Key messages
1) Above normal temperatures and dry weather, aside from isolated rain showers Thursday night, will continue through Saturday.
2) Rain chances return Sunday and into early next week.
Discussion
KEY MESSAGE 1: High pressure displaced just to our north will gradually drift eastward toward the east coast on Wednesday and Thursday. Southerly flow on the backside of the departing high will bring well above normal temperatures (highs in the 70s, lows in 40s/50s), potentially challenging record high temperatures on Thursday (see climate section below).
A low pressure system located well to the north near the Georgian Bay will bring a cold front across the area Thursday night. Moisture will be severely lacking and weak forcing will limit rain potential, with only isolated rain showers expected Thursday night. Rain chances are bit higher (40-50%) in Erie, PA where Lake Erie may provide a bit more low-level moisture/convergence.
High pressure builds back in Friday and Saturday, and ushering "cooler" but still above normal temperatures with highs in the 60s and lows in the 40s/50s.
KEY MESSAGE 2: As high pressure departs to the east, broad isentropic lift brings rain chances back Sunday and into early next week. Ensemble QPF mean calls for around 0.25" with very low probabilities of an isolated 1", which means this rain won't be very impactful. However, long-range ensemble guidance is hinting at a potential pattern shift with rain chances continuing next week.
.AVIATION /00Z Wednesday THROUGH Sunday/: VFR conditions will continue through Wednesday as high pressure lingers over the area. Northeast winds of 3-8 knots will become light and variable over the next few hours. By early afternoon on Wednesday, winds will have shifted to become southwesterly at 3-9 knots through the end of the period. BKN high ceilings are expected to spread across the entire area but will not impact aviation conditions.
Outlook: Primarily VFR expected through Saturday.
Marine
Northeast to east winds 10-15 knots will continue today with wave heights 1-3 ft decreasing to 1 ft by tonight. High pressure returns Wednesday as winds become light and variable. Southerly to southwesterly winds increase to 10-15 knots Wednesday night into Thursday before become northwest and northerly Thursday night following a cold frontal passage. There may be a brief period of 2-4 waves Thursday morning, especially in the central basin. Otherwise, high pressure brings light and variable winds on Friday, becoming easterly by Saturday.
