AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Wilmington OH 437 AM EST Fri Feb 25 2022 .SYNOPSIS... Low pressure will move well east of the region today. High pressure will build in tonight through Saturday night. A cold front will push across the area on Sunday. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... Measurable precipitation is quickly moving out of the area. However, there are some very light echoes trailing the main precipitation shield. There have been some observations of drizzle/freezing drizzle and flurries with this. This activity will quickly move through the region before daybreak. West winds will be a bit gusty this morning and then diminish somewhat in the afternoon. Clouds will persist with maybe a few breaks late in the day. Temperatures will remain below normal with highs mainly in the 30s. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/... High pressure will build into the area during the period. This will eventually lead to low clouds eroding, although that may not occur until late tonight or Saturday morning. Temperatures will remain below normal with lows in the mid teens to mid 20s and highs in the 30s to lower 40s. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/... A broad area of surface high pressure will be stretched from the lower Central Plains towards the Ohio Valley to start the period. Skies generally become mostly clear Sat night and allow for lows to drop into the 20s. High pressure remains in control through Sunday with temperatures near seasonal normals. Even though a shortwave trough will be moving through on Sunday, most of the energy remains to our south. There will be another weak system to our northeast that could bring some light snow across portions of northern OH Sunday night, but that appears to remain north of our CWA based on current model trends. The pattern for most of the work week will be characterized by northwesterly flow aloft that will keep drier air in place. There will be several shortwaves that move through that could initiate some light pcpn, but the forcing appears to be fairly weak, and with a moisture-starved environment, pcpn chances remain very low as of now. Thus, have kept the forecast dry until signal become stronger for any pcpn chances through the period. Temperatures generally expected to trend near or just above seasonal normals through the work week. && .AVIATION /09Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... While persistent precipitation has ended, some light echoes may still pass across the terminals through 12Z. This may be a brief period of flurries or drizzle/freezing drizzle. It will bring a temporary reduction in visibility. Ceilings will lift to IFR and then MVFR, eventually getting above 2kft this afternoon. West winds may gust over 20 kt through about 15Z. Winds will then diminish a bit through the afternoon. OUTLOOK...MVFR ceilings will likely persist into early Saturday morning. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. KY...None. IN...None. && SYNOPSIS... NEAR TERM... SHORT TERM... LONG TERM...Clark AVIATION...
