.SHORT RANGE... THROUGH WEDNESDAY

WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS S/W AXIS FM  ARKANSAS NEWD UP THE OHIO
RIVER AT MID AFTN...WITH PLUME OF HIGH LVL MOISTURE ENCOMPASSING
OUR FORECAST AREA (FA).  S/W AXIS WILL PIVOT EWD TNGT AND THRU E
FA AREAS LATE TNGT.  WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES FM 1.75-2.00
INCHES...AND S/W INTERACTING WITH UNSTABLE AIRMASS..WE WILL KEEP
HVY RAIN MENTIONED THIS EVNG WITH SCT SHWRS/TSTMS. LATER TNGT DO
THINK OUR WRN AREAS WILL HAVE A PAUSE ALTHOUGH LATE NITE TROPICAL
LIKE SHWRS AGAIN PSBL FAR SOUTH AND EAST HAVE. MEANWHILE SEVERAL
CLUSTERS OF TSTMS GATHERING TO OUR NORTH AND PROBABLY WILL JELL
INTO A CONVECTIVE COMPLEX TNGT. THICKNESS PTN SUGGESTS THAT IS
SHUD STAY TO OUR NORTH.

WILL LIKELY HAVE AN OUTFLOW BNDRY SENT DOWN INTO PARTS OF OUR NRN
FA ON MONDAY...WHILE UPSTREAM S/W IN THE WRN GREAT LAKES HEADS
RPDLY SEWD INTO THE OHIO VLY. CUD BE A CONVECTIVE SYS DVLP WITH THIS
S/W...WHICH WOULD CLIP PARTS OF OUR FA MONDAY. INTENSIFYING WIND
FIELDS AT H5 SUGGESTS WIND DAMAGE POTENTIAL WILL BE ON THE INCREASE
ESPECIALLY ERN 1/2 OF FA.

A BIT OF RIDGING ALOFT BUILDS INTO ALL OF OUR FA MONDAY NITE...
AND WILL KEEP FCST DRY.

MORE ENERGY SWINGS INTO THE OHIO VLY...ON THE SRN EDGE OF THE WLYS

TUE NITE AND WEDNESDAY WILL OFFER MORE TSTM CHANCES AS FRONTAL BNDRY
SAGS SOUTH AND INTERACTS WITH UNSTABLE AIRMASS AND SEEMINGLY ENDLESS
S/WS IN FLOW.

.EXTENDED THOUGHTS...

SHORT WAVE THAT DELAYS COLD FRONT A DAY FROM PREVIOUS RUNS...FROM
THURSDAY TO FRIDAY...A GOOD BET TO PRODUCE A ROUND OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WITH COLD FRONT OF ITS OWN. WITH PASSAGE OF THIS
SYSTEM...EXPECT BRIEF COOLER AND LESS HUMID AIR...BUT WITH RISING
HEIGHTS DURING THE WEEKEND...SEE HOTTEST WEATHER OF THE SUMMER SO
FAR...AND LITTLE OR NO RAIN.

.LMK...NONE.
