137 FXUS61 KILN 210538 AFDILN AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Wilmington OH 138 AM EDT Sat Sep 21 2024 .SYNOPSIS... High pressure will bring a brief return to warm and dry conditions for Saturday before an unsettled pattern arrives starting Sunday afternoon with a chance for showers and thunderstorms continuing through early next week. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/... Removed fog for tonight given a significant dewpoint depression noted on just about all model guidance. Cloud cover will increase ahead of a line of significantly dissipating showers. This will be followed by some lower sc before clearing, likely before daybreak. Low temperatures in the middle 60s have not been adjusted by more than a degree for any one location. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/... After a bit of patchy fog to start the day, surface high pressure will briefly build into the lower Great Lakes on Saturday through Saturday night. Mid-level ridging will also extend back northeast into our area keeping us in a warm and dry air mass. High temperatures will once again reach to around 90 degrees, which is 13-14 degrees above normal for this time of year. Lows Saturday night will remain in the 60s. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... An unsettled weather pattern will be in place through the long term with daily precipitation chances. There is decent model agreement in the Sunday through Wednesday timeframe and therefore confidence is higher. Thursday and Friday has more variability and therefore kept precipitation chances lower during that time. Temperatures on Sunday will be warm in advance of the rain moving into the region. Cooler temperatures will be in place for the remainder of the week with the daily precipitation chances. && .AVIATION /06Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

A weak boundary will move east across the area this morning and it will be tough to rule out a few showers associated with this. Otherwise, expect scattered to broken primarily VFR stratocumulus to persist through the morning hours. Drier air will then filter into the region through this afternoon, leading to a decreasing cloud trend through the rest of the TAF period. OUTLOOK...Hazardous weather is not expected.
