AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wilmington OH
218 PM EDT Fri Jun 18 2021
.SYNOPSIS...
A frontal boundary will push south across the region this
afternoon and stall out along the Ohio River tonight into
Saturday. This will lead to an increasing chance of showers an
thunderstorms later this afternoon into tonight, with a chance
of thunderstorms then continuing through the day on Saturday.
Severe thunderstorms will be possible later this afternoon and
evening, along with the potential for heavy rainfall into the
overnight hours.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
First round of showers and storms is starting to exit the
region. Winds will pick up and be gusty this afternoon and
evening. Temperatures will start to recover quickly and have
heat index values in the upper 90s across western portions of
the region where there is the special weather statement. Already
starting to see storm development across Indiana and northern
Ohio. Thunderstorms will start to fill in across northern
portions of the region by the end of the near term. Severe
threat will be present with damaging winds, potential for large
hail, and tornadoes as well.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...
The main area of thunderstorms will continue to sag south
through the evening hours. As the flow becomes more parallel to
the boundary/line of storms, it does look like the potential
exists for some training storms to persist into the overnight
hours. There is quite a bit of uncertainty as to exactly where
this will occur, but if it does, the possibility will exist for
an extended period of heavier rainfall somewhere west to east
across our area, with several of the individual CAMs cranking
out some fairly impressive rainfall amounts across various
locations in our fa along and to the north of the Ohio River. As
a result, decided to go with a FFA for at least portions of our
area. For now, will center in on the most favored locations for
heavy rain based on the HREF, generally running it for areas
along and north of the Ohio River and along and south of I-70.
Expect to see a decreasing trend through later Saturday morning
as the low level jet begins to weaken. However, it looks like we
will see some destabilization again through the afternoon hours
as temperatures rebound into the mid to upper 80s for afternoon
highs. This combined with some additional mid level energy
moving across the southern Great Lakes, will lead to additional
chances for showers and thunderstorms. With some continued
better deep layer shear, a few strong to severe storms will be
possible again Saturday afternoon.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
On Saturday evening, a continued feed of low-level theta-e advection
will be angling itself into the ILN forecast area from the
southwest. Active convection may have already developed by 00Z, and
there is some potential for convection to continue into Saturday
night, with at least some elevated instability remaining replenished
through the night. These chances will diminish as the night goes on.
With a general weakness in forcing expected on Sunday, PoPs will be
lowered to slight chance by Sunday morning and through the day. The
air mass will still be warm and humid, and uncapped or weakly
capped. Thus, at least some low-end isolated storm threat will
continue into Sunday -- with highs in the upper 80s.
Monday is expected to be another active weather day, as a deep and
expansive mid-level trough moves east across the country, and a very
well-defined cold front plows into the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley
from the northwest. There are still some fairly large differences
between GFS/ECMWF solutions with regards to this system. The GFS
seems to be faster and more energetic, while the ECMWF/CMC are
slower and feature a little less shear. Nonetheless, with potent
boundary layer southwesterly flow ahead of the front, temperatures
are likely to climb into the 90s for areas that remain ahead of the
front through the diurnal cycle. This may well include the
southeastern ILN forecast area, and max temps were bumped up a
couple degrees from the blend for this area (Portsmouth OH etc).
With dewpoints well into the 60s (and maybe near 70) there is no
question that from an instability and forcing standpoint, Monday
will have to be watched for another potential round of severe
weather. This is still out on Day 4, so confidence in specifics is
not overly high as of yet. Depending on frontal timing, some chance
for showers/storms may persist into early Tuesday for parts of the
forecast area.
Drier and cooler conditions are expected behind the front for
Tuesday, with flow beginning to switch back around as early as
Wednesday and Thursday, leading to warming temperatures. However,
chances for precipitation will likely not return until beyond the
end of the current forecast period (through Thursday).
&&
.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
First round of showers and storms have moved through the TAF
sites. Expect a lull in the precipitation with an increase in
winds and wind gusts. Expect additional showers and storms to
develop late this afternoon and into this evening. A prolonged
shower and thunderstorm event will be possible across some of
the area TAF sites this evening through Saturday morning. Shower
and thunderstorm activity will briefly start to diminish towards
the end of the TAF period, however then MVFR cigs will develop
and move into portions of the region. Additional thunderstorms
are expected later Saturday.
.OUTLOOK...Thunderstorms are possible Saturday through Monday
