Area forecast discussion, May 18, 3:25 PM EDT, 1 hour 30 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wilmington OH
325 PM EDT Mon May 18 2020
.SYNOPSIS...
An upper level low pressure system will move across the Ohio
Valley tonight through Tuesday, bringing occasional showers and
the possibility of heavy rain to the region. A chance for
showers will then linger through much of the week as the upper
level low slowly drifts across the Tennessee Valley.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Clouds cleared out enough earlier this afternoon across our
southeast to allow for temps to push up into the upper 70s to
near 80 degrees in that area. This has led to some better
destabilization with ML capes currently up around 1000 J/KG or
so across our southeast. As a result, some better organized
storms have developed across parts of northeast Kentucky and
this will likely continue to lift north northeast across
eastern portions of our area through late afternoon/early
evening. Fairly favorable low level shear profiles will be
conducive for some rotating storms with perhaps an isolated
tornado possible with some of the stronger updrafts. Would
expect the best chance for this to be across our
southeastern/possibly eastern counties in the area of better
instability. Otherwise, there will also be a damaging wind
threat into early this evening with some of the stronger storms.
The severe threat should wane as we move through the evening
and lose the better instability.
The upper level low will drift slowly south into the southern
Ohio Valley through tonight. As it does, an associated surface
low will push very slowly southeast into southwest portions of
our area. Fairly widespread shower activity rotating around the
low will continue to affect our fa through the overnight hours.
With PWs in the 1.5 to 1.75 inch range and slow moving/training
pcpn, locally heavy rainfall will be possible. There remains
some model variation on the exact placement of the axis of
heaviest rain, but it does looks like we will see a decent swath
of 2-3 inches with perhaps 4 inches of storm total set up
somewhere across our fa. A flash Flood Watch remains in effect
for our entire fa.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
The surface low will shift slowly south Tuesday through Tuesday
night as the upper level low drifts into the Tennessee Valley.
While the better instability will also shift off to our south,
we will still see periods of showers persisting Tuesday into
Tuesday night across our area. This will help keep us cool
through the day with highs on Tuesday in the low to mid 60s.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
The area will continue to be under the influence of the upper level
low until Friday. During this time, off and on showers and at times
thunderstorms will pivot across the area. The upper low will also
keep temperatures in the 60s on Wednesday and Thursday and 70s on
Friday with cloud cover.
Moving into the weekend there will be a warming trend with 80s
becoming widespread. The area will be on the periphery of the ridge
on Saturday and therefore have a slight chance of thunderstorms in
the forecast. The ridge becomes more established for Sunday into
Monday and therefore have generally dry conditions during this time.
&&
.AVIATION /19Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
A low pressure system will move slowly southeast across the
Ohio Valley tonight into Tuesday. Widespread showers and
embedded thunderstorms associated with this will continue to
overspread the region through this afternoon and evening.
Occasional showers will then persist overnight and into the day
on Tuesday. MVFR to occasional IFR vsbys will be possible with
the showers. Cigs will continue to trend toward MVFR through
this evening, eventually dropping into IFR overnight.
OUTLOOK... MVFR ceilings and visibilities are possible Tuesday
night into Thursday.
