Severe Thunderstorm Warning 117, NWS Wilmington, OH

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
127 PM EDT TUE JUN 30 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
A SURFACE LOW WILL TRACK TO THE LOWER GREAT LAKES FROM THE WESTERN
GREAT LAKES REGION TODAY. AT THE SAME TIME...THE AXIS OF AN UPPER
LOW WILL SLIDE EAST THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES AND OHIO VALLEY THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WEAK SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN
SETTLE OVER THE REGION WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY...WITH A LOW
CUTTING EAST THROUGH THE SOUTHERN OHIO AND TENNESSEE VALLEYS ON
THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
MORNING UPDATE GENERALLY ATTEMPTED TO TIME THE SHOWERS IN CENTRAL
OHIO OUT OF THE CWA AND TO NOSE THE AREA OF SHOWERS IN WEST
CENTRAL OHIO INTO THE CWA. UPSTREAM CONVECTIVE COMPLEX HAS LOST
THE DEEP CONVECTION AND SUBSEQUENT ELECTRICAL ACTIVITY BUT HAS
SPARKED SHOWERS OVER A BROADER AREA TO THE WEST OF I-75 AND N OF
I-70. THESE SHOWERS LOOK TO BE TRACKING JUST SOUTH OF EAST AND
MODELS ARE SLOW IN THE INITIATION OF STORMS TODAY BUT INDICATE A
RAPID EXPANSION ACROSS THE REGION AS SUN HELPS DESTABILIZE THE
BOUNDARY LAYER. BLENDED THE EARLIER ONSET OF SHOWERS TO THE
CURRENT FORECAST WHICH IS STILL ON TRACK. PREV DISC BELOW...

THE FORECAST FOCUS GOING INTO THE AFTERNOON WILL BE ON THE
POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. POPS WERE LARGELY BASED ON
SPC-WRF AND NCAR ENSEMBLE SIMULATED REFLECTIVITY
PROJECTIONS...SPREADING LIKELY POPS ACROSS THE CWA FROM NORTHWEST
TO SOUTHEAST BETWEEN 18Z AND 00Z. THIS REGION WILL BE AHEAD OF THE
UPPER TROUGH AXIS...IN A FAVORABLE AREA OF LIFT. ALTHOUGH THE
SURFACE PRESSURE PATTERN IS KIND OF A MESS...THERE DOES SEEM TO BE
A WEAK BOUNDARY MOVING SOUTHEAST INTO THE ILN FORECAST AREA...WITH
CONVERGENT FLOW ALSO HELPING TO PROVIDE FORCING FOR STORM
DEVELOPMENT. WITH COOLER AIR MOVING IN ALOFT...THANKS TO THE UPPER
TROUGH...MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL BE STEEPING SLIGHTLY. EVEN
THOUGH NEAR-SURFACE CONDITIONS WILL NOT BE ESPECIALLY MOIST OR
WARM...INSTABILITY SHOULD BE ABLE TO BUILD FAIRLY WELL...UP TO
AROUND 1500 J/KG OF SBCAPE. LOOKING UPSTREAM EARLY THIS
MORNING...SOME THUNDERSTORM CELLS MOVING INTO INDIANA ARE AN
INDICATION OF ELEVATED INSTABILITY...WHICH FURTHER SUGGESTS THAT
DIURNAL HEATING WILL BE ABLE TO GENERATE SOME ENERGY OUT OF THIS
AIRMASS. WIND SHEAR IS FORECAST TO BE MARGINAL...PRIMARILY
UNIDIRECTIONAL FROM THE WEST...AND PERHAPS AROUND 15-25 KNOTS
THROUGH A 6KM LAYER. THUS...THE INGREDIENTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN
PLACE FOR A LOW-END SEVERE EVENT ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. TIMING
SHOULD BE MAINLY DIURNAL...WITH A THREAT FOR WIND AND HAIL.
HOWEVER...THE EXPECTED INSTABILITY AND SHEAR ARE SIMPLY NOT
EXPECTED TO BE APPRECIABLE ENOUGH FOR A SIGNIFICANT OR WIDESPREAD
EVENT. SINCE THE OVERALL FOCUS IS NOT PARTICULARLY
WELL-DEFINED...AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS WILL BE SIMILAR ACROSS
THE REGION...CHANCES FOR STRONG STORMS DO NOT APPEAR SIGNIFICANTLY
DIFFERENT FROM ONE SECTION OF THE CWA TO ANOTHER. HOWEVER...IF
RECENT HRRR RUNS ARE CORRECT (AND STORMS MOVE THROUGH A LITTLE
FASTER THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST)...THE CHANCES FOR STRONGER STORMS
MAY SHIFT SLIGHTLY SOUTH AND EAST.

