DISCUSSION...

A blocking pattern will result in surface high pressure and ridging being entrenched for most of this week across the Great Lakes yielding quiet weather conditions.

Surface high pressure slides into Quebec with a light east- southeasterly wind component prevailing into tonight. A similar set up tonight compared to last night with favorable radiational cooling conditions. The lingering lake moisture and a little more notable moisture influx off Lake Erie should bring potential again for fog development tonight. It is difficult to pin down where exactly greater coverage of patchy dense fog may develop, but models suggest greater potential exists for a broader area across southeast Michigan to be impacted by some coverage of fog by tomorrow morning.

No major swings in the thermal profiles for the week with persistence of a warmer airmass that brings temperatures that are a few degrees above climatological norms. Afternoon highs will be mainly in the 60s with overnight lows ranging from the mid-upper 30s to mid 40s.

The northern stream across central Canada will send a front into the region that will weaken and stall out as it moves into the Great Lakes tomorrow while longwave ridge amplification ramps back up ensuring. Lack of any deeper moisture will allow dry and around or slightly above normal warmth into the weekend. High pressure centered over eastern Canada will offer potential for slightly cooler temperatures Friday down to around 60 with the northerly flow becoming established for the day. Temperatures quickly recover as thermal ridge builds back into the Great Lakes for the weekend. The next indication of a pattern change is next week as long range ensemble members point toward a stronger Canadian wave that will break down this blocking pattern and open up the door to our next chance a precipitation and cooler temperatures.
