AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
716 AM EDT TUE AUG 4 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL SWING THROUGH THE UPPER GREAT LAKES
THROUGH WEDNESDAY...SENDING A COLD FRONT INTO THE OHIO VALLEY ON
WEDNESDAY NIGHT. A LARGE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BUILD INTO THE THE
EASTERN US BY THE END OF THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
ELEVATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE MOVING INTO THE CWA IN
RESPONSE TO A WEAK MIDLEVEL DISTURBANCE AND A DEVELOPING LOW LEVEL
JET. ELEVATED CAPE VALUES AROUND 2500 J/KG AND MODEST 0-6 KM SHEAR
AROUND 30 KT MAY ALLOW SOME OF THESE STORMS TO PRODUCE MARGINALLY
SEVERE HAIL...ESPECIALLY IF ANY OF THE HIGH 0-3 KM HELICITY IS
REALIZED AND ALLOWS THE STORMS TO ROTATE. LLJ WILL WEAKEN LATER THIS
MORNING WHICH MAY ALLOW STORMS TO WEAKEN IN INTENSITY FOR A
BIT...HOWEVER...AIRMASS WILL QUICKLY AND STRONGLY DESTABILIZE BY
LATE MORNING AND WILL FAVOR STRONG UPDRAFTS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR
DAMAGING WINDS AND SEVERE HAIL. WHILE MODELS ARE OVERDOING THE
DEGREE OF INSTBY...UPPER 60S AND LOW 70S DEWPOINTS ARE WORKING
THEIR WAY UP THE OHIO RIVER AND WILL LIKELY SPREAD INTO THE CWA
LATER ON...SO CAPE VALUES OF AT LEAST 3000 J/KG SEEM LIKELY LATER
TODAY. WILL NEED TO WATCH TRENDS CLOSELY AS LATEST RUNS OF THE NAM
AND RUC ARE SHOWING STRONGER 500-HPA WINDS THAN PREVIOUSLY
FORECAST FOR LATER TODAY. IF THESE MODELS ARE CORRECT...THIS
WOULD LEAD TO INCREASED DEEP LAYER SHEAR AND THE THREAT FOR A MORE
ORGANIZED SEVERE WEATHER EVENT THIS AFTERNOON.

SEVERAL WEAK UPPER IMPULSES WILL KEEP THE THREAT FOR SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND STORMS AROUND THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY FOR THE ENTIRE
AREA. HOWEVER...MAIN FOCUS FOR SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY
WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH A STRONGER SHORTWAVE...CURRENTLY
RESPONSIBLE FOR A FEW CONVECTIVE COMPLEXES OVER THE CENTRAL
PLAINS. THIS ACTIVITY WILL SPREAD SOUTHEAST LATER TODAY...WITH THE
POSSIBILITY OF AN ORGANIZED CONVECTIVE COMPLEX AFFECTING THE
SOUTHWEST PORTIONS OF THE CWA LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS
EVENING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
COMPLEX PATTERN WILL CONTINUE INTO WEDNESDAY AS SEVERAL
DISTURBANCES MOVE OVERHEAD WITHIN NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT...AND A
COLD FRONT SAGS SOUTHWARD INTO NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA. THIS
WILL KEEP CHANCES FOR CONVECTION CONFINED TO MAINLY THE SOUTHERN
HALF OF THE CWA ON WEDNESDAY. MAINTAINED LOW CHANCE TO SLIGHT
CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA WEDS NIGHT AND
THURS AS FRONT HANGS AROUND THE AREA AND DISTURBED NORTHWESTERLY
FLOW ALOFT CONTINUES. CONDITIONS WILL DRY OUT THURS NIGHT. STAYED
CLOSER TO COOLER MET NUMBERS THROUGH THE PERIOD...IF NOT A DEGREE
OR TWO COOLER.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
TRENDED TOWARD THE 06Z GFS FOR EXTENDED PERIOD. BEGINNING OF
EXTENDED PERIOD WILL SEE A TROUGH OVER NORTHEAST. THIS TROUGH WILL
MOVE EAST AS A 500MB HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE BUILDS INTO THE OHIO VALLEY
REGION SATURDAY. THE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE
WEEKEND AND BEGIN TO FLATTEN OUT ON MONDAY BRINGING A MORE ZONAL
FLOW TO THE REGION. AT THE SURFACE A STATIONARY FRONT LOCATED JUST
SOUTH OF THE OHIO RIVER FRIDAY WILL DRIFT NORTHEAST AS A WARM FRONT
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. JUST ENOUGH INSTABILITY AND MOISTURE WILL BE
PRESENT TO KEEP AT LEAST LOW CHANCES OF MAINLY DIURNAL SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE EXTENDED. AT THIS TIME THE
DRIEST DAY LOOKS TO BE SUNDAY..BUT SOME DIFFERENCE IN TIMING OF
SYSTEMS IS STILL SEEN IN MODELS. BELIEVE MONDAY WILL HAVE BETTER
CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION AS 500 MB FLOW BECOMES MORE ZONAL AND TROUGH
MOVES THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY REGION.

AS THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDS INTO THE OHIO VALLEY REGION OVER THE
WEEKEND ...TEMPERATURES WILL WARM. HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER
80S TO NEAR 90 ARE EXPECTED AT MANY LOCATIONS BY SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /11Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS PUSHING SLOWLY SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA EARLY
THIS MORNING AND THEY SHOULD CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE TAF SITES FOR THE
FIRST HOUR OR TWO OF THE PERIOD. THINK WE MAY THEN SEE A BIT OF A LULL
BEFORE THINGS GET GOING AGAIN LATER THIS AFTERNOON. STRONG INSTABILITY
IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE REGION. SERIES OF WEAK
MID LEVEL SHORT WAVES ARE FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH
THE TAF PERIOD. THE COMBINATION OF THE MID LEVEL FORCING AND SOME
DECENT INSTABILITY WILL LEAD TO A THREAT FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
THROUGH MUCH OF THE TAF PERIOD. WILL GO AHEAD AND COVER THE CHANCE
FOR THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING WITH A VCSH/CB. AFTER THAT WILL
LEAVE MENTION OUT OF THE TAFS BUT POSSIBILITY WILL EXIST FOR SOME
ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS OVERNIGHT.

OUTLOOK...A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY.
