AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED

458 PM EDT SUN MAY 30 2004

UPDATED FOR WATCH IN OHIO

.DISCUSSION...
MINOR TWEEKS ON TEMPERATURES THE NEXT FEW DAYS...MAINLY BUMPED THEM
UP TONIGHT AND DOWN A LITTLE TOMORROW PER CLOUD COVER AND PASSAGE OF
FRONT, RESPECTIVELY.

WENT WITH CATEGORICAL POPS AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT THIS EVENING AND
ESPECIALLY OVERNIGHT. INITIAL THINKING EARLIER WAS FOR WIDELY
SCATTERED CONVECTION IN THE WARM SECTOR BUT LOOKING AT THE IMAGES
ACROSS THE OHVLY...HAVE JUST JUMPED THIS TO SCATTERED THIS EVENING
WELL AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. CATEGORICAL POPS RUN THROUGH EARLY
TOMORROW WITH A FAIRLY PRONOUNCED W-E CUTOFF IN THE MORNING/EARLY
AFTERNOON. SFC GRADIENT TIGHTENS UP AND WIND SHOULD PICK UP BEHIND
FRONT AS WELL DURING THE DAY.

ENOUGH SPIN NOTED IN THE WARM SECTOR ATTM THAT A LOT OF THE STORMS
ARE ROTATING AND THIS ROTATION IS MAKING IT TO THE GROUND IN SOME
CASES. MODELS SUGGESTING THAT THE SPIN WILL BE NE OF FCST AREA WITH
SOME ROTATORS IN THE SW THIS EVENING. AS COLD FRONT APPROACHES
TONIGHT...AMS SHOULD BE MODIFIED SLIGHTLY AHEAD OF IT...AND THE
TIMING FOR ADDITIONAL KICK WITH DAYTIME HEATING IS NOT THAT
FAVORABLE. AM NOT 100% ON HOW SEVERE THESE STORMS WILL BE
OVERNIGHT...THOUGH THE HEAVY RAINERS WILL DEFINITELY BE PRESENT. IN
EITHER CASE...HAVE HIGHLIGHTED THE POTENTIAL FOR FLOOD AND WIND
EVENTS TONIGHT.

AFTER PASSAGE OF COLD FRONT LATE TONIGHT...PRECIP SHOULD CUT OFF FOR
QUITE A WHILE DURING THE DAY MONDAY ALTHOUGH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS
WILL PERSIST OVER NRN CWA OVERNIGHT DUE TO PROXIMITY OF COLD POOL
AND ASSOC H5 LOW IN THE SRN GTLKS.

DAYTIME HEATING ON TUES MAY SPARK A FEW SHOWERS AND INSTABILITY
NOTED CANT RULE OUT ISOLD THUNDER. AM NOT PLAYING IT UP ATTM AND
ANYTHING WONT HAVE THE SUPPORT TO BE SEVERE...BUT THE CHANCE OF
PRECIP DESERVES A MENTION.

GETTING GEARED FOR SVR TONIGHT...UPDATES TO FCST AND AFD SHOULD BE
EXPECTED AS NECESSARY.
