SATELLITE AND SFC OBSERVATIONS SHOW AN AREA OF WEAK LOW LVL
CONFLUENCE MARKED BY A REGION OF TCU EXTENDING FROM NEAR CMH NNE TO
NEAR CLE. AN ADDITIONAL CONFLUENCE ZONE HAS BECOME ESTABLISHED
ALONG LAKE BREEZE BOUNDARY EXTENDING ENE FROM CLE INTO NW PA.

DIURNAL HEATING OF MOIST LOW LVL ENVIRONMENT AND RELATIVELY COOL MID
LVL TEMPS /AROUND MINUS 12C AT 500 MB/ HAVE RESULTED IN SIZABLE
SBCAPE ACROSS REGION...WITH VALUES AOA 3000 J/KG. TSTMS SHOULD
FORM/INCREASE ALONG BOTH CONFLUENCE ZONES OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS.

LARGE SCALE ASCENT WILL REMAIN WEAK THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY
AS STRONG...NEGATIVE TILT UPR MS VORT LOBE PIVOTS NE ACROSS WI/LK
MI. BUT CONTINUED HEATING/LOW LVL UPLIFT ALONG CONFLUENCE
AXES...COUPLED WITH ARRIVAL OF STRONGER WSWLY MID LVL FLOW ON SERN
