AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
815 PM EDT SAT JUL 18 2015
.SYNOPSIS...
VERY WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH SUNDAY BEFORE
A COLD FRONT SETTLES SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE AREA AND COOLS AND
DRIES THE AIRMASS ENOUGH TO REMOVE THE DANGEROUS HEAT INDICES THAT
ARE FELT DURING THE WEEKEND. GIVEN AN EXTREMELY WARM AND UNSTABLE
AIRMASS...SHOWERS AND STORMS MAY DEVELOP AT TIMES THROUGH THE
WEEKEND WITH THE POTENTIAL TO BE STRONG TO SEVERE. THE BEST CHANCE
OF WIDESPREAD STORMS WILL BE SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...BUT
CHANCES WILL EXIST THROUGH TONIGHT AS WELL.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
STILL VERY DIFFICULT/LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST - AS MAJORITY OF
CONVECTION ALLOWING HIGH RESOLUTION GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO STRUGGLE
MIGHTILY WITH THE EXTREMELY UNSTABLE...WEAKLY SHEARED...AND WEAKLY
FORCED ENVIRONMENT OVER THE OHIO VALLEY. DESPITE RISING HEIGHTS
OVER THE OHIO VALLEY TODAY...A CLUSTER OF STORMS HAS MAINTAINED
ITSELF INTO NWRN OHIO AND IS BEING WATCHED FOR GROWTH/DEVELOPMENT
ON PROPAGATING OUTFLOWS WITH MLCAPE IN EXCESS OF 3500 J/KG
ENTRENCHED OVER THE ILN FORECAST AREA VIA DEW POINTS IN THE MID
70S AND TEMPERATURES APPROACHING/AROUND 90F. DESPITE WEAK SHEAR
/0-6KM BULK SHEAR ABOUT 20KTS AND 0-3KM SHEAR FROM 10 TO
15KTS/...THERE IS CONCERN IN THE SHORT TERM FOR STORMS TO GROW
UPSCALE ON COLD-POOL BALANCED SYSTEM WITH INSTBY /DCAPE TO 1500
J/KG/ COMPENSATING FOR LACK OF SHEAR. SHOULD THIS OCCUR IT WOULD
SEEM A EVOLVING LINE OF STORMS MAY AFFECT MUCH OF THE CWA THIS
AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING WITH A WIND DAMAGE THREAT.
ALSO A COMPLICATING FACTOR...VERY WEAK/SUBTLE MCV EMINTATING OUT
OF THE CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI VALLEY MAY SPARK N-S BAND OF LOOSELY
ORGANIZED STORMS OVER INDIANA LATER THIS AFTERNOON WHICH MAY MOVE
INTO THE AREA BEFORE DIMINISHING.
LASTLY...SOME INDICATIONS IN SOME OF THE HIGHER RES GUIDANCE OF A
LATE NIGHT MCS/BOW ECHO MOVING FROM THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
INTO THE GREAT LAKES/OHIO VALLEY LATER IN THE NIGHT.
CONFIDENCE IS EXTREMELY LOW GIVEN HRRR INABILITY TO PROPERLY
HANDLE ONGOING CONVECTION...AND VERY POOR HANDLING OF LAST NIGHT/S
WEAKLY FORCED ACTIVITY. THUS...WILL RUN WITH STORM CHANCES MOST
AREAS FROM THE LATE AFTERNOON THROUGH THE NIGHT AND UPDATE
ACCORDINGLY AS OPPORTUNITIES PRESENT TO INCREASE RAIN CHANCES.
A VERY HUMID NIGHT IS EXPECTED /ASSUMING MCS COLD POOLS REMAIN
LOCALIZED/ WITH SOME RECORD HIGH MINIMUM TEMPS POSSIBLE IN THE
METRO AREAS. EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING CONTINUES ALL NIGHT FOR URBAN
AREAS OF HAMILTON COUNTY...AND HEAT ADVISORIES ELSEWHERE WILL COME
DOWN BY SUNSET.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT/...
EXPECT ANY REMNANT MCS ACTIVITY /LOW CONFIDENCE HERE/ THAT IS
STILL AROUND ON SUNDAY MORNING TO QUICKLY SHIFT OFF AND WEAKEN
LEAVING ANOTHER VERY WARM/HUMID DAY ON TAP. DEW POINTS WILL RALLY
BACK INTO THE MID 70S AHEAD OF MODERATELY STRONG COLD FRONT
APPROACHING THE AREA FROM THE NORTHWEST BY MIDDAY. THINK TEMPS
WILL BE A TOUCH COOLER MOST AREAS...WITH UPPER 80S TO AROUND 90
EXPECTED...AND MAY BE MORE SO IF CLOUD DEBRIS FROM UPSTREAM MCS
ACTIVITY IS APPRECIABLE. THUS...DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE EXTENDING
HEAT ADVISORY BEYOND EXTREME SW OHIO...SERN INDIANA...AND NRN KY
WHERE IT IS CURRENTLY PLACED. HEAT INDICES AREA-WIDE THOUGH WILL
BE 95-100F AND HIGHEST IN THE ADVISORY AREA /LOW 100S LIKELY/.
