A MID LEVEL RIDGE MOVES ACROSS FROM THE WEST SUPPRESSING PCPN ACROSS
THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY...BUT

GETS HIT WITH STRONGER CONVECTION COULD SEE HAIL AND HIGH WINDS.
CONVECTION WILL GENERALLY DECREASE IN COVERAGE AFTER 02Z
TONIGHT...WITH AREAS OF LOW END MVFR STRATUS...OR MVFR/IFR FOG IN
AREAS THAT RECEIVE CLEARING.
THE LAGGING SURFACE FRONT WILL BECOME DIFFUSE OVER THE AREA LATE
