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 May 10, 2:00 PM EDT, 1 hour 44 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 10, 2:00 PM EDT, 1 hour 44 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
200 PM EDT TUE MAY 10 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN IN THE FORECAST
TODAY AND TONIGHT...AS A WARM FRONT SLOWLY MOVES NORTH THROUGH THE
AREA. AFTER A BRIEF PERIOD OF DRY CONDITIONS ON WEDNESDAY...A COLD
FRONT WILL BRING ANOTHER CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS ON
THURSDAY...WITH ANOTHER COLD FRONT FOLLOWING BEHIND ON FRIDAY NIGHT.
BEHIND THESE FRONTS...COOLER AIR IS EXPECTED FOR THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
INITIAL BAND OF SHOWERS CONTINUES TO SLOWLY PIVOT NORTHEAST
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. SECOND AREA OF CONVECTION AHEAD OF A
WELL DEFINED MID LEVEL CIRCULATION IS ALREADY MOVING INTO SOUTH
CENTRAL INDIANA. BASED ON OBSERVED TRENDS...HAVE NARROWED THE GAP
BETWEEN INITIAL PRECIPITATION AND SECOND ROUND IMPACTING THE
REGION. THIS WILL ALSO PLAY A ROLE IN INSTABILITY...WITH A
NARROWER WINDOW FOR DESTABILIZATION. BASED ON RECENT HIGH
RESOLUTION RUNS...IT IS STARTING TO LOOK LIKE MULTIPLE CLUSTERS OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVING ACROSS THE AREA INSTEAD OF JUST
ONE CLUSTER WITH THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES SEEING THE MOST AND
STRONGEST ACTIVITY. IT SEEMS THAT THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT IS A
BIT LOWER THAN EARLIER THOUGHT WHILE THE THREAT FOR FLASH FLOODING
IS A LITTLE HIGHER. GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR HAZARDOUS WEATHER WILL
CONTINUE TO BE IN THE SOUTHWEST COUNTIES WITH DAMAGING STRAIGHT
LINE WINDS AND FLASH FLOODING BEING THE PRIMARY THREATS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
CONTINUED SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED AT TIMES
GOING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...AS THE SHORTWAVE VERY SLOWLY
MOVES ENE THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY AND INTO THE SOUTHERN GREAT
LAKES. UNTIL THE AXIS OF THIS WAVE HAS PASSED...PRECIPITATION WILL
REMAIN POSSIBLE...THOUGH THE THREAT FOR ANY STRONG STORMS WILL
LIKELY DIMINISH AFTER THIS EVENING.

A NARROW RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY AND
INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WHICH 00Z MODELS HAVE COME INTO A LITTLE
BETTER AGREEMENT ON...ALLOWING FOR A PERIOD OF LOWERED POPS. THIS
WILL CHANGE AGAIN GOING INTO THURSDAY MORNING...IN ADVANCE OF A
COLD FRONT...AND WITH THE OVERALL PATTERN SHIFTING AGAIN FROM
RIDGING TO TROUGHING (AND HEIGHT FALLS OVER THE ILN CWA).

FRONTAL TIMING ON THURSDAY APPEARS SLIGHTLY SLOWER THAN PREVIOUSLY
ANTICIPATED...BUT WITH NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE OVERALL
SCENARIO. STRONGER WARM ADVECTION THIS TIME AROUND SHOULD ALLOW
FOR TEMPERATURES TO INCREASE MORE SIGNIFICANTLY IN ADVANCE OF THE
FRONT. THE MOIST PATTERN AND SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE FRONT ARE NOT
HARBINGERS FOR SIGNIFICANT STRONG STORMS...BUT THERE WILL PROBABLY
BE SOME LEVEL OF SEVERE THREAT TO CONTEND WITH ON THURSDAY.

MUCH DRIER AIR IS FORECAST TO MOVE IN BEHIND THE FRONT...ALONG
WITH A COOL DOWN OF AROUND 10 DEGREES FROM THURSDAY TO FRIDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
WE WILL GET INTO A BRIEF PERIOD OF DRYING BEHIND THE FRONT ON
FRIDAY AS TEMPERATURES RETURN TO MORE SEASONABLE READINGS IN THE
UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S. A NORTHWEST FLOW PATTERN ALOFT WILL THEN
BE IN PLACE ACROSS THE REGION FOR THE WEEKEND...GRADUALLY
TRANSITIONING TO MORE OF A ZONAL FLOW PATTERN THROUGH EARLY NEXT
WEEK. A SERIES OF EMBEDDED WEAK DISTURBANCES WILL DROP DOWN ACROSS
THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY...AND THEN AGAIN SUNDAY NIGHT
INTO MONDAY...BRINGING ADDITIONAL CHANCES FOR SHOWERS. BELOW
NORMAL TEMPERATURE READINGS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE END OF THE
LONG TERM PERIOD...WITH HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE 60S.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT E/NE THROUGH THE
FCST AREA THROUGH THE AFT AND EVE. SHOWERS WILL MOVE AHEAD OF THE
BOUNDARY THROUGH ALL TAF SITES EXCEPT KCVG AND KLUK THROUGH 00Z.

CONVECTION ALLOWING MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE SUBSEQUENT ROUNDS OF
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS MOVING INTO AREA THIS AFT AND EVE. MAIN
CONCERN WITH THIS ACTIVITY WILL BE BRIEF REDUCTIONS IN VSBYS AND
LOWERING OF CIGS IN HEAVIER SHRA/TSRA. INSTABILITY LOOKS TO BE
MORE LIMITED FOR KDAY...KCMH...AND KLCK... ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING
AFTERNOON CLOUD COVER AND PRECEDING PRECIPITATION. DID INCLUDE
THUNDER FOR KCVG...AND KLUK... AS ENVIRONMENT WILL LIKELY
DESTABILIZE ENOUGH FOR SECONDARY ACTIVITY. WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE
SOUTHERLY THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS FOR ALL TERMINALS.

AFTER 06Z... INSTABILITY WILL WANE AND FORCING WILL WEAKEN...
THEREFORE EXPECT THAT SHRA/TS ACTIVITY WILL BECOME MORE SCATTERED
AS IT SHIFTS SOUTH AND EAST OF ALL TERMINALS... ALLOWING FOR MVFR
CIGS TO SETTLE INTO THE AREA. IFR CIGS ARE POSSIBLE TONIGHT...
BUT CONFIDENCE IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO INCLUDE RIGHT NOW. SUFFICIENT
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL ALLOW FOR MVFR/IFR CIGS AND MIST BETWEEN
06Z AND 12Z WEDNESDAY ACROSS ALL TERMINALS. EXPECT THAT WINDS WILL
BE LIGHT SOUTHWESTERLY THROUGH OVERNIGHT PERIOD.

OUTLOOK...MVFR/IFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY
MORNING. THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. MVFR
CIGS AND VSBYS WILL AGAIN BE POSSIBLE SATURDAY.
