.key message 1...

regional satellite and radar observations reveal light snow
showers across portions of northeast ohio and northwest
pennsylvania this afternoon, aided mainly by ice-free areas of
central lake huron and far northern lake erie where ice has
shifted away from the canadian shoreline. high pressure will
gradually build into the region from the west tonight,
introducing drier air and shifting boundary layer flow towards
the west to southwest. any residual light snow showers are
expected to diminish overnight.

.key message 2...

above average temperatures are poised to return on saturday as
a large upper-level ridge begins to take shape across much of
the central and eastern conus. the latest guidance suggests
that this ridge should persist through mid-week while a more
dominant trough gradually moves east across the western conus.
a brief period of widespread rain is likely on wednesday
associated with a lifting warm front, particularly across the
far north and northeast portion of the area. at this point,
total rainfall amounts appear on the lighter side, with only about
a 20 to 40% chance of more than a quarter of an inch.

in terms of temperatures, highs in the low to mid-40s for the
weekend will increase further into the upper 40s to lower 50s
into mid-next week. minimal or generally light precipitation is
expected through wednesday which does bode well for a gradual
thawing of ice on area rivers and a melting snowpack.

.aviation /00z friday through tuesday/...
clouds will continue to scatter out tonight as high pressure
builds into the region, with lingering lake-effect flurries and
light snow showers in ne ohio and nw pa ending. this will take
the longest at keri, but vfr is expected to dominate overnight
through friday.

light and variable or nw winds tonight will become sw by friday
morning and increase to 5-10 knots in the afternoon.


outlook...mostly vfr is expected.

.marine...
lake erie remains mostly ice-covered at this time. warm weather
in the forecast will likely cause some slow deterioration of the
ice later this weekend into next week. winds will remain light
10 knots or less through friday while gradually backing to a
more southwesterly direction. southwest winds will briefly
increase to 10-20kt friday night. mainly light winds expected
this weekend into early next week.

some ice movement to the northeast is possible friday night,
though it is not as confident if the brief period of elevated
southwest winds will be enough to push ice fastened to the
shoreline out into the lake (i.e. ice floes). still, something
to keep in mind. slow deterioration of the ice is likely sunday
into next next week due to a period of milder than average
temperatures. winds will be light and limited precipitation
through at least tuesday.

there are no significant weather concerns in the next 7 days.
winter will continue to take a hiatus with a mostly dry week
ahead and steadily warming temperatures. high pressure is
centered over the great lakes region today, bringing quiet and
dry conditions across our forecast area. mid and high level
clouds can be seen moving through on satellite this afternoon;
these clouds are accompanying a weakening 500mb shortwave diving
south through the area and have kept temperatures in the low to
mid 30s today. skies are expected to mostly to partly clear out
overnight, which sets the stage for another cold night with fog
potential. much like last night, winds are expected to diminish
after sunset. in locations that get mostly clear skies, expect
lows to drop into the mid to upper teens overnight. patchy dense
radiation fog will be possible in areas that clear out as well.
models vary widely again, like last night, with some having no
restrictions to visibility (thus no fog development) and others
showing high probabilities for visibility as low as 0.5 mile or
less (some members of the href). rap forecast sounding depict
low level moisture getting trapped under an inversion friday
morning. confidence is low but patchy fog may develop downwind
of lake michigan, mainly between 06-13z friday. in addition,
with temperatures falling well below freezing overnight, any
snowmelt today will refreeze, creating concerns for black ice.
watch out for patches of black ice on bridges, overpasses,
sidewalks, and secondary roads during the friday morning
commute! lots of sunshine and waa will boost temperatures into
the 40s friday afternoon (low 50s possible south of us 24).

along and south of us 30, 20-30% chances for rain exist late
saturday into sunday. these chances haven`t changed much over the
past 24 to 48 hours; an upper level trough is working its way
onshore in california, with the associated surface low developing
near las vegas, nv. the upper level trough will become more
amplified as it moves across the southern us. in response, the
surface low will deepen and a warm front will lift north through
the mid mississippi river valley. while this front will not
make it far enough north into our area, it will allow for
moisture and warmth from the gulf to be pulled northward over
the weekend. long and medium range model guidance (both ensemble
and deterministic) align well with the southern tier of our
forecast area getting in on some light rain late saturday into
sunday. amounts will be less than a tenth in most places; chose
to go with wpc qpf guidance for sunday.

a strong upper level ridge is then expected to build across the
central and eastern conus into early next week. confidence continues
to increase for well above normal temperatures for the early and
middle parts of next week. the warmest days will likely be
tuesday and wednesday before the ridge flattens out. highs in
the 50s are likely; some locations south of us 24 may even make
a run at 60 degrees! a more active pattern looks to resume by
the middle of next week with chances for rain returning next
wednesday.

mostly vfr conditions expected this taf period for both sites
with mid and upper clouds associated with a weak disturbance
pushing south of the area. however, for ksbn some temporary
lowering of vsbys to mvfr categories due to mist/haze will be
possible from 10z to 14z fri. light winds overnight with a
slight increase in southwesterly winds to around 10 kts after
18z fri.

high pressure centered over the region will maintain a stretch of

weakening flow and increasing subsidence has effectively cleared
the lower stratus from earlier as surface high pressure rolls
through michigan. light northwest flow has allowed for lingering
lake moisture and diurnal stratocu this afternoon which should
scatter out this evening into tonight. limited clouds tonight and
the continued snow pack will help low temperatures tonight drop to
the lower teens.

surface high pressure and 850mb ridge will pass to the east tomorrow
morning bringing a stretch of weak warm advection with deeper
southwest to west lower level flow. temperatures at 850 mb will
gradually warm towards 0c friday and saturday, eventually topping 0c
on sunday. this slight warming trend will bring daytime highs to the
upper 30s and low 40s for tomorrow and saturday with sunday up
towards the mid 40s. guidance continues to point towards dry
conditions holding through the weekend with southeast michigan
residing between northern stream and southern stream systems. the
stronger of the two being the southern stream moving across the gulf
states with the associated northern end of precipitation likely only
reaching the ohio valley. the northern stream looks to hold north of
lake huron.

greater warm advection enters the region early next week as west
coast troughing pushing into the plains with afternoon highs tuesday
possibly achieving the 50 degree mark. the leading ridge should keep
conditions dry through bulk of the monday and tuesday stretch.
increasing moisture will arrive and set the stage for the next
chance at precipitation, possibly as early as tuesday night. greatest
chances likely for wednesday as a low pressure system organizes
along baroclinic zone under left exit region jet dynamics. current
forecast of low pressure track and temperatures would bring rain as
the dominate p-type.

marine...

an area of high pressure will affect most of the central great lakes
through the weekend. a clipper system is expected to cross the
northern lakes on friday bringing slightly stronger winds and a bit
of snowfall to northern huron. southwest winds of 15-20 knots will
prevail with gusts aob 25 knots. the gradient relaxes friday night,
after the system exits eastward, then trajectories veer wnw saturday
morning. a secondary surface high passes over lower michigan on
saturday leading to weak and variable winds. winds then back
southerly with time. lighter flow continues sunday while a weak
frontal boundary turns weak prevailing flow westerly sunday evening.
a split-flow configuration keeps winds aob 15 knots early next week
with minimal opportunities for precipitation.
