NWS Wilmington, OH wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 3, 3:49 AM EST, 1 hour 41 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Wilmington OH 449 AM EDT Wed Jul 3 2019 .SYNOPSIS... The region will remain entrenched in a hot and humid summertime pattern through the end of the week. This pattern will see scattered thunderstorms develop with a peak in activity expected with the heat of the day. Disorganized upper level energy will keep the threat of isolated to sometimes scattered storms during the overnight hours as well. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Forecast today is somewhat a continuation of the broken record of hot and humid with thunderstorm activity at just about anytime, peaking in the late day. H5 pattern has energy in a w-e line dissipating early this morning as it moves east-southeast into the mean upper ridge in the region. Pockets of stronger upward motion will remain over the Ohio Valley as models are showing a weak upper low somewhere over the nrn/nern CWA this afternoon. The associated placement of showers in the region does not seem to be following the upper energy, but is more haphazard with storms occurring just about anywhere today. More cloud cover from the ongoing and expected convective development today will likely limit highs to the upper 80s and not see many readings top 90 today. Dewpoints in the low 70s to around 70 will make it feel like it is in the low to mid 90s. Lingering storms and continued firing of new convection will persist overnight. Low temps will be limited to the dewpoints, generally right around 70. Any storms that develop will produce very heavy rainfall in a brief period of time. && .SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... The weak upper low over the area at the beginning of the day will continue to support thunderstorms that are present but there are few models that have any storms around with the onset of daybreak. Daytime heating will spark more development, and any storms that develop will contain torrential rainfall. With the loss of daytime heating, storms should dissipate a bit better than they have the past few days as the upper low will be moving east and the CWA will be on the back side with downward motion inhibiting storms from lasting much past the early evening hours. Daytime highs and overnight lows will be carbon copies of today/tonight. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... Friday and early Saturday will be a continuation of the same weather pattern. An upper level trough will cross overnight Friday, along with frontal passage early Saturday that will be more a wind shift than an actual change in airmass. High pressure building to the north on Saturday will finally have enough of a push to bring drier air in and a lull in thunderstorm activity beginning in the evening and lasting through the rest of the forecast. Upper level energy may translate across the region in westerly flow, but do not believe the models will have a good timing on a relatively minor disturbance forecast this far out. Overnight lows Saturday will finally start to drop into the 60s, and highs from Sunday onward will be in the low to mid 80s, with subsequent lows Sunday and Monday night dropping into the lower and middle 60s with relatively drier air. && .AVIATION /08Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... Convection continues to move across northern Ohio to Central Ohio affecting KCMH/KLCK. Models are suggesting that the convection in ne IN and nw OH will continue to weaken as it works east. So kept a mention of thunder through 08Z at KCMH/KLCK. For the rest of the tafs scattered mid and high clouds are expected through 12Z. MVFR fog is a possibility before sunrise at LUK and ILN. The area will remain between an upper ridge to the southwest and the frontal boundary and shortwave activity to the ne for Wednesday. Atmosphere will destabilize again with the heating of the day, pushing CAPES to between 2-3k J/kg. Scattered convection is expected between 18-03Z. Carried VCTS after 18z all locations. OUTLOOK...Thunderstorms possible through Saturday, with the activity peaking each afternoon. MVFR visibility possible in thunderstorms. Some potential for MVFR ceilings Thursday morning. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. KY...None.
