LIGHT WINDS AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE HAS LEAD TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF WIDESPREAD DENSE FOG FOR MUCH OF THE EASTERN HALF OF THE STATE...EXCEPT PERHAPS RIGHT NEAR THE VIRGINIA BORDER. IN ADDITION...THE GROUND MOISTURE AND SFC RIDGING AHEAD OF THE FRONT HAS KEPT TEMPERATURES IN A RELATIVELY MILD RANGE FROM THE MID 30S TO THE MID 4OS OVERNIGHT. THE MODELS ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT ALOFT THROUGH 54 HOURS AS THE SHORTWAVE DROPPING PAST TO THE NORTHEAST OF KENTUCKY SWINGS QUICKLY OUT INTO THE ATLANTIC AND STRONG RIDGING MOVES INTO THE OHIO VALLEY FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY. ATTENTION THEN TURNS TO A PROGRESSIVE CLOSED LOW ROLLING THROUGH THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND LIFTING INTO THE MIDWEST. COMPARED TO THE NAM...THE GFS IS A BIT FURTHER NORTH AND DEEPER WITH THIS FEATURE BY SATURDAY NIGHT AS IT LIFTS BY TO THE NORTHWEST. THE REST OF THE MODELS AND THE ENSEMBLES LEND GREATER SUPPORT TO THE GFS SOLUTION SO IT WAS FOLLOWED FOR THIS FORECAST. SENSIBLE WEATHER WILL FEATURE A BREAKUP OF THE FOG EARLY THIS MORNING AS THE WINDS GET STIRRED UP WITH THE FRONT COMING THROUGH. FOR NOW THE DENSE FOR ADVISORY LOOKS ON TRACK TO CONTINUE UNTIL 9 AM.

THE INSTABILITY APPEARS TO BE LACKING WITH THIS BOUNDARY AS IT LOOKS TO BE COMING THROUGH AT AN UNFAVORABLE TIME FOR DEVELOPMENT...HOWEVER THE LOW LEVEL WIND FIELDS DO LOOK IMPRESSIVE. FOR NOW...KEPT THE CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS IN FOR SATURDAY NIGHT WITH THE MAIN FRONT ALLOWING JUST COLD RAIN IN ITS WAKE FOR SUNDAY. DID NOT STRAY TOO FAR FROM THE MOS GUIDANCE FROM THE MAV WITH JUST SOME TERRAIN BASED ADJUSTMENTS FOR LOWS EACH NIGHT. WITH THE POPS...
