.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...
High pressure remains across the region this morning and will
slowly build off to the east throughout the day into early
Wednesday. Some patchy fog is possible along the lake shore and
in north-central and northwestern Ohio through mid-morning.

A weak low pressure system will push northward into the Ohio
River Valley on Wednesday that will bring a chance for showers
and thunderstorms. This will mainly be confined to the area
south of US 30, though an isolated shower or thunderstorm is
possible to the north. This will be dependent on how much of the
mid to low level dry air erodes away throughout the day. A cold
front will push southward across the region Wednesday afternoon
and evening though expecting it to be dry along and behind the
front. High pressure builds in from the north on Thursday and
will persist through the weekend as upper level ridging builds
from the west.

Temperatures will gradually increase through Wednesday with
highs into the upper 70s to low 80s and overnight lows into the
upper 50s to low 60s. Behind the cold front, high temperatures
will drop down into the low to mid 70s with overnight lows in
the low to mid 50s.
