The local office's own words before this special weather statement went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Wilmington, OH wrote its last area forecast discussion before this special weather statement went out at Jul 7, 2:41 PM EDT, 1 hour 31 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 7, 2:41 PM EDT, 1 hour 31 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wilmington OH 241 PM EDT Fri Jul 7 2017 .SYNOPSIS... A cold front from the northwest will bring the likelihood for showers and thunderstorms today into tonight. High pressure will follow the front, providing dry weather for Saturday and Sunday. Another cold front is forecast to sag south from the Great Lakes on Monday and Tuesday, with more showers and thunderstorms possible. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... Severe Thunderstorm Watch 401 in effect until 5 PM EDT this afternoon across central Ohio and Indiana. Main update to morning package was to the PoPs as showers and thunderstorms have already developed across northern Indiana and are pushing southeast. Earlier this morning another complex of showers and thunderstorms pushed east across the area and left a outflow just southeast of Columbus (as seen on GOES R). The showers and thunderstorms currently in Indiana will likely dive southeast and follow the old out flow. ML Cape out ahead of the showers and thunderstorms are around 1500 to 2500 J/kg with around 20 to 30 kts of SFC - 3km and SFC - 6km shear. The better shear remains further northwest near the upper level support. Latest high res guidance has struggled catching on with the latest trends with the HRRRX seeming to try and catch on. Current thinking is for current complex of showers and thunderstorms over northern Indiana to dive southeast and weaken. More redevelopment is then forecasted on the western edge and is forecasted to push south towards Cincinnati this afternoon into evening. The surface cold front will then trail behind this evening. Secondary development along the cold front looks less likely given the convection that looks likely to have occurred out ahead of the front. New zones already out. Prev Discussion-> Patchy fog has developed over ground that is moist after recent rainfall. Have issued SPS for reduced visibilities through 9 am. Though visibilities seem to be improving a bit as drier air works in from the west, will continue to monitor for possible NPW. Once fog burns off by mid morning, the chance for showers and thunderstorms will increase with daytime heating, especially this afternoon as a cold front approaches from the northwest. As thunderstorms become likely by late afternoon, some storms could reach severe limits in an environment containing moderate instability and ample wind fields. Severe weather may be more prevalent in northern locations where stronger winds will further enhance storm organization. High temperatures in the mid 80s will be around normal. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/... Cold front will be over the southern part of the CWA this evening, before traveling across the Ohio River tonight. Thunderstorms, some possibly severe, will continue early tonight in southern counties, until daytime instability wanes, and frontal forcing diminishes. For Saturday, an area of high pressure is forecast to move in on a northwest flow aloft, bringing mostly sunny and dry weather. Cold advection will allow below normal highs in the upper 70s. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... Northwest flow with surface high pressure building across the region Sunday. This high will provide dry weather with highs generally in the lower 80s. Southerly flow on the back side of the high will result in an increase in moisture. Will show chance pops for thunderstorms Monday with the best chance across the north, closer to an east-west oriented frontal boundary. Temperatures will be a little warmer with highs Monday from the lower 80s north to the mid 80s south. The chance for showers and thunderstorms will increase Tuesday and Wednesday as the front drops south across the region toward mid week. Highs Tuesday and Wednesday will be generally in the mid 80s. Model solutions differ on timing but show a wave pushing through the Great Lakes Thursday and the front slipping south of the Ohio River by the end of the week. Uncertainty increases due to model solution spread but this front will keep the threat of showers and thunderstorms in the forecast. Temperatures look to continue close to normal with highs generally in the mid 80s Thursday and Friday. && .AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... A line of showers and thunderstorms continue to approach the TAF sites this afternoon ahead of a mid level shortwave. During the afternoon this line of showers and thunderstorms will dive southeast and affect the TAF sites (except KCVG/ KLUK). The outflow from these storms can then be seen extending northwest towards Lake Michigan (seen on GOES R). It is likely that the ongoing convection currently just southeast of Lake Michigan will likely dive southeast towards KCVG/ KLUK. In the line of showers and thunderstorms gusts of 30 to 50 kts will be possible with restrictions in visibilities to LIFR. The second line will likely clear the TAF sites this evening. A cold front will then dive southeast through the TAF sites late this evening with high pressure slowly building in from the north. High res guidance continues to also advertise restricted visibilities/fog near the Indiana/ Ohio state line Saturday morning which looks likely given the wet ground and light winds. Have added a mention of fog into KLUK for now with restrictions in visibilities possibly needed at KCVG and KDAY. Saturday morning after any fog lifts, northwest winds with VFR conditions can be expected. OUTLOOK...No significant weather is expected. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. KY...None.
