.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
-- Changed Discussion --
For Thursday night into Friday, high pressure at the surface and
aloft will build east into the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley. Skies
will be mostly clear/mostly sunny. The coolest morning will be
Friday morning will light to calm winds (lows in the 40s, but some
lower 40s possible in the usual cold spots), followed by highs in
the lower to mid 70s.

High pressure at the surface and aloft will move off to the east
Friday night into Saturday. A mid level s/wv is forecast to move
into our region during Saturday into Saturday night timeframe. This
will bring an increase in clouds, deeper moisture, and thus a chance
of showers and thunderstorms. After lows in the upper 40s to lower
50s, highs will range from the mid 70s to the lower 80s. Lows
Saturday night will fall into the upper 50s to lower 60s.

For Sunday into Tuesday, in a quasi-zonal like pattern, a moist
airmass will interact with episodic mid level s/wvs moving west to
east through the flow, keeping the threat for showers and
thunderstorms in the forecast. Under a southerly low level flow
pattern, it will continue to warm to more June levels, highs mainly
in the 80s , lows in the 60s. The humidity will be on the increase
as well, making it feel like summer has arrived on cue for early
June.
