Cold Front Brings Strong Winds Today
Gale Warning on Lake Erie
Active Weather Pattern
A cold front will cross the area from northwest to southeast this afternoon. Southwest winds will increase starting this morning ahead of the front, with the strongest winds expected along and just behind the front between approximately 3 PM and 8 PM. The strongest winds are expected near the eastern lakeshore, where peak gusts to 50 MPH are likely. Elsewhere, scattered showers will likely accompany the front across Northeast OH and Northwest PA. Some of these showers may locally enhance wind gusts up to 50 MPH farther inland as they push through.
Southwest winds will pick up across Lake Erie ahead of a cold front this morning, then shift northwest this afternoon as the front moves across the lake. A Gale Warning is in effect east of Vermilion, with Small Craft Advisories in effect for the western basin. The strongest winds and largest waves are expected this afternoon and evening, with improvement overnight into Thursday.
Active weather continues over the next several days. After today's cold front, the next cold front brings rainy and breezy conditions for Friday. The next cold front and a wave of low pressure will move through Saturday night and Sunday, bringing rain followed by the coldest air of the season thus far into the start of next week.
