110 FXUS61 KILN 291050 AFDILN Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wilmington OH 650 AM EDT Sat Aug 29 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... No significant changes. && .KEY MESSAGES... 1) There will be an extended dry stretch with warming temperatures. && .DISCUSSION... KEY MESSAGE 1) A short wave will move through shallow west northwest flow this weekend which will bring increasing high and mid clouds, particularly tonight into Sunday. Then, an expansive mid level ridge will translate east, becoming centered over the Tennessee Valley Tuesday into Wednesday. It is not out of the question that there could be a few sprinkles out of the mid deck tomorrow, but the chance of measurable rain is extremely low. So, dry conditions will continue into mid week. There remains the potential for a front to sag into the area later in the week as the mid level high gets suppressed south while a short wave moves across the Great Lakes. But timing and occurrence are uncertain. A warming trend will occur with temperatures getting into the lower 90s next week, possibly even some mid 90s. Dew points will rise once low level southerly flow become established. Heat indices could approach 100 by Wednesday. && .AVIATION /12Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... Visibility restrictions at KLUK will end early and then likely redevelop late in the period. Otherwise VFR. A 5kft deck will become a bit more extensive with heating. This will dissipate towards 00Z with mid clouds spread across the area thereafter. OUTLOOK...No significant weather expected. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. KY...None.
