.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
No changes.

&&

.KEY MESSAGES...
1) There will be an extended dry stretch with warming temperatures.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1)
Surface high pressure centered over the Great Lakes will move
southeast through the weekend. Southerly flow will then become
established early next week. Meanwhile, heights will be rising as mid
level high pressure slowly translates east. This will result in dry
conditions through at least Tuesday. Today is forecast to be the
coolest day with temperatures slightly below normal. There will then
be a warming trend with increasing dew points. Highs will get back
into the lower 90s next week and heat indices will rise into the mid
to upper 90s.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Large area of surface high pressure will remain centered to our east
thru the TAF period. VFR cumulus clouds will continue to dissipate
with the loss of heating - leading to clear skies and light winds.
Development of valley fog is likely tonight with IFR conditions
forecast at KLUK and MVFR at KILN. Expect VFR cumulus cloud
development Saturday with less coverage than today.

North-northeast winds will become light overnight and veer to the
southeast at less than 10 kts Saturday.

OUTLOOK...No significant weather expected.

&&

.ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
OH...None.
KY...None.
IN...None.
