.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 1040 AM CDT WED APR 17 2013
WARM FRONT JUST SOUTH OF THE FA THIS MORNING...MOSTLY ALONG THE
OHIO RIVER VALLEY. THOUGH THE MAIN SFC LOW CENTER IS WELL TO THE
SOUTHWEST...AN UPPER LEVEL WAVE PUSHING THROUGH THE MISSOURI RIVER
VALLY IS STREAMING CONVECTION ALL THE WAY UP INTO NRN IL.
ACCORDING TO THE 4KM WRF WHICH HAS PRETTY GOOD REPRESENTATION
NOW...WILL HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS FOR
SPREADING PRECIP AND CONVECTION INTO CENTRAL IL. SO FAR...FORECAST
IS ON TRACK WITH WARMER AIR PUSHING INTO THE FA LATER THIS
AFTERNOON...AND HIGHER CHANCES FOR PRECIP AS WELL. NO MAJOR
ADJUSTMENTS TO THE FORECAST...JUST SOME MINOR GRID ALTERATIONS.

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 1259 PM CDT WED APR 17 2013
NOT MUCH OF A SHIFT IN THE FORECAST FOR AVIATION WITH ONE PRETTY
MAJOR EXCEPTION. ALL ILX TERMINALS CAUGHT BETWEEN ONGOING
CONVECTION AND A WARM FRONT...AND VERY LITTLE IN THE WAY OF BREAKS
IN THE CIGS THROUGH THE PD. CONVECTION STILL ANTICIPATED TO SPREAD
THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING HOURS AND THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT. HAVE TRIED TO PIN DOWN BEST HOURS FOR THUNDER...AND
KEEP CIGS IN THE MVFR WHERE POSSIBLE. PASSAGE OF THE FRONT MAY
WELL SEE A BRIEF BREAK IN THE LOW CIGS...BUT WILL BE SHORT LIVED
AND MODELS ARE NOT DOING WELL WITH THE TIMING THIS EVENING.
CONSIDERING THE EXPECTED SPREAD OF THE CONVECTION...LEAVING OUT
ANY MENTION OF PREDOMINANT BREAKS.
