Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wilmington OH
336 PM EST Sun Nov 5 2017
.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure will ripple along a cold front as they push
southeast across the region tonight. Widespread showers and
thunderstorms are expected with severe weather and flash
flooding possible. Clouds and a few lingering showers are
expected on Monday along with cooler temperatures. A disturbance
will move across the Ohio Valley Monday night into Tuesday
which will bring a threat for some showers, mainly along and
south of the Ohio River.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
Low pressure will ripple along a cold front as they push
southeast across the region tonight. All the parameters are
there dynamically and thermodynamically for possible damaging
winds, large hail, and isolated tornadoes. The atmosphere is
very moist with pwats ranging between 1.50 and 1.60 along the
front. These values will result in thunderstorms with very heavy
rainfall in a short period, along with the potential for
training storms. The Flash Flood Watch will continue for much of
the area until 4 am EST. Overnight lows will be dependent on how
fast the front moves through. Have lows ranging from the mid 40s
northwest to the lower 60s southeast.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
The front will move southeast of the region on Monday,
with precipitation gradually exiting the southeast during the
morning hours. Clouds will remain in the CAA behind the front.
Temperatures will either slowly fall or recover only slightly
from morning highs.
For Monday night, models continue to show an upper level
disturbance move across the Ohio Valley, perturbing a wave of
low pressure along the old frontal boundary to our south. This
will bring a chance of showers, mainly along and south of the
Ohio River. Likely PoPs may end up skimming our far south. Lows
will range from the upper 30s north to the mid 40s south.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A strong vorticity maxima in the mean westerly h5 flow will combine
with a surface inverted trough nosing northeast from the Tennessee
Valley to permit continued shower activity over northern Kentucky
and portions of south central Ohio early Tuesday. This will then
lead to high pressure keeping any precip chances out of the picture
until the end of the weekend. This will occur as the axis of the
high that will then be moving into Quebec reaches the Appalachians
and return flow sets up in the western Ohio Valley. Models diverge
on the broad pattern, but a H5 trough and surface low moving in from
the Midwest will increase the threat for showers and thunderstorms
Saturday night and Sunday.
High temperatures will be slightly below normal through the end of
the work week and then warm for the weekend. Lows will be similar -
at or slightly below normal until the weekend.
&&
.AVIATION /21Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Embedded disturbances in a developing cyclonic flow aloft will
combine with favorable upper level jet energy and a surface cold
front/low to bring widespread showers and thunderstorms to the
region this afternoon into tonight. The most intense
precipitation will be along and ahead of the cold front. A very
moist airmass will result in heavy rain with MVFR/local IFR
ceilings and IFR/LIFR visbilities. Also, will have to update
TAFs for storm timing should strong to severe winds be
anticipated.
For later tonight into Monday, the front and low will push to
the southeast. Showers and storms will taper off to a chance of
showers with MVFR perhaps locally IFR ceilings expected.
On Monday, region should see a reprieve in the precipitation
behind the front, however, clouds and MVFR ceilings will linger.
Another embedded disturbance will approach the Ohio and
Tennessee Valleys Monday night. This will perturb a wave of low
pressure along the boundary to our south and may bring a few
showers to our southern terminals.
OUTLOOK...MVFR ceilings to linger from Monday night into
Tuesday.
