469 FXUS61 KILN 010644 AFDILN AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Wilmington OH 244 AM EDT Sat Jun 1 2024 .SYNOPSIS... High pressure of Canadian origin will bring dry and cool conditions through this evening. An unsettled pattern is expected from late Saturday through early next week. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... High pressure still remains in control tonight, but will continue to trek eastward. Cirrus clouds spill in from the west overnight ahead of the next system. While overnight lows will be relatively cool once again, temperatures won`t drop quite as much tonight. Temperatures will be mostly diurnal, but a late increase in southeasterly winds may cause temperatures to warm up a few degrees before daybreak on Saturday. Still, lows will dip into the upper 40s to middle 50s across the CWA. && .SHORT TERM /SUNDAY/... Dry conditions are still expected to stick around Saturday morning ahead of an approaching upper level vorticity max and weak surface disturbance. Mostly dry conditions may actually end up persisting across the area until afternoon when rain finally starts to move in from the west associated with the aforementioned system. A severe threat is not at all expected since instability is minimal and shear is well below severe thresholds. Dew points and cloud cover increase through the day on weak southerly flow. Forecast highs are near 80. The chance for rain persists Saturday night with the upper level trough axis pivoting through. Forecast QPF is less than and inch with means there is little flood concern. Forecast lows drop into the middle to lower 60s. Surface flow will be southerly to start the night before shifting to the west later on the western side of the trough axis. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... Showers will still be ongoing at the start of the period as weakening short wave continues east. But precipitation will diminish as the day progresses. Any remaining surface boundary will wash out and weak high pressure will build in resulting a dry period from Sunday night through much of Monday night. Mid level pattern will then evolve into a negatively tilted omega block through the rest of the week. The region will be on the troughing end of the block. This will bring chances of showers and thunderstorms starting Tuesday. That will continue into Thursday when the mid level trough becomes deep enough to force a front through the region. Drier conditions are forecast for Friday as high pressure builds in to the southwest. && .AVIATION /06Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
