615 am update... The ongoing forecast remains on track and no adjustments are needed at this time. Previous discussion... A large and deep upper level trough has developed across the Great Lakes region and the Northeast CONUS this morning. A secondary cold front has also pushed through the area overnight. High pressure centered northwest of the Upper Great Lakes region will build southward across our area today. We will start off with mostly clear or fair weather skies this morning around sunrise. Cloud cover will increase from the north later this morning and linger through the afternoon. Most areas will remain dry today but there could be a few spotty lake effect rain showers over NEOH and NWPA later today. North or northwesterly winds will increase to 15 to 20 mph during the day with gusts up to 30 mph possible. High temperatures will range from the upper 50s over NWPA and the lower 60s over NEOH. Across NWOH, temps will try to climb to the middle and upper 60s. High pressure will build over the Ohio Valley region tonight with clearing skies. Temperatures will be rather cool with middle to upper 40s expected away from the lakeshore. Areas near the lake will be in the lower 50s. Light winds and mostly sunny skies will return on Tuesday with high temps still below average, in the upper 60s to middle 70s.

&& .SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... Warming temperatures and mostly quiet weather will be the story through mid week as high pressure remains overhead much of the Eastern CONUS. The high glides toward the East Coast Wednesday night into Thursday ahead of a weak low pressure system. This low will drag a cold front toward the Ohio Valley Thursday night bringing our next chance for showers and storms. Slightly below normal lows Tuesday night rise into low to mid 80s by Wednesday. Warmer Wednesday and Thursday night as lows settle in the mid to upper 60s. Hot by Thursday with highs roughly 5-10 degrees above normal as they rise into the upper 80s to lower 90s. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... Aforementioned cold front will continue to sweep southeastward across the region during the day Friday with continued chances for showers and thunderstorms through Friday evening. Another expansive high pressure system will build over the Great Lakes region by Saturday and keep dry weather in the forecast through the weekend. Highs in the mid to upper 80s Friday will dip slightly by Saturday with near normal temperatures in the upper 70s to lower 80s. Warming up again Sunday with highs once again approaching 90s across much of Northern Ohio, mid 80s in Northwest Pennsylvania. Expect continued warmth beyond Sunday as per CPC`s 6-10 and 8-14 day outlooks. && .AVIATION /12Z Monday THROUGH Friday/...

&& .MARINE... Upper level trough remains situated across Lake Erie and will allow for north to northwest winds 10-15 to persist through the day today. Onshore flow will allow for wave heights of 2-3 feet through tonight with these choppy conditions leading to a moderate risk of rip currents during the day today east of the Islands. High pressure will gradually build eastward tonight and remain over the region through the middle of the week. This will allow for much quieter marine conditions with wind speeds under 10 knots through Tuesday night. Southerly flow will increase during the day Wednesday and Thursday to 10-15 knots. && .CLE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. PA...None. NY...None.
