AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
745 PM EDT THU APR 26 2007

.AVIATION /00Z-24Z/...
STRONG CONVECTION AHEAD OF COMPLEX LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES. EXPECT
CONVECTION TO DIMINISH BY 04Z WHEN DEEPER MOISTURE LIFTS NORTHEAST.
MODELS INDICATE PERSISTENT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE SO KEPT MVFR CEILINGS
THROUGH THE FORECAST. BACKED OFF ON SHOWERS LATE IN THE FORECAST
SINCE THERE WILL BE LITTLE FORCING. GUSTY WINDS WILL OCCUR IN THE
TIGHT GRADIENT BEHIND THE LOW AS IT MOVES THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES.
&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
ILN CURRENTLY GOING INTO SEVERE OPERATIONS SO WILL NEED TO KEEP
THIS BRIEF. TOR WATCH 191 ISSUED FOR THE ENTIRE CWA THROUGH 10 PM.
LINE OF CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED ACROSS FAR WRN CWA AND IS
BEGINNING TO REACH SEVERE LEVELS. 18Z ILN SOUNDING INDICATES CAPE
SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN MODELS HAD INDICATED...LIKELY DUE TO BREAKS
IN THE CLOUDS ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION. MODIFIED SOUNDINGS
INDICATE CAPE SHOULD INCREASE TO AOA 1000 J/KG THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON SO EXPECT STORMS TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY.
LOW LEVEL AND DEEP LAYER SHEAR ARE FAVORABLE FOR ORGANIZED
STORMS...INCLUDING SUPERCELLS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES. IN
ADDITION...18Z ILN SOUNDING INDICATES MORE MIDLEVEL DRY AIR THAN
MODELS HAD FORECAST...SO WILL NEED TO KEEP A WATCH FOR DAMAGING
WIND THREAT. COLD FRONT TIMED INTO WRN CWA BETWEEN 00Z AND 03Z AND
OUT OF EASTERN CWA BY 06Z...WITH TSRA THREAT DIMINISHING AFTER
FRONTAL PASSAGE. LOW LEVELS ARE VERY MOIST TOMORROW AND EXPECT OVC
SKIES AND SCATTERED SHOWERS...CLEARING OUT BY SATURDAY.

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
MID LEVEL RIDGING FORECAST TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH
EARLY NEXT WEEK. THIS WILL LEAD TO DRY CONDITIONS AND ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES THROUGH TUESDAY. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL PUSH DOWN FROM
THE NORTH TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. THIS MAY BE ENOUGH TO KICK
OFF A FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...BUT DIURNAL TIMING IS NOT VERY
FAVORABLE SO WILL JUST KEEP A LOW CHANCE POP IN THE FORECAST. WILL
THEN TRY TO DRY THINGS OUT FOR THURSDAY AS SURFACE HIGH BUILDS DOWN
INTO THE AREA.
