THROUGH THE REGION ON TUESDAY. ANOTHER LOW WILL MOVE OUT THE
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY LATER IN THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
15Z RUC ANALYSIS INDICATED A SHORT WAVE TROF CENTERED OVER
MINNESOTA AND IOWA WITH THE OHIO VALLEY IN A SWRLY FLOW AHEAD OF
THE SYSTEM. AT THE SFC...A 1005 MB LOW IS CENTERED ACROSS NERN
IOWA...WITH A COLD FRONT EXTENDING SWD INTO TEXAS. AN AREA OF
ISENTROPIC LIFT ALONG WITH WEAK INSTABILITY ALLOWED FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF ISOLD-SCTD CONVECTION THIS MORNING. THIS IS
LINGERING WITH SOME ISOLD SHOWERS ACROSS THE WRN HALF OF THE CWA.
THE 12Z ILN SOUNDING INDICATES MORE INSTABILITY THAN THE MODELS
HAVE PICKED UP ON...WITH 1500 J/KG...ALTHOUGH IT WAS ELEVATED.
MOISTURE HAS NOTICEABLY INCREASED THROUGHOUT THE ATMOSPHERIC
COLUMN...WITH PWAT UP TO 1.47. THE LATEST LAPS ANALYSIS INDICATES
THE BEST INSTABILITY DEVELOPING ACROSS S-CNTRL OH AND NERN KY WITH
CAPE AROUND 1500 J/KG. MEANWHILE...INSTABILITY IS LIMITED ACROSS
THE NWRN HALF OF THE CWA WHERE CLOUD COVERAGE AND MORNING
CONVECTION HAVE BEEN LIMITING FACTORS. TEMPS RANGED FROM THE LOWER
80S ACROSS THE SERN HALF OF THE CWA TO THE MID 70S ACROSS W-CNTRL
OH.

THIS AFTERNOON...H5 VORT MAX AND SFC LOW WILL LIFT NEWD INTO
MICHIGAN WITH A COLD FRONT APPROACHING THE OHIO VALLEY FROM THE
WEST. ISOLD-SCTD CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP THIS
AFTN...FIRST ACROSS S-CNTRL OH AND NERN KY WITH THE BEST
INSTABILITY...AND THEN ACROSS THE CWA INTO THE EARLY EVENING. FCST
MODELS ARE INDICATING WEAK SHEAR INTO THIS AFTN...WITH PULSE
STORMS EXPECTED. THE RUC13 IS INDICATING A WEAK H5 VORT MOVING
THROUGH THE NWRN HALF OF THE CWA...WHICH WOULD HELP TO INCREASE
COVERAGE OF CONVECTION THERE LATE THIS AFTN. SPC HAS HIGHLIGHTED
THIS AREA WITH A SLIGHT RISK. WITH MDT 0-6KM SHEAR THIS
EVENING...IT IS POSSIBLE THAT A FEW SEVERE STORMS COULD DEVELOP
THERE. FOR TEMPS...HAVE INCREASED TEMPS 2-3 DEGREES TO ACCOUNT
FOR THE LATEST TRENDS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
AS LOW PUSHES THRU THE ERN LAKES TNGT...CDFNT DROPS INTO THE FA.
WITH LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING...EXPECT ONLY SCT COVERAGE OVERNIGHT.

BY 12Z TUE...GFS/ECMWF HAVE FRONT ABOUT HALF WAY THRU THE FA.
KEPT BEST POPS ON TUE IN THE S/SE. EXPECT A DRYING TREND FROM THE
NW DURING THE DAY ON TUE.

GFS APPEARS TO BEGIN TO BE AFFECTED BY FEEDBACK ISSUES BY TUE
NIGHT...AS IT KICKS A INTENSE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM INTO THE OH VALLEY
LATE TUE NIGHT. DISPITE ITS ISSUES...THE ECMWF AND UKMET GIVE
SOME CREDENCE TO THE GFS AS THEY BRING A WEAKER AND SLOWER SYSTEM
OUT OF THE MS VLY. WENT WILL LOW CHC POPS IN THE W LATE TUE
NGT...THEN SPREAD SCT PCPN ACRS THE FA ON WED.

ONCE AGAIN HIGH TEMPS WERE AT OR BELOW THE COOLEST GUIDANCE
YESTERDAY. ALSO...SINCE THE NAM SOLUTION HAS BEEN THROWN OUT BY
NCEP...WENT WITH THE COOLER MAV GUIDANCE THRU THE PERIOD.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
IN SPLIT FLOW PATTERN AN ACTIVE WX PERIOD IS EXPECTED FOR THE LONG
TERM. NUMERICAL MODEL SOLNS GENERALLY SIMILAR WITH GROSS FEATURES
BUT SOME DIFFERENCES EXIST IN TIMING AND PLACEMENT OF THE FRONTAL
POSITIONS AND ASSOCIATED WAVES. HAVE TRENDED FCST SOLN CLOSE TO
HPC/ECMWF BLEND.

MORE SIGNIFICANT SRN STREAM WAVE TO LIFT OUT FROM THE SRN PLAINS
INTO THE OHIO VALLEY ALONG THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY THURSDAY. THIS WL
BRING AN ENHANCED CHC OF PRECIP TO THE REGION. HAVE BUMPED UP POPS
TO LKLY ACRS THE SOUTH AND HIGH CHANCE ELSEWHERE ON THURSDAY. MID
LEVEL FLOW TRANSITIONS A LTL MORE NWRLY AND SFC HIGH PRESSURE
BEGINS TO BUILD IN FRIDAY. GFS HAD BEEN QUICKEST DRYING OUT THE
REGION...BUT LATEST RUN NOW HAS A SECOND WAVE DEVELOPING AND
LINGERS PRECIP ON FRIDAY. HAVE LINGERED A CHANCE ACRS SE AND S ON
FRIDAY AND THEN DRY OUT. AS FLOW AMPLIFIES AND BECOMES
NORTHWESTERLY...SFC HI PRESSURE WILL PROVIDE DRY WX LATER ON
FRIDAY AND THRU NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
THE TERMINALS WILL SEE THE POSSIBILITY FOR A FEW ROUNDS OF PRECIP
AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT WHICH WILL CROSS THE REGION ON TUESDAY.
TEMPO GROUPS ARE FCST AT CMH/LCK THROUGH 20Z FOR ONGOING -SHRA.
AFTN CB GROUPS ARE FCST WITH VCSH...AS INSTABILITY SHOULD ALLOW
ISOLD CONVECTION TO DEVELOP. SECOND ROUND OF SHOWERS SHOULD REACH
CVG/LUK AFTER 21Z...WITH ISOLD -TSRA POSSIBLE. CONVECTION WILL
ADVANCE EWD...HOWEVER TIMING AND LOCATION WITH ISOLD-SCTD COVERAGE
IS DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT AT THIS TIME...SO WENT WITH VCSH THROUGH
12Z ACROSS THE TERMINALS. ABUNDANT SFC MOISTURE WILL ALLOW FOR A
PERIOD OF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS DURING THE PRE-DAWN HRS ACROSS THE
TERMINALS.
