AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wilmington OH
345 AM EDT Wed May 15 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure tracking across Kentucky will keep moist and
unsettled weather across the Ohio Valley today. Drier weather is
forecast for Thursday under high pressure. The threat for
showers and thunderstorms returns Friday ahead of the next low
pressure system.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
Showers and thunderstorms will continue today in the moist and
unstable circulation around low pressure tracking across
Kentucky. Showers are generally isolated in nature this morning,
the exception being over Central Ohio where a patch of heavy
showers is persisting.

As the low makes its way east, coverage and thunderstorm threat
are expected to increase by early afternoon as instability
rises. Heavy downpours will be possible under slow moving
moisture-laden cells forming in a thermodynamically favorable
environment that features tall skinny CAPE. Severe thunderstorms
are not likely due to weak shear that will limit storm
organization. A drying trend may be observed this afternoon over
northwest counties that will be farther from the low center.

Temperatures may rise from the low 60s this morning to the
upper 60s to low 70s this afternoon though sunshine will be
scarce given the precip and heavy cloud cover.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...
Surface low pressure will accelerate to the southeast tonight,
while a ridge at the surface and aloft builds from the west. The
ridge will be positioned overhead on Thursday. This scenario
will bring an end to showers tonight, with dry weather
continuing through Thursday. After temperatures fall to the 50s
tonight under gradually decreasing cloud cover, highs should
reach the mid and upper 70s Thursday thanks to warm advection
and insolation.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
00Z guidance continues to show spread in handling a trough coming
out of the central US which leads to some uncertainty, especially in
timing of onset and departure of precipitation. But certainly the
trough will lead to unsettled conditions for the end of the week as
it tracks across the region.  Depending on how extensive the clouds
and precipitation are during the daytime periods, temperatures will
be within a few degrees of normal. But overnight readings will
remain mild.

Ridging will build in starting on Sunday. This will lead to even
warmer temperatures for the latter part of the period. There are
varying solutions on when short wave energy may ride over the top
the ridge which could bring a chance of storms. At this point have
leaned more towards Tuesday, but plenty of uncertainty as is often
the case that far out in time.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Aviation continues to be impacted by low pressure tracking
slowly across Kentucky. With near surface air nearly saturated,
ceilings as low as LIFR are forecast this morning. There will be
showers, though timing and location are uncertain due to
scattered nature. CMH and LCK look to be affected by categorical
showers early in the forecast. For all sites, went with
diurnally influenced coverage of showers and VCTS during
afternoon peak instability. Improvement to VFR should occur
around the same time with increased mixing. MVFR is likely again
tonight as ceilings redevelop in lingering low level moisture.

OUTLOOK...MVFR CIGs/VSBYs are possible with thunderstorms
Friday.
