AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Wilmington OH 707 PM EDT Mon Aug 3 2020 .SYNOPSIS... A cold front will cross the region late tonight into Tuesday morning. High pressure will start to build in Tuesday night and then predominate through much of the rest of the week. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/... Scattered to numerous showers along with some thunderstorms continue to move across the region. This activity will diminish as daytime heating wanes. Skies will likely clear for a while this evening, but then expect some more to develop/move into the area later tonight as a cold front pushes into the region. Lows will be in the lower to mid 60s. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... A cold front will cross the forecast area during the morning. Some showers may occur along and behind the boundary. Better chance will be in eastern counties during the afternoon. Temperatures will still be able to rise into the mid 70s to lower 80s. High pressure will start to build in Tuesday night. Drier and cooler conditions will filter in with lows dropping into the 50s. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... Cool and dry conditions will start out the long term on Wednesday with high temperatures in the 70s to around 80 degrees. With CAA expect an extensive cu field to develop across the region during the daytime hours. With drier air moving in expect cu field to dissipate quickly during the evening hours. With mostly clear skies expect temperatures to drop down into the 50s to around 60 degrees Wednesday night. There will be a gradual warming trend Thursday into the weekend. Dry conditions are expected to be present through Saturday. There starts to be some uncertainly Sunday into Monday on the arrival of the next system to the region. Gradually increase precipitation chances from Sunday into the Monday timeframe. Due to uncertainty with coverage and timing, limited precipitation chances to the chance category for now and went close to the model blend for precipitation chances as well. Temperatures on Monday will potentially be a little cooler than over the weekend with additional cloud cover and precipitation chances across the region. && .AVIATION /23Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... Widespread showers and thunderstorms ahead of a slow moving cold front will gradually diminish in coverage this evening as the atmosphere starts to stabilize. Temporary IFR/MVFR visibility reductions have been observed in thunderstorms and continue to be expected inside heavier showers/storms this evening. Wind gusts upwards of 20 knots can also be expected inside showers/storms. By 0600Z there is expected to only be isolated shower coverage. As storms diminish overnight the forecast, the forecast becomes a bit tricky. The most likely scenario, as reflected in the TAFs, is for skies to at least partially clear over the Ohio Valley. Clearing skies, the abundance of low-level moisture from recent rainfall, and calm winds are likely to lead to restricted visibilities at the terminals due to mist and/or fog. Current forecast calls for MVFR visibility reductions by 0900Z. IFR visibility restrictions are possible and may be included in later TAFs once sky cover is determined. Around 0700Z, the a cold front in northwest Ohio will also start to approach the terminals. Low-level clouds associated with the front, along with developing northwesterly winds, will reach KDAY first. Clouds and drier northwesterly flow will eventually help to improve visibilities as MVFR ceilings take hold at all terminals. Later in the day, MVFR ceilings are likely to scatter as northwesterly flow strengthens to around 10 knots. OUTLOOK...MVFR ceilings may linger into Tuesday afternoon. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. KY...None. IN...None. && SYNOPSIS... NEAR TERM... SHORT TERM...
