Good Wednesday Evening,
After a bumpy morning with hail reports, storms, and gusty winds, we have seen a lull as expected in the activity. Temps surged back into the 70s to lower 80s in spots. We are going to continue to see instability build this evening for a period. The line of storms will move across a very favorable area in Indiana that will allow these storms to get stronger this evening. Ahead of midnight the line will push into the western portion of Ohio.
This line will continue to move through our area in the early morning hours on Thursday, with the main threats being strong damaging winds, hail, and even tornadoes as well. This threat should start to weaken as the line of storms moves into a less favorable atmosphere further to the east overnight and closer to daybreak.
Once this line moves out to the south, the frontal boundary will follow south, and will stall. We will have a lull again Thursday midday with temps climbing back to around 70. Later Thursday, the boundary will kick back north slowly, and will have additional moisture move up into our area. We could set up for another round of moderate to heavy rain overnight into Friday.
Friday the boundary will slide south slowly, with a chance of moderate to heavy rain again, with some storms, and highs in the lower 60s. We will see warmer, moist air moving back north for the start of the weekend. This will allow temps to push back into the lower 70s, but with possible heavy rain showers around. What will be interesting on Saturday is the gradient of temps across our area, with cool readings north.
Sunday will start with temps in the middle 50s early in the morning, and with a stronger cold front moving in, we will start above normal in the middle 40s at daybreak, and may see a slight bump into the upper 40s to near 50. Temps will fall later in the day on Sunday with drier air moving in by Sunday night.
Monday, expect some clearing in the area, and brisk day with highs in the lower 50s. Colder air will work in for Tuesday, with temps running about 15+ degrees below normal under partly cloudy skies, with highs in the middle 40s. Wednesday will start off colder, with temps in the mid to upper 20s and climb to the middle 50s with sunshine.
