&& .SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... A frontal boundary will remain over the region early Monday morning. This front will lift northward as a warm front during the late morning/early afternoon. In addition, the region will remain on the eastern side of a broad upper level trough. A weak wave will travel along this frontal boundary with a chance of some showers possible Monday afternoon. Monday night, a second warm front will lift towards the region from the south, with an area of low pressure developing along this front. Most of the forecast guidance has this low passing south and east of the region. PWATs do increase Monday night to around 1.5 inches, so any rain Monday night may produce moderate to locally heavy rainfall. However, it still remains too early for any specifics on timing and areal coverage of this. Temperatures on Monday will climb into the lower and middle 80s with lows Monday night in the upper 60s and lower 70s. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... Tuesday through Friday will remain unsettled as a series of waves of low pressure track through the region. The forecast remains rather similar to previous forecasts, with some uncertainty with the timing of the waves of low pressure. A deeper low is expected to move north of the Great Lakes and into southern Canada, and then into the Canadian Maritime Thursday into Friday. This low will send a cold front across the region Thursday night into Friday morning. With a humid airmass across the region there will be the potential for rounds of moderate to briefly heavy rainfall with any of the waves of low pressure, and the area is in a marginal risk for excessive rainfall Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. After the frontal passage high pressure will be building in from the west, bringing a drier airmass to the region. The long term period will feature near normal high temperatures, with overnight lows slightly above seasonal normal as dew points will remain in the mid 60 to possibly into the lower 70s. Dew points will be somewhat lower, in the lower and mid 60s, Friday through next Sunday. && .AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
