Area forecast discussion, Apr 13, 7:49 PM EDT, 2 hours 25 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Wilmington OH 749 PM EDT Wed Apr 13 2022 .SYNOPSIS... A cold front will quickly move through the region tonight with showers and storms likely. High pressure will build in on Thursday, providing mostly sunny skies and cooler temperatures. Next chance of precipitation arrives Friday night with a reinforcing shot of chilly air heading into the weekend. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/... Showers and thunderstorms will move quickly through the region this evening ahead of a sharp cold front. Strongest storms will affect southwest CWA and Cincy metro area within the next 1-3 hours with an initial line of thunderstorms containing wind gusts to 40 mph, higher in any more organized storms. Remainder of the CWA will see some isolated thunder with widespread showers spreading eastward. Behind the line of showers/storms, the front will rush in late bringing perhaps another line of gusty showers, then falling temperatures. Northwesterly gusts could reach 25-35 mph immediately following the front with the initial cold air advection. Lows will range from around 40 in the west to near 50 in the southeast. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... Rapid clearing will occur early Thursday morning, providing a sunny and breezy day. Despite the cold air advection, warm mid- April sunshine leads to high temperatures in the upper 50s to lower 60s by afternoon. The surface high quickly shifts to the central Appalachians by Thursday night, causing winds to shift back to the southwest. However, clear skies will allow temperatures to drop into the lower 40s by early Friday morning. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... On Friday, the closed low continues its slow trek eastward through Quebec. Deterministic models are picking up on some pcpn being forced at the surface as some vorticity lobes are wrapped around the southern base of the low. However, confidence (as well as moisture) is limited, so kept slight pops for areas south with chance in areas north for Friday night into Saturday morning. Warmer temperatures can be expected in the southern CWA for Friday, with highs in the upper 60s/ low 70s, however, additional cloud cover and slightly higher PoPs in the north will keep those counties a bit cooler, with highs in the low/mid 60s. Additionally, kept winds higher in the north where the lingering pressure gradient is a bit tighter with gusts between 20-25kts Friday daylight hours. Some decent cold air advection allows for cooler temperatures over the weekend, with highs on Saturday in the low 50s to the north, low 60s to the south. Continuing this trend, lows Sunday morning drop into the mid to low 30s for the entire CWA. These temperatures, combined with clear skies and calmer conditions will promote frost development across much of the area. Will add more on this as we get closer and add a note in the HWO for areas where the frost/freeze program has been initiated. Decent consensus between deterministic models that the (much talked about) upper level low will finally be off to the east by Saturday night (the Euro is a bit sluggish with this). Mid-level ridging and surface high pressure builds into the area Sunday morning. This will allow for a dry Easter Sunday, albeit cooler, with highs in the low/mid 50s . Pcpn returns again as models come into somewhat better agreement (in terms of location and timing) on the next system that is brought into the area. A mid level trough digs down into the north central plains and Ohio Valley from Sunday night through Tuesday, with its associated surface low occluding rapidly as it travels over the plains and into our area, bringing pcpn along with it Monday into Tuesday. && .AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... Line of thunderstorms will hit CVG/LUK between 1 and 1:30Z with widespread showers and an occasional thunderstorm affecting DAY and ILN closer to 2-3Z, and showers with a slight chance of thunder. Left thunder out of central OH TAF sites attm, will amend if this trend changes in the next few hours. MVFR cigs/vsbys in showers and storms are expected for a few hours this evening, dropping to MVFR cigs with lighter showers later overnight, and clearing early in the day tomorrow. OUTLOOK...MVFR conditions possible Friday night. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. KY...None. IN...None. && SYNOPSIS... NEAR TERM...Franks SHORT TERM...
