Potent srn stream sw will hold south through the TN valley through
Tue before lifting out through the mid atlantic Wed ahead of kicker
nrn stream sw disturbance amplifying sharply through the wrn lakes.
This system looks to bring a good chance for rain to the area Wed as
it swings through the OH valley. Subsequent following secondary
disturbance wraps up through the nrn lakes Fri with another round of
rain likely late Thu into early Fri. Combination of both of these
vigorous systems will drive another shot of cold air, albeit brief,
into the OH valley for Fri. Until then extended spring like
temperatures abound with daily highs in the 60s outside typical lake
shadow northwest zones.
