Flash Flood Warning 38, NWS Wilmington, OH

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
1102 PM EDT TUE JUL 20 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN STRETCHED ACROSS THE
MID MISSISSIPPI AND OHIO VALLEYS THROUGH THE WEEK. SEVERAL
DISTURBANCES WILL MOVE EASTWARD THROUGH THE REGION...RESULTING IN
CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE MOVING THROUGH THE SOUTHERN THIRD
OF THE FORECAST AREA AT THIS TIME. BUT SCATTERED ACTIVITY MAY
CONTINUE IN THIS SAME AREA THROUGH THE NIGHT AS AN AXIS OF
MOISTURE CONVERGENCE HAS SET UP FROM CENTRAL ILLINOIS INTO WESTERN
WEST VIRGINIA. IF THIS DOES CONTINUE THEN THE FLOOD THREAT WILL
INCREASE ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE OHIO RIVER. APPEARS THAT NORTHERN
ZONES WILL BE DRY THROUGH THE NIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
TRICKY CONVECTIVE FORECAST WILL CONTINUE WEDNESDAY WITH ZONAL FLOW
ALOFT AND EMBEDDED DISTURBANCES PROVIDING FOCUSING AT VARIOUS
TIMES.

AGAIN...FEEL THE BETTER CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION LOOKS TO BE IN
THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA...CLOSER TO THE BOUNDARY AND THE
LIKELY BETTER INSTABILITY. AS IS USUALLY THE CASE...LINGERING
CLOUD COVER WILL PLAY A BIG ROLE IN WHAT AREAS ACTUALLY DO GET
ENOUGH SUN TO DESTABILIZE MORE SIGNIFICANTLY.

WITH THE AMOUNT OF SUN BEING THE MAIN QUESTION MARK FOR
TEMPERATURES...WILL GO CLOSE TO THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH
GUIDANCE (BIAS-CORRECTING THE NAM OR SREF LOOKED REASONABLE). THIS
PUTS VALUES SIMILAR TO WHAT IS OUT THERE TODAY.

BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT...A DRY PUSH WILL BE COMING IN FROM THE
NORTH...HELPING TO TEMPORARILY END THE CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION FOR
THE NORTHERN THIRD OF THE CWA. THIS WILL ALSO HELP LOWS DROP A BIT
LOWER THAN SEEN IN THE PRECEDING COUPLE OF NIGHTS.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
MODELS AGREE ON MIN/LULL IN TS ACTIVITY THU NGT INTO FRI WITH FNT
TO THE N. GFS IS QUICKER IN PUSHING THE SFC LOW E ALONG WITH CDFNT
AND PCPN. LEANED TOWARDS THE SLOWER EC SOLUTION BASED ON THOUGHTS
ABOVE. SO KEPT PCPN IN SAT INTO SAT NGT.

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FOR THE LATER PART OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.

FOR TEMPS...WENT A MODEL BLEND OF GFS MOS/HPC. LOOKS LIKE FRI
WILL BE THE WARMEST DAY OF THE PERIOD WITH THE REGION WARM
SECTORED.

&&

.AVIATION /03Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
APPEARS THAT VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE NIGHT. THERE
IS A CHANCE OF ADDITIONAL STORMS MOVING INTO THE REGION AFTER 12Z
WITH A HIGHER PROBABILITY FOR THE CINCINNATI AREA. CONSIDERABLE
UNCERTAINTY IN THIS REGARD AND HAVE ONLY INCLUDED A CB QUALIFIER
AT KCVG AND KLUK. CUMULUS WILL DEVELOP DURING THE DAY WITH
RELATIVELY LOW BASES.

OUTLOOK...THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE THURSDAY AND AGAIN SATURDAY
THROUGH SUNDAY.
