Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wilmington OH
135 AM EDT Thu Apr 3 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
Strong low pressure brings the chance of severe storms and heavy
rain this evening into tonight. Additional waves of low pressure
will cause more rounds of storms with heavy rain Thursday night
through Sunday morning.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
Axis of thunderstorms moving in the area has a mixture of bowing
segments and supercells. This will continue to track across the
forecast area through the night with some decrease in intensity
expected as it gets further east. Strong shear with highly curved
hodographs support the potential for tornadoes in addition to strong
to damaging straight-line winds. Isolated large hail cannot be ruled
out but will not be the primary hazard with this event. In addition,
there will be some locally heavy rainfall, but that should be fairly
transient, so while flooding potential in non-zero, it is on the
lower end of threat.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/...
As the cold front moves through the area Thursday morning, dry air
likely keeps most of the day on the drier side, but PoPs continue to
be mentioned for southern Ohio, northern Kentucky, and southeast
Indiana. With the remnant cold pool boundary likely south of the
area, destabilization and severe weather appears considerably lower
than previously anticipated. This is shows well through the Day 2 SPC
Severe Weather Outlook update earlier this afternoon which limits any
severe threat to the far south (northern Kentucky and southern
Ohio). Depending on the advancement of the convective outflow
overnight, these may be lowered even more.

In response to a shortwave moving northward through the Mississippi
Valley, deep moisture advection occurs Thursday afternoon into the
evening hours. PoPs return and expand across the whole area during
the evening and into the overnight. An additional 1-2 inches is
forecast with this period, with locally higher amounts possible in
convective downpours. Isolated flash flooding is possible, but the
main concern will be the increasing coverage of areal flooding and
rising creeks and rivers due to saturated ground. Most area rivers
will begin to respond to this period of rain as a result.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
The active pattern with widespread showers and thunderstorms will
continue through the weekend as moist southwest flow aloft continues
and several waves of low pressure move east along a quasi-stationary
boundary draped across the Ohio Valley region.

By Friday morning, the boundary should be right along the Ohio
River, but it is forecast to lift north as a warm front Friday
afternoon into Friday night as a somewhat stronger surface wave
develops back to our west. Depending on how far north the front makes
it, we may get into somewhat of a lull in pcpn heading into Friday
night. However, the boundary and pcpn will sag back down into our
area from the northwest through the day on Saturday with another wave
then riding east along the boundary Saturday night into Sunday,
bringing the last round of significant pcpn.

There will be at least a low end severe threat for Friday into
Friday evening, but this will be dependent on how far the front makes
it and the amount of surface based instability that is able to
develop. There could also be a lower end severe threat across our
southeast Saturday afternoon/evening, again dependent on the exact
placement of the boundary and the amount of instability present. But
all in all, the main threat through the weekend remains the potential
for flooding, given the multiple rounds of showers/storms and
periods of heavy rain.

The main axis of heaviest QPF totals still looks to nose up into the
Tri-State area, but our entire area will see more than enough
rainfall through the weekend to result in significant rises on area
creeks and streams, as well as river flooding.

A significant pattern change will develop through the later portions
of the long term period as a deep upper level trough settles in
across the Great Lakes region. This will lead to unseasonably cool
temperatures and some lower end chances for showers Monday through
Wednesday.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Widespread showers and thunderstorms will quickly advance east
through the remainder of the night. Some IFR conditions can be
expected in heavier showers and storms. LLWS will continue until
morning as a strong LLJ moves away to the east.

A cold front will move across the TAF sites from 12Z to 15Z. Winds
will be decreasing as the front moves through. In addition, the MVFR
ceilings are forecast to improve shortly after frontal passage. This
will leave VFR conditions with westerly winds around 10 kt.

OUTLOOK...Periods of showers and thunderstorms will occur Thursday
night into Sunday. This will result in MVFR/IFR conditions from time
to time.
