Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wilmington OH 322 PM EDT SAT SEP 10 2016 .SYNOPSIS... A cold front with strong to severe thunderstorms will sweep across the area this afternoon. High pressure and dry conditions with more comfortable temperatures will build in for the early part of the week. Another frontal system will bring renewed chances for showers and thunderstorms Tuesday night into Wednesday. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/... Strengthening storms into the area as associated with a prefrontal trough. Expecting scattered severe storms through early evening with a thin area of enhanced ML CAPE of 1500+ J/KG with damaging winds being the primary threat with these quickly moving storms in a DCAPE environment of 1200-1400 J/KG range. With the frontal boundary itself lagging a bit back currently extending from GYY through far eastern IL and approaching western KY...there will be some showers behind the main line of storms...with wind gusts to 20-25kts expected and not diminishing in the east until the 01-02z timeframe in the eastern forecast area. skies will clear fairly quickly behind the frontal passage overnight. Have generally gone with a short term blend for overnight lows. High pressure will begin to build across the region toward daybreak but winds will be up enough to not result in any light fog issues in the clearing. Overnight lows in the more comfortable mid-upper 50s in the west and closer to 60 in the east. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... The high will continue to build into the area during the day on Sunday...with drier air and mostly clear skies with mid 70s for the high. With continued cooler air working in on Monday night...overnight lows in the low/mid 50s. Southerly flow returns later in the day on Monday so temperatures rebound to near 80 under continued sunny skies. For Monday night southerly flow returns more in earnest so overnight lows to be upper 50s to near 60. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... Tuesday will be another dry but warmer day as high pressure moves further east and the next cold front moves into the western Great Lakes and mid Mississippi Valley. This front will slide through the region Tuesday night into Wednesday with some showers and thunderstorms possible along and behind the front. Low chance PoPs are sufficient with a slightly better chance of rain in northern counties early on Wednesday. High pressure will build across the Great Lakes Thursday and Friday with seasonable temperatures. An upper level ridge will build over the southeast United States for the first part of next weekend, then it will drift slowly offshore by early next week. At the same time, a mid level trough will dig slowly southeast into the Great Lakes. This scenario will bring a gradual increase in moisture ahead of a slow moving cold front. Have brought chance pops for showers and storms for Saturday with perhaps a better chance holding off into the latter half of the weekend. && .AVIATION /19Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... A line of storms will pass through the CWA this afternoon. Outside of this, vfr conditions will be found with the possible early exception of a cig dropping below 3kft ahead of the storms. Lingering showers may persist a little early this evening behind the deeper convection and thunderstorms. Gusty winds to 25kt will shift northwestward in the post-frontal atmosphere and die out with the coming of nightfall. Few cu may pop up during the day tomorrow but the characteristic of the sky will be clear/sunny with a light northerly wind beginning in the predawn hours. Chose the middle ground of a lighter wind and nnw direction with clear skies versus another line or two in the taf. OUTLOOK...No significant weather is expected. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. KY...None.
