AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wilmington OH
315 PM EDT Tue Apr 2 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
A strong low pressure system will move northeast to southern
Lake Michigan tonight. A cold front trailing from this low will
move east across the region, bringing a period of showers and
thunderstorms along and ahead of it. Some storms may be severe
late this afternoon into this evening. A cold mid level low
pressure system will then dig southeast into the area Wednesday
into Thursday, bringing below normal temperatures along with
rain and snow showers.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
The best chance for severe storms will be late this afternoon
into this evening, especially for the Tri-State, as a moist,
unstable airmass advects quickly in from the southwest. All
hazards are a concern, damaging winds, large hail, possible
tornadoes as the environment will be conducive to supercells and
rotating updrafts. The severe threat will also exist elsewhere,
but may be somewhat less as instability starts to wane this
evening ahead of an advancing cold front. We have also had some
heavy rain today, especially the northern half of the CWFA,
which has resulted in some short fused flooding and flooding
rivers. Will continue Flood Watch until 03Z, or 11 pm EDT for
the entire region. Watch will likely be trimmed once the cold
front passes by.

For the overnight period, CAA will ensue behind the cold front.
There will be a "dry slot" in the wake of the front where pcpn
should end. However, low level moisture will advect in from the
northwest, bringing considerable stratocumulus clouds. Winds
will be from the west/southwest between 10 and 20 mph with gusts
between 25 and 35 mph. Lows will range from the mid 30s east to
the lower 40s west.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
It will be a cold, cloudy, showery pattern for the short term
forecast.

A cold mid level low will rotate southeast into our region
Wednesday. This mid level low will be occluded with its surface
low. We should start out briefly dry early. Then, as we start to
destabilize diurnally and this interact with the mid level low,
showery pcpn will increase and spread in from the west. It will
also be unstable enough for some embedded thunder. Low freezing
levels will likely result in either some small hail or graupel.
By late in the day as cold air continues to advect in, some
snow may mix in with the rain showers near west central Ohio and
parts of the Whitewater and Miami Valleys. Highs will range
from the lower 40s west to near 50 east.

For Wednesday night, widespread pcpn is expected as the mid
level low continues to slowly rotate southeast. Snow will
continue to mix in with the rain as temperatures slowly fall
overnight. Given warm ground and temperatures still a little
above freezing, not much is expected in terms of snow
accumulation. Lows will fall into the lower to mid 30s.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
It will be chilly and wet Thursday in the brisk northwest flow
under a closed mid level low and associated surface low
positioned over Ohio. Snow may mix with rain showers Thursday
morning, with thunder possible Thursday afternoon when marginal
instability is forecast to develop. The chance for a mix of rain
and snow showers will last through Friday in the persistently
damp cyclonic flow behind the low. An expansive area of high
pressure will bring dry weather Saturday through Sunday. Rain
showers may return Monday due to weakening disturbances
circulating over the Great Lakes. Drier weather is expected for
Tuesday as the next high pressure builds over Ohio.

Well below normal high temperatures in the 40s and lows in the
30s are forecast Thursday and Friday in the northwest flow
behind the low. A warming trend is indicated for the remainder
of the period, with highs rising to around 70 by Tuesday.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Low pressure over north central Illinois this afternoon will
continue to deep as it pivots northeast to a position near
southern Michigan by 00Z Wednesday. As this occurs, a warm front
will lift north across the forecast area, followed by a cold
front that will propagate east from the low this evening.

For this afternoon, clusters of showers and thunderstorms will
move northeast across the terminals. MVFR/IFR conditions can be
expected in the heavier showers and storms. Southerly winds of
15 to 20 knots will gust between 20 and 30 knots, with higher
winds possible in thunderstorms.

For tonight, a convergent band of showers and thunderstorms
will occur along and just ahead of the cold front. This will be
another period for MVFR/IFR conditions.

Once the cold front passes by, CAA will ensue. There will be a
break in deep moisture and lift, so it should dry out behind the
front. However, CAA stratocumulus will wrap southeast into the
region, bringing MVFR ceilings. Winds will be from the
west/southwest around 15 knots with some gusts to 25 knots.

On Wednesday, aforementioned surface low pressure will have
occluded with its parent mid level low. The tandem will slowly
rotate south and east with time. As the day wears on, diurnal
instability will interact with the system to bring showers to
the region from the west. There could even be some embedded
thunderstorms. Some snow may mix in with the rain late in the
day near the KDAY terminal. Winds will remain westerly around 15
knots with gusts to 25 knots.

OUTLOOK...MVFR/IFR ceilings and visibilities likely Wednesday
night into Thursday. MVFR ceilings and visibilities possible
Thursday night into Friday.
