Area forecast discussion, Aug 27, 3:56 PM EDT, 2 hours 14 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Wilmington OH 356 PM EDT Fri Aug 27 2021 .SYNOPSIS... The heat and humidity will remain in place through the weekend along with daily shower and thunderstorm chances. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/... Showers and thunderstorms have developed across far northern and southern portions of the region, generally in the same areas that did not receive a lot of rain yesterday. Expect some additional development into the evening hours. Given the environment, heavy downpours will continue to be a possibility with storms that develop. There is a little more flow today than yesterday, however still have some flooding concerns if multiple storms move over the same area. In addition flow is a little less across the Scioto Valley, however expect coverage to be less across that location as well. As with other recent days, cannot rule out isolated damaging winds as we well. Linger some precipitation overnight. If this activity and associated cloud cover dissipates quicker than anticipated then fog will become an issues especially in river valley locations. Kept fog out of the forecast at this time. Lows overnight will be in the upper 60s to the lower 70s. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... Another day of heat and humidity will be in place for Saturday. Continued heat mention in the HWO. Have thunderstorms developing with a peak in the afternoon to early evening again. Outside of thunderstorm activity winds will be light and less than 10 knots. Lows Saturday night will again be in the upper 60s to lower 70s. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... On Sunday morning, the overall weather pattern over the Ohio Valley will be largely unchanged from the preceding days -- with high pressure near the southeast coast, SSW flow into the region, and a continuation of warm and humid conditions. What will follow, through the rest of the extended forecast period, is a change to this pattern. This change will be driven by height falls over the Great Lakes, a cold front moving south into the region, and the eventual passage of whatever remains of Hurricane Ida. Sunday will be one last day of more-of-the-same, with highs around 90, heat indices in the mid to upper 90s, and a chance of spotty storm development. With no significant forcing mechanisms to speak of, PoPs will be kept in the chance category, with diurnal timing appearing most likely. On Monday, a cold front will move south toward the Ohio Valley, with decent model agreement that it will at least end up somewhere south of the Michigan border by late in the day. Although this front will be pivoting into a west-to-east orientation, there are signs that the environment just ahead of the front will be quite favorable for storm development -- generally uncapped surface-based instability, a source of forcing for initial storm development, and some increase in mid-level flow. PoPs have been put in the likely category for Monday, and there will probably be at least some degree of low-end severe or flooding threat to keep an eye out for. Confidence is low in any specifics, but the moist environment and frontal orientation suggest a heavy rain threat will be possible, and some degree of wind damage threat is almost impossible to rule out with this kind of instability. As the front stalls out over the area, and height falls occur, Hurricane Ida will also be moving north (and the northeast) into the TN/KY area on Tuesday. Several model runs are hinting at the potential for a swath of heavy rainfall near or just north of the track of the center of whatever is left of Ida, though it is not certain if that heavy rain threat will be within the ILN forecast area or not. Much of this will depend on the strength of the height falls (and developing troughing) that will adjust the mid-level steering /and/ forcing. For now, especially as this is on Day 5 / Day 6 of the forecast cycle, confidence is low in whatever may end up happening over the ILN forecast area. It is simply something to keep in mind as a possible weather story for the middle of next week. Once Ida has passed, there is fair model agreement in drier and cooler conditions later in the week -- with highs closer to 80 degrees than the 90+ values seen in recent days. && .AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... Showers have already started to develop near KCVG and expect additional shower and thunderstorm development to occur through the afternoon and into the evening hours. Timed in VCTS and TSRA where appropriate. There are some indications that isolated to scattered showers and potentially thunderstorms will continue into the overnight hours. At this time limited this mention to a VCSH. Where there are breaks in the clouds overnight there will be the potential for some fog, however confidence was too low to include anywhere except for the river valley location of KLUK. Additional shower and thunderstorm activity is expected to develop on Saturday. OUTLOOK...Thunderstorms are possible through Tuesday. MVFR conditions possible Wednesday. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. KY...None. IN...None. && SYNOPSIS...Novak NEAR TERM...Novak SHORT TERM...Novak LONG TERM...Hatzos AVIATION...Novak
