AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wilmington OH
635 AM EDT Tue May 19 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
An upper level low pressure system will move south of the Ohio
Valley on Tuesday. A chance for showers will then linger
through much of the week as the upper level low slowly drifts
across the Tennessee Valley.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
An upper-level low continues to meander southward out of
central Indiana into western Kentucky and Tennessee. A broad
area of low pressure underneath of the low has resulted in the
development of a low-level convergent boundary over the Ohio
Valley that has been the focus for rainfall early this morning.
Convergence at the nose of a developing low-level jet has also
contributed to moisture convergence leading to heavy rainfall.
The heaviest rainfall so far has been observed over the
Columbus metro where 2-4+ inches of rain has fallen since Monday
afternoon. Flash flooding has been observed.

Continued shower activity is expected in the Columbus metro
through the early morning. Rainfall is forecast to then
decrease in coverage over the Columbus area later this morning
and then slowly decrease in intensity during the day.

Another area of focus has developed over the Cincinnati metro.
As sunrise has approached, a band of showers has increased in
intensity along the western end of a strengthening low-level
jet. This band of showers may pivot around the Tri-State which
could lead to very heavy localized rainfall around sunrise.
Flash Flood warnings have already been issued and the situation
will continue to be monitored. There is also concern that
prolonged heavy rainfall may occur in the Tri-State into the
late morning as the LLJ strengthens and curves due to a
strengthening pressure gradient.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
The chance for showers continues Tuesday night into Wednesday in the
saturated low-level environment northeast of the upper-level low.
The greatest chance for shower activity will be near the Ohio River
in the vicinity of the nose of a LLJ.

Temperatures will remain below average with lows near 50 on Tuesday
night and highs near 60 on Wednesday with an easterly wind.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
Shower chances continue Wednesday night into Thursday night
northeast of the persistent upper-level low. The probability for
showers is highest closer to the center of the cutoff low near the
Ohio River. Temperatures will remain below average with easterly
surface winds.

The upper-level low is finally forecast to breakdown around Thursday
night and become more of an open wave as more zonal upper-level flow
returns on Friday. Showers and thunderstorms are possible on Friday
as the remnant trough is swept through the Ohio Valley. There may be
some low to moderate instability when this occurs, but shear is
forecast to be weak.

Much warmer temperatures are forecast to return to the Ohio Valley
on Saturday as upper-level ridging builds in. Highs near or above 80
can be expected by then with repeated chances for showers and
thunderstorms in the warm and humid airmass.

&&

.AVIATION /10Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
An upper-level low continues to slowly meander southward out of
central Indiana into western Kentucky and Tennessee. Showers are
impacting the TAF sites in the Ohio Valley east of the upper-level
low. A mix of IFR/MVFR ceilings and MVFR visibilities can be
expected in these showers.

Showers are then expected to decrease in intensity later Tuesday
morning while coverage slowly decreases. Despite shower intensity
decreasing, IFR ceilings are still probable across the western TAF
sites (KCVG, KILN, and KDAY) and MVFR ceilings are likely in the
east (KCMH and KLCK) due to the abundance of low-level moisture.

Easterly winds will continue to increase during the daytime.
Sustained winds will range from 10-15 knots with gusts upwards of 25
knots by the afternoon.

OUTLOOK... MVFR to IFR ceilings and visibilities are possible
Tuesday night into Thursday.
