key message 1...
a stationary boundary will drift south into the ohio valley through
this evening bringing increased precipitation chances to the region
with the support of an upper level vort max. showers and
thunderstorms should fire along the boundary this afternoon as the
atmosphere begins to destabilize. severe weather parameters are
generally on the lower end, so not anticipating any widespread
impacts. though a strong thunderstorm wouldn`t be out of the realm
of possibilities with mlcape near 1000-1500 j/kg and low level lapse
rates near 7-8 c/km supporting strong wind gusts from those storms.
additionally, heavy rain will be a concern with slow storm motion
(10-15 mph) and high pw values (~1.7 in) across the region. the
southeastern counties would be the most probable to see any flooding
concerns though will be dependent on the location of the boundary
and where storms initiate. wpc has include that area in a slight
risk (level 2 out of 4) for excessive rainfall for today and will
need to be monitored as storms begin to fire off this afternoon.
precipitation chances will decrease into the evening as the boundary
drifts to the south and upper level forcing moves off to the east.
on saturday, another vort max will moves to the east of the region
that afternoon into the evening. this will bring a low end chance
for precipitation to mainly the southern and eastern counties up
into pennsylvania saturday afternoon. dry weather is expected
starting sunday as ridging builds into the region.
key message 2...
upper level ridging will begin to build into the region on sunday.
generally, flow will be weak as the ridge sets up overhead through
monday. highs will be in the mid 80s on sunday, increasing to the
upper 80s on monday. overnight lows will be in the mid 60s. on
tuesday, the surface high will drift to the east and westerly
flow will take hold across the region. this will increase
temperatures for the middle of the week onwards with confidence
increasing in above average temperatures. an upper level trough
across eastern canada and northeastern conus may keep
temperatures a touch cooler for those in far eastern ohio and
northwestern pennsylvania. though, those finer details will be
worked out over the coming days.

a disorganized cluster of showers and thunderstorms will
traverse the western half of the area early this morning. it`s
uncertain what this convection will do east of the i-71 corridor
later this morning but the expectation is for it dissipate to
light showers. there is a very low chance that it continues
east towards kcle/kcak/kyng with embedded isolated lightning.
visibility down to 2 sm is possible with thunderstorms.
this afternoon, additional scattered showers and thunderstorms
are expected at all taf sites, except keri. at kcle, they may
develop a bit earlier around mid to late morning. heavy rain is
likely within thunderstorms with visibility down to 2 sm or
lower. gusty winds to around 30 knots could be possible but
scattered nature and low confidence in occurrence prevents a
mention in the taf.
outlook...non-vfr possible with scattered thunderstorms through
saturday afternoon.

.marine...
light and variable winds are expected through today. northeast
winds develop tonight following the passage of a cold front and
high pressure building in from the north. those northeast winds
gradually increase from 5-10 knots tonight to around 15 knots
saturday afternoon. waves increase to around 2-3 feet saturday
afternoon, with greatest wave heights expected in the central
basin. northeast winds back off saturday night before returning
sunday afternoon with winds around 15 knots and waves around 2-3
feet.
light and variable winds are expected monday as high pressure
moves overhead. winds become southwest tuesday and wednesday as
high pressure departs to the southeast. waves generally expected
to be less than 1 foot.

widely scattered convection associated with a mid level shortwave
and corridor of higher theta-e will exit off to the east by daybreak
leaving primarily dry/humid conditions for the bulk of the morning
and early afternoon. diurnally driven, isolated to scattered,
convection then once again redevelops this afternoon into early this
evening in the vicinity of a subtle low level boundary and/or
convective outflows drifting slowly south into a moderately unstable
air mass (~2000 j/kg of cape). the overall weak forcing/shear/flow
will not be conducive to storm organization, leaving localized
flooding and pulse-type wind gusts to 40 mph as the primary threats.
the southward sagging front will force the primary instability axis
south of the area later friday night into saturday with the bulk of
the area dry and less humid. there remains mixed signals in
available model guidance on if the northern fringes of a mcs
tracking east through the mid ms/oh river valleys clips our southern
zones during this time. opted to retain a slight chance pop south of
us 30 in in and south of us 24 in oh.
an anomalously strong and expansive mid-upper level ridge remains on
track to build east over the north-central us and midwest sunday
through the middle of next week. this will put a lid on any rain
chances with highs expected to reach the low-mid 90s by tuesday-
wednesday. afternoon heat indices may make a run at 100 by this
time, though humidity levels look less impressive when compared to
our previous heat wave. low chances (20-30%) for convection then by
the end of next week as ensembles tend to flatten the ridge
somewhat.

light winds, moist low levels and partial clearing is allowing
for patchy br/stratus formation across nw in early this
morning. confidence on whether this fills in at ksbn remains
low, but did opt to hold on to a tempo mvfr group through the
morning. dry/vfr otherwise this morning. widely scattered
showers and storms likely redevelop this afternoon into early
this evening as a moisture/instability axis lingers over
northern in. brief restrictions will likely accompany any
storms.

