.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1)

Surface high pressure continues to build across the Ohio Valley from
the northwest today. Dry conditions and below average temperatures
persist with highs in the 70s to near 80.

The surface high shifts east of the region this weekend which will
allow warmer temperatures and higher dew points to move back into the
area from the south. Shower and thunderstorms chances return along with
the summer like conditions. Upper level shortwave troughs moving
through the northwesterly flow aloft could lead to periods of greater
storm coverage at times. One potential period for more storm
activity is Monday evening and Monday night. Instability may end up
overlapping with strong shear when a potential cluster of storms or
MCS sinks into the Ohio Valley from the northwest. Confidence is
low regarding the details at this time frame, but there is a signal
for convective activity somewhere in the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley
late Monday.
