AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH 138 PM EDT SAT JUN 28 2014 .SYNOPSIS... A WARM AND HUMID AIR MASS COMBINED WITH MID LEVEL DISTURBANCES MOVING ACROSS THE REGION WILL RESULT IN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AT TIMES THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... CONTINUE TO SEE WEAK TO MODEST DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS INTO STRONGER STORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING THUNDER OVER WESTERN INDIANA...WHICH WAS IN THE CLEAR SKIES WHEN MORNING BROKE. THE CLUSTER OF STORMS IN CENTRAL KY WILL TRACK NNE AND INTO CWA BUT THE MAJORITY OF SHOWERS WILL NOT GET ENOUGH OF A KICK TO CREATE THUNDER TODAY. BY THE TIME ENOUGH SURFACE HEATING OCCURS...THE SUN WILL BE SETTING. AT THIS TIME...ALL OF THE SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL BEGIN TO DIMINISH SIGNIFICANTLY WITH ONLY THE STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS LINGERING AS A SHOWER INTO THE EVENING HOURS BEFORE DISSIPATING ALTOGETHER. THE SHORTWAVE THAT IS SUSPECT OF PRODUCING THESE SHOWERS IS PROGGED TO LIFT NORTHEAST AND OUT OF THE REGION LATE TODAY AND SHOULD HELP TURN OFF ANY RAIN CHANCES FROM SW-NE. HIGHS CONTINUE TO BEEN MUTED IN THE SW 2/3 OF FCST AREA. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY/... EXPECT CONVECTION TO DIMINISH IN COVERAGE QUITE A BIT WITH THE LOSS OF HEATING BUT SHOULD STILL SEE SOME ACTIVITY WELL INTO THE EVENING BEFORE COMPLETELY DISSIPATING. A SHORT WAVE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES ON MONDAY PROVIDING FORCING FOR ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON SUNDAY. WHILE THERE ARE SOME TIMING DIFFERENCES IN THE VARYING MODEL SOLUTIONS...IT DOES APPEAR THAT COVERAGE WILL BE MAXIMIZED DURING PEAK HEATING WITH ENOUGH DYNAMICS TO CONTINUE ACTIVITY INTO THE NIGHT. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER SHORT WAVE TO CROSS THE REGION A BIT EARLIER ON MONDAY. IF THIS TIMING HOLDS THEN THE CHANCE OF FURTHER SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL NOT BE AS HIGH AS OVER THE WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES DURING THE NIGHT WILL BE QUITE MILD WITH PERHAPS LITTLE VARIATION BETWEEN SATURDAY NIGHT LOWS AND SUNDAY NIGHT LOWS. HIGHS WILL BE AT LEAST PARTIALLY DEPENDENT ON COVERAGE OF CLOUDS AND STORMS. APPEARS THAT THERE SHOULD BE A SLIGHT WARMING TREND DURING THIS TIME PERIOD. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION ON TUESDAY WHICH WILL ONCE AGAIN ENHANCE THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. IT APPEARS THAT THIS BOUNDARY WILL SLOW DOWN CONSIDERABLY AND PERHAPS EVEN BRIEFLY STALL NEAR OR JUST EAST OF THE AREA BEFORE MOVING OFF ON THURSDAY. WITH THE BOUNDARY IN PROXIMITY CANNOT COMPLETELY RULE OUT SOME ACTIVITY ON WEDNESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WITH A COOLER AND DRIER AIR MASS. && .AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... SCATTERED SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL AFFECT KCVG AND KLUK WITH SOME THUNDERSTORMS BECOMING A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS BUT NOT NECESSARILY AFFECTING THE TAF SITES. SHOWERS HITTING KDAY AND KILN WILL OCCUR EARLY AND LIKELY NOT REACH ANY STRENGTH TO SEE THUNDERSTORMS TODAY. AT KCMH/KLCK THERE COULD STILL BE A STORM POP AS TEMPERATURES THERE HAVE BUMPED TOWARDS 90 DEGREES AND CONVECTION COULD STILL INITIATE WHERE SUNSHINE IS STILL ABUNDANT. HIGHER CLOUDS AT 12-15KFT WILL PREVAIL TONIGHT AND INTO TOMORROW. LOWER STRATOCU AND CU WILL DISSIPATE OVERNIGHT IN MOST SPOTS AND IF SKIES CLEAR OUT A LITTLE IN THE 12-15KFT RANGE...FOG MAY DEVELOP IN THE PREDAWN HOURS. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY INITIATE TOMORROW IN THE LATE MORNING AND MOVE INTO OHIO FROM INDIANA AND AFFECT WESTERN TAF SITES LATE IN THE PERIOD. OUTLOOK...SHOWERS MAY BRING MVFR CIGS MONDAY AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE TUESDAY. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...NONE. KY...NONE. IN...NONE. && SYNOPSIS...
