AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH 200 PM EDT FRI AUG 10 2001 CONFIDENCE IN FCST WITH FRONTAL PASSAGE/BOUNDARY SETUP IS LOW. MODELS ALL IN SOME KIND OF AGREEMENT, BUT CONVERGENCE FIELDS AND BALOONING SMALL SCALE PRECIP NOTED IN ETA MODEL TONIGHT AND TOMORROW NIGHT IS GOING TO BE A NIGHTMARE. WITH PRE-FRONTAL WINDSHIFT GETTING THROUGH FCST AREA TONIGHT, MODELS KIND OF GO SEPARATE WAYS WITH PLACEMENT OF THE ACTUAL SFC FRONT AND ACCOMPANYING PRECIP. ETA HANGS NORTH THE MOST...WHILE AVN/NGM CONTINUE A STRONG SOUTHEAST PROGRESSION. PROBLEMS WITH 1ST PERIOD OF FCST WILL BE CHANCE FOR SHOWERS TONIGHT...PARTICULARLY AS NOTED IN ETA MODEL. RIGHT NOW 30 AND 40 POPS ARE RUNNING, AND IM INCLINED TO DROP THEM TO WIDELY SCATTERED 20 PERCENT COVERAGE WHICH COMES IN LINE WITH THE MESOETA FIELDS. WILL TREND WITH MESOETA PRECIP FIELDS TO KEY ON PLACEMENT OF POPS. FOR SATURDAY...SFC FRONT NOTED WELL SOUTH OF OH RIVER ON NGM/AVN WHILE ETA HOLDS A BROAD AREA OF LOWER PRESSURE IN S 1/2 OF CWA. MOST OF THE MODELS ARE POINTING AT A CHANCE FOR RAIN DURING THE NIGHT... SO THIS WOULD TREND ME TO THE ETAS SURFACE FEATURES AND WEAK LOW DEVELOPING OVER CWA AS IT RIDES NE THROUGH THE BOUNDARY. WILL WORD AS SCATTERED RIGHT NOW. DRIER AIR WILL HAVE A HARDER TIME GETTING TO SRN CWA OVERNIGHT AND EXPECT A STRONG DIFFERENCE IN FCST TEMPERATURES FROM NW-SE. EXPECT DRIEST AIR NW OF DAYTON AND WARMER PM TEMPERATURES FOR SE 2/3 OF FCST AREA NEXT FEW DAYS. THIS IS NOT TOO FAR FROM MAV AND FWC GUIDANCE...AND EVEN THESE ONLY DIFFER BY ABOUT 2 DEGREES FOR ANY PERIOD. WILL STAY CLOSE TO GUIDANCE ON TEMPS. THANKS TO CLE FOR COORDINATION. .ILN...NONE. FRANKS
