NWS Wilmington, OH wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 28, 3:10 PM EST, 5 hours 20 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH 410 PM EDT MON AUG 28 2006 .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... UPPER FLOW HAS BACKED TO SOUTHWEST AHEAD OF A TROUGH DIGGING INTO THE CENTRAL CONUS. TROUGH IS PROGGED TO MOVE EAST AND FORM A CUT OFF LOW OVER THE OHIO VALLEY BY THE END OF THE SHORT TERM. SURFACE LOW ENTERED OVER EASTERN ILLINOIS IS PROGGED TO MEANDER THROUGH INDIANA AND OHIO TONIGHT. CURRENT LINE OF THOUGHT IS THAT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL FILL BACK IN THIS EVENING AS INSTABILITY RECOVERS AFTER PREVIOUS RAIN. LOWERED POPS TO 50 EARLY THIS EVENING...THEN KEPT 100% LATE EVENING...DECREASING AFTER MIDNIGHT. AFTER THE LOW MOVES EAST...EXPECT A LULL ON TUESDAY WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS PERSISTING ONLY IN OUR SOUTHEAST COUNTIES. SCATTERED TO ISOLATED SHOWERS MAY OCCUR ON WEDNESDAY WITH THE ARRIVAL OF THE UPPER LOW. FLOODING MAY BE A CONCERN TONIGHT AS SOILS HAVE BECOME MORE SATURATED DURING THE PAST 24 HOURS. MOST LOCATIONS RECEIVED HEAVY RAIN TODAY...WITH CINCINNATI/HAMILTON COUNTY RECORDING SOME OF THE HIGHER RAINFALL TOTALS. DUE TO CLOUD COVER...HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY BE BELOW NORMAL AND LOW TEMPERATURES ABOVE NORMAL. RAISED LOWS THROUGH THE SHORT TERM IN ANTICIPATION OF THIS TREND. CONIGLIO && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... QUITE A BIT MORE UNCERTAINTY HAS BEEN INTRODUCED INTO THE EXTENDED PERIOD FROM MODEL RUNS OF THE PAST FEW DAYS WHICH WERE SUGGESTING RELATIVELY BENIGN WX RIGHT INTO THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. MAIN REASON FOR THIS SHIFT IS DUE TO UNCERTAINTIES SURROUNDING EVENTUAL TRACK OF ERNESTO UP THE CONUS EAST COAST. 12Z GFS AND TO LESSER EXTENT 00Z/06Z GFS AND 12Z NAM ALL HINTING AT BETTER CHANCE FOR PCPN ACRS SRN 1/2 FCST AREA FOR THURS AND FRI AS ERNESTO LIFTS INTO MID ATLC REGION AND UPR LO CURRENTLY OVER NRN PLAINS SHIFTS EAST INTO OH VLY BY THURS. UPR LO STRUGGLES TO PUSH ANY FURTHER EAST BEYOND THIS POINT AS IT RUNS INTO MID/UPR LVL FLO PATTERN SURROUNDING ERNESTO. AT THIS POINT...DO NOT FEEL PCPN CHANCES ARE GREAT FOR THURS AND FRI BECAUSE OF PREDOMINANT SFC AND BNDRY LYR E/NE FLO ACRS REGION TO NW OF ERNESTO. THIS USUALLY LEADS TO A DRIER LO LVL FLO BEING ADVECTED INTO FCST AREA FROM NORTHEAST. IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT HISTORICALLY WHEN TROPICAL SYSTEMS HAVE REMAINED NEAR OR JUST OFF THE COAST...ASSOCD PCPN SHIELD HAS A DIFFICULT TIME GETTING ANY FURTHER WEST THAN APPALACHIAN MTNS. BELIEVE THAT MODELS ARE ATTEMPTING TO PRODUCE TOO MUCH QPF FOR THURS AND FRI AND WITH PLENTY OF UNCERTAINTY...WILL MAINTAIN DRY FCST ATTM. MODEL CONSENSUS DVLPS DEEP UPR LO OVER NRN PLAINS OVER THE WEEKEND...WITH A FRNTL BNDRY EXTENDING FROM AN OCCLUDED LO AT THE SFC. FROPA TIMING VARIES WIDELY AMONGST EXTENDED MODELS BTWN SUN AFTN INTO ERLY NEXT WEEK. ERNESTO WILL REMAIN A FACTOR IN HOW THE WX PATTERN EVOLVES THRU THE WEEKEND...AS STRONG SFC HI AND MID LVL RIDGING DVLPG OVER NEW ENGLAND WILL IMPEDE A NRLY MOVEMENT TO ERNESTO. DO NOT THINK IT WOULD BE OUT OF THE QUESTION THAT ERNESTO COULD EFFECTIVELY SLOW EASTWARD PROGRESSION OF NRN PLAINS UPR LO INTO ERLY NEXT WEEK. IN FACT...12Z GFS AND ECMWF SOLNS ALREADY STARTING TO HINT AT THIS POSSIBILITY. FOR NOW...WILL INDICATE A 30 POP FOR SUN AND MON. TEMPS WILL BE NEAR TO SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL THRU THE PERIOD...MAKING FOR A COMFORTABLE START TO SEPTEMBER. RYAN && .AVIATION /18Z-18Z/... EXPECT MAINLY MVFR CEILINGS INTO THE EVENING EXCEPT IN THE COLUMBUS AREA WHERE CLOUDS HEIGHTS SHOULD REMAIN A LITTLE HIGHER. CURRENT AREA OF CONVECTION WILL MOVE OUT OF THE REGION IN THE NEXT HOUR OR SO. STILL EXPECT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO REDEVELOP TO THE WEST AND THEN AFFECT ALL TERMINALS AFTER 21Z. PRECIPITATION COULD CONTINUE WELL INTO THE NIGHT ALTHOUGH IT MAY NOT BE A SOLID AREA. SO GIVEN POTENTIAL LONG TIME SPAN WITH UNCERTAINTY ON WHEN ANY PARTICULAR TAF SITE WILL BE AFFECTED HAVE USED VC QUALIFIER AFTER AN INITIAL TEMPO PERIOD. ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL RESULT IN LIFR CEILINGS DEVELOPING AREAWIDE OVERNIGHT WITH ONLY GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT TOWARDS THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
