Flash Flood Warning 14, NWS Wilmington, OH

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wilmington OH
906 PM EDT Thu Jul 27 2023

.SYNOPSIS...
A weak boundary moving through the region will provide showers
and thunderstorms through this evening. Warm an humid
conditions will lead to dangerous heat indices in the 100 to 105
degree range this afternoon and again on Friday afternoon.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
A general weakening trend in convection has been observed this
evening after showers and thunderstorms fired up during peak heating
just south of a dew point gradient near I-70. A few more strong
storms are possible around sunset since there is MLCAPE left to work
with. Additionally, high PWATs and slow storm motions have led to
some local flash flood issues where the heaviest rain has fallen.
Storm activity is expected to finally come to an end around midnight
although a storm or two could fire up on old outflow boundaries
left over from the current convection.

Regarding the heat, lows will not drop off much tonight. Forecast
lows are generally in the middle 70s along with high dew points. The
combination of warm temperatures and high dew points will make it
hard to get any relief from heat-related stress if not in an AC-
controlled indoor environment. Additionally, watch out for long-term
heat related illness during this stretch of hot weather.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
Regionally, surface high pressure is to the southeast to start
the day on Friday with a large low pressure across the central
Plains and Midwest. Aloft, the aforementioned shortwave is
expected to be moving through region. Some cloud cover is
anticipated, but will ultimately depend on thunderstorm
intensity with any active complex moving into the area.

An excessive heat warning was considered for the entire area,
however, with uncertainty associated with morning and early
afternoon convection, decided to opt for a localized warning
across the Dayton and Cincinnati metro areas. Here, confidence
is higher that heat indices in excess of 105 degrees will have a
better chance of being reached, especially with the urban heat
influence taken into account.

Forecast soundings are very pessimistic (cap inversion) regarding
new convection forming over the area during the afternoon due
to the lack of strong synotpic forcing. However, outflow
boundaries moving southward from overnight convection to the
north can't be ruled out.

For Friday evening extending into the overnight, another
shortwave is expected to move through the Midwest, initiating a
new cluster of thunderstorms. The complex likely works its way
southeastward into the lower Great Lakes. Limited PoPs to chance
along and north of I-70 during the overnight, when this feature
would have the best chance for entering the area. Additional
confidence should be gained based on current conditions Friday
morning.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
The very warm and oppressively-humid airmass will linger in the
region into the day on Saturday as a cold front lays out in an
approximately E-W fashion across the heart of the OH Vly by
midday, perhaps very close to the I-70 corridor. This front will
undoubtedly provide a focus for diurnally-enhanced convection,
owing to sustained LL convergence/confluence near the southward-
sagging front. Of equal importance, especially in regards to
coverage/timing of storms, will be the arrival of a midlevel S/W
and midlevel height falls from the W by midday, enhancing
broader-scale ascent and forcing to further promote more robust
convection, especially during the afternoon and evening. This is
amidst an environment that should be characterized by strong
instability and sufficient (although not great) deeper-layer
shear. Given the favorable thermodynamic environment, including
decent midlevel lapse rates, do expect that strong to damaging
winds will be possible with any of the most pronounced activity.

Still some details to be resolved regarding this potential, but
strictly speaking from a synoptic-scale setup and general
pattern, this certainly should promote an episode of strong to
severe storms locally Saturday afternoon/evening. Expect that
activity should initiate near the I-70 corridor where LL
convergence will be maximized, with the greatest coverage
shifting S to near/S the OH Rvr into the evening. This activity
should be more widespread (in terms of coverage) than has been
the case in recent days, owing to the better broader-scale lift
amidst a ripening and highly unstable environment. Due to the
/very/ high PWAT environment, locally heavy rain and isolated
flooding may also accompany this activity.

With all of this being said, the convective evolution Friday
night into Saturday morning undoubtedly will dictate what
exactly evolves (and where it evolves) by Saturday
afternoon/evening as the front slowly drifts S through the
region during this time frame. Feel confident at this juncture
to add mention to the HWO given the overall pattern, with the
greatest coverage/potential for strong/severe storms to focus
near/S of the I-70 corridor Saturday afternoon/evening.

Of note as well for Saturday will be the continuation of a very
warm and humid airmass for locales still S of the front, with
heat index values near/in excess of 100 degrees likely again
near/S of the I-70 corridor. Of course, this will undoubtedly be
convectively-augmented with time, but certainly advisory
criteria should be met in many spots in the srn 2/3 of the ILN
FA prior to convective initiation Saturday afternoon.

Slightly cooler and considerably less humid air builds back
into the region late in the weekend into early next week as
temps trend closer to seasonal norms through at least the first
several days of next workweek.

&&

.AVIATION /01Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Areas of thunderstorms mainly near the Ohio River will continue to
slowly drift south this evening before weakening after 0000z.
Impacts from the thunderstorms should be confined to the
Cincinnati TAF sites early in the TAF period. By 0400z, any
convection is expected to be out of the area and VFR conditions
are forecast the rest of the TAF period outside of isolated
pockets of BR late overnight. There is only the outside chance
of showers and thunderstorms on Friday and mention is excluded
from the TAFs for now due to low probabilities.

Weak southerly flow may develop overnight. Southwesterly winds
increase to around 10 knots after 1200z Friday and persist through
the day.

OUTLOOK...Thunderstorms possible Friday night.
