east across the region for today and tuesday. a weak clipper will slide east across the great lakes on tuesday and leave a weak front across the lower lakes through mid week. the next frontal boundary will be crossing the area during the first part of the weekend. && near term /until 6 pm this evening/... quiet but cold day today. the combination of temperatures and wind first thing this morning may make for wind chill readings that are borderline advisory criteria /-10/ across nrn ohio. this will be temporary. have continued the wind chill adv for nw pa. expect their winds to come up some this morning and allow them to reach as low as -15 degrees. so winds will come up as the high builds in this morning and low pressure works its way off the east coast. clouds associated with the system over the tn valley and the upper trough will exit today and subsidence/drier air will take over. therefore will start out cloudy...but expect clearing as the day progresses. not much improvement in the temperature department with highs only reaching into the teens. normal highs now are lower 40s. no changes made with this early morning update. && short term /6 pm this evening through thursday night/... high pressure directly overhead tonight. with this cold air mass expect temperatures once again to dip below zero. fortunately this time around winds will be near calm and will not have any wind chill issues to deal with. clear to start the night which will allow for a quick radiational drop in temperatures. some clouds will be forecast to move into nw oh toward tuesday morning. will keep temps generally between zero and -5 but as is the case with these types of nights...the range can be much greater. for tuesday through thursday baroclinic zone develops across the lower lakes. weak impulses will try and produce some light snow...but with dry air in place...will keep just the 20 to 30 percent chances across the far north. there are differences in the details in the models that will have temperature consequences. the gfs develops an inverted trough across the upper ohio valley and therefore buckles that baroclinic zone enough to bring somewhat warmer air into the area...above freezing by wed/thu. otherwise the nam and ecmwf allow the frontal zone to sink southward with time building the high across the great lakes. have sided toward the colder solution for wed/thu...delaying the warm up. again only low chance pops at best right now. && long term /friday through sunday/... should get a decent south southwest flow on friday ahead of the next cold front. most of the guidance is indicating a nice moderation in temperature with highs probably near normal in the lower/mid 40s in most areas. the warm up may be short lived. the 00z gfs and ecmwf are faster with the front on saturday. the canadian gem is still slower and has a wave holding up the front. will nudge the saturday forecast temperatures a few degrees colder but not go as cold as it could be considering the uncertainty on the timing on the front. when push comes to shove there will probably be at least some light precipitation with the front but will just keep a low chance pop from friday night through saturday night for now given the uncertainty on the timing or whether there might be a wave on the front. colder again by sunday with pseudo arctic air but as we get toward mid march the cold should not be as bitter. && aviation /12z monday through friday/... high pressure will build in today/early tonight. generally vfr conditions except for a few patches of 018-025bkn this morning/early afternoon in the north flow off lake erie and lake huron. clear early tonight then increasing mid and high clouds. outlook...non vfr wednesday into thursday. && marine... not expecting any significant winds during the forecast period. arctic high pressure from the upper midwest will continue to build across lake erie today and be almost overhead by tonight. a weak trough of low pressure will cross the northern great lakes on tuesday. a weak cold front will sag south across the lake early thursday. winds will come around from the south by friday ahead of yet another cold front over the weekend. && cle watches/warnings/advisories... oh...none. pa...wind chill advisory until 10 am est this morning for paz001>003. marine...none. && $$ synopsis...oudeman near
