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

   ...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...
   Mature cyclone over northern Saskatchewan and far northwest Ontario
   early Monday is forecast to progress southeastward into central
   Ontario. As it does, a compact, low-amplitude shortwave trough will
   move through its base across the Upper Great Lakes. This evolution
   will help encourage further southeastward progress of an associated
   cold front. This front is forecast to begin the period extending
   from lower MI southwestward into central, before gradually moving
   southeastward throughout the day. By early Tuesday morning, this
   front is expected to extend from western NY southwestward through
   the TN Valley and then back westward along the OK/KS border. 

   Farther west, upper ridging will remain in place over the Southwest.
   Northern portion of this ridge will extend into the northern
   Rockies/Interior Pacific Northwest early in the period before
   dampening a shortwave trough move out of central CA and across the
   Great Basin.

   ...OH Valley/Lower Great Lakes into the central/southern Plains...
   Moist and unstable air mass, with afternoon temperatures in the
   upper 80s and dewpoints in the upper 60s/low 70s, will be in place
   ahead of the cold front mentioned in the synopsis. Widespread
   thunderstorm development is anticipated during the afternoon and
   evening along the front from the central/southern Plains into the
   Upper OH valley/Lower Great Lakes region. Much of this activity will
   be displaced south of the stronger flow aloft, resulting in a weakly
   sheared environment and predominately pulse/disorganized storm mode.
   The only exception is across portions of the Upper OH Valley and the
   Lower Great Lakes region where slightly stronger flow aloft will
   contribute to enough vertical shear for more persistent/organized
   updrafts. A few of these updrafts may be strong enough to produce
   isolated damaging wind gusts.
