AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH 1130 AM EDT THU JUN 30 2005 .SHORT TERM (REST OF TODAY)... WELL DEFINED OUTFLOW EXTENDING INTO WEST CENTRAL ATTM. THIS FEATURE WILL CONTINUE TO BE A FOCUSING MECHANISM FOR CONVECTIVE DEVLOPMENT AS IT LAYS OUT SOMEWHERE ALONG THE I-70 CORRIDOR. VERY LITTLE IN THE WAY OF LARGE SCALE FORCING FOR ASCENT TODAY...AND NO KINETMATICS TO SPEAK OF EITHER WITH WINDS LESS THAN 25 KNOTS THROUGH THE ATMOSPHERE. WILL STILL SEE PLENTY OF STRONG TO LOCALLY SEVERE CONVECTION HOWEVER GIVEN IMPRESSIVE THERMODYNAMICS AND PLENTY OF CONVECTION INITIATED OFF LOW LEVEL BOUNDARIES. HAVE RAISED POPS ACROSS THE BOARD AND CHANGED WORDING TO COVERAGE TERMINOLOGY. BEST COVERAGE WILL BE ALONG AND NORTH OF I-70...BUT ANYWHERE COULD SEE CONVECTION TODAY. LOWERED TEMPERATURES IN THE NORTHWEST GIVEN CURRENT SATELLITE AND RADAR TRENDS...AND RAISED IN THE SOUTH WHERE MORE SUN WILL BE REALIZED. && .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 650 AM EDT THU JUN 30 2005) AVIATION (12Z-12Z)... EXPECT SOME RESTRICTION TO VISIBILITY TO CONTINUE WELL INTO THE MORNING BUT THIS SHOULD COME UP TO VFR IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED TO THE WEST OF KDAY BUT IT HAS BEEN SLOW MOVING SO IT MAY NOT EVEN IMPACT THAT TERMINAL. FORCING IS RATHER WEAK THROUGH THE DAY BUT A SUBTLE SHORT WAVE PASSING THROUGH THE REGION COULD PRODUCE SOME THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON. THERE WILL BE A BETTER CHANCE FROM LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING WHEN INSTABILITY IS THE GREATEST. EXPECT SOME HAZE AND MIST TO LOWER VISIBILITY AGAIN AFTER DARK. THEN THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR A CONVECTIVE LINE TO DEVELOP AND MOVE ACROSS THE TAF SITES LATE IN THE FORECAST PERIOD. HOWEVER THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH THIS. SO HAVE JUST INCLUDED AS VCTS FOR NOW. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...NONE. KY...NONE. IN...NONE. && SHORT TERM...JOHNSTONE
