AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION  
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH  
644 AM EST SAT NOV 9 2024  
   
SYNOPSIS  
 
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION BRINGING INCREASING CLOUDS  
THROUGHOUT THE DAY ON SATURDAY. RAIN SHOWERS ARRIVE TO THE REGION SATURDAY  
LATE NIGHT AND CONTINUE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEKEND. THE AREA  
DRIES OUT FOR THE START OF THE WORK WEEK AND TEMPERATURES REBOUND TO  
SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL.  
 
 
   
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/  
 
HIGH PRESSURE LOCATED OVER THE GREAT LAKES CONTINUES TO DOMINATE  
OUR SENSIBLE WEATHER FOR SATURDAY. THE AREA REMAINS DRY WITH  
HIGH TEMPERATURES REACHING THE UPPER 50S/LOW 60S, RIGHT AROUND  
NORMAL IF NOT SLIGHTLY ABOVE. HOWEVER, THE QUIET WEATHER IS  
SHORT LIVED A 500H CLOSED LOW IN THE PLAINS BEGINS TO OCCLUDE,  
OPEN UP, AND WORKS ITS WAY EAST. CONSEQUENTIALLY, HIGH CLOUDS  
BEGIN TO OVERSPREAD THE REGION DURING SATURDAY AFTERNOON,  
GRADUALLY LOWERING INTO THE EVENING, AND WINDS SHIFT TO OUT OF  
THE EAST/SOUTHEAST. WORTH NOTING THAT RH VALUES WILL DROP TO THE  
LOW 30S EAST OF I-75 IN THE DRY AIR AHEAD OF THE WARM FRONT.  
HOWEVER, AFTERNOON WINDS AREN'T FORECAST TO HAVE INCREASED JUST  
YET, SO NOT ANTICIPATING TOO MANY FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS.  
 
 
   
SHORT TERM /SUNDAY/  
 
THE AREA OF SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL HAVE PROGRESSED  
SOUTHEAST, SETTLING OVER THE ATLANTIC COASTLINE, WHILE THE 500H  
OCCLUDING LOW BARRELS INTO THE OHIO VALLEY. DESPITE THE LOW  
OCCLUDING AND OPENING UP INTO THE LARGER FLOW, ITS SURFACE  
FEATURES WILL STILL LIFT THROUGH THE ILN CWA IN THE FORM OF A  
WARM FRONT, BRIEF WARM SECTOR, THEN COLD FRONT FROM SATURDAY  
NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT.  
 
PRECIPITATION ARRIVES AS EARLY AS SATURDAY EVENING. SOME VERY  
WEAK INSTABILITY MIGHT ALLOW FOR A RUMBLE OF THUNDER,  
PARTICULARLY SOUTH OF THE OHIO RIVER, BUT OTHERWISE SHOULD JUST  
BE RAIN SHOWERS. OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES INTO SUNDAY MORNING  
FALL TO THE MID 50S IN THE SOUTHWEST WHERE THE WARM SECTOR WILL  
BE IN PLACE LONGER AND UPPER 40S NEAR CENTRAL OHIO.  
 
DESPITE THE LOW OCCLUDING AND OPENING UP, THIS WILL STILL  
CREATE A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THE LOW TO THE  
NORTHWEST AND THE HIGH TO THE SOUTHEAST. THIS ACTS TO INTRODUCE  
A STRONG LLJ INTO THE OHIO VALLEY REGION DURING THE OVERNIGHT  
HOURS INTO SUNDAY. AS THIS WIND IS MIXED DOWN WITH PRECIP,  
SURFACE WINDS WILL INCREASE SUNDAY TO 15-20 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 30  
MPH.  
 
BY SUNDAY MORNING, MUCH OF THE AREA SHOULD BE SEEING SOME MUCH  
NEEDED RAIN; TOTAL QPF WILL FALL BETWEEN 0.7-1.0" WITH ISOLATED  
HIGHER AMOUNTS. DESPITE THIS RAINFALL, MUCH OF THE REGION WILL  
STILL BE IN A DEFICIT OF SEVERAL INCHES. WIDESPREAD RAIN MOVES  
OUT SUNDAY LATE MORNING, LEAVING SCATTERED SHOWERS MOVING  
THROUGH DURING SUNDAY AFTERNOON AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. HIGH  
TEMPERATURES ON SUNDAY REACH THE MID 60S, BUT WITH RAIN AND  
WIND, IT WON'T BE A VERY PLEASANT DAY TO BE OUTSIDE.  
 
