NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH

SYNOPSIS
 
 
LOW PRESSURE TRACKING THROUGH THE REGION WILL BRING RAIN  
TONIGHT AND CONTINUE THROUGH SUNDAY. THE AREA DRIES OUT FOR THE  
FIRST PART OF THE WORK WEEK AS A LARGE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE  
BUILDS ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES. THE NEXT THREAT FOR RAIN ARRIVES  
WEDNESDAY WITH THE APPROACH OF A FRONTAL SYSTEM.  
 

 
   
NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/
 
 
FOR THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD, A DECENT MID LEVEL LOW PRESSURE  
SYSTEM WILL MOVE EAST FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS TO THE UPPER/MID  
MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY. AS IT DOES, MOISTURE WILL BE  
TRANSPORTED NORTH AND NORTHEAST WITH AN ASSOCIATED WARM FRONT.  
BROAD SCALE WARM, MOIST ASCENT WILL ALLOW SHOWERS TO INCREASE IN  
COVERAGE FROM THE SOUTHWEST. THERE COULD BE A RUMBLE OF  
THUNDER. WINDS WILL VEER FROM EAST TO SOUTH AND WILL INCREASE  
AND BECOME GUSTY TOWARD MORNING. LOWS WILL OCCUR THROUGH EARLY  
MORNING (UPPER 40S TO THE LOWER/MID 50S) THEN REMAIN STEADY OR  
SLOWLY RISE LATE.  
 

 
   
SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/
 
 
MID LEVEL LOW OVER THE UPPER MS VALLEY TO OPEN UP/WEAKEN AS IT  
TRACKS ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES SUNDAY/SUNDAY NIGHT. THE REGION  
LOOKS TO BE A WARM SECTOR WITH A 45-50 KT SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL  
JET OFFERING FAVORABLE MOISTURE TRANSPORT SUNDAY MORNING.  
WIDESPREAD RAIN IN THE MORNING TO DECREASE IN COVERAGE SOME AS  
THE LOW LEVEL JET PIVOTS EAST. ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND PERHAPS  
EMBEDDED THUNDER WILL CONTINUE UNTIL AN ASSOCIATED SURFACE COLD  
FRONT PUSHES EAST ACROSS THE AREA LATE IN THE DAY THRU SUNDAY  
EVENING. HIGHS TO GENERALLY RANGE FROM 60 TO 65.  
 
THE GRADIENT INCREASES WITH SOUTH WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH WITH  
GUSTS UP TO 30 MPH POSSIBLE AT TIMES. STORM TOTAL RAINFALL THRU  
SUNDAY EVENING TO RANGE FROM 0.5 INCHES NORTHWEST TO 1 TO 1.5  
INCHES GENERALLY ALONG AND SOUTHEAST OF I-71.  
 
RAIN TO END SUNDAY EVENING AS THE FRONT PUSHES OFF TO THE EAST  
AND CLOUDS DECREASE. LOWS TO RANGE FROM THE LOWER 40S TO THE  
UPPER 40S.  
 

 
   
LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/
 
 
DRY CONDITIONS ARE GENERALLY EXPECTED MONDAY THROUGH THE  
DAYTIME HOURS ON WEDNESDAY. THERE IS A WEAK BOUNDARY THAT MOVES  
THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT, HOWEVER MOISTURE IS LIMITED AND THEREFORE  
JUST HAVE AN INCREASE IN CLOUDS AS IT MOVES THROUGH AND THEN ON  
TUESDAY WITH CAA AS WELL.  
 
SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO WARM FROM THE 30S AT  
THE START OF THE DAY TO THE 50S AND 60S ON WEDNESDAY. IN SOME  
AREAS TEMPERATURES WILL RISE AFTER DARK WEDNESDAY EVENING AS  
WARM AIR CONTINUES TO MOVE INTO THE REGION IN ADVANCE OF THE  
COLD FRONT. THE COLD FRONT WILL WORK THROUGH LATE WEDNESDAY  
NIGHT INTO THURSDAY. RAIN WILL START TO MOVE INTO THE REGION  
AFTER DARK WEDNESDAY EVENING AND THEN RESIDUAL SHOWER ACTIVITY  
WILL BE AROUND FOR THURSDAY WITH THE UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE.  
 
