AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
405 PM EDT TUE MAY 10 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A MID LVL RIDGE AXIS LOCATED FROM THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES
SOUTHWARD TO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WILL MOVE SLOWLY EAST
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK WEEK.
MEANWHILE...A WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE
REGION...EVENTUALLY WASHING OUT BY THE END OF THE WORK WEEK.
SUMMER-LIKE TEMPERATURES CAN BE EXPECTED DURING THIS PERIOD.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
THE NEAR TERM FORECAST WILL BE ACTIVE AS MESOSCALE INTERACTIONS
ARE ONGOING AT THE TIME OF ISSUANCE. A TANDEM OF WEAK VORT MAXES
WILL SLIDE SE ACRS THE REGION LATE THIS AFTN AND EVENING. THESE
WEAK FEATURES WILL INTERACT WITH A WARM FRONT ACRS THE REGION TO
PRODUCE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. VERY HIGH CAPE VALUES PER 18Z
ILN SPECIAL SOUNDING...AROUND 3500 J/KG...ALONG WITH AMPLE
SHEAR...WILL RESULT IN MULTICELL AND SUPERCELL CLUSTERS. SUPERCELLS
WILL BE PROLIFIC HAIL PRODUCES AND WILL LIKELY RESULT IN SOME
DAMAGING WINDS. GIVEN THAT STORM MOTIONS ARE AROUND 20 MPH...AND
THE THREAT THAT SOME LOCATIONS MAY SEE TRAINING STORMS...FLOODING
WILL ALSO BE A CONCERN. HAVE GONE WITH FAIRLY HIGH POPS OVER THE
WESTERN AND SOUTHERN PARTS OF THE CWFA WHERE FORCING WILL BE
MAXIMIZED. A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT ACRS
THESE AREAS UNTIL 8 PM EDT. A SOUTHWARD TREND AND AN GRADUAL
DECREASING TREND OF CONVECTION ARE EXPECTED THIS EVENING INTO THE
EARLY MORNING HOURS AS SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY WANES AND FORCING
WANES AS WELL. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL FALL INTO THE LOWER AND MID
60S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
A SUMMER-LIKE PATTERN IS IN THE OFFING DURING THE SHORT TERM PERIOD.

A MID LVL RIDGE AXIS WILL SLOWLY MOVE EAST ACRS THE FORECAST AREA
THROUGH THE PERIOD. HOWEVER...THE RIDGE WILL NOT BRING COMPLETE
DRY WEATHER AS A WARM AND HUMID AIRMASS WILL BE IN PLACE.
THIS...ALONG WITH WEAK LOW LEVEL FORCING AND WEAK WX DISTURBANCES
ROTATING THROUGH THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW...WILL RESULT IN CHANCES OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THE BEST CHANCES WILL LIKELY OCCUR DURING
THE PEAK HEATING OF THE DAY INTO THE EVENING HOURS. HIGHS IN THE
LOWER AND MID 80S AND LOWS IN THE LOWER AND MID 60S ARE EXPECTED
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. ON FRIDAY...MORE CLOUD COVER A LITTLE
HIGHER CHC FOR PCPN WILL TEMPER HIGHS DOWN INTO THE UPPER 70S TO THE
LOWER 80S.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
A HIGHLY AMPLIFIED UPPER LEVEL FLOW PATTERN IS ANTICIPATED DURING
THE LONG TERM PERIOD. IN FACT...THE FLOW WILL BECOME BLOCKY IN
NATURE AND WILL RESULT IN LARGE SYNOPTIC SCALE SYSTEMS TO MOVE
MORE NORTH TO SOUTH THAN WEST TO EAST. HAVE USED A BLEND OF THE
NCEP/HPC GUIDANCE AND THE 00Z ECMWF TO KEEP SOME CONTINUITY TO THE
FORECAST AS WELL AS TO BETTER COLLABORATE WITH SURROUNDING
OFFICES.

AN UPR LEVEL CLOSED LOW IS FORECAST TO MOVE SLOWLY SOUTHWARD FROM
THE MID MS RIVER VALLEY INTO THE LOWER GULF COAST STATES FROM
SATURDAY INTO MONDAY. AS THIS OCCURS...A COLD FRONT WILL SLIDE
FROM NORTH TO SOUTH ACRS THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY.
A MOISTURE FETCH OFF THE ATLANTIC WILL BE PULLED BACK WEST INTO
THE REGION...RESULTING IN THE THREAT FOR PCPN. HAVE KEPT BOTH A
CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS GOING SATURDAY INTO SATURDAY
NIGHT...TRANSITIONING OVER TO A CHANCE OF SHOWERS ON SUNDAY AS
INSTBY DECREASES WITH A COOLER AIRMASS. MODEL TRENDS INDICATE THAT
THE THREAT OF PCPN WILL BE SLOW TO EXIT THE REGION SUNDAY NIGHT
INTO MONDAY GIVEN THE SLOW MOVEMENT OF SYNOPTIC SYSTEMS. SFC HIGH
PRESSURE IS POISED AT THIS TIME TO BUILD INTO THE REGION MONDAY
NIGHT INTO TUESDAY WHICH SHOULD ALLOW THE REGION TO DRY OUT BY
THEN. TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE PERIOD WILL SHOW A COOLING TREND
GIVEN CLOUDS...PCPN AND A NORTHEAST SFC WIND FLOW. COULD EVEN BE
COOLER THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST...BUT WILL NOT GO THAT EXTREME AT
THIS TIME.
&&

.AVIATION /20Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE BEGINNING TO DEVELOP ALONG
INSTABILITY GRADIENT CURRENTLY EXTENDING FROM CENTRAL INDIANA DOWN
INTO NORTHERN KENTUCKY. AS SURFACE BOUNDARY CONTINUES TO LIFT
NORTHEAST THROUGH EARLY EVENING...AIRMASS WILL CONTINUE TO
DESTABILIZE ACROSS OUR AREA. EXPECT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO
CONTINUE TO FILL IN THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND
SOUTHWEST OF A KDAY TO KILN LINE. AREA OF PCPN SHOULD THEN PUSH
SOUTHEAST OF OUR AREA THROUGH EARLY EVENING. MODELS ARE HINTING
AT SOME FOG AND LOWER CLOUDS LATER TONIGHT. TOUGH TO DISCOUNT THIS
COMPLETELY WITH HIGH BUILDING IN ALOFT BUT THIS WILL LIKELY DEPEND
TO SOME DEGREE ON HOW MUCH PCPN WE END UP GETTING LATER THIS
AFTERNOON. WILL HEDGE FOR NOW AND KEEP ANY CIGS VFR LATER TONIGHT
AND JUST BRING IN SOME MVFR VSBY RESTRICTIONS. AIRMASS WILL
DESTABILIZE ONCE AGAIN THROUGH THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY BUT WE ARE
LACKING A FORCING MECHANISM SO ANY THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT SHOULD
BE MORE ISOLATED THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS.

OUTLOOK...THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.
