AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Wilmington OH 342 PM EDT Wed Jun 8 2022 .SYNOPSIS... Low pressure will track across the Ohio Valley through this evening, promoting showers and thunderstorms. Weak high pressure will gradually build in late Thursday and Thursday night. Another disturbance will bring unsettled conditions late Friday into Friday night. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/... Showers and thunderstorms have developed across the Tri-State area near a northward advancing warm front, and also instigated from an eastward moving MCV. Initial scattered convection may be discrete/supercellular in nature, but as a shortwave/deepening low approaches from the west later this afternoon and evening, more widespread convection is expected and convection may eventually take on more of a linear mode. Expect a tight gradient of CAPE as the warm front moves to the north, but sufficient instability to support organized and possibly severe convection looks to move northward into much of the CWA over the next several hours. Wind fields and shear look pretty good too, and therefore there is the risk for all severe hazards into this evening. Damaging winds and large hail are the primary threats, however with the warm front and available shear, rotating storms and isolated tornadoes will be possible. In addition, heavy rainfall will occur in the strongest storms and those areas that receive multiple rounds of heavy rainfall and/or training could wind up with localized flash flooding. As the low and shortwave move east across Ohio, convection will push east with it and end from west to east this evening, although lingering low level moisture will likely produce cloudy skies for the overnight. Lows will drop into the mid to upper 50s. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... Northwest flow will be in place during the day on Thursday. With lingering low level moisture, mostly cloudy skies will persist through much of the day. Can't even rule out a few sprinkles or very light showers, particularly over central Ohio. High temperatures will only rise into the lower to mid 70s over most of the CWA. High pressure builds in for Thursday night, allowing for partial clearing and lows mainly in the mid to upper 50s. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... As has been advertised, the long wave pattern across the CONUS will undergo some amplification as we head into the upcoming weekend. Another embedded s/wv in the flow will help carve out a mid level trough over the Great Lakes. Will continue with a threat for showers along with a low chance of thunder Friday/Friday night. Clouds and pcpn will keep high temperatures on Friday below normal in the lower to mid 70s. For Saturday, the s/wv energy will departing, so other than some lingering showers east in the morning, skies should eventually become partly cloudy. The cool pattern will continue with highs again in the lower to mid 70s. By Sunday, the mid level trough will begin to shift a little more to the east. However, a weak frontal boundary passing across the Great Lakes may bring a low chance for a shower/storm to the north, otherwise skies will be partly cloudy. Temperatures will begin to modify with highs in the upper 70s to the lower 80s. Long range models indicate that a mid level ridge will build north and east into the Ohio Valley by next week. This will be marked by an advancing warm front Monday night into Tuesday. Southerly flow will bring more humid conditions into the area. And with rising geopotential heights, temperatures will further warm. There will also be a chance of showers/storms with the warm front, then low chances of showers/storms in the hot and humid warm sector. Highs in the mid/upper 80s on Monday will warm into the lower 90s by Tuesday/Wednesday. By Tuesday/Wednesday, the heat and humidity could boost heat index values into the 95 to 100 degree range. && .AVIATION /19Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... Expect showers and thunderstorms to affect area terminals later this afternoon into the early evening. Activity may initially fire near a northward moving warm front, then additional activity associated with low pressure and a mid level disturbance will move from west to east across the area. Tried to pinpoint the most likely timing of thunderstorms with MVFR conditions at all terminals. Amendments to refine timing and/or include strong winds gusts and lower visibilities will likely become necessary later this afternoon. As low pressure moves east later this evening, convection will end and winds shift to the northwest, but low level moisture lingering is likely to result in a stratus deck of clouds with prevailing MVFR to IFR conditions. MVFR cigs may linger well into the morning on Thursday before improving. OUTLOOK...MVFR conditions are possible Friday night into Saturday morning. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None.
