Low rain chances return with a weak Wednesday disturbance. Near term until 6 pm this evening Only made cosmetic changes with the 10am update. Otherwise, dry weather and a clearing trend are expected today under building sfc high pressure and dry advection. Highs are expected to be near seasonal levels. Short term 6 pm this evening through Thursday night Dry weather and mostly clear skies should continue tonight as the high moves east. A weak upper shortwave trough could interact with daytime destabilization Wednesday, resulting in mainly isolated showers and thunderstorms. Model progged soundings indicate convective thresholds briefly being met, if at all. Kept coverage isolated due to this and lack of a significant trigger. Dry weather should return Wednesday night through Thursday night under building ridging and rising 500mb heights. Above average temperatures are expected through the period. Long term Friday through Monday Shower and thunderstorm chances return later Fri through part of the weekend as a trough across the midwest and canada approaches and

crosses the region. Models are trending drier Sunday as the trough shifts east and high pressure begins to build in. Ridging should maintain dry weather Monday. Above average temperatures should return to more seasonable levels Sunday and Monday. Aviation 18z Tuesday through Sunday Vfr conditions are forecast for the TAF period. Scattered to broken cumulus this afternoon will dissipate by evening, leaving a mostly clear sky overnight. Wind gusts out of the west of 20 to 25 knots this afternoon will diminish tonight. However, the wind is not expected to become calm, which will help to prevent fog formation tonight. A weak shortwave may combine with decent instability and a lake breeze boundary to generate scattered showers and storms starting around midday on Wednesday, mainly near and north of i-80 initially. Confidence is too low to mention in TAF at this time. Outlook No widespread ifr is forecast. Pbz watches warnings advisories Md... None. Oh... None. Pa... None. Wv... None.

I have no idea of they are useful or accurate, I leave that to the reader. 2) Articles others have written and submitted. If you have questions on these, please contact the author. 3) Articles that represent my personal opinions. These are intended to promote thought and for entertainment. These are not intended to be fact, they are my opinions. 4) Small programs that generate result presented on a web page. Like any computer program, these may and in some cases do have errors. Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors. Please verify all results. 5) Weather information is from numerious of sources and is presented automatically. It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
