NWS Wilmington, OH wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 10, 3:54 PM EST, 2 hours 1 minute earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH 454 PM EDT TUE JUN 10 2014 .SYNOPSIS... A MID LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WILL GRADUALLY WEAKEN AS IT MOVES EASTWARD OVER THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS. UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY AS THIS FEATURE INTERACTS WITH A MOIST AIR MASS OVER THE REGION. A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION ON FRIDAY...WITH DRIER CONDITIONS SETTLING IN BEHIND IT FOR THE START OF THE WEEKEND. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/... LATE AFTERNOON SURFACE OBSERVATIONS SHOW A WARM FRONT DRAPED ALMOST RIGHT ALONG THE OHIO RIVER BETWEEN OHIO AND KENTUCKY...STRETCHING WESTWARD INTO SOUTHERN INDIANA. MEANWHILE A VERTICALLY STACKED LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM REMAINS CENTERED OVER MISSOURI. AS THIS SYSTEM SLOWLY DRIFTS NORTHEASTWARD TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES TONIGHT...OUR CWA WILL REMAIN IN THE WARM SECTOR WITH PLENTIFUL MOISTURE TRANSPORT WORKING INTO THE AREA STARTING THIS EVENING AND CONTINUING INTO THE OVERNIGHT. LOW CLOUDS HAVE BEEN LIMITING DAYTIME HEATING AND DESTABILIZATION ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE ILN CWA (WHERE TEMPS HAVE BEEN IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S)...BUT LATEST LAPS ANALYSIS SHOWS AN INCREASE IN SBCAPE ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN COUNTIES OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS WHERE THERE HAVE BEEN FEWER CLOUDS (AND TEMPS HAVE RISEN INTO THE LOW TO MID 80S). LATEST HI-RES MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SHOW STORMS DEVELOPING ALONG THE WARM FRONT THIS EVENING...AFFECTING MAINLY OUR SOUTHERN COUNTIES. 0-6 KM BULK SHEAR MAGNITUDE AROUND 40 KTS MAY SUPPORT A FEW ORGANIZED ROTATING STORMS...AND 0-1 KM BULK SHEAR WILL INCREASE TO AROUND 20-30 KTS IN OUR SOUTH. COMBINED WITH FAIRLY LOW LCL HEIGHTS AND THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN OUR AREA...THIS MAY RESULT IN AN ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT BUT MEAGER INSTABILITY WILL BE A LIMITING FACTOR. A FEW STORMS THIS EVENING MAY ALSO PRODUCE SOME GUSTY WINDS. THE GENERAL TIME FRAME FOR ANY STRONG STORMS APPEARS TO BE BETWEEN 7-10 PM...BUT A STRENGTHENING LLJ WILL ALLOW FOR CONTINUED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS OUR AREA OVERNIGHT. HEAVY RAIN AND LOCALIZED FLOODING WILL BE A POSSIBILITY AS PW/S WILL BE AROUND 150-170 PERCENT OF NORMAL AND MOISTURE TRANSPORT WILL BE FAIRLY STRONG OVER THE ILN AREA. THE MAIN AREA OF SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL EVENTUALLY LIFT NORTH OF THE AREA BY LATE TONIGHT. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... CLOSED MID LEVEL LOW WILL BECOME ABSORBED INTO A SHORTWAVE ON WEDNESDAY AS IT LIFTS NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE GREAT LAKES. THE MAIN H5 TROUGH WILL THEN MOVE ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. WITH PLENTY OF MOISTURE STILL OVER THE AREA...FAVORABLE INSTABILITY ONCE THE BOUNDARY LAYER DESTABILIZES...AND SOME UPPER LEVEL FORCING AS THE TROUGH MOVES THROUGH...