A PROGRESSIVE MID-LEVEL TROF WILL CONTINUE TO RAPIDLY ADVANCE  
ACROSS SOUTHERN CANADA AND CLIP THE NORTHERN TIER STATES THROUGH  
THE GREAT LAKES WEDNESDAY. THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL BRING  
SOME LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS ACROSS THESE AREAS, BUT SLOWLY DRY OUT AS  
IT CROSSES SOUTHEAST CANADA AND THE NORTHEAST BY THURSDAY. WARM  
AIR ALONG/AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL ONCE AGAIN PROMOTE WELL ABOVE
