AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Wilmington OH 331 PM EDT Sat Aug 31 2024 .SYNOPSIS... Scattered showers and storms are expected into this evening ahead of a slow moving cold front. Drier conditions will filter into the region overnight into Sunday. High pressure will build across the Great Lakes for the first part of the week offering dry and seasonably mild conditions. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/... Mid level flow to amplify as trof settles south from Canada into the Great Lakes/Ohio Valley overnight into Sunday. A lead shortwave to track east thru the region - which will allow a sfc cold front that is pushing into western Ohio - to sag slowly southeast and weaken as into pushes into the Ohio Valley this evening. Thunderstorms will increase in coverage in moderately unstable airmass ahead of this front, with the best coverage south of the I-71 corridor. PWATs around 2 inches will be observed ahead of this front. Forcing and saturated nature of the profile, along with moderate instby and weak deep-layer shear (0-6KM effective shear around 20kts), will be enough to promote the development of numerous thunderstorms over the southeast. DCAPE values are marginally favorable for the potential for strong winds over South Central Ohio and Northeast KY into early evening. Given the very moist environment - heavy down pours and localized flooding will be possible. Storm activity will decrease in coverage and intensity this evening. Drier conditions to filter in from the northwest overnight in the wake of the front. Expect stratus/cloud cover to develop in the post frontal environment. Low temperatures overnight to range from the upper 50s northwest to the upper 60s southeast. Northwest mid and upper level flow with surface high pressure building into the Great Lakes Sunday night. Skies will become mostly clear with lows from the lower 50s north to the lower 60s south. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/... Mid level flow to amplify with a mean trof settling s-se from southern Canada into the Great Lakes/New England. Skies will improve from north to south early Sunday. A secondary front will move in from the north during the afternoon, offering a chance of a few showers across the north-northeast counties. Highs will range from the lower 80s north to the upper 80s south of the Ohio River on Sunday. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... A cool, dry surface high will build into the middle Ohio Valley Monday and will continue to provide dry conditions and low relative humidity through mid-week. The surface high will push off to the east Thursday which will allow a bit of return flow. Some guidance has some isentropic lift by late Thursday with a chance of showers. For Friday, another mid-level trough brings a cold front into the region with storms along and ahead of it. Another dry high pressure will likely follow the front heading into next weekend. && .AVIATION /19Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... Scattered showers and thunderstorms to increase in coverage ahead of a slow morning cold front this aftn into early evening. The front pushes thru the TAF/s and continues to weaken this evening with conditions. VFR conditions prevail outside of showers/thunderstorms this afternoon with MVFR CIGs/VSBYs developing in the wake of the front overnight. Clouds and vsbys to improve to VFR early Sunday as northwest winds advect drier air into the region. Westerly winds at 5-10kts will become light and variable this evening and then northwesterly toward 12z Sunday. OUTLOOK...No significant weather expected. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
