TEMPS HAD WARMED INTO THE 70S IN MOST LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE OHIO VALLEY. ONCE AGAIN...FCST UPDATE FOCUSES ON CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL THIS AFTN. A COUPLE OF DIFFERENCES IN THE MEAN PATTERN EXIST TODAY VERSUS SAT/SUN THAT SHOULD LIMIT CONVECTIVE COVERAGE THIS AFTN...ESPECIALLY ACRS SW 1/2 FCST AREA. SHARPENING UPR TROF AXIS CURRENTLY PROGRESSING THRU FCST AREA. RUC/NAM BOTH INDCG DEEPER FORCING AND BETTER BL SHEAR WILL BE FOCUSED AHEAD OF S/WV AND EAST OF OUR REGION (ERN OHIO-WRN/CNTRL PA).

A ZONAL PATTERN SETS UP AND EVERY DAY BRINGS A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FROM WED MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY WITH THE OHIO VALLEY UNDER A VERY BROAD TROUGH...WITH OVERALL UNSTABLE PATTERN MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO TIME ACTIVITY. BETTER CHANCE FOR MORE WIDESPREAD ACTIVITY COMES ON FRIDAY...AS THE WARM FRONT WHICH LIFTS THROUGH THE AREA BEGINS THE PUSH ESE THROUGH THE DAY. GFS AND GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN A LITTLE SLOWER THAN THE ECMWF...THOUGH THE ECMWF MAINTAINS BETTER RUN TO RUN TIMING CONSISTENCY. HAVE GENERALLY GONE WITH A MIX BETWEEN THE TWO. CONFIDENCE ON TIMING STILL FAIRLY LOW...AS ENSEMBLES BECOME VERY SPREAD OUT ON THE TIMING OF WHEN THE H5 TROF MAKES THE PUSH EAST.