- chance (30-50%) for some showers and thunderstorms along and south
of i-94, with the higher end of this range favored near the mi/oh
border.
- the strongest storms that develop could produce localized wind
gusts of 40 to 60 mph and small hail

a combination of ifr and mvfr ceilings continue to stream inland from
lake huron over the tri-cities and thumb regions this morning, well
north of the stalled frontal boundary currently situated in the
vicinity of the oh/mi border. the ifr ceilings should be short-
lived this morning, lifting to mvfr by mid-morning and then vfr.
there is some uncertainty regarding whether or not these lower
ceilings get into dtw/det/yip later this morning, or if they can
begin to mix out before getting that far south. northeast winds north
of the boundary will prevail for much of the morning, briefing back
and become northerly this afternoon, and then veer back to northeast
overnight. winds eventually become light and variable tonight.
this afternoon and evening there remains some potential for isolated
to scattered showers and thunderstorms. chances are much more
favorable along the slow moving front, along and south of the oh/mi
state line. however, have maintained prob30 showers for dtw/det/yip
for now.
d21/dtw convection...most likely window around 17-19z, if an
isolated thunderstorm can develop, with better chances across the
south half of the d21 airspace.
.dtw threshold probabilities...
* low to medium for ceilings at or below 5,000 feet this morning.
medium by mid morning into the afternoon.
* low for thunder tomorrow afternoon.

prior day precipitation with more favorable clearing across the
northern half of the cwa has produced a more muddled environment
with conditions ranging between periodic stratus and patchy fog.
expansion of low-level stratus will cease and dissipate through the
morning with daytime heating. for the afternoon, the stalled frontal
boundary extending from near hillsdale west-northwest through battle
creek to holland will be the primary focus for renewed daytime
convection, supported by low-level moisture convergence along the
boundary. convective development will be most favorable along and
south of i-94, with probabilities increasing towards the
michigan/ohio border. where convection develops, 1200-1500 j/kg of
sbcape combined with sufficient bulk shear may support a few
organized storms. the strongest cells could produce localized
downburst winds of 40-60 mph and small hail. the limited and
uncertain convective coverage should keep these hazards isolated.
shower and thunderstorm chances end by the evening as the convergent
boundary moves south of the state.
high pressure builds in through the weekend, supporting dry weather
and extended periods of sunshine. daytime highs and lows hang out
around seasonal normal values in the mid 80s to low 60s,
respectively. a strong dome of high pressure across the rockies will
lose some amplification early next week as a series of mid-level waves
carve through the southern canadian provinces. this will fold the
elevated temperatures across the plains into the great lakes next
week, with 850mb temperatures of 18-22c arriving across se mi by
monday. strong mid-level subsidence will help support dry and mostly
sunny conditions through at least the early week period which,
coupled with the thermal advection, will likely push daytime highs
back into the 90s. at present time, tuesday and wednesday look to
have the most favorable chance to see highs peaking towards the mid
90s, coinciding with the stronger waa. above normal temperatures
have potential to continue into the end of the forecast period (thu-
fri), however the 500mb height contours become increasingly oriented
northwest to southeast, establishing a more direct midlevel flow
connection from the high plains into the great lakes. this may allow
upstream convection, or at least its associated cloud debris, to
progress into the region.

a weak cold front stalls near the lake st. clair and western lake
erie vicinity this morning. scattered showers and thunderstorms will
be possible in this area, mainly from late this morning into the
early afternoon. isolated storms may capable of producing wind gusts
in excess of 34 kt. meanwhile, high pressure builds across the
northern great lakes today which maintains north to northeast wind
of 10 to 15 kt for much of the area. gusts may briefly reach near 20
kt this afternoon across southern lake huron and saginaw bay due to
favorable fetch orientation. the high pressure eases farther south
on saturday and sunday, maintaining benign marine conditions with
light wind that becomes variable as the high passes overhead.
