yet another day where fog is the only main forecast concern. this
morning`s fog forecast is more challenging than yesterday because
winds have veered to a more southerly direction and we lost
good lake erie contribution. still, excellent radiational
cooling conditions exist with the loss of any upper level clouds
and some moisture appears to still be bleeding into northwest
oh from the lake. guidance continues to show a narrow swath of
dense fog developing along the maumee river with some
observational evidence starting to support this idea. confidence
in widespread dense fog is much lower this morning and for now
seems to be more of a localized, sps-level event. will continue
to monitor obs closely through the morning and consider a dense
fog advisory for the fort wayne to wauseon corridor if necessary.
lack of widespread fog and some light southerly flow/waa today
should push highs into the low 70s for most with some mid 70s
possible in the far sw. afternoon rh values drop to around 35
percent and dry fine fuels will continue to support some concern for
small field fires (limited by very light winds). winds veer even
more for monday morning and while some patchy fog may still be
possible given light winds, not expecting any widespread/dense fog
at this time, especially as crossover temps may be harder to exceed
for monday morning. a weak front washes out across our north on
monday and a brief return to cool ne flow arrives tue morning. this
will be another day to watch for possible fog development given ene
flow over the very warm lakes. light s/sw flow returns wed and thu
ahead of the next front and highs surge well into the 70s (possibly
near 80 far sw). this front also washes out across our north as
parent trough lifts into quebec and ridge holds firm over the
ohio valley. a few sprinkles are possible in our far nw on thu
but chances are low and impacts nil. sw flow quickly recharges
heading into halloween with highs well into the 70s and mainly
dry conditions. will have to watch the next decent system
arriving sat night into sunday for more widespread rain chances.
still plenty of time for subtle changes but for now best
chances for rain appear later saturday night into sunday.

the western periphery of an expansive low level anticyclone
across the eastern conus will maintain its influence across
northern indiana today. weak low level flow has veered a bit
over past 12 hours with a slow eastward migration to an upper
ridge axis across central conus, and this will result in
continued subtle veering through this period. in the meantime,
stagnant synoptic conditions will lead to another morning of fog
potential. veering of the flow will result in this threat not
being as widespread as yesterday morning, but tempo vsbys under
1 mile at kfwa in the 08z to 12z period still seems reasonable.
fog is expected to remain more patchy in nature in ksbn vicinity
with lower confidence at this terminal. weak south flow will
develop today with vfr conditions after 14z once any am fog
dissipates. the potential of fog appears somewhat lower tonight
with continued veering of low level wind profiles and less
influence from eastern great lakes.
