H20 LOOP INDICATES THERE MAY BE A WK DISTURBANCE PUSHING THRU ERN IA ATTM. RADAR/SFC OBS SHOW SOME SHWR ACTVTY AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE OVR IL/WRN IND. NOT SEEING ANY EVIDENCE OF VSBY RESTRICTIONS YET...BUT GIVEN THE INTENSITY OF A FEW OF THE ECHOES...SUSPECT THERE MAY BE SOME BRIEF MVFR RESTRICTIONS IN THE HEAVIER SHWRS. EYEBALLING THE MOVEMENT OF THE WV...LOOKS LIKE IT WL PROBABLY BE ARND 280700Z-281000Z BEFORE THIS DISTURBANCE EXITS THE AREA...SO THERE IS A RISK OF SNOW SHWR ACTVTY ACRS THE TAF SITES THRU THAT TIME...BUT THE CHCS OF VSBY RESTRICTIONS DIRECTLY AFFECTING A PARTICULAR TERMINAL APPEAR SMALL AND BRIEF.

MODELS WERE DECENT AGREEMENT THIS RUN. WILL USE A BLEND. CLOUDS WERE GRADUALLY FILLING IN UPSTREAM...SO EXPECT MOSTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE TONIGHT. COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE FA TONIGHT AND USHER IN MUCH COLDER AIR. EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO TUMBLE OVERNIGHT IN STRONG COLD ADVECTION REGIME. 2M TEMPERATURES...WHICH SEEM TO BE DOING PRETTY GOOD AT THE MOMENT...HAVE TEMPERATURES GOING DOWN TO VALUES IN BETWEEN MAV/MET NUMBERS BY MORNING. THIS LOOKS REASONABLE. NOT A LOT OF DEEP MOISTURE FOR THE FRONT AND APPROACHING UPPER TROF TO WORK WITH...SLIGHT CHANCE POPS MOST AREAS LOOK GOOD. ON SUNDAY CORE OF COLD AIR WILL MOVE ACROSS THE FA. WITH CLOUDS AROUND...DO NOT EXPECT MUCH IF ANY TEMPERATURE REBOUND. THE ONLY EXCEPTION MAY BE ACROSS SWRN FA WHERE SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS MAY DEVELOP AS SURFACE HIGH NUDGES IN THERE. GIVEN THIS SCENARIO...MAV TEMPERATURES LOOK TOO WARM. WILL GO CLOSER TO MET NUMBERS MOST AREAS. UPPER TROF MOVING ACROSS THE FA ALONG WITH THE COLD AIR MAY SQUEEZE OUT SOME SNOW SHOWERS. WILL CONTINUE WITH LOW CHANCE TO SLIGHT CHANCE POPS. NERN FA MAY ALSO BE INFLUENCED BY LAKE ENHANCED SHSN...SO WILL GO A LITTLER HIGHER POPS THERE.

CURRENT MVFR VSBYS SHOULD LIFT QUICKLY AS DRIER AIR WORKS IN. LATER TONIGHT STRONG COLD ADVECTION KICKS IN AND MVFR CIGS SHOULD DOMINATE.
