Area forecast discussion, Aug 7, 4:03 PM EDT, 8 hours 3 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wilmington OH 403 PM EDT Tue Aug 7 2018 .SYNOPSIS... Multiple disturbances will work through the region through tomorrow allowing for showers and thunderstorms across the region. Mostly dry conditions are expected on Thursday, however an upper level low will keep off and on precipitation chances in place for the weekend. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/... Thunderstorms will be slower to develop across northwestern portions of the forecast area where there has been more cloud cover from the MCV. Across southern and up into central portions of the region where there were more breaks in the clouds thunderstorms have developed. Dcape values are not overly high, however still expect the potential for some damaging winds. In addition, there are high precipitable water values and given storm trajectory there will be the potential for heavy rainfall and also a flash flood potential. Activity will decrease late in the evening tonight, however this break or decrease will be short lived as an upper level disturbance approaches late in the overnight hours. This will allow for an area of showers and thunderstorms to develop and move into the region. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... Showers and thunderstorms will be ongoing at the start of the short term. There will then be a decrease in precipitation after the initial disturbance moves through. Another weaker disturbance will move through later in the day keeping at least some thunderstorms in the forecast. Precipitation will gradually taper off overnight. Went close to guidance for temperatures through the short term. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... As we head into the latter part of the work week, the upper level pattern will show a persistent ridge over the western CONUS, with mid level troughing continuing across eastern Canada and extending into the Great Lakes/Ohio Valley region. On Thursday, a weak boundary will be near our southern CWFA. This may keep a small shower/storm threat across our south, otherwise, most of the region will be dry. As we head into Friday, a weak frontal boundary will begin to drop south into the Great Lakes, bringing a chance of showers/storms to the entire region. For the weekend and into early next week, the upper level ridge out west is forecast to amplify as it pokes northeast into south central Canada. The subsequent downstream result will be a developing closed low across the Great Lakes. This will keep the chance of showers/storms going, with the best chance tied too the diurnal cycle, i.e., mid afternoon into early evening. The upper closed low may get a kicker from the west to nudge it east as we head into Tuesday, if this occurs, a brief period of s/wv ridging should develop in the wake of the departing upper level low on Tuesday, providing a return to dry weather. As for temperatures, highs in the lower to mid 80s will be common into the end of the week, followed by more upper 70s to lower 80s for the weekend into Monday. A slight rebound should occur by Tuesday. Lows will be mainly in the 60s. && .AVIATION /20Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... Remnant of an MCV is situated just west of KDAY. Cu have started to develop to the south and east of this feature. Expect thunderstorms to develop through the afternoon and into the early evening hours. Visibilities and cigs will be reduced at times with this activity. Precipitation will taper off to showers before dissipating later this evening. An upper level disturbance will bring an area of showers and thunderstorms to the region late in the overnight hours and into the morning daytime hours on Wednesday. MVFR and possibly IFR cigs will accompany this precipitation as well. MVFR cigs will linger into the day on Wednesday. OUTLOOK...Thunderstorms possible into Wednesday afternoon and then again Friday and Saturday. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. KY...None. IN...None. && SYNOPSIS...Novak NEAR TERM...Novak SHORT TERM...Novak LONG TERM...Hickman AVIATION...Novak
