.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...

Weak high pressure builds in from the west tonight, which will
allow for some clearing to occur along with winds
diminishing...leading to enough raditional cooling to generate
patch fog. After the fog mixes out on Sunday morning, the rest
of the day should remain dry and quiet.

The early part of Monday should be mostly quiet as well, but
the next round of showers and storms looks to move in from the
west later in the day Monday. There is some indication that the
remnants of a Midwest MCS could be tracking east through the
southern Great Lakes Sunday night/Monday morning and eventually
into NY/PA by Monday afternoon. An embedded upper short wave
along with this convective system may help sustain the storms as
they track to the east. This will require close watching as
there could be remnants of an EML associated with this
convection as well.

Chances for showers and storms Tuesday and Wednesday appear to
be on the lower side, but given the warm temperatures and high
surface dew points, persistent cyclonic flow and sporadic weak
short waves within the flow, any one period cannot be ruled out
completely for thunderstorms.

A higher chance for showers and storms arrives Thursday with
the arrival of a deep upper trough and associated stronger
forcing. The weekend may be cooler and drier if this trough can
kick east in time.

.AVIATION /00Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Any isolated showers or thunderstorms should stay away from all
terminal sites for the evening hours. Fog and low stratus may
once again try to develop overnight. Uncertainity is higher with
the exception of KELM. IFR/LIFR fog is again a fairly confident
forecast for KELM. Elsewhere, brief restrictions can not be
ruled out from about 08-12Z. VFR on Sunday.

Outlook:

Sunday night through Monday morning...Mainly dry with VFR
conditions expected.

Monday afternoon through Thursday...Unsettled pattern with
periods of showers and scattered thunderstorms with associated
restrictions. Restrictions with overnight fog/low clouds are
also possible.
