DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL MAINTAIN INFLUENCE OVER THE REGION THROUGH
EARLY NEXT WEEK, RESULTING IN PROLONGED DRY WEATHER AND SLIGHTLY
BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES THROUGH TUESDAY. TONIGHT WILL BE THE
CHILLIEST NIGHT OF THE WEEK WITH WIDESPREAD LOWS IN THE LOW TO
MID 40S EXPECTED AT INLAND LOCATIONS. A FEW SPOTS ACROSS
INTERIOR NW PA, PARTICULARLY IN VALLEYS, WILL LIKELY DIP INTO
THE UPPER 30S AND THERE IS A CHANCE THAT A FEW SPOTS ACROSS
INTERIOR NE OH DROP BELOW 40 DEGREES EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. AS
FAR AS FROST POTENTIAL GOES, 925MB FLOW MAY BE A BIT TOO HIGH TO
ALLOW FOR FROST DEVELOPMENT. HOWEVER, IF FLOW LIGHTENS ENOUGH,
THERE WILL DEFINITELY BE SUFFICIENT CLEARING FOR VERY ISOLATED
INSTANCES OF FROST, PARTICULARLY ACROSS FAR EASTERN
ERIE/CRAWFORD COUNTIES IN PA AND PERHAPS TYPICAL COLD SPOTS
ACROSS INTERIOR NE OH.
HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE 60S THROUGH MONDAY OR
TUESDAY, ALTHOUGH TEMPS ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF THE AREA WILL
LIKELY WARM INTO THE LOWER 70S SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY.
WIDESPREAD LOW 70S ARE EXPECTED BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
THE NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN WILL ARRIVE WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY
AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION.
