KEY MESSAGE 
-- Changed Discussion --
1) A strong storm system will move through the region during the
middle of the week bringing the potential for severe weather,
flooding, gusty winds, and snow.
-- End Changed Discussion --

Quiet weather today and Monday will give way to a more unsettled
weather pattern starting on Tuesday. Shower and thunderstorm activity
will begin to move into the region on Tuesday. Cannot rule out a
strong to severe storm Tuesday into Tuesday night primarily across
western portions of the region, however the main impacts from this
system are expected to be Wednesday into Thursday. Wind gusts in
excess of 40 mph will be likely on Wednesday into Wednesday night
even outside of thunderstorm activity. Wednesday afternoon and into
the early evening hours there will be the potential for severe
weather. There is a lot of moisture with this system, so heavy
downpours will lead to the added potential for renewed flooding
concerns as well. Will continue to highlight all of these threats in
the HWO. Temperatures will drop quickly Wednesday night with
temperatures going from the 70s during the day on Wednesday to 20s
and 30s by Thursday morning. This will allow for a transition over to
snow showers. Snow showers will continue into the day on Thursday
before tapering off later in the day.

.AVIATION /06Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
-- Changed Discussion --
Any shower activity will be light and brief and at the start of the
TAF period as a cold front moves through. The cold front will push to
the east and wind gusts will occur near and just after the frontal
boundary before decreasing. MVFR cigs will move across the region
through the morning daytime hours before returning to VFR conditions
for the remainder of the TAF period.

OUTLOOK...MVFR to IFR ceilings possible Tuesday through Thursday. Wind
gusts above 30 kt possible Wednesday. Thunderstorms possible Tuesday
night into Wednesday.
