RAPID UPDATE OF THE FORECAST FOR CURRENT RADAR AND SATELLITE TRENDS.
WILL ALSO ADD THE POSSIBILITY OF LARGE HAIL FOR A BAND IN CENTRAL WV
AND NORTHEAST KY AND SOUTHEAST OH.

&&

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
(ISSUED 300 PM EDT FRI MAY 13 2005)

SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT)...

INSTABILITY WEST OF MOUNTAINS THIS EVE WILL MEAN TSTORMS UNTIL SUN
GOES DOWN.  HAVE PLAYED THE APPROACH OF PRECIPITATION TONIGHT LATE
AS ETA IS FASTEST OF MODEL AND IT HOLDS THINGS WEST OF OHIO RIVER.
RAISED MINS TONIGHT WITH GRADIENT INCREASING.

INCREASED TEMPS A COUPLE OF DEGREES ACROSS THE BOARD FOR
SATURDAY...WHICH WILL RESULT IN HIGHS RIGHT AROUND 80 DEGREES FOR
ALL BUT HIGHEST LOCATIONS IN CWA.

NAM INITIALLY QUICKER WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE...THEN SLOWS DOWN THE
HIGH PRESSURE MOVING IN SUNDAY EVENING...BUT OVERALL PRETTY
CONSISTENT WITH GFS SOLUTION.  WITH PLENTY OF CLOUDS AROUND WILL
KICK UP SATURDAY NIGHT/SUNDAY MORNING TEMPS AS WELL.  GUIDANCE
VALUES HERE ARE VERY WITHIN A COUPLE OF DEGREES OF EACH OTHER HERE.
WITH HIGH PRESSURE NOT IN A HURRY TO BUILD IN...LINGERING MOISTURE
AND SOME INSTABILITY MAY LEAD TO A FEW SHOWERS SUNDAY AFTERNOON
ACROSS THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE EASTERN CWA.

A PRETTY GOOD COOL DOWN IS FIGURED FOR SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY
MORNING...AS 850MB TEMPS FALL TO -1C BY 12Z MONDAY.

HOURS...ARE BEGINNING TO Q UP.  WILL WATCH THE POP UP SHOWERS ACROSS
E KY AND W VA...AS THEY NEAR BKW.  HAVE INCLUDED THE POSSIBILITY OF
A THUNDERSTORM HERE FOR MID AFTERNOON.  OTHERWISE...VFR CONDITIONS
ALL AROUND.  HIGH PRESSURE TO OUR SOUTHEAST IS WORKING HARD TO KEEP
THE AFTERNOON CUMULUS FROM FORMING...BUT IN A LOSING BATTLE.  OVER
THE NEXT 18 HOURS...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO DOMINATE.
HOWEVER...TOWARDS THE END OF THE PERIOD COLD FRONT WILL ENTER THE
PICTURE FROM THE WEST.  WILL NEED TO LOWER CEILINGS AND START THE
MENTION OF SHOWERS AND EVEN THE POSSIBILITY OF A THUNDERSTORM AFTER
DAY BREAK SATURDAY.  BY 18Z...THE COLD FRONT WILL BE ACROSS WESTERN
OHIO.  WINDS WILL ALSO BE ON THE INCREASE SATURDAY WITH WINDS AROUND
10 TO 15 KTS COMMON...WITH HIGHER GUSTS.

LONG TERM (TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)...

HPC UTILIZED A MIDDLE OF THE ROAD APPROACH BETWEEN THE AMPLIFIED

TO THE ECMWF SOLUTION...BUT DID KICK THE COLD FRONT FOR THE MIDDLE
OF NEXT WEEK TO OUR EAST QUICKER...SIMILAR TO THE GFS FOR DAYS 6 AND
7.
