.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
ANOTHER WAVE OF THUNDERSTORMS NOW INTO SOUTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN
WILL IMPACT THE AREA THIS MORNING. EXPECT A BREAK LATE MORNING
INTO EARLY AFTERNOON...WITH ANOTHER WAVE OF THUNDERSTORMS LATER

WITH ALL OF THE TSRA AND DEBRIS CLOUDS HAVE LOWERED TEMPS A COUPLE
OF DEGREES ACROSS THE AREA. STILL WITH TEMPS IN THE MID TO UPPER
90S AND DEW POINTS IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S WILL STILL NEED A

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO BE HOT AND HUMID WITH PERIODS OF TSRA
AS A SERIES OF CONVECTIVE COMPLEXES FORM UPSTREAM AND MOVE ACROSS
AREA. TIMING THESE WAVES IS PROBLEMATIC AT BEST.

GFS AND ECMWF CONTINUE TO PUSH COLD FRONT ACROSS THE AREA SATURDAY
NIGHT USHERING IN MUCH MORE SEASONAL CONDITIONS. GFS SEEMS TO BE
OVERDOING PREICP WHILE THE ECMWF REMAINS NEARLY DRY. FOR FORECAST
JUST KEPT CHANCE POPS GOING FOR SATURDAY NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A LARGE AREA OF SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE FROM CENTRAL CANADA IS PROGGED
TO BUILD SOUTHEAST FOR MUCH OF NEXT WEEK. THIS SHOULD PROVIDE FOR
COOLER AND DRY WEATHER. TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR OR SOMEWHAT BELOW
NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
IT IS ANOTHER FORECAST THAT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO TIME AND LOCATE
THE SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. IT WILL BE VFR WITH THE
EXCEPTION OF THE SHOWERS/STORMS.

THE BEST CHANCE FOR SHOWERS/STORMS THIS MORNING WILL BE ACROSS
NORTHWEST OHIO AS THE ACTIVITY FROM MICHIGAN DROPS SOUTHEAST BUT
WE CANNOT RULE OUT A SHOWER/STORM JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE THIS
MORNING. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL SAG SOUTH THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS NE
OH/NW PA. ADDITIONAL SHOWERS/STORMS WILL PROBABLY BREAK OUT BY LATE
THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS NORTHWEST AND NORTH CENTRAL OHIO BUT MUCH

.MARINE...
A WEAK BACK DOOR COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTH ACROSS LAKE ERIE THIS
MORNING AND HIGH PRESSURE OVER EASTERN CANADA WILL BUILD. THIS WILL
RESULT IN WINDS SHIFTING TO NORTH AND THEN NORTHEAST. THE GRADIENT
WILL BE RATHER WEAK. MARINERS SHOULD REMAIN ALERT FOR A CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS ON THE WEST HALF OF THE LAKE.

WINDS WILL VEER BACK TO THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST TONIGHT AND
TOMORROW. WINDS WILL INCREASE JUST A BIT AHEAD OF A STRONGER COLD
FRONT WHICH WILL DROP SOUTH ACROSS LAKE ERIE ON SATURDAY MORNING.
THIS WILL BE THE BEGINNING OF AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF NORTH TO
NORTHEAST FLOW ON THE LAKE INTO NEXT WEEK.