CLOUDS SHOULD BREAK ENOUGH TO ALLOW SOME INSOLATION FOR MOST
LOCATIONS IN THE CWA TODAY...THOUGH CENTRAL OHIO MAY STAY IN THE
CLOUDS A LITTLE LONGER THAN ELSEWHERE. THUS...A NNE-TO-SSW
TEMPERATURE GRADIENT WAS EMPLOYED IN THE GRIDS...WITH MID TO UPPER
70S IN THE NORTHERN/NORTHEASTERN CWA...AND LOWER 80S IN THE FAR
SOUTH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
WITH THE AXIS OF THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH CROSSING THE MIDDLE OHIO
VALLEY ON FRIDAY EVENING...FAVORABLE CONDITIONS FOR ASCENT WILL
QUICKLY COME TO AN END...AND PRECIPITATION SHOULD DIMINISH FROM
NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. UPPER FLOW WILL
REMAIN GENERALLY NORTHWESTERLY OVER THE REGION THROUGH THE REST OF
THE WEEK...AND THOUGH THERE IS GENERAL AGREEMENT IN THE
ARRANGEMENT OF THE SURFACE PATTERN THROUGH FRIDAY...THE EXACT
LATITUDINAL ALIGNMENT WILL HAVE A BIG ROLE IN THUNDERSTORM
CHANCES (ESPECIALLY ON THURSDAY).

DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TONIGHT AND THROUGH THE DAY ON
WEDNESDAY...AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO BUILD IN OVER THE
GREAT LAKES REGION. 925MB/850MB TEMPERATURES WILL COOL BY ONE OR
TWO DEGREES CELSIUS FROM TUESDAY TO WEDNESDAY...BUT WITH CLOUD
COVER EXPECTED TO BE FAIRLY LIMITED...TEMPERATURES SHOULD STILL
RISE TO SIMILAR VALUES AS ON TUESDAY. WITH FORECAST HIGHS IN THE
MIDDLE 70S TO AROUND 80...CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN ABOUT FIVE
DEGREES BELOW CLIMATOLOGICAL NORMALS.

AS THE GREAT LAKES SURFACE HIGH GROWS IN SIZE HEADED INTO
THURSDAY...ITS EVENTUAL MOVEMENT WILL DETERMINE HOW FAR SOUTH A
FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND CONVERGENT ZONE WILL SET UP FROM WEDNESDAY
NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. THIS WILL BE AN IMPORTANT QUESTION...AS
MODELS HAVE CONSISTENTLY SHOWN THAT CONVECTION WILL BE LIKELY
ALONG THIS BOUNDARY...PERHAPS WITH ONE OR MORE CONVECTIVE SYSTEMS
MOVING IN THE QUICK WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT. IN GENERAL...THE LAST 12
HOURS OF MODEL RUNS HAVE FAVORED A SLIGHT SHIFT TO A SOUTHWARD
SOLUTION...SETTLING STORMS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE OHIO
VALLEY. SOME CHANGES WERE NECESSARY TO THE POP GRIDS THROUGH THIS
TIME FRAME...SIGNIFICANTLY LIMITING CONVECTIVE CHANCES IN THE
NORTHERN HALF OF THE CWA...WHILE STILL ALLOWING A CHANCE FOR
CONVECTION (ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTHERN HALF) ON THURSDAY.

WITH THIS BOUNDARY SETTING UP SOUTH OF THE CWA...TEMPERATURES
SHOULD REMAIN SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
MID/UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE EASTERN UNITED
STATES INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE WEST COAST RIDGE AXIS SHIFTS
VERY SLOWLY EASTWARD. THERE ARE SOME MODEL DISCREPANCIES WITH THE
NORTHWARD EXTENT OF THE SHORT WAVE ENERGY MOVING THROUGH THE
TROUGH ON THURSDAY. AS A RESULT...HAVE STUCK CLOSE TO THE MODEL
BLEND/CURRENT FORECAST WITH THIS...RANGING POPS FROM LOW CHANCE
NORTH TO LIKELY IN THE FAR SOUTH. ON THE BACK SIDE OF THIS SHORT
WAVE...WE SHOULD GET INTO A PCPN MINIMUM FOR THURSDAY NIGHT INTO
FRIDAY MORNING.

HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK...IT BECOMES MORE
DIFFICULT TO TIME/PLACE SHORT WAVE ENERGY IN THE TROUGHY PATTERN.
WILL THEREFORE MAINTAIN SOME LOWER CHANCE POPS THROUGH THE REMAINDER
OF THE LONG TERM PERIOD. WITH THE TROUGH IN PLACE ACROSS THE
REGION...TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN AT OR SLIGHTLY BELOW SEASONABLE
NORMALS. EXPECT AFTERNOON HIGHS IN THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S.

&&

.AVIATION /17Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
CONVECTION IS FIRING ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE UPPER TROUGH AND IS
EXPECTED TO DECREASE WITH THE END OF DAYTIME HEATING. BKN VFR TO
OCCASIONALLY MVFR CLOUDS WILL SCATTER OUT THIS EVENING WITH FOG
DEVELPING TOWARDS DAYBREAK ALONG WITH SOME LIFR CIGS AT KCVG/KLUK
AND POSSIBLY KILN.

SKIES SHOULD LIFT AND SCATTER TOMORROW MORNING IN A LESS FAVORABLE
AIRMASS FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT.

OUTLOOK...THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY AND
AGAIN FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY.
