320 PM EDT THU MAY 15 2003

SURFACE ANALYSIS INDICATES SURFACE LOW BETWEEN BETWEEN KSDF AND KCVG
WITH FRONTAL BOUNDARY THEN PUSHING NORTH INTO WESTERN OHIO OVER TO
LAKE ERIE.  KILN SHOWING DEEP CONVECTION ALONG TD BOUNDARY MAINLY
JUST SOUTH OF OHIO RIVER BEFORE MAKING IT NORTH NEAR PORTSMOUTH.

MODELS LOOK PRETTY GOOD THROUGH 36 HOURS THEN THEY DIFFER BEGINNING
FRIDAY NIGHT.  GFS IS STILL BRINGING CONVECTION INTO SOUTHERN FA.
IT HAS TRENDED FARTHER SOUTH THE LAST FEW DAYS.  ETA IS STILL DRY.
WILL KEEP SMALL POPS GOING ACROSS THE SOUTH.

AS FOR OVERNIGHT.  WILL KEEP POPS MENTIONED IN THE WEST FOR THE
EVENING AND LIKELY IN THE EAST.  SYNOPTICALLY THE MID LEVEL TROF IS
GOING TO A NEGATIVE TILT AND GOOD SYNOPTIC LIFT IS TAKING PLACE.
HOWEVER THE BETTER INSTABILITY IS LOCATED ALONG THE TD BOUNDARY
ALONG SOUTHERN FA BORDER.  THINK CONVECTION HAS A CHANCE OF STRONG
TO SEVERE IN THE EAST...WHERE A LITTLE MORE DAYTIME HEATING IS
TAKING PLACE.

MAV TEMPS LOOK PRETTY GOOD...EXCEPT FOR SATURDAY WHERE IT SEEMS A
COUPLE DEGREES TO COOL.

.ILN...NONE.
