Area forecast discussion, Mar 14, 1:59 PM EDT, 14 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH 159 PM EDT MON MAR 14 2016 .SYNOPSIS... A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY WILL BRING AN INCREASING CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE REGION TODAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD EAST ACROSS THE AREA FOR TUESDAY LEADING TO DRY CONDITIONS. HOWEVER...A COLD FRONT WILL BRING ANOTHER CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TUESDAY NIGHT. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE FA TODAY. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE SE OF THIS LOW WHILE JUST EXPECT SHOWER ACTIVITY NORTHWEST OF THE LOW. THE LOW WILL MOVE THROUGH AROUND THE KDAY AREA. THERE IS AN ISOLATED THREAT THAT SOME OF THE STORMS MAY BE STRONG TO SEVERE ACROSS THE SE PORTIONS OF THE FA. MADE MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO THE TEMPERATURES FOR TODAY. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... SOME SHOWERS WILL LIKELY LINGER INTO THIS EVENING...BUT SHOULD TAPER OFF WEST TO EAST THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS AS WE GET ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE SHORTWAVE/LOW. A NARROW RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL WORK EASTWARD OVERNIGHT AND SHOULD BE CENTERED NORTH TO SOUTH ACROSS OUR FA BY 12Z TUESDAY MORNING. DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH WE ARE ABLE TO CLEAR OUT LATER TONIGHT...WE COULD END UP WITH SOME FOG ISSUES LATE TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING GIVEN THE LIGHT FLOW AND ABUNDANT SURFACE MOISTURE. THE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL SLIDE EAST ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE REST OF THE DAY ON TUESDAY...AND THIS SHOULD HELP KEEP US DRY THROUGH THE DAYTIME PERIOD. HIGHS ON TUESDAY WILL RANGE FROM THE MID TO UPPER 60S NORTH TO THE LOWER 70S IN THE SOUTH. THERE IS STILL SOME MODEL TIMING AND STRENGTH DIFFERENCES WITH THE SHORT WAVE THAT WILL PUSH ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. THE 00Z GFS LOOKS TO BE THE FASTEST WITH THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT TUESDAY NIGHT WITH THE NAM/ECMWF AND CMC ALL ABOUT 3 TO 6 HOURS SLOWER. THE TAIL END OF THE HIGHER RES CONVECTIVE MODELS ALSO APPEAR TO BE TRENDING TOWARD THIS SLOWER SOLUTION TOO SO WILL LEAN THAT WAY WITH THE FORECAST. WITH THE BEST FORCING TO OUR NORTH AND MODEL STRENGTH UNCERTAINTY...SOUTHERN EXTENT OF ANY PCPN IS SOMEWHAT IN DOUBT SO WILL TREND HIGHEST POPS FROM NORTH TO SOUTH ACROSS OUR AREA FOR TUESDAY NIGHT. ANY SEVERE THREAT WILL ALSO BE HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON THE TIMING OF THE FRONT AND WITH THE SLOWER SOLUTIONS...WOULD GENERALLY EXPECT A WEAKENING TREND TO ANY CONVECTION AS IT WORKS EAST ACROSS OUR AREA THROUGH THE NIGHT. IN A TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT AND DEVELOPING CAA BEHIND THE FRONT...BREEZY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR WEDNESDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE LOW TO MID 60S. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... THE LAST COUPLE GFS RUNS HAVE TRENDED TOWARDS THE ECMWF HANDLING OF THE H5 LOW...WHICH WAS MORE BROAD AND STRETCHED ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES. THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY THE MODELS DROP THE ELONGATED H5 TROF AND SFC CDFNT ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES. FORCING IS WEAK...BUT THERE SHOULD BE ENUF CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT FOR A FEW SCATTERED SHOWERS. BY SATURDAY...THE MODELS BEGIN TO DIVERGE IN THE HANDLING OF THE H5 TROF PUSHING OUT OF THE ROCKIES. ECMWF IS QUICKER THAN THE GFS IN KICKING THE SYSTEM AND PCPN OUT TO THE EAST. SINCE THE TREND OF THE ECMWF FOR WEDNESDAY THRU FRIDAY IS MORE STABLE...WILL LEAN TOWARDS ITS SOLUTION FOR THE WEEKEND. LIFTED AN AREA OF RAIN SHOWERS UP ACROSS THE AREA ON SATURDAY. COOLER AIR GETS PULLED IN ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE LOW. RIGHT NOW IT IS LOOKING LIKE THICKNESSES WILL BE WARM ENOUGH FOR RAIN ON SUNDAY IN ANY SHOWER THAT DEVELOPS. TEMPERATURES WILL BECOME COOLER EACH DAY THROUGH THE EXTENDED. HIGHS WEDNESDAY WILL BE IN THE LOWER TO MID 60S....BUT WILL FALL OFF TO THE UPPER 40S TO LOWER 50S BY FRIDAY AND THE UPPER 30S TO MID 40S BY SUNDAY. LOWS WILL GO FROM THE MID 40S WEDNESDAY TO 35 TO 40 BY SUNDAY MORNING. && .AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL IN PLACE THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE TAF SITES. ACTIVITY WILL DECREASE TONIGHT HOWEVER SOME FOG WILL THEN BE POSSIBLE WITH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE. VFR CONDITIONS WILL RETURN DURING THE DAYTIME HOURS ON TUESDAY. OUTLOOK...THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE TUESDAY NIGHT. WINDS MAY GUST UP TO 30 KT ON WEDNESDAY. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...NONE. KY...NONE. IN...NONE. && SYNOPSIS...JGL NEAR TERM...NOVAK SHORT TERM...JGL LONG TERM...SITES AVIATION...NOVAK
