AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH 559 PM EDT MON JUN 23 2014 .SYNOPSIS... WARM AND HUMID AIR WILL CONTINUE TO PREVAIL IN THE OHIO VALLEY AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT THAT WILL CROSS THE REGION TUESDAY NIGHT. A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN THE AREA THURSDAY. THE HIGH WILL TRACK EAST ON FRIDAY AND MARK THE RETURN OF A MOIST FEED ON SOUTHERLY WINDS FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/... HAVE TRIED TO ADD SOME INCREASED CHANCES OF STORMS WHERE ONGOING THUNDERSTORMS WILL CROSS INTO AND/OR CONTINUE IN THE CWA. PREVIOUS FORECAST DISCUSSION BELOW... THUNDERSTORMS FIRING OVER THE AREA WITH DAYTIME HEATING AND 70S DEWPOINTS WILL CONTINUE THIS EVENING. WHAT STORMS ARE AROUND THIS EVENING HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT. THE MORE ORGANIZED STORMS THIS AFTERNOON APPEAR TO BE NORTH AND WEST OF CWA WITH THE SHOWERS THAT SPARKED ALONG I-71 CORRIDOR HAVING ALREADY FIZZLED OUT. THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY GOING TO BE THE CONTINUED RULE THIS EVENING AND MODELS ARE ALL OVER THE MAP THIS EVENING...LEADING TO THE INCLUSION OF STORMS EVERYWHERE FOR AT LEAST A WHILE TONIGHT. STORMS SHOULD BE ON THE DECREASE WITH THE SETTING SUN BUT THIS FORECAST HAS NOT PANNED OUT NICELY THESE PAST FEW DAYS AND I AM RELUCTANT TO RELY ON THIS TRAIN OF THOUGHT. LOWS TONIGHT WILL BOTTOM OUT NEAR 70. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL INCREASE TUESDAY AS LOW PRESSURE TRACKS NORTHEAST THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES REGION AND LAYS OUT A COLD FRONT THAT CROSSES THE OHIO VALLEY DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. MODELS REMAIN IN A SORRY STATE OF FLUX EVEN THIS FAR OUT WITH THE GFS CUTTING OFF A SURFACE LOW N OF CMH BY 12Z WED. WHILE THE PRESSURE FIELDS INDICATE THE LOW AND FRONT E OF THE I-71 CORRIDOR AT THIS TIME...INDICATIONS DO NOT SUGGEST A STRONG CUTOFF AND THE SUBSEQUENT FIELDS FROM GFS ARE DISCOUNTED STRONGLY. UPPER LEVEL S/W WILL PASS BY AT THIS 12Z WED TIME AS WELL...WITH THE DRIER/COOLER AIR ON NW WINDS AND DOWNWARD MOTION IN THE UPPER LEVELS LEADING TO AN ENDING OF THE PRECIP CHANCES OVER THE REGION IF ONLY FOR A LITTLE WHILE. TEMPS WILL BE COOLER TUES WITH LOW 80S UNDER CLOUD COVER AND SCATTERED PRECIPITATION. THESE LOW 80S WILL ALSO OCCUR IN THE POST-FRONTAL COOLER ATMOSPHERE ON WEDNESDAY. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL DROP FROM THE UPPER 60S TUES NIGHT TO LOWER AND MIDDLE 60S WED NIGHT. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... EXTENDED MODELS AGREE ON THE GENERAL FEATURES OF THE PATTERN THROUGH THE EXTENDED...BUT ARE SHOWING THEIR TYPICAL DIFFERENCES IN THE TIMING AND STRENGTH OF THE SMALLER FEATURES. ZONAL H5 FLOW OVER THE GREAT LAKES AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD WILL GIVE WAY TO A BUILDING H5 RIDGE BY THE WEEKEND. AT THE SURFACE...A STALLED BOUNDARY NEAR THE OHIO RIVER WILL LIFT N AS A WARM FRONT THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE PERIOD. THURSDAY LOOKS LIKE THE AREA MAY REMAIN DRY AS A WEAK SFC HIGH SETTLED DOWN OVER THE AREA BRINGING SOMEWHAT STABLE AIR. BY FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY THE LIFTING FRONT WILL COMBINE WITH BUILDING INSTABILITY TO GIVE A CHANCE OF CONVECTION. AFTERNOON CONVECTION WILL BE A POSSIBILITY FOR LATTER HALF OF THE FORECAST PERIOD AS BUILDING HEAT AND HUMIDITY BRINGS UNSTABLE CONDITIONS. HIGHS WILL BE IN THE LOWER TO MID 80S DURING THE WEEK. THE BUILDING UPPER RIDGE WILL BRING A LITTLE MORE HEAT TO THE REGION WITH HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S. LOWS WILL BE IN THE 60S FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE PERIOD AND AROUND 70 FOR THE REST. && .AVIATION /22Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE TAF SITES THIS AFTERNOON IN AN UNSTABLE AIRMASS. SOME OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS MAY LINGER INTO THE EVENING HOURS. THERE WILL BE A LULL OR DECREASE IN PRECIPITATION FOR PART OF THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. ADDITIONAL PRECIPITATION WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA LATE IN THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AND INTO THE MORNING DAYTIME HOURS ON TUESDAY AS AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT APPROACH THE AREA. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD DURING THE LATE MORNING AND INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS ON TUESDAY.
