.AVIATION...
STALLED CDFNT EXTENDING FROM JUST NORTH OF IKK TO JUST SOUTH OF
FWA THIS MORNING. AREA OF SHOWERS/TSTMS NORTH OF THIS BOUNDARY HAS
LIFTED NORTH OF THE TERMINALS ATTM. MORE SHOWERS COULD DVLP
FARTHER SOUTH CLOSER TO THE BOUNDARY THIS MORNING BUT ATTM FELT
ODDS OF THAT HAPPENING WERE LOW. ANOTHER LARGE AREA OF TSTMS OVER
CENTRAL IL/IN FORMED NORTH OF WARM FRONT LOCATED FROM NRN MO-SRN
IN... HAS BEEN MOVG EAST AND SHOULD STAY SOUTH OF TERMINALS.
ANOTHER LARGE AREA OF STORMS OVER IA MOVG ESE/40KT. WARM FRONT
EXPECTED TO LIFT SLOWLY NORTH TODAY PROVIDING FAVORABLE
ENVIRONMENT TO MAINTAIN THE IA COMPLEX ALLOWING IT TO MOVE THROUGH
NRN INDIANA THIS AFTN/EVE. WITH WARM FRONT EXPECTED TO BE IN THE
VCNTY TONIGHT...EXPECT CIGS TO LOWER TO MVFR AT FWA AND IFR AT SBN
WITH A CONTINUATION OF RAIN AND MOISTENING OF LOW LEVELS.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 445 AM EDT TUE JUN 3 2008/

SHORT TERM...
TODAY THROUGH WED NGT...
WK CDFNT WHICH MOVED INTO THE AREA YDAY AFTN AND OVERNIGHT WILL
BECOME STNRY TODAY AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES EAST FROM KS. MCS OVER SRN
IA AND CENTRAL IL ALONG WARM FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LOW SEEMS TO
BE HAVING LITTLE IMPACT ON MOISTURE RETURN INTO OUR AREA AS VWP AT
CLE...IWX...LOT STILL SHOWING SWLY WINDS AT H85 OVERRUNNING THE
STALLED BOUNDARY IN OUR AREA. AS LOW MOVES EAST TODAY INFLOW INTO
STALLED FRONT SHOULD STRENGTHEN...ENHANCING OVERRUNNING. WK SHRTWV
MOVG INTO CENTRAL HI PLAINS THIS MORNING WILL MOVE RAPIDLY EAST
IN ZONAL FLOW ACROSS THE MID MS VALLEY THIS AFTN...FURTHER
ENHANCING POTENTIAL FOR CONVECTION. CONVERGENCE ALONG STNRY FRONT
SHOULD ALSO PROVIDE SOME LIFT PROMOTING CONVECTION. MOISTURE
TRANSPORT IN SWLY FLOW ALOFT FORECAST TO INCREASE PRECIP WATER INTO
THE 1.5-2 RANGE TODAY. THIS COMBINED WITH POTENTIAL FOR TRAINING
ECHOES ALONG AND NORTH OF STNRY BOUNDARY SUGGEST MENTION OF HEAVY
RAINFALL STILL WARRANTED IN GRIDS. ALSO ADDED RISK OF SVR WX THIS
AFTN AS DIURNAL HEATING/DESTABILIZATION COMBINED WITH STRONG
DIRECTIONAL AND SPEED SHEAR...ESPECIALLY IN CLOSEST PROXIMITY TO
STNRY FRONT OVER SRN PORTION OF CWA... SHOULD RESULT IN SOME
STRONGER UPDRAFTS...HAIL STORMS...AND POSSIBLY SUPERCELLS.

FRONT SHOULD REMAIN STNRY OVER THE AREA TONIGHT...ALTHOUGH
STRONGEST CONVERGENCE WILL SHIFT EAST INTO THE UPR OH VALLEY/LWR
GRTLKS REGION OVERNIGHT. STILL... WITH BOUNDARY REMAINING IN THE
AREA AND MOIST/UNSTABLE AIRMASS ALONG AND SOUTH OF IT AND WK SHRTWVS
MOVG ACROSS THE AREA IN ZONAL FLOW... GOOD POTENTIAL FOR MORE TSTMS
REMAINS. CONTD THREAT OF SVR STORMS INTO THE LATE EVE UNTIL SOME
DIURNAL STABILIZATION AND DECREASING FORCING LIKELY TO OCCUR.

