.KEY MESSAGES...

- Dry and Warm Weather Continues This Week

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 312 AM EDT Mon Sep 16 2024

Upper level ridging will continue to dominate the wx pattern
bringing a continuation of dry and warm wx through the upcoming
week with high temps in the 80s daily.

An overall medium range guidance consensus suggests that any
showers tied to the remnants of whatever becomes of potential
tropical cyclone eight will stay southeast of our area as ridging
continues to dominate the pattern here. However some cloud cover
from this system could move in by Wednesday and Thursday and
potentially keep high temps a few degrees cooler than what will
be experienced today and tomorrow.

The above to much above normal temps will persist right through
next weekend with dry wx to continue.

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z TUESDAY/...
Issued at 719 AM EDT Mon Sep 16 2024

High pressure east of the region will continue to dominate the
weather through the period. This feature will keep the atmosphere
relatively dry and winds mostly under 15 knots. Patchy fog early
this morning may lead to local impacts through 13z or so. Another
round of patchy fog is expected tonight and KJXN looks most prone
to that impact. As has happened each of the past few days, an
onshore wind is likely to develop again this afternoon.

.MARINE...
Issued at 312 AM EDT Mon Sep 16 2024

Tranquil conditions will continue on Lake Michigan through the
upcoming week with wave heights of only around a foot or less and
offshore winds.
