.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 338 AM EDT Sat Jul 29 2017

High pressure will result in dry conditions well into next week
with the next chance for showers and thunderstorms starting on
Wednesday. An upper trough and associated cold front will then
keep shower and thunderstorm chances in the forecast through the
extended period. Meanwhile, temperatures through the period will
be below normal initially with a warming trend commencing early
next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /Today/...

Issued at 338 AM EDT Sat Jul 29 2017

High pressure aloft and at the surface over the Midwest region
will result in mostly sunny skies and dry conditions today.
However, northeasterly flow will keep temps a bit below normal
with highs only topping off in the upper 70s/low 80s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /Tonight through Monday Night/...

Issued at 338 AM EDT Sat Jul 29 2017

The benign weather will continue for the duration of the short
term period. High pressure will keep conditions dry with plenty of
sunshine. A weak warming trend will commence though with highs
slowly climbing back into the mid 80s and overnight lows in the
low to mid 60s.

&&

.LONG TERM /Tuesday through Friday/...
Issued at 310 AM EDT Sat Jul 29 2017

Dry weather will continue Tuesday as high pressure across Indiana
moves on to the east.  Models indicate an upper trough will drop
into the upper midwest Wednesday and deepen across the great lakes
Thursday and Friday.  A cold front will move our way Thursday and
to the Ohio valley Friday.   This will result in low chances of
thunderstorms late Wednesday and better chances of storms Thursday.
Scattered showers and a few storms may linger into Friday...but
confidence is not as high as Thursday.

Temperatures will be near to slightly above normal Tuesday and
Wednesday and cooler than normal late next week as the cold front
moves through.  Overall superblend temperatures seem reasonable.
