AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wilmington OH
1215 AM EDT Sun Jun 16 2019
.SYNOPSIS...
An oscillating frontal boundary will provide a focus for
showers and thunderstorms into early next week. The chance for
additional rain lingers throughout next week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
MCS continues to move across the forecast area. Northern part of
this will clear the forecast area over the next several hours as
MCV heads east. However tail end of activity is becoming more
east-west, or east southeast-west northwest, oriented. This
will persist through the night and may even increase in
intensity later tonight as impulse moving across Illinois drops
into the area. The way this is lining up, the flash flood threat
appears to be greater from southeast Indiana across southern
Ohio. In addition, low level shear remains high and despite
limited instability, shallow super cellular structures continue
to come develop. Thus severe weather threat has not come to an
end.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
On Sunday, expect the showers and thunderstorms to develop
back across much of the fa as instability increases with the
heating of the day. Kept PoPs in the likely category.
Precipitation chances will linger into Sunday night.
Highs on Sunday will push into the upper 70s to lower 80s.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
An active weather pattern is expected to continue through the long
term time frame. Several systems will move into the region through
the week. This will keep precipitation chances in the forecast
everyday from Monday through Friday. Due to the several rounds of
showers and storms through the week, there will be the potential for
flooding concerns. Will mention flooding potential in the HWO. In
addition, there will also be a damaging with threat with some of
these storms. At this point given some uncertainty with the severe
potential, will only mention on Monday for now in the HWO.
There will be very little day to day variation with temperatures.
High temperatures will generally be in the middle 70s to lower 80s
through the week and Low temperatures are expected to be in the
60s.
&&
.AVIATION /04Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Showers and embedded thunderstorms will move across the
terminals during the early part of the TAF period. This will
bring periods of IFR conditions. Showers may then continue well
into the night across southern Ohio which may continue to affect
the Cincinnati terminals. North of there expect prevailing
ceilings to fall to MVFR with some potential to get as low as
IFR. It appears that an additional round of showers will move
through after 12Z. After this clears, ceilings will gradually
lift and eventually become VFR.
OUTLOOK...Thunderstorms will be possible through Thursday.
