AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Wilmington OH 114 PM EDT Wed Jun 1 2022 .SYNOPSIS... A cold front will move in today and tonight before traveling southeast on Thursday. Showers and thunderstorms will accompany the front. High pressure will follow, bringing dry weather for the weekend. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... Upper level ridging and surface high pressure will begin to break down this afternoon and evening with a cold front dropping in from the northwest. Dry, hot, and humid conditions preclude the front this morning, before increasing clouds and storms are expected this afternoon ahead of the front. The exact timing of storms is a bit uncertain, but increasing coverage is likely to develop northwest of I-71 by 3pm before overspreading southeast through the late afternoon and evening. The severe threat with the storms is not overly impressive thanks to shear profiles being relatively unidirectional and modest (effective shear 25 knots or less). However, there is some hail and straight line damaging wind risk due to MLCAPE exceeding 1500 J/kg in conjunction with DCAPE around 1000 J/kg. Multicell clusters are the likely storm mode thanks to relatively weak shear parallel to the cold front. The SPC slight risk along I-71 and I-70 covers the area where maximum diurnal instability overlaps the best storm coverage. Locally heavy rain is likely where repeated storms occur. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/... Showers and thunderstorms will continue tonight as the cold front progresses southeast. The severe weather threat should linger into this evening until instability diminishes overnight, allowing convection to weaken. For Thursday, widespread showers and thunderstorms during the morning are expected to show a decreasing trend Thursday afternoon as the cold front pushes south of the Ohio River. A few stronger cells may linger in southern locations in persistent instability and shear closer to the departing boundary. A cooling trend will be noted thanks to clouds and advection behind the cold front, with highs ranging from the upper 60s northwest up to the upper 70s southeast. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/... Mid level shortwave and associated weak surface wave to shift east with frontal boundary pushing south thru the TN Valley to the Gulf states Thursday night. Precipitation to end from west to east Thursday evening as surface high pressure noses into the area. Zonal westerly flow with surface high pressure building across the region late this week into this weekend. This high will offer dry weather conditions. Temperatures slightly below normal with highs in the middle and upper 70s on Friday slowly warm to the lower 80s Sunday. Forecast uncertainty increases due to model solution spread late Sunday into early next week. The weather pattern looks to become more active with several waves tracking thru the Ohio Valley. Deterministic GFS is quickest, developing pcpn Sunday, while ECMWF holds off pcpn until Monday. Have opted for a blended solution with slight chance pops Sunday night and chance pops Monday. This chance continues Tuesday. Have limited pops to chance category due to uncertainty regarding timing. Temperatures look to be a little above normal with highs on Monday and Tuesday ranging from near 80 north to the lower 80s south. && .AVIATION /17Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... 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.
