&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
615 am update...
The ongoing forecast remains on track and no adjustments are
needed at this time.

Previous discussion...
A large and deep upper level trough has developed across the 
Great Lakes region and the Northeast CONUS this morning. A 
secondary cold front has also pushed through the area overnight.
High pressure centered northwest of the Upper Great Lakes 
region will build southward across our area today. We will start
off with mostly clear or fair weather skies this morning around
sunrise. Cloud cover will increase from the north later this 
morning and linger through the afternoon. Most areas will remain
dry today but there could be a few spotty lake effect rain 
showers over NEOH and NWPA later today. North or northwesterly 
winds will increase to 15 to 20 mph during the day with gusts up
to 30 mph possible. High temperatures will range from the upper
50s over NWPA and the lower 60s over NEOH. Across NWOH, temps 
will try to climb to the middle and upper 60s. 

High pressure will build over the Ohio Valley region tonight
with clearing skies. Temperatures will be rather cool with
middle to upper 40s expected away from the lakeshore. Areas
near the lake will be in the lower 50s. Light winds and mostly
sunny skies will return on Tuesday with high temps still below
average, in the upper 60s to middle 70s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
Warming temperatures and mostly quiet weather will be the story 
through mid week as high pressure remains overhead much of the 
Eastern CONUS. The high glides toward the East Coast Wednesday night 
into Thursday ahead of a weak low pressure system. This low will 
drag a cold front toward the Ohio Valley Thursday night bringing our 
next chance for showers and storms. 

Slightly below normal lows Tuesday night rise into low to mid 80s by 
Wednesday. Warmer Wednesday and Thursday night as lows settle in the 
mid to upper 60s. Hot by Thursday with highs roughly 5-10 degrees 
above normal as they rise into the upper 80s to lower 90s.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Aforementioned cold front will continue to sweep southeastward across 
the region during the day Friday with continued chances for showers 
and thunderstorms through Friday evening. Another expansive high 
pressure system will build over the Great Lakes region by Saturday 
and keep dry weather in the forecast through the weekend. 

Highs in the mid to upper 80s Friday will dip slightly by Saturday 
with near normal temperatures in the upper 70s to lower 80s. Warming 
up again Sunday with highs once again approaching 90s across much of 
Northern Ohio, mid 80s in Northwest Pennsylvania. Expect continued 
warmth beyond Sunday as per CPC's 6-10 and 8-14 day outlooks.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z Monday THROUGH Friday/... 
VFR to pockets of MVFR ceilings are expected today. Ceilings
between 2500 feet and 3500 feet will move through during the
day. Skies will generally clear from west to east late this
afternoon into the evening. Winds will northerly today into 
this evening around 10 knots. Winds will relax to 5 knot or less
tonight. Some locations will become light and variable winds 
tonight. 

Outlook...Non-VFR ceilings are possible with scattered showers Thursday
night into early Friday.

&&

.MARINE...
Upper level trough remains situated across Lake Erie and will allow 
for north to northwest winds 10-15 to persist through the day today. 
Onshore flow will allow for wave heights of 2-3 feet through tonight 
with these choppy conditions leading to a moderate risk of rip 
currents during the day today east of the Islands. High pressure 
will gradually build eastward tonight and remain over the region 
through the middle of the week. This will allow for much quieter 
marine conditions with wind speeds under 10 knots through Tuesday 
night. Southerly flow will increase during the day Wednesday and 
Thursday to 10-15 knots.
