.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...
A series of high pressures move in from the north across the
Great Lakes region through Wednesday before high pressure
departs to the southeast and off the Atlantic coast towards the
end of the week. Highs tend to be in the 70s, with temperatures
warming into the 80s Thursday onward on the backside of the
departing high. Daily afternoon lake breeze through Thursday
will likely keep the lakeshore area a bit cooler.

KEY MESSAGE 2...
The chance of showers and thunderstorms returns over the
weekend, with highest PoPs of around 30-50% as low pressure and
associated cold front moves across the area. Early indications
in model data point towards towards little to no threat of
severe weather and flooding at this time.

.AVIATION /18Z Sunday THROUGH Friday/...
Flying in and out of northern Ohio and NWPA will be ideal over
