WHAT HAS CHANGED

Areas of fog have been expanded this morning and Friday morning. Widespread frost has been added to Saturday morning's forecast and there may be some freeze potential.

KEY MESSAGES

1) Dry and seasonable weather will continue for the rest of the week into next week. There will be daily morning fog chances today and Friday. Widespread frost with some freeze potential is possible on Saturday morning and may be the next frost/freeze headline window.

DISCUSSION

KEY MESSAGE 1... Strong high pressure will continue to build into the region from the northeast, allowing for dry and seasonable conditions to continue through early next week. Some residual moisture and the long nights will allow for some morning fog this morning and Friday morning, especially in Northwest and North Central Ohio. With the strongest advance of high pressure on Saturday morning, temperatures will drop into the 30s for much of the area and some sheltered locations may see upper 20s. Widespread to areas of frost will be expected and there will also be some freeze potential. Saturday morning may be the next frost/freeze headline window.

AVIATION /12Z Thursday THROUGH Monday/

Mixed-bag of VFR and LIFR conditions across the TAF sites this morning, with LIFR vsbys from areas of dense fog impacting mainly MFD, though periodic vsby drops in patchy fog have also occurred at FDY. The latest satellite imagery suggests the dense fog at MFD/FDY may not improve until mid-morning. Elsewhere, VFR is expected with clear skies. Patchy dense fog may develop again tonight, mainly impacting TOL/FDY.

Winds are generally light and variable this morning. Winds will favor a north to northeast direction later this morning and afternoon, 5 to 7 knots.

Outlook...Periods of overnight patchy dense fog may impact TAF sites into Friday. Otherwise, primarily VFR is expected.

MARINE

High pressure building into the region from the northeast will allow for northeast flow to continue on Lake Erie through Friday. Northeast flow will be up to 10 kts today and 15 kts on Friday and waves should generally remain 2 ft or less. High pressure will shift south on Saturday and remain southeast of the lake on Sunday and Monday. This will allow for easterly flow on Saturday before offshore flow returns on Sunday and Monday. Overall, marine headlines are not expected at this time.
