WHAT HAS CHANGED
No significant changes to the previous forecast. A more prolonged period of above average temperatures will return this weekend and into next week.
KEY MESSAGES
1) A more prolonged period of above average temperatures will return this weekend and continue into next week.
2) Rain is likely on Wednesday, and possibly again Thursday night into Friday as a pair of systems move through the region.
KEY MESSAGE 2
A period of widespread rain is likely on Wednesday as a low pressure system lifts a warm front north through the area. Rainfall amounts will generally be a quarter of an inch or less, with higher amounts closer to a third of an inch found across Northeast Ohio into Northwest Pennsylvania. Another system is expected to take a similar track northeast into the Midwest by Thursday night into Friday which may bring another round of widespread rain into the area. Once again, rainfall amounts should be generally light, generally a quarter of an inch or less.
AVIATION /18Z Friday THROUGH Wednesday/
Clear skies persist through this evening. A weak surface trough swings through and clips northwest Pennsylvania. A brief period of light snow showers will be possible there with overcast MVFR ceilings. Mid-level clouds could briefly extend westward into Ohio tonight with the trough. MVFR that develop in Northwest Pennsylvania late tonight may linger through Saturday morning and even early Saturday afternoon. These MVFR clouds could expand southwest towards KCLE/KYNG area but there is some uncertainty with this. Patchy fog/mist could develop elsewhere late tonight into Saturday morning, which is most likely in Northwest Ohio. Light southwest winds less than 10 knots through tonight become light and variable on Saturday. Outlook...Non-VFR possible with rain on Wednesday.
MARINE
Lake Erie remains mostly ice covered, though above normal temperatures will deteriorate lake ice through the end of next week. Winds are relatively quiet through the next several days, aside from a brief period of ~15 knot southwesterly winds tonight. Stronger winds around 15 to 25 knots are possible Wednesday into Thursday as a the region is impacted by a low pressure system.
