1015 PM EDT TUE SEP 6 2005

SUNNY SKIES RULED ACROSS OHIO AND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MID WEEK.

ANOTHER SUNNY...WARM AND DRY DAY WAS FELT ACROSS OHIO TODAY AS THE 
TOTAL MINUTES OF SUNSHINE RANGED FROM OVER SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTY TO
NEARLY SEVEN HUNDRED MINUTES. HIGH TEMPERATURES RANGED IN THE UPPER 
70S TO THE MID 80S. IT REACHED 84 DEGREES AT BOTH CINCINNATI AND 
TOLEDO...WHILE AKRON CANTON CAME IN WITH 78 DEGREES.

AS THE EVENING FELL UPON THE BUCKEYE STATE...TEMPERATURES DROPPED 
INTO THE LOW 60S TO NEAR 70 DEGREES. LIGHT EASTERLY WINDS LESS THAN 
5 MPH KEPT BREEZES DOWN AS SINKING AIR FROM HIGH PRESSURE OVER 30.35 
INCHES OF MERCURY LINGERS OVER THE OHIO VALLEY.

NO SIGNIFICANT WEATHER CHANGES ARE EXPECTED ACROSS OHIO TONIGHT 
THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT. PERHAPS...A FEW PATCHES OF LIGHT FOG MAY 
DEVELOP IN SOME LOCALIZED AREAS...OTHERWISE MOSTLY CLEAR WITH LOWS 
IN THE 50S. 

TOMORROW WILL BE ANOTHER DRY DAY WITH SOME CLOUDS NORTH BUT MOSTLY 
SUNNY SOUTH. HIGHS WILL AGAIN BE IN THE LOWER TO MID 80S.

THE CAUSE OF THIS DRY WEATHER IS A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE EXTENDING 
FROM NEW ENGLAND ACROSS OHIO. THE RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN AND 
MOVE SOUTH TOMORROW AND THURSDAY AS A WEAK COLD FRONT MOVES INTO 
NORTHERN AND CENTRAL OHIO FOR THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT. THIS 
FRONT WILL HAVE LIMITED MOISTURE SO JUST A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND 
THUNDERSTORMS ARE IN THE FORECAST OVER THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE 
STATE THURSDAY.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN AGAIN FOR FRIDAY AND A RIDGE OF HIGH 
PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO BE OVER THE AREA FOR THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. 
HIGHS WILL AGAIN BE A LITTLE ABOVE NORMAL IN THE LOWER TO MID 80S.

DURING THE NIGHT SKIES WERE CLEAR WITH ISOLATED PATCHES OF DENSE 
FOG. THE FOG BURNED OFF QUICKLY AFTER SUNRISE. LOWS WERE GENERALLY 
IN THE 50S.
