AN EXPANSIVE RIDGE AXIS EXTENDS FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND
INTO THE OHIO VALLEY THIS AFTERNOON WITH HIGH PRESSURE AT THE
SURFACE. A SURFACE BOUNDARY IS POSITIONED WELL TO THE SOUTH
WHICH WILL KEEP MOST OF THE FOCUS FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS TO OUR
SOUTH. HOWEVER, A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS/STORMS ARE IN THE
FORECAST FOR MOSTLY SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA THIS
AFTERNOON. THE RIDGE BECOMES SUPPRESSED AS WE GO INTO THE WEEK
WITH A DISTURBANCE DRIFTING THROUGH THE MIDSOUTH. SOME ENHANCED
CONVERGENCE SHOULD YIELD AN INCREASE IN SHOWER AND STORM
ACTIVITY DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS TOMORROW THROUGH FRIDAY. AT
THIS TIME ONLY PULSE STORMS ARE EXPECTED WITH LITTLE IF ANY
STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS. PWS CLIMBING BACK TO NEAR OR JUST ABOVE
2IN WOULD PRODUCE HEAVY RAIN RATES. GOING INTO THE WEEKEND, THE
MAIN STORY WILL BE THE HEAT COMING BACK WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER
80S TO LOWER 90S.
