AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
200 PM EDT TUE MAY 1 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A WARM FRONT WILL MOVE NORTHEAST THROUGH THE REGION TODAY...BRINGING
A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. PRECIPITATION WILL CONTINUE
TO BE POSSIBLE THROUGH WEDNESDAY...BEFORE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN ON
THURSDAY AND PROVIDES VERY WARM TEMPERATURES WITH DRY CONDITIONS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
WARM FRONT IS LIFTING INTO THE AREA WITH TEMPERATURES RISING INTO
THE LOWER TO MID 70S AND DEW POINTS GETTING INTO THE LOWER TO MID
60S. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THIS BOUNDARY ARE LIFTING
NORTHEAST ACROSS PRIMARILY THE WESTERN ZONES. HOWEVER CANNOT RULE
DEVELOPMENT FURTHER EAST ALONG THE BOUNDARY AS IT CONTINUES ITS
NORTHWARD PROGRESSION.

MCV IN ILLINOIS CONTINUES TO TRACK EAST NORTHEAST. DRY SLOT
WRAPPING AROUND THE SOUTHERN END OF THIS FEATURE LIKELY INDICATES A
SMALL JET THAT WILL PUNCH INTO THE REGION. THIS SHOULD HELP
DEVELOP ANOTHER LINE OF CONVECTION THAT WILL PUSH INTO THE AREA
LATE THIS AFTERNOON. THESE STORMS SHOULD BE ABLE TO TAP BETTER
INSTABILITY. COMBINED WITH REASONABLE DEEP LAYER SHEAR THERE COULD
BE SOME ORGANIZED STORMS WITH THE POTENTIAL OF LARGE HAIL AND
DAMAGING WINDS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
EXPECT STORMS TO BE ONGOING AT THE ONSET OF THE PERIOD WITH SEVERE
WEATHER POTENTIAL INTO THE EARLY EVENING. BASED ON HIGH RESOLUTION
MODELS IT STILL SEEMS THAT STORMS WILL MOVE OFF TO THE EAST. BUT
THERE COULD BE ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO INDICATE THAT CENTRAL OHIO HAS A SOMEWHAT
BETTER CHANCE OF GETTING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BEYOND EXPECTED
EVENING CONVECTION.

WILL KEEP POPS RATHER LIMITED ON WEDNESDAY...BEFORE GOING DRY BY
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON IN THE SOUTHWEST AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT
ELSEWHERE. BY THIS POINT...MOST OF THE MODELS ARE DEPICTING
FORCING WELL NORTH OF THE CWA AS THE WARM SECTOR ESTABLISHES
ITSELF OVER THE OHIO VALLEY. ANOTHER WRENCH IN THE SOLUTION
INVOLVES THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME OF THE ACTIVITY OVER MICHIGAN
TURNING SOUTH AND PUNCHING THROUGH THE RIDGE INTO CENTRAL OHIO ON
WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THOUGH IT IS NOT AN IMPOSSIBILITY...IT SEEMS LIKE
AN UNLIKELY SOLUTION...AND A DRY FORECAST WILL BE MAINTAINED.

AFTER A FULL DAY IN THE WARM SECTOR ON THURSDAY...FLATTENING
HEIGHTS WILL ALLOW FOR A RETURN OF PRECIPITATION CHANCES BY
FRIDAY. THIS HAS BEEN SLOWED DOWN SLIGHTLY FOR THIS FORECAST
PACKAGE...FOCUSING MAINLY ON FRIDAY NIGHT.

TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE WEEK WILL BE VERY WARM...POSSIBLY TO NEAR
RECORD VALUES. THE WARMEST DAY OF THE WEEK FOR THE WHOLE AREA
APPEARS TO BE THURSDAY...WITH LITTLE TO NO CHANCE OF
PRECIPITATION...PLENTY OF SUNSHINE...AND SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW IN A
WELL MIXED BOUNDARY LAYER. WITH A SLIGHT SLOW DOWN IN TIMING FOR
THE NEXT WEATHER SYSTEM ON FRIDAY...SIMILAR CONDITIONS ARE NOW
ALSO EXPECTED TO PERSIST FOR THE SOUTHEASTERN FORECAST AREA ON
FRIDAY. ALTHOUGH THIS FORECAST PACKAGE WILL NOT TAKE THE LEAP...A
90 DEGREE READING IN THE FAR SOUTH ON THURSDAY OR FRIDAY SEEMS
LIKE A LEGITIMATE POSSIBILITY.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
WILL ALLOW FOR A FRONT TO PUSH DOWN INTO THE AREA THROUGH THE END
OF THE WEEK...BUT BASED ON THE LATEST ECMWF...NOT SURE HOW FAR IT
WILL ACTUALLY GET. WILL THEREFORE LINGER AT LEAST LOW POPS ALL THE
WAY INTO SUNDAY. THE 30.12Z GFS IS BRINGING CONSIDERABLY COOLER
TEMPERATURES BEHIND THE FRONT THIS WEEKEND BUT AGAIN...THE ECMWF
IS TRENDING SLOWER/WARMER. WILL GO AHEAD AND TAKE A BLEND OF THE
TWO WITH MORE OF AN EMPHASIS TOWARD THE WARMER ECMWF THROUGH EARLY
NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
BAND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIFT NORTHEAST ACROSS THE
REGION AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD. THESE HAVE ALREADY PASSED
THE CINCINNATI TERMINALS. KDAY SHOULD BE IMPACTED WITH A
REASONABLE CHANCE AT KILN AND INTO COLUMBUS. APPEARS THAT IMPACTS
WILL BE LIMITED IN TIME AND REDUCTION IN FLIGHT CATEGORY.

HOWEVER GUIDANCE IS SUGGESTING THAT ADDITIONAL STORMS WILL DEVELOP
TO THE WEST AND SWEEP ACROSS THE TERMINALS BETWEEN 21Z AND 01Z.
THESE STORMS COULD BE STRONGER ALTHOUGH UNCERTAINTY PRECLUDES
LOWERING CONDITIONS TOO MUCH. AFTER THAT ROUND OF CONVECTION THERE
IS CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY WHETHER THERE WILL BE ANY MORE
PRECIPITATION OVERNIGHT. SO HAVE JUST KEPT CONDITIONS VFR UNTIL
APPROACHING 12Z WHEN SOME MIST MIGHT REDUCE VISIBILITIES AT MOST
LOCATIONS.

SCATTERED CUMULUS WILL OCCUR LATE IN THE PERIOD WITH SOUTH
SOUTHWEST WINDS INCREASING WITH SOME GUSTS.

OUTLOOK...THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE FRIDAY INTO SUNDAY.
