.PREVIOUS DISCUSSIONS...

(ISSUED 700 PM EDT SUN JUN 5 2005)
.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT)...
SENT UPDATE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH NUMBER 409 UNTIL 1 AM. NO
OTHER CHANGES.

(ISSUED 330 PM EDT SUN JUN 5 2005)
SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT)...
STRONG S/WV OVR MIDWEST/WESTERN GTLAKES WILL PUSH THROUGH ESPECIALLY
NORTHERN FA TONIGHT...WTH GFS AND NAM IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT ON
TIMING. 18Z SOUNDING AT KILN INDICATED -4 LI AND 2500 J/KG
CAPE...WTH MID LEVEL DRYING BUT NOT TOO MUCH IN THE WAY OF SHEAR.
STILL A BIT OF A CAP...KEEPING ACTIVITY ISOLATED FOR NOW. CAP SHOULD
FINISH LIFTING SOON...SO AM EXPECTING SOME INCREASED ACTIVITY AHEAD
OF LINE OVER NW INDIANA.

BEST CHANCE FOR SHRA/TSRA TO BE MAINLY NORTH OF DAY...ON EAST TO CMH
AREA...MAINLY BEFORE 06Z. TROF BECOMES WEAKER OVERNIGHT...WTH
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH 12Z...THEN SOME
DIURNAL ACTIVITY ACCOMPANYING THE FRONTAL PASSAGE EARLY MONDAY. HAVE
STUCK CLOSER TO COOLER MAV TEMPS TONIGHT...AND KEPT SLIGHTLY COOLER
IN FAR NW WTH BEST CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION HERE. COOLER TEMPS FOR
MONDAY WITH FROPA...AND AGAIN STUCK CLOSER TO MAV NUMBERS.

STILL SOME RISK FOR TSRA IN MAINLY SOUTHERN AND EASTERN FA ON
MONDAY...BUT BEST INSTABILITY PARAMETERS AND FORCING SHOULD BE
SLIGHLY SOUTHEAST OF FA. FOR MONDAY NIGHT...RIDGE SETTING UP BEHIND
FRONTAL PASSAGE WILL ALLOW SOME SUBSIDENCE AND AT LEAST PARTIAL
CLEARING.

(ISSUED 330 PM EDT SUN JUN 5 2005)
LONG TERM (TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)...
WEAK 5H RIDGING IN PLACE ACROSS AREA THROUGH WEDNESDAY WITH 8H TEMPS
FORECAST TO CLIMB TO AROUND +16 TO +17 DEGREES CELSIUS. WITH LACK OF
FORCING AND POSSIBLE CAP...THINK ANY THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN
ISOLATED AT BEST IN THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING BOTH DAYS SO
WILL MAINTAIN A DRY FORECAST ATTM. AS RIDGE TRANSITIONS SLOWLY TO
THE EAST THROUGH THE WEEKEND...LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE DEEPER MOISTURE
WILL BE PULLED UP INTO AREA FROM THE SOUTH ACCOMPANIED BY SOME WEAK
IMPULSES. WILL THEREFORE GO WITH LOW CHANCE POPS THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST. EXPECT ANY THUNDERSTORMS TO BE MAINLY
DIURNALLY DRIVEN SO WILL GO WITH THE BEST CHANCE IN THE LATE
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING EACH DAY. AS WE APPEAR TO BE
TRANSITIONING INTO MORE OF A SUMMER TIME PATTERN...DID NOT STRAY TOO
FAR FROM MEX GUIDANCE NUMBERS WHICH GENERALLY KEEP DAYTIME HIGHS IN
THE MID 80S AND OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE MID 60S.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EASTERN INDIANA...NORTHERN
KENTUCKY AND THE SOUTHWEST QUARTER OF OHIO.

SEVERE, WITH THE MAIN THREAT BEING DAMAGING WINDS. LARGE HAIL WILL
ALSO BE POSSIBLE.

HOT TEMPERATURES AND HIGH HUMIDITY WILL CAUSE HEAT INDICES TO RISE
INTO THE UPPER 90S THIS AFTERNOON. CONDITIONS WILL FEEL OPPRESSIVE
FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS YEAR. PERSONS, ESPECIALLY THOSE WITH
RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS AND THE ELDERLY, ARE ADVISED TO DRINK PLENTY OF
NON-ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, WEAR LIGHT COLORED CLOTHING, AND REMAIN IN

SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
408 PM EDT SUN JUN 5 2005

...HEAT INDEX WILL REMAIN HIGH TONIGHT AND MONDAY...

WARM MOIST AIR WILL CONTINUE TO FUNNEL INTO THE REGION
TONIGHT...RESULTING IN TEMPERATURES REMAINING ABOVE 80 DEGREES
UNTIL JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT. THE HEAT INDEX VALUES WILL REMAIN
IN THE LOW TO MID 80S THROUGH MIDNIGHT. LOW TEMPERATURES
OVERNIGHT WILL ONLY DROP TO THE UPPER 60S TO EVEN LOW 70S...
RESULTING IN MUGGY CONDITIONS PERSISTING. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BRING SPOTTY RELIEF OVERNIGHT.

THE HEAT INDEX IS A WAY OF ASSESSING HOW IT ACTUALLY FEELS OUTSIDE BY
COMBINING THE EFFECTS OF THE TEMPERATURE AND DEW POINT.

FOR MONDAY...THERE WILL BE A LITTLE RELIEF TO THE HIGH
TEMPERATURES...WITH THE PASSAGE OF A COLD FRONTAL SYSTEM KEEPING
HIGH TEMPERATURES BELOW 90 DEGREES.

THIS FIRST SHOT OF HOT AND STICKY WEATHER CAN BE ESPECIALLY
HARD ON THE HUMAN BODY SINCE IT HAS NOT YET ACCLIMATED TO THE SUMMER
TEMPERATURE REGIME.  TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE THE OHIO VALLEY HAS JUST
EXPERIENCED A COOL MONTH OF MAY WHERE THE MEAN TEMPERATURE WAS NEARLY
4 DEGREES BELOW AVERAGE FOR THE MONTH.

BELOW ARE SOME HEAT RELATED SAFETY TIPS TO HELP COPE WITH THIS WARM
SPELL:

DRINK PLENTY OF WATER AND NON-ALCOHOLIC FLUIDS.

WEAR LOOSE...LIGHTWEIGHT AND LIGHT COLORED CLOTHES.

BE CAREFUL HOW YOU USE YOUR FANS.  A FAN POINTED DIRECTLY AT
PERSON MAY DEHYDRATE THE PERSON BY REMOVING MOISTURE FROM THE SKIN.
USE A CIRCULATING FAN INSTEAD TO MOVE AIR THROUGH THE ROOM.

DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN AND PETS UNATTENDED IN A CLOSED VEHICLE.

BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR AND FRIEND.  CHECK ON THOSE WHO MAY BE AT HIGH
RISK FOR HEAT-RELATED ILLNESS.

INDIVIDUALS ON ANTI-DEPRESSANTS AND HEART MEDICATIONS SHOULD CHECK
WITH THEIR DOCTOR TO SEE IF THE HEAT PUTS THEM AT INCREASED RISK.
