COLD FRONT IS JUST NW OF THE AREA.  BAND OF SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS
HAS DEVELOPED AHEAD OF THE FRONT.  EXPECT BOTH THE FRONT AND THE
SCATTERED SHOWERS TO PUSH SE OF THE AREA BY THIS AFTERNOON.  LARGE
MCC MOVING SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY HAS CUT OFF THE
FLOW OF MOISTURE TO THE FRONT SO RAINFALL WILL BE MUCH LESS THAN
MODELS WERE ORIGINALLY FORECASTING.  BY THIS EVENING 850 TEMPS DIP
TO 8C SO EXPECT LAKE EFFECT CLOUDS TO DEVELOP.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
MODELS CONTINUE IN GOOD AGREEMENT MOVING LARGE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE
EAST OVER THE AREA ON SATURDAY. AT THE UPPER LEVELS LONG WAVE
TROUGH DIGS OVER THE GREAT LAKES AND REMAINS NEARLY STATIONARY
THROUGH PERIOD. CONDITIONS SHOULD REMAIN RELATIVELY DRY WITH TEMPS
ACTUALLY BELOW NORMAL.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
NO BIG CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS FORECASTS.  MODELS SHOW MODERATING
TEMPERATURES AS AN UPPER TROF PULLS EAST AND HEIGHTS RISE ACROSS THE
LOWER GREAT LAKES AND OHIO VALLEY.  AT THE SURFACE...HIGH PRESSURE
WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE AREA...SHIFTING EAST LATE IN THE PERIOD BUT
CONTINUING TO INFLUENCE THE AREA.  WILL HAVE HIGHS RISING THROUGH

CHANCES TO NIL.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...

LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS IN VICINITY OF THE BOUNDARY. NOT COMPLETELY OUT
OF THE QUESTION TO GET THUNDER TO DEVELOP OVERNIGHT WITH THE FRONT

CIGS IN LIGHT RAIN BEHIND. FRIDAY EXPECT MVFR CONDITIONS ACROSS
MUCH OF THE AREA IMPROVING TO VFR DURING THE LATE MORNING AND

BOUNDARY...GUSTING INTO THE 20S. BEHIND THE FRONT WINDS TURN

THE LAKE. CURRENTLY BUOYS ARE REPORTING 3 FOOT WAVES AND WOULD
