Special Weather Statement, NWS Wilmington, OH

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wilmington OH
310 PM EDT Sat Aug 7 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
Warmer and more humid conditions will ramp up over the next
several days, with increasing chances of scattered afternoon
and evening showers and storms through early next week. The
greatest storm chances will be this evening and again midweek
of the upcoming week. Warm overnight low temperatures will make
for persistently muggy conditions.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
Scattered activity regenerating near and ahead of overnight MCV
currently in upper Miami and Scioto valleys becoming more
numerous and pushing ESE through the region. The activity is
pushing into a less favorable region in terms of DCAPE, with
marginal MLCAPE values of 1000-1500 J/KG. Generally not
expecting storms to become severe, but certainly some
substantial wind gusts of 40+ kts possible. Have also introduced
late afternoon and early evening isolated shower/thunderstorm
chances for the lower Scioto valley through the evening hours,
but with areas closer to the Ohio River more stable, any
activity here should be short-lived.

Overnight, there is lingering potential for isolated convection
through roughly 06z, some weak low level convergence continuing
through part of the night.

Overnight lows will range from the mid to upper 60s tonight.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
For Sunday, as a mid level ridge builds into the area, this will
push chances for afternoon convection a bit further north, and
allow potential for a more capped environment. Some uncertainty
here with that, but have kept potential for afternoon
convection along the northern fringe of the forecast area
generally along/north of I-70. With the more favorable
instability shifting to the north/northeast, any storms which
develop should be isolated/widely scattered. Ridging and
southerly will also allow temperatures to inch up to 90 to lower
90s.

For Sunday night, while the upper ridge slowly shifts eastward,
it will still dominate the overall regional pattern, but with
continued southerly flow along the back side of the high,
warm/moist conditions will keep overnight lows in the upper 60s
to lower 70s.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Scattered thunderstorm activity is expected several days during the
long term period along with heat and humidity.  While several days
have heat index values in the middle to upper 90s, do not have any
days reaching heat advisory criteria at this time. Due to convective
potential limiting heat in certain areas at times, decided to leave
heat mention out of the HWO until there is more confidence in
convection location.

A cold front will move through on Friday and then bring an end to
thunderstorm chances.  Will have to see how this frontal boundary
evolves through the week for the potential for severe weather on
Friday.

Cooler and drier conditions will then be in place for Saturday. With
CAA, increased cloud cover.  In addition with a weak upper level
disturbance and winds off of the lake, cannot rule out the potential
for a few showers across central Ohio.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Slightly diminished complex from lingering MCV continues to
push ESE through the region currently north of KDAY, with
additional development along boundaries out ahead of the
complex. Have introduced VCTS for KDAY/KCMH/KLCK through about
00z, with some lingering TS after this time, but expected to be
sparse enough to not warrant VCTS.

Overall VFR conditions expected, though MVFR possible where
thunderstorms may be prevailing. VFR CU will diminish after 00z,
and while scattered showers could linger, expectation is
isolated enough to not carry VCSH. MVFR visibility expected at
KLUK in the 09-12z timeframe.

OUTLOOK...MVFR conditions possible in afternoon/evening thunderstorms
are possible especially Monday into Tuesday.
