.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...

Northwest flow off of the lake will maintain lingering lake
clouds through much of the day. A couple very light showers
cannot be completely ruled out, but the vast majority of the
area will remain dry. High pressure building eastward from the
Midwest will begin to influence the region tonight, setting the
stage for another extended stretch of dry weather.

Cool and dry conditions will persist into the weekend, with
northwest flow continuing through Saturday. By Sunday an upper
level ridge will begin building into the region from the west,
allowing flow aloft to shift more westerly. This ridge will
remain in place through the middle of next week, accompanied by
surface high pressure that will maintain the unusually dry
pattern.

Temperatures will be coolest today and Saturday, with afternoon
highs ranging from the mid 50s to lower 60s. A gradual warming
trend will follow Sunday through the middle of next week with
highs climbing into the upper 50s to upper 60s. Some locations
may even approach 70 degrees at times next week. The next
opportunity for more meaningful rainfall looks to arrive late
Wednesday into Thursday of next week.
