From the National Weather Service office in ILN, issued 7 hrs ago

What Has Changed

Added fog in for tonight. Lowered temperatures and added frost into portions of central Ohio for Wednesday night.

Key Messages

1) Fog will be possible across portions of the region overnight.

2) High pressure will persist over the region through the week and into the weekend, bringing dry and seasonable conditions.

Discussion

Key Message 1)

With flow off of the lake, there will be the potential for some stratus and fog across northern and northwestern portions of the region overnight and into the daytime morning hours on Wednesday. In addition there will be the potential for river valley fog as well.

Key Message 2)

Dry conditions are expected through the week. Highs are expected to generally be in the 60s and 70s with lows in the 30s and 40s. Some patchy frost will be possible across central Ohio Wednesday night and Friday night.

Aviation

Calm and clear conditions tonight could lead to some BR/FG formation prior to sunrise. Any visibility restrictions mix out during the morning hours. Light northerly winds develop by Wednesday afternoon.
