NWS Wilmington, OH wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 1, 2:04 PM EST, 4 hours 21 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Wilmington OH 304 PM EDT Wed Jun 1 2022 .SYNOPSIS... A cold front will approach the area this evening through the overnight bringing the chance for showers and thunderstorms until Thursday morning. The cold front pushes south of the area Thursday afternoon allowing drier, more mild air, into the region for the end of the week. The next chance for rain will then arrive late Sunday into early Monday. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/... A cold front will continue to approach the area from the northwest late this afternoon into the evening. Hot and humid air remains in place ahead of the front characterized by moderate instability (MLCAPE around 1500 J/kg) and large amounts of DCAPE (1000+ J/kg). Damaging winds are the main threat associated with any storms in the unstable airmass this afternoon due to strong downdraft potential in the high DCAPE environment. Storm organization is likely to be single cellular to multicellular with fairly weak (25 knots or less) boundary parallel southwesterly shear in place. Locally heavy rainfall amounts are possible in areas that see repeated storms. By late this evening into the overnight, storm strength and downdraft potential will likely start to decrease with the loss of diurnal instability and decreasing DCAPE. However, storm coverage may remain fairly high since the area will still be south of the cold front and disturbances keep swinging through. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... The cold front mentioned in the Near Term will likely still be lingering somewhere between I-70 and the Ohio River Thursday morning. The chance for showers and some weak storms remains across these locations south of the front for the first half of the day until the front pushes south later in the morning. Northwesterly flow and upper level troughing is finally expected to overspread the entire area by Thursday afternoon allowing for drier, more mild air to filter in. Forecast highs are cooler north of I-70 (lower 70s) where the cold arrives early and warmer by the Ohio River (middle 70s) which will initially be south of the front. High pressure builds in behind the cold front on Thursday night brining cool, dry, northwesterly flow. Lows will be in the lower 50s under mostly clear skies. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... Tranquil weather conditions are on tap for the region for the start of the long term period as sfc high pressure settles into the OH Vly in the post-frontal environment Friday through Saturday. This will be accompanied by unseasonably dry air, allowing for below normal temps at night and near normal temps during the daytime both Friday and Saturday. Skies will be mostly clear during this period, with a bit more clouds filtering in late Saturday afternoon in the northern OH Vly as a disturbances passes through the Great Lakes region into Saturday night. Highs in the mid/upper 70s to around 80F are expected both Friday and Saturday. The pattern turns a bit more active as we progress into the latter part of the weekend through early next week as the NW flow aloft becomes more quasi-zonal, with one or more disturbances pivoting around the southern periphery of the broader midlevel low across the upper Midwest. This quasi-zonal flow will persist through midweek, with several disturbances ejecting E from the central plains to the OH Vly from Monday through Wednesday. The details of this pattern are not likely to come into focus for several days as guidance can struggle with these types of patterns in which weakly convectively- enhanced disturbances translate through a region with an oscillating quasi-zonal LL thermal/moisture boundary. What does seem a bit more certain is the potential for one or more somewhat organized shower/storm chances during this period in an environment that will episodically be augmented by convection. Have therefore broad- brushed PoPs, especially late Monday through the end of the long term period, with slightly higher PoPs included in the fcst for Monday as the front pushes into the region. The timing and placement of the various features that will come into play from Monday through Wednesday are still very much in question, but the pattern will be watched carefully in the coming days. Above normal temps and moisture will settle into the region from Sunday through the end of the long term period, with highs in the lower 80s and lows in the 60s. && .AVIATION /19Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... VFR cumulus will continue increasing in coverage as a cold front approaches from the northwest today. Cumulus is eventually expected to grow into showers and thunderstorms later this afternoon and evening. Best storm coverage this afternoon is forecast to be around KDAY where VCTS has been included at 2100z. Shower and storm activity is then expected to slowly sag southeast overnight eventually impacting all the TAF sites. MVFR ceilings are moderately likely to accompany the showers and storms overnight into the morning. Southwesterly winds around 10 knots persist this afternoon ahead of the cold front sinking southward. Winds veer through the TAF period eventually switching to northwesterly after FROPA Thursday morning. OUTLOOK... No significant weather expected beyond today/tonight. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. KY...None.
