Area forecast discussion, Jun 4, 11:35 AM EDT, 1 hour 33 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Wilmington OH 1135 AM EDT Thu Jun 4 2020 .SYNOPSIS... Weak disturbances moving across the region will bring a chance of showers and thunderstorms through Friday night. High pressure will build in from the north over the weekend bringing drier and cooler conditions. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... Thunderstorms are already developing along and northwest of I-71 this morning. Expect additional increasing coverage throughout the afternoon and into the evening hours. Model soundings are indicative that the main threats will be damaging winds and large hail. In addition heavy rain will also occur with these storm. Temperatures will be slightly cooler than yesterday, however still expecting warm conditions with high temperatures in the 80s. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/... Showers and thunderstorms will likely be ongoing into the evening, particularly in southeast counties. Expect activity to wane in the overnight hours. But showers and storms will develop again on Friday with a diurnal peak. Environment will be similar to today, so some more robust storms will be possible. Lows will remain in the upper 60s in most areas tonight with highs back into the mid 80s on Friday. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... Cut-off low south of California rejoins jet stream flow Friday night leading to an amplification of a downstream ridge in the central US and a trough over the Northeast. The amplified pattern allows for a cold front to move through the forecast area during the day on Saturday with a slight chance for scattered showers and an isolated thunderstorm primarily during the morning to early afternoon hours. Temperatures starting in the mid to upper 60s, and warm into the 80s through the afternoon. Northerly winds lead to some cold air advection along with lower humidity, likely resulting in a pleasant Saturday evening. Sunday and Monday are dominated by surface high pressure to the north and mid-level ridge over much of the eastern US. Mostly sunny skies and light northeasterly flow provide near normal temperatures and lower humidity on Sunday with temperatures a few degrees above normal on Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday's weather greatly depends on the progress of Tropical Storm Cristobal, which is currently positioned 1500 miles south of WFO ILN, in the state of Tabasco, Mexico. Due to uncertainty with Cristobal's near term forecast, changes in the current local forecast for Tue/Wed are likely through the coming days. Cristobal is expected to eventually move northward into the northern Gulf of Mexico as a tropical storm. As the deep ridge shifts eastward, there is a window where remnants of Cristobal could eventually reach the Ohio Valley as they are intercepted by a deep trough moving eastward into the Central US. With this synoptic timing, the tropical airmass associated with the remnants would enhance rain chances late Tuesday into Wednesday. For temperatures, rather warm on Tuesday with southeasterly flow pushing temperatures into the mid to upper 80s with lower 90s possible. With higher rain chances on Wednesday, highs in the upper 70s and lower 80s are forecast. && .AVIATION /16Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... Expect showers and thunderstorms to develop across the region with the greatest coverage during peak heating. Still enough uncertainty in narrowing down when convection might impact terminals to continue with VCTS for a several hour period when probability is highest. There may be lingering showers in the wake of any storms. This will diminish during the night. Conditions are expected to remain VFR outside of any thunderstorms. OUTLOOK...Thunderstorms are possible through Friday night. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. KY...None. IN...None. && SYNOPSIS... NEAR TERM...Novak SHORT TERM... LONG TERM...McGinnis AVIATION...
