Special Weather Statement, NWS Wilmington, OH

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
1211 AM EST FRI FEB 21 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 THIS MORNING/...
SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE OVERSPREAD ALMOST THE
ENTIRE FORECAST AREA. SEVERE THREAT WILL REMAIN WITH THE LINE
ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT. HOWEVER SUSPECT THAT PRE-FRONTAL
PRECIPITATION WILL AFFECT THE ROBUSTNESS OF THIS LINE AS IT HEADS
FURTHER EAST.

THREAT WILL THEN PRIMARILY BE HEAVY RAIN AND FLOODING. THUS FAR
HAVE ONLY BEEN RECEIVING REPORTS OF MINOR FLOODING. HOWEVER
CONCERNED AS THE FRONTAL LINE CONVERGES WITH PRE-FRONTAL ACTIVITY
THAT RAINFALL AMOUNTS COULD INCREASE. IN ADDITION...LATEST GUIDANCE
SUGGESTS THAT PRECIPITATION COULD BE SLOWER TO PUSH EAST ACROSS
THE FORECAST AREA AS PRECIPITATION BECOMES POST-FRONTAL. SO
ALTHOUGH RATES DO NOT APPEAR PARTICULARLY HIGH..A MORE PROLONGED
EVENT COULD PROVE TO BE A GREATER FLOOD THREAT. AND WITH
SATURATED/FROZEN GROUND FLOODING COULD BECOME WIDESPREAD.

FRONT SHOULD STILL CLEAR THE FORECAST AREA BEFORE MORNING. BUT
SLOWER DECREASE IN CLOUDS WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES A BIT WARMER
THAN PREVIOUSLY FORECAST. THERE HAVE BEEN WIND GUSTS AROUND 40 MPH
BEHIND THE FRONT ALTHOUGH EXPECT THESE TO DECREASE SOMEWHAT AS
THE BOUNDARY MAKES IT EAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS 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 /05Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
LINE OF STORMS CURRENTLY PASSING ACROSS KILN AND HEADING TOWARD
KCMH/KLCK WITHIN THE HOUR. GUSTS UP TO 45 KT ARE POSSIBLE WITH THIS
LINE WITH MVFR CIGS AND IFR VSBYS UNDER HEAVY RAIN AS THE LINE
PASSES. CONDITIONS WILL RAPIDLY IMPROVE TO VFR BEHIND THIS LINE.
WINDS WILL TEMPORARILY DECREASE AS WELL YET WILL STILL GUST AROUND
25 KT THROUGH DAYBREAK. INCREASED MIXING AND COLD ADVECTION AFTER
SUNRISE WILL HELP TO INCREASE WINDS THROUGH THE MID
MORNING...GUSTING UP TO 35 KT THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL
BEGIN TO SUBSIDE AROUND SUNSET. HOWEVER...GUSTY WINDS UP TO 25 KTS
WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE THROUGH THE LATE EVENING.

OUTLOOK...NO SIGNIFICANT WEATHER EXPECTED.
