.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1)

A cold front will progress through the area this afternoon and
evening. Isolated showers and storms are possible ahead of the
front. A marginal risk for severe storms exists given fairly robust
deep layer shear (50+ knots winds aloft) and low to moderate
instability in place (~1000 J/kg MLCAPE). However, storm coverage
appears to be on the lower end and shear is mostly straight line
without much veering in the wind profile. Damaging wind gusts are
the most likely threat in any strong storms. The most likely area for
storms to occur is across central Ohio.

The shower and storm chances end this evening after FROPA. There
will be a noticeable drop in dew points behind the front as winds
shift to the northwest tonight.

KEY MESSAGE 2)

Southerly flow redevelops across the Ohio Valley by Tuesday
afternoon/evening after a warm front lifts through the region
bringing the return of warm, humid conditions. Rain chances start to
increase Tuesday night north of I-70 and spread south through the
end of the work week. A stationary front slowly sagging south likely
will act as a focus for rainfall. Zonal upper level flow could
support weak shortwave troughs periodically increasing chances for
rain through the week.

Tuesday likely features the most widespread heat before temperatures
across the north slowly moderate with the front slowly sinking into
the area. Areas south of the Ohio River may not experience FROPA
until the weekend.

.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
A cold front will move through the area this afternoon and evening
bringing the chance for isolated showers and thunderstorms along
with VFR ceilings. Outside of any showers/storms, VFR conditions are
likely for the TAF period.

Light westerly winds increase out of the northwest after FROPA this
evening. Winds gradually veer to the northeast Monday morning.

OUTLOOK...Thunderstorms are possible on Thursday.
