&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
MODELS CONTINUE TO DRIVE A STRONG COLD FRONT EASTWARD ACROSS THE AREA
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...ACCOMPANIED BY A BAND OF SHOWERS AND A
FEW THUNDERSTORMS. STILL SHOWING A MODERATE WESTERLY 850MB JET...
PUNCHING IN BEHIND THE FRONT...AND LIFTING UP ACROSS THE LOW LANDS

COLD ADVECTION THERMAL PATTERN WILL GREATLY ENHANCE DOWNWARD
MOMENTUM TRANSFER...FIRST WITH THE SHOWERS AND FOR SEVERAL HOURS
BEHIND THE FRONT. THUS...WILL CONTINUE THE WIND ADVISORY FOR

BE A STRONG TEMPERATURE DROP BEHIND THE FRONT...BUT ABNORMALLY WARM
TEMPERATURES AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL BE FOLLOWED BY ONLY SEASONAL
TEMPERATURES TONIGHT AND CHRISTMAS DAY. SO...POST FRONTAL RAIN
SHOWERS WILL STRUGGLE TO CHANGE TO SNOW SHOWERS BEFORE ENDING FOR
THE MOST PART FROM WEST TO EAST TONIGHT. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE THE
HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS WHERE RAIN WILL CHANGE
TO SNOW...BUT LITTLE SNOW ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED AS DEEPER
MOISTURE IS LOST BY THE TIME OF CHANGEOVER. ON CHRISTMAS DAY...LOTS

TILT UPPER LEVEL S/W TROUGH AND SFC COLD FRONT APPROACH. MODELS
CONTINUE TO TREND SLOWER WITH THIS FEATURE...LIKELY OWING TO THE
TENACIOUS UPPER LEVEL HIGH OVER THE BAHAMAS. THUS HAVE SLOWED THE
CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION INCREASING FROM THE W...LIMITING IT TO JUST
A SCHC ALONG AND W OF THE OHIO RIVER BY THE END OF THE DAY SAT.
BLENDED IN THE MET AND MAV FOR LOWS THU NT...A LITTLE HIGHER OVER
THE MIDDLE OHIO VALLEY ON ACCOUNT OF THE GRADIENT ON THE BACK SIDE
OF THE HIGH THERE...AND A LITTLE LOWER ELSEWHERE WITH GOOD RADIATIVE
COOLING IN THE VALLEYS. BLENDED IN THE MET FOR LOWS A LITTLE LOWER
FRI NT WITH LESS CLOUD AND HIGH PRESSURE KEEPING THE FLOW LIGHT
ESPECIALLY S AND E OF THE OHIO RIVER. BLENDED IN THE MET FOR HIGHS
FRI FOR LITTLE CHANGE. RAISED HIGHS SAT A LITTLE ABOVE CONSENSUS

CONTINUES TO SUPPRESS THE SECOND WAVE...KEEPING IT MAINLY SOUTH AND
EAST. THE LATEST ECMWF IS TRENDING THIS WAY AS WELL. STARTED WITH
WPC GUIDANCE...AND THEN BLENDED IN ANOTHER DOSE OF THE GFS. HAVE THE
COLD FRONT PASSING THROUGH ON SUNDAY WITH LIKELY POPS ACROSS MUCH OF
