AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Wilmington OH 308 PM EDT Thu Jun 29 2023 .SYNOPSIS... Multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms will be possible through the Independence Day weekend as disturbances interact with a humid and unstable airmass. Smoke and haze originating from Canadian wildfires may improve under increasing winds and precipitation. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/... Smoke and haze are gradually growing less prevalent as winds shift to south away from the source region of Canada. Thunderstorm complex over Illinois generating severe weather is moving into Indiana and towards Ohio and Kentucky. After monitoring current model, satellite and radar trends, this MCS is likely to affect ILN late this afternoon and this evening, mainly across western counties. Though this system may weaken and turn southeast toward more unstable air, a line of storms containing strong wind gusts and heavy downpours could reach our western fringe between 5pm and 6pm. Further weakening may limit the strong gusts to the western half of the FA. Keeping chance pops for the rest of tonight with a lot of uncertainty regarding placement of any storms that linger. Low temperatures in the mid and upper 60s are forecast. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/... Thunderstorm chances continue Friday in a persistently warm and unstable airmass. Lack of major short wave forcing keeps pops in the chance range. High temperatures are forecast to reach the mid and upper 80s north up to the lower 90s south. Heat indices will briefly reach 100 in some far southern locations. For Friday night, increased forcing surrounding the next thunderstorm complex points to likely pops for thunderstorms. From an environment containing around 3000 J/KG CAPE and 2 inches PWAT, some storms could produce damaging wind gusts and heavy downpours. Forecast lows are around 70. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... At the start of the period, the broad ridge of high pressure remains to our south over the Gulf of Mexico with a closed low over Ontario and a wave digging down into into the Central Great Plains. This set up keeps the ILN CWA under an area of enhanced westerly flow aloft on the northern periphery of the ridge. Nearer to the surface, the same airmass will be in place, with hot and humid conditions (Saturday highs reaching mid to upper 80s), elevated instability, and a low level cap. Again, the overall setup would suggest rounds of showers and storms, with MCS development and maintenance possible, however, a large enough nose of warm air in the lower levels may inhibit more robust storm formation. By Saturday night/ Sunday morning, the low to our north (as well as the wave over the Plains) will have progressed eastward. This sets up a stalled boundary somewhere near our area, again allowing for periodic rounds of showers and thunderstorms. Any training storms would allow for a localized flood threat; all echoed in the WPC ERO and SPC Convective Outlooks. By Monday, the trailing low pressure system and cold front will be moving through and high temperatures moderate down a bit, only reaching the low 80s while additional precipitation chances remain in the forecast. Temperatures rebound back to the upper 80s by Tuesday as the wave continues to move east and is replaced by ridging, however, showers and storms remain in the grids as a combination diurnally driven popups and weak shortwaves traverse the larger flow. && .AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... Forecast begins with IFR to MVFR visibilities in smoke and haze. Gradual improvement to VFR is possible as winds arrive with cleaner air. Clusters of showers and thunderstorms make for a complicated forecast. Model guidance being variable, surface obs, satellite and radar can be useful in determining path and location of convection. It appears that the thunderstorm complex to the west may weaken and/or drop southeast this evening as it approaches our TAF sites. Went with VCTS and VCSH while keeping ceilings VFR. Direct impacts to TAF sites including wind gusts and lower ceilings will be contained in amendments as the convection moves closer. More of the same is expected for Friday as additional convection develops in the humid and unstable weather regime. OUTLOOK...Thunderstorms possible at times Friday night through Monday. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. KY...None.
