159 FXUS61 KILN 241259 AFDILN Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wilmington OH 859 AM EDT Sat May 24 2025 .SYNOPSIS... Mostly dry and cool conditions will remain in place through the weekend. More widespread rain chances will return on Tuesday while below average temperatures persist into next week. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... Ongoing fcst remains on track with quiet conditions expected through the near term period. Periodic mid/high level clouds will stream through the region during the daytime, but partly cloudy skies are expected overall with temps reaching into the mid 60s to around 70 degrees by late afternoon. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/... Surface high pressure will remain centered over the Great Lakes with a weak ridge axis extending down into the mid Ohio Valley tonight into Sunday. Meanwhile, the flow aloft will become a bit more zonal as a mid level short wave drops down across the southern Great Lakes. This will allow for an increase in mainly mid level moisture through the day on Sunday. As the mid levels moisten up, we may eventually see a few sprinkles or light rain showers develop through Sunday afternoon. The best chance for this will be across our southern areas where we will include a low end 20 pop. Temperatures will remain seasonably cool with lows tonight in the 45 to 50 degree range and highs on Sunday in the mid to possibly upper 60s. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... Below to near normal temperatures will be present during the long term with the coolest night expected to be Sunday night with lows across most locations in the 40s. Low temperatures much of the remainder of the long term will be in the 50s to around 60. High temperatures are expected to be in the 60s and 70s. The wet weather pattern will continue through much of the long term. While Sunday night and Monday are expected to be dry, precipitation chances will return Monday night through Tuesday night as a low pressure system brings moisture back into the region. At this time this looks to be the most widespread precipitation for the week. While there is some variability in the models, several additional systems are expected to keep precipitation chances in the forecast each day through the end of the long term on Friday. There is some instability at times during the long term and therefore timed in thunderstorm chances for time frames where there was a better potential && .AVIATION /13Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... West to northwest flow will continue aloft through tonight. Some high and mid clouds will drift down across the region at times today into tonight. VFR conditions will prevail through the TAF period. OUTLOOK...MVFR to IFR ceilings and visibilities are likely Tuesday into Wednesday. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. KY...None. IN...None. && $$ SYNOPSIS...Campbell NEAR TERM...KC/JGL SHORT TERM...JGL LONG TERM... AVIATION...JGL
