1) showers with some isolated storms are possible this afternoon and
evening, mainly along and south of us 30 in ohio. severe weather and
flooding hazards are not expected at this time.

2) humid conditions with shower and storm chances will return on
saturday. there is some potential for a stronger storm during
saturday afternoon and evening.

key message 1...
a frontal boundary will approach and stall out over the
forecast area today. on the north side of the boundary, the air
mass will moderate a little with temperatures in the 70s and dew
points falling a bit into the 60s and maybe upper 50s. however,
the south side of this boundary will remain humid and
relatively unsettled with highs near 80 degrees and dew points
in the 70s. this air mass will remain favorable for more shower
and storm development this afternoon and evening. the bulk of
the development should be south of the forecast area where
greater instability will build. however, some activity will
develop across the southern portion of the forecast area with a
mid-level shortwave moving through the region. with a limited
thermodynamic environment and storms should progress with the
shortwave, severe weather and flooding hazards remain very low
at this time. the surface boundary will push south for thursday
night into friday with high pressure entering the region, which
will allow for 36 hours of dry, comfortable weather.


key message 2...
unsettled weather will return to the ohio valley for saturday
as a mid-level shortwave will move through the ohio and
tennessee valleys behind friday`s high pressure system. this
wave will allow for a warm front to lift back over the area,
allowing temperatures back into the 80s and dew points back in
the 60s to lower 70s. this shortwave will provide some lift for
shower and thunderstorm development, especially on saturday
afternoon and evening. with activity currently expected during
peak heating hours, there is a low end threat for a stronger
thunderstorm, as the atmosphere may be unstable enough to allow
for some gusty winds to materialize. however, details may change
over the next couple of forecast cycles, especially if timing
is faster or slower or if the wave is less aggressive in lifting
the warm front north. activity could linger into sunday with a
cold front trying to approach from the northwest, extending from
a low pressure system moving through canada. return flow is
aggressive across the region early next week and may try to keep
this feature north, as the main frontal support quickly departs
to the northeast. if the front doesn`t reach the area, the area
may end up staying dry with activity to the north.

.aviation /06z thursday through monday/...
mixed-bag of vfr, mvfr, and ifr across the taf sites early this
morning, mainly associated with low ceilings. deterioration to
mvfr and ifr conditions is expected at all taf sites tonight
into this morning as low ceilings and patchy fog/mist develop
across the area. given the generally weak flow in place, it may
take until later this morning for ceilings to improve to vfr. a
few showers are possible across the area later this afternoon,
though non-vfr impacts are not anticipated.

winds are generally out of the west to southwest early this
morning, 4 to 7 knots. winds will favor a west to southwest
direction into this afternoon, though some sites further north
will begin to shift towards the north to northeast behind a weak
cold front, 4 to 7 knots.

outlook...non-vfr possible in low ceilings and/or patchy fog
friday morning. non-vfr possible again on saturday in isolated
to scattered showers and thunderstorms.

.marine...
a stalling frontal boundary will eventually settle south of the lake
today. winds behind this boundary will veer from the west to the
north with time today. high pressure will build into the region
tonight and winds will become northeast and increase a bit to 10 to
15 kts. waves could pick up a bit with the long fetch flow over the
lake, but it may just result in an elevated swimming risk overnight.
the high moves east for friday, allowing for easterly flow.
southerly flow will return starting friday night through saturday
night with a warm front moving back across the lake. a cold front
will attempt to cross the lake on sunday, bringing westerly flow
again to the region. however, it is possible that this feature gets
stuck north of the lake and southerly flow will persist into early
next week. there is a bit of uncertainty in the pattern for early
next week to be too confident on the mean wind direction on the
lake. overall, not expecting any marine headlines at this time but
there may be some periods of moderate swimming risk.

- cooler and less humid through friday, then warming up this
weekend into early next week.

- chances (20-50 percent) for showers and isolated
thunderstorms today, mainly along and south of us 30.

