the local area through this evening. a trough of low pressure will extend north from the southeastern united states coast and remain nearly stationary through monday morning. high pressure will move east across the area by tuesday. && near term /until 6 pm this evening/... high clouds continue to stream north filling in areas where it was clear over northeast ohio and northwest pennsylvania. this will be the trend through the day. made some minor changes to hourly temperatures this morning. no other major changes with this update. previous discussion... upper level pattern indicating upper level troughiness will remain persistent today but will become absorbed as part of the strengthening upper level low pressure system over the florida panhandle. this upper level feature will cause a trough to extend northwest into the forecast area tonight. in the mean time...surface high pressure to the north will continue to remain in control of the weather across the forecast area today. persistent brisk northeast flow will remain through the day and keep a mix of clouds and sun across the area. most persistent clouds will be the result of reverse lake effect off lake erie...especially southwest of the lake and along the lake shore. temperatures will still be on the cooler side as cold air advection continues through the day. winds will also be brisk through the day as gradient associated with the high pressure to the north remains tight. && short term /6 pm this evening through monday night/... upper level low that develops as a result of troughiness in the eastern united states will continue to strengthen over georgia. meanwhile...upper level ridging will occur from the central atlantic ocean west into new york and pennsylvania into ohio and the great lakes. the upper level ridge is progged to gradually break down over time leaving flow over the entire eastern third of the united states rather sluggish. what does this mean for us...this means there will likely be no strong push to move any systems affecting the local area out of here in any fast manner. latest models and hurricane official track of joaquin pushes the storm a bit further east over the atlantic...albeit sluggish movement. if this track holds...then models suggest a bit of moisture will surge west from the atlantic into the forecast area with the inverted trough and then dissipate as joaquin cuts off the flow of moisture into the forecast area. keep in mind if joaquin does take a further west track than currently projected...then more of an influence from the storm in the form of moisture could be felt during the latter half of the weekend and early next week. so...based on that information...i am going to keep the forecast pretty much where it is based on current trends. obviously...adjustments up or down will need to be made on rain chances through the weekend into early next week. temperatures are going to be tough during this period as cold air advection around the high pressure will keep temperatures on the cool side. as rain begins to move west into the area...clouds and precipitation will have a cooling effect and highs may struggle to climb out of the 50s saturday. overnight lows holding mostly in the 50s. lakeshore/coastal flood watch still remains in effect for counties adjacent to the western basin of lake erie. best chance for any flooding to occur will be later tonight. will still keep the watch in effect at this time. gusty winds on lake erie out of the northeast continues to cause a seiche where water levels have been on the rise on the west end of the lake. if the water levels rise tonight as expected...some flooding along the shore is possible. && long term /tuesday through thursday/... area will still have flow off of the lake on tuesday and therefore will keep some cloud cover across the area. have removed the mention of precipitation as we should be in good shape with surface high pressure and a flat ridge aloft. otherwise wednesday and thursday will be a waiting game...waiting for the western u.s. trough to eject out into the central plains. of course there are varying solutions as would be expected both because it is far out in time yet but also just as a result of the pattern we are in. temperatures will be seasonable. && aviation /06z friday through tuesday/... lingering low level moisture across northwest ohio resulting in ceilings hovering around 3k feet for the remainder of tonight. others have sct-bkn mid/high level decks. expect all sites to be vfr from mid morning onward. strong ne flow will continue. on and off gusts to 25 knots for the remainder of the night...increasing to near 30 knots for the daylight hours. locations along the lakeshore...cle/eri...may be able to reach 35 knots late this afternoon. again some degree of gusts will continue past sunset. lake clouds possible again friday night for tol/fdy. outlook...isolated non vfr possible friday night. non vfr at times saturday through monday. moderate ne winds continue through saturday. && marine... lake will continue to be rough through the first half of the weekend...subsiding on sunday. gale force winds are expected to develop today and continue tonight. it will be marginal at either end of the lake due to the shorter fetch. the increased northeast flow is due to high pressure residing near james bay that will press a little more further south today while low pressure develops off the southeast coast of the u.s. the high will weaken by monday but will still be influencing the lake on tuesday. &&
