.SYNOPSIS...
An upper level disturbance moving through the Ohio Valley will bring
occasional showers and thunderstorms to the area tonight into
Monday. A warming trend will develop through mid week as high
pressure builds into the region.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
A remnant MCS is progressing east into northern portions of our area
early this afternoon. The airmass across much of our area is fairly
grunged out at the moment so generally expect this to remain sub
severe. The question for later this afternoon into early evening will
be how much we will recover in the wake of this first wave of pcpn
as a second mid level short wave is forecast to move across the mid
Ohio Valley through early evening.

Better instabilities currently just to our southwest may be able to
advect up into at least southwest/southern portions of our area
through late afternoon/early evening and several of the hi-res
models are suggesting fairly widespread redevelopment across
southern portions of our area. With PWs near/possibly in excess of 2
inches, torrential rainfall can be expected with the stronger storms
and the potential for flash flooding will exist with any training
storms. Meanwhile, deep layer shear is also forecast to increase in
the 21Z to 00Z time frame and this will support at least a low end
severe threat, mainly along and south of where the
boundary/instability gradient sets up. The main threat will be
damaging winds but it will also be tough to rule out an isolated
tornado near the boundary.

There is some uncertainty in the hi-res models as we head into the
overnight hours with the potential and locations of any additional
redevelopment of showers and thunderstorms. These would likely be
more elevated so the main threat would be locally heavy rainfall,
with the best chance for this again being across our southern areas
in the vicinity of the boundary. Lows tonight will range from the mid
60s in the far north to the lower 70s in the south.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
Pcpn chances will continue across mainly our south into Monday as
the boundary sags slowly off to our south through the day. Some
drier/cooler air will try to advect in from the northeast with highs
on Monday mostly in the lower 80s. Lows Monday night will range from
the upper 50s in the northeast to the mid 60s in the southwest.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A mid/upper level ridge over the mid and lower Mississippi Valley on
Tuesday will expand northeastward into the Ohio Valley
Wednesday through Thursday. With increasing heights, we will see a
warming trend through mid week. Highs on Tuesday will be in the low
to mid 80s, increasing to highs by Thursday mostly in the lower 90s.
While it will be tough to rule out a few diurnally driven
showers/thunderstorms each day, we should remain generally dry
through this period. With dewpoints into the 70s, some afternoon
heat indicies of around 100 degrees will be possible as we get into
mid to late in the week.

Mid level energy moving through the Great Lakes will help flatten
out the ridge heading into the weekend, with a transition back to
more of west to northwest flow patten aloft. This will lead to some
better chances for showers and thunderstorms through the second half
of the long term period Highs will be in the upper 80s to around 90
degrees Friday through Sunday.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
The remnant convective complex will push east and mainly affect the
northern TAF sites over the next couple of hours. Fairly widespread
MVFR cigs are lingering across our area early this afternoon but
these should gradually lift up into VFR as we head through late
afternoon into early evening. Meanwhile, showers and thunderstorms
are expected to redevelop/become more widespread as we head through
late afternoon and into this evening as additional mid level energy
moves through the Ohio Valley. MVFR to locally IFR conditions will be
possible with the stronger storms through this evening, especially
at the southern TAF sites. More widespread ares of MVFR to IFR
stratus will then develop later tonight and linger into Monday
morning.

OUTLOOK...Thunderstorms possible Friday.
