350 PM EDT TUE APR 10 2001

THANKS TO SDF FOR POINING OUT MISTAKE IN MISILN.

SFC FRONT STILL IN NRN FCST AREA BUT PRESSURE RIDGE AND DIFFERENTIAL
HEATING CAUSING SHOWERS TO THE SOUTH. EXPECT BEST STORMS TO BE ALONG
AND SOUTH OF OHIO RIVER THIS EVENING...WITH A SLOW PROGRESSION
NORTHWARD TOWARDS FRONT AS HEATING IS LOST.

TEMPS SHOULD REBOUND TOMORROW AS SOUTHERLY WINDS KICK IN FOR ANOTHER
DAY AS PLAINS SYSTEM MOVES NORTHEAST. CUT BACK A LITTLE ON
HIGHS...BUT WAS STILL THINKING WARM. CONVERGENT BAND LOOKING LIKE A
COLD FRONT WEDNESDAY PM SHOULD NOT COOL TEMPERATURES TOO MUCH AND
THURSDAY SHOULD SEE ONLY A SLOW RISE IN TEMPS AS WINDS TURN
NORTHWEST.

CHANCE FOR SHOWERS IN EXTENDED SHOULD MAINLY FOCUS IN NORTHEAST AND
FAR NORTH WITH NORTHWEST FLOW...AND CONFIDENCE DECREASES IN LATTER
PERIODS.

MISILN OUT.

.ILN...NONE.
