CLEMISILN ALREADY OUT.

NGM AND ETA ARE SIMILAR THIS RUN ON TIMING OF COLD FRONT DROPPING
ACROSS FA AND 300 JET MAX.

NGM DEWPOINTS WERE UNDER DONE AGAIN THIS RUN...PLACING 60 DEWPOINTS
WERE 70 WERE OBSERVED. THEREFORE NGM CAPES AND INSTABILITIES ARE WAY
UNDERESTIMATED.

MEANWHILE ETA IS THE ONLY MODEL WHICH HAS THE TAIL OF THE 850 MB JET
MAX ACROSS WV INTO KY.  WITH THIS JET...THE ETA PRODUCES A STRONG
850 CONVERGENT AREA AND COMBINES IT WITH THE UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE
TO PRODUCE A WIDE AREA OF UPPER VELOCITIES.

THINK THAT THE ETA MIGHT BE A LITTLE TO AGGRESSIVE WITH THE 850
WINDS...SO WILL TREND TOWARDS THE ETA SOLUTION...POSITION OF THE
QPF...BUT WILL TAPER IT DOWN A LITTLE.

WILL CONTINUE WITH LIKELY POPS IN THE WEST...BUT WILL GO HIGH CHANCE
IN THE EAST...WHERE THE FORCING IS A LITTLE WEAKER.

FRONT IS LOCATED FROM SOUTH OF CMH-DAY BY 12Z SATURDAY...SO WILL
CONTINUE WITH THE POPS IN THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES.  DRY AIR PUSHES IN
FOR SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY.

NGM MOS TEMPERATURES IN THE BALLPARK FOR THE FIRST 3 PERIODS...BUT A
LOOK LITTLE WARM FOR SUNDAY...CONSIDERING THAT THE THE 850
TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOUT 10 C.

.ILN...NONE
