WHAT HAS CHANGED

A Cold Weather Advisory is now in effect across Northeast Ohio and Northwest Pennsylvania 10 PM tonight through 10 AM Sunday. Increased precipitation chances across Northeast Ohio and Northwest Pennsylvania through tonight where localized lake enhanced snowfall continues.

KEY MESSAGES

1) Remaining frigid with sub-zero wind chills expected both Sunday and Monday morning.

2) Moderating temperatures with multiple systems moving in the vicinity of the forecast area next week.

KEY MESSAGE 2

The general trend through next week is primarily dry weather with moderating temperatures. The warmest day of the week will be Tuesday as highs are expected to rise into the upper 30s to lower 40s. High temperatures generally remain in the upper 20s to lower 30s the rest of next week. Will still need to monitor mainly frozen over rivers for any ice jam development. However, given the very brief warm period accompanied with little to no precipitation, not anticipating many issues to arise.

A number of upper level disturbances will cross in the vicinity of the forecast area mid-to-late next week. However, a persistent ridge of high pressure across the region will likely keep precipitation chances out of the forecast area through the bulk of next week. Will continue to monitor the placement of the Eastern CONUS ridge as any adjustments in its location may allow for precipitation chances to change.

AVIATION /00Z Sunday THROUGH Thursday/

VFR conditions across much of the region and will continue through the TAF period. There is a narrow band of snow showers that continue to push eastward across northwestern Pennsylvania impacting KERI. visibility has dropped to IFR, though don't expect this to last long given the movement over the past few hours and the spatial extent of the line. VFR is expected at KERI after the line moves through around 02Z.

Winds will become light and variable overnight tonight as high pressure moves overhead then progressively out of the north to northeast at around 5 knots.

Outlook...Non-VFR possible in rain/snow showers Tuesday night into Wednesday.
