.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 230 PM EDT Sat Apr 12 2025
An elongated area of high pressure is centered over the Mid
Mississippi valley this afternoon, providing sunshine and mild
conditions across the area. Increasing clouds overnight will keep
lows from dropping too much, only down to the mid 30s to near
40. Unlike the past two nights, frost is not expected.
Our next system arrives late Sunday into Monday. We are watching a
low pressure system to become better organized over the Rockies
today that will eject out over the Central/Northern Plains late
tonight into the day tomorrow. As this system traverses the
Plains and approaches to the Upper Great Lakes, clouds will
continue increase through the day on Sunday. As WAA ramps up,
southerly winds gusts to 30 mph will be possible Sunday.
Temperatures will be warmer on Sunday than they have been the
past few days with highs in the upper 50s to mid 60s! Dry
conditions prevail for many locations tomorrow, although can't
rule out a few stray showers/sprinkles as WAA and moisture
increases.
On Monday, the area of low pressure will deepen as it moves
northeast from the Midwest over Lake Superior and into Ontario. The
system's attendant cold front will sweep through our forecast
area Monday late morning/afternoon. As the cold front interacts
with the warm air and moisture, scattered showers and
thunderstorms may develop, especially east of I69. There is low
confidence in a stronger storm or two clipping the far southeast
portion of our forecast area, but models support better severe
potential outside of our area across central and southern Ohio.
Depending on how early in the day the front passes through, the
western half of the area could end up completely dry.
Rain chances have increased on Tuesday as the trough pivots through.
Scattered light showers will be possible across the area. Tuesday
will be cooler - with highs only in the 40s - thanks to strong CAA
with the tightening pressure gradient on the backside of the low.
Northwest winds will gust up to 30-35 mph on Tuesday afternoon.
The next chances for rain arrive late in the week on Thursday and
Friday, however, considerable uncertainty remains due to divergent
model solutions. The temperature forecast appears seasonable with
highs in the 50s.
