AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
739 PM EDT MON JUL 7 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY DROPPING SOUTHEAST FROM THE GREAT LAKES WILL
BRING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT. ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS IS FORECAST FOR TUESDAY WHEN A POTENT SHORT WAVE
WILL INTERACT WITH A VERY MOIST AIRMASS ALONG THE SLOW MOVING
BOUNDARY. DRIER WEATHER IS ANTICIPATED BY THURSDAY AS HIGH
PRESSURE MAKES ITS WAY ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY ON A NORTHWEST UPPER
FLOW.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
FRONT IS ENTERING NORTHWEST OHIO. DEW POINTS AHEAD OF THE FRONT
ARE INCREASING INTO THE LOW 70S...ALLOWING AMPLE INSTABILITY
DURING DAYTIME HEATING. LIFT INDUCED BY FRONTAL CONVERGENCE IN THE
UNSTABLE AIRMASS IS RESULTING IN THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT AHEAD OF
THE FRONT AS SUGGESTED BY MODELS OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS.

WITH THUNDERSTORMS BECOMING WIDESPREAD...HAVE OPTED TO GO WITH
CATEGORICAL POPS ROUGHLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF I-71. LOCATIONS
OUTSIDE OF THIS BAND MAY STILL SEE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM
FORMATION. THE BAND OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL SAG GRADUALLY SOUTHEAST
THIS EVENING...WHILE THUNDERSTORMS EVENTUALLY DIMINISH IN COVERAGE
AFTER LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. THERE MAY BE A FEW SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS IN AN ENVIRONMENT CONTAINING RATHER STRONG WINDS
ALOFT...AND DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS ARE THE MAIN THREAT.
ELEVATED DEW POINTS WILL KEEP OVERNIGHT LOWS UP AROUND 70.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
A POTENT WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE FORMING ALONG THE TAIL OF THE FRONT
WILL TRAVEL TO OHIO EARLY TUESDAY. THIS WAVE WILL CARRY A LARGE
SWATH OF MOISTURE AND LIFT INTO AN ALREADY VERY MOIST AND
UNSETTLED WEATHER REGIME. CATEGORICAL POPS ARE WARRANTED FOR THIS
SCENARIO WHICH HAS BEEN DEPICTED BY MODELS IN SIMILAR FASHION FOR
SEVERAL DAYS. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL AGAIN BE POSSIBLE...AIDED
BY STRONGER WIND FIELDS FEATURING A 45 KNOT 850 MB JET. HIGH
TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW TO MID 80S WILL BE LIMITED BY CLOUDS AND PRECIP.

A DIMINISHING TREND TO THE CONVECTION COULD OCCUR FROM TUESDAY
AFTERNOON TO TUESDAY NIGHT AS THE FRONT...WAVE OF LOW
PRESSURE...AND ASSOCIATED FORCING MOVE EAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
NUMERICAL MODELS GENERALLY SIMILAR WITH LONG WAVE TROF SETTLING
INTO THE GREAT LAKES/OH VALLEY AT MID WEEK.

INITIAL SFC COLD FRONT TO PUSH SOUTH OF THE OHIO RIVER EARLY
WEDNESDAY WITH SECONDARY FRONT DROPPING SOUTH INTO ILN/S FA IN THE
AFTN. WILL CONTINUE HIGH CHANCE POPS MAINLY EARLY SOUTH AND ONLY A
SLIGHT CHC OF A SHOWER IN AFTN WITH SECONDARY FRONT NORTH. IN POST
FRONTAL ENVIRONMENT EXPECT SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES
WEDNESDAY.

MID/UPR LEVEL FLOW TO BECOME NORTHWESTERLY WITH SFC HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDING INTO THE REGION ON THURSDAY. THERE IS SOME SLIGHT
INDICATION THAT UNDER INFLUENCE OF MEAN TROF AND EMBEDDED WEAK
S/W...THERE COULD BE A FEW ISOLD POST FRONTAL SHOWERS THURSDAY
AFTN...MAINLY ACRS THE NORTH AND EAST...BUT HAVE KEPT FCST DRY AT
THIS TIME DUE TO LOW PROBABILITY AND OVERALL DRIER MODEL SOLN
TRENDS. SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES TO CONTINUE THURSDAY.

THE HIGH IS EXPECTED TO MOVE EAST OF THE AREA BY FRIDAY WHILE MID
LEVEL FLOW BECOMES MORE WESTERLY AS MINOR MID LEVEL RIDGING BUILDS
IN. THIS WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO WARM TO NEAR NORMAL FRIDAY AND
AND SATURDAY.

