CONTINUE RUNNING HIGH AS WATER WORKS THROUGH THE RIVERS AND LAKES.
MANY RIVERS AND LAKES ARE CURRENTLY EXPECTED TO REMAIN ABOVE FLOOD

CONSIDERABLY WITH AFTERNOON HIGHS ON FRIDAY IN THE UPPER 50S TO
AROUND 60...THEN FALLING FURTHER INTO THE LOW TO MIDDLE 50S FOR

MAKING CONSIDERABLE RUN TO RUN CHANGES. WITH CONFIDENCE LOW FOR
TUESDAY ONWARD HAVE MADE FEW CHANGES TO THE FORECAST AND WILL
CONTINUE TO MONITOR OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL RUNS. TEMPERATURES
THROUGH THE LONG TERM WILL BE NEAR NORMAL WITH DAYTIME HIGHS IN
THE MID 50S AND OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE MID 30S.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
COLD FRONT HAS PUSHED OFF THE COAST. CONSIDERABLE LOW CLOUDS
ACROSS THE AREA ASSOCIATED WITH SURFACE TROUGH. PATCHY LIGHT RAIN
MAINLY NEAR THE OGB TERMINAL THROUGH ABOUT 09Z. GUIDANCE SUGGESTS
MVFR OVERNIGHT WITH PERIODS OF IFR CEILINGS. VISIBILITY ALSO
REDUCED. WINDS LIGHT AND VARIABLE SHIFTING TO NORTH-NORTHEAST
AFTER SUNRISE. SHOULD SEE GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT ON FRIDAY WITH A
RETURN TO VFR BY MIDDAY/EARLY AFTERNOON.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...RESTRICTIONS POSSIBLE THROUGH FRIDAY.
LOWER THREAT OF RESTRICTIONS BEHIND THE FRONT THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
FLOODING CONCERNS CONTINUE ACROSS THE AREA. HEAVY RAINFALL HAD
COMBINED WITH SATURATED SOILS...HIGH RIVER AND LAKE LEVELS...AND
RESERVOIR OPERATIONS TO RESULT IN FLOODING ACROSS THE AREA. MANY
AREA RIVERS ARE ALREADY ABOVE FLOOD STAGE AND ARE FORECAST TO
