EXPECT PARTIAL CLEARING...WHICH IS NOW ACROSS SOUTHWESTERN INDIANA...TO APPROACH THE OHIO RIVER AND AREAS WEST OF INTERSTATE 65 BY LATE AFTERNOON. CLEARING HAS WRAPPED AROUND AN OCCLUDED CLOSED LOW LOCATED IN MINNESOTA AND ATMOSPHERE HAS CURRENTLY BECOME QUITE UNSTABLE ACROSS SOUTHERN ILLINOIS AND CENTRAL INDIANA...WITH LIS OF UP TO -5. BY LATE AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO REDEVELOP ALONG SURFACE MOIST AXIS CORRESPONDING TO CURRENT INSTABILITY NORTHWEST OF OUR CWA. STRONG UNIDIRECTIONAL WIND SHEAR AND MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL ALLOW SOME STORMS TO BECOME SEVERE...WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. FARTHER TO THE SOUTHEAST...IN OUR CWA ALONG AND NORTH OF THE OHIO RIVER...ATMOSPHERE HAS BEEN SLOWER TO RECOVER FROM SHOWERS EARLIER THIS MORNING. SHOULD STORMS INITIATE...THE SOUTHERN END OF THE EXPECTED LINE OF CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO EXTEND TO SOUTHERN INDIANA AND NORTHERN KENTUCKY LATER THIS EVENING. THE BEST CHANCE OF ANY SEVERE WEATHER THIS EVENING WILL LIE ALONG AND NORTH OF THE OHIO RIVER. AS THE MID LEVELS CONTINUE TO DRY OUT...THE THREAT OF STORMS WILL MOVE EAST OF THE BLUEGRASS REGION EARLY TOMORROW. FOR SATURDAY...HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL DEPEND UPON CLOUD COVER. FORECAST 3000FT RELATIVE HUMIDITIES SHOW THAT A BROAD EXPANSE OF LOW CLOUDINESS ASSOCIATED WITH WRAP-AROUND MOISTURE WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST EARLY TOMORROW. EXPECT A WIDE VARIATION OF CLOUD COVER RANGING FROM MOSTLY SUNNY ALONG THE TENNESSEE BORDER TO CLOUDY ACROSS SOUTHERN INDIANA. TEMPERATURES WILL STAY COOL TOMORROW ACROSS AREAS WHERE CLOUD COVER PERSISTS. JSD .LONG TERM (SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)... SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY... LOW CLOUD COVER WILL BE THE INITIAL PROBLEM FOR THIS FORECAST PERIOD. CYCLONIC FLOW SHOULD KEEP LOW CLOUDS ACROSS THE NORTHERN CWFA AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD. AS WINDS BACK THESE CLOUDS WILL DISSIPATE SUNDAY MORNING JUST AS HIGH CLOUDS BEGIN TO OVERSPREAD THE REGION. AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH JUST OFF THE WEST COAST THIS AFTERNOON WILL TRAVEL ACROSS THE COUNTRY THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THERE ARE SOME DIFFERENCES ON THE TIMING OF THIS SYSTEM WITH THE GFS THE MOST PROGRESSIVE. THIS WILL OBVIOUSLY AFFECT THE TIMING OF THE WARM FRONT SUNDAY AND COLD FRONT MONDAY AND FOR NOW WE WILL BLEND THE GFS AND EUROPEAN MODELS. A COLD FRONT WHICH WILL CROSS OUR FORECAST AREA TONIGHT WILL STALL OVER SOUTHERN TENNESSEE. AN INCREASING SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL BRING THIS FRONT NORTHEAST AS A WARM FRONT SUNDAY AFTERNOON. THE ATMOSPHERE WILL BE SOMEWHAT UNSTABLE SO I EXPECT WE WILL SEE SCATTERED ELEVATED THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP NORTH OF THE FRONT. IN THE WAKE OF THE WARM FROM WE WILL SEE INCREASING SOUTHWEST WINDS AND TEMPERATURES WARM INTO THE LOWER 70S LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON. THE SURFACE LOW WILL TRACK ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES MONDAY AND AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE REGION. LOW LEVEL WIND FIELDS WILL INCREASE TO 50KTS AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND DEPENDING OF THE TIME OF THE FRONTAL PASSAGE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED STRONG STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE. MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY... AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS FORECAST PERIOD WE WILL FIND AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AXIS FROM THE GREAT LAKES INTO VIRGINIA AND A DEEP CLOSED LOW OFF THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST. ACROSS THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY COOL HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION TUESDAY WITH TEMPERATURES NEAR NORMAL FOR EARLY APRIL. READINGS WILL GRADUALLY WARM EACH DAY AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS THE REGION. THE NEXT SYSTEM TO AFFECT THE OHIO VALLEY WILL ARRIVE FRIDAY AS THE FORE MENTIONED WEST COAST LOW TRAVELS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. BACKING WINDS WILL INCREASE THURSDAY AND TEMPERATURES WILL RESPOND WITH HIGHS IN THE 70S. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL ARRIVE THURSDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUE FRIDAY. --JA LMK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KY...NONE. IN...NONE. &&
