AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
1015 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/...
SUITE OF MODEL GUIDANCE HAS NOT PROVIDED A GOOD HANDLE ON THE
CURRENT SITUATION THIS MORNING...SO MUCH OF THE FORECAST WILL HAVE
TO BE OBSERVATIONAL AT THIS POINT. FIRST ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS
GENERATED SOME SEVERE HAIL AND FLASH FLOODING ACROSS THE REGION.
WITH THE SURFACE STILL DECOUPLED DID NOT HAVE MUCH TO REPORT IN
THE WAY OF WINDS. AS HIGHER DEWPOINTS AND MAYBE SOME WARMING WORK
IN THROUGH THE DAY...WILL SEE SOME SURFACE INSTABILITY DEVELOP.
AND BY SOME...THE RUC IS INDICATING 4000 J/KG AT CINCINNATI BY
20Z. WITH SOME MOISTENING AND WARMING OF THE BOUNDARY LAYER
JUXTAPOSED ON THE CURRENT UNSTABLE CONDITIONS ALOFT THIS MAY NOT
BE TOO FAR FROM BEING CORRECT (THOUGH IT IS OBVIOUSLY INFLATED BY
TOO HIGH SURFACE TEMPS). SHEAR LOOKS AMPLE IN THE LOW LEVELS
THOUGH NOT TERRIBLY IMPRESSIVE ALOFT...BUT IT WILL BE GOOD ENOUGH
FOR A CONTINUING THREAT OF SEVERE STORMS. HEAVY RAIN IS ALSO A
THREAT GIVEN THE MOISTURE IN THE ATMOSPHERE.

KNOCKED TEMPS DOWN A FEW DEGREES TO NUMBERS QUIET A BIT BELOW
GUIDANCE GIVEN CURRENT TRENDS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE SOUTH.

WITH THUNDERSTORMS AROUND THE AREA WE WERE UNABLE TO GET A MORNING
SOUNDING LAUNCHED...BUT WILL BE LOOKING FOR A WINDOW TO DO SO
LATER ON.

&&

.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 /14Z 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.
