.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...
Weak high pressure is building down from Ontario Canada this
weekend. Skies will stay pretty much overcast today through
early Sunday with gradual clearing by Sunday afternoon. There
will be a northeast to easterly flow today through Sunday that
will keep temperatures on the cooler side. Temperatures will
range from the middle 50s near the lakeshore to the middle 60s
closer to central Ohio today. High temperatures on Sunday will
range from the upper 50s near the lakeshore to middle to upper
60s closer to central Ohio.

KEY MESSAGE 2...
A low pressure system will track northeastward through the
Midwest into western Great Lakes on Monday with a trailing cold
front. Southerly winds will return on Monday and warmer
temperatures with high temperatures in the lower to upper 70s.
Most of Monday will be dry with partly cloudy skies. Later
Monday night, scattered showers and isolated thunder will move
in from west to east ahead of the approaching cold front. The
actual cold front will move across the area by Tuesday
afternoon. Additional scattered showers and isolated thunder
will be likely on Tuesday. Temperatures will still be warm on
Tuesday in the lower to middle 70s. An upper level trough begins
to take shape over the Great Lakes region for the middle and end
of next week with a cooler weather pattern. A wave of low
pressure will track across the Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic
region on Wednesday with additional chances for scattered
showers over the area. Much cooler temperatures will arrive
later next week with highs in the 50s and overnight lows in the
30s and 40s. We will have to keep an eye on a couple nights late
next week for the possibility of frost and or freezing
temperatures in regards to the growing season.

.AVIATION /00Z Sunday THROUGH Thursday/...
Mostly IFR/LIFR conditions with both ceilings and visibility
(from BR/DZ) are observed across the area, with more MVFR across
Northwest Ohio. These conditions should generally continue
through tonight with LIFR becoming a bit more common, especially
closer to Lake Erie in Northeast Ohio and Northwest
Pennsylvania. A few models are showing fog developing late
tonight in Northeast Ohio and Northwest Pennsylvania. This will
mainly impact KERI but could briefly impact KYNG and KCLE at
times. Conditions will quickly improve to MVFR late Sunday
morning and the VFR with mostly sunny skies by Sunday afternoon.

Outlook...Periodic rain showers with non-VFR are expected
Monday night through Thursday. Occasional thunderstorms are
expected Monday night through Wednesday.

&&

.MARINE...
A high pressure ridge builds slowly from the James Bay area
through tonight and then exits slowly E`ward on Sunday through
Monday. Waves of 3 feet or less are expected as winds around 5
to 15 knots veer gradually from N`erly to E`erly to SE`erly.
Note: patchy fog is expected over Lake Erie the rest of today
through late Sunday morning as colder and fairly moist air
crosses the ~49F lake.

During Monday night through Wednesday morning, a low should
deepen and wobble NNE`ward from the Upper MS Valley to Hudson
Bay. The accompanying warm front should sweep NE`ward across
Lake Erie Monday night through early Tuesday afternoon and be
followed by the E`ward passage of a cold front Tuesday evening
through Tuesday night. By daybreak Wednesday, the cold front
should be located over far-eastern Lake Erie and may stall for a
time before exiting the rest of the lake to the east by midday
as a secondary low potentially moves NNE`ward along the front.
The warm front passage will cause E`erly to SE`erly winds around
15 to 25 knots to veer to S`erly to SW`erly. The cold front
passage will cause S`erly to SW`erly winds around 10 to 20 knots
to veer to NW`erly. Waves as large as 3 to 6 feet are expected
Monday night into Tuesday morning. Waves should then subside
gradually to 3 feet or less the rest of Tuesday through
Wednesday morning. Forecast trends may prompt a Small Craft
Advisory.

During Wednesday afternoon, a trough should linger over Lake
Erie before a high pressure ridge builds from the north-central
United States Wednesday night through Thursday. W`erly to
NW`erly winds around 5 to 15 knots and waves of 3 feet or less
are expected.
