ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS MORNING AHEAD OF COLD
FRONT WHICH CROSSES MIDDAY. HIGH PRESSURE FOR THE WEEKEND. ANOTHER COLD
FRONT FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS CONVECTION DEVELOPING
WELL AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT...ACROSS NORTHEAST
KY...AND SOUTHEAST OH EARLY THIS MORNING. THESE STORMS WILL MOVE
QUICKLY NORTH NORTHEAST TO PRODUCE STRONG GUSTY WINDS...AND HEAVY
DOWNPOURS ALONG THEIR PATH. CODED HIGH LIKELY POPS WITH THIS
ACTIVITY. ADDITIONAL ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS THESE AREAS AND MOVE AROUND 50 KNOTS INTO
WV THIS MORNING. ISOLATED STORMS COULD BECOME SEVERE TODAY.
MODELS ARE IN AGREEMENT WITH THE TIMING AND INTENSITY OF THIS
CONVECTION IN THEIR QPF FIELDS.
LOW TO MID LEVEL FLOW IS GENERALLY OUT OF THE SOUTH AT THE SFC
AROUND 10 KNOTS...SOUTHWEST...AROUND 50 KNOTS AT H850.
TRAINING OF SEVERAL STORMS COULD ISOLATED PRODUCE WATER PROBLEMS
ALONG LOW SPOTS AND SMALL CREEKS. KEPT PREVIOUS FLASH FLOOD
WATCH.

A LARGE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL RESULT IN A DRY WEEKEND...
ALONG WITH A WARMING TREND. A COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE WEST
WILL BRING THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS FOR MONDAY.
MODELS ARE SLOWER WITH THE PRECIP LATE IN THE PERIOD...SO HAVE
SLOWED DOWN THE PRECIP CHANCES MONDAY. ALSO SOME QUESTION ON THE
POSSIBILITY OF THUNDERSTORMS FOR MONDAY. HAVE MAINTAINED SLIGHT
CHANCE OF STORMS IN THE FORECAST. BUT LACK OF ANY REAL INSTABILITY
IN THE MODELS SUGGESTS THUNDER...IF IT OCCURS AT ALL...WILL BE VERY
LIMITED IN COVERAGE.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE QUITE COOL SUNDAY NIGHT AS CENTER OF SURFACE
HIGH SHOULD BE NEARBY. CURRENTLY HAVE UPPER 20S ACROSS THE HIGHEST
ELEVATIONS...WITH 30S ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA,
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
MODELS DEPICT ANOTHER FRONTAL SYSTEM MEANDERING BACK AND FORTH ACROSS
OUR REGION FOR MUCH OF NEXT WEEK. WHILE SPECIFIC DETAILS MAY BE
DIFFERENT FOR EACH SYSTEM THAT RUNS ALONG THIS FRONT...THE GENERAL
SCENARIO IS FOR WARM...MOIST AND RELATIVELY UNSTABLE AIR IN PLACE
TO PRESENT A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ANYTIME FOR MUCH OF
THE WEEK.
&&
.AVIATION /10Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE MOVING RAPIDLY
NORTH NORTHEAST ACROSS THE OH VALLEY AND PORTIONS OF WV ALONG THE
OH RIVER. THIS CONVECTION IS AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT
LOCATED IL AND WESTERN KY. EXPECT PERIODS OF MVFR WITH STRONG
GUSTY WINDS PEAKING UP TO 30 KNOTS WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS.
