conditions persisting through the foreseeable future.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
Upper level support will increase this evening, as H5 s/w moves
east into the Ohio River valley. Deep convection will increase
over the next several hours ahead of this feature. Mesoscale
models bring the convection in nrn KY by 00Z. An isolated strong
to severe thunderstorms will be possible.
Storms will build north throughout the evening, before gradually
weakening after midnight as instability lessens. Will continue
with the flash flood watch as the PW remain high with dewpoint
sin the upper 60s to lower 70s.
Temperatures will only drop to the mid to upper 60s tonight
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...

Best coverage is expected southeast of I-71 as the front shifts
south with time. Highs on Tuesday will be in the upper 70s.
Convection will be gradually shunted eastward Tuesday night as
a weak high pressure system pushes slightly drier air into the
region.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...

long term time frame. Thunderstorms are in the forecast every day
except for during the day on Friday. With the repeated rounds of

temperatures most nights will generally be in the 60s.
