.SYNOPSIS...
Showers expected through the overnight hours as a cold front
crosses the area. High pressure will then provide quiet weather
with less humidity Tuesday through Thursday. Rain chances return
Friday and on into the weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 8 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
KEY MESSAGES:

- Line of showers expected to move through overnight.
- Patchy fog possible in the morning.
---------------------------------------------------------------

Radar is currently showing a broken line of showers extending
from Muskingum County northeastward to Columbiana County. The
line is expected to move through the area by 3am-5am. There is a
low probability (20%-30%) for these showers to develop into
thunderstorms. Severe conditions are not expected for the
remainder of the overnight hours.

Around sunrise, rain should be out of the area, however, there is
fog possible (~30%) in parts of Westmoreland and Fayette Counties
(PA) as well as Preston and Tucker Counties (WV).

&&

.SHORT TERM /8 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
KEY MESSAGES:

- Dry and less humid weather on tap
----------------------------------------------------------------

30 meter height rises Tuesday and 50 meters Wednesday are
expected with 500 mb heights stabilizing around 5850 meters
with relatively fast WNW flow setting up. High pressure at
surface should control the Ohio Valley during the period with
lowering Tds and quiet conditions. Temperatures warm into the
middle 80s by Thursday.

Weak upper trough sneaks across AZ and NM in route to OK/TX
during the period, which will set up our weather for the
weekend.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
KEY MESSAGES:

- Rain chance returns Friday through Monday
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Westerly flow with heights in the middle 580s expected during
the period. Confluent flow pattern aloft northeast of the
central US trough should keep high pressure over the Great Lakes
area and set up a slow moving west-east frontal zone in the Ohio
Valley which will gradually allow for moisture pooling and
destabilization during the period. Flow does weaken and
vertical wind shear would support weakly organized convection
during the period, so overall organized severe threat appears
limited. With weaker wind fields the focus would shift to slow
moving and locally heavy pulse to multi-cell storms that are
mainly diurnally driven.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
A general swath of showers and thunderstorms will continue to
pass through the forecast area from 00Z to 04Z. Thus, some MVFR
and IFR conditions will be possible through the overnight as fog
and stratus develops overnight. Will keep some TEMPO groups in
through dawn concerning the low cigs and low vis through 12Z.

Diurnal mixing, subsidence, and dry advection will ensure all
terminals are VFR by 14z Tuesday with occasionally gusty
westerly flow.

Outlook...
High pressure and weak flow aloft is favored to maintain VFR
and dry weather through the bulk of the day Thursday.

Weak disturbances within the upper flow may bring increased
precipitation chances Friday into the weekend.
