NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
312 PM EDT TUE JUL 6 1999

SEVERE WEATHER HAS BECOME QUITE ACTIVE OVER THE LAST HOUR AS
CONVECTION HAS FIRED ALONG A POST FRONTAL TROUGH WHERE CONVERGENCE
HAS INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY.  STRONGEST LI WERE DEPICTED FOR THIS
AFTERNOON ACROSS THE AREA WHERE CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED.

STRONG TO SVR CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND
EARLY EVENING HOURS.  SVR WX WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR A LARGE
PORTION OF NORTHERN OHIO UNTIL 8 PM THIS EVENING.

ONCE TROUGH SWINGS THROUGH THIS EVENING...CLEARING SKIES WILL MOVE
INTO THE REGION AND SET UP FOR A PLEASANT OVERNIGHT PERIOD. SFC HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION.  FLOW WILL BE BRIEFLY FROM THE
NW AND THEN SHIFT AROUND TO THE WEST AND ORIGINATE FM THE CENTRAL
U.S.  THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT AIRMASS FOLLOWING THE FRONT WILL
HAVE MODIFIED CONSIDERABLY.  WILL STAY FAIRLY CLOSE TO GUIDANCE
TEMPS FOR TOMORROW.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL DOMINATE THE WEATHER THROUGH THURSDAY UNTIL
ANOTHER WARM FRONT APPROACHES THE AREA. PARTLY SUNNY SHOULD COVER IT
FOR THURSDAY WITH A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TO THURSDAY
NIGHT INTO FRIDAY.

PERIOD.
