276 FXUS61 KILN 100545 AFDILN AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Wilmington OH 145 AM EDT Wed Jul 10 2024 .SYNOPSIS... The remnants of Tropical System Beryl will migrate northeast through the Ohio Valley through Wednesday, bringing rain and storms through early tonight, followed by breezy and seasonably cool conditions during the day Wednesday. Warmer and more humid air 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 AM THIS MORNING/... Mid level shortwave to eject northeast from from the lower Ohio River Valley into the Great Lakes overnight into Wednesday morning. Surface low pressure to track northeast to a position over NE Indiana by morning. A southerly low level jet of 45-50 kts was feeding storm development with an axis of instability approaching 1000 J/KG over ILN/s sw counties a ahead of approaching cold front. A window continues of overlap of instby and favorable shear over ILN/s southwest with sig. tornado parameter at 1+ for the next couple of hours - with the threat diminishing as we head into the overnight hours. Int he past hour a discrete storm over Butler has shown some of the best structure all night. Therefore - with this wedge of instability into the Tri-state region will locally extend the tornado watch until 06Z. With tropical airmass over the area and PWATs around 2 inches - torrential rainfall rates will be possible with any of the activity through early tonight. The storms are moving but heavy rain may lead to local flash flooding. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/... As the sfc low migrates into NW OH Wednesday during the daytime, an unseasonably-strong pressure gradient will set up on the ern/srn/wrn flank of the low center, promoting a very unusual breezy and "cool" July day for the local area. There are some indications for ample cloud cover to linger through most of the afternoon, which admittedly could keep deeper mixing in-check just a bit. This being said, there is high confidence in SW/W gusts on the order of 30-35kts Wednesday afternoon especially near/W of I-75 on the backside of the low center late in the day. As the winds go more out of the WNW by 20z, the best potential for a brief window of gusts close to 40kts may evolve in EC IN and WC OH and the Miami Valley between about 20z-22z before the low begins to pull E and the gradient relaxes into the mid/late evening and beyond. Temperatures on Wednesday will be considerably cooler - ranging from the lower/mid 70s northwest to the upper 70s in the southeast. Lows in the lower to mid 60s are expected Wednesday night as skies very slowly clear from W to E toward Thursday morning. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/... A large area of high pressure building in behind the remnants of Beryl will bring dry weather from Thursday through Saturday. Increasing instability combined with a mid-level disturbance may allow a few showers and thunderstorms on Sunday afternoon. Mainly afternoon showers and storms will be possible on Monday and Tuesday under continued instability and mid-level short wave support. A westerly flow aloft may support MCS development so this will bear watching. Expect temperatures a few degrees below normal to start the period, with highs in the low and mid 80s on Thursday. A warming trend is indicated for the rest of the long term under insolation and warm advection, with highs reaching the 90s in many locations, while isolated spots could see apparent temps around 100. && .AVIATION /06Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... Remnants of Beryl in the form of low pressure located over Central Indiana to continue ejecting northeast into the Great Lakes today. Showers with embedded thunderstorms will accompany a southward trailing cold front that sweeps east across the area early this morning. Southeast winds will shift to the southwest and gust up to 30 kts with this frontal passage. 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 the frontal passage. A period of IFR ceilings is possible during the late morning into the afternoon. Winds will pick up substantially today veering from the southwest to the west with gusts up to 30 knots possible through the afternoon hours. As weak high pressure builds in tonight winds begin to decrease around sunset and skies will improve with clouds scattering out OUTLOOK...No Significant weather expected. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
