Area forecast discussion, Jun 15, 3:08 PM EST, 3 hours 51 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
408 PM EDT TUE JUN 15 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY MOVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY
THROUGH WEDNESDAY. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP AND MOVE
EAST THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL PUSH IN BY
WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK...PROVIDING DRY CONDITIONS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY OVERNIGHT/...
ROUGHLY STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS CURRENTLY LOCATED ACROSS
THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA...AND THE ATMOSPHERE
HAS BEEN DESTABILIZING WELL TO ITS SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST. WITH THAT
SAID...A LACK OF FORCING FOR THE TIME BEING WILL KEEP SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS LIMITED TO A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS.
ACTUALLY THE HOLES IN THE CU FIELD WOULD INDICATE SOME SUBSIDENCE
IN THE ATMOSPHERE AT THIS TIME.

MAIN ATTENTION WILL SHIFT TOWARD THE NUMEROUS CLUSTERS OF SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING ACROSS ILLINOIS...AND ON A TRAJECTORY
RIGHT TOWARD SOUTHWESTERN OHIO. INSTABILITY WILL BE AMPLE THROUGH
THE EVENING HOURS AND SHEAR WILL BE RESPECTABLE ENOUGH TO HELP
DEVELOP AN MCS OUT OF THIS SYSTEM. OVERALL THE SETUP IS A BIT
SIMILAR TO LAST NIGHT...AND ANOTHER ROUND OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
REMAINS POSSIBLE THIS EVENING AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS...WITH WIND BEING THE PRIMARY THREAT.

TIMING THE MAIN CONVECTION IS A LITTLE BIT PROBLEMATIC...AS IT
LOOKS LIKE THE MAIN AREA OF STORMS WILL NOT ARRIVE TO THE
SOUTHEASTERN INDIANA COUNTIES UNTIL AFTER SUNSET. AN OVERNIGHT
WEAKENING TREND WILL PROBABLY BE SEEN...SO THE BETTER CHANCE FOR
WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WINDS WILL CERTAINLY BE ACROSS THE WESTERN
PART OF THE FORECAST AREA.

ALL THE RAINFALL OVER THE PAST WEEK OR SO HAS GIVEN VERY LITTLE
MARGIN-OF-ERROR FOR PRECIPITATION BEFORE RUNOFF AND FLOODING CAN
BEGIN. WILL CONTINUE THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH. EVEN THOUGH STORMS
SHOULD BE OF A RELATIVELY PROGRESSIVE NATURE...PWAT VALUES 1.5
INCHES OR HIGHER WILL BE SUPPORTIVE OF HIGH RAINFALL RATES...AND
ANY TRAINING 50DBZ+ ECHOES WILL LIKELY PRODUCE FLASH FLOODING.

WENT A COUPLE DEGREES ABOVE FORECAST LOWS LAST NIGHT...CLOSE TO
GUIDANCE NUMBERS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
HAVE LEFT SOME LINGERING POPS IN THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY WEDNESDAY
AS THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WORKS ITS WAY THROUGH. BY ALL MEANS
THOUGH...CONDITIONS WILL BEGIN DRYING OUT AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
IN FROM THE NORTH. SHOULD CERTAINLY STILL BE WARM BUT WENT MORE
MID-80S RATHER THAN UPPER-80S AS GUIDANCE IS GIVING...AS COOLER
850 TEMPS ADVECT IN. CLEARING SKIES AND LOWER TDS SHOULD MEAN LOWS
DROP A BIT WEDNESDAY NIGHT...AND LOWER TO MID 60S LOOK GOOD.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE IN CONTROL FOR FRIDAY.  THE GFS AND ECMWF
CONTINUE TO DIVERGE FOR SATURDAY INTO SATURDAY NIGHT WITH COLD
FRONT.  THE ECMWF IS FASTER WITH THIS FEATURE.  WENT CLOSER TO THE
ECMWF SOLUTION AS IT HAS BEEN MORE CONSISTENT WITH THIS FEATURE AND
HAS FRONT MOVING THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING.  SUNDAY AFTERNOON MAY
HAVE A POP UP THUNDERSTORM OR TWO HOWEVER BELIEVE THAT CHANCE IS TOO
LOW AT THIS TIME TO MENTION IN THE FORECAST.  HIGH PRESSURE WILL
KEEP DRY CONDITIONS FOR MONDAY.  ANOTHER SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO MOVE
TOWARDS THE FA FOR TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY.  MODELS ARE SOMEWHAT
CONSISTENT WITH THIS AND THEREFORE HAVE INTRODUCED PCPN CHANCES FOR
THIS TIME FRAME.  WENT CLOSE TO HPC GUIDANCE FOR TEMPERATURES IN THE
EXTENDED WITH ONLY MINOR DIFFERENCES.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
STATIONARY BOUNDARY LOCATED ACROSS NORTHERN INDIANA AND NORTHERN
OHIO WILL LIFT SLOWLY NORTHEAST THROUGH THIS EVENING AS SFC LOW
PRESSURE AND A TROF AXIS APPROACH FROM THE WEST. AIRMASS WILL
CONTINUE TO DESTABILIZE THIS AFTN WITH THE BEST CHANCE OF SCATTERED
CONVECTION EXPECTED NEAR KCMH/KLCK AND HAVE INDICATED THIS WITH A
CB CLOUD DESCRIPTOR. OTHERWISE...AFOREMENTIONED SFC LOW/TROF AXIS
WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH AN UPR LVL WX DISTURBANCE. THESE FEATURES
SHOULD RESULT IN A THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX WHICH IS FORECAST TO
TRAVEL FROM ERN MISSOURI/WESTERN ILLINOIS...THEN ACRS INDIANA AND
OHIO. IT IS STILL TOO EARLY AT THIS TIME TO PINPOINT THUNDERSTORM
EXACT TIMING AND DURATION...SO HAVE PLACED VCTS IN THE TAFS WHEN
THE BEST CHANCE OF THUNDER MAY OCCUR. RIGHT NOW...EXPECT
BEST THUNDERSTORM THREAT TO OCCUR BETWEEN 03Z AND 09Z.
THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY HAVE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND MAY
RESULT IN BRIEF MVFR CIGS AND MVFR/IFR VSBYS. AGAIN...THIS WILL
HAVE TO BE FINE TUNED AS WE HEAD INTO THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT
HOURS. PCPN CHANCES ARE EXPECTED TO DWINDLE BY 12Z. A COLD FRONT
IS THEN FORECAST TO PUSH SE ACRS THE REGION BETWEEN 12Z AND 18Z.
IT APPEARS THAT ANY CONVECTION THAT DEVELOPS WITH THIS FRONT WILL
LIKELY OCCUR SE OF THE TAF SITES SO HAVE KEPT THE FORECAST DRY AND
WITHOUT MENTION OF THUNDER AFTER 12Z WEDNESDAY.

.OUTLOOK...THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE SATURDAY.
