AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wilmington OH
201 PM EDT Mon Jun 17 2024
.SYNOPSIS...
Hot and humid air mass settles into the Ohio Valley. While heat
is the primary concern, a few storms are possible Monday
afternoon and evening. Limited chances for rain exist on
Tuesday, with drier conditions favored the remainder of the
week. A subtle drop in humidity expected the latter half of the
work week, but hot conditions will persist.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
There is reasonable confidence today that a majority of our
counties will reach or exceed 100 degree heat indicies, which is
standard criteria for a Heat Advisory. These values could be
met as early as 1-2PM.
While thunderstorm potential remains high, it is expected that
coverage would be scattered over the CWA. Initiation would be
triggered by temperatures in the 90-92 range and occur where h5
s/w and vorticity maxima occur. Placement dependent on h5
conditions is sketchy given the high variability from one model
to another. It appears models are bullish on the potential from
Dayton northward and westward within the CWA.
Previous discussion:
As for storm potential, there are plenty of CAMs that still
want to initiate convection later this afternoon, with coverage
increasing into the early evening. No large scale forcing or
frontal boundary will help with timing and tracking storm
activity... this is more of your typical single cell (popcorn)
thunderstorms that we observe during the summertime. Shear
profiles will be quite unfavorable for any long-lived or multi-
cell thunderstorm development. Thermodynamics on the other hand
are quite alarming, with SBCAPE values near or exceeding 2000
J/kg, DCAPE values near or exceeding 1000 J/kg, along with steep
0-3km lapse rates. Any storms that do initialize could produce
strong downbursts, with perhaps some hail if the storms can grow
tall enough before collapsing.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
Storm coverage expected to wane through the late evening and
early overnight hours with the loss of diurnal heating. A slight
uptick in overnight lows will occur Monday night as everyone in
our fa is expected to observe low temps in the low to mid 70s.
Heat Advisory continues through the period on Tuesday as another
hot and muggy day will be in store. Heat indicies are once again
expected to peak near or just over 100 degrees. The area of
high pressure continues to expand westward. As this does, precip
chances will lower across our counties. However, still cannot
rule out a stray shower or storm developing on Tuesday - mainly
along/NW of I-71.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
Upper ridge will become more expansive and reach its maximum
strength and extent in the middle of the week. It will then very
slowly start shifting south and become a little less intense later
in the week. The pattern will then change over the weekend as a
trough emerges out of the Canadian Rockies and strengthens as it
heads into the Great Lakes squelching the ridge entirely.
Heat will build with highs reaching the mid 90s by Thursday and
Friday. However, relatively drier low level air will get into the
region on southeasterly flow allowing dew points to not be as high
when temperatures are a few degrees warmer than previous days. This
results in little change in maximum heat indices from day to day,
generally peaking between 95 and 100 Wednesday through Saturday.
Although this falls short of the criteria of 100 for a heat
advisory, this is a longer duration event with cumulative effects
that could be hazardous to the public. Thus the time period
previously covered by the excessive heat watch is now a heat
advisory. There is the potential that at some point down the line
the advisory will have to be extended into Saturday.
A cold front will be approaching the area on Sunday and this will
bring the net appreciable chance of showers and thunderstorms.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Scattered convection is initiating over the CWA attm and should
impact all terminals with exception of CVG/LUK over the next two
hours, at least in a VCTS capacity. Conditions will remain VFR
with a 5-6kft cloud base and 100-120kft elevated mixed layer
that will also be noticeable downstream from any activity this
afternoon.
CVG/LUK will be put back in the equation in short order this
afternoon as upstream cu field over nrn KY is showing
redevelopment in the air that has not been worked over. Notable
increase in the lower 4-5kft deck from vis satellite north and
northeast of metro Cincy and another s and se of Dayton looks to
be the indication of the mixed lower level air being lifted to
form today's showers and storms. Attm, little lightning is noted
between ILN and DAY, but increased activity for both
shower/storms and lightning is expected through the early
evening hours.
Tomorrow shows a similar setup with slightly less activity noted
in the bulk of the models. Did not include any mention as there
is not any particular site that has either an increased or a
decreased threat at this moment in time to be able to reliably
produce a better forecast.
Winds will remain at or below 10 kts out of the south-southwest
through the taf period. Tomorrow's sky/wind does not look to be
unsimilar than overnight forecast once convective activity
ends, so no additional FM groups were appended.
Expect KLUK potential for some BR and reduced vsbys towards
daybreak will lessen with future forecasts given a larger
forecast dewpoint depression.
OUTLOOK...No significant weather expected.
