weak front was slowly making its way se across the
forecast area with dewpoints in the low 60s ahead of it and mid
to upper 50 in its wake. the few showers/storms that came close
to ne hillsdale county have dissipated. the overall sfc flow
will become ne and persist for the next couple of days, allowing
drier and slightly cooler air to filter in.
concerns for high swim risk and small craft conditions, which
were already on the marginal side at this time yesterday, appear
to be even more questionable given the overall weak flow that
may increase somewhat during the day thursday. while the
argument can be made to drop both headlines (which grr has
recently done to our north), will keep things in place overnight
and let the day shift assess conditions after sunrise.
outside of the beach/marine issues, no real weather concerns as
trough pushes east of the region and a nw to se omega block
takes hold into at least saturday night with seasonable
temperatures and comfortable humidity. upper level heights
attempt to lower somewhat sunday into sunday night in response
to a stronger disturbance moving through central ontario.
another front may accompany this trough, but little overall
impact is expected. med range models suggest the omega block
will weaken, but much of the midwest and western lakes will
remain dry through the period even as the flow aloft becomes
semi zonal by mid week.
