Forecast from NOAA-NWS for Lancaster, OH. 246 FXUS61 KILN 191744 AFDILN Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wilmington OH 144 PM EDT Sat Apr 19 2025 .SYNOPSIS... Showers and thunderstorms can be expected at times today as a cold front moves into the Ohio Valley. A chance of showers and thunderstorms will continue Sunday into Monday as a low pressure system lifts northeast through the Great Lakes region. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 8 PM THIS EVENING/... The main focus for the near term period is going to be the expectation for scattered showers/storms to move through the region through early evening. There is plenty of impressive deep-layer shear to work with, as well as some relatively steep ML lapse rates, suggesting that ongoing convection in the area, as well as upstream across IL/IN, should continue to maintain structure and strength as it moves swiftly to the NE amidst a slowly-destabilizing environment. Any N-S oriented or bowing line segment is going to bring with it the elevated potential for strong to damaging wind gusts, especially into early/mid afternoon as the BL destabilizes and the LL thermodynamic environment ripens. The limiting factor to a more widespread severe threat is going to be the propensity for the clustering of storms to continue to shunt the outflow boundary (stable air) a bit further to the SE progressively with time. This should slowly create a "worked over" environment for many spots near/N of I-71 by midday, with the only "pristine" LL environment still lingering in parts of N KY into far south-central OH into late afternoon/early evening. So with this in mind, the best severe potential should gradually shift to the SE through the afternoon hours, maximizing near the I-71 corridor early to mid afternoon, before focusing across the SE third of the local area into early evening. With strong deep- layer shear and the presence of good ML lapse rates, both damaging winds and large hail will be possible with the strongest storms. With the front draped across the region, we will end up with a decent temperature gradient across our area today with afternoon highs ranging from the mid 60s northwest to the lower 80s in our far southeast. && .SHORT TERM /8 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/... The showers and any thunderstorms will begin to taper off heading into this evening as the front continues to sag southeast and we lose the diurnal instability. The front will stall out to our south later tonight into Sunday morning before beginning to lift back to the north as warm front Sunday afternoon as a developing surface low lifts north across the mid Mississippi Valley. This will combine with a strengthening low level jet ahead of the low to lead to scattered showers and chance for thunderstorms during the day on Sunday, especially across western portions of our area. Lows tonight will range from the upper 40s north to the upper 50s south with highs on Sunday ranging from the low 60s in the north to the upper 70s in the south. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... A low pressure system moves through the Great Lakes Sunday night through Monday. On Sunday night, a warm front east of the low lifts further north of the Ohio Valley which will help to reinforce the warm air in place. Shower and storms chances remain fairly minimal with lack of forcing for at least the first half of the night. Forecast lows only drop to near 60. On Monday, the low continues to progress northeast and an associated cold front works through the Ohio Valley during the day. Shower and storms chances increase ahead of the front. Currently, severe probabilities remain on the low side since only a low amount of instability is modeled in the warm sector. Additionally, shower/storm coverage is not expected to be overly high. Slightly cooler and drier air returns behind the front for the middle of the week. Shower and storm chances return by the end of the week when another stalled boundary drifts into the Ohio Valley. && .AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... The earlier convection has since departed the area, but SCT SHRA/TSRA is expected to move back in between 21z-01z from W to E, locally. There are a few uncertainties regarding the coverage of this activity during this time, but the best chance for some TS, as well as some brief MVFR VSBYs, should focus near KCVG/KLUK/KILN. The activity should move through fairly quickly, although there may be several clusters to impact one particular site during the several hour window. CIGs should remain primarily VFR until after the pcpn ends when the front actually begins to drift to the S through the area. MVFR CIGs should develop, at least briefly, from N to S from about 02z through 08z, eventually shifting to the S of the sites toward daybreak. Additional ISO SHRA will be possible for SW sites in the several hour period around daybreak Sunday as the front stalls and slowly begins to pivot back to the N. Borderline MVFR/VFR CIGs are expected to continue through 18z before trending more solidly VFR into the afternoon/evening Sunday. WSW winds of 10-15kts, with gusts around 20-25kts, are expected to resume this afternoon ahead of the approaching SHRA/TSRA. Wind will go more northerly, and eventually northeasterly toward/beyond 06z in the post-frontal environment. Winds will trend toward the ESE at around 10kts by the end of the period once again. OUTLOOK...MVFR conditions possible Monday along with a chance for thunderstorms. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. KY...None. IN...None. && $$ SYNOPSIS...JGL NEAR TERM...KC SHORT TERM...JGL LONG TERM...Campbell AVIATION...KC |
