KEY MESSAGES
* Warming continues into tomorrow with highs mid 50s to mid 60s
* Showers and chances for storms Friday night into Saturday morning
* Several rounds of rain and storms expected late Sunday through Tuesday. Hydro concerns may arise during this time
DISCUSSION
Issued at 215 PM EDT Thu Mar 28 2024
Tonight into Friday will feature mainly dry and warmer wx as upper ridging expands over the Central US. There remains non-zero chances for a few sprinkles/showers tonight south of US 30 as a weak mid level impulse tops a developing baroclinic zone lifting into these areas. The weak forcing in conjunction with a very dry sub-cloud layer doesn't bode well for anything more than a 10-20% type PoP. Friday will be a pleasant late March day with low amplitude ridging through the column. The frontal zone does linger in the vicinity with highs mid-upper 50s north to the low-mid 60s south.
A periodically active/wet pattern will become established Friday night through Tuesday as moisture streams northward into an oscillating west-east oriented frontal zone. This will occur under a series of mid level impulses that will eject east in advance of a deep Western CONUS longwave trough modeled to release east through the local area by Tuesday.
The first modest shortwave and associated moisture convergence on the nose of a ~50 kt low level jet will bring showers and chances for elevated convection Friday night as a sfc frontal wave likely tracks east near the MI border. No severe threat with this wave, though wouldn't be surprised if there is some small hail and locally heavy rainfall rates. Shower/storm intensity and coverage then wanes from west to east mid morning through early afternoon on Saturday as the frontal wave shifts off to the east. This will force the frontal zone south toward the OH River by Saturday night and Sunday morning with mainly dry and slightly cooler conditions anticipated.
The baroclinic zone will become increasingly active Sunday night through Tuesday as the approaching upper trough takes on a positive tilt with low pressure tracking east through the OH Valley by later Monday and Tuesday. Rounds of rain and embedded thunder are likely in this regime, especially given the abundance of moisture getting pulled north into the frontal system. At this range models continue to differ on where exactly the axis of heavier rain and potential hydro issues will set up (overhead or just south). Current projections also favor areas to the south for strong/severe convection Monday into Tuesday, though this and heavy rainfall will need to be monitored in the coming days.
AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SATURDAY/
Issued at 142 AM EDT Fri Mar 29 2024
VFR conditions with light and somewhat variable winds are expected at the TAF sites. Surface high pressure over the terminals will keep both sites dry, with mainly high cloud cover to contend with. Towards the end of the period, a warm front will lift northward and bring us chances for rain showers. A few thunderstorms are not out of the question, especially after 6z, however left out of the TAF for now given lower confidence on timing and extent of coverage.
