AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
404 PM EDT SUN JUN 5 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL MOVE SOUTH OF THE REGION TONIGHT.
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD IN FROM THE NORTH FOR MONDAY.
ANOTHER WEATHER DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE SOUTH INTO THE REGION ON
TUESDAY MORNING.

&&

.NEAR TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT/...
THE MAIN QUESTION FOR TONIGHT IS THE POSSIBILITY OF CONVECTIVE
DEVELOPMENT IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE FORECAST AREA. RECENT
MODEL RUNS HAVE BEEN SOMEWHAT CONSISTENT WITH THE EXPECTATION OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING IN SOUTHERN OHIO AND
NORTHEAST KENTUCKY BEFORE 00Z. IN A NEBULOUS PRESSURE PATTERN WITH
LITTLE IN THE WAY OF FORCING...ANY ACTIVITY THAT DEVELOPS WILL BE
DISORGANIZED AND SLOW MOVING. THE LACK OF A LEGITIMATE TRIGGER
BRINGS THIS SCENARIO UNDER FURTHER SCRUTINY...WITH COVERAGE OF
ANYTHING BEYOND SCATTERED LIGHT SHOWERS AN UNCERTAINTY. WILL STICK
WITH JUST CHANCE POPS AT THIS TIME...FOCUSED IN THE SOUTH AND
SOUTHEAST...WITH SOME SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FURTHER NORTH TO COVER
THE LIGHT SHOWERS / SPRINKLES CURRENTLY BEING PICKED UP ON RADAR.

AS A BROAD AND WEAK AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE MOVES IN FROM THE NORTH
OVERNIGHT...AND BLOWOFF CIRRUS FROM THE INDIANA MCS DISSIPATES OR
MOVES AWAY...SKIES SHOULD TURN TO MOSTLY CLEAR OVERNIGHT. WILL
FORECAST LOW TEMPERATURES ABOUT 5 DEGREES BELOW THE READINGS FROM
LAST NIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT/...
THE SHORT TERM SHOULD BEGIN DRY...AS HIGH PRESSURE AND SLIGHTLY
DRIER CONDITIONS WILL EXIST OVER THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY ON MONDAY
MORNING. 18Z MODEL RUNS HAVE BROUGHT IN A LITTLE BIT OF
ADDITIONAL MOISTURE DURING THE AFTERNOON ON MONDAY...ASSOCIATED
WITH ACTIVITY ORIGINATING OVER NORTHERN ILLINOIS ON MONDAY
MORNING. THESE TRENDS WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED...AS IT MAY
REQUIRE THE ADDITION OF PRECIPITATION TO THE FORECAST AT SOME
POINT.

A SHORTWAVE WILL RIDE SOUTHEAST DOWN THE RIDGE ON MONDAY
NIGHT...PUSHING INTO THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES. HAVE HELD OFF ON
POPS FOR THE ILN CWA UNTIL TUESDAY MORNING...WITH A REASONABLE
MODEL CONSENSUS THAT THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD WILL REMAIN DRY.

AS SOUTHERLY FLOW BEGINS ON MONDAY...A GRADUAL INCREASE IN
TEMPERATURES AND MOISTURE WILL ALSO BEGIN. WILL KEEP HIGHS ON
MONDAY ABOUT THE SAME AS TODAY...GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY INVOLVING
THE MOISTURE MOVING IN FROM THE WEST. MIN TEMPS ON MONDAY NIGHT
ARE A BIT WARMER THAN SUNDAY NIGHT...CLOSER TO MET GUIDANCE.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
MODELS CONTINUE TO HINT AT A POSSIBLE MCS DIVING SE AND CLIPPING OUR
NERN CFWA TUESDAY MORNING. HAVE CONTINUED TO MENTION A CHANCE OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. HARD TO SAY IF ANY ADDITIONAL
SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM WILL POP UP IN THIS AREA DURING THE AFTN HOURS
AS AREA MAY BE WORKED OVER IF MCS MATERIALIZES. OTHERWISE...MAX
TEMPS ON TUESDAY WILL BE CLOUD DEPENDENT. HAVE GONE WITH HIGHS
RANGING FROM THE UPPER 80S NE TO THE LOWER 90S SOUTHWEST.

HAVE USED A BLEND OF HPC AND 12Z GFS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE LONG
TERM FORECAST.

