NWS Wilmington, OH wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 5, 12:49 PM EST, 1 hour 28 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wilmington OH 149 PM EDT Mon Jun 5 2017 .SYNOPSIS... A cold front dropping south across Ohio will be the focus for scattered showers and thunderstorms today. Low pressure in the upper atmosphere will keep a low threat for showers in the forecast Tuesday through Thursday. Drier weather is expected Friday under high pressure. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... Convergence along a pre-frontal trough is showing some enhanced cumulus. Despite higher clouds, the area is unstable, so scattered convection is still expected to develop through the afternoon as this convergent axis drops south. Bulk shear is increasing, so some strong to possibly severe cells are not out of the question. Cold front is about 50-75 miles behind the pre-frontal trough. There could be enough convergence along it to pop a few cells in northwest counties as well. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/... Cold front will be near the Ohio River to start, keeping the threat for showers and thunderstorms this evening into tonight, with chances decreasing by Midnight with loss of daytime heating. Front should then accelerate southward out of the area later tonight as mid level flow increases around a deepening upper low to the northeast. This will allow surface high pressure to move toward the area from the northwest. However, the closed upper low is forecast to retrograde back toward Ohio on Tuesday, keeping a few showers in the picture, mainly for northeast counties. Cold advection at the surface and aloft, and associated cloud cover, will result in slightly below normal highs in the low to mid 70s. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... Large elongated mid/upr level low to drop south from the eastern Great Lakes into the upper Ohio Valley at mid week. Mid level s/w expected to rotate around this elongated low Wednesday which will keep a chance of showers in the forecast mainly during the afternoon. The best chance of a showers will occur over the far eastern counties. Under the influence of this low temperatures will be below normal with highs on Wednesday in the upper 60s to around 70. Model solutions trending a little slower and further west with showers, as another s/w rotates around the mid level low. Have low pop chance for a shower in the east Thursday but if this may have to be pushed further west if the westward trend continues. Temperatures are expected to be around 5 degrees below with highs on Thursday in the lower 70s. As the mid level low departs surface ridging will provide a temporary dry period later Thursday into early Friday. Uncertainty increases with model solutions differing on timing of mid level s/w and associated front. Ecmwf is about 6 hours slower than latest GFS soln. Have opted for a blended soln with a chance of thunderstorms developing later in the day Friday and then diminishing Saturday as the system moves off to the southeast. Temperatures look to be closer to normal with highs Friday and Saturday in the upper 70s to lower 80s. Mid level ridge looks to build in toward the end of next weekend providing dry weather and a warming trend. Expect highs next Sunday in the mid and upper 80s. && .AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... Scattered to broken cumulus will occur through the early part of the TAF period. Convergent axis dropping south across the region could result in some thunderstorms, so have kept a 2 hour window of VCTS for the better chance of a storm. Cumulus will dissipate in the evening leaving clear skies overnight into Wednesday. It is not out of the question that some shallow fog could cause temporary visibility restrictions at KLUK late tonight, but it seems more likely that drier air spreading in will limit this potential. Some cumulus will develop late in the TAF period. OUTLOOK...No significant weather expected. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. KY...None.
