DISCUSSION
 
 
A WEDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE EXTENDING SOUTH FROM QUEBEC WILL MAINTAIN  
FAIR DRY WEATHER ACROSS THE VAST MAJORITY OF OUR REGION TODAY, BUT A  
WARM FRONT LURKING OVER NORTHEAST OHIO COULD SUPPORT A SHOWER OR TWO  
FOR PARTS OF THE SOUTHERN TIER LATE TODAY AND THIS EVENING.  
CONDITIONS WILL THEN SIGNIFICANTLY DETERIORATE LATER WEDNESDAY  
THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK, AS A LARGE COMPLEX STORM SYSTEM WILL  
SLOWLY PUSH ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES TO NEW ENGLAND. THIS WILL RESULT  
IN A SOAKING RAIN WEDNESDAY NIGHT, THEN A PROLONGED PERIOD OF  
MISERABLE WEATHER INTO THE WEEKEND THAT WILL INCLUDE A MIX OF RAIN  
AND WET SNOW. THE FIRST ACCUMULATING SNOW OF THE SEASON WILL BE  
POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN.
