REMNANT MID LEVEL CLOSED CIRCULATION WILL OPEN UP WITH TIME AT THE START OF THE MEDIUM RANGE PERIOD AND LIFT OUT OF THE GREAT LAKES AND OHIO VALLEY BY FRIDAY AND BRING A BRIEF BREAK IN THE UNSETTLED PATTERN. NEXT WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK MORE ENHANCED NORTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL DEVELOP AND ALLOW A SERIES OF DIFFICULT TO TIME SHORTWAVES TO DROP SE ACROSS THE REGION WITHIN THE LARGE SCALE NW FLOW. UNLIKE THE FIRST HALF OF THE PERIOD...MEDIUM RANGE MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THESE SHORTWAVES WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH BELTS OF ENHANCED MID LEVEL FLOW...WHICH SHOULD PROVIDE BETTER CHANCES AT ORGANIZED MASS CONVERGENCE AND A HIGHER ORDER OF THUNDERSTORM ORGANIZATION IF DEEP MOIST CONVECTION DEVELOPS. AT THE START OF THE PERIOD WILL RETAIN CHANCE POPS FOR WED NGT WITH YET ANOTHER MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE ROTATING THROUGH THE MEAN CYCLONIC FLOW. WILL KEEP POPS LOW HOWEVER GIVEN UNFAVORABLE DIURNAL TIMING. ON THURSDAY MOIST CYCLONIC FLOW BEGINS TO PULL AWAY FROM THE CWA...ENOUGH SO TO LIMIT ANY RAIN POTENTIAL ACROSS THE SW ZONES.

ON SATURDAY A DECENT CLUSTER OF ENSEMBLE MEMBERS SUPPORTIVE OF ONE OR MORE SHORT WAVELENGTH FEATURES DROPPING SE THROUGH THE MEAN NW FLOW. INCREASING SW RETURN FLOW BEHIND DEPARTING SURFACE ANTICYCLONE SHOULD PROMOTE RETURN FLOW OF BETTER QUALITY LOW LEVEL MOISTURE INTO THE REGION. TIMING OF THESE FEATURES WILL BE EXCEEDINGLY DIFFICULT AT THIS TIME RANGE...BUT GIVEN THE ENSEMBLE SIGNAL SEEN OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS WILL MAKE AN ATTEMPT AND INTRODUCE POPS FOR SAT AND SAT NIGHT. WILL HOLD OFF ON INTRODUCING POPS FOR SUN THROUGH TUE...BUT ENSEMBLE MEANS AND INDIVIDUAL ENSEMBLE MEMBERS SUGGEST ADDITIONAL SHORT WAVELENGTH FEATURES DROPPING THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES DURING THIS TIME. IF A MORE CONSISTENT MODEL TREND IS SEEN...ADDITIONAL POPS MAY NEED TO BE ADDED FOR SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. PATTERN RECOGNITION WOULD SUGGEST INCREASED CHANCES OF SEVERE WEATHER FOR SATURDAY AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK IF THE TIMING OF THE MORE SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVE FEATURES IS JUXTAPOSED WITH THE PEAK OF THE DIURNAL CYCLE. && .AVIATION...
