Severe Thunderstorm Warning 108, NWS Wilmington, OH

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
1227 PM EDT FRI JUN 13 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST TODAY AND CROSS THE
REGION LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY SATURDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN
BUILD IN FOR THE REST OF THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
KILN RADAR AND MOSAIC RADAR THIS MORNING INDICATED SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE LOWER OHIO RIVER VALLEY
NORTHEAST INTO NORTHWEST OHIO/SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN. THIS ACTIVITY
DEVELOPED OVERNIGHT AND EARLY THIS MORNING DUE TO AN ALREADY
UNSTABLE AIRMASS AND ALSO DUE TO AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY EJECTED
EASTWARD FROM THE MID MS VLY. CONVECTION WILL TRANSITION FROM
ELEVATED TO SURFACE BASED AS DAYTIME HEATING PROGRESSES. MIXED
LAYER CAPE VALUES IN THE 1500-2000 J/KG BY MAXIMUM HEATING ARE
EXPECTED...WHICH IS IN THE MODERATE RANGE. ALTHOUGH OVERALL BULK
SHEAR IS WEAK...AROUND 25 KNOTS...THE MODERATE INSTABILITY AND
SUBTLE LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE BOUNDARIES/OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES SHOULD
LEAD TO BETTER THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE AND SLIGHTLY BETTER
ORGANIZATION THAN YESTERDAY AFTN. IN ADDITION...MODELS INDICATE
SOME WEAK S/WV ENERGY PASSING ACRS INDIANA/LOWER MICHIGAN LATE IN
THE DAY...WHICH WILL LIKELY BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO IMPART SOME WEAK
UPR LVL FORCING ACRS THE WRN CWFA. A FEW SEVERE STORMS ARE NOT
OUT OF THE QUESTION THIS AFTN GIVEN MODERATE INSTABILITY AND
DELTA THETA E VALUES AROUND 25 KELVIN. DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE
HAIL WILL BE THE PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER THREATS. WITH PWAT VALUES
RANGING BETWEEN 1.5 AND 1.75...HEAVY RAINFALL AND SUBSEQUENT
LOCALIZED FLOODING WILL BE A THREAT AS WELL.

CURRENT FORECAST LOOKS GOOD. THE ONLY CHANGES WILL BE TO USE
AREAL COVERAGE WORDING INSTEAD OF PROBABILITY. TEMPS SEEM
REASONABLE...RANGING FROM THE MID 80S WEST TO AROUND 90 EAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH INTO THE REGION OVERNIGHT AND MOVE OFF TO
THE EAST ON SATURDAY MORNING. SHOULD HAVE A PRETTY GOOD CHANCE OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH THIS FRONT AND HAVE CONTINUED TO GO
WITH LIKELY POPS. SHEAR IS FORECAST TO INCREASE SOMEWHAT OVERNIGHT
BUT INSTABILITY DECREASES QUITE A BIT. OVERALL LOOKS LIKE THE
SEVERE THREAT WILL CONTINUE INTO TONIGHT. PRECIPITATION WILL PUSH
OFF TO THE EAST WITH THE FRONT DURING THE MORNING. BUT IT IS NOT
OUT OF THE QUESTION THAT REDEVELOPMENT ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON COULD
OCCUR IN THE FAR EASTERN ZONES. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD IN
RESULTING IN DRY CONDITIONS SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. GFS MOS
LOOKED REASONABLE FOR TONIGHT. THEN TRENDED TOWARDS ETA MOS IN
LATER PERIODS.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
CHANGE IN THE UPPER AIR PATTERN WILL COMPLETED BY A SHORT WAVE
DROPPING SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE REGION ON MONDAY. THIS WILL
ESTABLISH A TROUGH IN THE NORTHEAST RESULTING IN COOLER
TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY FOR MUCH OF THE WEEK.

THE SHORT WAVE ON MONDAY WILL PUSH A FRONT THROUGH THE FORECAST
AREA BRINGING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. SEVERAL SHORT
WAVES WILL BE DROPPING INTO THE MEAN UPPER TROUGH THROUGH THE
REST OF THE PERIOD. AND ANY ONE OF THESE COULD GENERATE SOME
SHOWERS. BUT AT THIS TIME THE PROBABILITY IS TOO LOW TO INCLUDE IN
THE FORECAST. TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR NORMAL SUNDAY NIGHT AND
THEN DROP BELOW NORMAL FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /16Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE UPPER AND MID MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY
THIS AFTERNOON WILL PUSH ACROSS THE TAF SITES BETWEEN 06Z AND 12Z.
IN THE MEANTIME...A VERY MOIST...UNSTABLE AIRMASS WILL INTERACT
WITH WEAK LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE BOUNDARIES AND OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES
FROM OTHER THUNDERSTORMS TO PRODUCE SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE TAF SITES THROUGH AT LEAST 02Z. AS A
RESULT...WILL USE TEMPO THUNDER GROUPS AT ALL TAF SITES...MAINLY
IN THE 20 TO 24 Z TIME FRAME. FOR TONIGHT...AS THE COLD FRONT
TRAVERSES THE REGION...IT WILL COUPLE WITH SOME UPPER DIVERGENCE
FROM THE JET STREAM ALOFT AND ASSOCD MID LEVEL WEATHER
DISTURBANCE TO CONTINUE THE THREAT FOR SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS.
AGAIN HAVE EMPLOYED TEMPO THUNDER GROUPS AT ALL TAF SITES BETWEEN
THE 04Z AND 12Z TIME FRAME. THERE WILL ALSO LIKELY BE A PERIOD OF
PREDOMINANT RAIN SHOWERS AND HAVE THUS INCLUDED THIS. AVIATORS CAN
EXPECTED MVFR CIGS AND MVFR/IFR VSBYS WITH THUNDERSTORMS.

A SURFACE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN THE WAKE OF THE
FRONTAL PASSAGE ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY REGION BETWEEN 12Z AND 18Z
SATURDAY. SOME MODELS INDICATE THAT SOME ISOLATED POP OF
SHOWERS MAY DEVELOP IN THE AFTN ALONG A WEAK LOW LVL CONVERGENCE
BOUNDARY. THIS IS TOO SMALL TO BE CONCERNED WITH AT THIS TIME AND
SO HAVE NOT MENTIONED IT IN THE TAFS. ANY MVFR VSBYS IN MIST
EARLIER ON WILL CLEAR OUT...LEAVING VFR CONDITIONS BY MID MORNING
SATURDAY.

OUTLOOK...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE ON MONDAY.
