.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1)
West northwest flow on the front side of building mid level high
pressure will allow some weak impulses to track across the region
through tomorrow. This will result in a fair amount of mid to high
clouds, especially across northern counties. Still cannot completely
rule out a few sprinkles coming of the mid deck, but probability of
measurable rain is very remote.

Center of the mid level high will move from the mid Mississippi
Valley into the Tennessee Valley Tuesday into Wednesday. Temperatures
across the region will peak during this time frame with highs in the
lower to mid 90s and lows in the lower to mid 70s.

The ridge will start getting suppressed on Thursday and moreso on
Friday as a trough develops from eastern Canada into New England. As
this happens, it may cause a front to sag into the region which at
the very least will bring the potential for some convection. However,
hot conditions may persist into Thursday, especially across southern
areas, before easing off a bit area wide on Friday.

It was early to mid July when temperatures this high were experienced
across the region. Very few days reached even 90 in August. So, although
it is not unusual to be hot in early September, most people will not
be acclimated to such high temperatures at this point in time. This
will bring about some heat stress, especially for those working
outside or who do not have access to air conditioned spaces.

.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Surface high pressure remains centered east of the region with a
frontal zone across the southern Great Lakes. Diurnally driven
cumulus clouds will dissipate with the loss of heating with mid and
high level clouds spilling into the Ohio Valley overnight. A few
sprinkles will be possible across the north overnight with decaying
showers that develop north of the area closer to the frontal zone.
Have not mentioned any precipitation with no impacts expected and
continued VFR conditions. Clouds thin some Monday with continued
VFR conditions.

Light south-southwest winds overnight will increase to around 10 kts
Monday.

OUTLOOK...No significant weather expected.
