KEY MESSAGE 1...
RADIATIONAL COOLING AND LIGHT WINDS MAY RESULT IN SOME PATCHY
FOG ACROSS INTERIOR NE OH AND NW PA EARLY THIS MORNING. THERE
MAY BE ISOLATED INSTANCES OF DENSE FOG, BUT LARGELY EXPECT
MINIMAL IMPACTS TO VISIBILITY/DRIVING CONDITIONS.
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE REGION THIS EVENING,
ALTHOUGH FRONTAL PASSAGE WILL BE DRY FOR THE LOCAL AREA. THE
ONLY NOTABLE "IMPACT" FROM THE FRONT WILL BE SOMEWHAT BREEZY
WINDS JUST AHEAD OF AND BEHIND THE FRONT THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH
TONIGHT AND COOLER HIGH TEMPS IN THE 60S AND LOWER 70S ON
SATURDAY. OTHERWISE, AN OMEGA BLOCK PATTERN WILL PROVIDE DRY
WEATHER AND SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES THROUGH AT LEAST THE MIDDLE
OF THE WEEK. ANTICIPATE HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE 70S WITH LOWS
IN THE 40S AND 50S THROUGH WEDNESDAY WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES
INCREASING INTO THE 80S TOWARDS THE END OF THE WEEK. RAIN
CHANCES MAY RETURN BY THE END OF THE WEEK AND INTO NEXT WEEKEND
AS THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN BECOMES A BIT MORE PROGRESSIVE.
