814 FXUS61 KILN 101100 AFDILN Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wilmington OH 600 AM EST Mon Nov 10 2025 .SYNOPSIS... A strong mid level disturbance will drop south through the area today. This will result snow showers bringing the first light snow accumulations of the season. Unseasonably cold air will gradually moderate as the week progresses. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... The center of a robust mid level shortwave centered over southern Lake Michigan to swing south-southeast through the larger flow dropping south of the region to a position over KY by afternoon. Ahead of this feature some very light disorganized snow showers were occurring across the area at this time. An east-west oriented surface trough will drop into northern counties of the area by 12z and then south thru the area by mid afternoon. There continues to be some minor timing differences within the model solutions, but close to I-70 corridor by daybreak. This will allow for a period of enhanced snow showers which will become more numerous as the surface feature moves into the area. Snow accumulations may end up at 1-2 inches for a good portion of the area in grassy areas, with melting on concrete surfaces limiting accumulations. Main impacts are expected to be reduced visibility and some slick spots on mainly bridges and overpasses. Will continue to highlight these hazards in a special weather statement. Expect a limited diurnal rise today with readings during the afternoon generally in the upper 20s. Brisk northwest winds of 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph will result in wind chill readings in the teens to lower 20s today. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/... Secondary disturbance dropping southeast across the back side of the deep upper low affecting the tonight. This combined with northwest flow off Lake Michigan will likely bring another band of snow into the area this evening into the overnight hours. This will primarily affect west central and central Ohio. Any additional accumulation will be less than an inch. Expect cold lows in the lower 20s with wind chill readings in the lower teens. The mid level trof shift off to the east with northwest flow in its wake. Surface high pressure builds across the area with mid and high level clouds streaming into the region. Temperatures reach highs in the upper 30s to the lower 40s. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... Surface ridging will briefly build into the middle Ohio Valley Tuesday. This will keep temperatures cold but may allow for short periods of sunshine. By Wednesday, another surface front will quickly make its way through the region. This front appears to be a dry one, but westerly winds will be gusty due to the increasing pressure gradient. Mid-level ridging will begin to build into the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes late in the week into the weekend. Westerly winds will become more southwesterly during this period. Highs will begin to lift into the 50s and perhaps into the lower 60s by Saturday. A mid-level trough will make its way into the Mississippi Valley by late in the weekend. The depth and location of the associated surface low varies greatly across ensembles and their members. However, the pattern certainly implies a good chance of rain for Sunday. Temperatures will be well above normal to close the period. && .AVIATION /10Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... An east-west oriented surface trough will approach the northern TAF sites early and then south thru the entire area by mid afternoon. Ahead of this feature some very light disorganized snow showers were occurring across the area at this time with generally MVFR ceilings and MVFR visibilities at times. As the surface trough drops south expect a period of enhanced snow showers which will allow conditions to drop to IFR and LIFR at times. The snow should taper off by early afternoon and visibilities and ceilings will improve with VFR conditions developing during the mid to late afternoon hours. A Secondary disturbance dropping southeast across the back side of the deep upper low may affect KCMH and KLCK tonight. This combined with northwest flow off Lake Michigan may bring another band of snow into the northern areas this evening into the overnight hours. Have a prob30 mention for this possibility. Northwesterly winds will continue through the period at 10-13 knots, with gusts up to 23 knots possible, particularly during the afternoon.
