KEY MESSAGES

DISCUSSION

KEY MESSAGE 1) A freeze warning is in effect for tonight across the northern two- thirds of the region. A frost advisory is in effect for the southern third including near and south of the Ohio River for tonight. For Monday night a freeze watch has been issued across portions of central Ohio. Although dry air will be in place there will be the potential for at least some frost and have frost mention in the HWO in locations west of the freeze watch. Temperatures during the day will also be below normal with highs in the 50s to around 60. After Monday night, temperatures are expected to be above normal through the remainder of the week.

KEY MESSAGE 2) A system working down into the area this afternoon and evening will bring some light scattered showers to the area. While the showers will primarily be liquid, cannot rule out a few light snow shower as well north of I-70. Another system will move through Tuesday night into Wednesday bringing showers and thunderstorms to the area. Friday into the weekend multiple systems will bring additional showers and thunderstorms to the region along with breezy conditions for Friday.

AVIATION /21Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/

Discussion for 00Z TAFs...

25-30 knot westerly wind gusts will continue for another few hours, before diminishing after 01Z. Lighter winds are then expected overnight. Through the next few hours, there is also a slight chance of a shower at some of the TAF sites. The chances are a little higher at the Columbus airports, so a TEMPO -SHRA will be kept in the forecast. No significant impacts are expected, and VFR conditions will continue.

VFR conditions are expected again tomorrow, with some cumulus development, and northwest winds generally around 10-12 knots.

OUTLOOK....Thunderstorms possible Tuesday night into Wednesday, and then again on Friday. MVFR conditions are possible on Wednesday and Friday.
