MILE.

02.12Z NCEP DETERMINISTIC MODEL SUITE AS WELL AS THE 12.09Z SREF IN
OVERALL GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THE SHORT TERM PERIOD.

WILL BE WATCHING THE AFOREMENTIONED LOW OVER WESTERN KY THIS
AFTERNOON DUMBBELL INTO CENTRAL IL TONIGHT. AS IT DOES...NAM
INDICATES INCREASING AXIS OF 925-850MB MOISTURE TRANSPORT/ISENTROPIC
LIFT AHEAD OF IT...PUSHING ALONG THE IL/WI BORDER AFTER MIDNIGHT.
BASED ON THIS SIGNAL...HAVE KEPT HIGHER RAIN CHANCES ACROSS THE
SOUTH...MAINLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. PATCHY DRIZZLE MAY BEE SEEN ELSEWHERE
WITH THIS NEW SURGE OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE. MEANWHILE...THE AREA WILL
INITIALLY BE UNDER A FAIRLY WEAK PRESSURE GRADIENT THROUGH MIDNIGHT
BEFORE THE KY LOW APPROACHES. WITH A RATHER MOIST LOWER BOUNDARY
LAYER...CANNOT RULE OUT SOME FOG DEVELOPMENT. HOWEVER...WITH
STRATOCU IN PLACE...SHOULD BE PATCHY IN NATURE. ACROSS THE
NORTH...THE FOG COULD HAVE A BIT MORE COVERAGE. AT THIS
POINT...THINKING THAT WITH INCREASING PRESSURE GRADIENT AFTER
MIDNIGHT...WINDS WILL MITIGATE ANY DENSE FOG FORMATION.

THE CLOSED MID-LEVEL LOW AND SURFACE LOW WILL PUSH EAST OUT OF IL
INTO THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY REGION SATURDAY/SATURDAY NIGHT. THIS PULLS
BULK OF RAIN WELL SOUTH AND EAST OF THE REGION. HOWEVER...OUR AREA
REMAINS IN COOL CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT...AND NAM INDICATING A DECENT
AMOUNT OF 925-850MB MOISTURE TRANSPORT CONTINUING. WILL CONTINUE
SMALL CHANCES OF -RA.

SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY APPEARS TO BE QUIET. BOTH THE GFS/NAM SHOW A
WEAK MID-LEVEL TROUGH DROPPING SLOWLY SOUTHEAST INTO MN/NORTHWEST WI.
HOWEVER...APPEARS BEST FORCING/SATURATION ANY RESULTING RAIN CHANCES
REMAIN NORTHWEST OF US. OTHERWISE...SKIES SHOULD REMAIN MOSTLY
CLOUDY WITH HIGHS TOPPING OFF IN THE UPPER 40S TO MID 50S.

BY MONDAY NIGHT...THE MID-LEVEL WAVE DAMPENS AS IT MOVES INTO THE
REGION. HOWEVER...MODELS INSIST THAT THERE MAY BE SOME LIGHT QPF AS IT
MOVES THROUGH. WILL HONOR THIS SIGNAL WITH A SLIGHT RAIN CHANCE
ACROSS THE NORTHWEST HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA.

.LONG TERM...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY

AGREE WITH HPC TRENDING MORE TOWARD 12.00Z ECMWF. WHEN COMPARING THE
12.00/06Z GFS AGAINST THE GFS ENSEMBLE...IT APPEARS THE
DETERMINISTIC GFS IS TOO FAST/HIGH ZONAL ACROSS THE INTERMOUNTAIN
WEST/CENTRAL CONUS TOWARD THE END OF THE PERIOD.

MEANWHILE..BOTH GFS/ECMWF CONSISTENT IN SHOWING A WEAK MID-LEVEL
TROUGH IN NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT DROPPING INTO THE REGION MONDAY NIGHT
THROUGH TUESDAY. BASED ON THIS CONSISTENT SIGNAL...HAVE INCREASED
CLOUDS AND INCLUDED A SMALL CHANCE OF RAIN ACROSS THE NORTHWEST HALF
OF THE FORECAST AREA WHERE BETTER COLUMN SATURATION IS EXPECTED PER
GFS BUFKIT. TUESDAY STILL A BIT IFFY AS THE MODELS INDICATE HEIGHTS
BUILDING ACROSS THE AREA AND NOT AS CYCLONIC OF FLOW ALOFT. WILL KEEP
TUESDAY DRY FOR NOW.

AS STATED ABOVE...HAVE TRENDED THE REST OF THE FORECAST PERIOD MORE
IN LINE WITH THE ECMWF WHICH BUILDS A RATHER STRONG RIDGE OVER THE
AREA AHEAD OF THE A DEEPENING TROUGH OVER THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST. AS
A RESULT...APPEARS WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY WILL BE DRY WITH
TEMPERATURES SOARING WELL INTO THE 50S AND PERHAPS A FEW LOWER 60S
WITH THE LOSS OF SNOW COVER AND AMPLE MID MARCH SUNSHINE.

&&

.AVIATION...TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY

MAIN AVIATION CONCERNS IS LOWERING OF CLOUD CEILINGS AND
VISIBILITIES TO MVFR AND IFR CONDITIONS AFTER 00Z SATURDAY. UPPER
LEVEL CLOSED LOW WILL CONTINUE TO SPIN OVER MID MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY/CENTRAL PLAINS STATES THROUGH THE PERIOD. THIS WILL CONTINUE
TO WRAP LOW LEVEL MOISTURE INTO THE REGION...AND COMBINED WITH A
WEAK SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING OVER THE AREA AFTER 00Z SATURDAY.
CEILINGS WILL LOWER INTO THE IFR RANGE AT RST TAF SITE BY 08Z
SATURDAY AND MVFR RANGE AT LSE TAF SITE BY 09Z SATURDAY.
VISIBILITIES WILL LOWER TO THE IFR RANGE AT RST TAF SITE BY 08Z AND
AT THE LSE TAF SITE TO THE MVFR RANGE. NEXT CONCERN IS HOW LONG THE
CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES STAY IN THE IFR AND MVFR RANGE THROUGH THE
DAY FRIDAY. THE LATEST 12.12Z GFS AND NAM CONTINUE TO INDICATE LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE WRAPPING AROUND THE UPPER LEVEL CLOSED LOW INTO THE
AREA. FOR NOW...HAVE KEPT THE MVFR AND IFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES
CONDITIONS THROUGH THE REST OF THE TAF TIME PERIOD.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...

WITH LITTLE IN THE WAY OF ADDITIONAL RAINFALL EXPECTED INTO THIS
WEEKEND //GENERALLY A FEW TENTHS OF AN INCH TO A TENTH OF AN
INCH//...FOCUS WILL BE ON RESIDUAL SNOWMELT AND ADDITIONAL RUNOFF
INTO THE TRIBUTARIES AS TEMPERATURES REMAIN WELL ABOVE FREEZING.
THIS RUNOFF WILL BE MOST PREVALENT ACROSS AREAS OF SOUTHEAST
MN/NORTHEAST IA WHERE A LARGER WINTER SNOW PACK OCCURRED.

POTENTIAL FLOODING...SEE OUR HYDROLOGIC STATEMENTS.
