AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
640 PM EST SAT MAR 11 2006
.AVIATION (00Z-24Z)...
MAIN SURFACE BOUNDARY STILL LOCATED TO OUR SOUTH WITH BROAD LOW
LEVEL ISENTROPIC LIFT ACROSS BOUNDARY HELPING TO PRODUCE TRAINING
SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF FA.
BOUNDARY HAS MADE LITTLE NORTHWARD PROGRESS THROUGH THE DAY AND
WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF IT REMAINS TO OUR SOUTH THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT. ISENTROPIC LIFT IS FORECAST TO DECREASE BY LATER THIS
EVENING SO THIS MAY ALLOW FOR PCPN TO TAPER OFF. WILL PLAY TAFS
ACROSS THE SOUTH THAT WAY BUT WILL HAVE TO MONITOR IN CASE PCPN
HANGS ON LONGER. WITH BOUNDARY REMAINING TO OUR SOUTH...WILL ALLOW
FOR SOME MVFR CIGS/VSBYS OVERNIGHT. SOME MODEL DIFFERENCES FOR
TIMING OF PCPN ON SUNDAY AS NAM IS FASTER THAN THE GFS IN BRINGING
THINGS IN THROUGH THE DAY. GIVEN GENERAL SOUTHWEST FLOW UP THROUGH
THE MID LEVELS...AM INCLINED TO THINK SLOWER GFS IS THE WAY TO GO SO
HAVE TRENDED TAFS THAT WAY...BRINGING BEST CHANCE OF PCPN IN DURING
THE LATER PERIOD OF THE TAFS.
