.SYNOPSIS... High pressure will lead to dry and mild conditions through the middle part of next week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Surface high pressure will be centered over the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley region tonight. Any cu will dissipate toward sunset, leaving mostly clear skies tonight. With light winds, areas of mainly river valley fog can be expected again later tonight. Lows tonight will be in the 50s.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... Surface high pressure and the dry airmass will remain in place across the region Sunday into Sunday night. Temperatures will be seasonably warm with highs on Sunday in the mid 80s. Lows Sunday night will again be in the 50s.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... On Monday morning, surface high pressure and upper ridging will extend from New York westward across the Great Lakes and northern Ohio Valley. Although this ridge and surface high are expected to modulate somewhat, and perhaps shift around slightly with time, these features will remain the dominant weather features for the ILN CWA through the extended forecast period. Forecast trends for the tropical system (currently Tropical Depression 9) have moved toward a solution that will keep this system out of the Ohio Valley, and possibly off the coast of the CONUS entirely. This appears to be a result of a stronger forecast for Hurricane Humberto (exerting a stronger influence on now-TD9) and a lack of a clear path northward due to the ridging over the north-central and northeastern CONUS. As indicated in the 11AM NHC discussion, there are still some computer model ensemble members suggesting the system could make landfall, but even if this were to occur the chances for impacts over the Ohio Valley now appear very small.
A general downward trend in temperatures is expected through the week. Even though the tropical system is expected to remain away from the area, the cool and dry area of high pressure will lead to easterly / northeasterly flow, with negative theta-e advection. Max temps on Tuesday are expected to be in the lower 80s (above normal) before moving into the mid 70s by Thursday (close to normal). This dry air mass will likely keep skies mostly clear through the forecast period, with little if any chances for rain. The forecast through the end of the week will thus remain dry.
&&
.AVIATION /16Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... Few-sct cu across the area this afternoon will dissipate heading into this evening. With clear skies and light winds, areas of valley fog can be expected later tonight. This will lead to IFR to VLIFR conditions at KLUK late tonight into early Sunday. Any fog will burn off through mid morning with VFR conditions otherwise prevailing.
OUTLOOK...No significant weather expected.
&&
.ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. KY...None. IN...None.
