.SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT/...
/ISSUED 322 AM EDT SAT APR 20 2013/
LINE OF SHOWERS STILL MOVING ACROSS THE VERY SOUTHEAST PART OF THE
CWA BUT SHOULD MOVE OUT BY 5AM. AFTER THE SHOWERS MOVE
OUT...FORECAST IS DRY FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM. FLOW
ALOFT REMAINS WSW THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. AT THE SFC...HIGH
PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY THIS MORNING WILL
BUILD INTO THE CWA AS THE CENTER OF THE RIDGE SHIFTS TO THE GREAT
LAKES REGION BY TONIGHT. BESIDES KEEPING US DRY...THIS WILL SERVE TO
SHIFT OUR WINDS FROM MORE OF A NW FLOW TO A MORE EASTERLY PATTERN BY
SUNRISE ON SUNDAY.

NO CHANGES PLANNED FOR THE FROST ADVISORY. ALTHOUGH TONIGHT WILL BE
CHILLY AGAIN...MINIMUM TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE ABOVE FROST
ADVISORY CRITERIA. FOR MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES TODAY...MET IS A FEW
DEGREES COOLER THAN THE MAV. DIFFERENCE MAY IN PART BE DUE TO THE
FACT THAT THE NAM INDICATES MORE MOISTURE AT 850MB THUS RESULTING IN
A FEW CLOUDS. TRENDED TOWARD THE WARMER MAV TODAY WITH NO CLOUDS.
FORECAST IS AROUND A DEGREE BELOW GUIDANCE.

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
/ISSUED 322 AM EDT SAT APR 20 2013/
HIGH PRESSURE WILL DOMINATE THE SENSIBLE WEATHER THROUGH EARLY NEXT
WEEK. THE NEXT FRONTAL BOUNDARY LOOKS TO IMPACT THE REGION WEDNESDAY
INTO THURSDAY...WITH HIGH PRESSURE RETURNING FOR THE LATE WEEK AND
EARLY PART OF THE WEEKEND.

HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE GREAT LAKES ON SUNDAY WILL MOVE EAST INTO THE
CANADIAN MARITIMES BY THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK. THIS WILL
REINFORCE A COOL AIR WEDGE ACROSS THE CWFA SUNDAY INTO TUESDAY.
RIDGING WILL FINALLY BEGIN TO SHIFT EASTWARD LATER ON TUESDAY AS A
COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE MID MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY. THE
FRONT IS STILL PROGGED TO MOVE THROUGH THE CWFA WEDNESDAY INTO EARLY
THURSDAY.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE WEST LATER ON THURSDAY AND
CONTINUE THROUGH THE EARLY PART OF THE WEEKEND. BOTH THE GFS AND THE
ECMWF ARE PROGGING LOW PRESSURE AND A FRONT FOR THE SECOND HALF OF
NEXT WEEKEND. THIS FAR OUR...THERE ARE SOME TIMING ISSUES.

TEMPS SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL ARE EXPECTED SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. TEMPS
WILL REBOUND TO NORMAL VALUES ON TUESDAY AS THE RIDGE MOVES OFFSHORE
AND EASTERLY FLOW TURNS MORE SOUTHERLY.

NO MAJOR CHANGES TO THE POPS FOR MOST OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD. ADDED
POPS IN FOR SUNDAY WITH THE LATE IN THE PERIOD FRONT/LOW.
