MAIN FOCUS OF THE LONG TERM PERIOD IS STRONG SHORTWAVE AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT ARRIVING BY THE START OF THE WEEKEND.

HIGH TEMPS SHOULD REMAIN IN THE UPPER 70S AND SUSPECT OVERNIGHT LOWS ON THURS WILL DROP INTO THE MID TO UPPER 50S GIVEN CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS. THE THREAT FOR MORE UNSETTLED WEATHER BEGINS INTO THE WEEKEND AS UPPER LEVEL PATTERN BEGINS TO AMPLIFY IN RESPONSE TO CHANGES ACROSS THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST WITH RIDGING IN THE WEST AND TROUGHING IN THE EAST. SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVE PROGGED TO DIG ACROSS THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON WITH TRAILING SFC COLD FRONT.
