Area forecast discussion, Jun 3, 3:11 PM EDT, 2 hours 16 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Wilmington OH 311 PM EDT Thu Jun 3 2021 .SYNOPSIS... Thunderstorms will diminish this evening as a disturbance moves east of the area. Hot and dry weather will build in for the weekend before afternoon rain chances return next week. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/... An upper level trough along with a low level trough/front is moving through the Ohio Valley this afternoon. Widespread showers and thunderstorms have formed just east of the upper level trough northwest of I-71 in response to increasing DCVA in the marginally unstable (MLCAPE 500-1000 J/kg), uncapped environment. Storms are interacting with each other and conglomerating into multicell clusters due to boundary parallel flow. Thunderstorms are expected to continue to form/persist into the afternoon as the aforementioned forcing moves east through the area. A few storms may become strong to severe this afternoon southeast of I-71 where bulk shear increases to 20-40 knots. Isolated damaging winds gusts and some hail are the primary threats. Additionally, isolated minor flooding is possible where training cells persist. Storms will dissipate later this evening after the upper level trough axis moves east. Clearing skies and light westerly winds are then expected after midnight. Lows drop into the upper 50s areawide and some patchy fog is possible due to lingering moisture from today's rainfall. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/... Westerly surface flow continues on Friday. Some moderate instability may develop during the day and weak northwesterly flow aloft could allow for a weak disturbance to spark a few showers east of I-75 during the afternoon. Otherwise, most locations remain dry and temperatures warm to the lower 80s. Tranquil weather continues on Friday night as high pressure starts to build in from the south. Forecast lows are in the lower 60s. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... Troughing will continue to pull east away from the area early in the period with deep ridging through the weekend. The weather looks pretty nice for a change this weekend with dry weather expected and a return to more seasonably warm temperatures. An upper low is expected to take shape over Texas over the weekend and move slowly north-northeast up the Mississippi Valley through the middle of next week. As this happens mid level ridging will strengthen over the southeast CONUS which will place the area in a relatively deep/strong southerly flow. Not a lot of large scale forcing for ascent but there will be some lobes of energy enhancing thunderstorm chances from time to time. PWAT's increase to the 1.5- 1.75 inch range with time so some locally heavy rains may also develop. For now held PoPs in the 40-60 percent range with a nod to diurnal timing for the higher chances. Temperatures will remain warm but clouds and convection will limit highs from reaching the very warm to hot range. && .AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... A disturbance will move across the Ohio Valley this afternoon through the early evening bringing widespread showers and thunderstorms. Low end VFR and MVFR ceilings will likely persist outside of thunderstorms. Brief MVFR/IFR ceiling and visibility dropouts can be expected in thunderstorms along with gusty winds. Showers and thunderstorms then diminish in coverage this evening when the aforementioned disturbance moves east of the area. Skies scatter as this occurs. Later overnight, BR may limit visibilities across the sites due to lingering low level moisture left behind by today's rainfall. VFR visibilities return after 1400Z Friday to accompany the VFR sky conditions. Light southerly winds persist this afternoon until light westerly flow develops after the showers and storms move east. .OUTLOOK...Thunderstorms are possible on Monday. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
