DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1...
THE OVERALL PATTERN FAVORS A RELATIVELY QUIET AND DRY PERIOD OF
WEATHER THROUGH MID-NEXT WEEK AS AN OMEGA BLOCK DEVELOPS ACROSS
THE CONUS. FOR THE MOST PART, OUR AREA WILL GENERALLY BE
LOCATED ON THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH. HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL MAINLY RANGE BETWEEN 70 AND 80, WITH SLIGHTLY
COOLER OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES IN THE 40S POSSIBLE TONIGHT, AND
AGAIN ON SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING AS A COLD FRONT
MOVES SOUTH ACROSS THE AREA. ELEVATED NORTH TO NORTHEAST WIND
GUSTS UP TO 25 MPH ARE POSSIBLE BEHIND THE FRONT SATURDAY
AFTERNOON.
WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING SOUTH ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES TODAY
AND SLIGHTLY ELEVATED DEW POINTS IN PLACE, CAN'T RULE OUT SOME
PATCHY RADIATION FOG ACROSS THE INTERIOR, GENERALLY ALONG AND
EAST OF I-71 TONIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY MORNING.
AVIATION /00Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/
VFR CONDITIONS WITH CLEAR SKIES ARE IN PLACE THIS EVENING. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD SOUTH INTO THE AREA OVERNIGHT AND CALM
WINDS MAY ALLOW REDUCED VISIBILITIES IN FOG OR MIST BETWEEN
08-12Z. THIS SEEMS MOST LIKELY AT MFD OR TOL WHERE SOME MOISTURE
OFF THE LAKE MAY CONTRIBUTE. ALSO INCLUDED A TEMPO AT
CLE/CAK/YNG BUT CONFIDENCE IS NOT AS HIGH AT THESE LOCATIONS.
OTHERWISE WINDS WILL DEVELOP OUT OF THE WEST ON FRIDAY MORNING
THEN VEER TO WEST NORTHWEST DURING THE AFTERNOON. ERI IS MOST
LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE SOME GUSTS TO 20 KNOTS FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
LATE IN THE PERIOD A WIND SHIFT TO THE NORTH WILL ARRIVE
BETWEEN 03-06Z FRIDAY NIGHT WITH BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL FOLLOW
NEAR THE LAKESHORE OVERNIGHT.
OUTLOOK...VFR IS EXPECTED THROUGH TUESDAY EXCEPT PATCHY FOG
POSSIBLE EARLY MONDAY AM.
MARINE
MOSTLY QUIET MARINE CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE ON LAKE ERIE
THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK, ALTHOUGH PROBABILITIES ARE INCREASING
FOR SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES AND BEACH HAZARD STATEMENTS FRIDAY
NIGHT AND SATURDAY AS NE WINDS APPROACH OR EXCEED 20 KNOTS IN
THE WAKE OF A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT, BUILDING WAVES TO 2-4 FEET
AND ELEVATING THE RISK FOR RIP CURRENTS. OTHERWISE, NE WINDS
WILL SLOWLY DECREASE THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT, BECOMING SW AT
10-15 KNOTS AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT FRIDAY. LIGHT WINDS ARE
EXPECTED SUNDAY AND MONDAY BEFORE N WINDS POTENTIALLY INCREASE
AGAIN TUESDAY.
