SHORT TERM /OVERNIGHT/...
FRNTL BNDRY HAS NOT MOVED MUCH FURTHER SOUTH OVER LAST FEW
HOURS...NOW RUNNING FROM NEAR KZZV...TO CHILLICOTHE SW INTO NRN
KY. EXPECT FRNTL BNDRY WILL MOVE LITTLE OVER NEXT SVRL HOURS AS
DVLPG SFC LO OVER WRN TENNESSEE LIFTS NE INTO INDIANA BY DAYBREAK.
A TRAILING STRONG COLD FRONT WILL TRACK INTO THE REGION TOWARDS
DAYBREAK AND ACRS THE ENTIRE FCST AREA BY LATE MRNG. 00Z MODEL
DATA HINTING AT A THIN CONVECTIVE LINE ALONG THE COLD FRONT WITH
POTENTIAL FOR VERY STRONG WINDS. 00Z NAM/RUC BOTH INDCG 65-75 KT
850 MB WINDS ALONG FRNTL BNDRY...AND MODEL SOUNDINGS SUPPORT MUCH
OF THESE WINDS LIKELY TO GET TO THE SFC. BNDRY LYR FLO WILL THEN
REMAIN STRONG THRU MUCH OF THE DAY FRI WITH GUSTY WINDS AT 50 TO
60 MPH POSSIBLE. HAVE THEREFORE UPGRADED THE HIGH WIND WATCH TO A

SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
STILL DIFFERENCES IN THE DETAILS WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE SFC LOW
LATE TNGT INTO FRI. GFS IS THE FARTHER WEST WITH THE LOW BY 12Z
FRI AND SWINGS COLD AIR INTO THE SW THE QUICKEST. THE NAM AND NGM
ARE FARTHER S AND E WITH THE LOW AND DELAY THE CAA A FEW MORE
HOURS. HAVE LEANED TOWARDS A NAM/NGM COMPROMISE...SO HAVE GONE
WARMER THAN THE GFS TONIGHT.

SPEAKING OF TONIGHT...AREA OF PCPN ACROSS IN/NW OH WILL WORK SLOWLY
EAST TONIGHT AS FRONT SLIDES A LITTLE FARTHER EAST. WILL CONTINUE WITH
100 POPS EVERYWHERE. BOTH MODELS ARE SHOWING ELEVATED
INSTABILITY...BUT MAINLY SE OF DAY.  TRIMMED THE THUNDER BACK A LITTLE.

HAVE DECIDED TO EXPAND THE HIGH WIND WATCH TO THE ENTIRE CWA.
MODELS HAVE 50 TO 70 KTS AT H8 AND IF A SHRA NEAR THE SFC LOW POPS
HIGH ENOUGH IT COULD PULL DOWN WARNING CRITERIA WINDS. EXPECT THE
GUSTS TO GENERALLY BE IN THE 40 TO 45 KT RANGE WHICH WOULD BE
ADVISORY. WITH ALL THE UNCERTAINTY...FELT WATCH WAS THE BEST WAY
TO GO. HAVE LEFT THUNDER IN THE S EARLY ON FRI WITH ELEVATED
INSTABILITY POSSIBLE UNTIL THE LOW GOES BY.

MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW THAT CLOUD TOP TEMPS WILL BE WARMER THAN -10C
FOR MUCH OF THE EVENT ON FRI AND THEREFORE ICE CRYSTALS WILL BE
LACKING FOR SNOW PRODUCTION. HAVE ADDED MENTION OF DRIZZLE ALONG WITH
THE SNOW FOR FRI AFTN...BUT STILL HAVE MY DOUBTS ABOUT THE SNOW.
HAVE KNOCKED DOWN THE SNOW AMOUNTS SOME MORE.

SYSTEM PULLS OUT QUICKLY AND WILL SW TO W FLOW...DONT EXPECT LAKE
EFFECT ON THE BACKSIDE...SO DRIED OUT FRI FNT ALONG WITH BREAKING
UP THE CLOUDS.

HIGH PRESSURE FOR SAT AND SAT NGT.

MENTIONED TEMP FORECAST FOR TONIGHT EARLIER. WENT WITH A MET/FWC
MOS BLEND FOR HIGHS ON FRI....BUT TRIED TO SWING COLD AIR IN
QUICKER IN THE AFTN THAN THE FWC TREND WOULD SUGGEST.

TEMPS FRI NGT INTO SAT NGT WAS A BLEND OF GUIDANCE ...BUT NOT TOO
FAR FROM THE GFS MOS.

SITES

LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...

THIS WILL RESULT IN COOL AND MAINLY DRY WEATHER FOR ILN AREA. SUNDAY

COUNTIES SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY. LAKE ENHANCEMENT MAY COME
INTO PLAY DURING THAT PERIOD. AFTER HIGH PRESSURE AND DRY AIR
OVERSPREADS THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY...A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE
TRAVELING NEAR THE GULF COAST MAY THROW SOME MOISTURE INTO THE OHIO
VALLEY IN THE FORM OF SNOW.
