.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...

The dry pattern that has been in place for the last week plus
will mostly continue into the weekend as high pressure and
ridging dominates the region.

Behind an earlier passing cold front, a drier and briefly cooler
airmass will advect into the region. This will cause reductions
to Td/RH values today and combined with the dry pattern for the
last week plus, some fire weather concerns will continue.
However, winds are expected to remain mostly on the lighter
side, helping to limit any more elevated concerns.

Dry weather will continue through the day on Thursday ahead of
an approaching cold front. The cold front, extending southwest
from a sfc low tracking from the Upper Great Lakes into Canada,
will cross the area Thursday night into Friday morning. Guidance
is starting to trend slightly wetter with the passing front, but
most of the showers should be near/north of I90 for Thursday
night into Friday morning. Ahead of the approaching cold front,
temperatures and dewpoint values will increase each day for
Wednesday and Thursday as southerly flow develops.

Mainly dry conditions are expected for Friday afternoon through
at least most of Sunday afternoon. A sfc low will track across
the Ohio Valley and across the Central Great Lakes, spreading an
area of showers across the region. This appears to mark a
transitions to a wetter pattern starting early next week. There
is still uncertainty in track of sfc low and timing, but it does
appear as though our stretch of dry weather will come to an end
late Sunday into early next week.
