What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Wilmington, OH wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Feb 20, 6:46 PM EST, 3 hours 8 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 20, 6:46 PM EST, 3 hours 8 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
646 PM EST THU FEB 20 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A VIGOROUS COLD FRONT WILL MOVE EAST THROUGH THE REGION TONIGHT.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD SOUTH OF THE AREA FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY.
ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
SHOWERS AND STORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ALONG A STRONG COLD FRONT IN
THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THIS WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE REGION
OVERNIGHT. ALSO EXPECT DEVELOPMENT OUT AHEAD OF THIS LINE
GENERALLY ALONG AN AXIS EXTENDING FROM MEMPHIS TOWARDS THE TRI-
STATE. AT THIS POINT EXPECT MOST ACTIVITY TO HOLD OFF UNTIL AFTER
00Z AND THEN PUSH EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA BY 10Z. STRONGEST OF
THIS ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY BE ON THE LEADING EDGE OF THE
PRECIPITATION TRACKING THROUGH THE AREA BETWEEN 01Z AND 05Z. SHORT
TERM GUIDANCE STILL SUGGESTS THAT PARAMETERS ARE FAVORABLE FOR
STRONG TO DAMAGING WINDS WITH THE CONVECTION MAINLY SOUTH OF I-70
WITH HIGHER PROBABILITY NEAR AND SOUTH OF THE OHIO RIVER.

HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL APPEARS TO BE GREATER IN THE SOUTHERN
COUNTIES WHERE THERE MIGHT BE PRECIPITATION FROM PRE-FRONTAL
CONVECTION AS WELL AS FRONTAL ACTIVITY. SNOW MELT WILL CONTINUE IN
THE NORTHERN COUNTIES AND THIS IN ADDITION TO EVEN LIGHTER
PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS COULD CAUSE FLOOD CONCERNS. SO FLASH FLOOD
WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA.

LATEST GUIDANCE IS NOT AS ROBUST WITH WIND GUSTS ALONG AND
IMMEDIATELY BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. BUT DO NOT WANT TO COMPLETELY
DISCOUNT THIS POSSIBILITY. SO STARTED WIND ADVISORY TONIGHT
ALTHOUGH MORE WIDESPREAD WINDY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TOMORROW.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD SOUTH OF THE REGION TOMORROW INTO
SATURDAY. GRADIENT WILL STILL BE RATHER TIGHT BETWEEN THIS AND
LOW PRESSURE OVER CANADA. SO EXPECT WINDY CONDITIONS WITH A WIND
ADVISORY IN EFFECT THROUGH FRIDAY. COULD BE SOME STRATOCUMULUS
DURING THE DAY BUT THEN SKIES WILL CLEAR FRIDAY NIGHT AS WINDS
DIMINISH.

A COLD FRONT WILL SAG SOUTHEAST TOWARDS THE FORECAST AREA LATE
SATURDAY AND THEN SLIDE THROUGH THE REGION SATURDAY NIGHT. CLOUDS
WILL INCREASE BUT ONLY EXPECT A SLIGHT CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION
WITH THIS BOUNDARY.

TEMPERATURE GUIDANCE IS FAIRLY WELL CLUSTERED AND SAW LITTLE
REASON TO DEVIATE FAR FROM A MOS CONSENSUS.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
MODELS CONTINUE TO FLUCTUATE ON WHETHER OR NOT THERE WILL BE
PRECIPITATION WITH A WEAK DISTURBANCE ON SUNDAY.  DUE TO MODEL AND
RUN TO RUN VARIABILITY HAVE DECIDED TO LIMIT PRECIPITATION CHANCES
TO A CHANCE WITH THE BEST CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION ACROSS NORTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE FA.  PRECIPITATION WILL MOVE OUT OF THE REGION BY
SUNDAY EVENING.  HIGH PRESSURE WILL WORK INTO THE FA FOR MONDAY.

ANOTHER DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION MONDAY NIGHT INTO
TUESDAY.  MODELS ARE IN BETTER AGREEMENT WITH THIS SYSTEM.  THE
BETTER CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION WITH THIS SYSTEM IS ACROSS THE
NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FA AS WELL.  TEMPERATURES WILL BE COLD
ENOUGH WITH THIS SYSTEM THAT PRECIPITATION WILL BE IN THE FORM OF
SNOW.  THIS SYSTEM WILL USHER IN COLDER AIR TO THE REGION.  HIGH
PRESSURE WILL THEN MOVE INTO THE REGION BY TUESDAY NIGHT.  HIGH
PRESSURE AND COOLER AIR WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE FA FOR THE REMAINDER
OF THE LONG TERM.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
SHOWERS AHEAD OF MAIN BAND OF CONVECTION WILL AFFECT THE
SOUTHWESTERN TERMINALS THROUGH 02Z. THE FAST MOVING BAND OF
CONVECTION ALONG AND AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT WILL SPREAD SOUTHWEST
TO NORTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA BETWEEN 02Z AND 06Z. IFR VSBYS AND
MVFR CIGS WILL BE POSSIBLE AS THE BAND OF CONVECTION MOVES ACROSS
THE AREA. VERY GUSTY WINDS UP TO 45 KT WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE.
AFTER THE FRONT PASSES...PRECIPITATION WILL END. HOWEVER...WINDS
ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN GUSTY...UP TO 30 KTS...FOR THE REMAINDER OF
THE OVERNIGHT TIME PERIOD. CIGS MAY BRIEFLY GO BACK TO VFR BEHIND
THE LINE OF PRECIPITATION...AND WILL THEN RETURN TO MVFR THROUGH
MUCH OF THE MORNING. BY MID MORNING...COLD ADVECTION AND MIXING
WITH DAYTIME SUN WILL BRING A FURTHER INCREASE IN WIND GUSTS UP TO
35 KT. CIGS WILL GRADUALLY IMPROVE TO VFR DURING THE AFTERNOON AS
CLOUDS EXIT THE AREA AND DRIER AIR MOVES INTO THE REGION. BY THE
EVENING...WIND GUSTS WILL BE ON THE DECREASE.

OUTLOOK...NO SIGNIFICANT WEATHER EXPECTED.
