DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1)
HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES EAST ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND MID-ATLANTIC TO
NORTHEAST CONUS TONIGHT, RESULTING IN WARMING TEMPERATURES AND
INCREASING MOISTURE FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEKEND. A BROAD MID
LEVEL RIDGE WILL BUILD IN ALOFT OVER THE OHIO VALLEY AND THE EASTERN
PORTION OF THE COUNTRY ON SUNDAY THROUGH THE ENTIRE WORK WEEK. SOME
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS MAY DEVELOP SUNDAY AS SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS
INCREASE WITH GUSTS OF 25 TO 30 MPH. ALONG WITH THE GUSTY WINDS,
MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES OF 25 TO 30 PERCENT ARE EXPECTED
OVER NORTHEAST KENTUCKY AND THE LOWER SCIOTO RIVER VALLEY.
A FEW WEAK DISTURBANCES MOVING WITHIN THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE
RIDGE WILL PROVIDE CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DURING EACH
DAY OF THE UPCOMING WEEK. SURFACE MOISTURE DOES INCREASE INTO THE
OHIO VALLEY, BUT EACH DAY LACKS A SIGNIFICANT FORCING MECHANISM,
WHICH WILL LIMIT CHANCES FOR WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER. HOWEVER, A
MOIST AND WARM SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL SUPPORT SCATTERED SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS.
THE BEST WINDOWS FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LOOK TO BE EARLY
MONDAY, TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY, AND THURSDAY AS SHORTWAVE
ENERGY RIDES ALONG THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE. NEXT WEEKEND
MAY LEAD TO ANOTHER ENHANCED CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
AHEAD OF A FRONTAL BOUNDARY, BUT CONFIDENCE IS LOW DUE TO MODEL
SOLUTION SPREAD REGARDING TIMING AND STRENGTH.
AVIATION /00Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE OFF TO THE EAST TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY.
THIS WILL LEAD TO INCREASING SOUTHERLY WINDS DURING THE DAY ON
SUNDAY WITH SOME GUSTS IN THE 20 TO 25 KNOT RANGE POSSIBLE HEADING
INTO THE AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE, HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE AT
TIMES THROUGH THE PERIOD.
OUTLOOK...MVFR CONDITIONS AND THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE AT TIMES MONDAY
THROUGH WEDNESDAY. WIND GUSTS AROUND 30 KNOTS POSSIBLE ON MONDAY.
