.SYNOPSIS...
A stalled frontal boundary will drift south today, with shower
and storm chances diminishing. Unsettled weather is then
expected Sunday through Tuesday with a series of crossing
disturbances.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
KEY MESSAGES:

- Lingering convection along the southern border through the
  day today.
---------------------------------------------------------------

The predawn hours will feature a stalled frontal boundary
sagging south through the morning. Expect some showers and
thunderstorms to be ongoing in the predawn hours over the
northern WV area. The main concern here will be the rainfall
which may lead to some minor flooding problems.

As the shortwave departs this morning, the front will be pushed
south of the region during the mid-morning. This results in a
decrease in PoPs during the daylight hours, with most locations
from PIT on north expected to remain dry. This dry weather
continues into Saturday evening, although a few showers/storms
may linger near the Mason-Dixon Line through the day.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
KEY MESSAGES:

- Marginal Severe and Excessive Rainfall Outlooks for Sunday
- Unsettled weather Monday/Tuesday
----------------------------------------------------------------

Another shortwave will lift north through the area tonight. This
will bring the frontal boundary back north as a surface low
begins to develop over OH and push northeast. This will bring
the rainfall back to the forecast area. During the day on Sunday
the surface low will push east bringing additional heavy
rainfall. Instability will be something to watch for Sunday as
most places only register a 60% to 70% probability of even
reaching 1000 J/Kg of SB CAPE. The other main threat would be
rainfall. Most runs of the NBM give a 20% to 30% probability of
even an inch for the area on Sunday. Nevertheless, a Marginal
severe (1 of 5) and a Marginal Excessive rainfall is in effect
for Sunday.

There will be a trailing cold front across the area as the main
low lifts to the northeast. This trailing front will also be
the focal point for additional convection on Monday. The
residence time of the boundary will also pose the potential for
excessive rainfall again on Monday afternoon. A larger area for
Monday is roughly around 80% probability for over 1000 J/Kg of
SB CAPE. This is a bit better than expected. Thus a marginal
severe by SPC and marginal excessive rainfall is in effect for
the area on Monday as well.

The mentioned trough advances across the Central Great Lakes by
Tuesday and then over the Upper Ohio Valley by Tuesday night.
A frontal passage will create another round of showers and
storms on Tuesday. This potential for heavy rainfall will linger
into the overnight as well.

&&

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

- Dry and less humid weather returns Wednesday through Thursday
  night.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

The trough exits during the Wednesday morning period, with high
pressure building into the region. This will result in dry
weather from Wednesday through Thursday night, along with a
slow warming trend. A passing trough will bring a chance of
rainfall back to the area for Friday. The main flow during this
period will be out of the southwest and thus it will remain to
be seen if the potential leads to any severe or flood risk.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
With the recent heavy rain, and some partial clearing, expect
IFR fog and stratus to develop overnight with low level moisture
in place. Another shortwave tracking east along a stationary
front will a bring a few showers/isolated thunderstorms to MGW
and ZZV overnight as the front begins to sink slowly southward.

Expect improvement through MVFR to VFR by afternoon as the front
exits to the south, and dry advection occurs. Mixing should lift
cigs back to VFR levels, though expect a cu/stratocu layer to
persist most of the day.

Outlook...
Restrictions in showers and thunderstorms are expected Sunday as
a warm front lifts north across the region. After a break in
the rain the first half of Monday, additional restrictions and
showers/thunderstorms are expected Monday afternoon into Tuesday
with the approach and passage of a cold front. VFR should
return Tuesday and Wednesday under building high pressure.

OH...None.
WV...None.
