AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Wilmington OH 1113 AM EDT Thu Jun 27 2019 .SYNOPSIS... Warm and humid conditions will continue through the end of the week with a few afternoon and evening thunderstorms possible each day. A front will drop into the area on Sunday bringing a better chance of showers and thunderstorms. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... Expect mid to high clouds to be joined by some cu this afternoon as the atmosphere warms up, with highs in the mid to upper 80s across the CWA. A few showers and thunderstorms are also expected to pop up, mainly after 2 pm. Convection will likely be diurnally-driven, and based on latest high resolution/CAM guidance, the highest coverage may set up along a weak convergent axis aligned from west to east across western and central Ohio (roughly toward the I-70 corridor). Have chance PoPs/scattered coverage across this area for several hours during the afternoon/early evening, but with daytime heating can't rule out a pop up just about anywhere so slight chance PoPs/isolated coverage reside across the remainder of the CWA. Despite decent CAPE, larger scale forcing and shear are both weak, so severe weather is not expected although a localized strong storm is possible. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/... Remaining convection will diminish early in the period. Shear axis is forecast to weaken. Thus, it looks like there will be less forcing heading into Friday. Still cannot rule out some isolated storms during the heat of the day. Lows will be in the upper 60s with highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... High temperatures through the long term will generally be in the 80s with a few 90 degree readings possible on Saturday. Low temperatures will generally be in the upper 60s to low 70s with a few mid 60s readings possible Sunday night. Made only minor changes to the temperatures from the blend for the long term. A few pop up afternoon thunderstorms will be possible across northern portions of the region on Saturday. On Sunday a frontal boundary will move into the area allowing for a little higher precipitation chances especially across central Ohio. Working into next week there will be thunderstorm chances each day with a northwest flow aloft pattern. && .AVIATION /15Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... Few to scattered cumulus will occur underneath a high deck through much of the day. There will be isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms after 20Z. At this time there appears to be a bit better chance of them occurring from KDAY to KCMH/KLCK, so included a brief VCTS there. Precipitation chances will end shortly after 00Z and clouds will diminish. Not out of the question to see some visibility restrictions at KLUK late in the period. OUTLOOK...Thunderstorms possible Sunday. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. KY...None. IN...None. && SYNOPSIS... NEAR TERM...BPP SHORT TERM... LONG TERM...Novak AVIATION...
