...Updated Aviation Discussion...

.Short Term...(This evening through Tuesday night)
Issued at 310 PM EDT Mon Jun 5 2017

Late this afternoon steady rain showers were slowly exiting south
central KY.  The flash flood threat is over so cancelled the watch a
little early.

Isolated to scattered showers/storms are still expected to develop
ahead of a cold front sinking south late this afternoon/evening.  A
cell has popped up over central KY and a better line of convection
has developed over east central IN/central OH as of 3pm.  Enough
wind shear and instability exist over southern IN/north central KY
for storms to pose a small hail and gusty wind threat in addition to
brief heavy rainfall this evening. This convection should diminish
by late evening with the rest of the overnight hours mainly dry.

Do expect some fog to develop overnight especially over south
central KY which has received the most rainfall over the last 24-36
hrs. Any fog formation will be battling dry air advection though
behind the front late tonight into Tues morning.  Still feel most
locations over south central KY will see fog...maybe even some
patchy dense fog depending on how quickly the drier air arrives and
clouds clear. Lows tonight should range from the upper 50s to lower
60s.

Tuesday will feature dry, pleasant weather behind the cold front.
Highs will top out in the mid 70s to around 80 with lower humidity.
Lows Tues night will fall back into the 50s.

.Long Term...(Wednesday through Monday)
Issued at 330 PM EDT Mon Jun 5 2017

Wednesday - Friday...

An upper low lingering over the northeast U.S. will provide a mainly
dry mid week with below normal temperatures.  Some models do
indicate a couple of disturbances on the back side of the low
producing a few light showers but kept the forecast mainly dry.
Highs Wed/Thu should range through the 70s with lows in the 50s.

The upper low will begin to exit the continental U.S. by the end of
the work week resulting in rebounding temps over the Ohio Valley
with highs back into the upper 70s/lower 80s for Fri.

Saturday - Monday...

Weak disturbances may bring small chances for showers on Sat and
again on Mon but expect a mostly dry period from Sat-Mon.  A strong
upper level ridge will begin to work into the region by late in the
weekend causing temps to warm each day.  By Sun/Mon highs will be
back in the upper 80s to around 90 with humidity levels increasing
as well.

&&

.Aviation...(This evening through tomorrow evening)
Issued at 700 PM EDT Mon Jun 5 2017

Line of showers and thunderstorms currently across portions of
southern Indiana and northern Kentucky moving southward at this
hour. Will see reduced visibilities and gusty winds along the line,
but it should move out of the region over the next few hours.
Clearing skies will allow some fog to develop tonight, with greatest
concentration over south-central Kentucky. Visibilities could fall
as low as IFR with isolated areas of LIFR. After sunrise should see
fog burn off quickly with VFR conditions expected the rest of the
day.
