.DISCUSSION...
THE STRONG UPPER LEVEL LOW CONTINUES TO SPIN NORTHEAST THIS
AFTERNOON WITH SHOWERS AND ISOLATED STORMS ONGOING OVER MUCH OF THE
FORECAST AREA IN CYCLONIC FLOW. THE SEVERE THREAT CONTINUES TO BE
LOW WITH CLOUDS LIMITING INSTABILITY. AS THE SFC LOW LIFTS TO THE
NORTH TONIGHT AND FRIDAY...A TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL
INCREASE THE WESTERLY WIND ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTH OVERNIGHT
INTO FRIDAY. THE STRONGEST WINDS SHOULD REMAIN TO THE NORTH AND WILL
NOT ISSUE ANY ADVISORIES AT THIS TIME FOR TONIGHT OR FRIDAY. LIGHT
SHOWERS COULD LINGER INTO FRIDAY OVER THE NORTHEAST BEFORE A NICE
WARM-UP ON SATURDAY. 850MB TEMPS WILL SURGE WELL INTO THE TEENS WITH
PLENTY OF SUN AND SOUTHWEST FLOW. HAVE RAISED MAX TEMPS INTO THE
MID/UPPER 70S SOUTHWEST BUT WILL NOT GO AS HIGH AS MOS GUIDANCE JUST
YET.

LOOKING AHEAD TO THE NEXT SYSTEM...THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS HAD BEEN
ENTRENCHED IN TWO CAMPS...THE GFS/NAM WITH A MORE PROGRESSIVE UPPER
TROUGH AND SFC FRONT AND THE ECMWF/GEM HANGING ONTO A CLOSED LOW AND
A SLOWER SOLUTION. THE NEW 12Z ECMWF IS NOW MORE PROGRESSIVE AND
SIMILAR TO THE GFS...AND LENDS CREDENCE TO SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY
BEING THE MAIN TIME FRAME FOR RAIN. DEEP LAYER MOISTURE DOES NOT
LOOK THAT IMPRESSIVE AT THIS POINT AND I WOULD NOT EXPECT NEAR THE
WIDESPREAD RAINFALL AMOUNTS AS THE ONGOING EVENT. THE REMAINDER OF
THE FORECAST PERIOD...TUES THRU THURS...SHOULD BE DRY WITH
SEASONABLY COOL TEMPERATURES.

&&

.AVIATION...19/00Z
SURFACE LOW NOTED OVER ERN MN AT 00Z WITH BROAD CYCLONIC CIRCULATION
ENCOMPASSING MUCH OF THE MIDWEST.  MAINLY MVFR CLOUDS WRAPPING
AROUND LOW WHICH WILL HOLD ON WITH SHOWERS THROUGH 05-10Z.  WINDS
WILL ALSO BECOME GUSTY AS LOW MOVES AWAY WITH GUSTS 25-30KTS COMMON
FRI MORNING.

.DMX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE.
