WHAT HAS CHANGED

The forecast remains on track. No major changes were needed with this update.

KEY MESSAGES

1) Quiet, dry, and seasonable weather expected through mid to late next week.

DISCUSSION

KEY MESSAGE 1... High pressure will continue to dominate our weather pattern through the weekend and much of next week. A dry cold front will swing south across the forecast area tonight leading to slightly cooler high temperatures on Saturday in the mid 60s. Otherwise, expect for seasonal temperatures with highs in the mid 70s and dry conditions through mid week.

The broad level low turns southerly to southwesterly by the middle of the week allowing for temperatures to rise into the 80s Thursday into the weekend. Rain chances will also increase near the end of the week as low pressure enters the Great Lakes region.

AVIATION /06Z Saturday THROUGH Wednesday/

VFR and dry weather are expected through the TAF period. A cold front sweeps through over the next couple hours, with breezy north to northwest conditions expected through about 00Z Sunday. Wind speeds are generally expected to be around 12 knots with gusts to 20 knots, though there could be occasional gusts as high as 25 knots.

Outlook...VFR expected through Wednesday.

MARINE

Southwest flow will continue through this afternoon with winds up to 20 kts. Winds will shift tonight with a cold front and north to northeast winds will develop over the lake with 15 to 25 kts of flow. This will allow for waves to build to 4 to 5 ft and allow for the Small Craft Advisory and Beach Hazards Statement to continue through Saturday afternoon. With high pressure centered over the lake, winds will decrease and become easterly Saturday night and northerly for Sunday through Wednesday.
