The episode as NWS ILN wrote it up.
A warm front moved through the Ohio Valley, producing isolated thunderstorms.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Wilmington, OH wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 4, 2:27 PM EST, 3 hours 37 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Wilmington OH 327 PM EDT Tue Jun 4 2024 .SYNOPSIS... A humid and unstable southerly flow ahead of low pressure will bring chances for showers and thunderstorms tonight, with widespread showers and thunderstorms expected on Wednesday when a cold front is forecast to cross the area from the west. Drier weather will accompany high pressure for Thursday and Friday. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/... Humid and unstable conditions are leading to showers forming near the southern border of the ILN FA. These showers and a few thunderstorms should become more numerous through early evening as daytime instability peaks, affecting mainly southern locations. Some storms could produce gusty winds according to HRRR surface gusts, and heavy downpours are likely with any storm. Overnight, showers and storms should diminish with loss of daytime heating. Lows in the mid and upper 60s are expected by 6 am. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... Showers and thunderstorms are forecast become widespread on Wednesday as a cold front pushes in from the west with notable moisture convergence and lift. There will be a low chance for severe wind gusts from some of the storms that will be organized by relatively potent winds aloft, while winds outside of storms gust over 20 mph. Once the front reaches Eastern Ohio Wednesday evening, drier air will work in and bring an end to precip Wednesday night. Clouds and precip should help to limit high temperatures on Wednesday to the upper 70s to mid 80s, with lows dropping the the low and mid 60s Wednesday night. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... On Thursday morning, an upper low will be centered near Lake Superior, expected to drift only very slowly east or southeast over the course of the following day or two. Behind a cold front, there will be deep-layer westerly flow across the Ohio Valley region, bringing a significant drop in dewpoints that will last through the weekend. With the flow remaining generally progressive over the region through the extended forecast period, some lower-end chances for showers and storms look possible for most days. A dry forecast will be used on Thursday, with a chance of showers and storms in the northern CWA on Friday, as an area of forcing associated with the upper low rotates through the region. Slightly greater chances are in the forecast area-wide for Saturday and Sunday, but low-level forcing appears weak, so this may be dependent on transient upper forcing or waves in the flow -- hard to predict at this distance. In addition, CAPE appears rather limited through this period, owing to the lack of boundary layer moisture. The overall pattern will turn a little more active early next week, as another upper low is forecast to move into the area. Still seeing a lot of timing and placement differences with this low, but it may end up leading to greater precipitation chances on Monday and Tuesday. Highs will be near normal on Thursday (upper 70s to lower 80s) before going slightly below normal for the rest of the extended period. && .AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... Aviation will be affected by low pressure and associated moisture and convection. SHRA already popping up early this afternoon may begin to impact CVG ILN and LUK. CVG and LUK could experience TSRA that briefly reduce visibilities. A couple more waves of SHRA could occur at all sites during the overnight hours as forcing increases non-diurnally ahead of the approaching low. MVFR to IFR ceilings are forecast as the lower levels of the atmosphere near saturation. BR may reduce visibility to IFR at LUK. More SHRA and possibly TSRA are expected on Wednesday as the low and a cold front move in. The SHRA along with VCTS could prevail for a few hours in a concentrated band of lift and moisture surrounding the front. Surface winds should gust over 20 knots outside of thunderstorms. OUTLOOK...Thunderstorms possible Wednesday evening. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. KY...None.
