BE CENTERED OVER OHIO 12Z WEDNESDAY.  RIDGE WILL REMAIN DOMINANT
OVER THE NEXT TWO DAYS...AND MOST OF UPPER DYNAMICS WILL REMAIN ON
THE WESTERN FLANK OF THE RIDGE AND IN THE SOUTHEAST NEAR TS
ALLISON'S REMNANTS.

WEAK SFC PATTERN WILL PERSIST IN OUR AREA THROUGH THE FCST PERIOD
WITH MOST ORGANIZED PRECIP NEAR NORTHERN PLAINS LOW AND ALLISON'S
REMNANTS. THIS EVENING'S MAIN CONCERN WILL BE FROM ACTIVITY THAT
DEVELOPS ALONG OUTFLOW THAT IS ACROSS NORTHERN OHIO. I'LL GO WITH

BOUNDARY AND 20 POPS SOUTH.

WITH H5 RIDGE BUILDING ON WEDNESDAY AND ALLISON'S REMNANTS STAYING
FARTHER SOUTHEAST THAN PREVIOUSLY EXPECTED...I'LL REMOVE POPS IN

WORKING IN THERE AND DRIER CONDITIONS IN THE WEST.
