Area forecast discussion, Jul 10, 5:03 PM EDT, 3 hours 9 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wilmington OH 503 PM EDT Mon Jul 10 2017 .SYNOPSIS... Upper air disturbances tracking through the area will keep unsettled weather across the region into Tuesday. Hot temperatures will spread in on Wednesday. A cold front will sag south towards the area later in the week bringing a return of showers and thunderstorms. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/... MCV continues to track east across northern Ohio with convection occurring out ahead of it. The environment in central Ohio has become favorable for vigorous updrafts which has led to severe storms with heavy rainfall as well. This activity will push out of the forecast area over the next few hours. Additional showers and thunderstorms tracking southeast across Indiana are much weaker and should continue to dissipate. However, new convection is expected to develop a bit further northwest as a short wave drops out of the upper midwest. Guidance suggests and east-west oriented line of showers and thunderstorms will drop into the forecast area late this evening with a general diminishing trend through the overnight. Lows are forecast to be in the lower 70s. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... East-west moist axis, south of a front that will remain across northern Indiana and Ohio, will extend across the forecast area with new showers and thunderstorms developing along this axis during the day. Shear is forecast to be weak but instability may sufficient for some strong to severe storms. Bigger concern will be for heavy rainfall with training and/or back building storms in an environment of high precipitable water and deep warm cloud depths. Activity will gradually diminish during the evening and start to lift north. Highs will be a bit suppressed by showers and thunderstorms, and could end up being a bit warm if activity ends up being extensive enough. Tuesday night will once again have lows in the lower 70s. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... A vertically stacked upper level low will be located southeast of the Hudson Bay Wednesday morning with a warm front pulling north into Michigan. Some rain will be possible Wednesday morning ahead of the warm front, but most of the day should be dry Wednesday as lower PWAT air works into the area (PWAT ~ 1.30"). 850 mb temperatures on both the GFS and ECMWF continue to be forecasted around 20 degrees C Wednesday. Overall this would support high temperatures in the lower 90s. Have gone a little below guidance here though as wet soil and a moist atmosphere will likely hold temperatures back slightly. On Thursday, a short-wave that was over the Pacific northwest a couple of days ago will be pushing southeast into Minnesota around the upper level low off to the east. Ahead of the short-wave weak PVA will traverse the region helping to provide weak upper level support. Forecast soundings also do destabilize Thursday and with PWATs back on the rise PoPs may need to be raised. For now have held off as uncertainty remains in where the upper level disturbances will be. During the day Friday a surface front will push south in association with the short-wave. Models continue to struggle here on exactly how quickly and where the short-wave will go around an amplifying ridge of high pressure. The ECMWF and the GFS in general try to push the front through the area Friday evening. Behind the front expect drier and cooler conditions. A reinforcing front is then expected to dive south and push through the area Sunday. Some precipitation will be possible with the front but given the uncertainty have left out of the forecast package for now. && .AVIATION /21Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... Developing thunderstorms may impact the Columbus TAFs early in the period. Otherwise, the probability of any terminals being impacted by showers and thunderstorms through the rest of the daytime period is low. So VFR will prevail although south southwest winds will remain gusty until around 00Z. Appears that additional showers and thunderstorms will form north of the region and sag south overnight. Due to timing uncertainties, have used a broad range of VCSH/VCTS to indicate the period of greatest potential. South winds will be persistent through the night. There is some potential for MVFR ceilings to develop and impact locations from KDAY to KCMH/KLCK late in the TAF period. OUTLOOK...Thunderstorms possible Tuesday and evening and then again Thursday and Friday. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. KY...None. IN...None. && SYNOPSIS... NEAR TERM...