SKIES SHOULD CLEAR TUESDAY NIGHT AS UPR LVL RIDGE BUILDS INTO THE
MIDDLE OHIO VALLEY. ON WEDNESDAY...UPR LVL RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO
SLOWLY SHIFT SE. WITH MOST MODELS AGREEING ON 850 MB TEMPS IN THE
+20 TO +21 DEGREE C RANGE...WEDNESDAY APPEARS AS IT WILL BE THE
HOTTEST DAY FOR THE ENTIRE AREA FOR THIS UPCOMING WEEK. WILL
FORECAST HIGHS IN THE MID 90S. BELIEVE MOS GUIDANCE DEWPOINTS ARE ON
THE LOW SIDE...AND GIVEN LIGHT SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW...THINK DEWPOINTS
WILL RISE INTO THE UPPER 60S TO NEAR 70. THESE VALUES COMBINED WITH
HIGHS IN THE MID 90S WILL PUSH HEAT INDICES TO AROUND 100
DEGREES...WHICH IS RIGHT AT HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA. WILL MAKE
MENTION OF THIS IN THE HWO PRODUCT. WITHOUT ANY DISCERNIBLE STRONG
FORCING...AND THE LIKELIHOOD OF A CAP...MOST OF THE AREA SHOULD
REMAIN DRY ON WEDNESDAY. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE THE NW PART OF OUR
CWFA WHERE IT MAY BECOME UNCAPPED IN THE AFTN...ALLOWING FOR A POP
UP SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM.

FOR THE PERIOD WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...UPR LVL RIDGE WILL
SLOWLY BECOME SUPPRESSED TOWARD THE SE UNITED STATES. THIS WILL
ALLOW THE REGION TO BECOME LOCATED ON THE NRN PERIPHERY OF THE HIGH
AND THUS MORE IN A BELT OF WESTERLIES IN THE MID LVLS. THE RESULT
WILL PUSH A FRONT INTO THE REGION THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY
NIGHT...WHICH WILL THEN STALL OUT ACRS THE REGION ON FRIDAY. THIS
FRONT WILL BECOME THE FOCUS FOR THE NEXT ROUND OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS.

FOR THE UPCOMING WEEKEND...FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN DRAPED ACRS
THE REGION ON SATURDAY...AND MAY SHOW A SLOW PUSH TO THE NE ON
SUNDAY AS UPR LVL FLOW TRIES TO AMPLIFY SOMEWHAT. WITH THE FRONT IN
THE VICINITY...CAN NOT RULE OUT A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS.

AS FOR TEMPERATURES...THEY WILL SHOW A SLOW DOWNWARD TREND THROUGH
THE PERIOD BUT WILL STILL REFLECT MORE MID SUMMER LIKE READINGS.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
VERY WEAKLY DEFINED FRONT IN SOUTHERN PART OF FORECAST AREA.
ANY THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THAT OCCURS WILL BE ALONG OR SOUTH OF
THIS FRONT AND DO NOT EXPECT TO SEE CONVECTION UNTIL 19Z TO 20Z.
EARLY THIS AFTERNOON THERE WAS LITTLE EVIDENCE OF CU DEVELOPMENT.
HIGH CIRRUS AND MID LEVEL CLOUDS CONTINUED TO STREAM INTO REGION
FROM CONVECTION TO THE WEST AND THICKEN. AN AREA OF LIGHT
RAIN/SHOWERS HAS MADE HEADWAY TO THE EAST THIS AFTERNOON AND MOVED
INTO THE EXTREME WESTERN PART OF ILN/S FORECAST AREA. INCLUDED
VCSH TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS AT DAY AND USED CB IN SOUTHERN TAF SITES
FOR POTENTIAL THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY BETWEEN 19Z-23Z. SKIES WILL
BEGIN TO CLEAR OUT BY 07Z-09Z. AS SKIES BEGIN TO CLEAR AND WINDS
BEGIN TO DISSIPATE TONIGHT SOME FOG/MIST WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN TAF SITES WHERE MORE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL BE PRESENT.
VFR VSBYS AT ALL TAF SITES BY 13Z AND SCATTERED CU TO DEVELOP MON
AFTER 15Z.

OUTLOOK...TSTMS POSSIBLE MONDAY NIGHT AND ON THURSDAY.
