Area forecast discussion, Aug 3, 5:58 AM EDT, 1 hour 26 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
558 AM EDT WED AUG 3 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE TRACKING THROUGH THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES WILL DRAG
A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA TODAY. HIGH PRESSURE AND DRIER AIR WILL
MOVE IN FOR TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY. A WEAK DISTURBANCE MAY BRING
A FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
COLD FRONT IS NEAR LAKE MICHIGAN...WITH LINE OF CONVECTION AHEAD
OF THE FRONT CROSSING NORTHWEST COUNTIES. LOW LEVEL JET AND
INSTABILITY ARE STRONG ENOUGH SO THAT SOME THUNDERSTORMS MAY REACH
SEVERE LIMITS...SO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 720 IS IN EFFECT
UNTIL 8 AM. THIS WATCH INCLUDES DAYTON AND COLUMBUS. MAIN THREAT
IS DAMAGING WINDS WITH LARGE HAIL ALSO POSSIBLE.

ONCE LINE OF CONVECTION MOVES THROUGH...CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS
WILL CONTINUE THIS AFTERNOON IN AREA OF PERSISTENT FRONTAL
CONVERGENCE AND INSTABILITY. TEMPERATURES WILL RISE TO AROUND 90.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE AND DRY AIR WILL MOVE IN TONIGHT BEHIND THE
DEPARTING COLD FRONT. THE HIGH WILL MOVE GRADUALLY ACROSS THE
GREAT LAKES THROUGH THURSDAY...KEEPING DRY WEATHER ACROSS THE
REGION. A WEAK MID LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVING FROM THE WEST ALONG A
SURFACE BOUNDARY WILL BRING A LOW CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ON FRIDAY.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE SLIGHTLY COOLER ON THURSDAY IN A NORTHERLY
FLOW WITH HIGHS REACHING THE MID TO UPPER 80S. HIGHS WILL BE CLOSE
TO 90 ON FRIDAY UNDER A SMALL AMOUNT OF WARM ADVECTION AND AIRMASS
MODIFICATION.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
A MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE INTERACTING WITH A SURFACE WARM FRONT WILL
PRODUCE ENOUGH FORCING TO TRIGGER SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS AREAS OF
CONVECTION ON SATURDAY. THE TIMING OF THIS FEATURE IN THE MODELS
CONTINUES TO JUMP AROUND A BIT. THE LATEST RUN BRINGS THE
STRONGEST FORCING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA DURING THE LATE MORNING
AND EARLY AFTERNOON. THIS WOULD FAVOR A WETTER SOLUTION...WITH THE
PEAK HEATING AIDING STRONGER CONVECTION TO DEVELOP. HAVE INCREASED
POPS SATURDAY TO A 50/50 CHANCE ACROSS MOST ZONES WHERE THE PEAK
DAYTIME HEATING SHOULD INTERACT WITH THE SHORTWAVE.

MODELS BEGIN TO DIVERGE IN THEIR SOLUTIONS ON SUNDAY WITH A MORE
PROGRESSIVE GFS PUSHING A FRONTAL BOUNDARY BEHIND THE SHORTWAVE WELL
SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA. THE ECMWF KEEPS THE TAIL END OF THE
FRONT NEAR THE OHIO RIVER...THEREFORE HAVE KEPT MAINLY SLIGHT CHANCE
POPS IN THAT AREA.

SOME DRIER AIR IS FORECAST TO MOVE INTO THE OHIO VALLEY LATE SUNDAY
THROUGH MONDAY. HOWEVER...SOME RESIDUAL MOISTURE MAY BE IN PLACE TO
ALLOW FOR SOME AFTERNOON CONVECTION. HAVE KEPT SLIGHT CHANCE POPS IN
FOR MONDAY WITH CHANCE POPS TUESDAY AS ADDITIONAL MOISTURE RETURNS
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA.

TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO REMAIN A FEW DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL
THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE LONG TERM PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /10Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
STRONG UPPER LEVEL RIDGE CONTINUE TO BE CENTERED OVER THE NATIONS
MID SECTION. ACTIVE THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX ASSOCIATED WITH S/W
ROUNDING THIS RIDGE DROPPING SE THRU THE OHIO VALLEY EARLY THIS
MORNING. EXPECT THESE STORMS TO CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE TAF SITES
THRU ABOUT 14Z. WILL ALLOW FOR TEMPO GROUPS FOR THESE STORMS AT
ALL SITES WITH MVFR VSBY RESTRICTIONS. AFTER THIS THUNDERSTORM
COMPLEX MOVES THRU THERE WL BE A CONTD THREAT FOR THUNDERSTORM RE-
DEVELOPMENT UNTIL A COLD FRONT MOVES THRU THIS AFTN. DUE TO
UNCERTAINTY ON COVERAGE AND THIS FUTURE DEVELOPMENT WL LIMIT THIS
LATE MORNING/EARLY AFTN MENTION TO ONLY CB. EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS
BEHIND THE FRONT INTO THIS EVENING. DUE TO MAINLY CLEAR SKIES AND
A MOIST LOW LEVEL EXPECT SOME FOG DEVELOPMENT OVERNIGHT WITH THE
POTENTIAL FOR STRATUS. AT THIS TIME HAVE MVFR VSBY RESTRICTIONS
AT ALL SITES WITH CONDITIONS DROPPING INTO IFR CATEGORY AT KLUK.

OUTLOOK...THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE SATURDAY.
