.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...
A warm front will continue to move north across the region this
evening into the early overnight hours. High pressure builds in
southeast of the area early tomorrow and will persist through much
of the week. As a result, there will be west to southwesterly flow
across the region that will bring in warm moist air with
temperatures and dew points climbing as a result. High temperatures
will rise up into the upper 80s to low 90s this evening then into
the mid to upper 90s through Thursday. With dew points climbing into
the upper 60s to mid 70s, heat indices will be in climb over 100
degrees for all of the region. Northwest and Northern Ohio will
climb above 105 starting tomorrow and have been upgraded to an
Extreme Heat Warning. Overnight lows will be mild throughout the
week will lows in the mid to upper 70s providing little relief to
the heat related impacts.

The upper level ridge begins to break down towards the end of the
week. Temperatures are still expected to be above average with highs
in the upper 80s to low 90s through the weekend. Heat related
headlines may need to be extended across much of Ohio. Though,
depending on how the precipitation unfolds late this week will
determine how warm some areas get.

KEY MESSAGE 2...
As the upper level ridge breaks down and the surface high pressure
weakens, precipitation chances will return to the region beginning
on Friday. Global models show a shortwave across fairly zonal flow
moving through the region on Friday, though there has been quite a
bit of variance in the models. Will need to continue to monitor
this time frame to see how convection will impact our region
Friday night into the weekend.

.AVIATION /00Z Tuesday THROUGH Saturday/...
Mainly VFR. Low potential for patchy fog/mist early Tuesday
morning between 10-12z, but odds of impacting any particular
TAF site are low. A surge of mid-level moisture may contribute
to a period of SCT-BKN clouds around 3500-4500 feet from west to
east late tonight through midday Tuesday, which is included in
most of the TAFs...especially farther east. Light and variable
winds tonight with land breeze development flipping CLE and ERI
offshore overnight. Winds will generally be southwest at 7-15kt
with a few gusts over 20kt on Tuesday.

Outlook...VFR through most of Thursday. Low risk for an isolated
shower or storm Thursday afternoon. Greater potential for
scattered showers and storms Friday and Saturday afternoons.

&&

.MARINE...
Generally light wind conditions of 15 knots or less expected
this week. Onshore flow today will shift to southwesterly on
