AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH 655 AM EST TUE NOV 15 2005 .AVIATION (12Z-12Z)... SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO AFFECT ALL TERMINALS. EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY TO DIMINISH FROM SOUTH TO NORTH BETWEEN LATE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON. EXPECT GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS WITH TEMPORARY MVFR. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE AT THE NORTHERN TAF SITES WHERE IFR CLOUDS WILL OCCUR FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS. ONCE PRECIPITATION HAS LIFTED TO THE NORTH THERE WILL BE BROKEN VFR CEILINGS AND GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS. A FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE BUT THE CHANCE IS TOO LOW TO INCLUDE IN THE FORECAST AT THIS TIME. A LINE OF STORMS ASSOCIATED WITH A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE TERMINALS BETWEEN 02Z AND 07Z. AFTER THE FRONT PASSES THERE WILL BE GUSTY WEST TO SOUTHWEST WINDS. CURRENTLY IT APPEARS THAT STRATOCUMULUS BEHIND THE FRONT WILL BE ABOVE 3000 FEET. && .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 457 AM EST TUE NOV 15 2005) SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY)... SFC WARMFRONT LIFTING UP THROUGH FORECAST AREA AT THIS TIME...WITH MAINLY ELEVATED CONVECTION RUNNING ALONG THE OHIO RIVER. NOSE OF 50-60 KT LLJ COMBINED WITH PRECIP EFFICIENCIES TO UP TO 1.3 INCHES AND GOOD LL CONVERGENCE PROMPTED A FLOOD WATCH FOR GENERALLY THE CINCINNATI TRI STATE THROUGH MID MORNING. AS LLJ AND ITS GRADIENT LIFTS NORTH THROUGH THE DAY...THE HEAVY RAIN THREAT WILL TRANSITION FURTHER NORTH AND A BIT WEST FOR THIS AFTERNOON. AFTER THIS MORNING...MUCH OF FORECAST AREA GETS INTO THE WARM SECTOR...WITH SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY LESSENING INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS. BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON...THE VERY SHARP TROF BEGINS TO SURGE NNE FROM CETNRAL PLAINS...BRINGING AN AREA OF 60+ KTS OF LOW LEVEL SHEAR INTO INDIANA BY LATE AFTERNOON. BEST FORCING DOESNT APPROACH WESTERN FORECAST AREA UNTIL NEAR 00Z...BUT EVEN THOUGH TIMING NOT AS FAVORABLE AS AREAS TO OUR WEST...LOW LEVEL CAPES STILL OVER 300 J/KG THROUGH 03Z IN FAR WEST AHEAD OF FRONT WILL COINCIDE WITH STRONG BOUNDARY LAYER SHEAR. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WINDS AND POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED TORNADOES IS MAIN THREAT THROUGH PRIMARILY 06Z. WTH STRONG CAA BEHIND SFC FRONT...DAYTIME HIGHS FOR WED WILL MAINLY BE NEAR 12Z. IN WRAP AROUND MOISTURE...AM ANTICIPATING SOME RAIN SNOW MIX IN ESPECIALLY NORTHERN FA THROUGH WED MID DAY...BEFORE MOISTURE EXITS THE REGION BY 00Z THURS. SOME POTENTIAL FOR A WIND ADVISORY IN ESPECIALLY NORTHERN FA FOR WEDNESDAY...BUT A BIT PREMATURE AT THIS TIME FOR ISSUANCE. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 451 PM EST MON NOV 14 2005) LONG TERM (THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY)... THURSDAY STARTS OUT WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE MIDWEST SETTLING OVER THE OHVLY. THIS HIGH GETS STRUNG OUT ALONG THE APPALACHIANS AS A SFC LOW TRACKS THROUGH THE GTLKS REGION AND SWINGS A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA. APEX OF H5 TROF SWINGS JUST S OF LMICH/LERI AND LOW CHANCE POPS WERE KEPT IN FOR THE NORTH. I DID NOT DISCRIMINATE BTWN S AND R FOR THIS TIME AS THICKNESSES AND SFC TEMPS WOULD SUPPORT EITHER OR AND POSSIBLY BOTH. LONG WAVE TROF TO COME OVER THE GREAT LAKES DURING THE DAY SAT AND KEEP A COLD AIRMASS OVER THE REGION ON SUN. STRENGTH OF CAA WILL DETERMINE HOW MUCH/IF SNOW SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP IN THE COLD POOL. LATEST 12Z RUN OF GFS IS ENTIRELY DIFFERENT FROM THIS RUN AND CONFIDENCE FOR EXTENDED FORECAST IS IN THE CELLAR AS FCST OFFICES TO WEST ARE GOING WITH CURRENT RUN AND ERN FCST OFFICES ARE WITH HPC FORECAST AND THE 0Z GFS/ECMWF SOLUTIONS. KEPT TEMPERATURES ON THE COOL SIDE WITH DAYTIME HIGHS ONLY REACHING THE 40S AND OVERNIGHT LOWS DROPPING TO THE UPPER 20S TO AROUND 30 THROUGH THE PERIOD.
