DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1...
THE WEATHER PATTERN WILL STAY RELATIVELY STAGNANT THROUGH THE
NEXT SEVERAL DAYS AS HIGH PRESSURE MAINTAINS INFLUENCE OVER THE
REGION. THIS WILL RESULT IN DRY WEATHER THROUGH AT LEAST EARLY
NEXT WEEK IN ADDITION TO NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES. HIGHS WILL
BE IN THE 60S WITH LOWS IN THE 30S AND LOWER 40S EACH DAY,
ALTHOUGH TEMPERATURES MAY BEGIN TO WARM TOWARDS THE END OF THE
WEEKEND AS THE HIGH STARTS TO SHIFT EAST. THE ONLY NOTABLE
HAZARD OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS WILL BE RELATED TO FROST
POTENTIAL WITH EFFICIENT RADIATIONAL COOLING OCCURRING MOST
NIGHTS. THAT SAID, THE BEST CHANCE OF FROST WILL BE IN LOCATIONS
WHERE THE GROWING SEASON HAS ALREADY ENDED. WILL NEED TO KEEP
AN EYE ON HOW TEMPERATURES TREND IN TYPICAL COLD SPOTS ACROSS
WAYNE/ASHLAND/HOLMES COUNTIES TONIGHT INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY
MORNING, BUT THERE'S POTENTIAL FOR PATCHY FOG (WHICH MAY BE
DENSE IN WESTERN ZONES) AND LOWER STRATUS WHICH COULD THROW A
WRENCH IN RADIATIONAL COOLING/FROST COVERAGE IN THAT AREA.
AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/
PRIMARILY VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE REGION
THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD OUTSIDE OF PATCHY FOG TONIGHT INTO
WEDNESDAY MORNING AT TOL/FDY. HAVE IFR TO LIFR CONDITIONS IN THE
TAF WITH THIS FORECAST PACKAGE.
NORTHEAST WINDS 5-8 KNOTS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THIS EVENING
BEFORE BECOMING LIGHT AND VARIABLE TONIGHT. MAINTAINED A
NORTHERLY TO NORTHEASTERLY LAKE BREEZE OF 8-12 KNOTS AT CLE/ERI
THROUGH THIS EVENING.
OUTLOOK...OUTSIDE OF OVERNIGHT PATCHY FOG, MAINLY VFR IS EXPECTED
THROUGH SUNDAY.
MARINE
NORTHEAST FLOW WILL INCREASE THIS EVENING WITH A PERIOD OF WINDS
TO 10 TO 20 KNOTS EXPECTED ON THE LAKE TONIGHT. WAVES FROM
ROUGHLY WILLOWICK TO CONNEAUT WILL BUILD TO 2 TO 4 FEET DURING
THIS TIME AND SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA MAY VERY BRIEFLY BE
MET BETWEEN ROUGHLY 8 PM AND MIDNIGHT. AT THIS POINT, CONFIDENCE
IS A BIT TOO LOW TO ISSUE A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY SINCE THE
HIGHER WAVES WILL REMAIN IN THE OPEN WATERS, BUT WILL KEEP AN
EYE ON WIND OBS OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS AND ADJUST IF NEEDED.
FROM THERE, WINDS WILL BE ONSHORE AT 10 KNOTS OR LESS THROUGH
THURSDAY NIGHT WITH WINDS INCREASING TO 10 TO 20 KNOTS ONCE
AGAIN LATE THURSDAY INTO EARLY FRIDAY. WINDS WILL SHIFT OFFSHORE
AND REMAIN BETWEEN 5 AND 10 KNOTS FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND.
