NWS Wilmington, OH wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 27, 7:05 PM EST, 1 minute earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH 805 PM EDT THU JUN 27 2013 .SYNOPSIS... AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTHEAST OF THE OHIO VALLEY TONIGHT WITH AN ASSOCIATED TROUGH STRETCHING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. A LARGE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL SITUATE ITSELF OVER THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES THROUGH THE WEEKEND. OCCASIONAL CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE EXPECTED. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/... UPDATED FORECAST FOR TO ADJUST POPS AND WEATHER FOR ONGOING AND EXPECTED CONVECTION OVER THE NEXT 6 HOURS. A FEW OF THE THUNDERSTORMS MAY PRODUCE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. LITTLE CHANGE TO REMAINDER OF GRIDDED FORECAST FOR TONIGHT. PREVIOUS... SCATTERED SHOWERS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING ACROSS THE EASTERN COUNTIES. EXPECT THAT REGION TO HAVE THE BETTER COVERAGE OF ACTIVITY THROUGH THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON. THUNDERSTORMS HAD DEVELOPED OVER WISCONSIN THIS AFTERNOON AND WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE SE AFTER SUNSET. NW WINDS ALOFT MAY BRING THIS CONVECTION INTO THE SW ILN CWA DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. HAVE DECREASED POPS WITH DIURNAL CONVECTION AND INCREASED POPS SLIGHTLY AGAIN OVERNIGHT. IF THESE STORMS SURVIVE INTO SE INDIANA AND SW OHIO...HAIL WOULD BE A POSSIBILITY WITH SOME OF THESE STORMS DUE TO THE INSTABILITY AND SHEAR AVAILABLE. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S TONIGHT. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/... THE MODELS SEEM TO AGREE FAIRLY WELL FOR THE SHORT TERM FORECAST. THE LARGE SCALE UPPER TROUGH OVER SE CANADA WILL GROW AND RETROGRADE INTO THE OHIO VALLEY. AT THE SURFACE A LOW WILL ESTABLISH ITSELF OVER THE GREAT LAKES AND SEVERAL UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES WILL SWING ACROSS THE AREA. TIMING OF CONVECTION WILL BE SOMEWHAT DIFFICULT. THIS PATTERN SHOULD PROVIDE COOLER TEMPERATURES AND DIURNAL ISTABILITY. THIS COMBINED WITH ANY WEAK FORCING ACROSS THE AREA WILL PROMOTE OCCASIONAL CONVECTIVE CHANCES. FRIDAY SHOULD SEE OVERALL DIURNAL CONVECTION WITH THE BEST CHANCES IN THE NE CWA. CONVECTION WILL DECREASE FRIDAY NIGHT. THE HIGHS FRIDAY WILL BE IN THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 80S AND THE LOWS FRIDAY NIGHT WILL BE IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 60S. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL SETTLE OVER THE EASTERN UNITED STATES THROUGH AT LEAST THE MIDDLE PART OF NEXT WEEK. A CLOSED 5H LOW IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP WITHIN THE TROUGH TOWARD SUNDAY AND THEN SLOWLY RETROGRADE BACK WEST INTO THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY REGION THROUGH WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN AN UNSETTLED LONG TERM PERIOD WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS PRETTY MUCH EVERY DAY. TOUGH TO RULE OUT PCPN AT ANYTIME WITH WEAK IMPULSES ROTATING THROUGH THE TROUGH AND AROUND THE LOW...BUT THINK THERE WILL BE A MARKED DIURNAL ENHANCEMENT GIVEN THE TIME OF YEAR. WILL GO AHEAD AND GENERALLY KEEP THE HIGHEST POPS DURING THE AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING EACH DAY AND THEN TAPER THEM BACK DURING THE OVERNIGHT/MORNING HOURS. WITH THE TROUGH/UPPER LEVEL LOW OVERHEAD/NEARBY...8H TEMPS WILL REMAIN ON THE SEASONABLY COOLER SIDE. THIS SHOULD HELP KEEP HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S THROUGH THE WEEKEND...THEN POSSIBLY WARMING INTO THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S THROUGH MID WEEK AS THE AIRMASS BEGINS TO SLOWLY MODIFY. && .AVIATION /00Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... SCATTERED CONVECTION WILL OCCUR THROUGH THE EARLY PART OF THE PERIOD. EXPECT BETTER CHANCE OF ACTIVITY POTENTIALLY IMPACTING ANY TERMINALS TO BE IN CENTRAL OHIO. SO ONLY INCLUDED PRECIPITATION MENTION THERE FOR INITIAL ISSUANCE. APPEARS THAT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAY DROP SOUTHEAST INTO THE REGION OVERNIGHT. QUITE A BIT OF UNCERTAINTY WITH THIS POSSIBILITY. BUT FELT IT WARRANTED A FEW HOURS OF VCTS. OUTSIDE OF ANY CONVECTION HAVE KEPT CONDITIONS VFR THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. COULD HAVE SOME WIND GUSTS DEVELOP LATE IN THE PERIOD. OUTLOOK...THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE THROUGH TUESDAY. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...NONE. KY...NONE.
