Area forecast discussion, May 10, 4:02 PM EDT, 3 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Wilmington OH 402 PM EDT Sun May 10 2020 .SYNOPSIS... Low pressure will track east through the southern Great Lakes tonight, bringing a chance of showers and thunderstorms this evening. A few lingering showers will be possible overnight into early Monday as an upper level disturbance rotates through the area. Surface high pressure building across the Ohio Valley will offer cool and dry weather later Monday and Tuesday. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/... Well defined mid level shortwave evident on water vapor imagery over Southern Wisconsin to track east thru the Southern Great Lakes tonight. Modest Low level moisture along with a break in the clouds has led to a thin axis of marginal instability across eastern Indiana and western Ohio this aftn -- with SB CAPE values up to 500 J/KG. Anomalously cold temperatures aloft and mid level lapse rates of 8 deg c/km or more, has led to a favorable environment for low topped convection. These storms have been efficient wind producers. Broken line of showers and thunderstorms which is moving into western Ohio was producing strong and damaging wind gusts. This line will continue to produce strong to damaging winds for the next hour or so and then weaken some as it moves further east across central Ohio. Have continued to highlight this severe weather threat in the HWO product. Storms to end late this aftn/very early evening with the passage of the sfc cold front. Pressure gradient will increase with the wind gusts of 35 to 40 mph after the pcpn ends into the early evening. A mid level shortwave rotating thru the area and surface trof will keep a chance of showers going across the northern counties tonight. Chilly lows will drop back to between 35 and 40 degrees. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... Mid level shortwave, low level cyclonic flow and 8H thermal trof of -5 deg C, will lead to considerable cloudiness on Monday. A few lingering showers possible, mainly over the northeast counties early. Highs will be about 20 degrees below normal, ranging from the upper 40s northeast to mid 50s southwest. Northwest flow aloft with the center of surface high pressure building across KY/TN Monday night. Expect a decrease in clouds Monday evening. Under partly cloudy skies, frost is likely with the potential for freezing temperatures north by Tuesday morning. Expect Monday nights lows to range from the lower 30s northeast to the mid 30s southwest. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... Surface high pressure will be in place on Tuesday to start off a longer term pattern of warming temperatures and increasing moisture. On Tuesday, temperatures are expected to moderate 5-10 degrees over Monday's highs. However, temperatures still remain below average with highs in the upper 50s. Tuesday night remains chilly for mid May with lows around 40 near the Ohio River and middle 30s across central Ohio. Frost may be possible just east of Columbus if the sky remains mostly clear. Fair weather continues into Wednesday while the surface high moves east and upper level ridging builds. Southerly flow will develop west of the high during the day allowing moisture to increase and temperatures to moderate closer to normal. Forecast highs reach into the low 60s. Rain chances increase later on Wednesday into Wednesday night as warm air advection develops aloft and a warm front pushes north through the area. Rain chances increases from south to north with the highest likelihood of showers and thunderstorms north of I-70. Lows are only expected to be near 50 due to southerly flow advecting warm air and moisture into the Ohio Valley. The chance for showers and thunderstorms will then remain in the forecast through Sunday with a relatively warm and humid air mass in place and a boundary draped across the region. Expect highs to warm up a bit each day with highs possibly reaching 80 by Saturday. A cold frontal passage is then possible around the Sunday/Monday time frame. && .AVIATION /19Z 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.
