Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wilmington OH
825 AM EDT Wed Mar 19 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
Dry conditions will be present through a large portion of the day on
Wednesday. Winds will be gusty on Wednesday with showers starting to
move in late in the day. Overnight Wednesday, a pre-frontal trough
will move east through the region, with an accompanying line of
thunderstorms. On Thursday, a cold front will follow this trough and
may produce a few additional lighter showers.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 8 PM THIS EVENING/...
For today, a low pressure system approaches the Ohio Valley from the
Mississippi River Valley. Warm southerly flow east of the low helps
highs peak into the 60s west of I-75 to the upper 70s southeast of
the Scioto River Valley. Warm temperatures, gusty winds, and low dew
points lead to low relative humidity this afternoon leading to some
possible fire weather concerns.

&&

.SHORT TERM /8 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...
The aforementioned low pressure system moves through the Great Lakes
northwest of the Ohio Valley tonight. Southerly winds continue up
until FROPA with increasing moisture returning just ahead of the
front. Despite weak moisture return, some showers and storms are
possible overnight with strong forcing arriving. Gusty winds are
likely to occur inside shower/storm activity due to strong LLJ winds
aloft being mixed down because of evaporative cooling in the shallow
inverted V thermodynamic profile. While a more traditional severe
risk cannot be ruled out, instability will likely be a limiting
factor despite shear being strong. Winds shift to the west/southwest
behind the initial front and line of showers by daybreak and
temperatures will start to drop.

For Thursday, the low pressure system keeps progressing northeast of
the area bringing a secondary cold front through on Thursday. Winds
shift more to northwest behind the second front. The chance for some
light showers, and some snow showers, persists through the day with
upper level troughing moving overhead. Temperatures hold steady, or
drop, after daybreak due to strong CAA. Wind gusts will likely
approach 30 mph.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Mid level ridging will shift quickly east across the Ohio Valley
through the day on Friday. A progressive zonal flow pattern will
then set up across much of the CONUS through the weekend and into
early next week with fast moving short waves moving east in the
flow. The first short wave will move across the Great Lakes region
Friday night into Saturday. The better forcing and moisture with
this look to remain mainly to our north though, so will just allow
for some lower end pops. A somewhat stronger short wave will then
move through the region Sunday into Monday, leading to more
widespread showers. Daytime readings will be fairly seasonable
through the long term period with afternoon highs mostly in the
upper 40s and 50s.

&&

.AVIATION /13Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
VFR conditions with VFR ceilings persist through at least 0000z
Thursday. Between 0000z and 0800z Thursday, a cold front will move
in from the west bringing the chance for showers and a few
thunderstorms. MVFR ceilings are likely to develop after FROPA
Thursday morning.

Breezy southerly wind continues for most of the TAF period before
veering to the southwest after FROPA tonight. Stronger wind gusts are
likely inside shower activity tonight just prior to FROPA as LLJ
winds mix down. Additionally, a strong LLJ will provide LLWS prior
to FROPA this evening.

OUTLOOK... No significant weather.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
The widespread strong winds today will combine with low relative
humidity along and east of the Scioto River, including Adams and
Lewis counties but excepting Franklin and Delaware counties.

Sustained winds of 15 mph with gusts of 25-30 mph and relative
humidites under 30% have increased the threat of wildfires today,
especially with very dry grasses and leaf litter.

&&

.ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
OH...Red Flag Warning until 10 PM EDT this evening for OHZ056-064-065-
     073-074-081-082-088.
