The metropolitan area is actually Niles-Benton Harbor on most documents, but the airport is at Benton Harbor. How do I title these posts? This is a about as much anxiety as I can get for these forecast post titles.

At 853PM, ET, Benton Harbor was reporting a temperature of 67 degrees with overcast skies. Despite high pressure centered over the Great Lakes, a swath of low level clouds was evident on satellite, stretching from Minnesota to western Pennsylvania. The jet runs directly over the top this shield of low level moisture, and the combination of features suggests the clouds are going to stick for a little while.
The jet itself is ridging across the Great Lakes, and the surface map is representing this rather curiously. A surface low is staking a spot in the middle of the country, while the ridge in western Ontario is not motivated to move either. With the jet not expected to move measurably, the southwest flank of the ridge will erode, and the stability of the region will break down. Clouds will continue in the area, but particularly on Tuesday, some scattered showers are expected to mix in with them.

I know the clouds in Minnesota have really stymied temperatures, much more than forecast for the last couple of days. I’m surprised there is as much optimism as there is for Benton Harbor, further down stream.
