AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wilmington OH
644 PM EST Wed Nov 25 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front trailing low pressure is bringing showers and
gusty winds tonight. High pressure moving from the west is
forecast to provide drier weather conditions on Thanksgiving.
Expect high pressure to keep dry weather across the Ohio Valley
on Friday and Saturday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
Surface low pressure is presently centered over Illinois as
suggested by earlier model runs. The low is forecast to exhibit
a weakening trend tonight as it tracks toward the Central Great
Lakes, near the path of a closed upper low. Widespread rain that
developed in deep moisture transport ahead of the low has moved
out. Rainfall totals up to 1.5 inches, close to model predictions,
have not caused any flooding.

A band of showers/isolated thunderstorms is forming to the west
near a cold front trailing the low. Parts of ILN remain in
marginal risk for severe weather this evening as some of those
showers/isolated storms have the potential to produce strong
convective wind gusts. Drier conditions should arrive after
midnight as winds shift to west behind the cold front.

After an evening high in the mid and upper 50s in warm
advection just ahead of the front, temperatures are forecast to
drop to the upper 40s later tonight in modest cold advection
following frontal passage.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
Surface high pressure traveling across Kentucky is expected to
bring dry weather on Thursday and Thursday night. Model
soundings are showing a very strong inversion around 4500 ft
that will trap low level moisture, resulting in cloudy skies
that could last through the short term. This will allow only a
slight rise in temperatures to the low and mid 50s Thursday
afternoon. Look for cooler lows in the upper 30s to lower 40s
Thursday night.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As high pressure moves east on Friday, weak s/wv energy will move
east across the Great Lakes. This will push a weak cold front
through the region. Dynamics remain to the north and the front is
some what moisture-starved, so a dry forecast will continue. Some
peeks of sun are expected. Highs will be in the 50s. Lows Friday
night will be in the 30s.

Surface high pressure will build into the Ohio Valley region on
Saturday, providing sunshine and slightly cooler temperatures. Highs
will range from 45 to 50.

We continue to monitor the forecast upper level pattern and the
subsequent surface pattern as we head into the second half of the
weekend into early next week. Northern stream energy with colder air
is still forecast to dig southeast into the Great Lakes. Meanwhile,
southern stream energy is also forecast to eject northeast from the
southern Plains into the Ohio Valley. How these two systems
interact/phase will be the key to potential impacts, particularly
the threat for snow and wind. As has been stated, there is still a
lot of time between now and Sunday/Monday for the models to come
into better agreement on storm system evolution. The signal is there
for a deepening surface low to affect the Ohio Valley and the
central Appalachians. This scenario would bring rain to the region
at first followed by a change over to snow as colder air is drawn
into the deepening system. This event could bring the first
accumulating snow of the season to our region and as such will have
to fine tune the forecast as we get closer. So, the forecast calls
for rain moving into the region late Sunday into Sunday night
followed by rain changing over to snow Monday into Monday night. The
system may occlude over the Great Lakes and spin in place for
awhile, thus keeping the threat for at least scattered snow showers
Tuesday into Tuesday night. These may end up lingering into the
middle of next week if the mid level flow becomes "blocky." Highs in
the 50s on Sunday will tumble into highs in the 30s by early next
week. Lows will eventually cool down into the 20s.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Band of showers with embedded thunder are entering the western
TAF sites over the next 30 minutes to an hour. Brief period of
heavy rainfall will occur with this line with MVFR VIS expected.
Gusty winds between 30-40 knots have also been observed with
this line. The line will continue eastward affecting all TAF
sites over the next couple of hours.

Beyond the line, MVFR CIGs are forecast through the rest of the
night with initially gusty winds becoming lighter by Thursday
morning. Expansive shield of clouds remains through the day on
Thursday with weak cold air advection providing plentiful low
level moisture leading to stratus development.

OUTLOOK...MVFR CIGs possibly linger into Friday evening.
