What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this flash flood 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 flash flood warning went out at Jul 12, 8:02 PM EDT, 1 hour earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 12, 8:02 PM EDT, 1 hour before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
802 PM EDT SUN JUL 12 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN DRAPED ACROSS THE LOWER OHIO
VALLEY AS A SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE ENTER FROM THE
NORTHWEST. THE ATMOSPHERE WILL BE PRIMED FOR THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY
AND THE UPPER DISTURBANCES WILL BE THE PRIMARY FIRING MECHANISM
FOR THEM THROUGH TUESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD NORTH OF THE
REGION ON WEDNESDAY AND COULD BRING A RELATIVELY DRY STRETCH OF
WEATHER FOR THE END OF THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
UPDATED TO REMOVE SHOWERS IN THE NORTHWEST WHERE VIS SAT IMAGERY
CLEARLY SHOWS THAT NO SHOWERS OUTSIDE OF A POTENTIAL NW-SE BAND
OVER CINCY AND ANOTHER OVER OWENTON WILL SEE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
THIS AFTERNOON. EVEN THESE APPEAR TO BE A PASSING SHOWER FOR THE
REST OF THE EVENING AND THE SEVERE THREAT HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM
THE HWO. RAISED OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE NORTHEAST AND DROPPED THEM A
DEGREE OR SO IN THE SOUTHWEST.

DID NOT GO WITH A FLASH FLOOD WATCH OVERNIGHT OR INTO MONDAY AS
THE SYNOPTIC MODELS DID NOT HAVE ANY QPF OVER CWA THROUGH 12Z.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
CONTINUING THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH DISCUSSION WITH NO RAIN EXPECTED
OVERNIGHT...THE NAM IS SHOWING A HIT-AND-MISS PATTERN IN QPF
FIELDS WHICH GIVES ME PAUSE TO PUSH A WATCH INTO MONDAY THOUGH
THIS DOES NOT DISPEL THE POSSIBILITY THAT ONE WILL EVENTUALLY BE
NEEDED. PWAT VALUES OVER 1.75" WILL MEAN THAT ANY SHOWERS/STORMS
THAT DO DEVELOP WILL BE VERY EFFICIENT RAINERS AND THERE WILL BE
AN INCREASED POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING.

STORMS WILL BE FIRING ALONG THE MID LEVEL SHORTWAVES AND VORTICITY
MAXIMA WHICH WILL BE BETTER PLACED IN THE CONVECTION-ALLOWING
MODELS THAT GO OUT ABOUT 12-24 HOURS. IF A DEFINITIVE SHORTWAVE
WERE IN THE SYNOPTIC MODELS I BELIEVE THAT A FLASH FLOOD WATCH
WOULD BE IN ORDER BUT THAT JUST IS NOT THE CASE ATTM. INDIVIDUAL
CELLS THAT DEVELOP TOMORROW MAY ALSO OCCUR IN A FAVORABLE WIND
PROFILE FOR THEM TO GET A BIT OF SPIN. THIS WOULD INCREASE THE
THREAT FOR DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL...AND BE A NON-ZERO TORNADIC
THREAT.

DEWPOINTS IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOW 70S WILL PROVIDE FOR ANOTHER TWO
NIGHTS OF MUGGY CONDITIONS...AND HIGHS ON MONDAY WILL BE SOMEWHAT
MUTED BY PRECIPITATION...ONLY REACHING THE LOW TO MID 80S.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
LINGERING POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS ON TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY WITH
LINGERING BOUNDARY JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THE REGION. AS THE LOW PULLS
EAST OF THE REGION...RIDGING CENTERED OVER SOUTHERN PLAINS WILL KEEP
ANY CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY MAINLY FOCUSED OVER THE NORTHERN FORECAST
AREA...THOUGH POP UP THUNDERSTORMS CANT BE RULED OUT. THE RIDGING
WILL ALSO ALLOW ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES TO PUSH INTO THE REGION
FOR THE END OF THE PERIOD.

HAVE GENERALLY STAYED ON THE LOWER SIDE OF TEMPERATURE GUIDANCE IN
THE FIRST PART OF THE EXTENDED WITH THE MORE ZONAL PATTERN AND
ANTICIPATED CLOUD COVER...WITH HIGHER SIDE OF GUIDANCE TOWARD WEEKS
END WITH THE STRONG RIDGING.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
STORMS WILL MOVE THROUGH CENTRAL OHIO EARLY IN THE TAF PERIOD AND
CLOUDS SHOULD PERSIST THERE OVERNIGHT ALTHOUGH IT APPEARS THAT
CEILINGS WILL LOWER TO MVFR AFTER 06Z. KDAY WILL BE ON THE EDGE OF
THE CLOUD SHIELD WHILE OTHER SITES WILL SCATTER OR CLEAR EARLY IN
THE TAF PERIOD. WHERE CLOUDS DIMINISH THERE WILL BE SUFFICIENT LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE FOR FOG/MIST TO DEVELOP. APPEARS THAT THIS WILL
RESULT IN AT LEAST TEMPORARY IFR CONDITIONS. IN ADDITION AN MVFR
CEILING MAY ALSO END UP FORMING. VISIBILITIES AND CEILINGS WILL
IMPROVE AFTER 12Z. CONDITIONS APPEAR FAVORABLE FOR STRONG
THUNDERSTORMS TO AFFECT THE TERMINALS ON MONDAY WITH THE EXCEPTION
OF THE COLUMBUS AREA WHICH MAY REMAIN NORTH AND EAST OF THE
STORMS. THERE IS TIMING UNCERTAINTY WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR STORMS
TO AFFECT THE TAF SITES SEVERAL HOURS EARLIER THAN CURRENTLY
REFLECTED IN THE TAFS.

OUTLOOK...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE AT TIMES INTO
TUESDAY NIGHT.
