THIS AFTERNOON WITH CLEARING. BEST SURFACE INSTABILITY OVER EC WI
WHERE A BIT MORE SUN. NOTED LAKE BREEZE BOUNDARY FOR A POSSIBLE

LAYERS AND LOW LFC/LCL LEVELS THIS AFTERNOON BUT CLOUDS LIFTING.
12Z DATA TO THE WEST INDICATE STRONG H5/H7 WINDS WITH THIS
JETLET. BUT CLOUDS EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON HAVE PUT A HOLD ON
CONVECTION DEVELOPING SO FAR THIS AFTERNOON...BUT DUE EXPECT SOME
LATE AFTN AND EVENING DEVELOPMENT ESP NORTH.  MODELS PROGGING
CONVECTION TO DEVELOP OVERNIGHT OVER NE/IA AGAIN ALONG RRQ REGION
OF JETLET REGION AND CAP EDGE OVER THIS REGION. THIS CONVECTION
SHOULD PASS WELL SOUTH OF THE FA OVERNIGHT.

WILL CONTINUE THE MAINLY AFTN INSTAB CHC MENTION MONDAY AS THE
UPPER TROF CONTINUES TO DROP SOUTH AND DEEPENS OVER THE AREA. GFS
AND NAM DIVERT ON TUESDAY WITH THE SLOWER GFS HANGING THE TROF
BACK AND INDICATING A CHC FOR AT LEAST AFTN INSTAB PCPN. THE NAM
IS MORE PROGRESSIVE WITH THE TROF EXITING EAST AND DRIER FILTERING
IN. GLANCE AT THE ECMWF SUGGESTS A SLOWER TREND OF THE TROF AXIS
DROPPING OVER THE SOUTHEAST HALF OF WI SO ADDED AN AFTN INSTAB CHC
FOR THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE FCST AREA.

CONTINUED THE DRY FCST AFTER TUESDAY AS THE UPPER RIDGE AND
SURFACE RIDGE DOMINATES MID WEEK.  RIDGE BREAKS DOWN WITH WEAK
SHORT WAVE TROF PASSING OVER GREAT LAKES REGION THURSDAY INTO
FRIDAY. LATEST TREND IS SLOWER SO WILL CONFINE START TIME TO THE
THRU AFTERNOON TIME FRAME AND DEPARTURE FRIDAY AFTERNOON OVER FAR
EAST. THE MDM RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO PROG THIS EVENT BUT
ANTICIPATE TIMING ADJUSTMENTS LATER IN THE WEEK. BUT SINCE THIS
SYSTEM IS FAIRLY QUICK...CONFINED PCPN CHCS TO 24 HOURS OR LESS.

ANOTHER RIDGE BUILDS INTO THE WEEKEND FOR ANOTHER DRY PERIOD. SOME
PROGS INDICATE ANOTHER SHORT WAVE TROF TO BEGIN WORKING OVER AND
FLATTENING THE UPPER RIDGE OVER NRN PLAINS. BUT IT APPEARS LATE
