AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wilmington OH
429 PM EDT Sat Aug 1 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure will track northeast across the region tonight.
Weak high pressure will build in Sunday. Another weak low and
cold front will move through the area early next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
Showers and thunderstorms will continue to move across the area
this afternoon into the evening as low pressure tracks northeast
into the Whitewater Valley. Better wind fields and shear will be
across the southeast counties. And although storms have been
passing across that area already, expect some recovery in
instability before the day is through. So there will remain the
potential of damaging wind as well as a tornado.

Showers and storms will decrease in coverage heading through the
night as instability diminishes and the low continues into west
central Ohio. Lows will generally be in the mid to upper 60s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
Trough trailing surface low will cross the region during the
day. Some additional showers and thunderstorms will be possible
as this swings through. Precipitation will diminish by evening.
But there are some indications that a few showers could occur in
moist southerly flow across western counties overnight. Highs
will be in the mid 70s to lower 80s and lows will be in the
lower to mid 60s.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
An upper level disturbance will bring showers and thunderstorms to
the region on Monday.  Precipitation chances will continue Monday
night into Tuesday as a frontal boundary moves through the region.

After the passage of this frontal boundary expect mostly dry
conditions for the remainder of the long term.  With CAA on
Wednesday increased cloud cover to account for cu formation.

Temperatures on Thursday will start a slight warming trend that will
continue through the remainder of the long term.  A system will
begin to approach late in the long term on Saturday.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Showers and thunderstorms will move across the region during the
early part of the TAF period. These will bring temporary MVFR
conditions if they affect any of the terminals. Have used TEMPO
to designate an initial period when there is a greater chance of
storms, but chance will extend past 00Z.

Abundant low level moisture will result in MVFR to IFR ceilings
developing, generally after 04Z. Low clouds will then persist
through the remainder of the TAF period, with some breaks
developing towards 18Z. A weak boundary will move across the
region causing winds to shift from south to southwest.

OUTLOOK...MVFR ceilings may linger into Sunday afternoon.
Thunderstorms will be possible at times Monday through Tuesday.
