&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY/...
RECENT SREF, NAEFS, AND ECMWF MODEL OUTPUT SHOWS THE MIDWEST LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM DRIVING THE STALLED FRONT EASTWARD THROUGH THE
UPPER OHIO VALLEY LATE SATURDAY. SO THUNDERSTORMS, WITH SEVERE
POTENTIAL, CAN OCCUR INTO SATURDAY EVENING. THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
MORE LIKELY SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING DUE TO PEAK
HEATING INSTABILITY AND INCREASED LIFT DUE TO PREFRONTAL
CONVERGENCE.

COMFORTABLE TEMPERATURES. SPECIFIC TEMPERATURES WERE FORECASTED
USING BLEND OF RECENT GFS MOS AND SREF MEAN VALUES.

MAY PRODUCE THUNDERSTORMS STARTING LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO
FRIDAY.
