.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 241 PM EDT Sat Jul 6 2024

A weakening upper level trough will continue to move NE over the 
next 24 hours with skies slowly clearing tonight into Sunday. The 
clouds and modest CAA have kept afternoon temps in check, mainly in 
the 70s. Cu field has popped across much of the area with pocket of 
cooler mid level temperatures with hints of lake shadow clearing out 
any clouds. Overall quiet conditions are expected into at least 
early Monday with temperatures moderating back to near/slightly 
above normal for Sunday and Monday as a northern stream trough 
begins to dig into the northern Plains Sunday and further deepens 
into the upcoming week. A series of disturbances will move through 
the trough but the proximity of high pressure to the east should 
keep any precip away from the area until Monday afternoon at the 
earliest. 

An increasing low level flow, combined with closer proximity to the 
trough, should bring at least a chance for showers and thunderstorms 
possibly as early as Monday afternoon, but more likely Monday night 
into Tuesday. As noted in the previous discussion, higher PWATs 
could end up yielding a heavy rain threat depending on the coverage, 
intensity and risk of training of convection as the overall trough 
will be slow to move east (if at all) as it encounters and 
eventually phases with the remnants of TC Beryl. The timing of this 
phasing and location of the ridging remains somewhat in question 
with regards to how far north the circulation comes into the Ohio 
Valley. EC/GEM have been somewhat consistent on the energy reaching 
southern IN and OH late Wed into Thursday with the 11 am EDT NHC 
forecast seeming to support this to an extent (low center in 
boot heel of MO 12Z on the 11th). GFS remains more suppressed, 
resulting in the NBM being heavily influenced in this period 
with only slgt chc pops. While the event is still several days 
out and overall track is likely to change, have increased pops 
with IND and ILN to high chc and even low end likely far SE. 
EC/GEM do show, as expected, copious amounts of precip with this
feature that will need to be watched. While temperatures will 
be near normal for much of the extended period, impacts from the
system late in the period could result in further changes.

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z MONDAY/...
Issued at 629 PM EDT Sat Jul 6 2024

Existing TAFs were in great shape amid high pressure in place.
Tranquil conditions carry on through Sunday. The previous
forecast mentioned a non-zero chance of patchy ground fog near
daybreak Sunday. There is no clear signal in the forecast
guidance at this time, so, VFR TAFs remain.
