.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1)
A weak cold front will cross the region early this morning as a
closed low pressure center tracks east through the lower Great Lakes
on today and Saturday. In its wake, temperatures over the Ohio
Valley will drop under northwest flow. Overnight temperatures will
drop to the low to mid 30s tonight, and a frost advisory has been
issued. Tomorrow night will see readings dropping a little more,
solidly in the lower 30s with some upper 20s possible.


KEY MESSAGE 2)
A dry forecast is expected after Friday through most of next week as
northwest flow aloft becomes more westerly. Starting Monday,
temperatures will modify a little each day, generally in the low to
mid 60s for highs and mid-upper 30s for lows. For Thursday and
Friday, a l/w trough will cross the region, bringing temperatures
back down to the 50s for highs and lower 30s for lows.
