WHAT HAS CHANGED

Showers and thunderstorms ending this morning.

KEY MESSAGES

1) A drier and somewhat cooler airmass will move in behind a cold today and into Saturday. A secondary cold front will bring additional showers and thunderstorms on Sunday along with cooler temperatures for early next week.

DISCUSSION

KEY MESSAGE 1) The initial line of showers and storms is moving quickly southeast across southeast portions of our area early this morning. With the outflow moving out ahead of this line and the storms moving into a less favorable environment, expect a continuing weakening trend through daybreak, although a few showers may linger across our far southeast through the morning hours. Otherwise, surface high pressure will shift east across the mid/upper Ohio Valley tonight into Saturday, providing drier and somewhat cooler conditions.

In progressive westerly flow aloft, some additional mid level energy will help push a secondary cold front east through the Ohio Valley on Sunday. This will lead to another round of showers and thunderstorms later Saturday night and into the day on Sunday. Behind the front, dry and cooler conditions are expected on Monday.

AVIATION /06Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/

Showers and embedded thunderstorms will continue to taper off through daybreak as a cold front moves east across the region. As the pcpn tapers off, we may see a period of MVFR cigs develop toward daybreak and possibly persist through mid morning,. Otherwise, high pressure will build into the region later today and into tonight with VFR conditions expected through the rest of the TAF period.

OUTLOOK... Thunderstorms possible again on Sunday.
