National Weather Service Wilmington OH
352 PM EDT Sat May 20 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
A warm front will progress northward through the area tonight
allowing for scattered showers and thunderstorms. Some of the storms
may contain heavy rain and gusty winds. Showers and thunderstorms
will persist through Sunday afternoon when a cold front sweeps
through the region. High pressure will build in for the beginning
of the week offering drier and cooler conditions.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
Mid/upper level low over the central plains to lift northeast
into the western Great Lakes tonight. Upstream ridge axis to
shift east with the flow backing in response to this system
with an increase in moisture. Convective s/w aided the
development of elevated convection in west central Ohio. This
activity will continue pivoting northeast out of ILN/s FA early
this evening.

East-west oriented frontal boundary has stalled across northern
KY. This front will begin to lift north this evening and push
across ILN/s fa into southern Lower Mi overnight. Moderate
instability has led to the develop of scattered storms over
ILN/s southwest counties invof the warm front. 30-40 kt 0-6km
bulk shear will support some organization to storms these
storms. Downdraft cape 800-900 j/kg suggests the potential for
a few of the stronger updrafts to produce strong to damaging
wind gusts. As this activity moves north away from the genesis
region of more favorable instability it is expected to weaken
some.

Model solns converging showing additional storms developing on
pre-frontal sfc trof overnight. 925 mb favorable axis of
convergence develops into eastern Indiana/western Ohio by 06Z.
Moisture increases with an axis of pw/s values of 1.6 to 1.7
inches. These values are 175 percent of normal. Therefore
potential for heavy rain and flooding will exist. Have
categorical pops developing overnight with this feature. In warm
sector and high moist environment have mild lows in the mid and
upper 60s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
Expect ongoing convection associated with pre-frontal sfc trof
Sunday morning. With pw/s of 1.6 to 1.7 inches, the potential
for heavy rain and flooding will exist. The cold front will be
slow to push through the region Sunday, which will provide a
continued threat for storms. Instability is expected to be
marginal. Highs on Sunday will be in the mid and upper 70s.

A chance of pcpn will linger in the eastern counties Sunday
evening before ending. Lows Sunday night will range from the
lower 50s west to the mid/upper 50s east.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
The ILN CWA will be in a dry period of cold advection starting on
Monday morning, with a cold front moving east of the region, as a
brief period of surface high pressure ensues. Though clearing skies
are expected, the cooler air mass will result in a drop in max temps
from Sunday to Monday, with highs in the upper 60s to around 70.

With upper level low pressure north of the Great Lakes, the general
flow pattern will gradually amplify, as the parent low spawns an
another upper trough over the middle Mississippi Valley. Though
there is decent agreement between models that most of the southern
stream moisture will remain near and east of the Appalachian
mountains, attention for the middle Ohio Valley will turn to the
forcing just ahead of the low, which will result in gradually
increasing precipitation chances from Tuesday afternoon through
Wednesday morning. 00Z/06Z/12Z runs have forced a shift in the
period of highest PoPs, now focused mainly on Wednesday. There has
also been a general trend slower with the eastward progression of
the upper low, which is unsurprising for closed upper systems in
May. PoPs have been held back a little more significantly on
Thursday, with slight chances introduced as well for Friday. This
system will also result in a period of cooler temperatures for
Wednesday and Thursday, possibly improving more significantly by
Friday (unless the low continues to hang around through the end of
the week).

Behind the low, though timing confidence is marginal, there is high
confidence that the overall pattern will switch to ridging over the
southeastern states through the southern Great Lakes. This will
allow for another round of increasing temperatures.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Surface front has pushed south of the TAF sites across northern
KY and become quasi-stationary. Low clouds and fog north of this
boundary which developed this morning are slowly improving and
expect VFR cigs and vsbys in next hour.
Model solns converging showing additional storms developing on
pre-frontal sfc trof overnight. Have brought in prevailing
showers and VCTS with CIGS dropping to MVFR category.

Moderate instability develops with scattered showers and
thunderstorms developing invof of this front as it pivots north
thru the afternoon into this evening. These storms will have
potential for heavy rain/strong to severe winds and have MVFR
CIGs with IFR vsbys. Brief IFR CIGs during storms will also be
possible.

Model solns converging showing additional storms developing on
pre-frontal sfc trof overnight. Have brought in prevailing
showers and VCTS with CIGS dropping to MVFR category.

Front to push east of the TAF sites Sunday afternoon with
conditions improving.

OUTLOOK...MVFR ceilings lingering Sunday afternoon.
