NOAA GHCN normals and records at Erie International Airport (ERI) · Climate Prediction Center outlooksNo forecast has skill day by day past about two weeks, and this page does not print one. Where the models stop, the calendar takes over: the 1991 to 2020 normal for each date, the record high and low ever set on it, and where the Climate Prediction Center leans warm, cool, wet or dry over the coming weeks, the month and the season. A site that shows a high for a date three months out is showing you this normal with a wobble.
The forecast reaches Wed Oct 14, from the NWS grid, then the National Blend, then the mean of the global models. Beyond it the lines are the calendar.

Health and activities
Rules of thumb over the next 24 hours of forecast, the warnings in force, the station’s report, air quality and pollenNone of these is a measurement. Each is a rating of the forecast ahead, and of what is happening at the point right now, against what the activity or the ailment is known to mind, and each names the figure that decided it. An ailment or a pest is rated as a risk, low to extreme; an activity, a chore or a journey as a condition, poor to ideal.
The sun is down, so each rating says which span it is for: tomorrow’s daylight, tonight, or the next 24 hours.

Dark is the sun 18 degrees below the horizon; where it never gets that low, 12 degrees, marked nautical. Clear is sky cover of 20% or less. A bright moon is one above the horizon with a quarter or more of its disc lit. Transparency in the table is estimated from surface humidity (70% and 85% mark fair and poor) and visibility, since the forecast carries no haze or high cloud moisture. Seeing and transparency by hour, where shown, are Environment and Climate Change Canada’s astronomy forecast (regional model; seeing from cloud, wind shear, turbulence near the ground and the surface temperature trend; transparency from the moisture through the whole air column), under the Open Government Licence - Canada. Dew is the air within 2 °C of its dew point. Excellent is four or more clear moonless hours with good transparency; good is three; fair is one, or two clear hours.

Golden hour is the sun between 6 degrees above the horizon and 4 degrees below it; blue hour is the sun between 4 and 6 degrees below. These are the definitions timeanddate.com and PhotoPills use. Directions are degrees clockwise from true north, where the sun’s upper edge and the moon’s center cross a flat horizon; hills and buildings change both.

Flight restrictions nearby
Reading the FAA’s temporary flight restrictions.
Flight restrictions on the map. TFRs are not the whole picture: controlled airspace around airports needs LAANC authorization. Check the FAA’s B4UFLY.
Wind at 400 ft is estimated from the 10 m forecast by the power law, with exponents for each Pasquill stability class (Irwin 1979, rural, as in EPA dispersion models; the class from wind, sun height and cloud, after Turner 1970); gusts keep the ground gust’s margin. Caution from three quarters of your limit; the default 24 mph is the wind resistance printed for common sub-250 g drones. 14 CFR 107.51: “The minimum flight visibility, as observed from the location of the control station must be no less than 3 statute miles” and at least “500 feet below the cloud”. 14 CFR 107.29: “No person may operate a small unmanned aircraft system during periods of civil twilight unless the small unmanned aircraft has lighted anti-collision lighting visible for at least 3 statute miles”; civil twilight is the 30 minutes before sunrise and after sunset, in Alaska the Air Almanac’s. Kp: SWPC’s scales say satellite navigation problems may occur at G3 (Kp 7) and navigation is “degraded for hours” at G4 (Kp 8); Kp 5 is the typical app warning. Typical limits, not rules: rain chance 30% caution and 60% no-fly, thunder 10% and 20%, below 0 °C caution and −10 °C no-fly, over 40 °C caution. Your drone’s manual and the airspace come first.

Spraying: sustained wind 3 to 10 mph, the range US extension services and most labels give; gusts no more than 15 mph (this page’s limit); delta T (air minus wet-bulb temperature) 2 to 8 °C preferred and 8 to 10 °C marginal, from GRDC guidance, with the wet bulb by Stull’s formula; no hour at a 30% chance of rain or 0.25 mm forecast during the rain-free time. Follow the product label, which overrides all of this. Field days: dry is no daytime hour at a 30% chance and under 1 mm all day, wet is 6 mm (0.25 in) or more; soil moisture is not in the forecast, so ground still wet from earlier rain is not accounted for. Hay drying marks a dry day with humidity down to 50% and a breeze of 5 mph or more.

