10/6/2018 Colors of tide XTide graphs changed to emphasize that they were upgraded. See next note. Comments welcome. 10/4/2018 I have fixed XTide and updated the harmonic files. There were some name changes so you might have to click EDIT to find the new station name. |

Area Discussion for - Wilmington, OH
  (on/off)  Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definitionFxus61 kiln 201335 afdiln area forecast discussion national weather service wilmington oh 835 am est Wed feb 20 2019 Synopsis As low pressure and cold front will move east across the great lakes and the ohio valley today into tonight. High pressure will move into the ohio valley on Thursday and Friday, bringing dry conditions. The next chance for rain will occur over the weekend, as another area of low pressure moves into the great lakes. Near term until 6 pm this evening Widespread wintry pcpn has come to an end. Therefore, have cancelled the remainder winter weather advisories. However, the after effects will continue for the remainder of the morning hours until temperatures sufficiently warm into the mid and upper 30s in these locations. Thus, have issue an sps to account for this. Previous discussion---> later this afternoon, a surface low is expected to move northeast into the great lakes, and a front extending southward from the low (or from an occlusion) will cross through the iln cwa this evening. Ahead of the front, another surge of moisture is expected, resulting in another round of widespread precipitation. Behind the front, winds should quickly shift to the southwest or west, and some 20-30 mph gusts are expected. No real change to forecast thinking for the flood watch, although the heaviest pcpn did fall to the northwest of this region early this morning. The temperature forecast today is problematic, as expected, thanks to two factors -- the expected development of a temperature gradient across the cwa, and the failure for temperatures to begin to respond to warm advection so far early this morning. Temperatures have been limited to a range from the upper 30s to upper 40s. Short term 6 pm this evening through 6 pm Thursday Behind the front this evening, rain should gradually come to an end, though some patchy drizzle or light rain could continue for a few hours after the front has passed. Surface high pressure is expected to build through the middle mississippi valley region and into the ohio valley by Thursday, resulting in a much quieter weather day. Long term Thursday night through Tuesday High pressure will remain across the region Thursday night. Under filtered mid and high clouds, lows will drop into the mid 20s north to the lower 30s south. For the period Friday into Friday night, as the surface high moves east, a mid level ridge axis extending from a strong subtropical mid level ridge off the florida coast will begin to reestablish itself. In additional, embedded waves of energy will begin to move northeast around the periphery of this high into the ohio valley. This will begin a period of increasing clouds along with an increasing threat for rain from south to north as moisture becomes transported northward. Highs on Friday will range from the lower 40s north to the upper 40s south. Lows Friday night will range from the lower 30s north to the lower 40s south. The weather pattern becomes active once again as we head into the upcoming weekend. A dynamic mid level trough is forecast to pull out of the southwest u.S., into the central plains, then northeast into the great lakes. As this occurs, a significant amount of moisture will be transported northward back into the ohio valley once again. In fact, some models suggest pwats approaching 1.50 inches which is record pwat territory for the |
month of february (since upper air flights have been recorded at dayton and wilmington). On Saturday, rain will overspread the entire region as low level moisture transport accompanies a northward moving warm front. By Saturday night into Sunday, low pressure will deepen as it heads to the great lakes from the central plains. As this occurs, an attendant cold front will sweep east through our region. Models are indicating some instability with the front, along with a strong 60-70 knot low level jet. Sherb3 parameter is indicating values around 1.0 as well. Thus, have continued with categorical pops with showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms. We will have to monitor this pattern in the coming days as this could end up being a high shear low CAPE issue with potential damaging winds and isolated "spin up" tornadoes. Too early to mention in the hwo at this moment, be we will continue to monitor for updates. In addition, locally heavy rain may bring at least another 1 to 2 inches to the region, which will already still be trying to recover from Wednesday's system. As the front pushes through, pcpn will diminish in coverage. Deep low pressure over michigan and strong winds aloft will result in windy conditions on Sunday. This looks like at least a wind advisory at this point as the 00z eps indicating 60-70 percent chances for wind gusts over 40 knots. It could end up being a high wind warning in spots if momentum transfer values come to fruition (lower 50 knots for west central ohio). Have increased sustained winds and wind gusts in the hwo to at least get the ball rolling in the right direction. Will continue to mention the potential for strong winds in the hwo. Highs on Saturday will occur late in the day or in the evening, 50s to lower 60s. CAA by Sunday will cause temperatures to slowly fall, reaching the mid 30s northwest and the mid 40s southeast by Sunday evening. Quieter weather is forecast to return by Monday as high pressure builds into the great lakes and ohio valley. It will be cooler with highs in the upper 30s north to the mid 40s south. The next weather system to affect the region is poised for Tuesday with at least a chance of rain. Highs will range from the lower 40s north to the lower 50s south. Aviation 14z Wednesday through Sunday A mix of precipitation types is continuing at the TAF sites as of this writing, but the transition to rain has begun. Kcvg kluk are all rain, and kday kiln should be all rain within another hour or two. A mix of precipitation types will continue at kcmh klck through around 14z. In addition to these concerns, ifr conditions will remain widespread for quite a while, though some breaks to MVFR are possible as precipitation becomes lighter later this morning. East to southeast winds today may occasionally gust to around 20 knots. Tonight, rain will continue, though gradually decreasing in intensity (and changing to drizzle) after 00z. There will also be a period of llws, and later, some gusty winds (20-25 knots) after a front moves through the area, shifting winds to the southwest and eventually to the west. Outlook... Continuing MVFR ifr conditions are expected through Thursday morning. MVFR conditions are possible again on Saturday and Sunday, with gusty winds expected on Sunday.
