LATEST UPDATE...AVIATION...

.SYNOPSIS...(1036 PM EDT TUE MAY 31 2011)
COOLER AND DRIER WEATHER WILL MOVE IN ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT BEHIND
THE COLD FRONT. A COUPLE OF PLEASANT DAYS ARE THEN EXPECTED FOR
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. THERE MAY BE A CHANCE OF A THUNDERSTORMS
LATE THURSDAY AFTERNOON INTO THURSDAY NIGHT AS ANOTHER SYSTEM BEGINS
TO AFFECT THE AREA. OTHERWISE...DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH
THE WEEKEND WITH TEMPERATURES NEAR NORMAL.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(1036 PM EDT TUE MAY 31 2011)
(TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
COLD FRONT IS MOVING THROUGH THE SE CWA ATTM TOUCHING OFF A FEW
SHOWERS. THESE WILL EXIT THE CWA IN THE NEXT HOUR OR SO LEAVING DRY
CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION
PRODUCING SUNNY WEATHER WEDNESDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM...(100 PM EDT TUE MAY 31 2011)
(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)

MILD AND FAIRLY TRANQUIL WX IS ANTICIPATED THROUGH THE LONG RANGE
FCST PERIOD. A SFC RIDGE WILL BRING FAIR WX WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO
THURSDAY. WARM AIR ADVECTION AND SOME WEAK MOISTURE RETURN MAY BRING
A FEW SHOWERS THURSDAY NIGHT FOLLOWED BY UPPER RIDGING FRIDAY. THE
UPPER RIDGE WILL GRADUALLY BREAK DOWN SATURDAY AND A COLD FRONT WILL
COME THROUGH. MAINTAINED A DRY FCST FOR THE WEEKEND AT THIS TIME DUE
TO LIMITED MOISTURE WITH THAT SYSTEM. NOT MUCH OF AN AIRMASS CHANGE
BEHIND THAT SYSTEM WITH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE
SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...(1136 PM EDT TUE MAY 31 2011)
WINDS SETTLING DOWN FOR THE EVENING SOMEWHAT...HOWEVER THEY WILL
PICK UP AGAIN WED MORNING AS TEMPERATURES WARM.  MOST LOCATIONS
SHOULD SEE GUSTS OVER 25 KNOTS...AND VALUES OVER 30 KNOTS ARE LIKELY
FOR KGRR AND KLAN FROM THE WEST.  VERY LITTLE MOISTURE AROUND...SO
MAINLY CLEAR SKIES EXPECTED.

&&

.MARINE...(100 PM EDT TUE MAY 31 2011)
WILL ALLOW THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY TO EXPIRE AS SCHEDULED THIS
EVENING. HOWEVER...THE BIGGER THREAT WILL BE STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS CROSSING LAKE MICHIGAN THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...(412 AM EDT TUE MAY 31 2011)
AREA RIVER AND STREAM LEVELS REMAIN HIGH ACROSS THE AREA WITH THE
AMOUNT OF RAINFALL WE HAVE SEEN OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS. NUMEROUS
FLOOD ADVISORIES AND WARNINGS ARE IN EFFECT FOR AREA RIVERS. MOST OF
THE AREA IS EXPECTED TO SEE UP TO ANOTHER HALF AN INCH OF RAINFALL
WITH THE STORMS EXPECTED LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT. SOME HEAVIER
DOWNPOURS ARE POSSIBLE...BUT WE SHOULD NOT SEE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS
AS THE LINE OF STORMS SHOULD MOVE THROUGH THE AREA FAIRLY
PROGRESSIVELY. THIS SHOULD NOT CAUSE TOO MANY ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS ON
THE RIVERS...HOWEVER IT WILL JUST KEEP THEM RUNNING HIGH A BIT
LONGER. WE WILL THEN SEE A BREAK IN RAIN THROUGH AT LEAST THURSDAY
AFTERNOON...WHICH WILL HELP THE RIVERS RECOVER A BIT.

&&

.GRR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
MI...NONE.
LM...NONE.