Periods in bold fall within an hour of sunrise or sunset. The weather’s side is the fishing index
Major periods are two hours centered on the moon’s passage overhead and underfoot; minor periods are one hour centered on moonrise and moonset: the conventional durations of John Alden Knight’s solunar tables (1936). The rating is this site’s: one point to start, two more within a day and a half of a new or full moon (one more within three and a half days), and one more when a period falls within an hour of sunrise or sunset. The theory has mixed support in fisheries research; the times are exact astronomy.

The forecaster’s discussion
NWS Cleveland, OH · issued Sep 29, 7:14 PM EDTWritten by the forecaster on duty for their own colleagues and for anyone who wants to know why the forecast says what it says. It is not edited for the public, so it uses the office’s shorthand; it is also the most honest thing any weather service publishes.
What Has Changed
A chance for some showers has been introduced to the forecast for Wednesday evening/night with a warm frontal passage.
KEY Messages
1) Dry and pleasant weather continues through Wednesday.
2) Some showers possible Wednesday night, followed by greater potential for widespread rain late Thursday into Friday.
3) Cooler weather this weekend into early next week. This period will be mainly dry with a couple of minor rain chances.
Discussion
KEY MESSAGE 1... Fantastic early fall weather continues midweek as we get into weak return flow behind departing high pressure. Any fog development tonight should be rather limited as a bit more of a gradient will likely allow most locations to hang onto a light breeze, though some valleys may still decouple and see patchy fog. Wednesday will feature an increase in clouds but should remain dry until the evening hours. Lows will generally dip into the 50s tonight, with the light south-southwest breeze keeping us a little milder than last night. The modest return flow will support slightly warmer highs in the mid-upper 70s on Wednesday.
KEY MESSAGE 2... A closed low (partially comprised of the remnants of East Pacific Hurricane Polo) will eject out of the Southwest and into the Plains Wednesday into Thursday, before shearing out/ weakening as it lifts towards the Ohio Valley on Friday. At the same time, ridging over the eastern U.S. will flatten as a shortwave moves through the northern Great Lakes and into New England, pushing a cold front southeast across the local area Thursday night into Friday.
A loosely defined warm front is expect to lift across the area late Wednesday into Wednesday night. Increasing mid-level moisture and some isentropic lift along/ahead of the warm front may support some rain showers late Wednesday through early Thursday, particularly across northern portions of the area. More models are indicating this potential than prior cycles, so have added some 20-40% type rain chances to the forecast. Rain amounts late Wednesday into early Thursday will generally be near or under 0.10", with locally up to 0.10-0.25" possible.
Much of the day Thursday will be dry in the open warm sector, with rain lingering early towards Northwest PA closer to the warm front and approaching from the northwest late in the day ahead of the cold front. The greatest window for rain will be from northwest to southeast Thursday night into Friday. There is some disagreement over how progressive the front will be, which will influence how rainy we are through the day Friday and overall QPF amounts. The current forecast leans a soggier direction for Friday, especially through the early afternoon, with some potential for northern portions of our area to dry out through the afternoon. Much of the area is expected to see 0.40-0.80" of rain Thursday night through Friday, with the greatest amounts expected across Northwest Ohio. Somewhat unintuitively, a slower front could lead to less overall QPF per ensemble members, as the overall system will be weakening with time. Regardless, ensembles suggest that a drier system producing as little as 0.20-0.50" overall is possible, with a more robust solution potentially dropping 1.00-1.50" in the Toledo area. Overall, this rain will be beneficial and should not pose a risk for impactful flooding falling on dry grounds.
Highs will push towards 80 on Thursday, our last day with such values for a while. Highs on Friday are forecast to range from the mid 60s to near 70, though that may be slightly misleading as highs will be early in the day ahead of the front, with temperatures holding steady or falling behind the front.
KEY MESSAGE 3... High pressure builds into the lower Great Lakes Friday night into Saturday behind the departing front, bringing a period of drier and somewhat cooler weather. Another potent shortwave is expected to dive through the Great Lakes and into New England Sunday and Monday, carving out a deeper trough over the Northeast. This will likely bring a re-enforcing/stronger cold front late Sunday or Monday that may be accompanied by a chance of showers, followed by an even cooler airmass the first half of next week. The overall airmass and high pressure strength may support a frost potential Monday night/early Tuesday, assuming favorable high placement for radiational cooling.
Aviation · 18Z Tuesday Through Sunday
VFR is expected through the TAF period with high clouds increasing in coverage throughout the day Wednesday. Winds will be light and variable at most terminals through this evening before becoming more southerly overnight. Expect winds to become more southwesterly and increase to 5 to 10 knots during the day Wednesday.
Outlook...Non-VFR possible with rain showers Thursday night through the weekend.
Marine
Southwesterly winds are expected to dominate tonight through Thursday ahead of a cold front that will cross the lake Thursday night. These southwest winds will increase to the 10-15kt range at times, including tonight/early Wednesday and Wednesday night through Thursday, building 1 to 3 footers in the open waters. Winds shift northerly on Friday behind the front and remain north-northeast through Saturday. The current forecast has 15-20kt winds and 2-4/3-5 foot type waves Friday through early Saturday, and as the prior discussion mentioned it's not uncommon for forecast winds to trend upwards behind good cold fronts in the early fall. Given that, there is elevated potential for Small Craft Advisories Friday into early Saturday. A brief period of calmer conditions is likely late Saturday into Sunday, with another push of stronger north-northwest winds behind a cold front early next week.

