Area forecast discussion, Jul 23, 3:59 PM EDT, 1 hour 22 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wilmington OH
359 PM EDT Sun Jul 23 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will approach the region tonight and will then
move southeast across the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley on Monday.
High pressure will build into the area for Monday night and
Tuesday. Drier weather and cooler temperatures will ensue behind
the front. As the high moves east of the region on Wednesday,
more humid air will return as another frontal system is expected
to affect the region by late in the week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
A trof axis will move southeast across the region this evening.
This feature will be the focus for scattered showers and
thunderstorms. The prospect for severe weather along with
widespread heavy rain has diminished. Therefore, have cancelled
the FFA that was in effect until 8 pm EDT across our southern
zones.

For the overnight period, the trof will move away to our east
while a weak cold front approaches from the northwest. We should
at least scatter out the clouds. It is unclear whether stratus
may form in our eastern/southeastern CWFA and perhaps across our
far northwestern CWFA by morning. It does look like that some
fog formation will occur given light winds and plenty of
lingering soil moisture and high humidity, so have placed patchy
to areas of fog in the forecast. Overnight lows will range from
the mid to the upper 60s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
A cold front is expected to move southeast across the region on
Monday. Morning fog and/or stratus will be replaced by diurnally
driven cumuliform clouds by afternoon. The front should be
making its way across our far eastern and southern zones by
afternoon. Thus, there is a chance of showers and thunderstorms
developing along and ahead of this boundary before it clears our
area by Monday evening. Highs on Monday will range from near 80
north to the mid 80s south.

By Monday night, as the front moves south away from our area,
surface high pressure will begin to build southward into the
Great Lakes. This will bring drier air as well as seasonably
warm July temperatures by Tuesday.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Building surface high pressure will bring a respite to the Ohio
Valley with significantly lower dewpoints in the upper 50s to low
60s. Return flow will set up later in the day Wednesday, with a
return to middle and upper 60s dewpoints ahead of the next frontal
system. Moisture will pool on southwest winds through Thursday, when
lower 70s dewpoints are found ahead of the next cold front.

Later in the day Thursday  and overnight is when the best chances
for the next round of thunderstorms occur with the frontal passage
and associated upper level trough. A secondary and stronger upper
trough will cross late Friday and early Saturday, but the atmosphere
behind the earlier frontal passage will not be receptive to the
development of storms and rain chances during this time remains at a
relative minima.

Temperatures Wednesday will warm to the upper 80s to around 90 in
the sunny and dry airmass. Cloud cover should hamper high
temperatures on Thursday by a few degrees from Wednesdays highs,
with the remainder of the week and Tuesday coming in right around
seasonal normals. Overnight lows will be near seasonal normals in
the lower 60s as well, with a maxima on Wednesday night in the upper
60s to around 70.

.AVIATION /20Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Scattered showers and some MVFR ceilings were occurring over
parts of the region early this afternoon. Focus now turns
toward a trof axis across northwest Ohio into northern Indiana
and whether additional showers/storms develop late this
afternoon.

That being said, have placed some VCTS/CB descriptors for the
KDAY/KCMH/KLCK for late this afternoon/early evening due to the
prospects of some scattered convection. Convection farther
south now looks to be isolated due to this area being worked
over from previous rainfall, and thus it is having a hard time
recovering heating wise due to extensive cloud cover.

For tonight, trof axis moves southeast as a weak cold front
approaches from the northwest. We should become at least partly
cloudy in between aforementioned systems. As winds become light,
along with lingering low level moisture, concern turns toward
the potential for stratus and/or fog development. Confidence is
higher for at least some MVFR/IFR/LIFR visbilities with lower
confidence for stratus formation. Stratus may form southeast of
the terminals where moisture will be more adequate in the
boundary layer, and then again behind the approaching cold
front.

On Monday, weak cold front will gradually move southeast across
the region. Any morning stratus/fog will lift to scattered to
broken cumuliform clouds. It still looks like enough instability
will develop in the afternoon for a chance of a shower/storm
along and ahead of the cold front, but this should occur
mainly south and east of the terminals.

Surface high pressure is forecast to build into the Great Lakes
and middle Ohio Monday night as the cold front moves away to the
south.

OUTLOOK...Thunderstorms will be possible Monday and Thursday.
