.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. IN ITS WAKE...MUCH COOLER WEATHER CAN BE EXPECTED FOR MID
WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
UPDATED ZONES TO MENTION NEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH FOR THE
ENTIRE CWA BUT PERRY AND MORGAN COUNTIES IN SOUTHEAST OH.

ADDITIONAL SEVERE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG THE COLD
FRONT LOCATED ACROSS SOUTHEAST OH...DROPPING SOUTHEAST ACROSS WEST
VIRGINIA THRU THIS EVENING. KEPT POPS AND WEATHER AS THEY LOOK
REPRESENTATIVE OF EXPECTED CONDITIONS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
BEHIND THE FRONT ON TUESDAY...MUCH DRIER AIR BUILDS INTO THE REGION
AND WITH THE DEVELOPING UPPER LOW STILL FAR ENOUGH NORTH...NORTH OF
THE GREAT LAKES STILL...SHOULD SEE VERY TRANQUIL CONDITIONS WITH
ONLY SOME DAY TIME CU FORMING.  SO HAVE REMOVED THE MENTION OF ANY
SHOWERS ON TUESDAY.  BUT BY TUESDAY NIGHT...THE FIRST OF SEVERAL
SHORTWAVE ROTATES UNDERNEATH THE CLOSED LOW AND SWEEP ACROSS THE
OHIO VALLEY.  THE 00Z NAM AND THE 00Z GFS BOTH HAD THIS SHORTWAVE
MOVING THROUGH...BUT COMING AT NIGHT AND WITH THE MOISTURE BEING
LIMITED HAVE JUST ADDED SOME SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS AS THIS WAVE MOVES THROUGH.

ON WEDNESDAY...THE NEXT SHORTWAVE HAS A BIT BETTER TIMING COMING IN
THE AFTERNOON AND WITH THE DAY TIME HEATING CONTRIBUTING TO THE LIFT
AND THE CU FIELD...COULD AGAIN SEE SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS POP UP SO
HAVE ADDED MORE POPS DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS.  THIS PATTERN LOOKS
TO REPEAT ON THURSDAY AS WELL AS THE TROUGH AXIS WITH THE UPPER LOW
FINALLY PASSES THE REGION.

FOR TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE PERIOD...HAVE LEANED FOR TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY TOWARD THE COOLER MET NUMBERS AS THE MAV HAS BEEN RUNNING
TOO WARM AND WITH THE 850 TEMPERATURES IT IS FORECASTING CAN NOT
SUPPORT THE MAV NUMBERS.  FOR LOWS AT NIGHT...THE SLIGHTLY WARMER
MET LOOKED A LITTLE BETTER AS THE RADIATIVE CONDITIONS WILL NOT BE
IDEAL...ESPECIALLY TUESDAY NIGHT AS CLOUDS WILL BE MOVING THROUGH
THE AREA.  ON THURSDAY...LOWERED THE PREVIOUS FCST TOWARD THE LATEST
MEX NUMBERS WHICH ARE WELL BELOW NORMAL AND IT SHOULD BE COOLER
BASED ON THE 850 TEMP FCST.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
SYSTEM FINALLY MOVES OUT OF THE GREAT LAKES ON THURSDAY...WITH RIDGE
BUILDING IN LATE THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.  MODELS SHOWING WEAK ENERGY
COMING OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST.  THIS WILL ARRIVE FOR SATURDAY AND PUSH
THROUGH BY SUNDAY.  INTRODUCED POPS WITH THIS FEATURE.

TEMPS THROUGH THE PERIOD BLEND OF MOS/HPC AND CURRENT GRIDS.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
18Z MONDAY THRU 18Z TUESDAY...

VIRGINIA...ARE SHIFTING INTO NORTHEASTERN PART OF THE AREA EARLY
