AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
139 PM EDT MON JUN 16 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
HOT AND HUMID AIR WILL REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH MUCH OF THE WORK
WEEK. A WEAKENING FRONT WILL BRING SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS TO
THE REGION TODAY INTO THIS EVENING. STORMS WILL REMAIN NORTH OF
THE REGION TUESDAY AS THE FRONT LIFTS INTO THE GREAT LAKES.
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL RETURN FOR WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY AS ANOTHER FRONT PUSHES INTO THE REGION.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
CONVECTION MAINLY WEST OF OUR AREA WILL GRADUALLY SPREAD EASTWARD TODAY
AHEAD OF A WEAK COLD FRONT. RAMPED UP POPS TO LIKELY ACROSS
PORTIONS OF THE MIAMI VALLEY WITH A EASTWARD MOVING CLUSTER OF
THUNDERSTORMS NEAR INDIANAPOLIS THAT IS EXPECTED TO HOLD TOGETHER
THROUGH THE LATE MORNING. ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG THIS AREA OF CONVERGENCE THROUGH THE
DAY.

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
MAIN S/W TO TRACK WELL TO OUR NORTH THRU SRN CANADA WITH NRN PORTION
OF MID LEVEL RIDGE FLATTENING OUT AS VORT PIVOTS THRU OHIO.
ASSOCIATED SFC COLD FRONT TO APPROACH FROM THE WEST AND LOSE ITS
IDENTITY. MARGINAL ELEVATED INSTBY WHICH DEVELOPS INTO WEST CENTRAL
OHIO EARLY THIS MORNING ALONG WITH AN AXIS OF WEAK LOW LEVEL
CONVERGENCE MAY SUPPORT ISOLD/SCTD CONVECTION EARLY. MESOSCALE MODEL
SOLNS SHOW WEAKENING CONVECTION MOVING INTO WEST CENTRAL OHIO AND
FALLING APART. WILL LIMIT POPS TO VERY LOW CHANCE ACRS THE NW EARLY.

EXPECT SOME CONVECTIVE RE-DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTN IN THE MODERATELY
UNSTBL AIRMASS. BEST CHANCE LOOKS TO OCCUR ACRS CENTRAL OHIO WHERE
REMNANT OF THE BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO LAYS OUT E-W. IN THE WARM
AIRMASS HIGHS WILL RANGE FROM THE MID 80S NORTH TO THE UPPER 80S
SOUTH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
MID UPR LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE SE U.S. WITH BAND OF WESTERLIES THRU THE
GREAT LAKES. WEAKENING BOUNDARY ACRS CENTRAL OH TO LAY OUT E-W AND
LOSE ITS IDENTITY. CONVECTION WHICH FIRED UP IN AFTN HEATING WILL
BE ONGOING AT EARLY EVENING. LACK OF UPPER SUPPORT AND DIMINISHING
INSTBY SHUD ALLOW ONGOING CONVECTION TO WEAKEN AND DISSIPATE
QUICKLY THIS EVENING. IN WARM AIRMASS TONIGHTS LOW TEMPERATURES
EXPECTED TO BE IN THE MID/UPR 60S.

MID LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE SE U.S. TO BUILD A LTL NORTH INTO THE OHIO
VALLEY ON TUESDAY WITH A VORT EXPECTED TO TRAVEL AROUND ITS
PERIPHERY. NUMERICAL MODEL SOLNS HAVE TRENDED FURTHER NORTH WITH
THIS FEATURE. ALTHOUGH AN ISOLD STORM IS PSBL IN HEATING OF THE
DAY...WITH LACK OF UPR SUPPORT AND WITH MID LEVEL RIDGE BUILDING
IN WILL MAINTAIN A DRY FCST. TEMPERATURES WILL BE WARM TUESDAY
WITH 8H TEMPS WARMING TO BETWEEN 19C AND 20 DEG C. HIGHS WILL
BE AROUND 90 INTO THE LOWER 90S.

ANY ISOLD DIURNALLY DRIVEN STORMS WUD DISSIPATE QUICKLY TUE EVENING.
IN HUMID AIRMASS TUESDAY NIGHTS LOWS WILL BE BETWEEN UPPER 60S TO
LOWER 70S.

NUMERICAL MODELS SHOWING A S/WV ROUNDING THE MID/UPR LEVEL RIDGE
WHICH SHUD OFFER A CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY ACROSS THE
NORTH WED AFTN. HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE WITH HIGHS ON
WED IN THE UPPER 80S NORTH TO LOWER 90S SOUTH.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
UPPER RIDGE WILL SAG SOUTH THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK. THIS
WILL ALLOW WEAK UPPER DISTURBANCES TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA. IN
ADDITION...A BACK DOOR COLD FRONT WILL SAG TOWARDS THE REGION.
THIS COMBINATION WILL RESULT IN A CONVECTIVELY ACTIVE PERIOD WITH
CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.
TIMING OF WHEN THE BETTER CHANCE IS UNCERTAIN AT BEST. A STRONGER
UPPER TROUGH IS FORECAST TO MOVE INTO THE GREAT LAKES ON SUNDAY
WHICH WILL PUSH A COLD FRONT TOWARDS THE AREA. SO THE CHANCE OF
STORMS WILL CONTINUE AT THAT TIME. TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOVE
NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH HIGHS TRENDING SLIGHTLY COOLER WITH
TIME BUT LOWS REMAINING QUITE MILD IN A HUMID AIR MASS.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
