AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
134 AM EST MON DEC 24 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
WEAK LOW PRESSURE TRAVELING THROUGH KENTUCKY AND SOUTHEAST OHIO
WILL BRING AN AREA OF PRECIPITATION LATE TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY.
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL RESULT IN DRY WEATHER ON CHRISTMAS DAY. A
VIGOROUS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO DUMP A WINTRY MIX OF
PRECIPITATION OVER THE REGION ON WEDNESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
LOW PRESSURE OVER NW ARKANSAS WILL MOVE NORTHEAST TO WESTERN
KENTUCKY BY MORNING. LATEST NAM...RAP AND HRRR INDICATE THAT THE
BEST WARM...MOIST ASCENT/ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL OCCUR ALONG AND
SOUTH OF THE OHIO RIVER LATE. THIS MOIST FLOW WILL CAUSE LOW LEVEL
CLOUDS TO INCREASE FROM SOUTH TO NORTH OVERNIGHT WITH CLOUDY SKIES
EXPECTED ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE OHIO RIVER BY MORNING. THERE HAS
BEEN A CONCERN ON HOW FAST PRECIPITATION WILL MOVE INTO OUR AREA
VERSUS SURFACE TEMPERATURES BEING AT OR BELOW FREEZING BY THE TIME
IT ARRIVES. IT NOW APPEARS THAT PRECIPITATION SHOULD PRETTY MUCH
ARRIVE FROM SOUTH TO NORTH AS TEMPERATURES AND DEWPOINTS
RISE...AND NOT MUCH IN THE WAY OF FREEZING RAIN IS EXPECTED. HAVE
SHOWN THIS IN THE LATEST GRIDS AND ZONES WHICH IS TO KEEP A DRY
FORECAST PRETTY MUCH ACRS THE WHITEWATER/MIAMI VALLEYS...WEST
CENTRAL OHIO AND CENTRAL OHIO OVERNIGHT. LOWS WILL OCCUR THIS
EVENING AND EARLY MORNING...THEN THEY SHOULD RISE AS CLOUDS
THICKEN AND THE WIND INCREASES SOME FROM THE EAST AHEAD OF THE
SURFACE LOW.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
WITH THE WEAK LOW MOVING TO EASTERN OHIO...RAIN WILL BE LIKELY
MONDAY IN SOUTHERN AND EASTERN COUNTIES...WITH A GOOD CHANCE OF
RAIN IN THE NORTH AND WEST. THE WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY FOR FREEZING
PRECIPITATION SEEMS MINIMAL MONDAY MORNING ALONG AND NORTH OF I-70 AS
TEMPERATURES AND DEWPOINTS RISE AS THE PRECIPITATION ARRIVES.
THERE COULD BE A BRIEF PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN AT THE ONSET BUT IT
SHOULD NOT LAST VERY LONG AND SHOULD HAVE LITTLE IF ANY IMPACT.
A RISE INTO THE 40S IS FORECAST FOR MOST LOCATIONS MONDAY
AFTERNOON.

RAIN WILL BE ENDING MONDAY EVENING WITH THE LOW EXITING TO THE
EAST. A FEW SNOW SHOWERS MAY OCCUR NORTH OF DAYTON BEFORE
PRECIPITATION CHANCES END AROUND MIDNIGHT TUESDAY. AFTER WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE ARRIVES FOR A SHORT STAY...CLOUDS WILL INCREASE AGAIN ON
TUESDAY AHEAD OF THE STRONG LOW. HIGHS AROUND 40 ARE EXPECTED.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
FOCUS IS ON THE WINTER STORM WHICH WILL AFFECT THE REGION AT MID
WEEK. VIGOROUS MID LEVEL S/W TO LIFT FROM THE SRN PLAINS INTO THE
LOWER OH VLY TUESDAY NIGHT AND ACRS THE REGION WEDNESDAY. NUMERICAL
MODEL SOLNS CONTINUE TO SHOW SPREAD REGARDING THE EXACT TRACK OF THE
ASSOCIATED SFC WAVE WHICH LIFTS NE THRU THE REGION ON WEDNESDAY. IN
GENERAL THE GFS DETERMINISTIC SOLNS HAVE BEEN THE FURTHEST WEST AND
THEREFORE BRING MORE WARM AIR INTO ILN/S FA. THE ECMWF SOLN HAS BEEN
MORE CONSISTENT WITH THE LATEST 12Z DETERMINISTIC RUN TRENDING A
LITTLE WEST AND THEREFORE ALLOWING A LTL MORE INTRUSION OF WARM AIR.
GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN SOLN IS PLACED A LTL EAST OF ITS DETERMINISTIC
RUN.

HAVE TRENDED THE LATEST FCST TOWARD THE A SLIGHTLY MODIFIED (WARMER)
SOLN THAN 12Z ECMWF RUN GIVEN TRENDS AND CONSISTENCY.

HAVE SPREAD LKLY POPS IN FROM THE SOUTH TUESDAY NIGHT AND THEN
BUMPED UP POPS TO CATEGORICAL EARLY WEDNESDAY.

USING AT TOP DOWN TECHNIQUE APPLIED TO MODIFIED ECMWF SOLN HAVE FAR
WEST CENTRAL OHIO (NORTHWEST OF DAYTON) STAYING ALL SNOW BUT HAVE A
MIX SPREADING INTO THE REMAINDER OF ILN/S FA AND RAIN SE OF I-71
DURING THE DAY ON WED. AS COLDER AIR WRAPS INTO THE SYSTEM...HAVE
ALL PRECIP CHANGE BACK TO SNOW WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THIS SYSTEM HAS THE
POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE 6 INCHES OR MORE OF SNOW AND SIGNIFICANT ICE.
AT THIS TIME IT LOOKS LIKE A STORM TOTAL 4 TO 6 INCH SNOW BAND IS
PSBL FROM EAST CENTRAL INDIANA THRU FAR W CNTRL OHIO. THERE WILL
LKLY BE A SHARP CUT OFF TO THE SE WITH 1 TO 2 INCHES ALONG AND JUST
WEST OF I-71 AND LESS THAN AN INCH SE OF I-71.

GIVEN THE HIGH DEGREE OF UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE EXACT TRACK...
WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT THIS THREAT IN THE HWO PRODUCT.

AS THIS WINTER STORM LIFTS NE WILL TAPER OFF SNOW EARLY ON THURSDAY.
UPPER LEVEL RIDGING AND SFC RIDGING TO BUILD IN PROVIDING DRY WX
CONDITIONS LATER THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

MODEL SOLN DIFFERENCES REGARDING THE WEATHER SYSTEM NEXT WEEKEND.
PREV GFS WAS KEEPING PCPN TO OUR SOUTH BUT LATEST RUN BRINGS IN
PRECIP BUT IS WEAKER AND ALLOWS FOR LESS WARM AIR. ECMWF SOLNS HAVE
BEEN STRONGER AND ALLOW FOR MORE INITIAL WARM AIR INTRUSION. HAVE
SPREAD CHC POPS IN FRIDAY NIGHT AND THEN CONT HIGH CHC POPS ON
SATURDAY. HAVE ALLOWED FOR A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW OVER THE SE HALF
AND KEPT ALL SNOW NW. SOME LINGERING SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE PSBL ON
SUNDAY WITH THE BEST CHC ACRS THE NORTH.
