.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
-- Changed Discussion --
A weak cold front has pushed through the area this morning. We
are still seeing post frontal scattered rain showers over
portions of NEOH and NWPA. These rain showers will move east of
our area shortly after sunrise. Clouds associated with rain
showers and cold front will slowly lift out later this morning
as well.

An upper level trough over the Upper and Eastern Great Lakes
region will dig across the area today. Westerly winds will pick
up and become gusty later this morning through the afternoon up
to 30 mph. We will see some sunshine later this morning through
the afternoon. High temperatures will be in the lower 70s over
NWPA and NEOH. Upper 70s for high temps will be over NWOH today.
Clouds will start to increase once again by this evening. A
secondary cold front will move across the area tonight. This
front will be slightly stronger with cooler air behind it. A few
rain showers will be possible this evening over far NEOH and
NWPA with this next cold front. High pressure will build in from
southern Ontario late tonight into Monday. Clearing skies will
arrive behind this front later tonight and Monday. Overnight
temps will be in the lower to middle 50s. Monday`s high
temperatures will be noticeably cooler in the 60s. A few
locations in NWOH could climb to 70 degrees.

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...

Upper level trough will continue to exit to the east as high
pressure builds over the region from the Upper Midwest. This high
will bring dry and quiet weather to the region through the short
term period. High temperatures will be slightly below normal in the
low to mid 70s on Tuesday before rising into the mid to upper 80s by
Wednesday under broad southerly flow and WAA.

Above normal temperatures with periods of shower and thunderstorm

temperatures in the upper 80s to lower 90s Thursday and Friday
before a cold front swings across the region Thursday night into
Friday. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms along the front
primarily during the day Friday. Slightly cooler and closer to

time. There are scattered rain showers that will impact CLE,
YNG, and ERI through about 09z this morning which may bring down
visibility to 5sm at times. Ceilings should start lifting and
scattered out around sunrise this morning and from west to east.
High and mid level VFR ceilings may return late this afternoon

Weak low will exit the the east early this morning as a mid level
ridge builds overhead and winds decrease to 10-15 knots. Winds
briefly turn west-southwesterly ahead of our next trough this
afternoon before returning northwesterly while increasing to 15-20
knots late tonight. Onshore flow will allow for waves to build to 2-
4 feet this afternoon and evening. A Small Craft Advisory and Beach
Hazards Statement are in effect from this afternoon through late
tonight. North to northwest winds will persist through Monday as
upper trough remains overhead. High pressure builds over the region
by Tuesday and will allow for quiet conditions on Lake Erie through
the end of the week.
