THANKS TO SDF FOR POINING OUT MISTAKE IN MISILN.

SFC FRONT STILL IN NRN FCST AREA BUT PRESSURE RIDGE AND DIFFERENTIAL
HEATING CAUSING SHOWERS TO THE SOUTH. EXPECT BEST STORMS TO BE ALONG
AND SOUTH OF OHIO RIVER THIS EVENING...WITH A SLOW PROGRESSION
NORTHWARD TOWARDS FRONT AS HEATING IS LOST.

TEMPS SHOULD REBOUND TOMORROW AS SOUTHERLY WINDS KICK IN FOR ANOTHER
DAY AS PLAINS SYSTEM MOVES NORTHEAST. CUT BACK A LITTLE ON
HIGHS...BUT WAS STILL THINKING WARM. CONVERGENT BAND LOOKING LIKE A
COLD FRONT WEDNESDAY PM SHOULD NOT COOL TEMPERATURES TOO MUCH AND
THURSDAY SHOULD SEE ONLY A SLOW RISE IN TEMPS AS WINDS TURN
NORTHWEST.

CHANCE FOR SHOWERS IN EXTENDED SHOULD MAINLY FOCUS IN NORTHEAST AND
FAR NORTH WITH NORTHWEST FLOW...AND CONFIDENCE DECREASES IN LATTER
PERIODS.

MISILN OUT.

.ILN...NONE.

SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
1140 AM EDT TUE APR 10 2001

...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...

THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS INDICATED A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY TODAY.

A STATIONARY BOUNDARY BISECTING INDIANA AND OHIO TODAY WILL AGAIN
PROVIDE THE FOCUS FOR SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ACROSS THE
OHIO VALLEY. STORMS DEVELOPING ALONG AND SOUTH OF THIS BOUNDARY WILL
LIKELY INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER...POSSIBLY PRODUCING LARGE HAIL AND
DAMAGING WINDS. ISOLATED TORNADOS CANNOT BE RULED OUT.

DUE TO THE HEAVY RAINFALL LAST NIGHT FROM NORTH OF DAYTON TO SOUTH OF
COLUMBUS...THE THREAT FOR FLASH FLOODING IS ALSO VERY REAL.
THUNDERSTORMS PASSING OVER THIS AREA TODAY COULD PRODUCE ADDITIONAL
RAINFALL AMOUNTS FROM ONE TO THREE INCHES IN A BRIEF PERIOD OF
TIME.

THE MAIN THREAT FOR SEVERE STORMS WILL BE ALONG AND SOUTH OF
INTERSTATE 70...THOUGH THE ENTIRE REGION SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR BAD
WEATHER. BE ABLE TO ACT ON SHORT NOTICE IF A WARNING IS ISSUED.

SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE REQUIRED AGAIN TODAY AND TONIGHT. STAY
TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO AND LOCAL MEDIA OUTLETS FOR THE LATEST
INFORMATION.
