Severe Thunderstorm Warning 174, NWS Wilmington, OH

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
102 PM EST WED DEC 24 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS
EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BEGIN TO WORK INTO THE AREA ON
THURSDAY AND REMAIN ACROSS THE REGION FOR FRIDAY. ANOTHER SYSTEM
WILL BRING PRECIPITATION TO THE AREA FOR THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
UPDATED FORECAST IS OUT AND SLOWS THE FRONT/WIND IMPACTS DOWN BY
AN HOUR OR TWO MOST AREAS IN LINE WITH RECENT NAM/RAP/HRRR RUNS.
14Z SURFACE ANALYSIS PLACES ELONGATED SURFACE LOW PRESSURE NORTH
OF SDF AND DEEPENING/DEVELOPING TOWARD RICHMOND INDIANA. THIS LOW
IS MOVING ALONG A STATIONARY FRONT WHICH EXTENDS NWRD TOWARD
TOL/DTW. SFC PRESSURES ARE NOTABLY HIGHER AT THIS HOUR THAN WHAT
WAS PROVIDED VIA GUIDANCE YESTERDAY...WHICH CASTS EVENTUAL DOUBT
ON STRENGTH OF WINDS /MEETING ADVISORY CRITERIA/. PER SHORT RANGE
CONSENSUS...SFC LOW WILL DEEPEN AS IT MOVES/DEVELOPS TO TOLEDO BY
18Z /995MB/ AND DTW BY 21Z /992MB/. THIS QUASI DUE NORTH MOVEMENT
WILL DELAY FRONTAL ARRIVAL BY A FEW HOURS FROM PVS FORECAST BY AN
HOUR OR TWO...NOTHING SIGNIFICANT...BUT DID PUSH BACK ONSET OF
WIND ADVISORY IN THE SOUTH/WEST BY AN HOUR.

WITH DEEPENING FORECAST TO BE AN IN-SITU PROCESS AS THE LOW PASSES
THROUGH OHIO/MICH...ISALLOBARIC COUPLET WILL ALSO BE IN A MATURING
PHASE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. ARCING NW-SE COLD FRONT EXTENDING
SOUTH OF THE TRANSIENT LOW PRESSURE WILL ENTER SERN IND/NRN KY
FIRST AROUND 18Z AND THEN SURGE QUICKLY NORTHEAST ACROSS THE
ENTIRE AREA AND EXIT BY 23Z. AN ORGANIZING BAND OF SHALLOW
CONVECTION /MOST UNLIKELY ABLE TO PRODUCE LIGHTNING GIVEN RECENT
RAP/HRRR FCST SOUNDINGS/ WILL ACCOMPANY THE FRONT...GIVING ALL
AREAS A COUPLE HOURS OF RAIN.

AS NOTED ABOVE...SFC PRESSURES THROUGH MID EVENING ARE NOT AS DEEP
AS PREVIOUS FORECASTS HAD SHOWN...THUS MAGNITUDES OF ASSOCIATED
WIND FIELDS AND ISALLOBARIC COUPLET ARE A NOTCH LOWER THAN
YESTERDAY...AND ADMITTEDLY PUTS THE WIND ADVISORY IN JEOPARDY OF
VERIFYING ESPECIALLY IN NRN KY/SERN IND/FAR SWRN OH. WILL RIDE
WITH IT DUE TO CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL TRANSFERRING SOME STRONGER
GUSTS DOWN TO THE SURFACE...BUT POST-FRONTAL SOUNDINGS
/RAP...HRRR...NAM/ AT CVG/ILN ARE NOT SUGGESTIVE THAT WINDS WILL
REACH 45 MPH. FURTHER NORTH...STILL LOOKS GOOD FOR STRONG WINDS
GIVEN MATURING ISALLOBARIC COUPLET...AND INCREASING GRADIENTS.
LIKE WITH MOST WIND ADVISORY EVENTS...STRONGEST GUSTS ALL AREAS
WILL RESIDE ON LEADING EDGE OF STRONG COLD ADVECTION WHERE
STEEPENING LAPSE RATES AND WORK WITH SUBSIDENCE IMMEDIATELY BEHIND
FRONT TO ALLOW FOR WINDS TO TRANSFER FROM ALOFT.

LASTLY...HRRR HAS BEEN VERY STABLE IN INDICATING THE SHALLOW
CONVECTIVE LINE WILL ATTAIN ITS GREATEST DEPTH/ORGANIZATION AS IT
MOVES INTO EASTERN HALF OF FORECAST AREA /SCIOTO VALLEY AND
CENTRAL OHIO/. IT IS HERE THAT SOME CONVECTIVELY ENHANCED GUSTS TO
SEVERE LEVELS MAY BE SEEN...BUT BUOYANCY ON RAP/HRRR SOUNDINGS IS
EXTREMELY MARGINAL AND TIED RIGHT TO THE FRONT...DESPITE TEMPS
WARMING INTO THE 60S. MAY HAVE AN ISOLATED SVR THREAT IN OUR
EASTERN TWO TIERS OF COUNTIES IN THE 20Z-22Z TIMEFRAME. VERY
NARROW WINDOW IN SPACE/TIME.