- there is a moderate swim risk for se lake mi beaches in
northern berrien county, mi early today. breaking waves and
currents expected.

a weak cold front extends from southern ontario down through
southern lower mi, nw in, and il. winds are light generally out of
the west, but becoming light/variable. some br/patchy fog is
possible early this morning, depending on how much clearing there is
with increasing cloud cover in the southwest. expect a more
northwest to north flow through the day, with light north-northeast
flow becoming variable again tonight. waves on lake mi beaches this
morning will be around 2 feet, maybe a few up to 3 feet further
north near st. joseph, mi before subsiding to 1-2 feet later
this afternoon. have a moderate swim risk for northern berrien
county, mi today, with breaking waves and currents expected.
otherwise, low swim risk conditions should persist further south
as wave heights struggle to get above 2 feet.

chances for showers and maybe a couple thunderstorms this afternoon
as the cold front shifts e-se and an upper level trough moves
through. most of the guidance remains south of us 30 (where we have
20-50 percent chances), but a few models do kick of isolated showers
a bit further north-mainly along/south of us 24 in nw oh/ne in. kept
focus along/south of us 30 for now. severe weather is not expected.
slightly cooler today, with highs in the upper 70s.

high pressure/upper level ridge builds in tonight into friday, with
a surface high in place. expect highs around 80 degrees under mostly
clear skies. lows will be in the upper 50s, low 60s.

the next chances for rain return late fri night into saturday night
(20-40 percent) as a shortwave/weak trough moves through fairly
zonal flow. zonal flow lingers through early next week, so have low
chances (20 percent or less until monday evening) to account for the
potential, with highs in the low-mid 80s. monday night into thu a
broad frontal zone extends across our area, so have pops increasing
once again into the 30-50 percent range to account for that. will
likely cover less time than forecasted, but there are uncertainties
with the exact location of the frontal zone and key upper level
features. kept generic for now. highs will be in the upper 70s, low
to mid 80s for the most part. a few locations could reach 90 degrees
monday afternoon.

predominantly vfr conditions outside of potential for ifr/mvfr
conditions at kfwa late tonight/early thu am in the vicinity of
a cold front. some reports of br already this am (around 5-6sm
as of this writing), with most guidance dropping kfwa to 2-4sm
once winds become more calm. other models suggest more of a low
ceiling threat, around 700-1,000ft. for now, kept ceilings at
1500 with 2-4sm vis. otherwise, high clouds around 15-25kft and
a few scattered clouds around 5-10kft at the moment, becoming
cloudier as the blow off from convection to our southwest
expands northeastward. this could limit or preclude br
development, especially further west near ksbn.

- dry weather with near-normal, pleasant temperatures returns for
thursday and friday.

- mainly dry weather continues through the weekend, accompanied
by slightly above-normal temperatures.

.aviation...

a weakening cold front will ease southward across the se mi
terminals early this morning. there has been some remnant low level
moisture under a shallow inversion which has resulting in a few
areas of ifr and low end mvfr fog and stratus. there are some
indications in model soundings that the onset of diurnal heating
this morning may allow a brief expansion of low stratus before
boundary layer growth erodes any remnant low moisture. the limiting
factor for a more extensive fog/low cloud development this morning
is the area of thick cirrus moving into the area from the southwest.
high pressure will expand across the area this afternoon into
tonight. this system will sustain light winds and vfr conditions
through the remainder of the day.

d21/dtw convection...no thunderstorms will occur through the taf
period.

.dtw threshold probabilities...

* low for ceiling at or below 5000 ft this morning.

quiet weather expected through the weekend as high pressure settles
over the region. upper level long wave flow will be low amplitude
and progressive with the bulk of the flow locked over southern
canada as the southern conus ridge continues to hold. main surface
baroclinic zone remains draped along the ohio valley north of the
ridge which will keep the bulk of the precip south of the region.
incoming mid level shortwave will be positively tilted which will
delay forcing the remnant thermal trough out of the region so expect
a slowly modifying airmass today through saturday. once the mid
level trough axis passes east saturday, warmer southerly flow will
return to the region providing a return to the lower 80s briefly
ahead of a cold front.

the front will sweep through the region late saturday evening and
looks to be free of precip as the model sounding show a great deal
of dry air through the column to contend with and the forcing will
be well to the north over ontario. the one thing to watch for will
be a plume of moisture overriding the boundary to the south saturday
which will try to reach into far southern mi. most likely, this will
be held to the south as the front compresses the ridging and pushes
it east making that region unfavorable to northward advancements of
the moisture plume, but a slower front may allow some moisture to
reach a little farther north. next chance of showers and
thunderstorms arrives sunday night as a more amplified trough passes
over the region.

marine...

moderate northwesterly flow in place today following yesterday`s
cold front. gusts across the northern portions of lake huron
expected to peak firmly below 30kts, likely closer to 25kts, as the
core of cool advection holds over northern ontario. winds steadily
being weakening this evening as high pressure builds over the central
great lakes. said high then drifts overhead through friday night
leading to benign marine conditions to close the work week. active
pattern returns late this weekend as low pressure lifting through
the northern great lakes drags a cold front into the area before it
looks to stall over lake huron.
