AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
306 PM EDT SAT JUN 4 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE NORTH THIS
AFTERNOON...MOVING SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE REGION TONIGHT. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE REGION...AS THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY REMAINS STALLED NEAR THE OHIO RIVER ON SUNDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT/...
MAIN CONCERN FOR THE FORECAST TONIGHT IS ON SEVERE
POTENTIAL...PRIMARILY ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA.

STRONG INSOLATION HAS BEEN GOING ON ACROSS THE MAJORITY OF THE
FORECAST AREA...IN THE WAKE OF THE SMALL BAND OF ELEVATED ACTIVITY
THAT PUSHED EAST THROUGH THE REGION IN THE PAST FEW HOURS.
TEMPERATURES HAVE CLIMBED WELL INTO THE 90S...EVEN AS FAR NORTH AS
DETROIT. MEANWHILE...SOUTHWESTERLY TO WESTERLY WINDS HAVE BEEN
CONTRIBUTING TO MOISTURE ADVECTION. DEWPOINTS ARE PUSHING 70 IN
THE WESTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA...ALTHOUGH MIXING AND
CUMULUS DEVELOPMENT MAY OFFSET THIS A BIT. EVEN STILL...LOWER 70
DEWPOINTS ARE EXPECTED IN THE SOUTHWESTERN PART OF THE FORECAST
AREA THIS EVENING...WITH MID 60S TO UPPER 60S ELSEWHERE. THESE
FACTORS HAVE LED TO MLCAPE VALUES OF AROUND 2500-3000 J/KG IN THE
WESTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA...WITH SLIGHTLY LOWER VALUES
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP IN THE EASTERN HALF OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS.

FORCING WILL BE PROVIDED BY A SOUTHWARD MOVING COLD FRONT...WITH
INITIATION JUST STARTING TO BEGIN NOW (19Z) ACROSS NORTHERN
ILLINOIS AND INDIANA. LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE/FRONTOGENESIS LOOKS
SUFFICIENT (THOUGH NOT REMARKABLY STRONG) TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE
INSTABILITY. SHEAR...HOWEVER...IS A MARGINAL FACTOR THAT MAY LIMIT
STORM ORGANIZATION FOR THE ILN FORECAST AREA. 0-6KM BULK SHEAR OF
30 KNOTS OR SO IS SUPPORTIVE OF STORM ORGANIZATION...BUT THIS IS
NOT AT THE HIGH END OF THE SPECTRUM. IN ADDITION...THE SHEAR IS
RELATIVELY UNIDIRECTIONAL. STORM MODE WILL PROBABLY BE THAT OF
BROKEN LINES OR SEGMENTS...RATHER THAN A FULL-BLOWN MCS OR
DISCRETE SUPERCELLS.

IT LOOKS LIKE THE PRIMARY THREAT WILL BE FOR SEVERE WIND
GUSTS...ALTHOUGH SOME LARGE HAIL CANNOT BE RULED OUT GIVEN THE
HIGHER-END INSTABILITY. HIGH LCLS AND UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW ARE NOT
ESPECIALLY SUPPORT OF TORNADOES. AS CONVECTION PROPAGATES FURTHER
SOUTHWARD...STORM ELEMENTS MAY BECOME ORIENTED SOMEWHAT PARALLEL
TO THE SHEAR VECTOR...LEADING TO GUSTING OUT AND A LESSENING WIND
THREAT FOR THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA.

TIMED OUT SOME LOW-END LIKELY POPS FOR THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN
PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA...WHERE MODELS ARE IN BETTER AGREEMENT
ON COVERAGE/QPF/TIMING OF PRECIPITATION.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT/...
THE SOMEWHAT-DIFFUSE BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN STRETCHED NEAR THE OHIO
RIVER AND THROUGH THE CINCINNATI AREA THROUGH THE DAY ON SUNDAY.
CANNOT RULE OUT ISOLATED SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ALONG
THIS BOUNDARY AT ANY TIME...ALTHOUGH IT LOOKS LIKE CHANCES WILL BE
BETTER FOR SOME PRECIPITATION IN THE FAR SOUTH ON SUNDAY
MIDDAY INTO AFTERNOON...AS THE FRONT STARTS PUSHING SOUTH OF THE
FORECAST AREA. DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH CLOUD COVER IS
AROUND...INSTABILITY COULD BUILD ENOUGH TO ALLOW FOR ISOLATED
STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. THIS THREAT WOULD BE LIMITED ONLY
TO THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA.

