NWS Wilmington, OH wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 5, 1:31 AM EST, 2 hours 29 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH 231 AM EDT SUN JUN 5 2005 .SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY)... SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS BROAD SOUTHERLY FLOW ACROSS FORECAST AREA WITH COLD FRONT OVER EASTERN NEBRASKA AND EASTERN KANSAS. SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS PLENTY OF CONVECTION OVER MID MISSISSIPPI AHEAD OF COLD FRONT. OVER FA SKIES ARE CLEAR. MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH SYNOPTIC PATTERN BUT VARY SOME WITH DETAILS SUCH AS THE TIMING OF BEST LIFT. FOR NOW WILL TAKE A BLEND OF GFS AND NAM FOR THREAT OF CONVECTION. SEVERAL CONCERNS FOR THE FORECAST TODAY. FIRST IS HEAT. UPPER RIDGE OVER THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY WILL SLOWLY DRIFT EAST. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR PLENTY OF SUNSHINE. TDS ARE EXPECTED TO SLOWLY RISE INTO THE UPPER 60S TO NEAR 70 WITH SOUTHERLY FLOW AND EVAPOTRANSPIRATION. LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES AND 850 TEMPS SUGGEST TEMPS WILL CLIMB TO AROUND 90 IF NOT A DEGREE OR TWO MORE. AS A RESULT HEAT INDEX VALUES WILL CLIMB INTO THE MID TO UPPER 90S. THIS WILL FEEL OPPRESSIVE CONSIDERING THE COOL SPRING WE HAVE HAD. THUS WILL HIGHLIGHT IN THE ZONES AND ISSUE AN SPS FOR WHOLE FORECAST AREA WITH CONCENTRATION ON THE THREE URBAN AREAS. SECOND CONCERN IS FOR EVENING CONVECTION. SYNOPTIC FORCING SHOULD INITIATE THUNDERSTORMS OVER INDIANA AND WESTERN KENTUCKY BY LATE AFTERNOON. THESE STORMS WILL THEN ROLE INTO WESTERN OHIO THIS EVENING. NAM SUGGESTS MODERATE INSTABILITY THIS AFT INTO THIS EVENING WITH 0-4 KM SHEAR AROUND 20 M/S. SURFACE DELTA THETA-E SUGGESTS DAMAGING DOWNBURST POTENTIAL WITH STRONGER STORMS. WILL HOLD OF ON SEVERE WORDING FOR THIS EVENING...HOWEVER PLAN TO ADD STRONG WORDING IN THE WEST. WILL ALSO ADD TO THE HWO. AFTER THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...THE UPPER FLOW SWINGS FROM WEST TO SOUTHWEST AGAIN. AT THIS POINT NOW REAL LARGE ASCENT IS AVAILABLE. HOWEVER, IT WILL CONTINUE TO STAY WARM MUGGY. MAV TEMPS LOOK PRETTY CLOSE...EXCEPT FOR TODAY. WENT CLOSER WITH THE WARMER MET. TIPTON && .LONG TERM (TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)... NO CHANGES MADE IN THE EXTENDED. FOR THOUGHTS OF PREVIOUS FORECAST SEE DISCUSSION BELOW. TIPTON && .AVIATION (06Z-06Z)... SURFACE HIGH WELL ESTABLISHED ACROSS THE SE US. MID LEVEL RIDGE WILL STAY IN CONTROL THROUGHOUT MOST OF THE DAY TODAY. SOME S/W ENERGY AND BDRY LAYER FORCING WILL BEGIN TO AFFECT THE ILN FA LATER TODAY AND OVERNIGHT. INITIAL FCST PROBLEM WILL BE THE FOG. TEMP-DEWPOINT SPREAD NOT AS LOW AS YESTERDAY AT THIS TIME. CURRENTLY LOOKS LIKE MAINLY MVFR CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP EXCEPT AT KLUK WHERE IFR CONDITIONS ALREADY OBSERVED. DURING THE DAY...EXPECT FEW-SCT CU TO DEVELOP BY MID-MORNING. THIS WILL PERSIST DURING THE DAY. HAVE INTRODUCED CHC POPS LATE WITH THE WRN TAF SITES...AND NOT UNTIL AFTER 00Z FOR THE ERN SITES. ONSET OF CONVECTION MAY CONTINUE TO SLIP. FEEL THE PRECIP WILL OCCUR MAINLY AFTER 00Z. && .PREVIOUS DISCUSSIONS... (ISSUED 330 PM EDT SAT JUN 4 2005) LONG TERM (MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)... SHORT WAVE ENERGY WILL PUSH OFF TO OUR EAST THROUGH THE DAY ON MONDAY SO WILL TAPER BACK POPS FROM WEST TO EAST DURING THE DAYTIME HOURS. MID LEVEL RIDGING THEN BUILDS BACK INTO THE AREA THROUGH WEDNESDAY. WITH TEMPS IN THE LOW TO MID 80S AND DEWPOINTS UP INTO THE 60S...THERE SHOULD BE SOME DECENT INSTABILITIES TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY IN THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. HOWEVER WITH LACK OF FORCING...DO NOT EXPECT MUCH MORE THAN AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM...MAINLY DIURNALLY DRIVEN. WILL THEREFORE TRY TO KEEP IT DRY FOR BOTH TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY ATTM. LOOKS LIKE RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO BREAK DOWN THROUGH THE LATER PART OF THE LONG RANGE SO WILL INCLUDE A SLIGHT TO LOW CHANCE POP TOWARD THE WEEKEND. HAVE GENERALLY GONE NEAR OR A LITTLE COOLER THAN GUIDANCE AND WHAT MIGHT BE SUGGESTED BY THE LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES AND 850 TEMPS AS WE HAVE HAD A TOUGH TIME WARMING UP SO FAR THIS YEAR. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...NONE. KY...NONE. IN...NONE. && SHORT TERM... LONG TERM... AVIATION...

TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE THE OHIO VALLEY HAS JUST EXPERIENCED A COOL MONTH OF MAY WHERE THE MEAN TEMPERATURE WAS NEARLY 4 DEGREES BELOW AVERAGE FOR THE MONTH. BELOW ARE SOME HEAT RELATED SAFETY TIPS TO HELP COPE WITH THIS WARM SPELL: DRINK PLENTY OF WATER AND NON-ALCOHOLIC FLUIDS. WEAR LOOSE...LIGHTWEIGHT AND LIGHT COLORED CLOTHES. BE CAREFUL HOW YOU USE YOUR FANS. A FAN POINTED DIRECTLY AT PERSON MAY DEHYDRATE THE PERSON BY REMOVING MOISTURE FROM THE SKIN. USE A CIRCULATING FAN INSTEAD TO MOVE AIR THROUGH THE ROOM. DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN AND PETS UNATTENDED IN A CLOSED VEHICLE. BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR AND FRIEND. CHECK ON THOSE WHO MAY BE AT HIGH RISK FOR HEAT-RELATED ILLNESS. INDIVIDUALS ON ANTI-DEPRESSANTS AND HEART MEDICATIONS SHOULD CHECK WITH THEIR DOCTOR TO SEE IF THE HEAT PUTS THEM AT INCREASED RISK. TIPTON
