Area forecast discussion, Dec 6, 3:10 AM EST, 2 hours 55 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wilmington OH
310 AM EST Mon Dec 6 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure over Lake Superior this morning and its attendant
cold front will sweep through the remainder of the Ohio Valley
this morning and be heading off the Atlantic coast by this
evening, ushering in a much colder and drier airmass. Strong
Canadian high pressure will move quickly across the Ohio Valley
tonight with skies becoming partly cloudy and temperatures
dropping into the teens and 20s. The high will quickly move east
of the area through the middle of the week with warming
temperatures, and by weeks end another strong low pressure
system will move through the Great Lakes with very warm air,
plenty of showers, and gusty winds.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
Rain and showers/storms have enveloped much of the ILN CWA this
morning as ascent tied to vigorous shortwave trough is now
centered squarely on the area. Cold front is now beginning to
accelerate east/southeast through central Indiana and will be
entering...and then clearing...the CWA in the 4AM to 8AM
timeframe. May see some narrow linear reflectivity structures
develop along the front which may still bring a low end damaging
wind threat or a brief mesovortex or two given effective SRH
still > 300 m2/s2 over northern KY. So still need to watch radar
closely through the 7 AM hour for isolated wind damage threat. There
is a hydro/flooding concern that is peaking in the next 2-3
hours as well - but will quickly end from west to east the cold
front surges through to end the precipitation. Until that
happens, a narrow band of 2-3" from southeast Indiana into
southwest and central Ohio has fallen and may still cause
flooding concerns as rain continues atop the rain footprint.
This area is currently covered with Flood Advisories and there
is some concern that a part of this could need to go to Flash
Flood Warning at some point before the rain ends, but with rates
having peaked, it is likely we will be able to remain at
advisory levels of impact.

Strong gusty winds in the cold advection in the wake of the cold
front. Expect some gusts in the wind prone areas of west-central
Ohio will reach 30kts or a little more. With falling
temperatures amidst scattered/broken stratocumulus all day, will
have a much more wintry feeling to the day than Sunday. Wind
chills during the afternoon holding in the 20s most locations.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
Strong high pressure builds quickly southeast into the Ohio
Valley this evening giving skies some chance to clear especially
across the southern half of the CWA. Cold advection continues,
and will send overnight lows tumbling into the teens and 20s.

High clouds will thicken through the day on Tuesday as
isentropic ascent begins in the mid levels ahead of a weak wave
moving through the flow. Any threat of light snow will hold off
until Tuesday night, and this is handled in the discussion
below.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Fast westerly mid level flow with a quick moving weak impulse moving
through the Ohio Valley Tuesday night. Favorable isentropic lift
develops with a 35 kt low level jet. Have chance pops for snow
across the south with any accumulation less than an inch. Low
temperatures look to range from the lower 20s north to the mid 20s
south.

Surface high pressure to build across the Ohio Valley on Wednesday,
providing dry weather. Temperatures look to be a little below normal
Wednesday with highs from the mid 30s north to the lower 40s south.

Mid-level ridging builds across the area Wednesday night into
Thursday. A quick moving shortwave -- tracking thru the Great Lakes
to offer a chance of rain showers Thursday/Thursday night time
frame. Temperatures to begin a warm up with highs Thursday ranging
from the mid 40s north to the lower 50s south.

Active weather looks to take shape for the end of the week into the
weekend. A mid level trof takes shape in the central U.S. with deep
southerly flow developing over the Ohio Valley Friday. This setup
transports favorable moisture and also some marginal instby
into the area Friday night.

A heavy rain signal is observed with this weather system next
weekend. Deterministic model precipitable water values increase
above 1.5 inches Friday night into Saturday. Ensemble solutions are
showing good probabilities for widespread 1 inch plus rainfall with
some potential for greater than 2 inches. Have bumped up pops to
categorical Friday night into Saturday and have also included a
mention of thunder.

On the warm side of the system temperatures look to reach highs
ranging from the upper 50s northwest to the mid 60s southeast
on Friday and the mid 50s to the upper 60s Saturday.

Model solutions differ on how quick the pcpn ends next weekend. GFS
is more progressive ending pcpn Saturday night, while the ECMWF
keeps post frontal pcpn into Sunday. Have opted for a blended
approach keeping some low pops into Sunday. Temperatures will drop
back to near normal levels Sunday behind the cold front, with highs
ranging from the lower 40s north to the upper 40s south.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Showers and a few thunderstorms continue to develop in earnest
as of 0530Z. These will continue to become more numerous as the
night wears on and peak in coverage/intensity along a cold front
surging through the area in the hours just before sunrise.
Gusty low level jet will continue to add a low level wind shear
concern until the front passes. At the surface, gusty southwest
winds ahead of the front will turn northwesterly and increase
with gusts toward 30kts in the wake of the front out of the
northwest. These gusts will settle down as sunset approaches on
Monday evening.

Under the heaviest showers/storms, IFR visibilities will be
possible most certainly MVFR cigs/vsbys. Have hit intensity the
hardest in all TAFS in the 08Z-12Z timeframe as the front
crosses the area. In the wake of the front, expect a few rain
showers under stratocumulus before ending mid-morning. Expect
ceilings to be MVFR much of the day but may scatter out/lift to
VFR by the afternoon, but this is a lower confidence forecast.

OUTLOOK...MVFR conditions are possible on Wednesday and Friday.
