.SHORT TERM(TNGT-SAT NGT)...
LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING FORECAST TOUGH...VORT MAX MOVING DOWN
INTO NE OHIO AND NW PA AT 18Z. AIRMASS STABLE ALONG THE LAKESHORE
ACCORDING TO THE RUC ATTM BECAUSE OF LAKE SHADOW...MUCH OF THE
DEVELOPMENT AT MID AFTERNOON WAS JUST SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA AND
JUST NORTH OF ERIE PA. THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DECREASE
AS THEY MOVE INTO THE LAKE. THE AIRMASS WILL BECOME MORE UNSTABLE
AFTER 00Z AS MORE MOISTURE MOVES IN AND THE LAKE SHADOW INFLUENCE
DECREASES. SINCE IT WILL BE LATE THIS MAY INHIBIT THE RISK OF
SEVERE. HOWEVER...THE WEST WILL HAVE A CHANCE THIS EVENING AS THE
MODELS HAVE SOME MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY. THE CHANCE IN THE EASTERN
COUNTIES IS ALL NIGHT BECAUSE THEY ARE IN LFQ OF AN UPPER JET AND
THE PVA IS MORE IN THAT AREA. THE SHORT WAVE MAY LINGER IN THE
EXTREME EAST FRIDAY AM BUT WITH IT DRYING OUT WILL KEEP IT DRY. HIGH
PRESSURE BEGINS TO BUILD IN FOR FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY NIGHT.
NAM AND GFS HINT AT SOME MOISTURE TRYING TO WORK INTO THE SOUTHWEST
PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA. WITH THE RIDGE IN THE AREA WILL JUST
GO WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SATURDAY. GUIDANCE TEMPERATURES FROM THE
MAV LOOK OK.

.LONG TERM (SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)...
THE MODELS HAVE A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE FOR SUNDAY. ON MONDAY A LOW
MOVES OVER SOUTHERN OHIO ACCORDING TO THE GFS...THE FORECAST AREA IS
ON THE EDGE WITH THE STRONG RIDGE STILL HANGING AROUND THE AREA. THE
EUROPEAN EVEN HAS THE LOW FARTEHR SOUTH. WITH QUESTIONS IN MIND WILL
JUST GO WITH A 20 POP...THE BEST CHANCE WOULD BE DURING THE DAY.
DIGEX...ECMWF AND GFS HAS THE RIDGE ACROSS OHIO TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY...DRY CONTINUES. FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY ANOTHER
LOW AFFECTS THE AREA. LOCATION OF THE LOW IS IN QUESTION
ATTM...DIGEX HAS IT NORTH WHILE THE GFS HAS IT OVER SOUTHERN OHIO...
