Weekend high pressure exits to the east. A warm front crossing the Ohio Valley today brings abundant cloud cover & warm, southwesterly air flow today. http://aviationweather.gov/adds/satellite/displaySat.php?region=DTW&isingle=single&itype=vis Cold front will skirt the mountains, bringing scattered showers & isolated thunder tonight through Tuesday. Stronger low pressure to arrive Wednesday/Thursday. Rainfall amounts just over an inch are expected across much of the forecast area during the week...cooler air timed for the first weekend of fall. 

     Heavy cloud cover looms to our west while weakening warm front triggers a few showers across KY & OH. http://weather.unisys.com/radar/rad_us_loop.gif Despite the clouds, highs will peak near 70 thanks to warm air mixing. We'll manage to keep dry through much of the early afternoon. But scattered rain showers are expected to ramp up this evening ahead of a weakening cold front. Isolated thunder is also possible, for mainly our western zones. Lows dip into the upper 50s/low 60s overnight.

     We'll keep generally cloudy skies & scattered rain showers during the day Tuesday. Weakening cool front loose steam & dry out as it spread eastbound, leaving a mainly dry forecast under partly cloudy skies towards evening. Highs will reach the upper 60s. Lows will be in the mid to upper 50s.


     Keep the rain gear handy! Closed upper level low pressure system will cross the Great Lakes area by Wednesday. This will keep the threat for wrap around rain showers and unsettled weather for our area through the second half of the work week. Lots of warm moist air will be lifting into the region ahead of the front. So we'll keep temps on the warm side through this period as well. Then cooler air on the backside of the front will fill into our area this weekend. Model guidance is still mulling over weather rain will affect our weekend forecast. For now will keep things cool & dry for kickoff at Milan stadium against LSU this Saturday night!