CONDITIONS SHOULD DRY OUT ON SUNDAY NIGHT...WITH SLIGHTLY LOWER
DEWPOINTS AND DECREASING CLOUD COVER ALLOWING TEMPS TO FALL A BIT
FURTHER ON SUNDAY NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SFC HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST OF THE AREA ON MONDAY
AS UPR LVL RIDGE BEGINS TO BUILD BACK TO THE NE TOWARD THE MIDDLE
OHIO VALLEY. THIS WILL BRING A WEAK WARM FRONT BACK TO THE NE AS WELL.
THIS FEATURE COULD TRIGGER AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM AS IT
ADVANCES SLOWLY NE AND HAVE THUS KEPT 20 POPS IN THE FORECAST FOR
THE AFTN AND EVENING HOURS...MAINLY WESTERN ZONES.

FOR MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY...MUCH UNCERTAINTY EXISTS ON POTENTIAL
MCS DEVELOPMENT ACRS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES AND HOW IT WILL EVOLVE/
PROPAGATE SOUTHEAST. HAVE SIDED WITH THE GFS/CMC/ECMWF MODELS WHICH
BRUSH OUR NRN/NERN CWFA WITH A THREAT FOR SHOWERS/STORMS. GIVEN
UNCERTAINTY...WILL ONLY GO AS HIGH AS 30 PERCENT. UPR LVL RIDGE
SHOULD REACH ITS FARTHEST EXTENT NORTH TUESDAY NIGHT...AND WILL
BEGIN TO FLATTEN TO THE SOUTH ON WEDNESDAY AS UPSTREAM ENERGY BEGINS
TO APPROACH THE NRN PLAINS/UPR MS RIVER VALLEY.

ON WEDNESDAY...REGION WILL BE IN A SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW PATTERN AT THE
SFC AS A COLD FRONT BEGINS TO SAG SOUTHEAST TOWARD THE WESTERN GREAT
LAKES/MIDDLE MS RIVER VALLEY. GIVEN HEAT AND HUMIDITY...CAN NOT RULE
OUT A POP UP SHOWER/STORM IN THE HEAT OF THE DAY INTO THE EARLY
EVENING HOURS...SO HAVE CONTINUE TO KEEP 20 POPS IN THE FORECAST.

FOR THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY...GFS/ECMWF ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT IN
SENDING AFOREMENTIONED COLD FRONT THROUGH THE REGION. THIS WILL MOST
LIKELY BRING THE BEST THREAT FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE
EXTENDED PERIOD. AGAIN...GIVEN HOW HARD IT IS TO PINPOINT TIMING AND
AREAL EXTENT OF CONVECTION DURING THIS TIME OF THE YEAR...HAVE KEPT
POPS IN THE CHANCE CATEGORY ATTM.

FOR THE UPCOMING WEEKEND...HAVE TAKEN A BLEND OF HPC AND THE 00Z
ECMWF WHICH KEEPS SFC HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE REGION ALONG WITH DRY
WEATHER.

TEMPERATURE WISE...IT WILL BE WARM TO HOT THROUGH MID WEEK...
FOLLOWED BY SOMEWHAT COOLER TEMPERATURES AND DRIER AIR BY THE
WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THIS AFTERNOON WITH SCT CU DEVELOPING
ACROSS THE AREA. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE NORTH THIS
EVENING...PROVIDING A CHANCE FOR SCT SHWRS AND TSTMS AT EACH OF THE
TAF SITES. A FEW OF THE STORMS ACROSS CENTRAL OHIO COULD BECOME
SEVERE. THE SHWRS AND TSTMS ARE EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY WEAKEN AS
THEY PROGRESS SOUTHWARD AFTER SUNSET...AND THEY SHOULD DIMINISH BY
EARLY MORNING.

WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE W AND NW BEHIND THE FRONT TONIGHT. EXPECTING
MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT...BUT WITH ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE AND LIGHT WINDS...THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR MIST AT MOST
SITES. VSBYS MAY DROP TO MVFR CONDITIONS TOWARDS DAYBREAK...WITH
THE EXCEPTION OF KLUK WHICH MAY DROP TO LIFR CONDITIONS DUE TO FOG
POTENTIAL THERE.

EXPECTING MOSTLY QUIET CONDITIONS ACROSS THE AREA SUNDAY MORNING...
BUT THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF TSTMS ACROSS SOUTHERN PORTION
OF THE AREA TOWARDS AFTERNOON.

OUTLOOK...THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE INTO MONDAY NIGHT.
