NWS Wilmington, OH wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 13, 5:20 AM EST, 3 hours 10 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH 620 AM EDT THU JUL 13 2006 .AVIATION /12Z-12Z/... SCATTERED SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUING TO LIFT NORTHEAST THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY THIS MORNING BUT THEY ARE GENERALLY REMAINING TO THE SOUTH OF THE TAF SITES. BASED ON CURRENT MOVEMENT...THINK THAT THIS TREND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE EARLY PORTION OF THE TAFS WITH BEST PCPN SOUTH OF TAF SITES. STILL THOUGH...WITH SOME SPOTTY SHOWER ACTIVITY POSSIBLE...WILL GO WITH A VCSH THROUGH THE FIRST FEW HOURS AND ALLOW FOR SOME MVFR VSBY RESTRICTIONS FOR BR. BOUNDARY FORECAST TO SAG SLOWLY SOUTH THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON BUT 06Z NAM-WRF AND GFS ALONG WITH THE LATEST RUC...INDICATING THAT IT MAY STAY A LITTLE FARTHER NORTH THAN EARLIER THINKING. NAM-WRF ALSO INDICATING A NARROW BAND OF BETTER INSTABILITIES JUST OUT AHEAD OF BOUNDARY. THIS ALONG WITH SOME LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE...MAY BE ENOUGH TO KICK OFF A NARROW LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON. TOUGH TO PINPOINT EXACTLY WHERE THIS WILL BE THOUGH SO THINK BEST WAY TO HANDLE SITUATION IS WITH A VCTS AT THE TAF SITES THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS. THINK WE MAY START TO SEE AT LEAST SOME PARTIAL CLEARING FROM THE NORTH THIS EVENING. FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATING GOOD DEAL OF LINGERING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE THOUGH AND THIS WILL LIKELY LEAD TO SOME FOG/STRATUS DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. && .PREV DISCUSSIONS... THE FOLLOWING WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED AT 400 AM EDT THU JUL 13 2006 SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... CURRENT SURFACE MAP DEPICTS WEAK COLD FRONT ACROSS NORTHERN OHIO...JUST NORTH OF CWA THIS MORNING. WEAK LOW PRESSURE ACROSS THE CENTRAL INDIANA. RADAR IMAGERY SHOWS SHOWERS LOCATED ACROSS SOUTHERN HALF OF CWA. AFOREMENTIONED FRONT WILL SLOWLY SAG SOUTH TODAY. GFS IS A BIT SLOWER THAN NAM/WRF. WILL STICK CLOSE TO GFS SOLUTION SINCE IT SEEMS TO BE HANDLING CURRENT SITUATION BETTER. WITH THIS IN MIND...HAVE INCREASE POPS ACROSS THE SOUTH TODAY TO LIKELY. TEMPS WILL BE TRICKY ONCE AGAIN...HAVE STUCK CLOSE TO MAV NUMBERS WITH GFS BEING PREFERRED SOLUTION. FRONT WASHES OUT NEAR THE OHIO RIVER EARLY FRIDAY. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN BEHIND IT. SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL KEEP HUMID CONDITIONS ACROSS THE REGION...AND A CHANCE OF AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. STUCK CLOSE TO MAV NUMBERS FOR REMAINDER OF PERIOD.
