Area forecast discussion, Apr 2, 8:56 PM EDT, 35 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
856 PM EDT THU APR 2 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTH INTO THE OHIO VALLEY AND REMAIN ACROSS
THE AREA THROUGH FRIDAY. SEVERAL WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE TRAVELING
ALONG THE FRONT WILL PROVIDE MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF STORMS. HIGH PRESSURE
AND DRIER AIR WILL MOVE BACK IN FOR SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
ADDITIONAL STORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ALONG MARGINAL INSTABILITY AXIS THAT
EXISTS ACRS CENTRAL INDIANA INTO SW OHIO. BLYR CAPES ARE AROUND
1000 J/KG ALONG THIS AXIS. LATEST HRRR OUTPUT CONTINUES TO HAVE
A GOOD HANDLE ON CURRENT CONVECTIVE TRENDS.

EXPECT THESE STORMS TO PUSH INTO ILN/S SW CWA AND THEN WEAKEN SOME
AS THEY MOVE AWAY FROM GENESIS REGION. A STRONG OR POSSIBLY SEVERE
STORM CAN NOT BE RULED OUT ACRS ILN/S FOR NEXT HOUR OR TWO.  WITH
LOSS OF INSTBY THIS WINDOW FOR POTENTIAL SEVERE WEATHER DIMINISHES
BY LATE EVENING.

EVENTUALLY OVERNIGHT...THE SIGNAL STILL LOOKS GOOD FOR HEAVY RAIN
POSSIBLE FLOOD ACRS OUR SRN COUNTIES. THUS HAVE CONTINUED THE
FLOOD WATCH. HAVE ADJUSTED TEMPS FOR CURRENT TRENDS WITH LOWS FROM
THE MID 40S FAR NW TO THE UPPER 50S SE.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
BROAD MOIST SOUTHWESTERLY MID LEVEL FLOW WITH SLOW
MOVING COLD FRONT DROPPING INTO OHIO OVERNIGHT. MARGINAL INSTBY
HAS DEVELOPED INTO SW OHIO. STORMS OVER THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY ARE
DEVELOPING INTO A LINE. WIND FIELDS AND WET BULB ZERO HEIGHTS
SUGGEST THAT SOME OF THE STRONGER UPDRAFTS WILL BE CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS EARLY THIS EVENING.

CONVECTIVE ENABLING MODELS SHOW SUGGEST THAT THIS COLD POOL DRIVEN
CONVECTION DEVELOPS INTO ILN/S SW FA IN RGN OF FAVORABLE LOW LEVEL
CONVERGENCE INTO THIS EVENING. EXPECT ADDITIONAL STORMS TO COME
TOGETHER AHEAD OF THE SFC COLD FRONT BETWEEN 06Z AND 12Z IN NEXT
REGION OF FAVORABLE LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE.

IN FAVORABLE MOISTURE TRANSPORT PW/S TO INCREASE TO AROUND 250
PERCENT OF NORMAL OR 2 TO 3 STD DEVIATIONS ABOVE NORMAL. DUE TO
PROLONGED PERIOD OF PCPN AND VERY MOIST ENVIRONMENT...EXPECT 1 TO
3+ INCHES OF RAINFALL THRU FRIDAY. WILL CONTINUE FLOOD WATCH
TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY.

GOOD GRADIENT TO TEMPERATURES WITH FRONT BISECTING THE AREA. LOWS
FROM THE MID/UPR 40S NW TO UPPER 50S SE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
BROAD SOUTHWESTERLY MID LEVEL FLOW WITH SLOW MOVING FRONT DROPPING
SOUTH THRU ILN/S FA FRIDAY WITH H5 TROF SETTLING INTO GREAT
LAKES/OH VLY FRIDAY NIGHT. VERY MOIST ENVIRONMENT TO CONTINUE
ACROSS THE SOUTH WITH PW/S IN EXCESS OF 200 PERCENT OF NORMAL.
AXIS OF FAVORABLE LOW LEVEL FORCING TO BECOME ENHANCED WITH 8H
TROF DROPPING THRU FA FRIDAY AFTN/FRIDAY EVENING. SIGNIFICANT SFC
WAVE TO RIPPLE NE THRU THE FA FRIDAY EVENING. FRONT/SFC LOW
BISECTING FA WILL LEAD TO GOOD TEMPERATURES GRADIENT WITH FRIDAYS
HIGHS RANGING FROM MID 50S NW TO THE UPPER 60S SE.

