.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...
After a cold start to our Tuesday morning, the weather pattern
will shift to warmer temperatures starting later today. High
pressure over the region will shift towards the East Coast later
today. A return of southerly winds will advect in much warmer
weather today with high temperatures ranging from the lower to
middle 60s over NWPA and the upper 60s to lower 70s over NEOH
and NWOH. Fair weather skies will continue for today with mostly
sunny conditions. A weak front will drift southward across the
lower Great Lakes region tonight with scattered showers and
isolated thunder possible. No severe weather is expected. Some
scattered rain showers may linger into Wednesday over portions
of central Ohio, south of Highway 30. Temperatures will not be
impacted by the passage of the front on Wednesday with highs
back in the upper 60s to lower/middle 70s.

An upper level ridge will move eastward from the Midwest into
the Upper Ohio Valley and Great Lakes region by Thursday. Mostly
sunny to partly cloudy skies are expected with even warmer
temperatures by Thursday afternoon. Thursday`s high temps will
climb into the lower to upper 70s. And the spring like warmth
will continue for Friday with high temperatures in the middle
70s to around 80 degrees. A weak cold front will move from west
to east across the region late on Friday with scattered showers
and isolated thunder possible. Rain chances will become likely
Friday evening and overnight. Temperatures will cool back down
to near seasonable average this weekend but remain in the middle
to upper 60s. Temperatures will warm back upwards by next
Monday ahead of the next weather system moving across the
Midwest into the Ohio Valley.

.AVIATION /06Z Tuesday THROUGH Saturday/...
The area will start with VFR and mostly clear conditions and
light southerly flow with high pressure departing east this
morning. Some mid- and high-level clouds will enter through the
early morning hours and spread across the terminals. For
Tuesday, a warm front will cross the area and allow for enhanced
south to southwest flow across the region. Gusts of 20 to 30 kts
are expected with good mixing in the warm sector. The front will
come back south as a cold front tonight and bring some scattered
showers to the region. Showers could have some embedded thunder
within them, but too low of confidence to include in a TAF at
this time. In addition, the intensity of any rainfall with the
showers appears low and the potential for non-VFR with the rain
is decreasing. Ceilings will lower with and behind the boundary
and some MVFR is possible just after the TAF period.

Outlook...Non-VFR possible in scattered showers and storms
Friday and Saturday.

.MARINE...
The lake is starting out quiet early this morning with light
southerly flow over the basin. A warm front moving through the
region will allow for increasing south to southwest flow this
afternoon. The winds should hit a wall with the cold dome over
the lake and suspect that winds will generally stay in the 10 to
15 kt range except for right at the lakeshore. The warm frontal
boundary will sag south as a cold front tonight into Wednesday
and bring some light onshore flow. High pressure will then enter
over the lake and bring light and variable flow. This system
will move east for Thursday and allow for light southerly flow
to be favored. A low pressure system will target the region for
Friday and Saturday. Southeast to east flow will increase ahead
of this system on Friday. There is some uncertainty on the
trajectory for this system over the weekend but once the system
passes, winds will shift to the north for Saturday and Sunday.
