DEEPENS OVER THE SRN PLAINS. IN RESPONSE TO NRN SHRTWV/CDFNT... SCT
TSTMS WHICH DEVELOPED OVER CENTRAL IL EARLY THIS AFTN SHOULD MOVE

BULLISH WITH BACKED SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW/CURVED HODOGRAPHS
DURING THIS PERIOD AS EARLIER RUN... AND WOLCOTT PROFILER/18Z DTX
SOUNDING INDICATES ONLY WK DIRECTIONAL SHEAR THOUGH STRONG SPEED
SHEAR. ALSO... CLOUD COVER HAS LIMITED DIURNAL
HEATING/DESTABILIZATION OVER OUR AREA BUT THE LOW CLOUDS APPEAR TO

STILL VALID LATE THIS AFTN/EARLY EVE... WITH GREATEST THREAT
DAMAGING WINDS. LARGE HAIL ALSO PSBL AS COOLING ALOFT ASSOCIATED

MODELS APPEAR TO HAVE CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK ISSUES WITH SRN PLAINS LOW
AS IT LIFTS NNE ALONG STALLED BOUNDARY AND ACROSS OUR CWA
TONIGHT/WED. GIVEN THIS PROBLEM, LEANED TOWARD LATEST SREF WHICH
SUGGESTS A SLOWER AND MORE CONSISTENT DEEPENING AS THE LOW MOVES

LIFTS NNE ALONG STALLED BOUNDARY IN EXCESSIVELY MOIST AIRMASS WITH
PWAT >1"... LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL CERTAINLY LOOKS PSBL AS INDICATED
BY VARIOUS MODEL SOLUTIONS...ALBEIT AT DIFFERENT TIMES AND
LOCATIONS. HWVR...GIVEN SATURATED GROUND CONDITIONS AND HIGH RIVER
LEVELS FROM PERSISTENT RAINS OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS... FEEL THREAT
OF FLOODING AS THIS SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH IS HIGH ENOUGH TO ISSUE AN
FFA ACROSS THE CWA.

LARGE DIFFERENCES AMONG SHORT RANGE MODELS ON HOW LONG RAIN FROM
THIS SYSTEM WILL LINGER OVER THE AREA WITH GFS SUGGESTING HEAVY RAIN
MAY PERSIST IN DEFORMATION ZONE OVER NW PORTION OF CWA WHILE NAM HAS
MORE WESTERLY TRACK OF UPR LOW PLACING CWA IN DRY SLOT BY WED EVE.
SREF CONTS TO BE A GOOD COMPROMISE SOLUTION WITH WKR SHRTWV LIFTING
NE ACROSS INDIANA/NW OH WED NGT...KEEPING SHOWERS GOING ACROSS OUR
AREA BUT WITH LESS QPF THAN INDICATED BY GFS.

LITTLE CHANGE TO PREVIOUS GRIDDED TEMPS OR 12Z MOS FORECASTS WITH

.LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY

RAW AND BREEZY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY
EVENING UNDERNEATH A MID LEVEL TROUGH AXIS THAT WILL BE PIVOTING
THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES AND OH VALLEY. ALSO EXPECT SCATTERED SHOWERS
PER CYCLONIC FLOW AND WRAP AROUND MOISTURE WITHIN A RELATIVELY
UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT BELOW 700 HPA. COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND DRIZZLE
STILL A LITTLE UNCERTAIN SO DECIDED AGAINST UPGRADING FROM CHC TO

ATTENTION THEN TURNS TO THE NEXT LONGWAVE UPPER TROUGH TO IMPACT THE
FA SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY. STILL PLENTY OF SPREAD WITHIN
MODEL SOLUTIONS...WITH THE GFS/GEFS MUCH MORE PROGRESSIVE WITH THE
TROUGH AND THE ECMWF MUCH SLOWER. THESE DIFFERENCES ARE MAINLY TIED
TO THE SPEED/DEPTH OF ENERGY ROUNDING THE BASE OF THIS TROUGH AND THE
EASTERN PROGRESS OF AN UPPER LOW THAT MAY STALL OUT OVER THE WESTERN
ATLANTIC FOR A TIME. MORE IMPRESSIVE AND FARTHER WEST WESTERN
ATLANTIC BLOCKING CONTINUES TO BE OFFERED UP IN THE ECMWF...WHICH
HAS RESULTED IN THE SLOWER UPSTREAM TROUGH AND FROPA. TAILORED GRIDS
TOWARDS A GEFS/GFS/ECMWF/PREVIOUS FCST BLEND FOR THIS PACKAGE. OPTED
NOT TO RAISE POPS SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY AS THE CWA COULD GET
SPLIT WITH STRONGER FORCING MISSING TO THE NW AND DEEPER MOISTURE
AND INSTABILITY LOCKED UP TO THE SOUTH. LOWERED POPS A BIT ACROSS
THE NORTH ON SUNDAY GIVEN THE TREND TOWARDS THE GFS/GEFS/UKMET
SOLUTIONS. HYDRO/HVY RAIN THREAT NOT LOOKING AS IMPRESSIVE AS THE
CURRENT SYSTEM AS THIS UPPER TROUGH HAS A MORE POSITIVE/NUETRAL LOOK
TO IT. COOLER AIR WILL FILTER IN EARLY NEXT WEEK BEHIND THIS
SYSTEM. LEFT MONDAY AND TUESDAY DRY AT THIS TIME...ALTHOUGH COULD
SEE A FEW INSTABILITY SHOWERS UNDER COLD POOL MONDAY.
COVERAGE/CONFIDENCE TOO LOW TO INTRODUCE POPS ATTM.
