682 FXUS61 KILN 301730 AFDILN Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wilmington OH 130 PM EDT Wed Sep 30 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... No significant changes. && .KEY MESSAGES... 1) Above normal temperatures will be in place through Thursday. A cold front on Friday will lead to generally below normal temperatures through at least the middle of next week. 2) Precipitation is expected Thursday night into Friday, otherwise expect generally dry conditions through the next week. && .DISCUSSION... Key Message 1) Well above normal temperatures are expected for Thursday with highs areawide in the 80s. A few 90 degree readings cannot be ruled out near and south of the Ohio River. Temperatures will fall on Friday as a cold front moves through, ushering in generally below normal temperatures for the remainder of the week. There will be the potential for some patchy frost Monday night into Tuesday morning. Key Message 2) A few light showers or sprinkles cannot be ruled out this afternoon through the overnight across far northern portions of the region north of Interstate 70. Most of this will be falling from a mid deck however and therefore do not expect much if any to reach the ground. Due to that left NBM dry forecast in place. Showers will move into the region Thursday evening through Friday before tapering off Friday evening. This is associated with a cold front that will move through the area. There is some limited instability and therefore have a lower end thunder mention in part of the forecast area as well. While brief periods of heavy rain will be possible, the probability of flooding conditions is low at this time and therefore left any mention out of the HWO. && .AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... Mid and high clouds will move across the TAF sites through the TAF period. MVFR and potentially IFR conditions will be possible at KLUK overnight with river valley fog. There is some uncertainty with cloud cover and this will have an impact on how low visibilities drop overnight. Expect rain to hold off until after the end of the TAF period. Winds will gust around 20 to 25 knots on Thursday during the late morning and through the afternoon hours. OUTLOOK...MVFR/IFR ceiling and visibilities possible Friday. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. KY...None. IN...None. && $$ DISCUSSION...08 AVIATION...08
