The local office's own words before this special weather statement went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Wilmington, OH wrote its last area forecast discussion before this special weather statement went out at Aug 26, 4:29 PM EDT, 3 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 26, 4:29 PM EDT, 3 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Wilmington OH 429 PM EDT Thu Aug 26 2021 .SYNOPSIS... Slow moving storms will continue into the evening hours with precipitation gradually decreasing overnight. The heat and humidity will continue into the weekend with daily thunderstorm chances continuing. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/... Dangerous flooding situation developing in portions of eastern Indiana into western portions of Ohio. Moisture transport vectors continue to indicate slow moving storms over the next several hours in this area. In addition thunderstorm activity is starting to develop in other area locations as well. Please remain alert and pay attention to all flood warnings this evening. Flash flooding is not the only threat however. Hail, generally on the smaller size, will be possible with some of these storms. Isolated larger hail will be possible. In addition, DCAPE values are very high and there are steep low level lapse rates. Due to this there is also the potential for damaging winds with the storms. Another additional threat outside of thunderstorm activity is still the heat into the early evening hours. Canceled a portion of the heat advisory, however kept the southern portion of the heat advisory in place where storms have not yet reached. In addition there is a special weather statement out for some of the other area locations for heat index values in the middle to upper 90s. As additional storms develop expect the heat threat to then diminish across the region. Will also have to watch out for the potential for fog during the overnight hours once thunderstorm activity decreases. Given low level moisture from the rainfall and due to slow moving flow. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/... Yet another day of heat, humidity, and thunderstorm activity. Have heat index values in the 90s. There are some isolated values near heat advisory criteria of 100, however due to some uncertainty with convective potential just have mention in the HWO and did not issue a heat advisory anywhere for Friday. While there will be the potential for thunderstorm activity on Friday and some heavy downpours, the moisture transport vectors do indicate a little more in the way of movement. Given the continued environment as well, cannot rule out isolated strong to severe storms as well. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... Guidance from models continues to suggest H5 ridge amplification over the Ohio Valley for the weekend. This will allow for surface high pressure to broaden its influence across the lower Ohio Valley through the Atlantic coast. A stalled frontal boundary will lift northward into the Great Lakes region in response to the ridge aloft becoming more amplified. This should limit the overall coverage of shower and storm activity across the ILN CWA as the primary forcing mechanism remains to our north. However, hot and humid conditions will still offer an unstable air mass, so isolated convective activity cannot be completely ruled out. Rather, PoPs will primarily be diurnal in nature, with better chances as you move further north. Expect daytime highs to continue trending around 5 degrees or so above average, with most locations topping out in the upper 80s to lower 90s both Saturday and Sunday. Flow pattern aloft becomes more progressive on Monday, allowing the H5 ridge to propagate eastward. In turn, this ridging pattern will be replaced by a trough in the Midwest. The upper level trough and associated surface cold front will offer better shower and storm coverage on Monday as this unstable air mass has a sufficient lifting mechanism to initiate storms. Ensembles from the GFS/Euro show likely probabilities of SBCAPE exceeding 1000 J/kg, so thunderstorm activity will likely cover a good portion of the fa. The cold front will slowly progress through our fa Monday night, which will continue to offer chances for showers and storms during the overnight hours. Models still have this cold front draped across portions of southern Ohio by 12z Tuesday morning, so with the slower progression of the front, precipitation chances remain intact on Tuesday. The other feature to be on the lookout for on Tuesday is the potential impacts of a tropical system - currently listed as Tropical Depression NINE from the NHC. This system is currently forecast to reach Hurricane strength as it moves through the Gulf, eventually making landfall on the northern Gulf Coast Sunday. Ensemble tracks from the CMC/GFS are now leaning more towards a solution where the system moves up through the Tennessee and lower Ohio Valleys, which would provide increased moisture, clouds and precipitation across the majority of the ILN CWA. Impacts from this system would be felt as early as Tuesday, but it's still a little early to diagnose the overall impacts it will have in our region as changes in the flow pattern aloft will influence the track and evolution of this system. Nonetheless, it will be one of the primary features to look out for during the middle of next week. && .AVIATION /20Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... Thunderstorms have started to develop this afternoon and expect additional thunderstorm development into the evening hours before gradually decreasing tonight. Wind flow is very weak with these so expect thunderstorms that develop to be very slow moving, especially ones by KDAY, KCVG, and KLUK. Isolated gusty winds will be possible with these thunderstorms along with reduced visibility. Tonight there will be the potential for more fog development. Cu will develop again for the day on friday with additional thunderstorm development potential during the afternoon hours. Left out of the TAF sites tomorrow until after the end of the TAF period except for at the longer KCVG TAF where there is a VCTS mention. Flow on Friday will continue to be light. Outside of thunderstorm activity expect winds to be light and less than 10 knots. OUTLOOK...Thunderstorms are possible through Tuesday. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
