Area forecast discussion, Mar 3, 6:40 AM EST, 3 hours 2 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wilmington OH
640 AM EST Fri Mar 3 2023

.SYNOPSIS...
A strong low pressure system will track across the Ohio Valley
today and into the Great Lakes tonight. Widespread rainfall,
gusty winds, and thunderstorms are expected with this system
throughout the day and into tonight. As the system departs,
high pressure returns for the weekend with dry conditions.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
Multiple impacts are expected from a very strong storm system
today into tonight. Threats for heavy rain/flooding, strong
synoptic winds and severe weather all exist.

A strong negatively tilted mid level shortwave to eject from
the Lower MS Valley thru the Ohio Valley today and into the
the Great Lakes tonight as 100-110 KT jet rotates around the
base of this trof. Deepening surface low to track thru eastern
Indiana and western Ohio late this afternoon and evening.

An associated surface cold front will push quickly east across
the Ohio Valley later this afternoon.

Widespread showers to spread north across ILN/s forecast area
this morning ahead of this system associated with a low level
jet and favorable isentropic lift.

CAMS show elevated convection initially early this afternoon.
A narrow axis of surface based instability develops ahead of the
aforementioned cold front from about 20Z thru 00Z. This
window looks to develop into North Central Kentucky and
Southeast Indiana first and then work east across far southern
Ohio and Northern KY thru 00Z.

Damaging winds will be a threat with some of the stronger
storms with very strong winds just above the surface. Also,
favorable shear supports rotating storms and a tornadic threat
generally along and south of the Ohio River.

Continue to observe a signal for heavy rain with PW values of
1.2 to 1.4 inches which is 250-300 percent of normal. HREF mean
QPF continues to show values of 2 to 2.5 inches -- with the
highest totals over the west and southwest. Have continued a
Flood watch through late tonight.

The pressure gradient tightens with strong winds outside of
storms and the potential for wind gusts up to 50 mph. With an
low level inversion through most of the day the strongest winds
look to occur late in the day into this evening. Have continued
the wind advisory for the entire area this afternoon thru late
tonight.

Will continue to highlight the severe weather threat in the HWO
product.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...
Deep surface low to track northeast thru Ohio this evening and
into the Great Lake overnight. Strongest synoptic winds look to
arrive as the system wraps up after the cold front moves thru
the area this evening. Strong low level cold air advection in
the wake of the cold front will result in northwest sustained
winds of 20-30 MPH with gusts up to 50 MPH possible. Have
continued wind Advisory for entire area thru 4 AM Saturday
with the strongest winds expected this evening. Precipitation
decreases from west to east tonight as the system departs.

The winds begin to decrease late tonight into Saturday morning.
Overnight lows fall into the 30s area wide.

Surface high pressure build into the area Saturday offering dry
weather. Clouds will give way to increasing sunshine with highs
ranging from the upper 40s northwest to the mid 50s southeast.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
High pressure centered over the Ohio Valley will exit to the east on
Monday allowing southerly flow and well above normal temperatures.
The next low pressure system will scoot east across the Great Lakes
Monday night sending a cold front through the forecast area.
Developing longwave trough over the eastern United States will
continue to provide cooler (more seasonal) temperatures into
Wednesday and Thursday. Due to a significant spread in the guidance
toward the end of the period, precipitation chances are uncertain.
Have stayed with the blend's chance of precipitation on Thursday due
to a potential system tracking to our south.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Strong low pressure will track across the Ohio Valley today and
into the Great Lakes tonight. Showers associated with the nose
of a 60-70 KT low level jet will overspread the TAF sites this
morning. Conditions will deteriorate with ceilings dropping
through MVFR early this morning to IFR by mid to late morning.
After this period of IFR expect ceilings to bump up to MVFR and
continue in the MVFR category tonight.

Axis of instability looks to develop this afternoon into
southern Ohio which will support the development of
thunderstorms. Due to limited window and uncertainty with
respect to timing and location have limited mention of thunder
to VCTS at KCVG and KLUK this afternoon.

Winds increase as direction veers from east to south and then
shift to the west late in the day, with gusts topping 40 knots
late this afternoon into this evening. Wind shear will also be
an impact the TAF this afternoon.

.OUTLOOK...MVFR ceilings will likely continue into Saturday
morning.
