WHAT HAS CHANGED

No significant changes to the prior forecast or messaging.

KEY MESSAGES

1) Dry weather with seasonable temperatures is expected through Tuesday.

DISCUSSION

KEY MESSAGE 1... Outside a few light showers during the pre-dawn hours from Marion to Holmes County, quiet weather is expected today. Pleasant fall weather is expected through at least Tuesday as high pressure brings dry conditions and near normal temperatures, with highs in the upper 60s to low 70s. Overnight lows could be a bit chilly, especially tonight where lows in the 40s are expected. Would not be surprised to a see a couple of the lower spots dip below 40 even. Next chance of rain is not until next week Wednesday.

AVIATION /06Z Thursday THROUGH Monday/

Primarily VFR conditions will be observed through the duration of this TAF period as conditions dry out. The exception will be at KMFD and KFDY which may briefly see high end MVFR ceilings this morning before skies clear out and become VFR. Winds will remain from the east at 5-10 knots today and will become light and variable after sunset this evening.

Outlook...Mainly VFR favored through Monday.

MARINE

East to northeast flow continues today around 10 to 15 knots, with some potentially for locally enhanced winds near 20 knots and potentially waves of 3 to 5 feet between Sandusky and Willowick later this afternoon, especially north of Cleveland. For now, will let the current Small Craft Advisory and Beach Hazard Statement expire on time, and closely monitor observations for later this afternoon to see if headlines are briefly needed.

Otherwise, wind direction will tend to favor northeast this weekend, though lower winds speeds will tend to generate waves of 1 to 3, especially during the afternoon hours.

OH...Beach Hazards Statement until 4 AM EDT early this morning for OHZ003-007-009-010. PA...None. MARINE...Small Craft Advisory until 4 AM EDT early this morning for LEZ142>146.
