Area forecast discussion, May 10, 1:21 PM EDT, 2 hours 11 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Wilmington OH 121 PM EDT Sun May 10 2020 .SYNOPSIS... Low pressure will track east through southern Michigan today, bringing a chance of showers and thunderstorms. High pressure in the Great Plains will keep a cool and northerly flow over the Ohio Valley through the early part of next week. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... Well defined mid level shortwave over the Upper Mississippi Valley to track southeast thru the Southern Great Lakes today. Modest Low level moisture is advected into the area ahead of an associated sfc cold front. Thermal fields are limiting factor with a ribbon of surface dewpoints increasing to the mid and perhaps upper 40s. These sfc Td/s combine with temperatures around 60. Although low level theta-e is limited, anomalously cold temperatures aloft and mid level lapse rates of 8 deg c/km or more, yield marginal CAPE values into the area this aftn. HREF probabilities of 500 J/g are 60 to 70 percent. Given this setup and bulk shear of around 40 kts -- expect an environment favorable for low topped convection. Some discrete cells possible early this aftn, then evolving into a broken linear feature. Expect main threat to be strong to damaging wind gusts with some marginally severe hail also possible. CAM solutions pointing to two arcs of pcpn with the second axis ahead of the front associated with the marginal instby. Timing for this potential severe weather looks to be from 17Z to 22Z or 1 PM to 6 PM. Convection looks to weaken as it pushes east thru Central Ohio. Will continue to highlight this severe weather threat in the HWO product. Pressure gradient will increase with the approaching low and diurnal mixing which will yield max wind gusts of 35 to 40 mph. Temperatures remain below normal with highs in the upper 50s to lower 60s. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/... The bulk of the convection will be trying to exit the eastern portions of the fa at the beginning of the period, but scattered showers will be lingering across the region as the s/w axis swings through the eastern Great Lakes tonight. Expect a decrease in the showers from southwest to northeast after midnight. Lows will drop back to between 35 and 40 degrees. Persistent northwest flow aloft and cold advection will keep clouds across the region on Monday. There could be a few lingering showers in Central Ohio during the morning hours. Breezy conditions will linger on Monday. Highs will be about 20 degrees below normal, ranging from the upper 40s to lower 50s. A spot or two in the Cinci Tri-State could make the mid 50s. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... Upper trough residing over the Eastern CONUS will continue to dictate weather conditions during the beginning of the long term. Later in the period the pattern changes as a broad upper ridge featuring increasing geopotential heights takes over. For Monday night, dry air will be circulating around high pressure centered to the south, allowing no precipitation. Under partly cloudy skies, frost is likely to form near dawn as temperatures fall into the 30s in the persistently chilly airmass. Expect no precip through Tuesday night as the high moves toward the East Coast. The high will reach the coast Wednesday, while a ridge aloft builds across the Ohio Valley. Threat for showers returns Wednesday afternoon in the increasingly humid flow behind the high. A front is then forecast to develop over the Great Lake before sliding to Ohio. Being roughly parallel to the mid level flow, the boundary will travel gradually, allowing a threat for showers and thunderstorms to last from Wednesday night through Saturday, aided by several ripples of short wave energy. As geopotential heights increase to normal and above, a warming trend will be observed. Expect highs in the upper 50s Tuesday, rising to the low 60s Wednesday, the 70s Thursday and Friday, with 80 attainable on Saturday. && .AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... Surface low pressure over Southern Lower Michigan to track east across the Southern Great Lakes today and tonight. A thin ribbon of marginal instability will develop along and ahead of a southward trailing cold front. A period of showers and thunderstorms will impact this TAF sites as this front pushes east across the area this aftn. The best time for storms will be from 19Z to 22Z and some of the storms will contain strong to damaging winds. Marginal severe hail will also be possible with some of the stronger updrafts. In addition to the wind gusts from the thunderstorms, the gradient will increase allowing for wind gusts up to 30 kts outside of storms. The convection will push east of the TAF sites by 00Z and low level CAA will develop in the wake of the cold front. A mid level shortwave rotating thru the area and surface trof will keep a chance of showers going across the KCMH and KLCK into tonight. Stratocumulus and MVFR ceilings will develop across all TAF sites overnight. A period of IFR ceilings is also likely at KCMH/KLCK late tonight into early Monday morning. Winds will stay up overnight with westerly gusts of 20 to 25 kts. OUTLOOK...MVFR ceilings to linger into Monday. Thunderstorms possible Wednesday night into Thursday. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. KY...None.