MOISTURE WILL INCREASE WITH A RETURN SOUTHERLY FLOW WITH THE ECMWF
SOLN DEVELOPING NEXT CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION SAT AFTN DUE TO AN
EMBEDDED DISTURBANCE. GFS SOLN IS ABOUT A DAY SLOWER WITH PCPN
ARRIVING SUNDAY AFTN. WILL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW FASTER MORE CONSISTENT
ECMWF.  BEST CHANCE LOOKS TO BE ACROSS WEST CENTRAL OHIO. WILL
SPREAD CHANCE POPS ACRS ENTIRE FA SAT NIGHT AND SUNDAY WITH WARM
FRONT PIVOTING THRU FA. ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT TO DROP IN FROM NW
RESULTING IN CONTINUED CHANCE NEXT MONDAY. EXPECT TEMPERATURES AT OR
SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL SUNDAY AND THEN A LTL BELOW NORMAL NEXT MONDAY
WITH PCPN AND FROPA.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TAF SITES
THIS EVENING SHOULD WANE IN COVERAGE OVER THE NEXT 3 HOURS WITH
THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. COULD SEE SOME GUSTY WINDS AND BRIEF
MVFR CEILINGS/IFR VSBYS IN LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN. THEREAFTER...ACTIVITY
WILL BE SOMEWHAT SPARSE AND HAVE ONLY INCLUDE A VCSH FOR MOST OF
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

ATTENTION WILL TURN TO ANOTHER COMPLEX OF STORMS THAT IS FORECAST
TO MOVE INTO THE AREA EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING FROM THE WEST.
ALTHOUGH THESE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO BE WEAKENING AS THEY
APPROACH...THEY WILL LIKELY AFFECT THE TAF SITES. HAVE GONE WITH
MVFR CONDITIONS IN SHOWERS WITH VCTS/CB USED UNTIL TIMING OF
THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE BETTER PINPOINTED.

WINDS WILL AGAIN BECOME GUSTY LATE ON WEDNESDAY MORNING AND INTO
THE AFTERNOON HOURS AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT AND IN THE
WAKE OF THE COMPLEX. BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON...THE COLD FRONT
WILL BE PUSHING SOUTHEAST INTO THE AREA. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
ARE AGAIN FORECAST TO DEVELOP OUT AHEAD OF THE FRONT IN THE BEST
AXIS OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AND UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT.
VCTS/CB HAVE BEEN PLACED IN THE TAFS FOR NOW UNTIL TIMING CAN BE
HONED IN WITH LATER FORECASTS.

Event by event

2 flood, 1 tornado, 1 thunderstorm wind. Local standard time, as filed.

Tornado, Gallatin

When: July 7, 6:40 PM EST to 6:42 PM EST
Where: Gallatin County, 0.18 mi WNW of Ethridge to 0.28 mi S of Ethridge
Rating: EF0
Path length: 0.47 mi
Path width: 200 yd
Property damage: $150,000
Reported by: NWS Storm Survey
Coordinates: 38.771, -84.933

A tornado touched down on Craigs Creek Lake where substantial damage occurred to a large dock near the marina entrance along US Route 42. A section of roofing and the associated supporting structure measuring approximately 75 by 75 feet was destroyed and deposited immediately to the southwest of the original location. The entire dock measured approximately 100 by 225 feet and was attached to a number of metal poles anchored into the lake bottom. These poles were approximately 6 inches in diameter and were all bent at least several degrees toward the southwest, indicating the entire structure was moved in that direction. This movement was perpendicular to the apparent storm motion at that time as ascertained from radar.

Tree damage was also observed on an island approximately 150 yards east of this dock. Several 4 to 8 inch diameter trees had fallen toward the northwest. Additional trees of similar size were also noted to be downed along the western shore of the lake near Knox Lillard Road, approximately a half mile southeast of the intersection with US Route 42. Roof covering and several concrete cinder blocks securing a patio roof were lifted from a structure along the shoreline. This material was deposited 50 to 100 feet south of the original location.

The tornado ended just before Hillandale Drive where some minor tree damage occurred along the shoreline.

Thunderstorm Wind, Gallatin

When: July 7, 6:45 PM EST to 6:47 PM EST
Where: Gallatin County, 1.16 mi NE of Ethridge to 0.32 mi NW of Warsaw
Measured: 70 kt (81 mph) estimated gust
Property damage: $20,000
Reported by: NWS Storm Survey
Coordinates: 38.780, -84.913

Thunderstorm winds uprooted several trees and caused some minor roof and siding damage to structures along a west to east swath through Warsaw. Damage also occurred to the roof, fencing and bleachers at Gallatin High School.

Flood, Grant

When: July 7, 7:30 PM EST to 8:30 PM EST
Where: Grant County, 1.25 mi WNW of Dry Ridge
Cause: Heavy Rain
Reported by: Public
Coordinates: 38.686, -84.602

Heavy rain caused standing water on northbound Interstate 75 just north of the Dry Ridge exit.

Flood, Gallatin

When: July 7, 8:00 PM EST to 9:00 PM EST
Where: Gallatin County, 2.63 mi SE of Ethridge to 1.42 mi S of Ethridge
Cause: Heavy Rain
Reported by: Law Enforcement
Coordinates: 38.740, -84.900

High water was reported on numerous roads across the county due to heavy rain.

What these are

Tornado: A violently rotating column of air in contact with the ground and extending from a thunderstorm, filed with its path, width and Fujita or Enhanced Fujita rating from the damage survey.
Thunderstorm Wind: Winds from a thunderstorm of 50 knots (58 mph) or more, or lower winds that caused damage or casualties. Measured gusts are marked MG, estimated EG.
Flood: Flooding that develops more slowly than a flash flood: rivers leaving their banks, or water standing over land for an extended time.

After NWS Directive 10-1605, the rules offices file Storm Data by.