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE DAY. CANNOT RULE OUT A FEW STRONG STORMS IN THE AFTERNOON WITH TEMPS CLIMBING INTO THE MID 70S TO NEAR 80. CURRENT THINKING (IN LINE WITH THE SPC DAY 2 OUTLOOK) IS THAT THE GREATEST THREAT WOULD BE ACROSS OUR EAST WHERE INSTABILITY AND SHEAR ARE EXPECTED TO BE A BIT STRONGER. AS THE MID-LEVEL TROUGH GRADUALLY SHIFTS EASTWARD...CONVECTIVE CHANCES WILL ALSO START TO DECREASE FROM WEST TO EAST GOING INTO THURSDAY. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... SURFACE LOW MOVING NE AND AWAY FROM FORECAST AREA THURSDAY WILL KEEP OHIO VALLEY IN SOUTHERLY FLOW AND IN A CONTINUED THREAT FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. UPPER LEVEL L/W WILL CROSS OHIO VALLEY TO THE EAST DURING THE MORNING HOURS AND PRIMARILY LIMIT THE SHOWERS AND POTENTIAL THUNDERSTORMS TO THE EASTERN CWA. A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION EARLY FRIDAY AND MARK THE END OF THE SHOWER THREAT...STARTING THURSDAY OVERNIGHT IN THE NORTHWEST. FRIDAY WILL SEE A DRYING TREND WITH THE COOLEST TEMPERATURES OF THE FORECAST...IN THE 70S FOR HIGHS. OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE 50S WILL ALSO MARK THE MINIMUM DURING THE FORECAST...WITH SOME LOWER 60S POSSIBLE SOUTH OF THE OHIO RIVER. THESE OVERNIGHT TEMPS WILL OCCUR WITH A CLEARING SKY AND LIGHT WINDS AS A SURFACE HIGH SETTLES OVER THE REGION. THE HIGH WILL SLIDE EAST ON SATURDAY AND MARK A GRADUAL TURNING OF WINDS TO THE SOUTH AND A GRADUAL INCREASE IN BOTH DAYTIME HIGHS AND NIGHTTIME LOWS. HIGHS ON SATURDAY WILL START TO CREEP BACK INTO THE UPPER 70S AND LOWER 80S...TO REACH THE MID AND UPPER 80S BY THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. LOWS WILL JUMP BACK INTO THE MID 60S SUNDAY NIGHT AND BUILD A DEGREE OR TWO ON EACH SUCCESSIVE NIGHT WITH AN INCREASINGLY MOIST AIRMASS. THE THREAT FOR SHOWERS WILL BE SLIGHT ON SUNDAY AND INCREASE TO THE CHANCE CATEGORY MONDAY ONWARDS. THE FOCUS WILL BE ON NORTHWEST CWA MAXIMIZING ON TUESDAY WITH A FRONTAL PASSAGE SHEARING OUT AND BECOMING STATIONARY OVER NORTHERN OHIO. && .AVIATION /20Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... LOW CLOUDS ACROSS THE REGION NORTH OF A NEARLY STATIONARY BOUNDARY NEAR THE OHIO RIVER SHOULD THIN AND LIFT TO VFR OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. FEW STORMS COULD DEVELOP AFTER 21Z BUT AT THIS TIME EXPECT LOW COVERAGE. BETTER COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL COME AFTER 00Z AS AN UPPER DISTURBANCE MOVES NORTHEAST TOWARDS THE AREA WHICH WILL ALSO HELP PUSH THE BOUNDARY NORTH ACROSS THE REGION OVERNIGHT. HAVE ALLOWED FOR SEVERAL HOURS WITH PRECIPITATION AND AT LEAST OCCASIONAL LOWER VISIBILITIES/CEILINGS. MOISTENING LOW LEVELS WILL LEAD TO PREVAILING MVFR CEILINGS WHICH WILL LIKELY DROP TO IFR CLOSE TO 12Z AT MOST SITES. EXPECT LOWER CLOUDS TO LIFT LATE IN THE TAF PERIOD. THERE COULD BE ADDITIONAL SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT AT THAT POINT AS WELL. BUT PROBABILITY WAS TOO LOW TO INCLUDE IN FORECAST THAT FAR OUT IN TIME. OUTLOOK...THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING AND THEN AGAIN ON FRIDAY. MVFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES POSSIBLE LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY MORNING. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...NONE. KY...NONE.