ON WED SFC LOW OVER CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS WILL STRENGTHEN IN RESPONSE
TO DEEPENING UPR TROF MOVG INTO THE WRN U.S.. THIS WILL RESULT IN
INCREASING/BACKING WINDS AGAIN SW OF STNRY BOUNDARY IN OUR AREA
ENHANCING TSTMS CHANCES. ONE NEGATIVE TO STORM DEVELOPMENT HWVR IS
UPR RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO BUILD OVER ERN U.S. IN RESPONSE TO
DEEPENING WRN TROF. THIS SHOULD LIMIT INSTABILITY AS LAPSE RATES
DECREASE A BIT.

WED NGT THE WRN UPR TROF WILL PUSH EAST CAUSING ASSOCIATED SFC LOW
AND FRONT TO LIFT NE. THIS MAY KICK OFF SOME TSTMS IN OUR AREA BUT
DECREASING CHANCES FROM S-N OVERNIGHT AS CAPPED WARM SECTOR
OVERSPREADS THE CWA.

TEMPS WILL BE HELD DOWN TODAY COMPARED TO YDAY DUE TO ELY
FLOW...CLOUD COVER AND SHOWERS. WITH RIDGING ALOFT DVLPG ON WED AND
PRBLY LESS COVERAGE OF TSTMS TEMPS SHOULD BE A LITTLE WARMER...BACK
INTO THE U60S-L70S WITH INCRSG SLY FLOW IN WARM SECTOR WED NGT
KEEPING TEMPS FM FALLING BLO M-U60S.

LONG TERM...
THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY...OVERALL...THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN WILL
NOT CHANGE MUCH AS AN UPPER LEVEL TROF WILL BE QUASISTATIONARY OVER
THE WEST CONUS AND AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BE TO THE EAST. FOR
THIS PACKAGE...WILL CONTINUE WITH THE ECMWF AS THE MODEL OF CHOICE
GIVEN HANDLING OF THIS PATTERN THE LAST FEW DAYS. WITH THE TROF
WEST/RIDGE EAST SET UP...VERY WARM CONDITIONS WILL BE AT HAND
THURSDAY AS AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS NORTH OF THE OHIO RIVER IN
RESPONSE TO THE UPPER TROF DIGGING UPSTREAM. THE MID LEVEL CAP WILL
STRENGTHEN THURSDAY AS SUBSIDENCE INCREASES...SO ANY STORM COVERAGE
WILL BE VERY LIMITED. TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE CLOSE TO 90F
THURSDAY...AND AGAIN ON FRIDAY GIVEN VERY WARM 850 MB TEMPS OF 22C
PER ECMWF. CORRESPONDING HEAT INDICES SHOULD BE IN THE MID 90S...NOT
ENOUGH FOR A HEAT ADVISORY...BUT ENOUGH TO MENTION IN THE HWO GIVEN
THE FIRST VERY WARM EVENT OF THE SEASON.  CONCERN PERSISTS FOR
SEVERE WEATHER CHANCES LATE FRIDAY AND FRIDAY EVENING AS A LARGE
PIECE OF ENERGY EJECTS NORTHEAST OUT OF THE MAIN UPPER TROF AND
TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES REGION. DIURNAL TIMING LOOKS FAVORABLE FOR
SEVERE WEATHER...ALONG WITH SUFFICIENT UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT AND
ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE. AFTER FRIDAY NIGHT...THERE SHOULD BE A
BREAK IN STORM ACTIVITY AS THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS BACK INTO
THE AREA AND TEMPERATURES REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 140 AM EDT TUE JUN 3 2008/

AVIATION...
WK CDFNT WHICH MOVED INTO NRN INDIANA WAS BECOMING PARALLEL TO MID
LEVEL FLOW AND WILL BECOME BECOME NRNLY STNRY FM W-E ACROSS THE
AREA TODAY. MOIST/UNSTABLE AIRMASS OVER-RUNNING THE FRONT ALONG WITH
CONVERGENCE IN ITS VCNTY WILL RESULT IN CONVECTION CONTINUING TO
AFFECT THE TERMINALS THROUGH THE PD. DIFFICULT TO PIN DOWN TIMING
OF TSTMS IN THIS SITUATION...SO ONLY MENTIONED TSRA EARLY IN THE PD
WITH VCTS/CB THEREAFTER. LOW LEVELS WILL BE SLOW TO SATURATE...BUT
SHOULD SEE CIGS LOWERING TO MVFR OR IFR IN THE AREA BY TONIGHT AS
FRONT AND PRECIP LINGER IN THE AREA.
