The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Wilmington, OH wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 1, 8:22 PM EST, 3 hours 38 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Wilmington OH 922 PM EDT Sat Jun 1 2019 .SYNOPSIS... A cold front will push southeast across the region tonight into Sunday morning, bringing a chance for showers and thunderstorms. A drier and somewhat cooler airmass will then build into the region for the first part of the week. More seasonable temperatures will return through mid week, along with the next chance for precipitation. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/... Finally just now starting to get a few updrafts along outflow boundary which has settled south into Hardin/Union/Delaware Counties from large nrn OH thunderstorm complex. This boundary will continue to fester with convection for the next few hours as moist southwesterly flow impinges on it. Stronger forcing for ascent was spreading into Indiana per water vapor imagery and thunderstorms over cntl/nrn Indiana were on the slow uptick. This has been well-advertised by numerous HRRR runs this afternoon and evening so expect storms to fill in a bit to the west and enter the northwestern part of the forecast area around 1030 PM. Think there's about a 2-3 hour window across Mercer/Darke counties east through Delaware County from 11P-1A or so that some strong to severe storms could be seen with wind the primary threat. The shear per the 02.00Z KILN sounding is paltry through the depth of the sounding, but as the night wears on further north, shear will increase somewhat to the point that a small scale bowing segment could have some longevity as it crosses the far northern CWA. This is especially true with the strong outflow boundary now draped across these counties and seemingly not going anywhere given weakening convection further north. There's plenty of instability and enough warm/moist flow in the boundary layer to keep activity near- surface based well into the overnight up there, so the maintenance of MRGL/SLGT risks particularly on the northern part of the forecast area seems the right call. Think the best coverage of showers and storms overnight will be across the north - thus highest rain chances there - and more focused in the first part of the overnight before slow loss of instability causes a gradual weakening of storms. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... A few showers and thunderstorms may linger into Sunday morning across our southeast but we should see an overall drying trend as the trough axis pivots off to our east. Surface high pressure will then build in across the region Sunday afternoon into Sunday night, leading to a decreasing cloud trend. Some cooler air filtering in on the backside of the trough will lead to highs on Sunday ranging from just the upper 60s northwest to the low to mid 70s across the south. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... A large and deep upper trough will be positioned along the East Coast to start the period. Surface high pressure forming under the confluent flow along the western flank of the upper trough will push across ILN, providing dry weather conditions Monday and Tuesday. Once the large upper trough moves east by Wednesday, a surface boundary developing along a more zonal flow aloft, enhanced by short wave undulations, will provide the focus for convection. Showers and a few thunderstorms will become likely Wednesday afternoon, and strong storms will be possible beneath the rather potent mid level flow. Showers and thunderstorms will continue to be possible Thursday through Saturday when low pressure is forecast to lift to the Great Lakes while the frontal boundary meanders over the region. Temperatures are forecast to start below normal under cold advection in the circulation around the surface high, with readings reaching the 60s Monday afternoon. A modest amount of warm advection will allow highs in the near normal upper 70s to around 80 for the remainder of the period. && .AVIATION /01Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... 00Z TAF cycle continues previous trends in prior forecast, with shower/thunderstorm chances on the increase this evening for DAY/CMH/LCK, and a little less so at ILN. Least chances down at CVG later in the night but still can't rule out some brief visibility and/or ceiling restrictions with any activity tonight as the cold front drives showers and storms across the forecast area. Highest chance of an abrupt wind shift with gusty winds this evening will be at DAY/CMH - with these sites also in line for the highest threat of brief IFR or MVFR restrictions. In the wake of the cold front on Sunday morning, expect a large area of MVFR ceilings and potentially some light fog in the moist/cooling airmass in the wake of the front. This should lift slowly through the morning as heating and mixing commence. Think clouds will be a little more stubborn than usual for early June given strong cold advection and breezy northwest winds. Expect CVG/LUK to break out first during the late morning or early afternoon, but northern sites /DAY...CMH...LCK/ may stay in VFR clouds well into the afternoon. OUTLOOK...Thunderstorms are possible Wednesday into Thursday. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. KY...None.

Special Weather Statement National Weather Service Wilmington OH 709 PM EDT Sat Jun 1 2019 OHZ026-035-044>046-020015- Hardin-Auglaize-Logan-Union OH-Delaware- Including the cities of Kenton, Ada, Wapakoneta, St. Marys, Bellefontaine, Marysville, and Delaware 709 PM EDT Sat Jun 1 2019 ...STRONG THUNDERSTORMS MOVING IN THIS EVENING... A large complex of thunderstorms - some strong to severe - will build south from the US Highway 30 corridor into portions of central and west-central Ohio this evening. The strongest storms may be capable of producing hail and gusty winds, while the potential for storms to move repeatedly over the same area may cause some localized flooding of small creeks and streams and poorly drained areas. Remain alert this evening - gusty winds from the storms may arrive well before the rain does - and stay aware for the potential for a few of these storms to become severe. Binau