ADVISORY MAY NEED TO BE EXPANDED NORTH/EAST A BIT IF BETTER
INSOLATION THAN WHAT IS EXPECTED DEVELOPS.
CONVECTION SHOULD INITIATE BY 18Z ACROSS NRN OH BACK INTO INDIANA
AND SINK SSE INTO THE AREA. PRETTY STRONG AGREEMENT IN THE
GUIDANCE OF A FAIRLY SOLID LINE OF STORMS AMIDST STRONG INSTBY BUT
AGAIN MODEST TO MARGINAL SHEAR. WIND DAMAGE TO BE THE MAIN THREAT
BUT 0-3KM SHEAR VECTORS...WHILE IN GOOD ORIENTATION TO THE
FORCING...ARE A LITTLE WEAK IN MAGNITUDE. HOWEVER LIKE RECENT
DAYS...EXTREME INSTBY/DCAPE MAY AUGMENT. MAY ALSO BE A FLASH FLOOD
THREAT GIVEN ORIENTATION OF LINE BUT STORMS SHOULD PROPOGATE TO
SOME DEGREE SO WILL HOLD ON A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR NOW. EXPECT
LINE TO SETTLE THROUGH AND OUT OF THE AREA LATER IN THE EVENING
WITH SKIES TURNING CLEAR/PARTLY CLOUDY IN ITS WAKE.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
COLD FRONT WILL BE NEAR OR JUST SOUTH OF THE OHIO RIVER BY MONDAY
MORNING WHERE IT WILL BECOME QUASI STATIONARY DURING THE DAY. WEAK
DISTURBANCES WITHIN THE FLOW ALOFT ALONG WITH THE BOUNDARY MEANS
THAT A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE TO BE KEPT INTO THE
FORECAST FOR THESE LOCATIONS.
FOR MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY NIGHT...HAVE USED A BLEND OF THE NAM-
WRF AND ECMWF FOR TIMING OF NEXT S/WV ENERGY IN DEVELOPING NORTHWEST
FLOW ALOFT ALONG WITH ANOTHER COLD FRONT. AS S/WV ENERGY DIGS EAST
THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES...ANOTHER FRONT WILL GRADUALLY BE PUSHED
SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE REGION. WILL PLACE A CHANCE OF SHOWERS/STORMS
FOR ALL LOCATIONS BY TUESDAY MORNING AND CONTINUE THAT THREAT
THROUGH THE DAY. AS THE FRONT DROPS SOUTH OF THE OHIO RIVER BY
WEDNESDAY MORNING...AND WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING...PCPN
THREAT WILL PUSH SOUTH AND DIMINISH OVERNIGHT.
FOR THE PERIOD WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...AS MID LEVEL RIDGE TRIES
TO REASSERT ITSELF NORTHWARD INTO THE PLAINS...WE WILL REMAIN IN A
NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO TRAVERSE
OUR REGION. AT THIS TIME...IT SHOULD REMAIN DRY...EXCEPT FOR ALONG
AND SOUTH OF THE OHIO ON WEDNESDAY...WHERE LINGERING INSTABILITY MAY
POP A DIURNAL SHOWER OR STORM.
WILL CONTINUE THE DRY WEATHER INTO SATURDAY BUT BY THAT TIME MODELS
SUGGEST THAT ANOTHER WEAK FRONT MAY ARRIVE BY THEN OR SUNDAY.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR OR SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL THROUGH THURSDAY
WITH MAINLY TYPICAL JULY READINGS BY THE END OF THE WEEK.
&&
.AVIATION /00Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THUNDERSTORMS IN VCNTY OF KILN ARE DROPPING SE AND WILL AFFECT IT
FOR THE FIRST HOUR OR TWO OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. MEANWHILE LINE
OF STORMS IN ERN INDIANA WILL WORK EWD ACROSS INTO KDAY TAFS BY
01Z. AT THIS TIME DONT THINK THEY WILL HOLD TOGETHER TO AFFECT
KCMH/KLCK.
SKIES SHOULD GO SCATTERED AFTER THE CONVECTION DIES DOWN. COULD
SEE SOME SPOTTY MVFR FOG AT THE TAFS AROUND SUNRISE SUNDAY.
SUNDAY LOOKS LIKE A REPEAT OF TODAY WITH SCATTERED AFTERNOON
CONVECTION...SO HAVE VCTS AT ALL THE TAFS.
OUTLOOK...THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.
