AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH 755 PM EDT SUN JUN 7 2015 .SYNOPSIS... A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE OHIO VALLEY FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST TONIGHT AND MONDAY. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE WILL BUILD IN BEHIND IT ON TUESDAY. THE NEXT WEAK COLD FRONT WILL DRAPE ITSELF OVER THE REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/... CONVECTION FIRING EAST OF LEXINGTON WILL REMAIN OUT OF NORTHERN KENTUCKY THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING AS THE THIN UPPER CLOUDS ARE HAMPERING DEEPER CONVECTION OVER CWA AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO. SHOWERS HITTING NORTHWEST CWA WILL CONTINUE TO DISSIPATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING IN FAVOR OF THE MORE ORGANIZED CONVECTION THAT IS CURRENTLY IN NORTHERN INDIANA. EXPECT A ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS TO AFFECT REGIONS ALONG AND NORTH OF I-70 THIS EVENING WITH EXCEPTION OF CENTRAL OHIO...THEN FILL IN FROM KENTON AND BELLEFONTAINE...TO DAYTON AND RICHMOND OVERNIGHT...WITH THE BEST CHANCES OF STORMS BEING FOUND NORTHWEST OF I-71 THROUGH DAYBREAK. WSW-ENE FLOW WILL BE PREVALENT AT THE SURFACE AND THEN SEE A SLIGHT WESTWARD TURN AS YOU GO UP IN THE ATMOSPHERE. THIS WILL FAVOR A SLOW EASTWARD PROGRESSION OVERNIGHT TO THESE STORMS AND INCREASE THE POTENTIAL FOR TRAINING STORMS AND HEAVY RAINFALL. SOME DISCRETE CELLS MAY PACK ENOUGH ENERGY TO HAVE STRONG AND POTENTIALLY DAMAGING DOWNBURST WINDS IN A MOIST DOWNBURST BUT THE FLOW ALOFT DOES NOT SUGGEST A LOT OF ENVIRONMENTAL WIND TO TAP. SBCAPES APPROACH 2500 J/KG EARLY THIS EVENING AND THEN PETER OUT AFTER MIDNIGHT. EARLY THREAT HAS WINDS WITH DISCRETE CELLS AND THE LATER THREAT IS HEAVY RAINFALL. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL NOT SEE TOO LARGE OF A DROP WITH READINGS BOTTOMING OUT AROUND 70. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... STORMS NORTHWEST OF I-71 CORRIDOR WILL EXPERIENCE A SOUTHEASTWARD PUSH IN THE LATE MORNING AS THE H5 TROUGH DIGS IN THE WESTERN OHIO VALLEY AND HELPS PUSH THE FRONT THROUGH THE AREA IN THE LATER AFTERNOON. STORMS HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL AND MAYBE SOME WET MICROBURSTS GIVEN ENOUGH SPEED SHEAR DURING THE MORNING HOURS. VERY LITTLE IS NOTED AFTER 0Z IN CWA. THE BACK EDGE OF STORMS SHOULD BE AROUND A MAYSVILLE/CHILLICOTHE LINE OR EVEN FURTHER SOUTHEAST TOWARDS PIKETON OR PORTSMOUTH. SOME POST-FRONTAL SHOWERS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE IN THE COLD AIR IN THE EVENING BUT THE LIONS SHARE OF RAIN WILL BE DONE BY EVENING. HIGHS MONDAY WILL BE MUTED DUE TO THE RAIN AND ONLY TOP OUT IN THE 70S...WITH A FEW LOWER 80S POSSIBLE TOWARDS SOUTH CENTRAL OHIO AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF NORTHERN KENTUCKY. THIS IS DEPENDENT ON NOT GETTING ANY OF THE STORMS UNTIL THE AFTERNOON HOURS. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES OVER THE REGION IN THE WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT ON TUESDAY AND HIGHS WILL TOP OUT WITHIN A FEW DEGREES OF 80. OVERNIGHT LOWS MON NIGHT AND TUES NIGHT WILL BE IN THE LOWER 60S. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... FORECAST PERIOD BEGINS WITH A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE OVER THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY. THE RIDGE SLIPS SE INTO THE APPALACHIANS DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY. MEANWHILE...A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL DROP INTO NORTHERN OHIO BY WEDNESDAY EVENING. CONSENSUS OF MODELS IS TO KEEP WEDNESDAY DRY AND DROP A LOW CHANCE OF CONVECTION INTO THE REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THE FRONT STALLS ACROSS THE FA THURSDAY...BUT UPPER LEVEL FORCING IS WEAK...SO ONLY EXPECT ISOLATED CHANCE OF CONVECTION. BY FRIDAY THE RETURN FLOW HAS PICKED UP BRINGING A MORE MOIST AND UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE INTO THE AREA. SCATTERED DIURNAL CONVECTION WILL BE POSSIBLE FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT. ON SATURDAY ANOTHER CDFNT SWINGS INTO THE REGION TO HELP FOCUS THE MOISTURE AND BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVECTION. THE FRONT STALLS AROUND THE OHIO RIVER SATURDAY NIGHT AND SLY FLOW ACROSS THE FRONT KEEPS CONVECTION IN THE FORECAST FOR SUNDAY. WEDNESDAY SHOULD BE THE WARMEST DAY OF THE PERIOD AS COMPRESSIONAL HEATING AHEAD OF THE FRONT PUSHES HIGHS INTO THE UPPER 80S. A FEW MORE CLOUDS AND THE CHANCE OF CONVECTION THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WILL KNOCK A FEW DEGREES OFF OF HIGH THOSE DAYS. FOR THE WEEKEND...THE FRONTAL PASSAGE ON SATURDAY WILL KEEP HIGHS AROUND 80...WITH A REBOUND INTO THE LOWER 80S FOR SUNDAY. && .AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... STORMS WEST OF THE REGION WILL SPREAD EAST AND SOUTH OVERNIGHT BUT WEAKEN AS THEY MOVE TOWARDS THE TERMINALS. APPEARS THAT THERE COULD STILL BE SOME THUNDER FROM KDAY TO KCVG/KLUK BUT FURTHER EAST REMAINING PRECIPITATION MAY JUST BE SHOWERS IF IT EVEN MAKES IT THAT FAR. THERE ARE INDICATIONS THAT THE REMNANTS OF THESE STORMS MAY MOISTEN UP LOWER LEVELS ENOUGH TO EVENTUALLY LEAD TO LOWER CLOUDS ACROSS THE REGION. ONLY MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN THIS OCCURRING BUT DID ADD MVFR CEILINGS TO ALL BUT THE CINCINNATI TAFS TOWARDS 12Z. QUITE A BIT OF UNCERTAINTY HOW WEATHER WILL EVOLVE ON MONDAY WHICH IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON WHAT HAPPENS WITH OVERNIGHT ACTIVITY. AT THIS POINT MOST LIKELY SCENARIO APPEARS TO BE THAT ADDITIONAL SCATTERED STORMS WILL DEVELOP IN THE AREA DURING THE AFTERNOON AND MOVE OFF TO THE EAST BY THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD. OUTLOOK...IFR CEILINGS POSSIBLE MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING. THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE FRIDAY. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...NONE. KY...NONE.
