Area forecast discussion, Jun 8, 2:00 PM EDT, 19 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wilmington OH
200 PM EDT Fri Jun 8 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
A surface boundary will be stalled across the region into the
weekend. Weak disturbances will combine with the increased
humidity and could trigger some thunderstorms at any time. Warm
and humid conditions will continue through the weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
A weak boundary remains located across central Ohio this morning
with the 12z KILN soundings revealing PWATs of 1.39". The k
index is also around 37. The latest runs of the HRRR, ARW, and
NMM continue to show convection across the area this afternoon.
This makes sense given the boundary, abundant moisture, and
afternoon destabilization. Have gone ahead and kept the likely
PoPs given the above. New zones already out.

Prev Discussion->
A weak surface boundary has worked into the nw portion of the
area. The boundary will continue to sag down into the area
during the day, setting up around the I-70 corridor. Meanwhile,
in the nw flow aloft, a series of vort maxes will slip across
the area today. The combination of the features will kick off
scattered showers and thunderstorms and the atmosphere
destabilizes during the day. It is looking like the best
coverage will be around the Whitewater Valley and into the
Miami Valley. Models are showing slightly drier air in nrn KY,
so have slightly lower chances there.

High temperatures today will range from the upper 80s in the
south to the lower 80s in the far north.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
The front will remain across the region tonight, but convection
will gradually decrease tonight with the loss of daytime
heating. Lows will only drop into the mid 60s. Scattered
showers and thunderstorms will be possible again on Saturday,
with the peak during the afternoon. Highs will be similar to
today, with highs ranging from the lower 80s in the north to the
upper 80s in the south.

By Sunday, the front is forecast to have sagged a little farther
south, into southern Ohio. Put the highest PoPs in the southern
half of the fa, but can't rule out something popping in the
northern counties. Temperatures will be slightly cooler, with
temperatures ranging from the upper 70s to mid 80s.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Heat and moisture return for Monday afternoon into Tuesday
night and then drying out for end of week. Trend is for
boundary to push south by Monday and thus have lowered pops
from previous forecast but left a small chance in for some
continuity and possible isolated nature based on model trends.
Models indicating quick return of heat and humidity by Monday
and Tuesday. Again expecting some widely scattered convection
with this scenario. New guidance indicating front pushing
through Tuesday night into Wednesday with scattered convection
followed by a slight cool down and lower dewpoints similar to
the past couple of days.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A frontal boundary remains stalled just north of Columbus to
Wapakoneta line with showers and thunderstorms forming along
the line. KLCK just gusted to 44 kts and with DCAPEs approaching
1000 J/kg think that the potential for gusty winds will
continue through the evening. The high res models are indicating
convection increasing in coverage through the afternoon along
the higher axis of moisture (near the boundary). This make sense
given the current placement of higher moisture, upper level
disturbance, and instability. Have gone ahead and introduced
tempo groups to account for this.

Later this evening convection will weaken as daytime heating is
lost, but the chance will continue though as a series of upper
level disturbances traverse the region.

OUTLOOK...Thunderstorms possible into Tuesday.
