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 Apr 8, 6:51 AM EDT, 2 hours 43 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 8, 6:51 AM EDT, 2 hours 43 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
651 AM EDT WED APR 8 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY NEAR THE AREA WILL KEEP CHANCES FOR SHOWERS IN
AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING. AFTER A
COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING HIGH PRESSURE WILL WORK
INTO THE REGION FOR THE START OF THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
AREAS OF FOG AND PATCHY DENSE FOG HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS A LARGE
PORTION OF THE FA THIS MORNING. EXPECT THE FOG TO LINGER LONGER
ACROSS NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FA NEAR AND NORTH OF A FRONTAL
BOUNDARY. AS THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY PUSHES NORTH AND ADDITIONAL
CLOUDS MOVE INTO THE AREA...GRADUALLY EXPECT VISIBILITIES TO IMPROVE
ACROSS THE FA.

A FEW SHOWERS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FA
NORTH OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED FURTHER WEST ACROSS ILLINOIS. EXPECT
THESE THUNDERSTORMS TO WORK INTO THE FA BY MID TO LATE MORNING.
INCREASED PRECIPITATION CHANCES TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS. EXPECT THE
GREATEST COVERAGE IN THUNDERSTORMS ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE OHIO
RIVER. DUE TO THIS THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL
ACROSS PRIMARILY SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FA. IN ADDITION...THERE
IS ALSO THE POTENTIAL THAT SOME OF THE STORMS COULD BECOME SEVERE
TODAY ACROSS THE FA WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL BEING THE
PRIMARILY THREATS.

WITH SOUTHERLY FLOW ACROSS THE FA TODAY EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO
CLIMB INTO THE 70S ACROSS THE REGION.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
EXPECT A LULL OR A DECREASE IN THE PRECIPITATION COVERAGE BRIEFLY
AT THE START OF THE SHORT TERM. ANOTHER DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE
THROUGH TONIGHT HOWEVER BRINGING A RETURN OF PRECIPITATION TO THE
REGION. YET ANOTHER WAVE BRINGS ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO THE FA ON THURSDAY. SOME OF THE THUNDERSTORMS ON
THURSDAY MAY BE SEVERE WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL THE
PRIMARY THREATS. A COLD FRONT APPROACHES THURSDAY EVENING AND
MOVES THROUGH THE REGION THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING. AS
THIS STRONG COLD FRONT WORKS THROUGH THE REGION THERE IS THE
POTENTIAL FOR A DAMAGING WIND THREAT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN WORK
INTO THE FA DURING THE DAY ON FRIDAY. COOLER AND DRIER AIR WILL
WORK INTO THE AREA FOR THE START OF THE WEEKEND.

NOT EXPECTING TEMPERATURES TO DROP MUCH WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH LOW
TEMPERATURES IN THE MIDDLE 50S TO THE LOW 60S. DECENT SOUTHERLY
FLOW ON THURSDAY WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO RISE INTO THE 70S TO
AROUND 80. WIND GUSTS WILL REACH UP AROUND 35 MPH AT TIMES ON
THURSDAY. ADDITIONAL WIND GUSTS ARE EXPECTED EARLY FRIDAY MORNING
AS THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH AND THE WINDS PICK UP.

CLOUD COVER IS EXPECTED TO DECREASE FRIDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL ALLOW
TEMPERATURES TO DROP OFF FRIDAY NIGHT. WITH THE DECREASE IN CLOUDS
AND THE COOLER AIR MASS WORKING INTO THE REGION ON FRIDAY TEMPERATURES
WILL DROP DOWN INTO THE 30S ACROSS A LARGE PORTION OF THE FA
FRIDAY NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE AND A DRIER AIRMASS WILL BUILD INTO THE
AREA SATURDAY BEFORE SLIDING OFF TO THE EAST THROUGH THE DAY ON
SUNDAY. HIGHS ON SATURDAY WILL BE NEAR OR SLIGHTLY BELOW
NORMAL...RANGING FROM THE MID/UPPER 50S NORTH TO LOW 60S SOUTH. AS
WE START TO GET INTO SOME RETURN FLOW...HIGHS ON SUNDAY WILL PUSH
UP INTO THE 60S ACROSS THE ENTIRE FA. LOWS SATURDAY NIGHT WILL
BE DEPENDENT ON HOW FAST THE HIGH BUILDS IN AND THEN PUSHES OFF TO
THE EAST. WE MAY END UP WITH THE BEST RADIATIONAL COOLING ACROSS
OUR WEST SATURDAY MORNING AND THEN OUR EAST FOR SATURDAY
NIGHT/SUNDAY MORNING. WILL GENERALLY KEEP LOWS IN THE UPPER 30S TO
LOWER 40S...BUT SOME COLDER READINGS WILL BE POSSIBLE IF OPTIMAL
RADIATIONAL COOLING DEVELOPS.

IN DEVELOPING WAA...EXPECT SCATTERED SHOWERS AND PERHAPS A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP SUNDAY NIGHT. PCPN SHOULD THEN BECOME
MORE WIDESPREAD MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT AS SHORTWAVE ENERGY PUSHES
EAST TOWARD THE REGION. EXPECT HIGHS ON MONDAY IN THE UPPER 60S TO
LOWERS 70S. AS THE SHORT WAVE PUSHES OFF TO THE EAST...PCPN SHOULD
TAPER OFF THROUGH THE DAY ON TUESDAY WITH HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE
60S.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
FRONT NEAR KDAY TO KCMH SHOULD LIFT NORTH OF THOSE SITES VERY NEAR
THE BEGINNING OF THE TAF PERIOD WHICH WILL TAKE LIFR CONDITIONS
WITH IT. OTHERWISE VFR TO START. BUT STORMS IN ILLINOIS ARE
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE EAST AND AFFECT ALL TERMINALS IN THE EARLY
PART OF THE PERIOD. IT APPEARS AFTER THOSE STORMS MOVE THROUGH
THAT THERE WILL BE A LULL IN AN ACTIVITY. SOUTH WINDS MAY GUST TO
BETWEEN 20 AND 25 KT DURING THIS TIME PERIOD. CHANCE FOR MORE
STORMS INCREASES AFTER 20Z AND CONTINUES TO OR SHORTLY AFTER 00Z.
SHOULD BE ANOTHER LULL OVERNIGHT UNTIL LATE IN THE TAF PERIOD
WHEN YET MORE SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE. HOWEVER AT THIS
POINT OUTSIDE OF CONVECTION IT APPEARS THAT VFR WILL PREVAIL.

OUTLOOK...THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT.
