PERSISTENT PATTERN KEEPS HIGH TO NE AND LOW OVER OHIO VALLEY THROUGH
MID WEEK. GRADIENT INCREASES THROUGH H48 AND PUMPS MOISTURE INTO FA.
BACKDOOR COLD FRONT SWINGS THROUGH TODAY/TONIGHT ENHANCING UPLIFT.
ONGOING PRECIP DUE TO MDT INSTABILITY...CAPES OVER 1500 J/KG...AND
BOUNDARIES LEFTOVER FROM PRECIP LAST NIGHT.  VORT LOBE OVER NW PA
ROTATES THROUGH AND WEAKENS.  WEAK SHEAR PROVIDES SLOW STORM MOVEMENT
AND HEAVY LOCALIZED RAINFALL.  ECHOES BEGINNING TO TRAIN AS THEY MOVE
ALONG BOUNDARIES TO THE NW AND WNW...THIS WILL GREATLY INCREASE FLOOD
POTENTIAL...ESP OVER NORTHEAST PA NW TO CENTRAL SOUTHERN TIER.

NGM BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPS PLUNGE FROM MID 70S TODAY TO 60 OVER NEXT 48
