Discussion

KEY MESSAGE 1: A cold front accompanied by rain showers will move southeast across the area late this evening through tonight. It'll be a short window (generally between 22-05Z), with showers lasting no long er than an hour or two at any given location. Thunder is unlikely but can't be ruled out in the Toledo area and then along the lakeshore, with a brief gust of wind mainly near the lakeshore.

Dry weather returns Friday and Saturday as high pressure build back in across the region. Slightly cooler, albeit still above normal, with highs in the 60s Friday and Saturday behind the cold front. Chilly overnight lows Friday night in the 40s for most and the low to mid 30s in the higher terrain of Northwest Pennsylvania.

KEY MESSAGE 2: As high pressure departs to the east, isolated, light rain showers may accompany a warm front Sunday night into Monday. Low pressure and an upper-level low will build into the region through midweek, with rain shower chances increase Monday night onward. Above normal temperatures will remain in place, and in fact will be well above normal Tuesday and Wednesday.

.AVIATION /06Z Friday THROUGH Tuesday/: At 06Z a cold front extended from ERI to MFD and is moving southeast. Winds ahead of the front are southwesterly but will shift to northwesterly behind the front through 07Z. Rain showers associated with the front have ended but some pockets of MVFR cloud are possible, mainly at ERI but may also briefly impact YNG through 10Z. A longer period of MVFR may linger at ERI with some lake enhanced cloud continuing through Friday morning. Otherwise, most other terminals will trend towards clearing low clouds and mostly sunny skies for today. While a few wind gusts to 20 knots remain possible through about 08Z near Lake Erie, winds will tend to settle into the 5-10 knot range through this afternoon then become light easterly tonight.

Outlook: Apart from low rain chances Monday into Tuesday, mainly VFR expected through Tuesday.

Marine

Winds will become northwest this evening into tonight behind a cold front. Choppy conditions with waves 2-4 feet in the central basin remain possible behind the frontal passage through early Friday morning. As high pressure departs to the east, light easterly winds (less than 10 knots) are expected Friday night into Saturday, becoming southeast on Sunday.
