326 FXUS61 KILN 070702 AFDILN Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wilmington OH 302 AM EDT Sun Jun 7 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... Trending towards not quite so warm for the latter part of the week. && .KEY MESSAGES... 1) Scattered showers and thunderstorms will occur today. More showers and storms will move across the region Monday afternoon into Tuesday with the potential for locally heavy rainfall. 2) Very warm temperatures will develop in the middle of the week. && .DISCUSSION... KEY MESSAGE 1) A weak front stretching across northern Indiana and Ohio will sag into the forecast area today. Plenty of moisture in place to allow for the development of scattered showers and storms in a west northwest-east southeast oriented zone across the middle of the forecast area during peak diurnal heating. Precipitable water could be close to 1.7 inches near this boundary, so locally heavy rain cannot be ruled out. Short wave in the mid Mississippi Valley to start on Monday will slowly move northeast on Monday and then turn eastward Monday night and Tuesday, moving east of the region by Tuesday evening. Precipitable water is forecast to increase to 1.8 to 2 inches and warm cloud depth will be 3.5 to 4 km. This will make for efficient warm rain processes. Showers and storms will develop into western counties on Monday afternoon. This activity should decrease Monday night but then become more widespread on Tuesday. This creates the potential for locally heavy rainfall. Moisture transport is weak and convection may just be progressive enough to avoid substantial issues, but there still could be isolated flooding concerns. KEY MESSAGE 3) Expansive mid level ridge centered over the lower Mississippi Valley will extend northeast into the region on Wednesday. An increasing number of members in the guidance suite are suppressing this ridge later in the week as a progressive broad trough tracks across Canada and the northern tier of the US. This would lead to the Ohio Valley being on the southern end of the westerlies by the end of the week. It will still get very warm Wednesday into Thursday with readings potentially getting into the upper 80s, but 90 might be a bit of a reach. With this change in the pattern, temperatures will trend towards not quite as warm, although still above normal, for late in the week. && .AVIATION /06Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... There is a very low chance that some fog could develop near the Columbus terminals towards 12Z as clouds decrease, but too low to include in the initial TAF issuance. Otherwise, VFR will prevail outside of any precipitation. A front will sag south across the region with some showers and storms developing ahead of it during peak heating. Have continued with a PROB30 for this potential at all but the Columbus area. OUTLOOK...Thunderstorms are possible, mainly during the afternoon and evening, each day from Monday through Thursday. MVFR ceilings and visibilities possible Monday night into Wednesday. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. KY...None. IN...None. && $$ DISCUSSION...35 AVIATION...35

Mountain & avalanche safety

Know before you go
Check today's avalanche bulletin from the regional avalanche center before any off-piste / side-country / backcountry travel. Conditions can shift dramatically between morning and afternoon on storm days.
Carry the gear, know how to use it
Beacon, shovel, probe. Practice companion rescue on a calm day, not during a real burial.
Mind the weather window
Heavy snow + wind builds wind slabs at ridgelines. The day after a storm is often the riskiest in the backcountry, even if the resort itself is open.
Respect closed terrain
Ropes are there for a reason. Even in-bounds, ducking a closure can trigger a slide that catches you and others below.

FAQ

About Cloudmont Ski Resort

Where does the snow data for Cloudmont Ski Resort come from?

Snowpack, SWE, 24-hour snowfall, and air temperature come from the nearest USDA NRCS SNOTEL station. Forecast comes from the National Weather Service / yr.no feed that Snoflo's iOS app uses.

How often is the snow report updated?

Snowpack and SNOTEL data are updated continuously by NRCS (typically hourly). The 15-day weather forecast is refreshed throughout the day. Snoflo caches and renders the most recent observation -- look for the "as of" timestamp on the snowpack hero.

What's the elevation at Cloudmont Ski Resort?

See the Resort Metrics panel above for base / summit / vertical drop. The summit elevation drives snowpack accumulation -- higher summits hold snow longer through spring.

How is "% of normal" calculated?

Today's snowpack is compared to the average snowpack on this calendar day across every recorded year at the nearest SNOTEL. 100% means right on average; 130% is a big year; 60% is thin.

What ski resorts are near Cloudmont Ski Resort?

See the Other Ski Areas pill grid at the bottom of the page for resorts within driving distance. The sister Other Ski Areas card in the Plan-a-longer-trip grid above shows the closest few.

Can I get alerts when fresh snow hits?

Yes -- snow alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this resort, set a snowfall threshold (e.g. "alert me when 6+ inches"), and you'll get a push the moment the SNOTEL crosses.
