.SYNOPSIS...
-- Changed Discussion --
A FEW THUNDERSTORMS MAY POP UP THIS EVENING INTO EARLY TONIGHT IN
THE HUMID AIRMASS ASSOCIATED WITH A STALLED BOUNDARY. A WAVE OF
LOW PRESSURE TRAVELING ALONG THE BOUNDARY WILL BRING ENHANCED
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES LATE TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY. FOR
WEDNESDAY...DRY CONDITIONS WILL ACCOMPANY HIGH PRESSURE AS IT
MOVES ACROSS THE NORTHEAST UNITED STATES.

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
-- Changed Discussion --
FORECAST AREA IS PRECIP FREE AT THIS TIME. WITH CAPES AROUND 2000
J/KG EVIDENT...ISOLATED TSRA COULD FORM THIS EVENING IN OUR
HUMID AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS. HOWEVER...LACK OF MAJOR FORCING
THROUGH EARLY TONIGHT SHOULD KEEP CELLS FROM BECOMING NUMEROUS.

THAT WILL CHANCE LATER TONIGHT WHEN A RATHER VIGOROUS SHORT WAVE
MAKES ITS WAY TOWARD THE AREA FROM THE SOUTHWEST. MOISTURE AND
FORCING WILL INCREASE ACCORDINGLY...AND THERE WILL A GOOD CHANCE
FOR THUNDERSTORMS AFTER MIDNIGHT IN SOUTHWESTERN COUNTIES. LOWS
TONIGHT WILL FALL TO ABOUT 64.

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
-- Changed Discussion --
NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED BY NOON TUESDAY AS ONE SHORT
WAVE TRAVELS THROUGH KENTUCKY AND ANOTHER SHORT WAVE ENTERS FROM
THE NORTHWEST. THE HIGHEST CONCENTRATION OF STORMS MAY BE OVER
SOUTHEAST COUNTIES WHERE GREATEST FORCING AND MOISTURE WILL
COINCIDE WITH PEAK HEATING. A FEW STORMS COULD BECOME SEVERE
HELPED BY A MODERATE MID LEVEL WESTERLY FLOW. THUNDERSTORMS WILL
DIMINISH TUESDAY NIGHT WITH LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING AND WITH
FORCING EXITING EAST. HIGHS TUESDAY WILL REACH THE LOW 80S WITH
LOWS TUESDAY NIGHT BACK INTO THE 60S.

80S.

SOME MODEL SOLN DIFFERENCES EXIST REGARDING HOW FAR EAST THE RIDGE
BUILDS AND RESULTANT...HEAT AND SUPPRESSION OF DEEP CONVECTION.
LATEST OPERATIONAL ECMWF/GFS WOULD SUGGEST THAT WIDESPREAD
CONVECTION WILL HOLD OFF THRU SATURDAY. WILL ALLOW SLIGHT CHC POPS
SATURDAY NIGHT AND LOW POP CHANCE TO DEVELOP SUNDAY WITH SOME
EVIDENCE THAT A THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX WILL DIVE SE INTO THE OHIO
VALLEY. SINCE A GOOD DEAL OF UNCERTAINTY EXISTS AT THIS TIMEFRAME
REGARDING TIMING AND PLACEMENT HAVE LIMITED POPS. SFC FRONT TO LAY

STRATUS HAS GENERALLY LIFTED ACROSS THE REGION...FORMING A
SCT-TO-BKN CUMULUS DECK AT LEVELS HOVERING VERY CLOSE TO THE
MVFR/VFR THRESHOLD. ANY REMAINING MVFR CEILINGS SHOULD LIFT BY
19Z.

THERE WILL BE SOME POTENTIAL FOR CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT THIS
AFTERNOON AT THE COLUMBUS TAF SITES...AND THEN DURING THE EVENING
AT THE CINCINNATI LOCATIONS. CONFIDENCE IS VERY LOW IN
SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE...SO A VCSH WILL BE USED IN THE
FORECAST. SOME MVFR MIST IS EXPECTED OVERNIGHT...BUT CONDITIONS
ARE NOT AS FAVORABLE FOR WIDESPREAD IFR FLIGHT CATEGORY
DEVELOPMENT.

TOMORROW...THERE WILL BE A SLIGHTLY GREATER (AND SLIGHTLY MORE
ORGANIZED) CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS...GENERALLY AFTER THE 18Z END
OF THE REGULAR TAF PERIOD.
