Flash Flood Watch 2, NWS Wilmington, OH

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
117 PM EDT THU JUN 26 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH
THE END OF THE WEEK. AS WEAK DISTURBANCES MOVE ACROSS THE
AREA...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR. A COLD FRONT WILL
CROSS THE REGION ON SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT...PUTTING AN END
TO THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY AND ALLOWING COOLER AND DRIER AIR TO
ENTER THE OHIO VALLEY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
SOME CIRCULATION NOTED ON SATELLITE IMAGES WITH COMPLEX CURRENTLY
OVER NORTHWEST INDIANA. THE 12Z NAM SEEMS TO BE PICKING UP ON
THIS...BRINGING ASSOCIATED MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS
OUR AREA THROUGH TONIGHT. AS AIRMASS DESTABILIZES THROUGH THIS
AFTERNOON...EXPECT TO SEE SOME ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT
THROUGH MID AFTERNOON...WITH BETTER DEVELOPMENT AS BETTER FORCING
MOVES IN WITH SHORT WAVE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
ACTIVITY THAT IS AROUND THIS AFTERNOON SHOULD DROP OFF WITH A
DIURNAL MINIMUM BUT IT IS DIFFICULT TO SAY THAT STRONG STORMS MAY
NOT LINGER INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS OR THAT MID LEVEL ENERGY
COULDNT SPARK CONTINUED ACTIVITY. MODELS ARE IN OVERALL AGREEMENT
ON THE PATTERN BUT CANT COME TO THE CONSENSUS ON PLACEMENT DUE TO
THE ZONAL FLOW AND NEBULOUS PLACEMENT OF MID LEVEL S/W ENERGY.

OVERNIGHT LOWS SHOULD CONTINUE TO SEE A SLIGHT INCREASE TONIGHT
AND TOMORROW NIGHT...HANGING TOUGH IN THE UPPER 60S TO AROUND 70.
NAM IS SHOWING SHOWERS ON FRIDAY WILL KEEP HIGH TEMPS LIMITED TO
AROUND 80 BUT THIS APPEARS TOO FAR OFF. DID NOT RAISE TEMPS TO THE
90S AS SHOWN BY GFS AND FWC NUMBERS BUT KEPT A SOLUTION CLOSER TO
PREVIOUS FORECAST WITH UPPER 80S.

THE FRONTAL PASSAGE ON SATURDAY WILL LIKELY OCCUR LATER IN THE DAY
WITH STORMS FIRING AHEAD OF IT. NAM SHOWING AN INITIAL PRESSURE
TROUGH WITH A DISASSOCIATED WIND SHIFT AND ACTUAL FRONT LATER IN
THE EVENING...POSSIBLY SPARKING A SECOND ROUND OF CONVECTION. IT
IS TOO EARLY IN THE FORECAST PROCESS TO SAY THAT THIS WOULD OCCUR.

GFS IS A BIT TOO UNREALISTIC IN BRINGING A SECOND CLOSED LOW UP
LATE OVERNIGHT SATURDAY/EARLY SUNDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AFTER COLD FRONT SAT NIGHT...UPPER FLOW WORKS IN THOUGH THE WINDS
TAKE THEIR TIME TO SHIFT TO THE NW. COOLEST AIR OVER OHIO VALLEY
WILL OCCUR ON MONDAY WITH A GRADUAL WARMUP EXPECTED ON DAYTIME
HIGHS. NIGHTTIME MINS SHOULD FALL IN THE 60-65 RANGE THAT WAS
ALREADY IN THE FORECAST.

ONLY REAL CHANGES MADE TO THE EXTENDED WAS TO CUT THE TEMPERATURES
GRADIENT ON TUESDAY AS A REINFORCING THERMAL TROUGH WILL CROSS THE
REGION AND COLD POOL ALOFT WOULD NOT ALLOW FOR HIGHS IN THE SW TO
REACH THE UPPER 80S.

&&

.AVIATION /17Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE DEVELOPING EARLY THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS
AREA IN UNSTABLE AIRMASS. BETTER FORCING WILL WORK INTO THE AREA
FROM THE WEST THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON AS MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE
APPROACHES. WILL HANDLE CURRENT ACTIVITY WITH A TEMPO CB AND THEN
GO WITH A VCTS THIS EVENING WITH THE STRONGER UPPER LEVEL FORCING.
ANY THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY SHOULD THEN TAPER OFF OVERNIGHT.

OUTLOOK...THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE THROUGH SUNDAY.

&&

.ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
