AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
802 PM EDT FRI APR 22 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A WARM FRONT WILL LIFT NORTH ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH EARLY
SATURDAY MORNING. A COLD FRONT WILL THEN PUSH DOWN FROM THE
NORTHWEST LATE TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY BEFORE STALLING OUT ACROSS
THE REGION THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL LEAD TO AN EXTENDED
THREAT FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
HAVE USED A BLEND OF THE NAM-WRF...GFS AND HRRR MODELS FOR THE
NEAR TERM FORECAST. A WARM FRONT WAS LOCATED FROM CNTRL
MISSOURI...TO SRN ILLINOIS...SRN INDIANA...THEN INTO NRN
KENTUCKY THIS AFTN. AS A MID LVL TROF PIVOTS FROM THE NRN PLAINS
TO THE GREAT LAKES OVERNIGHT...IT WILL PERTURB SFC LOW PRESSURE TO
OUR WEST. THIS DEEPENING LOW WILL ALLOW THE WARM FRONT TO PUSH
NORTH OF THE REGION BY EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. THEREAFTER...
AFOREMENTIONED SFC LOW WILL CONTINUE NE...BEING LOCATED NEAR SRN
ONTARIO BY SATURDAY MORNING. A TRAILING COLD FRONT FROM THIS LOW
WILL PUSH SOUTHEAST INTO THE REGION.

CWFA  HAS ESCAPED HEAVY RAIN THUS FAR TODAY. THAT SHOULD CHANGE
TONIGHT AS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED AHEAD OF THE
WARM FRONT AND ALONG AND IN FRONT OF THE COLD FRONT. WILL CONTINUE
WITH CATEGORICAL POPS...KNOWING THERE COULD BE A RELATIVE LULL IN
ACTIVITY LATE THIS EVENING INTO EARLY MORNING BETWEEN MOVING
FRONTAL BOUNDARIES. AGAIN...HEAVY RAIN IS LIKELY GIVEN MOIST
AIRMASS INTERACTING WITH FRONTAL BOUNDARIES...SO THE FLASH FLOOD
WATCH WILL CONTINUE.

AS FOR SEVERE WX POTENTIAL...SVR THUNDERSTORMS WATCH NUMBER 178 IS
IN EFFECT FOR THE FAR SWRN PART OF OUR CWFA UNTIL 7 PM EDT. SVR
POTENTIAL WILL DEPEND ON HOW MUCH INSTABILITY CAN ADVECT NE INTO
THE REGION. FOR THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...CAN NOT RULE OUT A SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS AS MODELS INDICATE AROUND 1000 J/KG MUCAPE. THIS
INSTABILITY COMBINED WITH AMPLE SHEAR WILL KEEP THAT THREAT
INTACT.

TEMPERATURES WILL RISE IN SOME LOCATIONS OVERNIGHT AS THE WARM
FRONT ADVANCES...SO SOME LOCATIONS WILL HAVE EARLY EVENING LOWS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AFOREMENTIONED COLD FRONT WILL STALL OUT ACRS THE REGION SATURDAY
THROUGH SUNDAY AS IT BECOMES PARALLEL TO THE MID LEVEL FLOW.
EMBEDDED WEAK WX DISTURBANCES RIPPLING WITHIN THIS
FLOW...COMBINED WITH ENHANCED LLJ ACTIVITY FROM TIME TO
TIME...WILL KEEP THE THREAT FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS GOING.
AIRMASS WILL REMAIN MOIST...AND THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN WILL
CONTINUE ON SATURDAY. EVEN THOUGH MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
ARE EXPECTED SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY...WILL HOLD OFF EXTENDING
THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH AS WE NEED TO SEE WHERE SHORT TERM HEAVY
RAIN WILL FALL...AND WILL ALSO HOPE THAT MODELS COME INTO BETTER
AGREEMENT AS TO WHERE THE BOUNDARY WILL SET UP. THE BEST CHANCE OF
SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL OCCUR ALONG AND JUST ON THE COOL SIDE OF
THE BOUNDARY.

FOR SUNDAY NIGHT...THERE IS SOME INDICATION NOW FROM THE MODELS
THAT AFOREMENTIONED BOUNDARY MAY START TO MOVE NORTH/NORTHWEST AS
A DIGGING TROF MOVES INTO THE PLAINS...ALLOWING MID LVL FLOW TO
BACK WITH TIME.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE CLOUD AND RAIN DEPENDENT. HAVE USED MAINLY A
BLEND OF THE RAW 2 M GFS AND ECMWF.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
A WARM FRONT WILL BE LIFTING NORTH AT THE BEGINNING OF THE LONG TERM
AND THEREFORE GREATEST CHANCE FOR SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY
WILL BE ACROSS THE NORTH ON MONDAY.  A SERIES OF WAVES WILL MOVE
THROUGH THE REGION FOR THE LONG TERM.  THE FIRST ONE WILL MOVE
THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY.  THERE ARE SOME TIMING
DISCREPANCIES WITH THIS SYSTEM HOWEVER THE LATEST ECMWF SOLUTION HAS
COME MORE IN LINE WITH THE GFS.  ANOTHER LOW WILL MOVE UP FROM THE
SW TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY.  A LOT OF MOISTURE WILL BE BROUGHT
UP INTO THE AREA WITH THIS SYSTEM AND THEREFORE HEAVY RAIN WILL BE
POSSIBLE.  HEAVY RAIN ON TOP OF ALREADY SATURATED GROUND WILL ADD TO
FLOODING ISSUES AROUND THE AREA.  THE LOW WILL BEGIN TO MOVE NE OF
THE FA BY THURSDAY AND THEREFORE PRECIP WILL BEGIN TO TAPER OFF
ACROSS THE AREA.  COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL FILTER INTO THE AREA ON
THURSDAY.  HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN MOVE INTO THE AREA FOR FRIDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
STRONG MIXING IS OCCURRING WITH SURFACE WINDS GUSTING TO 30-40KT
AT TAF ISSUANCE TIME. CB MAMA NOTED AT KILN ALTHOUGH THE ONGOING
STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO SKIRT ALL BUT KILN TAF SITES IN THE NEXT
FEW HOURS. LOW STRATUS OVER INDIANA WILL SPREAD INTO OHIO IN THE
WAKE OF THE STORMS THIS EVENING...MIXING OUT AFTER LASTING ONLY A
FEW HOURS.

WARM FRONT IS PROGGED TO QUICKLY PEEL NORTH THIS EVENING WITH A
STRONG SOUTHERLY WIND TURNING SSW. SCATTERED DOWNSTREAM CONVECTION
MAY BECOME MORE ORGANIZED LATER THIS EVENING BUT ATTM IT IS
REMAINING SCATTERED IN NATURE WHICH WILL LIKELY CHANGE OVERNIGHT.

BOUNDARY LAYS OUT OVER THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY AND REMAINS A FOCUS
FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. CIGS
VSBYS AND WINDS WILL BE HARD PRESSED TO SEE ANY ORGANIZATION IN
CLOSE PROXIMITY TO CONVECTION TONIGHT AND TOMORROW. IF STORMS
LIFT NORTHWARD TONIGHT OR PUSH EASTWARD SATURDAY A MORE DEFINITIVE
FORECAST CAN BE MADE. ATTM...THIS IS NOT THE CASE AND CONFIDENCE
IN THE FORECAST IS LOW.

OUTLOOK...HIGH LIKELIHOOD OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED
TO CONTINUE SATURDAY EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY WITH MVFR/IFR
CIGS/VSBYS POSSIBLE.
