WHAT HAS CHANGED

There are no major changes as the forecast remains on track.

KEY MESSAGES

1) High pressure remains over the region with dry weather and seasonable temperatures for the majority of the week. There is a low chance of showers on Wednesday.

DISCUSSION

KEY MESSAGE 1... High pressure remains across the region this morning and will slowly build off to the east throughout the day into early Wednesday. Some patchy fog is possible along the lake shore and in north-central and northwestern Ohio through mid-morning.

A weak low pressure system will push northward into the Ohio River Valley on Wednesday that will bring a chance for showers and thunderstorms. This will mainly be confined to the area south of US 30, though an isolated shower or thunderstorm is possible to the north. This will be dependent on how much of the mid to low level dry air erodes away throughout the day. A cold front will push southward across the region Wednesday afternoon and evening though expecting it to be dry along and behind the front. High pressure builds in from the north on Thursday and will persist through the weekend as upper level ridging builds from the west.

Temperatures will gradually increase through Wednesday with highs into the upper 70s to low 80s and overnight lows into the upper 50s to low 60s. Behind the cold front, high temperatures will drop down into the low to mid 70s with overnight lows in the low to mid 50s.

AVIATION /12Z Tuesday THROUGH Saturday/

Patchy areas of fog will quickly burn off this morning by 13z. VFR conditions are expect today into this evening. Some light fog of 3sm to 5sm may be possible again late tonight into early Wednesday morning. Winds will be somewhat light and variable during this TAF period.

Outlook...Non-VFR possible with rain showers in central Ohio on Wednesday.

MARINE

Overall marine weather will be fairly quiet on Lake Erie this week. Ther are some areas of dense fog on the central and eastern nearshore waters of the lake this morning. This marine layer fog should burn off quickly after sunrise this morning. A weak area of pressure is over Lake Erie today. Winds will be northerly to northeasterly 5 to 10 knots today through Wednesday. A cold front will push southward across the lake late Wednesday. Slightly stronger winds from the north to northeast 5-15 knots are expected Wednesday night and Thursday. Winds will become light and variable again by Friday.
