.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 824 PM CDT THU MAY 30 2013

UPDATED TO REMOVE LAKE WIND ADVISORY AND AMEND AVIATION SECTION.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 318 PM CDT THU MAY 30 2013

SCATTERED CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE OVER MUCH OF THE AREA THROUGH
SUNSET. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR SOUTHERN ILLINOIS FOR SEVERE
WEATHER POTENTIAL...BUT THE MAIN FOCUS REMAINS TO THE NORTH OF OUR
AREA.

ALL OF THE CONVECTION TO OUR WEST WILL LIKELY CONGEAL INTO A
COMPLEX THAT WILL MOVE EASTWARD THROUGH THE REGION TONIGHT. TRIED
TO TIME A BAND OF LIKELY POPS EASTWARD ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE
NIGHT. HPC QPF IS ON BOARD WITH THIS IDEA AND IS ADVERTISING 3/4
TO 1 INCH IN THE BAND. WOULD NOT EXPECT IT TO BE SEVERE...BUT WILL
HAVE TO MONITOR THROUGH THE EVENING.

FRIDAY APPEARS AS THOUGH IT WILL BE MOSTLY DRY. THE OVERNIGHT BAND
MAY LINGER IN THE PENNYRILE EARLY IN THE MORNING...BUT OTHERWISE
THE FOCUS WILL LIKELY BE NORTH OF THE AREA. WILL KEEP POPS AT
CHANCE LEVELS...WITH SLIGHTS IN THE FAR SOUTH. CANNOT RULE OUT
DIURNAL CONVECTION...BUT THE AIR MASS MAY BE THOROUGHLY STABILIZED
BY THE CONVECTION LATE TONIGHT. THE WIND FIELDS SHOULD BE
BETTER...SO SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE A CONCERN IF ROBUST CONVECTION
CAN DEVELOP.

THE MODELS HAVE A NICE SIGNAL FOR A NEARLY EAST/WEST BAND OF
CONVECTION DEVELOPING SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE AREA LATE FRIDAY
NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE A CONCERN FRIDAY
NIGHT AND SATURDAY...WITH GOOD FORCING AND BETTER WIND FIELDS
EXPECTED. NOT SURE WHAT THINGS WILL LOOK LIKE LATER SATURDAY...BUT
WILL KEEP HIGH LIKELY POPS SATURDAY INTO SATURDAY NIGHT AHEAD OF
THE COLD FRONT...AND WOULD EXPECT SEVERE POTENTIAL UNTIL THE FRONT
PASSES.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 318 PM CDT THU MAY 30 2013

THERE MAY BE LINGERING SHOWERS AND TSTMS IN WRN KY AND SWRN IND FOR
A WHILE AFTER SUNRISE ON SUNDAY AS A DRIER AND SOMEWHAT COOLER
AIR MASS FILTERS IN ON NRLY WINDS. A DRY PERIOD WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
TUE NIGHT. MON/MON NIGHT WILL BE THE COOLEST PERIOD BEFORE A GENTLE
REBOUND IN TEMPS STARTS ON THE BACKSIDE OF A SFC RIDGE AXIS. BY
WED...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND TSTMS MAY BE AROUND IN THE NWRN HALF OF
THE PAH FORECAST AREA AS ANOTHER MID LEVEL SHRTWV AND SFC LOW AND
FRONTAL SYSTEM APPROACHES THE REGION. THE EVOLUTION OF THIS SYSTEM
IS A BIT MURKY IN THE MED RANGE MODEL DATA...ESPECIALLY ON DAY7/THU.
AT THIS TIME...IT APPEARS THAT PCPN CHANCES MAY BE BEST THEN...WITH
PLENTY OF ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE AROUND.

&&

.AVIATION...
ISSUED AT 824 PM CDT THU MAY 30 2013

SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED AT TIMES THROUGH 12Z
WITH MVFR CONDITIONS LIKELY. SOME STORMS MAY PRODUCE 50 KT GUSTS
OR HIGHER AND UP TO QUARTER SIZE HAIL. AWAY FROM STORMS...VFR
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED WITH SOUTH WINDS AT 5 TO 15 KTS WITH GUSTS
AROUND 20 KTS OR HIGHER. A LULL IN STORM ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED
BETWEEN 12Z AND 18Z...WITH ADDITIONAL STORMS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
