Key Messages:

* Gusty north-northeast winds Tuesday with highs near normal inland, though only upper 30s near the lake
Low pressure of 1009 mb is over the far southern forecast area as of 230 PM. To the immediate northeast of the low, scattered showers forced in the mid-levels (700 mb frontogenesis) will push east of the area late Monday afternoon. A few showers may develop immediately ahead of the low in the far southeast where there has been some cumulus, but T-Td spreads around 20F should limit mixed-layer CAPE for thunder chances. To the north, trends in sky cover this afternoon have been challenging to forecast, with a narrow stretch of clearing behind the low resulting in a quick temperature jump upwards. The incoming cold advection, however, is accompanied by solid stratus, and accordingly temperatures are dropping across northern locations and that will spread southeast into early evening. North winds will increase within the pressure gradient with gusts of 20-25 mph. Lows will not be that cool due to stratus, and in fact will be above normal with 30-35F forecast.
A more anticyclonic flow pattern will prevail on Tuesday with a wind bending more northeast. Speeds will ease a tad throughout the day, but with the flow being off the lake it will keep lake- adjacent locales in the 30s while inland realizes lower to mid 40s. Guidance is in solid agreement on clearing spreading southwest during the late morning into early afternoon, and upstream trends over Ontario (source region for Monday afternoon) would support that.

.SHORT TERM… Issued at 132 AM CST Tue Mar 7 2023
Through Wednesday…
No significant weather expected in the short term. Seasonably cool temperatures are expected the next 36 hours, though winds off the lake should keep areas near and just inland from the lake should be a few degrees colder today and tomorrow.
Guidance continues to show skies clearing out this morning. Not unusual for guidance to be too fast/aggressive with clearing, but in this case GOES Nighttime Fog RGB does show clearing line marching steadily south toward the area, so generally followed guidance with skies clearing out this morning. Clearing should be somewhat short lived with extensive mid-high level cloudiness expected to overspread the area again this evening.
