711 AM EDT THU MAY 28 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER SOUTHWESTERN LOWER MICHIGAN WILL
MOVE NORTHEAST ACROSS SOUTHERN ONTARIO LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT. A
COLD FRONT EXTENDING TO THE SOUTHWEST FROM THE LOW WILL MOVE INTO
WESTERN OHIO THIS MORNING...MOVING SLOWLY EAST TO WESTERN
PENNSYLVANIA THIS EVENING. A WEAK TROUGH WILL MOVE ACROSS THE
REGION ON FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
JUST A FEW THUNDERSTORMS OVER NORTHWEST OHIO EARLY THIS MORNING.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD AGAIN LATER
THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON AS SURFACE COLD FRONT STARTS TO MOVE
ACROSS THE AREA AND A MID LEVEL TROUGH APPROACHES. CONTINUED WITH
LIKELY OR CATEGORICAL POPS ACROSS THE AREA TODAY...GRADUALLY
INCREASING FROM CHANCE POPS EARLY THIS MORNING. SPCS SLIGHT RISK
IS WELL TO THE SOUTH OF THE AREA BUT LIKE YESTERDAY A FEW STORMS

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
FRONT STILL TO CLEAR EASTERN AREAS EARLY TONIGHT AND UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH STILL MOVING THROUGH...CONTINUED WITH CHANCE POPS IN THE
WEST AND LIKELY POPS EAST EARLY...TAPERING TO JUST CHANCE OF
SHOWERS LATE. WEAK TROUGH ROTATES THROUGH ON FRIDAY. BOTH NAM AND
GFS OUTPUT SMALL AMOUNT QPF ON FRIDAY..BUT OVERALL LOOKS LIKE AIR MASS
SHOULD BE TO DRY AND CAPPED SO LEFT THE THREAT OF SHOWERS OUT FOR
NOW. NAM BRINGS STRONG MID LEVEL S/W SE INTO MID OHIO VALLEY LATE
FRIDAY NIGHT AND EARLY SATURDAY THAT WOULD AFFECT WESTERN AREAS. GFS
MUCH WEAKER WITH THIS AND NOT SHOWING ANY PRECIP IN THE FORECAST
AREA...PREFERRED GFS SOLUTION. HOWEVER A COLD FRONT DOES MOVE
THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT...BRINGING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO THE AREA SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND SATURDAY NIGHT.
THEN HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN AND SHOULD PROVIDE DRY WEATHER SUNDAY
INTO MONDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
MODELS CONTINUE TO PUSH FRONT ACROSS THE AREA MONDAY NIGHT INTO
TUESDAY BUT THE TIMING DIFFERS SIGNIFICANTLY WITH THE GFS BEING A
GOOD 6 HOURS FASTER WITH THE FRONT THAN THE ECMWF.   LEANED TOWARD
THE FASTER GFS SO WENT SCATTERED PRECIP MONDAY NIGHT WITH JUST
CHANCE POPS ON TUESDAY.  HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN LATE TUESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY...WITH THE GFS AGAIN FASTER WITH THE HIGH...AS THE ECMWF
TRIES TO DEVELOP A WAVE ALONG THE BOUNDARY.

&&

.AVIATION /11Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
CURRENTLY FRONT STALLED FROM NW PA ACROSS LAKE ERIE TO A WEAK LOW
SOUTH OF KDTW...THEN SW TO SRN ILLINIOS. EXPECT SCATTERED TSRA TO
POP UP THIS MORNING NEAR THE BOUNDARY FOR A FEW HOURS THIS MORNING.
MORE WIDESPREAD TSRA TO DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE FRONT THIS AFTERNOON
AFTER 19Z. EXPECT TSRA TO MOVE SE OF THE AREA BY LATE THIS EVENING
AS THE FRONT FINALLY PUSHES SOUTH OF THE AREA.

OUTLOOK...MAINLY VFR...EXCEPT NON VFR SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY WITH
SCATTERED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS.

&&
