with high pressure over southern ontario and prominent upper level
ridging over the central conus expected to build into the great
lakes over the next several days, a tranquil week is ahead. expect
lots of sunshine, light winds, and highs generally in the upper 60s
to low 70s each day. little to no rainfall is expected over the next
7 days and mainly dry conditions look to continue through at least
the end of the month. we may see some showers out of a cold frontal
passage early next week but for now chances remain very low (15% or
less).
despite some clouds over northwest ohio and northeast indiana
overnight with a weak backdoor cold front from lake erie,
patchy to widespread dense fog is possible overnight into
wednesday morning. light easterly flow may allow for advection
fog to develop, especially along and east of i-69. forecast
soundings indicate potential for small dewpoint depressions as
temperatures and dewpoints are both expected to be in the low to
mid 40s tonight. the best timeframe for dense fog will be
between 3 am to 9 am edt wednesday, with the lowest visibilities
at or just before daybreak. current nbm probabilities are about
20-30% for visibilities less than 3 miles while href guidance
suggests visibilities may go down to less than 1 mile especially
in nw ohio; given that there are still uncertainties and that
fog can be quite fickle to forecast, future shifts may need to
hoist an sps or even a dense fog advisory depending on how low
visibilities drop.