- The Storm Prediction Center’s severe weather category for each of the next eight days, the Weather Prediction Center’s rainfall forecast to day seven and its winter storm severity, and the Climate Prediction Center’s odds for days six to fourteen, all read at your coordinate.
- Against the record
- Each forecast day beside the same date at the nearest long-record station: the thirty-year normal and the record high and low with their years, so a forecast high that would break a record says so.
- The next 90 days
- The forecast as far as the grid, the National Blend and the global models reach, and the calendar after that: the normal and the record for every date, with the Climate Prediction Center’s lean for the weeks, the month and the season drawn over them. No made-up highs for a date three months out.
Common questions
Where does this forecast come from?
From the National Weather Service forecast grid published at api.weather.gov, the same grid the local forecast office edits through the day and the source of every forecast on weather.gov. The written periods, the hourly digest and the forecaster’s discussion are the NWS’s own products, shown as issued. Nothing here is a blend a website made.
How far ahead does it go?
The grid runs seven days ahead, hour by hour for the first days and in three to six hour steps after that. The National Blend of Models carries the days to eleven and the global models to sixteen. Beyond that the page carries the national centers’ outlooks, severe weather to day eight, rainfall to day seven, and the Climate Prediction Center’s odds for the coming weeks, month and season, over a ninety-day calendar of the normal and the record for each date. No forecast has skill day by day past about two weeks, and this page does not print one.
Why is this different from the app on my phone?
Most forecast apps show a blend of models chosen by the company that makes the app. This page shows the forecast the local National Weather Service office issues, edited by the forecasters who will also issue the warnings, and it shows all of it rather than the six numbers that fit on a phone. The discussion explains the reasoning, which no app carries.
What is a place’s address here?
Every town has its own page, such as /forecast/us/oklahoma/oklahoma-city/, and every day at a town has one too. A ZIP code typed into the search goes to the town it belongs to. Any coordinate at all can be looked up, and the page names the nearest town.
