SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY STILL BE ON GOING ACRS THE ERN ONE THIRD OF THE CWFA...WHILE A FEW SHOWERS WILL LINGER BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. SKIES WILL GRADUALLY BECOME PARTLY CLOUDY FROM NW TO SE AS SOME DRIER AIR FROM THE SFC TO 850 MB MOVES INTO THE FCST AREA FROM THE NORTHWEST. AS FOR TEMPS...CURRENT FCST OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE MID AND UPPER 60S LOOK GOOD...SO WILL NOT CHANGE. HIGHS ON TUESDAY WILL RANGE FROM THE MID AND UPPER 70S ALONG THE LAKE MICHIGAN SHORE LINE...TO THE LOWER AND MID 80S ELSEWHERE...WHICH IS PRETTY MUCH IN LINE WITH MOST MOS GUIDANCE...AND THIS SEEMS REASONABLE GIVEN 1000 MB-850 MB THICKNESS SCHEMES AND 850 MB TEMPS. && .LONG TERM...

GIVEN THE CHANGE FROM CONTINUITY ON THIS LATEST NCEP MODEL ITERATION WILL STICK WITH THE GOING DRY FORECAST AND AWAIT FUTURE MODEL SUPPORT BEFORE ADDING ANY CHANCE POPS. THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE OVER THE GREAT LAKES AND OHIO VALLEY AND BEGIN YET ANOTHER LONG PERIOD OF DRY WEATHER. THE INITIALLY COOL H85 TEMPS ON WEDNESDAY WILL SLOWLY CLIMB EACH DAY WITH HIGH TEMPS BACK TO THE UPPER 80S TO NEAR 90 BY NEXT WEEKEND. HUMIDITY LEVELS WILL STAY RELATIVELY LOW THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK AND THEN BEGIN TO INCREASE NEXT WEEKEND AS DEEPER SOUTHERLY RETURN FLOW DEVELOPS ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE DEPARTING SURFACE HIGH. MEDIUM RANGE MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SHOW A MORE ROBUST SHORTWAVE DIGGING INTO SOUTHEAST CANADA THIS WEEKEND THAT MAY DRAG A WEAK COLD FRONT THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES. WITH MODEL UNCERTAINTIES AND THE LACK OF STRONG UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT AND DEEP MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE WITH A DRY FORECAST FOR THE UPCOMING WEEKEND UNTIL DETAILS BECOME MORE CLEAR. OTHERWISE MID/UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL SLOWLY BUILD ACROSS THE CENTRAL CONUS THIS WEEKEND WITH HEAT BEGINNING TO SPREAD EAST OUT OF THE PLAINS TOWARD THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. && .AVIATION... 18Z-18Z. SFC ANALYSIS AND VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY AT 17Z DEPICTED A PREFRONTAL TROF/BOUNDARY FROM SE WISCONSIN INTO ERN AND CNTRL IL. THIS PREFRONTAL TROF/BOUNDARY WILL CAUSE SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP ALONG AND AHEAD OF IT. THESE SHOWERS/STORMS MAY AFFECT THE KSBN TAF SITE BETWEEN 20Z AND 24Z. THEREAFTER...A COLD FRONT JUST TO THE WEST OF THE PREFRONTAL TROF/BOUNDARY WILL MOVE TOWARD THE REGION. THE FRONTAL ZONE WILL INTERACT WITH A MOIST AND STABLE AIRMASS. NAM AND GFS 12Z MODELS ALSO CONTINUE TO PIVOT A SUBSTANTIAL S/WV FROM MISSOURI INTO NRN/CNTRL INDIANA BY 06Z. THE LIFT FROM THE S/WV (AND UPR JET SUPPORT ) COMBINED WITH INCREASING LOW LVL CONV FROM THE SFC TO 850 MB WILL CREATE A WIDESPREAD SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CLUSTER ACRS ERN IL/INDIANA LATER THIS EVENING INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN WILL CREATE IFR VSBYS WITHIN THUNDERSTORMS. THE CLUSTER OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY WEAKEN SOME IN INTENSITY AS IT PUSHES EAST INTO ERN INDIANA/WRN OHIO OVERNIGHT...BUT THE COVERAGE SHOULD STILL BE FAIRLY SUBSTANTIAL TO INCLUDE WIDESPREAD CONDITIONS AT THE KFWA TAF SITE. THE COLD FRONT WILL BE LOCATED ACRS SE MICHIGAN/ERN INDIANA BY 12Z AND EAST OF THE CWFA BY 15Z.
