Area forecast discussion, Jul 6, 3:25 PM EDT, 2 hours 45 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Wilmington OH 325 PM EDT Sat Jul 6 2019 .SYNOPSIS... A cold front will move through this evening into tonight. There will be some lingering thunderstorms into Sunday before high pressure and dry conditions move in for Monday. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/... Showers and thunderstorms will continue to develop into the evening hours as a cold front approaches and moves through the region. The environment is not that supportive of widespread severe weather with DCAPE values only around 600 to 700. Cannot rule out an isolated strong to severe storm where damaging winds would be the primary threat. In addition, some heavy rain will be likely and could lead to isolated flooding concerns. Activity will decrease late in the overnight, however models are indicating residual moisture and have stratus developing across the region. Will have to watch for some fog potential in areas that receive heavy rain today. There are some heat index values in the middle to upper 90s and a few 100s across the region. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... Additional precipitation is expected to develop during the day on Sunday especially across southern and southeastern portions of the area. There is some instability as well and therefore have thunder mention in the forecast. Precipitation will taper off Sunday evening leaving dry conditions by the end of the short term. Sunday will be a little cooler with high temperatures in the low to middle 80s. Temperatures Sunday night are expected to drop down into the 60s. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... Monday through Tuesday, a mid-level ridge will develop across the Ohio Valley as surface high pressure centers itself over the Great Lakes. Result should be dry and slightly less humid conditions. Latest GFS does indicate light qpf up the Scioto Valley on Tuesday, but feel GFS is returning moisture too quickly and solution was discounted. Ridge flattens out by Wednesday as troughing moves into the Upper Midwest. Models show agreement/consistency with moisture return and some instability by Wednesday, therefore a chance of showers and thunderstorms returns to the forecast. Will continue chance of convection Wednesday night with the approach of a cold front, which is progged to move through on Thursday. Behind the front, Friday and Saturday both look dry as high pressure builds in. The warmest day of the long term looks to be on Wednesday ahead of the cold front, with upper 80s to lower 90s across the CWA. Otherwise, temperatures will generally favor near climatology for the long term. && .AVIATION /19Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be around this afternoon and evening as a cold front approaches and moves through the region. Activity will decrease for second half of the night, however then some fog will be possible. In addition moisture from the front hangs around and therefore expect some stratus development as well that will last into Sunday daytime morning hours. Additional showers and some thunderstorms will develop during the day on Sunday. Handled this for now with a VCSH mention. OUTLOOK...Thunderstorms are possible on Sunday. Thunderstorms are possible again on Wednesday. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. KY...None.
