AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wilmington OH
203 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 THIS MORNING/...
Convection is pushing out of the northern counties temporarily
as an MCV heads east. But line of convection continues across
southern Ohio into southeast Indiana. This then extends
northwest to intersect next MCS moving towards the area. The
effective boundary may lift a bit further north with the
approach of this next system but probably not by much. So there
will be an axis favorable for repeated rainfall and potentially
excessive totals. The showers and storms will be continuing into
the morning, so have extended the flash flood watch to noon
Sunday.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
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 NIGHT 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 /06Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Convection will periodically impact the terminals through the
early part of the TAF period. Heavier activity will reduce
visibilities to IFR. In addition, ceilings will fall to MVFR to
IFR at all but the Cincinnati terminals. While confidence is not
high, it does appear that precipitation will diminish after 15Z
with little occurring later in the day. But will have to monitor
trends to see if any storms can develop closer to 00Z. Ceilings
will lift to VFR and eventually scatter after 18Z.
OUTLOOK...Thunderstorms will be possible through Thursday.
