.LONG TERM... / TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY /

...HOT AND MAINLY DRY WX EXPECTED...

AN UPPER RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD NEWD INTO THE MIDWEST/GREAT
LAKES NEXT WEEK IN RESPONSE TO RENEWED TROUGHING ALONG THE EAST/WEST
COASTS. ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY THE LOCAL AREA WILL STILL HAVE LOW
CHANCES FOR SHOWERS/STORMS ON THE NERN FRINGE OF THIS UPPER RIDGE
WITHIN NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT...WITH THE INSTABILITY AXIS / LOW
LVL THETA-E RIDGE STILL "IN THE VICINITY" DURING THIS TIME. THIS
WEAK DIFFUSE LOW LVL CONVERGENT BOUNDARY AND EXPECTED DIFFICULT TO

COMBINE TO FORCE ADDITIONAL CONVECTIVE COMPLEXES ACROSS THE UPPER
MIDWEST AND GREAT LAKES THROUGH AT LEAST TUESDAY...LIKELY DEVELOPING
ALONG THE NOSE OF A LLJ IN THE UPPER MIDWEST AND THEN ATTEMPTING TO
MAKE A RUN AT THE GREAT LAKES AND NORTHERN OHIO VALLEY FOLLOWING
CLOSE TO THE SHALLOW QUASI STATIONARY BOUNDARY. THERE ARE TOO MANY
MESOSCALE UNCERTAINTIES WRT TO MCS DEVELOPMENT/TRACK/TIMING AND
ASSOCIATED COMPOSITE/RESIDUAL OUTFLOWS THAT MAKE FORECASTING POPS/WX
IN THIS TYPE OF PATTERN VERY DIFFICULT. AS A RESULT DID NOT MAKE ANY
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO LOW CHC POPS TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. THIS
UNCERTAINTY WITH CONVECTION/CLOUD DEBRIS/OUTFLOWS ALSO MAKES HIGH
TEMPS A CHALLENGE WITH NO CHANGES MADE. UPPER RIDGE AND ASSOCIATED
STRONG SUBSIDENCE LOOKS TO BUILD IN FOR THE MID TO LATE WEEK PERIOD
RESULTING IN MAINLY DRY WX AND TEMPERATURES WELL ABOVE
NORMAL...POSSIBLY APPROACHING THE UPPER 90S/NEAR 100 FOR SEVERAL
DAYS WITH HEAT RELATED HEADLINES EVENTUALLY POSSIBLE. WILL CONTINUE
TO MENTION HEAT/HUMIDITY CONCERNS IN THE HWO FOR NOW. A MORE
PRONOUNCED SHORTWAVE CRESTING THE UPPER RIDGE MAY HELP TO SUPPRESS
THE RIDGE AND FORCE ANOTHER FRONTAL BOUNDARY SOUTH INTO THE AREA BY
NEXT WEEKEND. THIS COULD BRING SHOWERS/STORMS AND POSSIBLY SOME
RELIEF FROM THE HEAT BY SOMETIME NEXT WEEKEND OR EARLY THE FOLLOWING
WEEK.
