AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
351 PM EDT FRI MAR 30 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL TRACK EAST ACROSS THE REGION LATE THIS
AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING...BRINGING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN AGAIN ON SATURDAY. A BACK DOOR COLD
FRONT WILL DROP THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES AND INTO THE REGION ON
SUNDAY BRINGING ANOTHER CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
SEEING SOME SCT CONVECTION DEVELOPING OUT AHEAD OF LOW PRESSURE IN
ERN IL/WRN IN. THE MODELS ARE FAIRLY CONSISTENT IN PUSHING THE LOW
EASTWARD ALONG WITH ITS ATTENDANT CDFNT. MESOSCALE MODELS FORM A
LINE OF CONVECTION AHEAD OF THE CDFNT IN INDIANA AND BRING IT INTO
THE NW AROUND 21Z. LINE WORKS ACROSS THE FA REACHING THE SE BY
03Z. FRONT TRIES TO LAY OUT ACROSS THE S...SO MIGHT SEE SOME
LINGERING PCPN THERE AFT 06Z...BUT DYNAMICS AND INSTABILITY WANES QUICKLY.

WENT WITH A MODEL BLEND FOR LOWS TONIGHT...PUTTING UPPER 30S IN
THE N AND LOWER 50S IN THE S. NOT EXPECTING A CHANCE OF FROST
TONIGHT IN THE N AS MODELS ARE BRINGING IN LOW LEVEL CLOUDS POST
FRONTAL.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE AT SFC NOSES DOWN INTO THE REGION ON SATURDAY.
MODELS ARE SHOWING ABUNDANT H9 MOISTURE OVER THE FA AT THE
BEGINNING OF THE DAY. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE/CLOUDS MIX OUT AS THE
DAY PROGRESSES.

THE AXIS OF THE RIDGE SLIDES ACROSS THE FA SATURDAY NIGHT. THE
FLOW ALOFT TURNS TO THE NW SATURDAY AS H5 RIDGE BUILDS IN THE
PLAINS. A BACKDOOR CDFNT DROPS THROUGH THE LAKES SUNDAY. MODELS
DIFFER A LITTLE IN THE SCENARIO. THE GFS/ECMWF DROP CDFNT DOWN
ACROSS THE FA WITH SCT CONVECTION. THE NAM IS A LITTLE SLOWER WITH
THE FNT AND FARTHER N. DECIDED TO GO WITH THE GFS/ECMWF
SOLUTION...SO BROUGHT CHC POPS IN SUNDAY AND MOVED THEM INTO THE
SRN AND WRN SECTIONS BY SUNDAY NIGHT.

NAM MOS TEMPERATURES ARE MUCH COOLER FOR HIGHS ON SATURDAY. A MODEL
CONSENSUS INDICATES THAT HIGHS CLOSER TO THE GFS MOS SEEM MORE
REASONABLE. SATURDAY NIGHT UNDER MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES...TEMPERATURES
WILL COOL. WILL HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR PATCHY FROST IN THE NE
FOR THAT TIME...BUT RIGHT NOW FEEL IT IS TOO EARLY TO WORRY ABOUT
IT TOO MUCH. TEMPERATURES REBOUND QUICKLY ON SUNDAY AHEAD OF THE
FRONT. ONCE AGAIN LEANED TOWARDS THE WARMER GFS MOS VALUES.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
MID LEVEL RIDGING WILL BE IN PLACE ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY BY 12Z
MONDAY MORNING WITH A WEAKENING COLD FRONT TO OUR SOUTH. THE MODELS
ARE TRYING TO SHOW THIS FRONT LIFTING BACK TO THE NORTHEAST AS A
WARM FRNT THROUGH THE DAY ON MONDAY...BUT DISAGREE ON BOTH THE
TIMING AND THE STRENGTH OF THIS FEATURE. WILL THEREFORE JUST HANG ON
TO SOME LOWER CHANCE POPS MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT.

THE MODELS ARE ALSO HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME RESOLVING THE SHORT
WAVE ENERGY MOVING OUT OF THE ROCKIES THROUGH MID WEEK. BOTH THE 12Z
NAM AND 12Z CMC ARE TRYING TO CLOSE OFF A 5H LOW AS IT MOVES INTO
THE TENNESSEE VALLEY WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY. HOWEVER...THE 00Z
ECMWF KEEPS THE CLOSED LOW WELL BACK TO THE SOUTHWEST AND AS A
RESULT IS MUCH SLOWER TO BRING RIDGING IN FROM THE WEST THROUGH
LATE IN THE WEEK. IN FACT...THE 00Z ECMWF KEEPS A FAIRLY DEEP TROUGH
OVER THE NORTHEASTERN UNITED STATES THROUGH THE LONG TERM PERIOD. IT
LOOKS LIKE THERE WILL BE A DECENT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS BY TUESDAY AS THE INITIAL ENERGY APPROACHES BUT THE
QUESTION WILL BE HOW LONG ANY TREAT WILL HANG AROUND INTO THE MIDDLE
PART OF THE WEEK. WITH THE CLOSED LOW OF THE GFS/CMC WOULD THINK ANY
LINGERING PCPN WOULD MAINLY REMAIN TO OUR SOUTHWEST. MEANWHILE...ANY
PCPN PUSHING DOWN THE BACK SIDE OF THE TROUGH OF THE ECMWF SHOULD
MAINLY REMAIN TO OUR EAST. WILL THEREFORE GO WITH A DRY FORECAST
FROM MID WEEK ON...BUT CONFIDENCE IS NOT VERY HIGH WITH THIS
FORECAST. OF COURSE TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE WEEK WILL ALSO BE
AFFECTED BY ALL OF THIS. WILL GENERALLY GO WITH A BLEND OF
PERSISTENCE AND THE MODELS BUT PERHAPS TREND A LITTLE MORE TOWARD
THE COOLER ECMWF...WHICH WOULD KEEP TEMPERATURES FAIRLY SEASONABLE
THROUGH THE WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA TONIGHT. EXPECT GUSTY SOUTHWEST
WINDS UP TO 25 KTS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING.
THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND SHOULD AFFECT ALL
TAF SITES THIS EVENING. HAVE FORECAST TEMPO MVFR IN THESE
THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY AFTER 22Z...THROUGH 04Z. HOWEVER...CONDITIONS
IN MORE INTENSE STORMS COULD REACH IFR DURING THIS TIME PERIOD.
AFTER 04Z...THE COLD FRONT WILL PUSH FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST
ACROSS THE AREA. WINDS WILL THEN SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST AND AN
MVFR CLOUD DECK WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE TERMINALS. AT THIS TIME IT
APPEARS THE MVFR CLOUD DECK WILL PERSIST ACROSS ALL TERMINALS FROM
LATE TONIGHT THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY SATURDAY.

OUTLOOK...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE SUNDAY INTO TUESDAY.
