THE FRONT WILL SLIDE TO THE SOUTH SATURDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRING LESS HUMID AIR FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY ACROSS INDIANA AND OHIO WITH THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS KENTUCKY. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/... SCATTERED SHRA AND TSRA ACROSS WESTERN AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF CWA. THIS SHOULD DIMINISH WITH SUNSET WITH ISOLATED SHRA POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT. COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE NORTHWEST BY LATE NIGHT WITH A FEW SHRA AND TSRA TOWARD DAYBREAK. LOWS NEAR GUIDANCE. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... COLD FRONT PROGGED TO DROP ACROSS AREA ON SATURDAY AND SATURDAY EVENING. WILL KEEP HIGH CHANCE/LIKELY POPS GOING WITH DIMINISHING TREND FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST THROUGH EVENING. SPC INDICATING SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WHICH LOOKS REASONABLE CONSIDERING PARAMETERS. CLOUD COVER MAY BE A FACTOR OF LIMITING SEVERE BUT PROBABLY NOT THAT MUCH. TEMPS DEPENDENT ON CLOUD COVER AND EXTENT OF SHOWER COVERAGE. BELIEVE WILL SEE QUICK WARM UP IN THE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON BEFORE SHRA/TSRA BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD. NEAR GUID FOR LOWS SATURDAY NIGHT. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... CONTINUED TO LEAN TOWARD THE ECMWF FOR THIS FORECAST PACKAGE WHICH HAS SHOWN THE BEST RUN-TO-RUN CONSISTENCY...AND IS SUPPORTED BY THE GFS ENS MEAN. EXPECT FRONT TO BE PUSHING INTO CENTRAL AND SRN KY ON SUNDAY...WHICH SHOULD KEEP RAIN CHANCES CONFINED TO THE SOUTH OF THE CWA. HELD ON TO SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE FAR SOUTH JUST IN CASE THE FURTHER NORTH GFS SOLN WERE TO VERIFY. NORTHWEST FLOW PATTERN CONTINUES INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...WHICH INTRODUCES A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY AS MODELS STRUGGLE WITH TIMING OF SHORTWAVE DISTURBANCES IN THIS PATTERN. GFS...NAM AND ECMWF ALL BRING A STRONG SFC WAVE AND AN ASSOCIATED CONVECTIVE COMPLEX THROUGH PARTS OF THE OHIO VALLEY LATE SUNDAY NIGHT AND EARLY MONDAY. WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS FEATURE CONTINUE TO APPEAR IN LATER MODEL RUNS BEFORE I CAN JUMP ON THIS SOLUTION. FOR NOW...SIDED WITH THE FURTHER SOUTH ECMWF AND KEPT CHANCE POPS CONFINED TO THE SOUTHWEST SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY MORNING. MEDIUM RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO AGREE ON THE GENERAL PATTERN EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH A BRIEF PERIOD OF RIDGING MOVING INTO THE OHIO VALLEY ON TUESDAY...FOLLOWED BY A WEAK FRONT WEDS AND WEDS NIGHT. && .AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. CU WILL BE PRESENT THIS AFTERNOON. NEXT CONCERN IS APPROACHING COLD FRONT ON SATURDAY AND INTO SATURDAY NIGHT. WINDS WILL START OUT FROM THE SOUTH AND GRADUALLY BECOME SW ON SATURDAY AS FRONT APPROACHES. MID TO HIGH CLOUDS WILL BEGIN TO SPREAD INTO TAF SITES DURING THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS. WINDS WILL BEGIN TO PICK UP ON SATURDAY AS SYSTEM APPROACHES. IN ADDITION TO THIS HAVE INDICATED CB AT TAF SITES AFTER 16Z TO INDICATE DEVELOPMENT AHEAD OF COLD FRONT. HAVE ADDED VCTS AFTER 20Z AT KCVG DUE TO LONGER TAF PERIOD. MODEL SOUNDINGS DO INDICATE THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME MVFR CIGS AROUND SATURDAY MIDDAY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS. AT THIS POINT HAVE LOWERED CIGS BUT HAVE KEPT VFR. FUTURE UPDATES WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH FOR THESE CIGS AND TIMING OF PRECIP.
