Area forecast discussion, Mar 31, 4:01 PM EDT, 2 hours 23 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
401 PM EDT THU MAR 31 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION TONIGHT. A SECONDARY SURFACE
TROUGH WILL EXTEND ACROSS NORTHERN OHIO AND INDIANA ON FRIDAY. A
STRONG COLD FRONT WILL SWING THROUGH THE AREA SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
TWO AREAS OF CONVECTION WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. FIRST AREA IS WORKING NORTHEAST OUT OF
SOUTHERN INDIANA AND CENTRAL KENTUCKY. THIS WILL PRIMARILY AFFECT
THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES THROUGH THE REST OF THE DAYLIGHT HOURS.
THINNING OF CLOUDS IS ALLOWING FOR SOME HEATING WHICH IN TURN IS
RESULTING IN SOME DESTABILIZATION. SHOULD BE ENOUGH SHEAR...BUT
WHETHER THERE WILL BE SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY TO RESULT IN STRONG
TO SEVERE STORMS STILL REMAINS IN QUESTION.

THE OTHER CONVECTION IS OCCURRING AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT.
THINKING THAT THIS WILL LIKELY MOVE INTO A LESS FAVORABLE
ENVIRONMENT...ESPECIALLY WITH INITIAL ROUND OF CONVECTION
MODIFYING THE ATMOSPHERE IN SOUTHERN SECTIONS.

BOTH AREAS OF CONVECTION ARE MOVING RATHER QUICKLY...SO EXPECT
MOST PRECIPITATION TO MOVE EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA BY MIDNIGHT.
THERE ARE SOME INDICATIONS THAT A FEW SHOWERS COULD LINGER INTO
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS IN THE SOUTHEASTERN COUNTIES.

FORECAST LOWS CLOSER TO SLIGHT COOLER MET GUIDANCE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
RIDGE WILL NOSE INTO SOUTHERN COUNTIES DURING THE DAY. BUT A WEAK
SHORT WAVE MOVING ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES WILL INDUCE A
SURFACE TROUGH ACROSS NORTHERN OHIO AND INDIANA. THIS WILL RESULT
IN A CHANCE OF SHOWERS IN FAR NORTHERN COUNTIES. THE TROUGH WILL
DISSIPATE IN THE EVENING AS THE UPPER SYSTEM CONTINUES TO WEAKEN
AND MOVE OFF TO THE EAST. THUS THE SURFACE RIDGE AXIS WILL BE
ABLE TO EXTEND FURTHER INTO THE FORECAST AREA.

STRONG SHORT WAVE WILL DIVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES
SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THIS WILL DRIVE A STRONG COLD
FRONT ACROSS THE AREA. SHOWERS WILL ACCOMPANY THIS WITH THE
GREATEST COVERAGE IN CENTRAL OHIO CLOSER TO UPPER FORCING. WINDS
WILL BECOME STRONG AND GUSTY ALONG AND BEHIND THE FRONT WITH WIND
ADVISORY CRITERIA LIKELY BEING REACHED OVER AT LEAST PART OF THE
FORECAST AREA. WINDS WILL DIMINISH IN THE EVENING AND SKIES WILL
CLEAR. TEMPERATURES WILL DROP TO OR BELOW FREEZING SATURDAY NIGHT
AREA WIDE. WINDS MAY DROP OFF ENOUGH IN THE SOUTH TO ALSO ALLOW
FOR SOME FROST FORMATION. BUT POTENTIAL FREEZE IS GREATER HAZARD.
SAW NO REASON TO DEVIATE MUCH FROM MOS TEMPERATURES.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL START OUT THE LONG TERM PERIOD.  THERE WILL BE
PLENTY OF SUNSHINE DURING THE DAY ON SUNDAY.  TEMPERATURES WILL BE
SLOW TO RISE AT FIRST WITH A COOL AIRMASS IN PLACE HOWEVER SOUTHERLY
FLOW WILL DEVELOP LATER IN THE DAY ALLOWING FOR TEMPERATURES TO RISE
INTO THE 50S ACROSS SW PORTIONS OF THE FA.  NE PORTIONS OF THE FA
ARE ONLY EXPECTED TO REACH INTO THE MIDDLE 40S DURING THE DAY ON
SUNDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL DROP OFF SUNDAY EVENING HOWEVER WILL RISE
OVERNIGHT AS WARMER AIR MOVES INTO THE REGION AND CLOUD COVER BEGINS
TO INCREASE.

HELD OFF PRECIPITATION UNTIL THE DAYTIME HOURS ON MONDAY.  A COLD
FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH ON MONDAY.  PRECIPITATION WILL LINGER ACROSS
THE EAST UNTIL TUESDAY MORNING AS THE UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVES
THROUGH.  MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE IN THE FORM OF RAIN
HOWEVER SOME LIGHT SNOW WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE MONDAY NIGHT INTO
TUESDAY MORNING.  HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN WORK INTO THE REGION
HOWEVER THIS WILL BE SHORT LIVED AS ANOTHER SYSTEM WILL APPROACH THE
FA FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
PRE-FRONTAL RAIN EXITING TAF SITES. VSBYS IMPROVING AND CIGS
SHOULD SLOWLY IMPROVE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. GUSTY WINDS WILL
DIMINISH THIS EVENING. CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY SHOULD ARRIVE LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING ACROSS TAF SITES. SHOWERS AND STORMS MOVING
OUT FROM WEST TO EAST OVERNIGHT. BRIEF MVFR VSBYS AND CIGS WITH
CONVECTION AND FRONTAL CLOUDS. SHOULD BE MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS BY
LATE TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY. WINDS WILL PICK UP AGAIN DURING THE DAY
FRIDAY BUT NOT AS STRONG AS TODAY.

OUTLOOK...MVFR CEILINGS POSSIBLE SATURDAY ALONG WITH STRONG GUSTY
WINDS. MVFR CEILING AND VSBYS POSSIBLE MONDAY.
