716 FXUS61 KILN 141055 AFDILN AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Wilmington OH 655 AM EDT Sun Jul 14 2024 .SYNOPSIS... An unsettled weather pattern will be in place through the middle of the week. Multiple disturbances will move through and then a cold front will move through Tuesday night into Wednesday. Warm temperatures will also be in place until the passage of the cold front. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 7 PM THIS EVENING/... Patchy fog will be possible this morning. High clouds have started to move in from a complex of storms northwest of the region. There is some uncertainty with convective activity across the region today. Current thinking is that the activity this morning will start to decrease and stay across northern or north of the region. There will then be the potential for additional development this afternoon as a weak disturbance moves through. There is quite a bit of instability this afternoon as well. Storms that develop this afternoon and into the early evening hours will have the potential to produce damaging wind gusts. Since there is greater potential for storm development across northern portions of the region these areas will be slightly cooler than southern portions of the area. Have a special weather statement out for southwestern portions of the region today to account for the potential for heat index values near 100. There is too much convective uncertainty at this time to go with an advisory, however highlight the heat with the HWO and the SPS. && .SHORT TERM /7 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/... While models are showing variable solutions for convective activity during this time, in general have a decreasing trend in convection at the start of the short term. There will then be the potential for additional development of storms overnight as well. Heading into the day on Monday, several models are showing some convective activity especially across northern portions of the region. There will be the potential for severe weather across primarily northern portions of the region for Monday. It is this chance of convective activity that the decision was to hold off on any heat headlines for Monday. There is the potential for a large portion of the region to hit heat advisory criteria on Monday, however given uncertainty in convection decided to hold off on issuing an advisory until there is more agreement in thunderstorm timing and placement. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... The cold front will approach from the northwest through the day on Tuesday. Highs on Tuesday will range from the upper 80s in the northwest to the mid 90s across our southeast with heat indices of 100 degrees or so possible in the afternoon. As we destabilize through the day and the front approaches, expect an increasing chance for showers and thunderstorms through the afternoon, especially across our northwest. There are still some timing differences with the front, but it should slowly sag southeast across our area Tuesday night into Wednesday. With good moisture advection ahead of the front, expect fairly widespread showers and thunderstorms to push slowly south across our area. PWS will climb up in excess of 2 inches along and ahead of the front and with some training possible, there will be the potential for heavy rainfall and localized flooding concerns. Deep layer shear will also slowly increase along and ahead of the front so a few strong to severe storms will also be possible with damaging wind the primary threat. A drier and cooler airmass will settle in behind the front through the remainder of the week. Temperatures will be a few degrees below normal Thursday and Friday with daytime highs in the mid 70s to lower 80s. Temperatures will moderate a bit heading into the weekend with highs on Saturday in the low to mid 80s. && .AVIATION /12Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... Any fog will quickly dissipate this morning. There is still some uncertainty with convective timing and placement, however models have come into a little better agreement with afternoon and early evening convection with a focus across the northern TAF sites KDAY, KCMH, and KLCK. Have a shra and vcts mention in at those TAF sites and then taper it to vcts at the other area TAF sites. Tsra will likely need to be added in some of the TAF sites for this afternoon, however confidence was not high enough to include at this time. There will then be a lull in the precipitation going into the first part of the overnight. There are some indications that there will be additional precipitation late in the overnight hours tonight. At this point only handled this with a vcsh mention. OUTLOOK...Thunderstorms possible at times Monday through Wednesday. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. KY...None. IN...None. && $$ SYNOPSIS... NEAR TERM... SHORT TERM... LONG TERM...JGL AVIATION...
