AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH 314 PM EDT THU JUL 19 2001 UPPER AIR PATTERN SHOWS TROF ALONG THE EAST COAST WITH A RIDGE OVER THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. OUR AREA IS EXPERIENCING A NORTHERLY FLOW ALOFT BETWEEN THE TROF AND RIDGE. THIS PATTERN IS FCST TO PERSIST THROUGH THE NEXT TWO DAYS...THOUGH OUR AREA WILL HAVE SLIGHT H5 HEIGHT FALLS AS THE EASTERN TROF AMPLIFIES A BIT. SFC MAP SHOWS PERSISTENT HIGH TO THE EAST AND WEAK LOW TO THE WEST...WITH A SOUTHERLY FLOW OF VERY MOIST AIR FEEDING INTO THE OHIO VALLEY. A WEAK BOUNDARY IS LOCATED NEAR DAYTON...WITH LOW 70S DEW POINTS ACROSS SOUTHERN OHIO AND NORTHERN KENTUCKY. MODELS FCST THE BOUNDARY TO DROP SLOWLY SOUTH OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS IN RESPONSE TO AMPLIFYING EAST COAST TROF. DEW POINTS ARE PROGGED TO DROP OFF SLIGHTLY INTO THE 60S AS THE FRONT MOVES SOUTH AND DRIER AIR ADVECTS IN FROM THE EAST. CURRENT RADAR SHOWS SCT SHRA IN OUR NORTHERN COUNTIES MOVING SLOWLY SOUTH IN UPPER FLOW. I'LL NEED EVENING PERIOD TO COVER THIS LEFTOVER ACTIVITY.
