Flash Flood Warning 4, NWS Wilmington, OH

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
409 PM EDT THU AUG 16 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL ACCOMPANY A FRONT AS IT
DROPS SOUTH OF THE REGION TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FOR
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WITH DRY CONDITIONS AND COOLER TEMPERATURES.
&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS SLOW MOVING FRONTAL BOUNDARY ORIENTED
W-E NEAR THE OHIO RIVER. MCS HAS DEVELOPED NORTH OF THIS BOUNDARY
OVER SRN IL AND IS CURRENTLY MOVING INTO SRN INDIANA. NAM HAS BOUNDARY
LAYER INSTBY ESTIMATED AT 3500 J/KG ACRS THE SOUTH BUT ALSO IS USING
MID 70S TD/S. GFS HAS BOUNDARY LYR CAPES AROUND 1500 J/KG BUT ONLY
BRINGS IN UPPER 60 SFC DEWPOINTS. EXPECT ACTUAL CAPES TO BE IN
BTWN THESE VALUES WITH MODERATE INSTBY AND BOUNDARY LYR CAPES
OF 2000-2500 J/KG. WITH THIS INSTBY IN PLACE AND UPPER SUPPORT
PIVOTING THRU THIS EVENING EXPECT TO SEE ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT WITH THE BEST COVERAGE FOCUSED ON THE AFOREMENTIONED
BOUNDARY. WITH WET BULB ZERO VALUES AROUND AROUND 12KFT AND DELTA
THETA-E VALUES AROUND 30 DEGS EXPECT POSSIBLE DAMAGING WINDS IN
SOME OF THE STORMS OVER THE SW THIS EVENING. HAVE THIS MENTION
IN THE FCST. HAVE ALSO BUMPED UP POPS INTO THE LKLY CAT ACRS
THE SOUTH. WITH SOME CLDS LINGERING AND DRIER AIR LAGGING HAVE
GONE A LTL WARMER THAN MAV WITH LOWS TNGT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
SFC HIGH PRESSURE TO BUILD INTO THE REGION ON FRIDAY OFFERING
DRIER AND COOLER WEATHER. MAV APPEARS TOO WARM BASED ON LO LVL
CAA SO HAVE GONE WITH A BLEND OF MAV/MET COOLER THAN MAV FOR
HIGHS FRIDAY. THIS HIGH SETTLES INTO THE REGION FRI NIGHT.
AGAIN...PREFER A BLEND OF MAV/MET TEMP GUIDANCE.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
MID LEVEL FLOW FORECAST TO BECOME A BIT MORE NORTHWESTERLY THROUGH
THE FIRST PART OF THE WEEKEND AS UPPER LEVEL TROUGH STRENGTHENS SOME
ALONG THE NORTHEAST COAST. AS A RESULT...THINK THE GFS MAY BE A
LITTLE SLOW PUSHING THE FRONT THROUGH OUR AREA ON FRIDAY MORNING AND
WILL GO WITH MORE OF A BLEND BETWEEN IT AND THE FASTER NAM AND NGM.
WILL THEREFORE GO WITH A DRY FORECAST FOR FRIDAY WITH SKIES BECOMING
MOSTLY SUNNY. ALSO PREFER HIGH TEMPS ON FRIDAY CLOSER TO THE COOLER
MET/FWC NUMBERS.

UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE CENTRAL UNITED STATES WILL GRADUALLY
FLATTEN OUT THROUGH THE MIDDLE PART OF NEXT WEEK...ALLOWING FOR FLOW
TO BECOME MORE ZONAL ACROSS OUR AREA. IN THE WESTERLY FLOW...A
SERIES OF WEAK SHORT WAVES WILL PUSH EAST ACROSS THE REGION. TIMING
IS DIFFICULT WITH THESE THOUGH SO THINK THE BEST WAY TO HANDLE IT AT
THIS POINT IS TO GO WITH A GENERAL 30 POP FOR A GOOD PART OF THE
EXTENDED. RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE BEST CHANCE FOR ANY PCPN WOULD BE
IN THE SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY TIME PERIOD SO WILL ALLOW FOR CHANCE
POPS THEN AND THEN BUFFER A PERIOD ON EITHER SIDE WITH A 20 POP.

AFTER AN INITIAL COOL DOWN EARLY IN THE LONG TERM PERIOD...LOW LEVEL
THERMAL FIELDS WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE. WILL THEREFORE GO WITH A
GRADUAL WARM UP THROUGH MID WEEK...WITH HIGH TEMPS BACK UP INTO THE
MID TO UPPER 80S BY TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGES SHOWING CU FIELD BECOMING MORE ORGANIZED
ALONG BOUNDARY STRETCHING FROM SOUTHERN INDIANA INTO NORTHERN
KENTUCKY. WITH AIRMASS CONTINUING TO DESTABILIZE...EXPECT TO SEE
SOME THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE BOUNDARY THROUGH THIS
AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...LOOKS LIKE BEST CHANCE WILL REMAIN TO THE
SOUTH OF THE TAF SITES SO WILL ONLY INCLUDE A CB AT KCVG AND KLUK.
OTHERWISE...DEBRIS CLOUDINESS FROM MCS PUSHING ACROSS SOUTHERN
ILLINOIS WILL AFFECT THE TAF SITES THROUGH EARLY EVENING. EXPECT
MAINLY JUST SOME CIRRUS THEN OVERNIGHT WITH SOME BRIEF MVFR BR
TOWARD DAYBREAK AT KLUK...KCVG AND KILN.

OUTLOOK...TSTM POSSIBLE SUNDAY AND MONDAY.
