1226 AM EDT WED JUN 27 2012

.UPDATE...

THE AVIATION SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 256 PM EDT TUE JUN 26 2012

HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE AND AN UPPER RIDGE ALOFT WILL BRING HOT
AND DRY CONDITIONS TO THE AREA THROUGH THURSDAY. A WEAK FRONT WILL
MOVE INTO THE AREA FOR THE WEEKEND AND BRING LOW CHANCES FOR
RAIN...BUT TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN VERY WARM.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/...
ISSUED AT 901 PM EDT TUE JUN 26 2012

SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS HIGH PRESSURE OVER INDIANA...MICHIGAN AND
OHIO WITH A DRY EASTERLY SURFACE FLOW IN PLACE. SKIES ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA WERE CLOUDLESS. DEW POINT TEMPS REMAINED DRY IN
MIDDLE 40S.

HAVE TRENDED LOW TEMPERATURES A BIT HIGHER THAN THE PREVIOUS
FORECAST GIVEN WARMER AIR ALOFT EXPECTED TO ARRIVE OVERNIGHT ALONG
WITH ONGOING TEMPERATURES STILL WARMER THAN PREVIOUS GUIDANCE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
ISSUED AT 256 PM EDT TUE JUN 26 2012

...NEAR RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES AND HIGHER FIRE DANGER EXPECTED
THURSDAY...

FOCUS IS ON HEAT AND FIRE DANGER...THEN ON CHANCES FOR RAIN ON
FRIDAY. GFS IS UNRELIABLE WITH ITS SURFACE TEMPERATURES AND
DEWPOINTS AS THE MODEL IS HAVING SOME PROBLEMS...SO WILL NOT USE
MUCH OF ITS FORECAST. EVEN THE NAM LOOKS TO BE OVERDOING DEWPOINTS
LATE IN THE PERIOD.  OTHERWISE WILL USE A BLEND OF ECMWF AND NAM.

THERE MAY BE SOME HIGH CLOUDS ON WEDNESDAY...BUT SUNSHINE WILL STILL
BE PLENTIFUL. WITH THE DRY GROUND TEMPERATURES SHOULD RESPOND
WELL...ESPECIALLY WITH WARM ADVECTION BEGINNING IN THE AFTERNOON.
WILL THUS GO AT OR EVEN A LITTLE ABOVE MET MOS.

MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES WILL CONTINUE WEDNESDAY NIGHT. STUCK PRETTY CLOSE
TO MET MOS FOR LOWS.

ON THURSDAY A FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA FROM THE NORTH AND
PERHAPS BRING A FEW MORE CLOUDS. VERY WARM TEMPERATURES ALOFT WILL
MOVE INTO THE AREA. NAM INDICATES DECENT MIXING. SOURCE REGION FOR
THE AIRMASS WILL BE FROM THE SOUTHWEST. THUS FEEL THAT TEMPERATURES
AT OR ABOVE 100 ARE A GOOD BET MOST AREAS. AM STILL STAYING ON THE
CONSERVATIVE SIDE FOR NOW AND DID NOT GO QUITE AS HIGH AS MET
MOS...ESPECIALLY SOUTHWEST. WILL SEE HOW TEMPERATURES DO TO OUR WEST
TOMORROW.

WITH TEMPERATURES AROUND 100...GROUND CONDITIONS MORE REMINISCENT OF
LATE SUMMER...MIXING PRODUCING WIND GUSTS NEAR 25 MPH...AND
HUMIDITIES NEAR OR BELOW 25 PERCENT...HAVE DECIDED TO ISSUE A FIRE
WEATHER WATCH FOR THURSDAY.

THE FRONT MAY MOVE TO NEAR THE NORTHERN FORECAST AREA ON FRIDAY.
MODELS ARE WAY OVERDOING CONVECTION SINCE THEIR DEWPOINTS ARE TOO
HIGH. HOWEVER WITH A FRONT IN THE AREA CANNOT RULE OUT CONVECTION
ENTIRELY. THUS KEPT LOW POPS ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA ON FRIDAY.

DEPENDING ON SKY COVER FROM ANY CONVECTION TO THE
NORTH...TEMPERATURES COULD BE COOLER ON FRIDAY...BUT STILL QUITE
HOT. THUS CONTINUED WITH UPPER 90S NORTH TO 100-103 SOUTH.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
ISSUED AT 256 PM EDT TUE JUN 26 2012

MODEL ENSEMBLES INDICATE SOME SUPPRESSION OF THE STRONG UPPER RIDGE
TO BE FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO THE SOUTHEAST U.S. DURING MUCH
OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD.  AS A RESULT IT KEEPS THE NORTHERN HALF OF
THE EASTERN U.S. UNDER A WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. AS A RESULT
WILL MENTION LOW CHANCES OF THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH
MONDAY AT TIMES. HOWEVER WITH THE DRY CONDITIONS WILL NOT MENTION
ANY POPS GREATER THAN 20 PERCENT.

AS FAR AS TEMPERATURES ARE CONCERNED WENT WITH A BLEND OF ALL BLEND
AND HPC NUMBERS. I TENDED TO GO A TAD WARMER WITH MAX TEMPERATURES
AND A TAD LOWER WITH MINIMUM TEMPERATURES WHICH TENDS TO WORK OUT
THAT WAY WITH DRY GROUND CONDITIONS.  SOME MODELS INDICATE AN MCS
COULD AFFECT OUR FAR NORTHWEST DAY 7...SO WILL MENTION 20 PERCENT
POPS THERE.  OTHERWISE...ALL OTHER AREAS SHOULD BE COMPLETELY DRY BY
THEN.

&&

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 27/06Z TAFS/...
ISSUED AT 1230 AM EDT WED JUN 27 2012

LARGE DOME OF HIGH PRESSURE IN CONTROL THROUGH THE PERIOD. DAYTIME
WINDS WILL BE 10-12KT...WITH LIGHT AND VARIABLE TO CALM WINDS
OVERNIGHT. NOTHING MORE THAN A WISP OF PASSING CIRRUS FROM TIME TO