 
   
LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/  
 
A COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE PROGRESSING EAST OF THE OHIO VALLEY  
ON SUNDAY NIGHT. SHOWER CHANCES COME TO AN END BEHIND THE FRONT  
AND WINDS SHIFT TO THE WEST. HIGH PRESSURE WILL SKIRT BY TO THE  
NORTH OF THE AREA MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT BRINGING COOLER  
TEMPERATURES AND DRY CONDITIONS. DESPITE THE COOL DOWN IN  
TEMPERATURES, READINGS WILL STILL REMAIN WELL ABOVE MID NOVEMBER  
AVERAGES.  
 
THE NEXT CHANCE FOR RAIN DEVELOPS WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY WHEN  
ANOTHER COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA (STILL SOME  
TIMING UNCERTAINTY). A BRIEF SURGE OF WARMER, MORE HUMID AIR IS  
POSSIBLE JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT ON WEDNESDAY BEFORE TEMPERATURES  
DROP ONCE AGAIN. TEMPERATURES MAY FINALLY DROP TO NEAR SEASONAL  
AVERAGES BEHIND THE SECOND FRONT TOWARD THE END OF NEXT WEEK.  
 
 
   
AVIATION /12Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/  
 
QUIET CONDITIONS TO START THE TAF PERIOD AS HIGH PRESSURE  
CONTINUES TO MOVE EAST OVER THE GREAT LAKES. EASTERLY WINDS  
AROUND 10 KNOTS TODAY WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY SHIFT TO OUT OF  
THE SOUTHEAST AND EVENTUALLY OUT OF THE SOUTH BY TONIGHT, AS THE  
HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES EAST AND IS REPLACED BY AN INCOMING LOW.  
 
HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS BEGIN TO SPILL INTO THE REGION FROM THE  
SOUTHWEST THROUGHOUT THE DAY ON SATURDAY, GRADUALLY THICKENING  
AND LOWERING INTO SATURDAY EVENING.  
 
RAIN BEGINS TO OVERSPREAD THE REGION FROM WEST TO EAST SATURDAY  
NIGHT. STILL SOME SPREAD IN THE HI-RES MODELS WITH ISOLATED  
SHOWERS POPPING NEAR WESTERN TAF SITES AS EARLY AS 02Z. SINCE  
SIGNAL FOR THESE ISOLATED SHOWERS ISN'T STRONG, CHOSE TO NOT  
INCLUDE IN TAFS JUST YET. THE BULK OF THE PRECIP SHOULD ARRIVE  
BETWEEN 6-8Z. THERE IS A VERY SLIGHT CHANCE FOR THE ODD RUMBLE  
OF THUNDER, BUT PRIMARILY EXPECTING RAIN SHOWERS. CIGS AND VSBYS  
DROP WITH RAIN ONSET WITH CIGS QUICKLY BECOMING IFR ACROSS THE  
WESTERN TAF SITES NEAR THE END OF THE PERIOD. FOR NOW, HAVE  
DROPPED VSBYS TO MVFR.  
 
WINDS BEGIN TO INCREASE DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS THE SYSTEM  
PUSHES IN. A LOW LEVEL JET IS EXPECTED TO RAMP UP SOMEWHERE  
BETWEEN THE 07-12Z TIME FRAME ON SUNDAY AND SOME OF THESE WINDS  
WILL MIX DOWN TO THE SURFACE. EXPECT SOUTHERLY FLOW 10-12 KNOTS  
DURING EARLY MORNING HOURS WITH HIGHER GUSTS AFTER SUNRISE  
(SHOWN IN EXTENDED CVG TAF). GUIDANCE HINTED AT SOME SPLOTCHY  
LLWS, BUT SIGNAL ISN'T ROBUST, SO DID NOT INCLUDE IT FOR NOW BUT  
MAY BE SOMETHING TO MONITOR.
