ALSO MOST UNSTABLE AIR IS ACROSS THE WESTERN COUNTIES WHILE ALONG THE LAKESHORE THERE IS A LAKE BREEZE FRONT. CONCERN IS THAT NWRN OHIO COULD SEE A FEW STORMS THIS EVENING AS WELL AS THE EAST LAKESHORE AND INLAND LOCATIONS. CU FIELD FIRST DEVELOPED SOUTHEAST SO BEST MOISTURE WOULD LIKELY BE THERE. WILL HAVE CHANCE POPS FOR THE EVENING SOUTHEAST AND SLIGHT CHANCE ELSEWHERE. DOWNBURST POTENTIAL IS AGAIN THERE WITH ANY TALL CORE GIVEN THETA-E DROP WITH HEIGHT. LOWS A DEGREE OR TWO ABOVE GUIDANCE. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
