Damaging Wind in Kentucky, May 26, 2019

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wilmington OH
332 PM EDT Sun May 26 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
Showers and thunderstorms will affect the region this evening as
a front drops south into the area. The front will lift back
north on Memorial Day keeping scattered storms in the forecast.
Warm and humid conditions and unsettled weather will be the
rule into next week with a chance of thunderstorms each day.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
Mid level shortwave evident on water vapor imagery tracking
across Southern IL moving into Southern IN. Thunderstorms are
increasing in coverage in the moderately unstable airmass over
the Ohio Valley ahead this shortwave.

Bulk shear of 45 to 50 kts is resulting in organized storms
and rotating updrafts. Rotating supercell over Hocking county
has produced 3 inch diameter hail. Threat for severe weather
will continue into this evening. Damaging winds and large hail
are the primary threats with generally weak low level
hodographs.

With the passage of this shortwave - thunderstorms will
diminish early this evening with the front slipping south of the
Ohio River and stalling out overnight.

Low clouds and some fog will likely develop overnight in the
moist environment along and north of the boundary. Overnight low
temperatures to range from near 60 north to the mid 60s south.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
Another mid level shortwave to track through the Ohio Valley
with the front lifting back north as a warm front Monday
afternoon. Moderate instability develops late in the day across
the west as the warm front begins to pivot north. Severe storms
will again be possible in this region. Mondays highs to range
from the upper 70s north to mid 80s south.

Mid level ridge builds into the region Monday night with the
front pushing north of the region into the Great Lakes. Storm
chances will diminish across the south but will keep a slight
chance across the far north. Expect mild lows Monday night in
the mid and upper 60s. &&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
An active weather pattern will continue through the coming week.

The Ohio Valley will remain on the northern periphery of a mid-level
ridge through Thursday, with occasional chances for storms expected
as disturbances move eastward through the flow. As this occurs, a
surface frontal boundary is expected to remain somewhere in the
area, though generally favored to be just north of the ILN CWA,
keeping the region within an area of warm and moist conditions. As
it appears right now, this boundary should almost certainly be north
of the area on Tuesday, leading to the CWA being largely warm
sectored and capped, and unlikely to be a source of convective
development. Nonetheless, there are some indications that convection
developing closer to the front may propagate southward into the
forecast area during the afternoon/evening, warranting some 20-30
PoPs north of Interstate 70. Tuesday should also be the warmest day
of the extended period, with highs in the mid 80s to lower 90s. As
the front oscillates slightly southward on Wednesday, and a
shortwave approaches from the west, temperatures should moderate
slightly -- but chances for storms will also increase.

A more pronounced shortwave is expected to move into the area on
Thursday, along with a further southward progression of the surface
boundary. This will lead to what appears to be the greatest chance
for precipitation during peak diurnal timing. Beyond Thursday, there
are timing differences in the models regarding the progression of a
secondary trough moving across the Great Lakes -- the 00Z ECMWF, for
example, is a little more amplified and slower with its eastward
motion. Thus, there is much less certainty with the precipitation
forecast for Friday and beyond. This is especially true heading into
the weekend, when flow will set up in more of a pseudo-zonal
orientation, with quicker shortwaves that are very hard to time out.

Temperatures from Thursday through the weekend should be slightly
cooler than earlier in the week, but generally still near to
slightly above normal.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Thunderstorms will increase in coverage in the moderately
unstable airmass over the Ohio Valley ahead of a shortwave
located over Southern Illinois. Bulk shear will support
organized storms with damaging winds and large hail possible
this aftn into early evening. Have a tempo group in TAFs for
time when the best threat for storms is forecast. Have MVFR
ceilings and IFR vsbys in the storms but brief IFR ceilings
are possible.

With the passage of this s/w - thunderstorms will diminish
early this evening with the front slipping south of the Ohio
River and stalling out overnight. Fog and low clouds are
expected to develop north of the front. The best chance for IFR
conditions will occur across the southern TAF sites.

Vsbys will improve and expect ceilings to lift to VFR by late
morning. The front to lift back north as a warm front Monday
with additional thunderstorms expected.

OUTLOOK...Thunderstorms possible Monday afternoon into Monday
night, then again Wednesday and Thursday.
