AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
422 PM EDT FRI MAY 1 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A BROADENING UPPER TROUGH ACROSS EASTERN CANADA AND THE GREAT
LAKES WILL SEND A COLD FRONT SOUTHWARD INTO THE OHIO VALLEY THIS
EVENING. THE FRONT WILL REACH THE TENNESSEE VALLEY BY SATURDAY
AFTERNOON...WHERE IT WILL REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY THROUGH EARLY
NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
COLD FRONT CURRENTLY NOSING INTO THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA
WILL CONTINUE TO SLIDE SOUTH TONIGHT. LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG
THIS FEATURE WILL INCREASE THIS EVENING AS 925 AND 850-HPA JET
STRENGTHENS TO BTWN 25-35 KTS. THIS WILL CAUSE CURRENT SHRA/TSTRM
ACTIVITY TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS.
LAPSE RATES ARE NOT AT ALL IMPRESSIVE SO INSTBY ALONG AND AHEAD OF
THE FRONT WILL BE LIMITED THIS EVENING...WITH CAPE VALUES AOB 1000
J/KG. DEEP-LAYER SHEAR IS A MODEST 30-40 KT WHICH MAY SUPPORT A
FEW STRONGER UPDRAFTS CAPABLE OF SMALL HAIL...POSSIBLY EVEN A
REPORT OR TWO OF MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL...ESPECIALLY WITH LOW WBZ
HEIGHTS. LACK OF ANY SIGNIFICANT LOW-LEVEL SHEAR SHOULD KEEP
SEVERE THREAT LIMITED TO HAIL AND POSSIBLY A STRONG WIND GUST.

FRONT WILL PUSH INTO CNTRL KY AND WV AFTER MIDNIGHT. ELEVATED POST
FRONTAL CONVERGENCE MAY ALLOW SCATTERED SHOWERS TO LINGER AFTER
THE SFC FRONT MOVES THROUGH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
SFC FRONT WILL MAKE QUICK SOUTHWARD PROGRESS INTO TENNESSEE ON
SATURDAY. HOWEVER...WITH SLOPED NATURE TO THE FRONT...BOUNDARY AT
800 AND 750 HPA WILL HANG BACK NEAR THE OHIO RIVER. AS UPPER
TROUGH OVER THE GREAT LAKES BROADENS OUT...UPPER FLOW WILL BECOME
NEARLY PARALLEL TO THE LOW LEVEL BOUNDARY...CAUSING IT TO BECOME
NEARLY STATIONARY THROUGH THE WEEKEND. SEVERAL UPPER IMPULSES WILL
INTERACT W/ THE FRONT THROUGH SUNDAY...WITH PROLONGED RAIN CHANCES
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN CWA THROUGH THE PERIOD. LOW LEVEL WIND FIELD
WILL BE WEAK...SO DO NOT EXPECT MUCH SIGNIFICANT FORCING WHICH
WILL ACT AGAINST ANY KIND OF WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAIN EVENT.
STILL...WITH PRECIP CHANCES LINGERING FOR SEVERAL DAYS...THE
POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR AREAS OF HIGH WATER ACROSS THE SOUTH. CURRENT
HWO HANDLES THIS THREAT WELL.

SHOULD SEE A PRETTY SHARP CUTOFF TO PRECIP CHANCES FROM SOUTH TO
NORTH...WITH NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA SEEING JUST A SLIGHT
CHANCE AT BEST THROUGH THE WEEKEND. MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES WILL KEEP
TEMPS A FEW DEGREES BELOW AVG...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE SOUTH.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
MODELS DIFFERING SOMEWHAT AS TO HANDLING OF SYSTEM ON MON/TUE. GFS
KEEPS CWA DRIER WITH SOME LINGERING MOISTURE NEAR THE OHIO RIVER
WHILE OTHER MODELS WANT MORE SIGNIFICANT SYSTEM WITH QPF OVER ENTIRE
CWA. WILL GO WITH A BLEND FOR NOW AND KEEP CHANCE POPS IN...
ESPECIALLY SOUTH AND EAST. TEMPS WILL DEPEND ON CLOUDS AND PRECIP
BUT NEAR GUID VALUES. BETTER AGREEMENT FOR A DRY WED RIGHT NOW
BETWEEN SYSTEMS. SHOWERS RETURN FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY BUT
AGAIN TIMING IS QUESTIONABLE FOR NOW. WILL GO WITH CHC POPS FOR NOW.
NO THUNDER YET BUT MAY HAVE TO BE ADDED LATER IF SYSTEM MAINTAINS
STRENGTH. NEW GFS INDICATING MORE SHOWERS POSSIBLE THURSDAY NIGHT
INTO FRIDAY NIGHT. WILL LEAVE A LOW POP IN FOR NOW AGAIN SOME
UNCERTAINTY OF TIMING AT THIS POINT. TEMPS NEAR GUID FOR WED AND
THEN A LITTLE BELOW FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WITH SHOWERS AND CLOUDS.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
SFC COLD FRONT JUST ENTERING NW OHIO TO DROP SLOWLY SOUTH INTO
CENTRAL OHIO LATER THIS AFTN AND TO NEAR THE OHIO RIVER BY 00Z
SAT. THIS FRONT TO LAY OUT W-E ACRS SRN KY...PARALLEL TO MID LEVEL
FLOW LATE TONIGHT/EARLY SAT. BOUNDARY LAYER CAPES AROUND 1000 J/KG
EXPECTED ACRS THE SOUTH THIS AFTN. SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS HAVE RE-
DEVELOPED IN THE FAVORABLE LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE AND MARGINAL
INSTBY ALONG AND AHEAD OF THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY. HAVE TEMPO
MENTION OF THUNDER AT ALL TAF SITES WITH MVFR CIGS/VSBYS.
LINGERING POST FRONTAL SHOWERS TO CONT INTO THE EVENING AND FOR
NOW HAVE HANDLED THESE SHOWERS WITH VCSH SINCE UNCERTAINTY OF
COVERAGE EXISTS. SWRLY WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE NW TO NORTH WITH
