LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING...THERE IS DECENT INSTABILITY...GENERALLY 1000-1500 J/KG. WITH RELATIVELY LOW WBZ(S)...MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS EVENING WITH ANY OF THE STORMS THAT DEVELOP. THE ONGOING CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY TO THE WEST WILL DECREASE IN INTENSITY AND COVERAGE INTO THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. FOR THURSDAY...A H5 TROF MOVES EAST THE FCST AREA BY THE AFTERNOON.

FAST WNW H5 FLOW DOMINATES THE REST OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. THIS PATTERN FAVORS CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY ALONG THE SRN EDGE OF THE WESTERLIES. ON SATURDAY IT APPEARS THAT THE FLOW WILL BE THROUGH THE SRN GREAT LAKES...SO TOOK POPS OUT. SRN EDGE THEN DROPS A LITTLE FARTHER SOUTH...PUSHING THE CONVECTION BACK INTO THE FA SAT NGT INTO SUN.
