AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
141 PM EDT TUE MAY 14 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
SOUTHERLY FLOW AT THE SURFACE WILL BE FOUND OVER THE REGION
THROUGH MID WEEK. LOW PRESSURE IN CANADA WILL DRAPE A FRONTAL
BOUNDARY ALONG THE I-70 CORRIDOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY.
THIS BOUNDARY WILL LINGER BETWEEN THE INTERSTATE AND THE OHIO
RIVER THROUGH FRIDAY...PROVIDING A FOCUS FOR RAIN DURING THIS
TIME.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
A FAIR AMOUNT OF AC CONTINUES TO DRIFT DOWN ACROSS OUR AREA THIS
MORNING. SOME RETURNS ARE SHOWING UP ON RADAR ACROSS THE NORTHEAST
PART OF OUR FA. WHILE MOST OF THIS APPEARS TO NOT BE REACHING THE
GROUND...A FEW SPRINKLES ARE NOT OUR OF THE QUESTION THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE MORNING. MID LEVEL MOISTURE IS FORECAST TO PUSH OFF
TO THE EAST THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON...SO WE SHOULD SEE A DECREASE
IN CLOUDS AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE DAY. IF THE CLOUDS HANG AROUND
LONG ENOUGH...THEY COULD IMPACT HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR THIS
AFTERNOON. AT THIS POINT...WILL GO AHEAD AND TRIM TEMPS BACK A
BIT...PRIMARILY ACROSS THE EAST WHERE CLOUDS SHOULD HANG IN THE
LONGEST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
A GRADUAL WARMUP IS EXPECTED THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS SOUTH
WINDS PULL IN WARMER AIR. A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL LAY OUT OVER THE
NORTHERN CWA WED NIGHT AND LINGER OVER THE CWA IN A W-E
ORIENTATION THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY NIGHT. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR FOR THE BETTER PART OF THURSDAY AND
THURSDAY NIGHT. SOME RAIN OVER NORTHERN CWA COULD START AS EARLY
AS WEDNESDAY NIGHT. EVEN WITH THE PROLONGED NATURE OF SOME OF
THESE SHOWERS...IT APPEARS THAT IT WILL BE MORE OF A BENEFICIAL
RAINFALL THAN ONE THAT WOULD CAUSE WIDESPREAD FLOODING ISSUES.

TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO RISE AND SHOULD REACH THE LOW TO MID
80S ON WEDNESDAY BEFORE RAIN HAMPERS HIGHS ON THURSDAY TO THE 70S.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...

THE EVENING HOURS. HIGHS A LTL WARMER ON SATURDAY...RANGING FROM THE
UPPER 70S NORTH TO AROUND 80 SOUTH.

PROGRESSIVE MID LEVEL TROF TO MOVE INTO THE NATIONS MID SECTION
SUNDAY AND THE UPR MS VLY MONDAY. FRONT EXPECTED TO LIFT NORTH OF
