KEY MESSAGE 1)
MID LEVEL ENERGY WILL MOVE OUT OF THE WESTERN US THIS WEEKEND IN
ZONAL FLOW ALOFT AND PROGRESS EAST ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY INTO EARLY
NEXT WEEK. AS IT DOES, A SURFACE WAVE AND/OR INVERTED TROUGH WILL
SHIFT EAST ACROSS THE TENNESSEE AND OHIO VALLEY REGION. THIS WILL
ALLOW FOR PCPN TO OVERSPREAD OUR REGION SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. THERMAL
PROFILES AND ANY SNOW AMOUNTS WILL BE DEPENDENT ON THE EXACT TRACK
OF THE SYSTEM, BUT AS OF NOW, IT LOOKS LIKE SOME ACCUMULATING SNOW
WILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG AND NORTH OF THE OHIO RIVER. FOR NOW, WILL
KEEP MORE OF A RAIN/SNOW MIX ACROSS OUR SOUTH.
AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE INTO THE AREA TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY.
WITH LIGHT WINDS AND SOME LINGERING GROUND MOISTURE FROM EARLIER
TODAY, SOME PATCHY FOG MAY DEVELOP AT THE SOUTHERN TAF SITES LATER
TONIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY. CONFIDENCE IS NOT TERRIBLY HIGH IN THIS AS
NOT ALL MODELS ARE HINTING AT THIS. WILL THEREFORE LIMIT VSBY
RESTRICTIONS TO JUST A TEMPO GROUP AT KCVG/KLUK FOR NOW.
OUTLOOK...MVFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE SATURDAY NIGHT. MVFR/IFR
CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY.
