Area forecast discussion, Mar 23, 3:47 PM EDT, 2 hours 9 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Wilmington OH 347 PM EDT Wed Mar 23 2022 .SYNOPSIS... Severe weather threat continues this afternoon as potent low pressure tracks to the Great Lakes. Drier and cooler air circulating around the low will bring an end to showers and thunderstorms tonight. A couple of disturbances may bring a few more showers on Thursday and Friday. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/... Severe weather threat continues in the circulation around 996mb low pressure centered near Chicago. With most of the area north of the Ohio River under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch, several thunderstorm lines and cells are currently being monitored. Main threats are damaging winds and large hail, along with the possibility for isolated tornadoes. Strongest storms coincide with CAPE values around 1100 J/KG, organized by very strong wind fields at the surface and aloft. Conditions are likely to improve by early this evening as drier and more stable air works in around the low from the southwest. Strong synoptic wind gusts will linger through tonight in the tight pressure gradient around the low. Overnight lows in the low to mid 40s are expected. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... As low pressure moves to Southern Canada, a dry slot will keep precip from forming early Thursday. The threat for a few showers returns Thursday afternoon when an upper trough is forecast to push in from the west. Showers chances end Thursday night as the trough tracks east. Cooler highs Thursday in the upper 40s west to around 60 southeast will be followed by lows in the upper 30s to around 40s Thursday night. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... A highly-amplified mid and upper level flow pattern with a longwave trof will continue to drift east across the eastern third of the CONUS, with the trof axis tracking slowly from the Great Lakes to northern Gulf east to the eastern seaboard toward the end of the workweek. Another potent/compact S/W will pivot SE from the Upper Midwest into the OH Vly by late Friday night into early Saturday, providing a reinforcing shot of unseasonably cold air and ensuring the weekend features below normal temps locally. It will remain damp and rather cloudy, even into the day on Friday, with renewed chances for ISO/SCT SHRA Friday night into early Saturday. Current thermal profiles should be warm enough to support mainly SHRA through the first part of the overnight hours, opposed to SHSN, but a mix may briefly present itself Saturday morning into the afternoon as the combination of cold temps aloft with a cold BL may support some ISO/SCT SHSN activity from the predawn hours until early afternoon. Have differentiated RA vs SN in fcst based on LL/BL thermal thresholds as that will most likely be the differentiating factor. And even with the expectation for SCT/numerous RA/SN showers Saturday morning, it won't amount to much, if any, except perhaps for a quick dusting on grassy/elevated surfaces. Went below guidance for temps on Saturday with anomalously cold air settling in aloft and the anticipation of quite a bit of diurnally-driven cloud cover, which should keep at least a low end chance of a few RA/SN showers and/or sprinkles/flurries/graupel going well into the afternoon hours. Drier conditions filter in from the west late Saturday evening through the remainder of the weekend as NW flow aloft becomes established. A rather persistent and impressively-tight NW-to-SE oriented baroclinic zone will become established somewhere in the vicinity of the OH Vly early next week beneath the NW flow aloft. There are indications of a narrow corridor of isentropic-lift-driven pcpn developing near this baroclinic zone Monday night into Tuesday. The longitudinal uncertainty of where this may set up is still quite high, but there are some indications for a brief window of mixed wintry precip early Tuesday before temps warm enough to transition to all rain. Near or below normal temps are on through early next week, before a warmup occurs toward midweek and beyond as a pattern change evolves toward the end of the long term period. && .AVIATION /19Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... Aviation will continue to be affected by potent low pressure tracking from Illinois to the Great Lakes. Thunderstorms may develop ahead of the low and move to the vicinity of all sites this afternoon. Will amend if any sites will receive direct hits. Surface winds from the south to southwest are forecast to gust around 30 knots outside of thunderstorms. Once thunderstorms dissipate this evening, MVFR ceilings could form, lasting through the overnight hours. As improvement to VFR occurs on Thursday, winds from the southwest will gust close to 20 knots. OUTLOOK...MVFR ceilings possible into Friday. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. KY...None. IN...None. && SYNOPSIS...Coniglio NEAR TERM...Coniglio SHORT TERM...Coniglio LONG TERM...KC AVIATION...Coniglio
