.KEY MESSAGES...
1) An upper level trough will settle into the Great Lakes region
late this week and over the weekend. This will lead to cooler yet
near normal temperatures and occasional chances for showers.

2) Temperatures will make a return to above normal for the new work
week, though only by about 5-8 degrees on highs and less than 5
degrees on lows.

KEY MESSAGE 1)
A mid level trough will cross east through the Ohio Valley Thursday
night, bringing a few showers to areas north of the I-70 corridor.
Afterwards, a closed low will track east through the lower Great
Lakes and bring in colder air aloft in its wake.

A secondary frontal passage will also usher in a somewhat cooler
airmass heading into the weekend. Daytime highs will only be in the
50s Saturday and Sunday.

KEY MESSAGE 2)
A dry forecast is expected after Friday through the end of the
period. Starting Monday, temperatures will modify a little each day,
generally in the low to mid 60s for highs and mid-upper 30s for lows.
