UPPER AIR PATTERN CURRENTLY DEPICTS A QUITE STRONG RIDGE CENTERED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES...EXTENDING EASTWARD ACROSS MISSOURI. A SHARP BUT PROGRESSIVE TROUGH IS CURRENTLY ACROSS THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES...AND WILL MOVE INTO WESTERN NEW ENGLAND BY LATE TOMORROW. LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ACROSS MICHIGAN BY EARLY SATURDAY...TRAILING A COLD FRONT THAT WILL CROSS THE OHIO RIVER EARLY TOMORROW. THE MOST IMMEDIATE QUESTION CENTERS ON PRECIPITATION CHANCES THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

THIS IS PRODUCING CONVECTION THAT WILL CONTINUE ACROSS OUR NORTHERN COUNTIES THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON. WEAK LAPSE RATES AND A LACK OF SURFACE CONVERGENCE IS PRECLUDING ADDITIONAL CONVECTION FROM BUILDING SOUTH FROM THIS AREA.

ALTHOUGH LAPSE RATES ARE NOT STEEP...ATMOSPHERE IS QUITE MOIST...WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES NEAR 2 INCHES THROUGH THIS EVENING. ANY STORMS THAT FORM ON ANY EAST/WEST BOUNDARIES MAY TRAIN...PRODUCING LOCALLY EXCESSIVE RAINS AND RUNOFF PROBLEMS.
