Hail in Kentucky, May 23, 2019

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wilmington OH
149 PM EDT Thu May 23 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible this
afternoon into this evening as a cold front moves south through
the region. The cold front will then stall near the Ohio River
by Friday morning. This front will slowly dissipate which will
result in the return of early summer like weather for the
weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
Much of the region has been temporarily worked over by a now
weakened MCS now south and east of the area. A cluster of
showers/storms will move across the Ohio River Valley through
early afternoon. Thereafter, we should recover with MLCAPES
pushing around 1500 J/kg ahead of a cold front moving into the
region from the northwest. Latest CAMs suggest that scatter
shower/thunderstorms development will be greatest across the
southern half of the CWFA, particularly near the Ohio River.
With moderate instability and moderate shear, a few severe
thunderstorms will be possible later this afternoon into this
evening. Damaging winds and large hail would be the primary
severe weather threats.

Winds will strengthen and gust up to 30 mph this afternoon.
Temperatures should recover to the upper 70s to mid 80s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/...
Storms may continue into the evening near the Ohio River.
Additional activity may develop along a cold front pushing south
into the forecast area. This will bring a brief chance of storms
to central Ohio before instability diminishes. The front will
continue south through the night and stall in the far southern
part of the forecast area. The western end of the boundary will
extend northwest connecting up to a low in the midwest. Showers
and thunderstorms may develop along the front on Friday. Given
the frontal position, the greatest chance is in the Tri-State.
With the boundary in the area, there will be a reasonable
gradient in temperatures. Lows will range from the mid 50s to
mid 60s with highs in the mid 70s to mid 80s.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
A warm and mostly dry Friday night will be in place with low
temperatures only dropping down into the 60s.  Thunderstorms are
expected to develop during the day on Saturday with a greater chance
for thunderstorm development near and north of Interstate 70.  There
is the potential that some of these storms across this area will
produce damaging winds and large hail.

With a frontal boundary in the vicinity on Sunday expect additional
showers and thunderstorms to move across the region.  This
precipitation has the potential to be a little more widespread and
therefore high temperatures will range from the upper 70s to middle
80s across the region.

Additional thunderstorms are possible on Monday as a disturbance
moves across the area.  Storm chances will be a little more isolated
for Tuesday before a more pronounced system on Wednesday brings
gusty winds and additional thunderstorm chances to the area.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
A cold front will move southeast into our region this afternoon
and evening. An embedded disturbance in the mid level flow aloft
will combine with the advancing front and diurnal instability to
bring scattered showers and thunderstorms. Activity is expected
to wane this evening. VCTS/CB has been placed at all sites for a
period except KDAY. Brief MVFR ceilings and IFR visibilities can
be expected with storms.

For the overnight period, although the front will eventually lay
out west to east along the Ohio River, weak return flow aloft
will occur up and over the boundary late. This will bring a low
chance of a shower/storm west of KCVG/KLUK late.

On Friday, a mid level ridge will slowly build northward into
the Ohio Valley. Old frontal boundary will slowly pivot
northeast as a warm front during the day. There could be a low
chance of a shower/storm across the western forecast area
through early afternoon near the advancing boundary. Thereafter,
mixing may reduce the weak ascent, allowing convection to wane,
despite peak heating.

OUTLOOK...Thunderstorms possible at times Saturday through
Tuesday.
