.SYNOPSIS...
A front will meander across the eastern Great Lakes region through
early next week. The front will push south across the Ohio Valley as
a cold front on Tuesday with high pressure building across the
region by the end of the week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
Unsettled weather will continue to impact the local area through the
weekend as a stationary front remains draped across the region.
Periods of increased coverage of showers and thunderstorms will
continue through the near term along the stationary front and
as multiple shortwaves move overhead. Main periods to watch for
increased coverage will be late tonight/early Saturday morning
and Saturday afternoon into Saturday night. Forecast wise, kept
chance PoPs (30-50%) in place with PoPs increasing to likely
(50-70%) during higher confidence windows of increased
convective coverage. Can`t rule out instances of strong to
severe wind gusts in convection on Saturday as MLCAPE may
approach 2000-2500 J/kg with 30-35 knots of deep layer shear in
place close to the wavering surface boundary Saturday afternoon.
To highlight the risk, SPC has placed the entire forecast area
in a Marginal Risk (Level 1 of 5) for severe weather on
Saturday. Additionally, heavy rainfall remains possible as PWATs
will approach 2.00 inches. WPC continues to highlight the
forecast area in a Marginal Risk (Level 1 of 4) for excessive
rainfall.

Given the moist airmass in place and light winds overnight tonight,
patchy dense fog is possible along and east of I-71 before daybreak
Saturday morning. Overnight lows will remain warm as they settle in
the lower 70s tonight and Saturday night. High temperatures will
rise into the mid to upper 80s by Saturday afternoon.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
Showers and thunderstorms will exit on Sunday as the front pushes
out of the local area. Maintained some higher higher PoPs across
southern zones (south of US-30) Sunday afternoon and evening before
precipitation exits Sunday night. High temperatures rise into the
upper 80s on Sunday with overnight lows in the upper 60s to lower
70s. We`ll see another brief window of very warm and humid weather
early next week as high temperatures in upper 80s to lower 90s
combine with dew points in the mid 70s to produce maximum heat
index values in the mid to upper 90s on Monday. Low
temperatures settle in the low 70s Monday night. Scattered
showers are possible on Monday as the front from this weekend
will lift back northeast. Higher coverage in showers and
thunderstorms on Monday would reduce the threat of extreme heat
early next week. Will need to keep any eye on how the front
evolves to determine if heat headlines will be necessary on
Monday.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Tuesday will bring one final day of heat and humidity with
highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s and heat indices in the
upper 90s. A cold front will sink south across the area on
Wednesday which will usher in a cooler airmass as Canadian high
pressure begins to build south across the Great Lakes region.
Can`t rule out periods of showers through mid-week along the
aforementioned cold front. High temperatures in the mid 80s on
Wednesday will fall into the upper 70s by Thursday and Friday.
Milder overnight lows in the upper 50s to lower 60s are expected
beginning Wednesday night and continuing through the end of the
week.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z Saturday THROUGH Wednesday/...
Confidence in the timing and coverage of showers and
thunderstorms is low over the next 24 hours at all terminals.
There will be some in and out mist late tonight resulting in
some MVFR visibilities, but in general, conditions will mainly
stay VFR outside of showers and thunderstorms. A batch of
showers and thunderstorms currently over Indiana may move into
the KTOL and KFDY areas in the 02 to 04Z timeframe this evening,
with resultant periods of MVFR or lower conditions. It is
uncertain if this activity will reach KMFD, KCLE, KCAK, and
KYNG, but generally expect showers to expand in these areas late
tonight and early Saturday morning as the frontal boundary
starts to lift back northward as a warm front, so have periods
of showers and MVFR in the 05-12Z time period at those
terminals. Most of it will stay south of KERI, so kept the
precip mention to VCSH there late tonight and Saturday morning.

After a lull Saturday morning, another round of showers and
thunderstorms should develop overhead or move in from the west
for the afternoon as a mid-level shortwave and associated weak
surface low traverse the warm front that retreats northward.
The timing and evolution of this midday through the afternoon
round is the most uncertain part of this forecast package, but
the potential is there for one or more clusters of thunderstorms
containing heavy rain, lightning, and possibly severe winds in
some areas. Kept PROB30 groups to try and time the best windows
of these storms from west to east Saturday afternoon and
evening, with some slower timing compared to the 18Z TAF
package.

Winds will turn light S to SE tonight before veering to SW and
increasing to 5-10 knots Saturday morning. Winds may eventually
veer more W to NW behind the thunderstorms late Saturday
afternoon and evening.

Outlook...Non-VFR possible through Sunday in scattered showers
and thunderstorms with a frontal boundary lingering in the area.
VFR possible briefly on Monday ahead of a cold frontal passage
Tuesday, when non-VFR is possible again.

&&

.MARINE...
Winds will continue to be out of the west at around 10 knots
with waves less than 2 feet across the central and eastern
basin, and lower in the western basin. Overnight tonight, winds
will become light and variable before being predominately out of
the south-southwest by mid-morning tomorrow at less than 10
knots. Waves of less than 2 feet are expected through Saturday.
Winds will increase again between 10-15 knots out of the west
come Sunday morning and waves building to around 2 feet. Winds
and waves will begin to subside Sunday evening into Monday
morning and will be southwesterly as a weak frontal boundary
lifts north across the lake through Monday. A cold front will
sweep across the region through the day Tuesday with winds
increasing briefly to 10-15 knots out of the northwest and waves
building to around 2 feet. Onshore winds of 10 knots or less
are expected afterwards and through the rest of the week
