AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
1014 AM EDT SUN JUN 8 2025
SYNOPSIS
A SLOW MOVING FRONT WILL MEANDER ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH TODAY,
PROVIDING A CONTINUED CHANCE OF ISOLATED SHOWERS AND STORMS THROUGH
THE DAYTIME. A STRONGER FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE REGION ON MONDAY,
PROVIDING RENEWED CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS ONCE AGAIN,
PARTICULARLY DURING THE AFTERNOON. SEASONABLY WARM AND HUMID
CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL UNTIL SOME DRIER AIR RETURNS IN THE WAKE OF
THE FRONT BY TUESDAY. DRIER CONDITIONS SHOULD PERSIST THROUGH
THURSDAY BEFORE A SEASONABLY WARM AND HUMID AIRMASS RETURNS LATE IN
THE WEEK, BRINGING RENEWED CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS.
NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/
MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE TO MOVE THRU THE AREA THIS AFTN. ASSOCIATED
WEAK SURFACE LOW OVER SOUTHERN OHIO TO TRACK EAST OF THE AREA BY LATE
AFTN. SATURATED AIRMASS WITH LOW END MODERATE INSTABILITY DEVELOPING
EAST OF THE LOW TODAY. EXPECT CONTINUED CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT WITH
THE BEST COVERAGE ACROSS ILN/S EASTERN COUNTIES. MOIST ENVIRONMENT
AND RELATIVELY SLOW STORM MOTIONS WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE A CHANCE
FOR ISOLATED HEAVY RAIN. SOIL IS ALSO SATURATED - ESPECIALLY ACROSS
THE SRN HALF OF THE AREA DUE TO RAIN THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS...SO
LOCALIZED FLOODING WILL BE POSSIBLE.
A GENERAL DECREASE AND DRYING TREND WILL EVOLVE LATE IN THE DAY FROM
WEST TO EAST WITH INCREASING SUNSHINE EXPECTED TO RETURN BY LATE
AFTERNOON.
HIGHS TEMPERATURES WILL TOP OUT IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S.
SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/
THE BEGINNING OF THE SHORT TERM PERIOD WILL START OFF ON A QUIETER
NOTE AS THE INITIAL SYSTEM DEPARTS TO THE E AND THE OTHER APPROACHES
TOWARD DAYBREAK MONDAY AND BEYOND. COULD SEE THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME
PATCHY FOG DEVELOPMENT TONIGHT INTO EARLY MONDAY GIVEN THE RELATIVELY
CLEAR SKIES (THROUGH THE PREDAWN HOURS) AND LIGHT SFC FLOW. HOWEVER,
CLOUD COVER AND PCPN CHANCES WILL RETURN FROM THE W TOWARD SUNRISE
AND BEYOND. LOWS TONIGHT DIP INTO THE LOWER TO MID 60S.
YET ANOTHER SYSTEM WILL BRING SHRA, WITH ISO EMBEDDED TSRA, TO THE
AREA AGAIN DURING THE DAYTIME MONDAY. THIS ONE, HOWEVER, IS OF A
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STRUCTURE/SETUP THAN WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DEALING
WITH ON-AND-OFF FOR THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS. AN ANAMOLOUSLY-DEEP AND
STACKED LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL DRIFT TO THE SE FROM THE UPPER
MIDWEST INTO THE OH VLY AND GREAT LAKES REGIONS INTO THE DAY MONDAY.
THIS WILL RESULT IN AN ABRUPT INCREASE IN DEEP-LAYER FLOW FIELDS AND
FORCING, ALLOWING FOR A NARROW NE-TO-SW BAND OF SHRA, WITH EMBEDDED
TSRA, TO MOVE TO THE E THROUGH THE LOCAL AREA THROUGH MID AFTERNOON.
THE BEST CHANCE FOR SOME DIURNALLY-DRIVEN DESTABILIZATION TO BE
REALIZED ON MONDAY IS GOING TO BE NEAR/E OF I-71, SO THIS IS WHERE
THE BEST CHANCE FOR TSRA, AND PERHAPS A VERY ISO/LOW-END SEVERE
CHANCE, IS EXPECTED TO FOCUS. DO THINK THAT A FEW INSTANCES OF GUSTY
WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE AS THIS ACTIVITY MOVES THROUGH PARTS OF NE KY
AND THE LOWER SCIOTO VALLEY AND CENTRAL OH BY MID AFTERNOON, BUT THE
OVERALL POTENTIAL FOR /SEVERE/ STORMS APPEARS TO BE FAIRLY LOW AT
THIS JUNCTURE.
SHRA/TSRA WILL QUICKLY END FROM W TO E BY LATE AFTERNOON, WITH DRIER
AIR FILTERING IN FROM THE W INTO MONDAY EVENING. HIGHS ON MONDAY
WILL HEAVY INFLUENCED BY THE LARGE SHIELD OF CLOUDS AND PCPN MOVING
THROUGH THE AREA DURING THE HEART OF THE DAYTIME, WITH TEMPS
GENERALLY TOPPING OUT IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S (WARMEST CONDITIONS
FAVORED IN NE KY AND THE LOWER SCIOTO VALLEY BY EARLY AFTERNOON
BEFORE ARRIVAL OF SHRA/TSRA BY MIDDAY).
LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/
A CUTOFF UPPER LOW IN THE GREAT LAKES REGION WILL MOVE EAST
OVERNIGHT MONDAY. WESTERLY UPPER FLOW DURING THE DAY TAKES A
NORTHWEST TURN TUES NIGHT, AND CONTINUES THROUGH WEDNESDAY BEFORE
SHIFTING BACK TO THE WEST BEFORE DAYBREAK THURSDAY. ON THURS NIGHT
AND FRI, A DEVELOPING LOW IN THE PLAINS SLOWLY MOVES INTO THE
MIDWEST BY SATURDAY. DURING THIS TIME, THE LOW IS EAST OF A MEAN
RIDGE AXIS WHICH IS KEEPING IT FROM DEEPENING. ON SUNDAY, THE WEAK
LOW/OPEN WAVE WILL BE IN THE WESTERN OHIO VALLEY.
A SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL HAVE CROSSED THE CWA BY MONDAY EVENING AND
CONTINUE EXITING EAST, WITH COOL AND DRY AIR FOLLOWING IT. THE
COOLEST PERIOD IN THE FORECAST IS FROM MON NIGHT THROUGH TUES NIGHT
WHERE OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE UPPER 50S AND DAYTIME HIGHS IN THE MID
70S. AFTER THIS TIME, UPPER HEIGHTS WILL BUILD THROUGH FRIDAY. A
SURFACE HIGH OVER THE AREA WILL BEGIN TO EXIT OVERNIGHT THURSDAY.
THIS IS WHERE MODELS DIVERGE QUITE A BIT, DOWNSTREAM OF THE
WEAKENING UPPER LOW IN THE PLAINS AND IN THE MEAN SW FLOW BEHIND THE
DEPARTING SURFACE HIGH. GFS DEVELOPS A WARM FRONT IN SRN MI FOR
EARLY FRI AND BRINGS IN PRECIP BEGINNING LATE THURS, CONTINUING
THROUGH FRI NIGHT. EUROPEAN HINTS AT A SFC BOUNDARY BUT IS BEGINNING
PRECIP WITH THE FRONTOGENESIS EARLY SAT WHEREAS GFS IS EXITING THE
FRONT AND FOLLOWING IT WITH DRY AIR. THE EURO HAS SOME BUY-IN FROM
THE CANADIAN BUT THE CANADIAN IS OVERDONE WITH VOLUME AND
PERSISTENCE OF PRECIP OVER THE CWA SATURDAY.
PRECIP FIELDS AT THIS TIME AND GENERAL PATTERN DIVERGE BY THE END OF
THE WEEK. HOWEVER, TEMPERATURES LOOK TO HAVE A FAIR AGREEMENT THAT
THEY MAX OUT THU/FRI IN THE MID 80S WITH WEEKEND HIGHS TOPPING OUT
WITHIN A FEW DEGREES OF 80. WITH THE BLANKETING CLOUD COVER AND SLY
FLOW, OVERNIGHT LOWS FRI NIGHT ONLY DROP TO THE UPPER 60S, PUNCTUATED
ON EITHER END BY SLIGHTLY COOLER MID 60S THU AND SAT NIGHTS.
AVIATION /14Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/
THE FAIRLY COHESIVE BAND OF SHRA, WITH ISO EMBEDDED TSRA, CONTINUES
TO DRIFT TO THE NE, WITH A DECREASE IN COVERAGE OF ACTIVITY EXPECTED
LOCALLY EARLY IN THE TAF PERIOD. THIS BEING SAID, WITH THE SFC LOW
STILL DRIFTING E THROUGH THE REGION, DO THINK THAT ISO SHRA WILL
PERSIST AT TIMES, SO CONDITIONS MAY NOT TREND DRIER AS A WHOLE UNTIL
VERY LATE IN THE DAYTIME.
IN GENERAL, VSBYS SHOULD PREVAIL AT MVFR FOR A BIT BEFORE RETURNING
TO VFR BETWEEN THROUGH 14Z-15Z. CIGS WILL ALSO TRANSITION FROM
BORDERLINE MVFR/IFR BACK TO VFR PROGRESSIVELY FROM 15Z-18Z.
A FEW ISO SHRA WILL LINGER ABOUT THE AREA THROUGH THE AFTERNOON,
PARTICULARLY NEAR KILN/KCVG/KLUK, BEFORE DRIER CONDITIONS RETURN
AREA-WIDE TOWARD 00Z AND BEYOND. CIGS WILL SCATTER OUT LATE IN THE
DAY, TOO, WITH MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES EXPECTED FROM 00Z THROUGH 06Z. SOME
CLOUD COVER WILL OVERSPREAD THE AREA ONCE AGAIN FROM THE NW TOWARD
12Z MONDAY, BUT LATEST GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT SHRA SHOULD HOLD OFF AT
THE SITES UNTIL AFTER 12Z.
WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE LIGHT/VRB THROUGH THE MORNING AS THE SFC LOW
DRIFTS THROUGH THE AREA. ON THE BACKSIDE, BY LATE IN THE DAY, WNW
WINDS OF 12-15KTS, WITH GUSTS TO AROUND 20KTS, WILL BE POSSIBLE,
PARTICULARLY FOR WRN SITES OF KCVG/KLUK/KILN/KDAY WHERE THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT AND MIXING WILL BE MAXIMIZED. WINDS SUBSIDE AGAIN PAST 00Z,
GOING OUT OF THE W AT AROUND 5KTS BEFORE SHIFTING OUT OF THE SW
DURING THE PREDAWN HOURS.
OUTLOOK...SOME STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE AGAIN MONDAY, MAINLY FOR
KILN/KCMH/KLCK. MVFR CIGS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE MONDAY AS WELL.
