Area forecast discussion, Jun 10, 5:43 PM EDT, 1 hour 4 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Wilmington OH 543 PM EDT Wed Jun 10 2020 .SYNOPSIS... Surface trough continues to head east through the Great Lakes today, providing thunderstorms and gusty winds. High pressure builds in from the mid Mississippi Valley Thursday, bringing cooler and drier air. Dry cold front on Friday reinforces cool and dry conditions heading into the weekend. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/... update... Convection becoming linear as it moves into central Ohio with an enhanced bowing segment (high end wind event) moving thru Madison county. This activity will continue to push across the Columbus metro area with wind gusts up to 75 mph in the next hour. This activity has developed along the convergent wind axis...where moderate instability exists. Have dropped watch across eastern Indiana behind the wind shift line where drier air is advecting into the area. Winds will gust up to 40 mph outside of storms. Previous discussion.. Convection expected to increase in coverage and intensity this evening as convergent boundary/surface trough heads east into an unstable airmass (SBCAPE near 2500-3000). Bulk shear values rising to 45-50 knots support supercells, especially western half of forecast area. Hodographs are mostly straight, so expecting damaging winds as the primary threat, though a few taller cores could produce large hail. In addition, if discrete cells congeal into a linear mode, a few QLCS tornadoes are possible as 0-3km bulk shear values approach 40-45 knots from the southwest. Low level moisture drops quickly behind the trough, so PoPs have been trimmed heading into the later evening hours. Some guidance paints potential for light precip in northern areas late tonight as the mid level trough swings through, though most do not, so stayed dry with just an increase in clouds which clear out around sunrise. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... Surface high pressure brings temperatures back just below normal with low humidity through the period. Highs should stay below 80 degrees, with lows in the upper 50s to near 60. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... Northwest flow aloft with surface high pressure offering a mainly dry day on Friday. Expect temperatures close to normal with highs on Friday in the upper 70s to lower 80s. Back door type weakening cold front and a shortwave which drop south, could lead to a few showers late Friday night into Saturday across the far northeast counties. Low amplitude mid level trough over the Great Lakes to amplify with closed low developing this weekend. Uncertainty exists on exactly where the low closes off. Consensus forecast closes this low over the Eastern Great Lakes. While the ECMWF continues to be further west, the 12Z deterministic run has trended a little east. Will limit pops to slight chance of a shower Sunday and Monday with the best chance in the east. Pattern changes with mid level ridge building into the area thru the middle of next week. Model solutions differ on how fast the ridge builds into the area. Will limit pops to slight chance/chance categories -- mainly in the afternoon/evening, Monday thru Wednesday. Temperatures to warm thru the period with highs in the mid 80s by Wednesday. && .AVIATION /22Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... Main impact to aviation during the TAF period will be thunderstorm development and winds. Based on high-res guidance becoming more clustered, confidence is increasing on timing of storms over the TAF sites. Outside a few isolated storms, main development will be with main line, beginning in DAY/CVG/LUK at 20Z, ILN at 21Z, then CMH/LCK at 22Z. Accommodated for potential severity of storms with 2 mile visibility during tempo group, but will need to amend to bring in strong wind gusts as they more closely approach. Wouldn't be surprised to see gusts to at least 35 knots with storms in the developing line, and a few gusts to 50 knots are likely in the stronger storms. Outside of storms, wind gusts out of the south to 25-30 knots may produce impacts in some locations. Expecting direction to shift to southwesterly, then westerly late this evening after the line moves through. Gusts will also decrease late tonight. A brief period of MVFR ceilings are possible late tonight, but still relatively low confidence here. Otherwise, VFR conditions will dominate the Thursday portion of the TAF period. OUTLOOK...MVFR CIGS possible Saturday. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. KY...None. IN...None. && SYNOPSIS...Hogue NEAR TERM...Hogue/AR SHORT TERM...Hogue LONG TERM...AR AVIATION...Hogue
