Area forecast discussion, Jun 24, 2:58 PM EDT, 2 hours 13 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Wilmington OH 258 PM EDT Mon Jun 24 2019 .SYNOPSIS... Strong weather disturbance will drive a cold front through the Ohio Valley tonight with widespread showers and storms out in front. Some of these may be severe. Clearing skies expected in the wake of the front with a mix of sun and clouds on Tuesday. A weak front will drop into the Great Lakes on Wednesday afternoon and evening with a threat for scattered storms as a warm and humid airmass takes hold of the Ohio Valley. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Please reference recent SPC SWODY1 and SWOMCDs for the ILN area for larger scale thinking of the severe weather threats. More specifically - as of 18Z threats are just starting to materialize as previously discussed in the morning AFD update. Weak low level circulation over southern KY continues to slowly develop and enhance low to mid level shear profiles to our south. In fact, discrete cells /now tor-warned/ in central KY area are manifestation of the enhanced SRH and deep shear profile that is in place attendant to this migrating wave. Expect this environment to spread into and through the ILN CWA in the 3P-7P timeframe - primarily through the SVR Watch area. So while the overall shear/instability profile is more toward wind damage threats with amalgamating cold pools /like what is currently moving through south-central Ohio as of 1845Z/, there's enough of a push of low level flow through northeast KY and south- central OH where any discrete cell or favorably orthogonal line segment to the low level shear vector to rotate and produce a brief tornado in the 3P-7P timeframe as it moves south to north. A good dose of convective rains expected with the deeper convection pushing up the Scioto Valley too. There is some concern for localized flash flooding with this activity should it repeat over similar areas /especially considering flash-flood prone terrain in this area and recent anomalous wet spell we've been in/. Storm motions should be progressive however which should limit flash flood potential in time and space. Most concern is Hocking/Ross/Pike/Scioto/Lewis/Mason counties for that threat. Further west - it was noted on the collaboration call with SPC /and we agree/ that the western fringe of severe potential is tough to diagnose but in general feel that I-71 from Columbus to Cincinnati is a realistic demarcation from no threat to some marginal threat, with the better relative threat in that corridor in the Columbus area. Across northern KY south of CVG, just not enough destabilization plus this area will quickly get on the backside of the low level circulation passing by to the east. West of I-71 in Ohio/eastern Indiana - just too stable and this area not likely even to see much thunder owing to thick clouds and temperatures which have actually leveled off or fallen a little this afternoon. Things will wind down quickly early this evening. Likely a several-hour dry period between exiting precipitation shield in the eastern CWA to inbound frontal-forced showers later this evening and early overnight. This will be in a weakening state owing to veering profile in the boundary layer reducing convergence - and entering the stability maximum from afternoon rains. && .SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... Quiet weather as high pressure builds into the Ohio Valley. Before the drier atmosphere completely builds into the ILN CWA /PWATS below 1"/ there are hints that there may be just enough early afternoon diurnal instability to pop a shower or two in southern Ohio before mixing of low level dewpoints toward the later afternoon hours reduces instability. Overwhelming signal in NWP is dry - so will keep any showers out of the forecast for right now with the expectation that this will max out as some taller cumulus. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... A weak surface front will nose into the northern CWA from the Great Lakes region as a wave of mid level energy translates east in the mean westerly flow aloft. A shower may present itself about any time during the day with a more robust shower or thunderstorm more likely with peak daytime heating. The upper forcing is east of the area by the time peak heating occurs, and the surface front is quite diffuse, leading to a late day threat that should tail off quickly in the evening. High pressure at the surface will build in as heights increase aloft, limiting any shower activity through early Friday to be very widely scattered if they present themselves. Models are indicating an upper level disturbance to work into the Ohio Valley from the west-northwest on Friday and dissipate as it stretches out over the Ohio River Saturday. This feature may combine with daytime heating to pop a few storms but the airmass it is working into is not as receptive to storm development. Expect isolated to widely scattered pop-up storms to be possible in the late day through Saturday, diminishing just as rapidly in the evening for a generally dry overnight period everywhere. The upper forcing gets shunted southwest as the ridge in the mid section of the country builds and a stronger upper low in New England pulls energy into the Ohio Valley from the north behind a surface cold front. Models show a large swing in the chance of precipitation during this time but have a general good agreement on the broader features. Have a low chance of thunderstorms that are not necessarily diurnally driven from Sunday onward. Models have increased temperatures slightly through the period and are generally looking for lows in the upper 60s to near 70 and highs approaching 90. Dropped readings on Sunday by a few degrees and only have highs in the low to mid 80s on Monday following the cold front. Overnight lows will be from 65-70 through the period and be fairly uniform across the CWA. && .AVIATION /19Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... Widespread showers will cross the TAF sites this afternoon into early evening. While a thunderstorms and associated brief restrictions to IFR are possible just about at all the TAF sites, the better relative likelihood will be at LCK/LUK/CMH and perhaps ILN. Have included prevailing showers with MVFR restrictions at all sites, and hit visibilities the hardest in TEMPO at LCK/CMH/LUK where the best chance of some heavier activity will occur. This precipitation will exit by 00Z in central Ohio - a little earlier at DAY/CVG/ILN/LUK. Winds will mostly be from the southwest, but some local variation to the west/northwest will occur in the wake of a weak low pressure which ripples northeast into central Ohio this evening. Thus, wind forecasts later this afternoon and evening are of lower confidence in both speed and direction. Secondary band of showers on the cold front itself will spread into the area later this evening and early in the overnight. Don't expect coverage will be high enough to mention beyond a VCSH at CVG/DAY. Expect these to be rapidly weakening. Should be some clearing overnight outside the band of showers. Some light gusts of westerly wind under a mix of clouds and sun on Tuesday with no flight restrictions expected.
