.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 224 AM EDT Mon Apr 29 2024

Wrapped out upper low over SD will lift out into srn ON by late
tonight with cold front washing out through the wrn OH valley today.
Upstream band of showers/storms will trickle east into nwrn areas
around daybreak with a brief rumble of thunder possible. Otherwise
this is expected to rapidly decay ewd post sunrise through cntrl
zones. Thereafter some redevelopment expected this aftn far e/se
within wrn flank of departing theta-e ridge with a rumble possible
here. Expect most areas inbetween to end up mainly dry.

Weak high pressure follows Tue-early Thu along with height
amplification aloft ahead of vigorous nrn plains sys and will yield
warm temps near 80 Wed & Thu. Better defined cold front in
association with this sys looks to sweep through the lakes late
Thu/Fri with a decent looking chance of showers/storms. Otherwise
dry and mild next weekend.

precipitation. Winds will be gusty once again today up to 25
kts. VFR conditions return after 00-03Z by the end of the TAF