DEEP MOISTURE AND LIFT TO PIVOT EAST OF ILN/S FRIDAY NIGHT. THERE
MAY BE A VERY BRIEF PERIOD OF RAIN/SNOW MIX PRIOR TO ENDING AS
COLDER AIR IS FUNNELED IN. ANY SNOW WILL BE MINIMAL AND ONLY HAVE
UP TO A TENTH OF AN INCH OVER EXTREME NE. LOWS FRIDAY NIGHT TO
RANGE FROM NEAR 30 NW TO THE UPPER 30S SE.

NW FLOW ALOFT WITH SFC HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN SATURDAY. EXPECT
DECREASE IN CLOUDS WITH A GOOD DEAL OF SUNSHINE SATURDAY. ALTHOUGH
SKIES WILL BE MOSTLY SUNNY...TEMPERATURES WILL BE 5 TO 10 DEGREES
BELOW NORMAL WITH HIGHS RANGING FROM THE UPPER 40S NW TO THE LOWER
50S SE.

THIS SFC HIGH TO BUILD ACRS THE AREA SAT NIGHT WITH MOSTLY CLEAR
SKY CONDITIONS AND LIGHT WINDS. LOWS TO RANGE FROM THE LOWER 30S
EAST TO THE MID/UPR 30S WEST.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED SUNDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES EAST. FOR
MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...THE ACTIVE PATTERN WILL RETURN. A FRONTAL
BOUNDARY CONTAINING ABUNDANT MOISTURE WILL DEVELOP MONDAY NEAR THE
WESTERN GREAT LAKES. MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT THE FRONT
WILL FORM...BUT THE LOCATION...TIMING AND DURATION OF PRECIPITATION
IS IN QUESTION. A FEW SHOWERS MAY OCCUR MONDAY IN MOISTURE ADVECTION
AND SHORT WAVE ENERGY SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BECOME LIKELY ON TUESDAY WHEN THE FRONT IS
FORECAST TO SAG SOUTH TOWARD OHIO. THERE WILL BE A GOOD CHANCE FOR
SHOWERS WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY IN THE PERSISTENTLY MOIST REGIME
ASSOCIATED WITH THE UNDULATING FRONT.

TEMPERATURES WILL START OUT NEAR NORMAL SUNDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE
LOWERS 60S. IT MAY BE A COUPLE DEGREES COOLER MONDAY UNDER WEAK COLD
ADVECTION. TUESDAY IS SHAPING UP TO BE THE WARMEST DAY IN THIS
PERIOD WHEN WARM ADVECTION MAY BOOST READINGS TO AROUND 70. A RETURN
TO NEAR NORMAL LOWER 60S APPEARS TO BE IN STORE FOR WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF LIMITED SUNSHINE AND COLD ADVECTION.

&&

.AVIATION /01Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
EXPECT SHOWERS AND STORMS ESPECIALLY THROUGH 04Z ACROSS THE TAF
SITES BEFORE A GENERAL WEAKENING/REFOCUS SOUTH OF THE TAF SITES
ACROSS KENTUCKY DURING THE LATER PART OF THE NIGHT. GENERALLY
EXPECT MVFR/VFR CONDITIONS AT 00Z OUTSIDE OF SHOWERS/STORMS TO
SLOWLY DETERIORATE AS THE COLD FRONT SHIFTS IN AND WINDS
DECREASE...SHOULD ALLOW CIGS TO LOWER AMIDST HIGH MOISTURE
AIRMASS. INSIDE SHOWERS/STORMS...EXPECT MVFR TO OCCASIONALLY IFR
CONDITIONS THROUGH THE NIGHT. ALL SITES SHOULD SEE CIGS PULL CLOSE
TO AND BELOW IFR AS THE NIGHT WEARS ON IN LINE WITH STATISTICAL
GUIDANCE. LIKELY TO GET A LULL IN THE RAIN OVER MOST OF THE SITES
LATER IN THE NIGHT AS ACTIVITY FOCUSES SOUTH OF THE TAF
SITES...BUT ANOTHER SYSTEM EJECTING TOWARD THE AREA ON FRIDAY
AFTERNOON WILL SPELL RENEWED SHRA/TSRA AND MVFR/POTENTIALLY IFR
CONDITIONS.

CONTINUING INTO FRIDAY NIGHT. MVFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES
POSSIBLE MONDAY INTO TUESDAY.
