NWS Wilmington, OH wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 1, 9:25 PM EST, 2 hours 53 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Wilmington OH 1025 PM EDT Mon Jul 1 2019 .SYNOPSIS... A summerlike pattern is in store for the holiday week as warm and humid conditions will affect the region, bringing the chance of thunderstorms each day. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/... Isolated convection in east central Indiana late this evening is diminishing at least for now. There remains some suggestion that there could be additional activity overnight in an instability axis extending southeast across the Tri-State into northern Kentucky. Forecast lows look reasonable. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... ILN/s FA to remain around the periphery of a strong mid level ridge Tuesday. Model solutions showing a weak shortwave moving through the Ohio Valley. Some morning convection is expected to increase in coverage with afternoon SBCAPE values of 3000-3500 J/KG. Have high chance pops to account for this threat. In warm sector temperatures will rise to highs on Tuesday from the upper 80s to lower 90s. These temperatures combined with surface dewpoints around 70 will result in maximum heat index values around 95 in some locations. Will allow pops to diminish to slight chance Tuesday night across most of the area. Will keep chance pops in the far north where best instby axis is expected to reside. Expect continued mild temperatures in the lower 70s && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... A warm and unsettled weather pattern will remain in place through much of the long term. Flat ridge will cover the Ohio Valley through the end of the week, keeping warm and humid air in place. In this air mass, and on the northern fringe of the ridge, expect the risk for showers and thunderstorms each day, highest coverage favoring the afternoon and evening hours although certainly any disturbances embedded within mid-level flow could enhance convective chances any time. Heights lower over the weekend as a trough approaches from the west. This will drag a cold front through the CWA. There is some uncertainty with regard to the exact timing of the front. Certainly the CWA will remain ahead of the front on Saturday, with showers and thunderstorms likely. Front will then press southward Sunday into Sunday night. Therefore will continue chance of convection then, with higher chances in the south assuming the front is in that area during peak heating. Both GFS and ECMWF suggest high pressure building in on Monday behind the cold front. This would bring drier and less humid air into the Ohio Valley. && .AVIATION /02Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... A weak disturbance moving southeast may keep some cumulus about the area overnight. But better cumulus coverage will occur during the day with heating. There may be greater coverage of storms late in the TAF period, but there is enough uncertainty that far out in time to preclude mention in the TAFs. Conditions will generally be VFR with the exception of KLUK where some valley fog is possible overnight.
