DISCUSSION

KEY MESSAGE 1)

Outside of a few spotty sprinkles possible north of I-70 this afternoon, expect dry conditions through the day on Thursday. Increased precipitation chances with the potential for a band of rain showers Thursday night into Friday. Also increased QPF and sky cover as well from the NBM. Precipitation will be more widespread Friday night. There is the potential that rain lingers a little longer than the NBM is indicating on Saturday, however confidence was not high enough to make changes during that time. Another system will move through Sunday into Sunday night. Monday and Monday night look dry at this time. There is more uncertainty with Tuesday into Wednesday, however there are some solutions indicating additional precipitation chances during this time as well.

KEY MESSAGE 2)

Lows in a few spots will drop down into the 30s tonight. Have some patchy frost in a few typically colder spots east of Columbus, however some cloud cover will also be possible. Below normal temperatures through Friday will come closer to normal values over the weekend. Temperatures are expected to drop below normal again for Monday and Tuesday before moderating to come closer to normal on Wednesday.

AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/

VFR conditions are expected through the TAF period. A mix of cu and mid clouds will be possible today and into this evening. There will be a decrease in clouds for a time overnight before additional VFR clouds work into the area. While isolated wind gusts will be possible, confidence was not high enough to include any wind gusts in the TAFs at this time.

OUTLOOK...MVFR conditions are possible Friday night into early Saturday. MVFR conditions and thunderstorms are possible Sunday into Sunday evening.
