044 FXUS61 KILN 251013 AFDILN Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wilmington OH 613 AM EDT Tue Aug 25 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... No significant changes. && .KEY MESSAGES... 1) Dry and cool conditions are expected again today. Thunderstorm chances return for Wednesday night into Thursday. && .DISCUSSION... KEY MESSAGE 1) Surface high pressure will remain in place across the region through tonight. This will result in mostly clear conditions and continued somewhat below normal temperatures. Highs today will be in the upper 70s to lower 80s. The surface high will shift off the east through the day on Wednesday. In return flow, temperatures will moderate somewhat with highs in the low to mid 80s. A weak mid level short wave will move across the southern Great Lakes Wednesday night into Thursday. This will help push an associated weak cold front into our area through the day on Thursday. Ahead of the short wave, showers and thunderstorms will likely develop off to our northwest during the day on Wednesday, with some of this activity moving into our area from the northwest Wednesday evening/night, but likely weakening as it does. Additional chances for showers and thunderstorms will then develop through the day on Thursday as we destabilize through the afternoon and the front approaches from the northwest. Deep layer shear does begin to increase a bit through Thursday afternoon so suppose a few stronger storms may be possible during the afternoon into early evening. && .AVIATION /10Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... High pressure and a dry airmass will remain in place across the region through tonight. With light winds and clear skies, some river valley fog will be possible again late tonight, mainly affecting KLUK. Otherwise, just expect a few afternoon VFR cu today.
