.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 /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 1245 PM CDT Sat Sep 14 2024

Scattered showers will continue to stream northwest mainly over
KCGI and KPAH through this evening. The thunder chance is too
low to mention TS anywhere. There is a signal for LIFR
conditions to develop over KCGI and possibly KPAH overnight into
the early morning hours. Given the expected mid-level clouds,
fog is not likely, so mentioned IFR or lower ceilings at both
locations.
