AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH 144 PM EDT SUN APR 15 2007 .AVIATION /18Z-18Z/... LOW CLOUDS WERE SWIRLING AROUND LOW PRESSURE OFF THE EAST COAST THIS AFTERNOON. MVFR CIGS WILL GIVE WAY TO VFR CONDITIONS WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE TERMINALS THROUGH 22Z. TONIGHT...A WEAK DISTURBANCE WILL DRIFT SE ACROSS THE TERMINALS 01Z-06Z...EXCEPTING KLUK AND KCVG. MOISTURE IS LACKING...BUT WILL CONTINUE VCSH AT THOSE TERMINALS...AND CONDITIONALLY...A R/S MIX IS POSSIBLE. SKIES SHOULD REMAIN SCT IN THE WAKE OF DISTURBANCE...ALTHOUGH VFR CIGS WILL REFORM AT KCMH AND KLCK BY 15Z. N/NW/NE GUSTING OVER 20 KTS AT TIMES WILL SHIFT NW OVERNIGHT AND SLACKEN SOMEWHAT...PICKING UP AND GUSTING OVER 20 KTS AT TIMES AFTER 14Z AGAIN. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 908 AM EDT SUN APR 15 2007/ SHORT TERM /REST OF TODAY/... HAVE UPDATED FOR EXPIRATION OF FREEZE WARNING. CLEARING WAS PUSHING SLOWLY SE ACROSS NW OHIO THIS MORNING. NO REAL CHANGES TO FCST AND WILL SEND ANOTHER UPDATE LATER THIS MORNING AS CLOUD COVER CHANGES. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 310 AM EDT SUN APR 15 2007/ SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... BETTER RADAR RETURNS HAVE PULLED OUT OF OUR FA THIS MORNING BUT WE ARE SEEING SOME PATCHY DRIZZLE ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA. EXPECT TO SEE PATCHY DRIZZLE CONTINUE THROUGH ABOUT DAYBREAK WHEN FORECAST SOUNDINGS BEGIN TO INDICATE SOME LOW LEVEL DRYING. TEMPERATURES RUNNING RIGHT AT FREEZING ACROSS THE FAR NORTHWEST WITH TEMPS A FEW DEGREES ABOVE FREEZING ELSEWHERE. DO NOT EXPECT TEMPS TO FALL ANY MORE THROUGH DAYBREAK THOUGH WITH CLOUDS IN PLACE AND TEMPS TO OUR NORTH ACTUALLY A LITTLE WARMER. AS A RESULT...THINK FREEZING DRIZZLE WILL NOT BE A PROBLEM. FREEZE WARNING APPEARS MARGINAL BUT WILL LEAVE IT UP SINCE TEMPS ARE SO CLOSE TO FREEZING. WILL HANG ON TO A LOW CHANCE OF SHOWERS ACROSS THE FAR SOUTHEAST/ EAST PORTIONS OF THE FA AS MODELS CONTINUE TO SKIRT OUR FA WITH A LITTLE DEEPER MOISTURE ON INTO THIS AFTERNOON. TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL LEAD TO BRISK NORTHERLY WINDS TODAY AND WITH FAIR AMOUNT OF CLOUDS...THINK GUIDANCE IS TOO WARM FOR HIGHS AND WILL UNDERCUT SEVERAL DEGREES. BOTH THE NAM AND GFS ARE INDICATING A MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE PIVOTING DOWN ACROSS AREA TONIGHT. THIS IS ACCOMPANIED BY A LITTLE DEEPER MOISTURE AND THINK THIS WILL BE ENOUGH TO PRODUCE AT LEAST SOME WIDELY SCATTERED RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS LATER TONIGHT. TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT REMAINS ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT INTO MONDAY SO EXPECT BREEZY CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE THROUGH MONDAY. RIDGING FINALLY BEGINS TO PUSH INTO OUR AREA FOR TUESDAY WHICH SHOULD LEAD TO A DECREASE IN THE WINDS AND SOME WARMER TEMPERATURES. /ISSUED 311 PM EDT SAT APR 14 2007/ LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... PERIOD BEGINS WITH OMEGA PATTERN ACROSS THE CONTINENTAL US. FA IS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE H5 LOW COMPRISING RIGHT ARM OF THE OMEGA. THERE WAS A WEAK HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE AT THE SFC. 00Z AND 06Z GFS ALONG WITH THE ECMWF KEEP THE FA IN THE NLY FLOW AROUND THE LOW BEFORE SWINGING A PIECE OF ENERGY ACROSS THE REGION WED INTO THU. THE 12Z GFS BRINGS A STRONG H5 VORT AROUND THE MAIN LOW TUE NGT...INTERACTING IT WITH A BIGGER LOW TO BRING PCPN INTO THE REGION TUE NGT. SINCE THE 12Z GFS IS THE OUTLIER WILL FOLLOW THE SOLUTION OF THE OTHER THREE MODELS. AS MENTIONED EARLIER...THE CONSENSUS OF THE MODELS IS TO BRING A H5 VORT DOWN ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES WED INTO THU. THE INITIAL VORT APPEARS TO PASS TO THE WEST AND SOUTH OF THE REGION WED...LEAVING WED DRY...BUT THE AS THE CAA KICKS IN WED NGT...PCPN DEVELOPS ACROSS THE AREA. THICKNESSES FROM THE 06Z GFS WED NGT BEGIN WARM ENUF FOR RAIN...BUT BECOME MARGINAL OVERNIGHT FOR SOME SNOW. ALTHOUGH I CANT RULE OUT A WET SNOW FLAKE...DECIDED TO ONLY MENTION RAIN. AS THE VORT EXITS THE SE US...THE PCPN COMES TO AN END BY THU AFTN. H5 RIDGE THEN BEGINS TO BUILD IN FOR FRI. MODELS ARE HINTING THAT CONVECTION MIGHT DEVELOP OVER THE PLAINS FRI INTO SAT AND THAT AN MCS MIGHT WORK E. NOT CONFIDENT IN THE MODELS BEING ABLE TO FCST THOSE TYPE OF FEATURES THAT FAR OUT...SO WILL LEAVE FRI AND SAT DRY DRY FOR NOW. AS FOR TEMPS...WENT SLIGHTLY LESS THAN GFSX MOS FOR HIGHS TUE. WENT CLOSE THE ENSEMBLE MEAN NUMBERS DUE TO THE NRLY FLOW. HPC MEDIUM RANGE DESK WAS LEANING TOWARDS A LITTLE WARMER ECMWF SOLUTION SO WENT A LITTLE WARMER THAN THE GFSX MOS FOR HIGHS WED AND THU. BY SAT GFSX MOS BECOMES A LITTLE WARM SO FOLLOWED HPC NUMBERS. SITES && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...NONE. KY...NONE. IN...NONE. &&
