.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 135 AM CDT Sat Sep 14 2024

As soupy dew points near 70F hold, Francine`s extra tropical
remnants may yet put out another 1/4-1/2" of rainfall across
portions of our south today, even as its circulation center
drifts further southward/away from the region. Locally higher
amounts up to about 3/4" are possible in western Ky near the Tn
border.

Meanwhile, high pressure over the middle and upper Ohio
Valley will all but end our pops in our northeast counties, with
scant additional rainfall expected there. Pops dwindle across
the remainder of the Forecast Area as it all winds down by
early next week, with the ridge of high pressure blocking
return flow moisture as we transition to a drier and warmer
pattern for the bulk of the new work week. Temperatures
ultimately return to the mid and upper 80s.

AVIATION...
ered this morning.
Cigs range from VFR to occasional MVFR where scattered showers
occur. Lower IFR bases are not out of the question, but this
chance is low and confined mainly to KCGI/KPAH. Daytime heating
will continue shower/storm chances but it will be lower overall
today vs yesterday and again, with these chances mainly further
south at KCGI/KPAH.
