AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED NEAR TERM NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH 336 PM EDT SUN JUN 14 2009 .SYNOPSIS... AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE WILL TRACK THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES THIS EVENING. BEHIND THIS FEATURE...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE GREAT LAKES WILL BUILD SLIGHTLY SOUTHWARD INTO THE OHIO VALLEY ON MONDAY. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/... MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE TRACKING THROUGH THE REGION HAS RESULTED IN SCATTERED SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON. AN ASSOCIATED 500-HPA JET IS ALLOWING FOR DECENT 0-6 KM SHEAR OF 40-50 KT ACROSS THE NORTHERN 2/3 OF THE CWA...WHILE SURFACE DEWPOINTS IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S HAVE RESULTED IN 1000-2000 J/KG OF CAPE ACROSS THE FAR SOUTHWEST PORTION OF THE CWA. INSTBY TAPERS DOWN TO ABOUT 500 J/KG CLOSER TO THE I-70 CORRIDOR WHERE DEWPOINTS ARE LOWER. INSTBY AND SHEAR ARE MOST IN PHASE W/ EACH OTHER ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA...WHERE SVR TSTRM WATCH 407 HAS BEEN ISSUED UNTIL 01Z. LOW LEVEL WIND FIELD IS WEAK DUE TO SFC HIGH PRESSURE AND LOW-LEVEL RIDGING...SO TORNADO THREAT IS LOW. BUT WITH GOOD MIDLEVEL FLOW...THERE IS ADEQUATE MID-LEVEL SHEAR FOR HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS ACROSS THE WATCH AREA. SEVERE THREAT SHOULD DIE OFF LATER THIS EVENING AS DAYTIME HEATING IS LOST. WENT CLOSE TO A MAV/MET BLEND FOR TEMPS WHICH REFLECT SIMILAR READINGS TO LAST NIGHT. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... SFC RIDGING WILL BUILD IN FROM THE NORTH ON MONDAY AS MIDLEVEL SHORTWAVE DEPARTS TO THE EAST...AND UPPER RIDGING BEGINS TO BUILD IN FROM THE WEST. THIS SHOULD ALLOW SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR TO FILTER IN FROM THE NORTHEAST...AND KEEP BETTER CONVECTIVE CHANCES FOCUSED FURTHER SOUTHWEST. WARMING 850 HPA TEMPS WILL ALLOW FOR A SLIGHT WARMUP ON MONDAY. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... WEAK MID LEVEL RIDGING ACROSS THE AREA TUESDAY MORNING WILL GRADUALLY BREAK DOWN THROUGH WEDNESDAY AS SHORT WAVE ENERGY MOVES THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES. MOISTURE IS FAIRLY LIMITED TO BEGIN WITH ACROSS OUR AREA BUT IT DOES GRADUALLY INCREASE FROM THE WEST TUESDAY AFTERNOON INTO WEDNESDAY. INSTABILITY IS ALSO LIMITED TO BEGIN WITH ON TUESDAY BUT IT DOES SLOWLY INCREASE FROM THE SOUTHWEST AS WE HEAD INTO WEDNESDAY. WILL THEREFORE JUST HAVE SOME LOW POPS DEVELOPING FROM THE SOUTHWEST TUESDAY AFTERNOON INTO TUESDAY NIGHT WITH SOME HIGHER CHANCE POPS ON WEDNESDAY. TEMPS WILL BE SOMEWHAT DEPENDENT ON HOW MANY CLOUDS WE END UP WITH BUT FOR NOW WITH STICK WITH READINGS PRETTY CLOSE TO NORMAL TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. MID/UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL THEN TRY TO BUILD BACK IN ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK WEEK. THIS SHOULD KEEP BEST THREAT OF PCPN GENERALLY TO OUR NORTH SO WILL LIMIT POPS TO 20 TO 30 PERCENT AND ALLOW FOR SOME WARMER TEMPERATURES. MODELS ARE THEN IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT BRINGING TROUGH INTO THE AREA FOR THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL RESULT IN A BETTER CHANCE OF PCPN ALONG WITH SOME COOLER TEMPERATURES FOR THE WEEKEND. && .AVIATION /19Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... SCTD CONVECTION WILL DEVELOP THIS AFTN INTO THE EVENING ALONG AND SOUTH OF A DEW POINT BOUNDARY WHICH EXTENDS FROM CNTRL IND INTO S-CNTRL OH. TEMPO GROUPS THROUGH 23Z ARE ISSUED EVERYWHERE EXCEPT LCK/CMH FOR MVFR VSBYS AND CIGS WITH TSRA. CONVECTION WILL BEGIN TO DIMINISH AFTER 23Z...WITH VCSH LINGERING THROUGH 2Z AT CVG/LUK/ILN. WITH ABUNDANT SFC MOISTURE IN PLACE...TEMPO GROUPS FOR MVFR FOG ARE FCST ACROSS THE WRN TERMINALS FROM 08Z-12Z. MVFR FOG WILL PREVAIL AFTER 07Z AT LUK...WITH A TEMPO GROUP FOR IFR VSYBS DURING THE PRE-DAWN HRS. VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ON MONDAY.
