DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1)
THE CENTER OF SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES OFF TO THE EAST AS A
BROAD MID LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS INTO THE AREA TODAY AND THRU THE
ENTIRE WORK WEEK. THIS RESULTS IN A WARMING TEMPERATURES AND
INCREASING MOISTURE BEGINNING LATE TONIGHT. SOME FIRE WEATHER
CONCERNS MAY DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON 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. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE INCREASES 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 LATE
TONIGHT/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 CONTINUES
TO BE LOW DUE TO MODEL SOLUTION SPREAD REGARDING TIMING AND
STRENGTH.
AVIATION /06Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE OFF TO THE EAST TODAY. THIS WILL
LEAD TO INCREASING SOUTHERLY WINDS DURING THE DAY WITH SOME GUSTS IN
UP TO 25 KTS DURING THE AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE, HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS WILL
CONTINUE DURING THE DAY. A WEAK DISTURBANCE WILL LEAD TO A CHANCE FOR
SHOWERS LATE TONIGHT INTO MONDAY. HAVE A PROB 30 AT THE KCVG 30 HOUR
TAF AFTER 09Z. ALSO, A LOW LEVEL JET WILL OFFER A PERIOD OF LOW LEVEL
WIND SHEAR OVERNIGHT.

THROUGH WEDNESDAY. WIND GUSTS AROUND 30 KNOTS POSSIBLE ON MONDAY.
