Discussion
High pressure off the east coast will keep warm moist air at the surface for one more day. A cold front near the Mississippi River will slowly move eastward on Wednesday. The approach of the front will supply a little more rising motion. With small scale boundaries left behind from earlier convection, there may be enough lifting to generate scattered showers and thunderstorms. In areas that see more sunshine, the afternoon could produce a little more instability. The instability in conjunction with small midlevel disturbances rotating around an upper low over the northern Mississippi River Valley could cause some of the thunderstorms to approach severe criteria. The thunderstorms could persist into Wednesday evening. The cold front will cross Ohio on Wednesday night and it will usher in cooler air for the rest of the week. Scattered showers will linger into Thursday.
