Tuesday will be the coolest day of the week owing to plentiful cloud cover and precipitation. Much more ensemble spread is exhibited by the latter half of the week with a developing trough to our west, but a dry period to close out the week with rain returning for the weekend looks more likely than not. && .AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... Light rain showers, increasing in coverage between 18z-22z, rising cig heights are expected through this evening. Intrusion of drier air as low pressure exits east will erode showers and cigs during the early evening hours, resulting in areawide VFR conditions. The combination of residual boundary layer moisture, some cig deck clearing, and light wind may promote fog formation during the pre-dawn hours Saturday morning. Highest probabilities are along the higher terrain east/southeast of KPIT where daytime showers will linger longest and drier air will be late on arrival (KMGW/KLBE/KDUJ). A cold front will approach from the NW at the end of the TAF period, producing a swath of light rain showers with low probability for thunder. .Outlook... Additional restrictions are likely in conjunction with the mentioned showers and low probability thunderstorms above. Scattered light rain showers will linger into Saturday night as the upper trough axis crosses. VFR returns Sunday and Monday under high pressure, before low pressure returns restriction and precipitation potential on Tuesday. && .PBZ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PA...None. OH...None.
