   ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS MONDAY AFTERNOON
   AND EVENING ACROSS PARTS OF THE LOWER GREAT LAKES INTO LOWER OHIO
   VALLEY...

   CORRECTED FOR BAD NDFD GRID

   ...SUMMARY...
   Strong thunderstorms may impact parts of the lower Great Lakes into
   lower Ohio Valley Monday afternoon and evening, accompanied by at
   least some risk for potentially damaging wind gusts.

   ...Synopsis...
   Models indicate that short wave troughs within the mid-latitude
   westerlies across the northeastern Pacific into western Canadian
   provinces will remain progressive through this period, and modestly
   amplified downstream ridging is forecast to shift east of the
   Canadian and northern U.S. Rockies, through the Canadian Prairies
   and adjacent international border area.

   To the east of the ridging, an elongated mid-level low, embedded
   within broad, larger-scale troughing, may continue to gradually dig
   east-southeastward across Ontario, the Great Lakes region and
   western Quebec.  An associated surface cold front, likely reinforced
   by outflow generated by considerable thunderstorm activity, may
   progress southeast of the lower Great Lakes region and Ohio River,
   while also advancing into Ozark Plateau and south central portions
   of the Great Plains by late Monday night.  Mostly well south of the
   stronger westerlies, and beneath relatively warm mid-level air,
   severe thunderstorm potential seems limited Monday through Monday
   night.

   ...Lower Great Lakes into lower Ohio Valley...
   Within the larger-scale cyclonic mid-level flow, models continue to
   indicate that at least one significant short wave impulse will dig
   southeast of the Upper Midwest, before turning eastward and
   northeastward across the Great Lakes into southern Ontario and
   western Quebec.  Most guidance indicates that this will contribute
   to some strengthening of southwesterly to westerly flow in the 850
   to 500 mb layer (to 30+ kt) across the Lakes Erie into Ontario
   vicinity by late Monday afternoon, and perhaps as far southwest as
   portions of the lower Ohio Valley.  It appears that this could
   coincide with a corridor of pre-frontal boundary-layer
   destabilization (CAPE up to 2000+ J/kg), supported by daytime
   heating, surface dew points near 70F, and perhaps weak mid-level
   cooling.  This environment may become supportive of upscale growing
   convection capable of producing potentially damaging wind gusts,
   aided by heavy precipitation loading, late Monday afternoon into
   Monday evening.