COOLED HIGH TEMPS ALL AREAS JUST A COUPLE OF DEGREES GIVEN CURRENT
TEMPS AND TRENDS FROM HRRR/NAM/RAP. BIGGEST PUSH OF WARMTH WILL BE
SCIOTO VALLEY OF OH AND NERN KY WHERE MID 60S POSSIBLE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
ANY RESIDUAL PRECIPITATION WILL TAPER OFF ACROSS THE FA THURSDAY
MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BEGIN TO WORK INTO THE AREA ON
THURSDAY AND ALLOW FOR DRY CONDITIONS ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH
FRIDAY. SOUTHERLY FLOW ON FRIDAY WILL ALLOW FOR ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES. THESE ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE INTO
SATURDAY.

THE NEXT SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO BRING PRECIPITATION CHANCES TO THE
AREA BEGINNING FRIDAY NIGHT AND THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE
SHORT TERM TIME FRAME AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES AND BEGINS TO
MOVE THROUGH THE REGION.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
BY SATURDAY EVENING INTO SUNDAY IRRECONCILABLE DIFFERENCES IN THE
MODEL MASS FIELDS BEGIN TO DEVELOP. GFS PUSHES FRONT THROUGH TO
THE APPALACHIAN RIDGE AND THE EURO AND CANADIAN LINGER THE FRONT
NW OF I-71 CORRIDOR IN NW CWA. THEY ALSO KEEP PRECIP ON THE BACK
SIDE OF THE FRONT WHICH IS IN DIRECT OPPOSITION TO GFS. OTHER
MODELERS SEEM TO JUST BLEND OPPOSING SOLUTIONS TO COME TO MIDDLE
GROUND. THIS METHOD JUST DOES NOT WORK AS A VIABLE WAY TO EVOLVE A
LONGER RANGE FORECAST. TRIED TO WEIGHT THE FORECAST TOWARDS
PREVIOUS FORECAST BUT KNOW THAT THE LONG RANGE WAS IN A SIMILAR
SITUATION YESTERDAY.

FOR AS OFF AS THE SURFACE FIELDS ARE IN THE MODELS...H5 AND LONGWAVE
PATTERN IS IN FAIR AGREEMENT THROUGH AT LEAST SUNDAY NIGHT WITH A
TROUGH IN THE PLAINS AND SW FLOW OVER THE EASTERN SECTION OF THE
COUNTRY. GFS BECOMES MORE ZONAL AND EURO DEEPENS THE TROUGH IN THE
MIDWEST FOR THIS TIME NEXT WEEK.

REGARDLESS OF THE DIFFERENCES...IT IS REASONABLE TO ASSUME THAT HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD WEST OF THE REGION NEXT WEEK AND HELP USHER IN
COLDER AIR FOR THE LATTER PART OF THE FORECAST.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
COLD FRONT CURRENTLY LIES JUST WEST OF DAY/CVG AND WILL PASS
THROUGH THESE TWO SITES IN THE FIRST COUPLE HOURS AFTER TAF
ISSUANCE...AND THEN ACCELERATE EAST ACROSS LUK/ILN THROUGH 20Z AND
THEN CMH/LCK BY 22Z. LGT-MOD SLY FLOW AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL TURN
ABRUPTLY TO THE WEST AS THE FRONT PASSES WITH POTENTIAL FOR STRONG
GUSTS IN ATTENDANT SHOWERS. THREAT FOR STRONG WINDS CONTINUES INTO
EARLY-MIDDLE EVENING HOURS AS COLD AIR AND PRESSURE RISES SWEEP
ACROSS THE TAF SITES...BEFORE WINDS SETTLE DOWN /BUT STILL GUSTY/
LATER IN THE NIGHT AND BACK TO THE SW.

SHOWERS WILL OVERSPREAD THE TERMINALS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.
THREAT FOR THUNDER PROBABLY MOST CONFINED TO LCK/CMH AND POSSIBLY
ILN. SHOULD BE MVFR VISIBILITIES IN THE SHOWERS/FOG AS THE
BOUNDARY LAYER REMAINS MOIST UNTIL THE FRONT PASSES. SHOULD SEE
VSBY IMPROVE AS THE STRONGER WINDS/COLDER TEMPS ARRIVE AND SCOUR
OUT THE FOG.

CIGS WILL SHOULD REMAIN IFR /EXCEPT CENTRAL OHIO -- MVFR/ IN THE MOIST
SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF THE FRONT THIS AFTERNOON...AND WILL REMAIN IFR FOR
A FEW HOURS AFTER FRONTAL PASSAGE AS WELL. EVENTUALLY...DRIER
AIR/COLD ADVECTION WILL LIFT CIGS UP TO MVFR LEVELS LATER THIS
EVENING...ALTHOUGH SPRINKLES/LIGHT SHOWERS MAY CONTINUE. EXPECT
MVFR CIGS TO CONTINUE INTO THURSDAY AS WINDS CONTINUE TO DECREASE.

OUTLOOK...WIND GUSTS UP TO 30 KT INTO THURSDAY MORNING. MVFR
CEILINGS WILL PERSIST INTO THURSDAY AND POSSIBLY INTO THURSDAY
NIGHT. MVFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES POSSIBLE SATURDAY NIGHT AND
SUNDAY.
