A broad upper level low will gradually shift east of the region through tonight. However, coupled with northerly/northwesterly flow enough moisture looks to be trapped to keep clouds around most of the day. The lift with the upper level low may still be sufficient for a few sprinkles or isolated showers but any QPF looks very light. Thanks to the clouds temperatures will struggle to reach the mid and upper 60`s today. Clouds will still be slowly clearing out tonight. This should prevent fog from becoming dense or widespread as well with low temperatures around 50. If clearing occurs quicker though fog formation would be more widespread given the fairly light winds. High pressure builds in for Wednesday yielding warmer temperatures and more sunshine with temperatures likely well into the 70`s.

&& .SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/... 310 PM Update... Upper level low shifts eastwards on Wednesday allowing a ridge to build in over our region along with a surface high. Conditions are expected to remain calm and dry with partly to mostly sunny skies. A temperature increasing trend starts on Wednesday as winds shift southwest. Highs return to the mid and upper 70s with overnight lows in the mid to upper 50s. High pressure is expected to remain in control through Thursday with temperatures climbing into the low to mid 80s. Cloud cover begins to fill in Thursday night as a frontal system approaches the Great Lakes. Lows will be more seasonable with temperatures ranging in the low to mid 60s overnight. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/... 310 PM Update... Frontal system moves through the region on Friday bringing scattered showers and thunderstorms through the day. Precipitation still looks to move in early Friday morning for both the EURO and GFS resolutions. Canadian favors a more slower resolution with showers moving in towards the afternoon time frame. Pwat values up to 1.5 are expected with these showers leading to the potential for locally heavy rainfall. Model soundings also show some instability parameters present suggesting strong storms could also be possibility. Although this will be highly dependent on the timing of the frontal passage. High pressure builds into the region behind the front, bringing nice and dry conditions to the CWA for the weekend and into Monday. Temps will be seasonable, in the 70s and 80s through the period. && .AVIATION /08Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
