Weather conditions are starting out mostly rain free with mostly
cloudy skies. There are some patchy areas of fog across
northwest Ohio this morning. A surface trough west of the area
will move across later this afternoon and evening. Scattered
showers and isolated thunderstorms will move west to east across
the area. Rainfall amounts will be light averaging around a
quarter of an inch. High temperatures will be in the lower to
middle 70s this afternoon. Rain chances will gradually end from
west to west late this evening. Some patchy fog may be possible
again late tonight through sunrise Monday morning.

A change in the weather pattern will bring a return of warmer
and drier conditions starting tomorrow on Memorial Day. A weak
area of high pressure will build in across the eastern Great
Lakes on Monday. Skies will start off mostly cloudy Monday
morning with clearing skies by the afternoon. High temperatures
for Memorial Day will climb into the middle 70s to near 80
degrees. An upper level ridge will develop over the north
central U.S. and western Great Lakes region through the middle
of this week. Overall the rain chances will be minimum through
the middle of this week with chance POPs possible by Wednesday
afternoon. Temperatures will warm into the lower and middle 80s
Tuesday and Wednesday. Drier weather is expected for the end of
the week into the weekend as high pressure builds southward from
Ontario and across the Great Lakes. Temperatures will be near
seasonable average in the lower and middle 70s for the end of
this week.

.AVIATION /12Z Sunday THROUGH Thursday/...
Fairly widespread MVFR ceilings are observed across the region
with pockets of IFR/LIFR ceilings and visibility across the
region. The patchy fog that impacted terminals to the west has
begun to dissipate and visibility has increased to at least IFR
and will continue to improve to MVFR over the next couple of
hours. Rain showers will move into the region this afternoon,
though still anticipate MVFR ceilings with isolated reduced
visibilities. Behind the cold front tomorrow morning, there is
potential for lowered visibility and ceilings within fog as high
pressure builds in.

Winds across the region are generally light and variable with
any sustained winds coming out of the south-southeast. Gusts at
KERI will continue to dissipate through the morning. Winds will
shift around from the south to the southeast with the rain
showers, then become westerly behind, still light at less than
10 knots.

Outlook...Non-VFR possible with lingering rain showers and lower
ceilings Sunday night into Monday morning. Non-VFR possible
with rain showers on Wednesday.

.MARINE...
Winds have subsided across the eastern basin of Lake Erie down to 5-
10 knots out of the south to southeast. Today, a cold front will
pass across Lake Erie and winds will shift to be out of the north at
5-10 knots. Light winds, at less than 10 knots, with waves 1 foot or
less are expected across the lake through Wednesday evening as high
pressure builds into the region.