DRY CONDITIONS WILL WORK BACK INTO THE AREA FOR THURSDAY NIGHT.  
THERE IS MORE UNCERTAINTY TOWARDS THE END OF THE LONG TERM WITH  
TIMING OF A SYSTEM AND ALSO WITH TEMPERATURES. WENT CLOSER TO  
THE BLEND FOR THIS TIME PERIOD DUE TO SOME OF THE UNCERTAINTIES  
AND RANGE OF SOLUTIONS.  
 

 
   
AVIATION /06Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/
 
 
ALL SITES CURRENTLY VFR BUT CONDITIONS WILL SOON DETERIORATE  
THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH  
THE REGION. LOTS TO TALK ABOUT SO BROKE IT DOWN BY CATEGORY  
BELOW...  
 
PRECIP: RECENT RADAR REFLECTIVITY INDICATES SCATTERED LIGHT  
RAIN SHOWERS FALLING OUT OF A MID-DECK MOVING THROUGH THE  
COVERAGE AREA. THE EXPECTATION IS THAT THESE WILL BECOME MORE  
WIDESPREAD AS THE NIGHT CONTINUES. MODERATE INTENSITY WIDESPREAD  
RAIN CONTINUES THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING HOURS BEFORE BECOMING  
MORE SCATTERED IN NATURE BY AFTERNOON. THERE IS A VERY SLIGHT  
CHANCE FOR THE ODD RUMBLE OF THUNDER, BUT PRIMARILY EXPECTING  
SHOWERS SO DID NOT INCLUDE ANY TS IN TAFS. RAIN TAPERS OFF LATE  
AFTERNOON AS THE COLD FRONT PUSHES THROUGH AND WE DRY OUT FOR  
THE EVENING HOURS.  
 
CIGS/VSBYS: CURRENT VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO DETERIORATE  
AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. AS PRECIPITATION  
COVERAGE BECOMES MORE WIDESPREAD, EXPECTING VSBYS TO DROP WITH  
ONGOING PRECIP. RIGHT NOW, HAVE KEPT VSBYS ABOVE 2SM, BUT WOULD  
NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE SOME LOWERED POCKETS. WILL BE SOMETHING  
TO MONITOR. CIGS CURRENTLY AROUND 100K FT WILL QUICKLY FALL TO  
MVFR THEN IFR BY EARLY MORNING HOURS. MUCH OF THE AREA REMAINS  
IFR DURING THE DAY ON SUNDAY, WITH POCKETS OF LIFR POSSIBLE. AS  
THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING, WE'LL EXPERIENCE AN  
ABRUPT CLEARING AS POST-FRONTAL SUBSIDENCE PROCESSES TAKE OVER.  
HOWEVER, EXPECT SOME LOW LEVEL SCATTERED COLD AIR ADVECTION CU  
IN THE POST-FRONTAL REGIME. COULD POSSIBLY BE BKN AT TIMES.  
 
WINDS: WINDS WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS  
TONIGHT AS A LOW LEVEL JET STARTS TO RAMP UP BETWEEN 07-12Z AND  
SOME OF THESE WINDS WILL MIX DOWN. THERE HAS BEEN A CONSISTENT  
PATCHY SIGNAL FOR LLWS, PARTICULARLY FOR KDAY DURING SUNDAY  
EARLY MORNING HOURS. WENT AHEAD AND ADDED IN A BRIEF PERIOD OF  
LLWS FOR THIS SITE FROM 11-13Z. FOR REMAINING SITES, BEGIN TO  
INTRODUCE GUSTS AS EARLY AS 12Z AND GUSTY CONDITIONS WILL  
CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON, WITH SUSTAINED SOUTHWESTERLY  
WINDS AROUND 12-15 KNOTS, GUSTING TO 25 KNOTS. AS THE COLD FRONT  
MOVES THROUGH DURING THE EVENING HOURS, WINDS WILL ABRUPTLY  
SHIFT TO OUT OF THE WEST AND GUSTS WILL DECREASE.  
 
OUTLOOK...MVFR/IFR CEILINGS TO LINGER INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. MVFR  
CONDITIONS POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY.
