AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Wilmington OH 803 PM EDT Mon Jul 29 2024 .SYNOPSIS... An active weather pattern is in store for the region through the week, potentially continuing into the upcoming weekend. Several episodes of showers and storms are expected through this active and unsettled regime. Seasonably warm and humid conditions will prevail through the week as well. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/... Scattered showers thunderstorms have developed in the moderately unstable airmass across the area this afternoon. The best coverage of storms thru afternoon will continue across the Scioto River Valley closer to the mid level shortwave trof axis. The focus shifts to developing storms over west central Indiana- where storms were developing in a region of warm/moist ascent. A mid level vorticity maximum forecast to move thru the Great Lakes region will aid the development of a 30-35kt low level jet. This will lead to an increase in storm coverage as they track east southeast developing into an MCS. CAM solutions indicate that this convective complex will have its greatest impact over ILN/s southwest counties between 00Z and 06Z. With PWATs near 2 inches and the potential for a longer duration event - the main threat looks to be heavy rain and localized flooding. Strong to damaging winds will also be possible. Low pressure tracks thru the Great Lakes with a southward attendant warm front pushing thru the Ohio Valley. This allows the low level winds to back which increases the low level shear values. This increase in low level shear supports the potential for a tornado over the southwest later this evening. As the complex shifts east - low clouds are expected to overspread the entire CWA. In the muggy/humid airmass low temperatures to range from the upper 60s to the lower 70s. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... Northwest flow aloft with surface low tracking east thru the southern Great Lakes Tuesday. The storm activity will decrease from NW to SE early Tuesday as the low shifts. A few afternoon showers and thunderstorms will be possible over over central Ohio - otherwise the area is expected to be dry. With the passage of a cold front winds will shift to the west- northwest and clouds will decrease by afternoon. Highs on Tuesday will range from 85 northeast to around 90 over the southwest. A brief dry period into Tuesday early evening before additional storms round the ridge potentially affecting our southwest counties overnight. Mild lows to range from the upper 60s to the lower 70s. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... On Wednesday morning, broad mid-level troughing will be in place across New York and into the mid-Atlantic region. Ridging will be in place in the southern plains and lower Mississippi Valley region. In between these features, a general northwest flow pattern will be in place through the Ohio Valley. This is expected to persist for a day or two, before a more well-defined trough moves into the Great Lakes area on Friday into Saturday. At the surface, very warm and moist air will be in place, with dewpoints well into the 70s and precipitable water values approaching two inches. The air mass will begin to change on Friday, continuing to become slightly cooler and drier through the weekend. Convection and heat remain the two primary issues to address through the extended forecast period. To begin with heat, it looks like Wednesday and Thursday will be the warmest days of the forecast period. Due to the influence of the ridge to the southwest, heights will be highest over the Ohio Valley on Wednesday and Thursday. This may result in some capping (reducing but not eliminating thunderstorm chances) as well as a greater potential for heat. With dewpoints well into the 70s, heat indices above 100 degrees appear likely for at least a portion of the forecast area. Confidence in this remains medium at most, since the potential exists for storms to disrupt peak heating for at least part of the area. The convective forecast for Wednesday and Thursday is one that would support low-confidence forward-propagating MCS development. Some models are suggesting an MCS may exist at 12Z Wednesday somewhere near the ILN forecast area -- though favored perhaps just to the southwest. Additional development is possible, if the cap can break, by Wednesday afternoon or evening. If storms are able to develop in this very unstable air mass, damaging winds would certainly be a threat. This potential could continue into Thursday, but again, confidence is low in any specifics. By Thursday night into Friday, as a trough moves into the Great Lakes, the overall pattern will become more favorable for forcing. It is unclear if this will result in a greater severe weather potential or not, since instability will be diminishing somewhat as the air mass begins to change. Chances for convection will diminish even further over the weekend, as the trough moves off to the east. Dry conditions currently appear likely behind the trough axis, mainly for Sunday and Monday. && .AVIATION /00Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... Complex of storms developing across Indiana expected to move east and south this evening into the middle of the night. Best coverage will be across KDAY/KCVG/KLUK. A bit more uncertainty at KILN, with KCMH/KLCK likely remaining east of this complex (although these terminals may still observe an isolated shower/storm). Tried to modify times in the TEMPO group to highlight most favorable timing for thunderstorms. Heavy showers will likely produce IFR vsbys, but CIG reductions are a bit more uncertain with the showers. Enhancements in surface winds certainly possible depending on structure/organization of the storm complex, so will have to monitor and make any amendments as needed. After the showers end, CIG reductions become more favorable. Widespread MVFR expected, with increasing confidence in IFR for most terminals by early Tuesday morning. CIG improvements then expected by mid to late morning on Tuesday. Winds shift tonight from the south to the southwest overnight, eventually becoming more westerly Tuesday afternoon. OUTLOOK...Thunderstorms are possible Tuesday night through Friday. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. KY...None.
