746 FXUS61 KILN 071001 AFDILN Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wilmington OH 601 AM EDT Mon Sep 7 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... No significant changes. && .KEY MESSAGES... 1) Tranquil weather to start the week. A cold front will then move through Wednesday night into Thursday. && .DISCUSSION... KEY MESSAGE 1) High pressure centered over the Great Lakes will keep a dry and cooler airmass in place throughout the day on Monday. By Tuesday, the high begins to shift east, bringing a return of southerly flow and a warming trend. Temperatures on Tuesday rise into the upper 80s, while low 90s are forecast for Wednesday. A short wave will track from the northern Plains across the upper Great Lakes, pushing a cold front into the area Wednesday into Thursday. Given how far removed ILN is from the warm sector of the system, moisture ahead of the front isn`t robust. However, as the front slowly sags down into the region, it looks to nearly stall out (or be very slow to progress) and PWATs along the front are forecast to be around 200% of normal. While, at this junction, severe weather doesn`t look overly likely, any training storms along the slow moving boundary would introduce a flash flooding threat. While exact timing on FROPA is a bit ambiguous, ensembles suggest that it will be passing through the FA on Thursday. Once this front passes through the region, cooler and drier air will once again filter in for the end of the work week. && .AVIATION /09Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... No major changes from the previous TAFs. Winds out of the northeast will increase throughout the day today to around 10 knots, becoming more easterly. Patchy diurnal cu is expected across the region. Winds begin to shift back to southerly near the end of the TAF period, though only included in the extended CVG TAF for now. OUTLOOK...Thunderstorms possible Wednesday night into Thursday. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. KY...None. IN...None. && $$ DISCUSSION...Aiena AVIATION...Aiena
