lower michigan will move southeast across the local area tonight and then stall just to the south on thursday. this front will eventually move back north across the area on friday. an area of low pressure will dissipate as it moves east across the area friday night into saturday. && near term /until 6 am thursday morning/... the area has gotten fairly quiet with just a couple storms over far ne oh and nw pa. the surface cold front remains over lower michigan but is currently quiet. surface dewpoints have snuck into the middle 60s in the west but it appears much of the area remains capped. models continue to show this cap busting in a couple of hours but the window for severe weather appears to be getting smaller and smaller. the best capes and shear profiles for severe weather will be over far ne oh and nw pa and will continue with a few hours of likely pops there. further west expect to see mainly scattered showers and storms for a few hours this evening. if this activity doesn't get going by 22z or so...much of the area could end up being dry tonight. either way it should be mainly dry after midnight. have lowered precip chances most areas for tonight from the earlier forecasts. && short term /6 am thursday morning through saturday night/... the cold front is expected to stall just to the south of the area on thursday. the models are dry for tomorrow but given the proximity of the front am not comfortable pulling precip from the forecast. the morning hours should be dry however. precip chances will diminish during the evening and the remainder of the night will be dry. that's when things get interesting as the warm front is expected to lift back north across the area on friday. will see a warm and very humid airmass spread back across the area with showers and thunderstorms breaking out during the day. the front will get close to the lake and then slow down meaning the local area will be in a favorable location for continued redevelopment. the gfs is showing model run qpfs of nearly 3 inches by late sunday. this is probably overdone but most of the area should see precip from time to time from friday afternoon through early sunday. do not think saturday will be a complete wash out but am confident that it will rain at some point. have bumped precip chances to likely for both friday and night and saturday. it may dry out saturday night for a time as the front tries to move back south but still think we need at least chance wording. guidance temps are in the ballpark. && long term /sunday through wednesday/... warm humid and unsettled weather will continue into the first part of next week. lingering/wavering front will still be in the vicinity until late in the week. therefore the forecast still is fairly generic with 30 to 50 percent chances spread throughout the extended. there are signs that the ridge builds enough that precip chances would not be more than scattered until stronger forcing moves through. that may be a cold front on tuesday. if the timing holds then precip chances could be raised for that day. will continue with the above normal high temperatures and the mild/warm nights. && aviation /18z wednesday through monday/... scattered showers and thunderstorms over the region have diminished in intensity and coverage since late this morning.the band of clouds associated with this convection has thinned. the timing of this late morning or early afternoon convection has disrupted the typically timing of convective development. as cin diminishes over the next few hours and cape increases especially over northwest ohio...expect some redevelopment of showers and thunderstorms. with dcape increasing to the 1200-1400 range some storms may have intense downdrafts/downbursts. expect activity over northwest ohio around 22-23z with gradual progression east and weakening. with some uncertainty in location and timing have just included vcts or vcsh at taf sites. overnight the weak cold front will settle southward across the region by morning. southwest winds of 15-25 knots will diminish by 00z and become light north to northeast by morning. outlook...areas of non-vfr fri thru sun with sct shra/tsra. && marine... the weather on the lake will be unsettled over the next several days with opportunities for thunderstorms. a cold front northwest of the lake...across lake michigan and western lake huron...will sink south to the vicinity of the lake tonight. with a moderate southwest flow on the lake the small craft advisory will continue as scheduled this evening. winds are expected to diminish later this evening and also shift around to the north. this front will stay in the vicinity of the lake through the weekend...at times lifting north of the lake and at others sinking southward. right now it looks like it shift back north of the lake on friday...but be brought south again by a wave on the front friday night. the next push northward will be either sunday or sunday night. winds will shift several times through early next week with this front not flushing out of the area until next week. other than within thunderstorms and this evening...winds do not appear to be enough to create small craft advisory conditions through monday. && cle watches/warnings/advisories... oh...none. pa...none. marine...small craft advisory until 10 pm edt this evening for lez147>149. small craft advisory until 7 pm edt this evening for lez142>146. && $$ synopsis...kubina near term...kubina short term...kubina long term...oudeman aviation...laplante marine...kec/oudeman
