Area forecast discussion, Apr 30, 7:55 PM EDT, 9 hours 54 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wilmington OH 755 PM EDT Sun Apr 30 2017 .SYNOPSIS... Thunderstorms will occur ahead of a cold front that will move across the area late tonight into Monday morning. Much cooler air will move in behind this system with below normal temperatures expected through the rest of the week. Wet weather will return during the latter part of the week as low pressure slowly tracks across the Tennessee Valley. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/... Scattered thunderstorms that have been tracking across far eastern counties this afternoon will move east of the area over the next several hours. Appears that MCS lifting out of the mid South will make it into western counties this evening, although in a continuing weakening phase. New convection will develop along a strong cold front and move into the forecast area late tonight, likely after 2 am. CAPE may still be around 500 J/kg as this enters our area with instability waning further towards daybreak as the line progresses east. 0-3 km shear is forecast to be mainly parallel to the line which is not particularly favorable. But cannot rule out the potential for some strong to possibly severe storms late tonight. System is rather progressive, so while there could be some locally heavy rainfall, the lack of persistent rain should minimize flood potential. But with saturated ground in much of the region, could still be some minor flood issues here or there. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... Line of showers and thunderstorms will still be ongoing at the beginning of the period but exiting the area by mid morning as a cold front moves east. Looks like there could be some clearing right behind the front. But then the combination of moisture wrapping in behind the system and insolation should result in a rather extensive stratocumulus deck. Winds will become gusty. At this point expect them to remain below wind advisory criteria. A short wave rotating around an upper low in the Great Lakes will swing across the region Monday night. This may result in a few showers, mainly to the north and west of Dayton. In the wake of this short wave clouds may start to erode from the south later in the night. Winds will decrease a bit from their speeds during the day but still persist between 10 and 20 mph. In cold advection, temperature rise on Monday will only be 5-8 degrees from morning readings. Lows Monday night will fall back into the 40s. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... An upper level low pressure system situated over the northern Great Lakes Tuesday morning will shift east across Quebec through Tuesday night. This will help keep our area in cool cyclonic flow through the day on Tuesday with a few showers possible across the northern fringe of our fa. With a 35-45 knot 925-850 mb jet rotating across our area through the day and some developing low level CAA, winds will be gusty once again through the day. Mid level short wave energy dropping down across the Plains will help carve out a trough over the Mississippi Valley through mid week. This will eventually lead to a closed low developing which is then forecast to drift slowly east across the Tennessee Valley through the end of the week. As an associated surface low moves slowly east across the Tennessee Valley, expect fairly widespread showers to slowly overspread the area later Wednesday and into the day on Thursday. A chance of showers will then linger through Friday and possibly into Saturday as the upper level low slowly pushes east. High pressure and a drier airmass will then try to build into the area for Sunday. With the cool upper level low affecting the region through much of the long term period, temperatures will remain several degrees below normal through most of the week. Some moderation back closer to normal will be possible by the weekend. && .AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... All TAF sites currently VFR this evening with an area of low pressure centered over the Kansas/ Missouri border. The occluded low pressure will pull northeast with a front pushing east. Ahead of the front several rounds of showers and thunderstorms will be possible but uncertainty is high as coverage will be low. Better agreement exists with the cold front that is forecasted to push across the TAF sites between 09z and 14z. In general, the latest runs of the HRRR and RAP have slowed down the frontal passage (along with the band of showers and thunderstorms) but am having trouble believing this. Usually the front speeds up at night. For now have kept TAF forecast package showing similar timing as the previous package. As the line of showers and thunderstorms crosses the TAF sites gusty winds and IFR visibilities will be possible. Behind the front winds will slowly veer and pick up in speed. GFS and NAM forecast soundings are showing gusts up to 35 kts possible. Higher wind gusts will be possible towards DAY/ CMH/ LCK or closer to the low pressure center. OUTLOOK...Wind gusts to 35 kt possible Monday evening and then again on Tuesday. MVFR ceilings and visibilities possible Thursday through Friday. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. KY...None. IN...None. && SYNOPSIS...Haines NEAR TERM... SHORT TERM... LONG TERM...Haines AVIATION...
