.DISCUSSION...
.KEY MESSAGE 1...
High pressure is departing to the east today and tonight,
finally allowing for some return flow into the region, enhanced
by low pressure that will traverse the northern Great Lakes.
Expecting a warm front Tuesday morning, the warm up to above
freezing temperatures, and then a cold front Tuesday evening.
Despite ice-covered Lake Erie, light lake effect snow showers in
the wake of the cold front will be possible, aided by saturated
low levels and cold air advection occurring as well. POPs are on
the expansive side in the snow belt, but low, and QPF/snow
amounts will be quite low as well.


.KEY MESSAGE 2...
High pressure moves in for the end of the week and into the
weekend, prior to low pressure forming over the lower
Mississippi Valley with a warm front extending northeastward
into the Ohio Valley. POPs on the increase late Saturday through
Sunday as the surface low moves towards the mid Atlantic coastal
region.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z Monday THROUGH Friday/...
VFR conditions are seen across the region as skies are clear.
Ceilings at around 10kft will move in from the west by around
15-18Z and over the eastern terminals by 22-23Z. Winds will be
light and variable through the first part of the period, then
becoming predominately out of the southeast at around 5 knots by
this morning.

Outlook...Non-VFR possible in snow showers across NE OH and NW
PA Tuesday night into Wednesday.

&&

.MARINE...
Lake Erie remains nearly completely ice-covered. Winds remain out of
the east-southeast at 10 knots or less today into tonight. Winds
shift south-southwest and increase to 10-15kt late tonight into
early Tuesday ahead of a cold front, shifting west-northwest at 15-
20kt behind the front late Tuesday into Wednesday. West-northwest
winds gradually slacken on Thursday into Friday. Ice will be prone
