DISCUSSION

KEY MESSAGE 1... High pressure will build across the region this weekend with nice fall weather. Tonight's temperatures will be the coldest dropping down to the lower 30s for most locations south of the lakeshore. Freeze headlines remain in effect tonight for all locations south of the immediate lakeshore. Sunny and cool weather is expected on Sunday with high temps around 60 degrees. More areas of frost will be likely Sunday night into early Monday morning with temps in the lower to middle 30s. The weather pattern for the week ahead will be quiet and dry, with seasonably mild temperatures. High pressure will remain in control over the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes region next week. High temperatures will be generally in the 60s to near 70 degrees. Overnight low temps will be in the 30s to middle 40s.

AVIATION /12Z Saturday THROUGH Wednesday/

High pressure will build across the area through this afternoon, leading to improving aviation weather. As we approach 12z drier air is gradually working in and most sites have returned to VFR, though some lake effect clouds and showers persist south of the lake. Showers are most prominent across parts of North Central OH, including near MFD, with just a few spotty sprinkles elsewhere. Clouds are in and out of all sites east of TOL/FDY, mainly VFR bases around 040 at this point, though with some pockets of MVFR across parts of North Central OH. Lake effect clouds and any showers are expected to dissipate through early this afternoon, leaving mainly clear and VFR conditions for the remainder of the TAFs. North winds 8-15kt (with a few gusts to 25kt still near Lake Erie, including at CLE and ERI) will diminish to under 7 knots this afternoon, then flip around to the south-southwest while remaining under 7 knots tonight.

Outlook...Mainly VFR expected.

MARINE

Winds will gradually diminish to less than 15 knots by this afternoon. The winds will shift from the south to southwest 10 to 15 knots tonight through Monday as high pressure slides just south of Lake Erie. Overall light flow 10 knots or less is expected for much of next week as high pressure remains in control of our weather pattern.
