THE EARLY MORNING OHIO WEATHER STORY
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH 
600 AM EDT SUN MAY 11 2003

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BECOME MORE NUMEROUS DURING THE LATE 
NIGHT HOURS BUT THESE WILL COME TO AN END AT LEAST BRIEFLY THIS 
MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON. 


IT WAS A MILD NIGHT ACROSS THE BUCKEYE STATE WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS 
AND THUNDERSTORMS BECOMING MORE NUMEROUS AS DAWN APPROACHED. 
TEMPERATURES RANGED FROM THE MID 60S TO THE LOWER 70S JUST PRIOR TO 
DAYBREAK. 

DEEP LOW PRESSURE OVER WISCONSIN WAS HELPING TO PUSH A COLD FRONT 
EAST AND IT SHOULD MOVE ACROSS OHIO TODAY. THIS SHOULD PUT AN END TO 
THE MORE VIOLENT THUNDERSTORMS FOR A WHILE. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS ARE  
STILL POSSIBLE OVER A GOOD PART OF THE STATE THROUGH THIS MORNING 
AND FLASH FLOOD WATCHES REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR A GOOD PART OF OHIO 
THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS. 

COOLER AIR WILL SPILL OVER THE STATE LATER TODAY. DRIER CONDITIONS 
ARE ALSO LIKELY THIS AFTERNOON...BUT MOISTURE WILL WRAP AROUND THE 
LOW PRESSURE AREA AND MOVE BACK INTO THE STATE WITH THE THREAT OF 
SHOWERS ESPECIALLY ACROSS NORTHERN PARTS OF THE STATE. 

WINDS ARE ALSO EXPECTED TO PICK UP DURING THE DAY AND BECOME VERY 
STRONG AND GUSTY. HIGH WIND WARNINGS AND ADVISORYS ARE IN EFFECT FOR 
PARTS OF OHIO FOR TODAY AND OR TONIGHT.

HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE 70S YESTERDAY WILL NOT BE LIKELY TODAY... 
EXCEPT POSSIBLY OVER EASTERN PARTS OF OHIO THIS MORNING. HIGHS ON 
MONDAY WILL LIKELY RANGE THROUGH THE 50S IN THE NORTH TO THE LOW AND 
MID 60S IN THE DEEP SOUTH.
