Area forecast discussion, Jun 3, 3:55 PM EDT, 3 hours 56 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Wilmington OH 355 PM EDT Wed Jun 3 2020 .SYNOPSIS... A frontal boundary will be the focus of thunderstorm activity through the evening hours. Additional disturbances will work through the region through Friday night. Cooler and drier conditions will be in place for the weekend and early next week. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/... A convergent boundary is in place around and just south of I-70. Thunderstorms are starting to develop along this boundary and expect additional development through the evening hours. Damaging winds and large hail will be the primarily threats with these storms. Also with the west to east orientation will have to watch for multiple storms moving across the same area and therefore cannot rule out some isolated flooding issues as well. Another disturbance will move through overnight keeping shower and thunderstorm chances in the forecast during this time. Cannot rule out an isolated severe wind gust with these storms as well. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... Additional thunderstorms are expected to develop during the day on Thursday. Expect this activity to be scattered in nature and increase through the afternoon. Isolated damaging wind gusts will be possible with these storms. Thunderstorm activity will decrease in activity during the overnight hours. Another warm day with temperatures in the 80s is expected. Temperatures on Thursday are not expected to be as warm as Wednesday due to additional cloud cover. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... More of the same is expected on Friday as a warm and humid airmass remains in place. Another cold front will approach from the northwest late in the day. This boundary, along with diurnal heating, and perhaps a disturbance aloft, will keep the threat for showers and thunderstorms in the forecast (scattered at this time). Highs will be mainly in the mid 80s. The upper level flow will amplify as we head into the weekend. As a long wave trough establishes itself across the western CONUS, a downstream mid level ridge will develop across the northern and central Plains. This in turn will develop northwest flow aloft over our region. Thus, the cold front will gradually move southeast through the area Friday night into Saturday, with a chance of showers and thunderstorms still a threat until frontal passage. After lows in the 60s, highs on Saturday will range from the lower to mid 80s. It looks like a little cooler and drier period is expected as we head into Saturday night into Sunday. Surface high pressure will ridge in from the north/northeast during the period (underneath the east side of the mid level ridge axis). Have kept highs in the upper 70s to the lower 80s on Sunday after lows mainly in the 50s. By early next week and into mid week, we will keep a watch on tropical weather (currently Tropical Cristobal in the Bay of Campeche) over the Gulf of Mexico. Current models suggest that this moisture/remnants will be advected northeast into the Ohio Valley as the mid level ridge pushes east of the region and the disturbed weather pulls up from the backside of the ridge and ahead of the next short wave/cold front in the mid level flow. Dry conditions Monday/Monday night will give way to a low chance of chance of showers/storms into the region for Tuesday. Better chances for showers and storms are expected with the combined features Tuesday night into Wednesday. After cool lows in the 50s on Monday, highs will modify into the lower to mid 80s. Modification will continue into Tuesday with increasing humidity. Humid but cooler temperatures are forecast for Wednesday due to clouds and a higher rain threat. && .AVIATION /20Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... Convergent boundary just south of I-70 will be the focus of thunderstorm development this afternoon. Expect best chance for thunderstorm activity to be near KDAY and KILN. Due to this timed in some thunderstorm activity into these locations. Gusty winds around 20 knots will be possible this afternoon into the early evening hours. Additional showers and thunderstorms will move through tonight and then then scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop again towards the very end of the TAF period. Timed in some VCSH, SHRA, and VCTS with these features. After the passage of the overnight and early morning precipitation there will be the potential for some MVFR and potentially even IFR cigs. OUTLOOK...Thunderstorms are possible through Fri night. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. KY...None. IN...None. && SYNOPSIS...Novak NEAR TERM...Novak SHORT TERM...Novak LONG TERM...Hickman AVIATION...Novak
