871 FXUS61 KILN 101420 AFDILN AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Wilmington OH 1020 AM EDT Wed Jul 10 2024 .SYNOPSIS... The remnants of Tropical System Beryl will migrate northeast into the Great Lakes today, bringing a continued chance for rain, breezy and seasonably cool conditions. High pressure will offer mainly dry conditions through the end of the week. Humidity will quickly return to the region by the end of the week into the upcoming weekend, with more pronounced rain chances returning by early next week. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... The remnants of Beryl have transitioned to a ~1003mb extratropical low that is progressing to the E through the nrn OH Vly today. Within this broad/strong cyclonic flow, shallow yet sufficient moisture has led to patches of light SHRA/sprinkles/drizzle that continue to pivot around the low center, providing on-and-off very light RA to many spots near/N of the OH Rvr through at least early afternoon. By later in the day, as the low pulls a bit further E, the best wraparound moisture and best chances for lingering very light RA will also drift E, focusing more in central OH near/N of I-70 by early evening. The main story for today will be the unseasonably breezy/gusty conditions, owing to a relatively tight pressure gradient positioned across the area. SW winds of 20-25 MPH, with gusts 35-40 MPH, are expected through mid afternoon before going more westerly and northwesterly into early evening on the backside of the departing low. With extensive cloud cover lingering through at least mid afternoon, temperatures today will be considerably cooler - ranging from the lower 70s northwest to the mid/upper 70s in the southeast. Some clearing is expected late in the day across the Tri-State and EC/SE IN. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/... Mid level shortwave to lift northeast with weak surface ridge building into the area overnight into Thursday. Pressure gradient will relax with northwest winds subsiding to 10 mph or less overnight. As the surface high builds into the area clouds to scatter out from the southwest tonight with skies becoming mostly clear. Lows tonight drop to readings ranging from the upper 50s to the lower 60s. Southwest mid level flow over the area as trof develops to our west. Surface high pressure building across the area keeps the region dry. Highs on Thursday to range between 80 and 85. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/... A broad area of high pressure will build into the region for the end of the week into the start of next week. Upper level flow will be fairly zonal which could allow for embedded shortwaves to move across the Ohio Valley. Although southerly flow redevelops by the weekend bringing back heat and humidity, instability does not return until Sunday or Monday. With lack of instability, dry conditions are in the forecast until Sunday. For Sunday into the start of the next week, increased diurnal rain chances accompany the heat and humidity. There still remains some forecast uncertainty surrounding the dry weather since embedded shortwaves could briefly increase rain chances during the extended period. && .AVIATION /14Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... Remnants of Beryl in the form of low pressure located over Northern Indiana to continue ejecting northeast into the Great Lakes today. Showers with embedded thunderstorms accompanying a southward trailing cold front have pushed east of the TAF sites early this morning. Cyclonic flow persists across the area with mid level shortwave and hang back surface trof pivoting thru the area today. This will lead to additional showers with the best coverage across the northern TAF sites. Ceilings to drop thru the MVFR category with a period of IFR ceilings possible during the late morning into the afternoon. As weak high pressure builds in tonight skies will improve with clouds scattering out late in the day into this evening. Winds will pick up substantially today veering from the southwest to the west with gusts up to 30 knots possible through the afternoon hours. Winds will subside this evening to less than 10 kts overnight. OUTLOOK...No Significant weather expected. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. KY...None.
