AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
205 PM EDT THU JUN 18 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
MULTIPLE DISTURBANCES WILL WORK THROUGH THE AREA TODAY INTO FRIDAY.
REMNANTS OF TROPICAL DEPRESSION BILL WILL BRING ADDITIONAL RAIN TO
THE REGION ON SATURDAY. THE UNSETTLED PATTERN CONTINUES INTO NEXT
WEEK WITH ADDITIONAL DISTURBANCES WORKING THROUGH THE AREA.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
MOIST AIRMASS IN PLACE WITH WARM FRONT OVER SRN MI AND NE OHIO PLACING
ILN/S FA IN THE WARM SECTOR. WESTERLY MID LEVEL FLOW ACRS THE OHIO
VALLEY/GREAT LAKES AROUND RIDGE CENTERED OVER SE US. MID LEVEL S/W
TO SWEEP ESE THRU NRN GREAT LAKES LATE AFTN/EVENING. ASSOCIATED
SFC FRONT TO DROP SE INTO SRN GREAT LAKES BY EVENING AND SRN OHIO
BY FRIDAY MORNING.

NAM APPEARS OVERDONE WITH INSTBY AND GFS SOLN MAY BE A LTL LOW. PREFER
RAP SOLN...INDICATING LOW END MODERATE INSTBY DEVELOPMENT IN
DAYTIME HEATING THIS AFTN. EXPECT SCATTERED STORMS TO DEVELOP DURG
THE AFTN IN THIS AIRMASS AHD OF THE AFOREMENTIONED BOUNDARY. FOCUS
IS LACKING SO WILL LIMIT POPS TO CHANCE CATEGORY.

WESTERLY UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW WITH BULK SHEAR OF 30-35 KTS. SO A
FEW STORMS COULD ORGANIZE INTO LINE SEGMENTS WITH ISOLD DAMAGING
WINDS BEING THE MAIN THREAT.

EXPECT HIGHS TO RANGE FROM THE LOWER 80S NORTH TO THE MID/UPR 80S
FAR SOUTH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL WORK THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT. THIS FEATURE
WILL THEN LIFT BACK NORTHWARDS ON FRIDAY. WITH THIS FEATURE
REMAINING IN THE AREA SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN IN THE
FORECAST. PRECIPITATION WILL BE MORE WIDESPREAD ACROSS SOUTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE FA ON FRIDAY. SOME OF THE RAIN COULD BE HEAVY AT
TIMES AND LEAD TO FLOODING ISSUES. HAVE THIS HEAVY RAIN THREAT
MENTIONED IN THE HWO.

THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL DEPRESSION BILL WILL MOVE INTO THE
AREA FOR SATURDAY. ALTHOUGH PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED ACROSS MOST
OF THE AREA THE HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO BE ACROSS
SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE REGION. HAVE THIS MENTION OF HEAVY RAIN

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
IN THE WAKE OF THE REMNANTS OF BILL SLIGHTLY DRIER PWAT AIR WILL
WORK INTO THE REGION. GFS FORECAST SOUNDINGS QUICKLY RE-SATURATE
THE AIR THOUGH AS ANOTHER SHORTWAVE ROUNDS THE BASE OF THE MAIN
TROUGH AXIS. THE NEW EURO KEEPS THE SHORTWAVE SLIGHTLY FURTHER
NORTH ALONG WITH THE BETTER RAIN CHANCES. THE GFS ALSO SHOWS 850
TEMPS WARMING TO ABOVE 20 DEGREES C SUNDAY WHICH COULD MEAN FOR A
WARM DAY IF RAIN IS ABLE TO HOLD OFF. GFS SOUNDINGS DO HINT AT A
PRETTY GOOD AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY SUNDAY THOUGH IF PARCELS CAN
OVERCOME THE INVERSION.

ANOTHER MORE POTENT SHORTWAVE WILL THEN MOVE EAST MONDAY MORNING
PUSHING A WEAK FRONT INTO THE AREA. THE FRONT THEN STALLS ACROSS THE
CENTRAL PART OF THE CWA BEFORE WASHING OUT. TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY
AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE LOCATED OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES
WILL BEGIN TO PUSH EAST. ILN LOOKS TO BE ON THE EDGE OF THE RIDGE.
THIS MEANS ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES WITH A LOW CHANCE OF RAIN. THE
PLACEMENT OF THE RIDGE STILL REMAINS UNCERTAIN AS THE GFS KEEPS THE
RIDGE SLIGHTLY MORE AMPLIFIED WHILE THE EURO PUSHES THE RIDGE
SLIGHTLY FURTHER SOUTH. FOR NOW HAVE TRENDED DRIER FOR OUR SOUTHERN
COUNTIES.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THIS AFTN IN THE
MODERATELY UNSTABLE AIRMASS AHD OF A COLD FRONT DROPPING SE ACRS
THE GREAT LAKES. EXPECT BEST COVERAGE OF STORMS ACRS KCVG/KLUK

BUT BRIEF PERIODS OF IFR VSBY RESTRICTIONS ARE NOT OUT OF THE
QUESTION IN HEAVY RAIN DOWNPOURS.

FURTHER NORTH HAVE OPTED FOR VCTS MENTION DUE TO MORE LIMITED
COVERAGE.
