WHAT HAS CHANGED

No significant changes as quiet weather continues.

KEY MESSAGES

1) Dry weather will continue for much of the week with limited rain chances on Thursday night. Better chances for rain will not arrive until late Saturday night. Much above normal temperatures expected through this week.

DISCUSSION

KEY MESSAGE 1... High pressure remains spread across the eastern CONUS allowing for a continued period of dry weather. Slightly cooler today behind a dry cold front with highs in the mid to upper 60s. Southerly return flow will allow for highs mid to late week to warm into the mid to upper 70s, which is 10-15 degrees above average for late October. A few sites may approach record high values for October 29th. See the climate section below for more information.

Another cold front will sink south towards the region Thursday night which may bring some rain showers to Northeast Ohio/Northwest Pennsylvania. High pressure returns Friday into Saturday before rain chances approach from the west late Saturday into Sunday. Current timing of this system would indicate a dry Halloween night for the majority of the forecast area.

VFR conditions are expected through the TAF period with high pressure returning to the area. An expanse of clouds around 4-6 kft extend from eastern Michigan across Lake Erie into NW PA and will impact KERI overnight.

Winds will be light out of the general northeast direction through the period. Toward the end of the TAF period, winds will shift to a more southerly direction with high pressure passing to the northeast.
