NWS Wilmington, OH wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 16, 7:10 PM EST, 50 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH 810 PM EDT SAT JUL 16 2005 .SHORT TERM (TONIGHT)... WENT AHEAD AND UPDATED ZONES TO PULL POPS BACK TO 30 PERCENT ACROSS AREA FOR OVERNIGHT AND HUNG ON TO AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM INTO THE EARLY MORNING. ALSO KEPT MOSTLY CLOUDY THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT AS WE DO EXPECT AREAS THAT CLEAR OFF LATER THIS EVENING TO SEE SOME STRATUS DEVELOPMENT LATER ON TONIGHT. && .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... THE FOLLOWING WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED AT 333 PM EDT SAT JUL 16 2005 AVIATION (00Z-24Z)... SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS PERSISTING ACROSS THE AREA EARLY THIS EVENING BUT BASED ON RADAR TRENDS...THEY DO APPEAR TO BE DECREASING IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY SOMEWHAT OVER THE PAST HOUR OR SO. WILL GO AHEAD AND HANG ON TO A VCTS FOR THE FIRST COUPLE OF HOURS OF THE TAFS AND THEN TRY TO DRY THINGS OUT OVERNIGHT. FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATING PLENTY OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WITH FAVORABLE CONDITIONS FOR STRATUS DEVELOPMENT. WILL THEREFORE TRY TO BRING SOME MVFR CLOUDS BACK IN LATER TONIGHT ALONG WITH SOME MVFR FOG. LOOKS LIKE MORE OF THE SAME FOR SUNDAY WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BECOMING MORE WIDESPREAD THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS. THE FOLLOWING WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED AT 333 PM EDT SAT JUL 16 2005 SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT)... WITH THE REMAINS OF DENNIS CONTINUING TO DISSOCIATE...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WERE MOVING ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON. TEMPS RANGED FROM THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S WHILE SFC DEW POINTS WERE IN THE LOW 70S. FOR TONIGHT...AS HAS BEEN THE CASE THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS...PCPN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY WILL DECREASE AS THE EVENING PROGRESSES...WITH LOWS MAINLY IN THE LOWER 70S. FOR SUNDAY...THE GFS AND NAM BOTH SHOW A S/W MOVING ACROSS THE AREA. GIVEN THIS...PERSISTENCE...PROGGED INSTABILITY...AND GUIDANCE POPS...SCATTERED/NUMEROUS COVERAGE LOOKS REASONABLE AGAIN...TAPERING OFF INTO THE EVENING. HIGH TEMPS SHOULD BE A BIT HIGHER THAN TODAY...MAINLY IN THE MID 80S...ALTHOUGH LOCAL PCPN TIMING WILL HAVE A PROFOUND EFFECT ON THE HIGH TEMPERATURE AT ANY GIVEN LOCATION. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL MAINLY BE IN THE LOWER 70S AGAIN. THE FOLLOWING WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED AT 333 PM EDT SAT JUL 16 2005 LONG TERM (MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)... MODELS HAVE BEEN TRENDING FASTER WITH A COLD FRONT WHICH WILL CROSS THE REGION LATE MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY MORNING. THE NAM IS MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH CONVECTION ALONG A PREFRONTAL TROUGH AND LITTLE OR NO PRECIPITATION WITH THE FRONT. HAVE TRENDED TOWARDS A GFS SOLUTION WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING WITH HEATING ON MONDAY AND THEN CONTINUED ACTIVITY AS THE FRONT CROSSES THE REGION. THE TAIL END OF THE FRONT MAY STILL BE NEAR THE OHIO RIVER ON WEDNESDAY BEFORE WASHING OUT SO DECIDED TO KEEP A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AT THAT TIME. OTHERWISE IT SHOULD BE A QUIET PERIOD. NEXT FRONT IS CURRENTLY FORECAST TO REMAIN ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES ALTHOUGH THERE IS SOME POTENTIAL FOR IT TO SAG FURTHER SOUTH. IN ADDITION MOISTURE WILL BE RETURNING SO HAVE ADDED A LOW CHANCE OF MAINLY DIURNAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...NONE. KY...NONE. IN...NONE. &&
