Area forecast discussion, Jun 21, 2:41 PM EDT, 43 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Wilmington OH 241 PM EDT Sun Jun 21 2020 .SYNOPSIS... Occasional chances for showers and thunderstorms will continue early this week as a series of upper level disturbance move through the Ohio Valley. Drier conditions are expected Wednesday into Thursday as high pressure builds into the region. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... MCV evident on both radar and satellite imagery moving east along the Indiana/Kentucky border this afternoon. The airmass across our area has destabilized fairly nicely with sbcapes up around 2000 J/KG. The main axis of showers and storms ahead of the MCV is pivoting up across southwest portions of our fa attm and expect this to continue to work northeast across our area through late afternoon/early evening. DCAPEs out ahead of this are in the 1000-1200 J/KG range, so some locally damaging wind gusts will be possible despite the somewhat weaker wind fields aloft. Otherwise, as the MCV works slowly east overnight, occasional showers and some embedded thunderstorms will remain possible into the overnight hours. With PWs in the 1.75 inch range, some locally heavy rainfall will also be possible. && .SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... On the back side of the shortwave, some subsidence will develop across our area through the day on Monday and will try to keep pops on the low side through the daytime period. Highs on Monday will be in the mid 80s. The chance for showers and thunderstorms will then spread back in from the west Monday night as another mid level short wave lifts northeast across the Ohio Valley. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... Broad/large-scale cyclonic flow will envelop the Great Lakes region Tuesday into midweek as a pronounced mid/upper level low meanders north of the Great Lakes through Thursday. An embedded vort max will be pulling east of the ILN FA early Tuesday morning as a cold front slowly sags southeast through the daytime period across the Ohio Valley. The approach of a yet another distinct S/W on Tuesday afternoon from the southwest will allow for the southward progression of the front to be stunted a bit during the daytime period, which will allow for continued shower/storm chances -- especially southeast of the I-71 corridor -- by the afternoon once again. Drier air will be filtering in from the north rather slowly until the S/W energy finally moves east Tuesday evening and the front is able to clear the entire local area through the overnight period into Wednesday morning. With all of this being said, the greatest forcing on Tuesday may end up being centered just south/east of the local area, lending itself to some uncertainty into exactly how widespread (or not) any convection will be near/southeast of I-71 in the warm sector ahead of the southeast- progressing frontal boundary. The front will likely be characterized by a broad wind shift from SW to more WNW through the late afternoon/evening, so the degree of low level convergence/focus for ascent along the boundary itself remains somewhat in question. Will maintain likely PoPs near/east of the I-71 corridor, but coverage of storms may end up being more scattered opposed to numerous. But still plenty of time to hammer out the details for Tuesday afternoon. There remains high confidence in a return to drier/cooler air for Wednesday and Thursday, but with some embedded energy and a subtle secondary trof axis pivoting around the base of the broad midlevel cyclonic flow through the Ohio Valley, suppose a slight chance of a diurnally-driven shower cannot be completely ruled out for Wednesday. Model guidance remains in fairly good agreement showing the development of a warm front to the south of the area early Friday as a S/W digs across the upper Midwest. This front will likely drift north into the area at some point on Friday, leading to a return of warm/moist air by this upcoming weekend as a broad midlevel cyclone organizes across the Midwest. Given the pattern signal in the ensembles, feel reasonably confident even at these time ranges in a return of a stormier pattern for next weekend with the influx of seasonably warm/humid air back into the region. These types of patterns are almost always dictated by modulations in the mesoscale environment from one part of the day to another, so it is difficult at this time to pinpoint one particular time window for favored storm activity. Nevertheless, could very well see episodic thunderstorms for next weekend across at least a portion of the local area as highs again creep back toward 90 degrees and lows only drop to around 70 degrees. && .AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... Mid level short wave energy is pushing east across the mid Ohio Valley this afternoon. Out ahead of this, an axis of showers and thunderstorms is pivoting northeast toward our area with more isolated thunderstorms further northeast ahead of it. The main axis of thunderstorms should rotate up across our area through mid to late afternoon, with some periods of MVFR to possibly IFR cigs and vsbys possible with the stronger cells, along with some stronger wind gusts. Once this initial area of pcpn moves through, we will then likely see some periods of showers and embedded thunderstorms persist into tonight as the short wave moves slowly east across the region. This will allow for prevailing cigs to fall into MVFR and eventually IFR category overnight, along with occasional MVFR vsbys. Pcpn should taper off from the southwest later tonight into early Monday as we get on the back side of the system, with cigs gradually lifting through MVFR to VFR late in the TAF period.
