Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wilmington OH
952 PM EDT Thu Jul 13 2017
.SYNOPSIS...
Thunderstorm chances will continue into tonight as a cold front
slowly moves south into the Ohio Valley. Very heavy rain will
be possible with some of the storms. Rain chances will continue
to shift south on Friday, before clearing the area on Friday
afternoon. Slightly cooler and drier conditions are anticipated
for the weekend, until thunderstorm chances begin again on
Sunday.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
Severe threat has diminished. Cannot rule out an isolated strong
storm, however expect any remaining threat to generally be
isolated heavy rainfall. Cancelled portions of the flash flood
watch. Some of the hi res models are indicating additional
development across portions of the region and with some flood
products already in place, did not want to cancel the remainder
of the flash flood watch just yet. Will monitor trends and
reevaluate within a couple of hours.
With moist airmass in place do not expect temperatures to drop
much overnight. Went close to guidance with lows in the low to
middle 70s.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
With the cold front still taking its time moving through the ILN
CWA on Friday, chances for storms will continue, mainly for the
southeastern half of the forecast area. The environment ahead
of the cold front will remain very similar to today -- quite
moist and generally unstable, but weakly sheared. Thus, similar
threats may be possible in the southeastern CWA tomorrow through
early afternoon -- a very marginal severe risk, but a decent
threat for heavy rain. By evening, all chances for precipitation
will be ending, as dewpoints behind the front drop into the
lower to mid 60s. Though Friday is likely to still be relatively
warm -- generally lower to mid 80s -- the drier conditions will
allow for min temps Friday night to drop well into the 60s.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Period begins with high pressure centered over the mid Mississippi
Valley, extending east into the region. The GFS is in the minority
as it produces some pop up showers Saturday afternoon. Expect some
cu to develop, put will keep the forecast dry at this point. Highs
will be between 80-85 degrees.
Models continue to advertise a frontal passage Sunday night. Ahead
of the front Sunday afternoon, the GFS remains a little quicker in
dropping QPF into the nw counties. Will carry slight chance the PoPs
in the nw. Overnight Sunday night as the front drops through the
region, scattered convection should affect the fa. The front lingers
near the Ohio at 12Z Monday, so kept chance PoPs for the first part
of the day. Highs Monday will be in the lower to mid 80s.
Models differ with how strong the upper ridging will be for the
middle of next week. THe GFS is a little flatter and therefore
allows pcpn to begin to work into the region by Wednesday. Kept most
of the region dry Wednesday, then went chance PoPs Thursday.
&&
.AVIATION /02Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Off and on shower and thunderstorm activity will be possible
through the middle of the day on Friday before moving out of the
region. Expect the greatest coverage across KDAY, KCMH, and KLCK
near the start of the TAF period. Vsbys and cigs may be reduced
at times into the MVFR category this evening into Friday
morning. Cu will be present Friday afternoon with weak CAA.
OUTLOOK...Thunderstorms are possible on Monday.
