key message 1...
the latest satellite imagery reveals clear skies across the
region this morning. numerous interior surface observations
indicate temperatures in the low to mid-30s (and even upper 20s
in some spots), evident of a widespread frost/freeze in
progress. depending on which areas hit freeze criteria this
morning, there is the potential for another round of frost
sunday night into monday, and again on monday night into tuesday
as the high pressure center slowly shifts east into southeast
ohio. generally seasonable and dry weather in the 60s are
expected into next weekend with lows in the 30s or 40s.
&&
.aviation /12z sunday through thursday/...
high pressure centered across the northeast will remain in
control through the taf period. vfr is ongoing and will
continue. patchy river valley fog is not impacting any taf sites
and will dissipate after sunrise. winds will trend south-
southwesterly on the backside of the high pressure with speeds
increasing modestly to 5-10kt this afternoon.
outlook...high pressure remains in control with vfr and light
winds through the week.
&&
.marine...
generally quiet marine conditions are expected into next weekend
with flow less than 20 knots. winds will increase out of the south
to southwest today into monday as high pressure slides just south of
lake erie, 10 to 15 knots. generally light flow, favoring an east to
northeast direction at times, is expected through much of the week
as high pressure influences the weather pattern.

issued at 214 am edt sun oct 18 2026
surface high pressure slowly slides eastward today from the southern
great lakes and then a couple more surface high pressure systems
pass by to the north of the great lakes tuesday and thursday.
meanwhile, mid level ridging continues to keep the area within a
large scale area of subsidence quelling any large scale area of rain
through this week and probably through next weekend. this is even as
a cold front stalls around the area monday night/tuesday and another
cold front moves through later wednesday/thursday am time frame.
these fropas will be dry fropas. troughs attempt to make their way
eastward but continue to run into the stout mid level ridge east of
the rockies through this work week. as such, various vort
maxes/surface lows take a northeast trek from the plains into the
western great lakes/southcentral canada area. attempts by waa
to affect the area cause a slow warming trend through the 60s
today and monday, reaching the 70s for highs on tuesday
southwest of us-30 through this week. daily lows look to trend
warmer as well beyond this morning. there`s a marginal chance
for frost monday morning with about 3 hours of 38 degree temps
or less, especially south of us-24. however, another
frost/freeze issuance will depend on if the growing season
continues or if this morning`s temps ended things. the area is
fairly dry with minrh values dipping into the 20s and 30s of
percents today through tuesday, but low level lapse rates aren`t
as strong as they could be, and even more of a factor, wind
gusts are below considerable thresholds. future dry days are
possible beyond tuesday, but wind gusts don`t look respectable
at this time. it is also possible our forecast dew points are
too high as currently constituted beyond tuesday.

dry and stable air mass will continue to promote vfr conditions
and clear skies. return south-southwest flow on the backside of
sfc high pressure may support a few gusts up to 20 knots this
afternoon at ksbn otherwise.
