Area forecast discussion, Jun 13, 7:15 PM EDT, 3 hours 51 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH 715 PM EDT SUN JUN 13 2004 .DISCUSSION... UPDATED TO INCLUDE REST OF CWA IN SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 463 UNTIL MIDNIGHT. .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... CLOUDS GRADUALLY THINNING OUT FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA ALLOWING TEMPERATURES TO SOAR INTO THE LOWER 80S. A LINE OF SHOWERS OVER NORTHERN INDIANA MOVING EAST NORTHEAST WILL MOVE INTO NORTHWEST OHIO OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS WHILE ACTIVITY OVER KENTUCKY AND SOUTHERN INDIANA TRIES TO MOVE NORTHEAST TOWARD THE AREA AS WELL. DTX SOUNDING SHOWS A FAIRLY STRONG CAP OVER THE AREA THIS MORNING AND IS POSSIBLY THE REASON ACTIVITY OVER INDIANA HAS BEEN SLOW TO DEVELOP. FORECAST AREA REMAINS UNDER A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE WITH A MODERATE RISK JUST NORTH OF THE OHIO BORDER IN MICHIGAN. MORNING SOUNDING FROM DTX INDICATES A VEERING PROFILE ALONG WITH SPEED SHEAR AND WILL HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON STORMS AS THEY MOVE INTO THE AREA. LATEST RUC INDICATES A -2 LI OVER THE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON BUT COULD DROP EVEN FURTHER WITH THE INCREASING TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. DEW POINTS ARE WELL INTO THE UPPER 60S MOST AREAS WITH SOME LOWER 70S IN THE EXTREME WEST. THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS STARTING TO PICK UP IN INTENSITY OVER INDIANA AS CAP IS STARTING TO BREAK. ATMOSPHERE WILL CONTINUE TO DESTABILIZE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER INDIANA HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME SEVERE AS THEY MOVE THROUGH NORTHWEST OHIO. I DECIDED TO GO WITH LIKELY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING DUE TO THE ACTIVITY HEADED TOWARD THE FORECAST AREA. IT APPEARS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL QUIET DOWN LATE THIS EVENING AS MOISTURE AND PVA MOVE NORTHEAST OF THE AREA. SO I WILL DROP MENTION OF PRECIPITATION AFTER MIDNIGHT. TOMORROW WILL BE QUITE UNSTABLE ACROSS THE AREA. GUIDANCE TEMPERATURES GOING WITH MIDDLE TO UPPER 80S ACROSS THE AREA FOR HIGHS BUT WILL SHADE BACK A LITTLE BIT TO AT LEAST MIDDLE 80S IN THE WEST AND LOWER TO MIDDLE 80S EAST. VIGOROUS VORT MAX WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES WHILE A SURFACE COLD FRONT AFFECTS THE AREA DURING THE EVENING HOURS MONDAY. WILL TAKE THE CONSERVATIVE APPROACH AND MENTION A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MONDAY. CONCERN IS TIMING OF THE FRONT AND UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE IF IT DECIDES TO HOLD OFF UNTIL MONDAY EVENING. AREA IS OUTLOOKED FOR SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. ONCE FRONT CLEARS THE AREA MONDAY EVENING...AT LEAST ONE DAY OF DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED FOR TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE AREA. EXPECTING ANOTHER SYSTEM TO RAPIDLY DIVE DOWN INTO THE FORECAST AREA WEDNESDAY MORNING BRINGING ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE AREA. ONCE WEATHER SYSTEM ON WEDNESDAY MOVES EAST OF THE AREA...ANOTHER AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THURSDAY FOR MORE DRY WEATHER UNTIL YET ANOTHER SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY THEN EXITING SLOWLY BY SUNDAY. TEMPERATURES IN THE EXTENDED PERIODS WILL BE CLOSE TO GUIDANCE TEMPERATURES. SEE NO STRONG NEED TO DEVIATE MUCH FROM GUIDANCE AT THIS POINT. && .CLE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM EDT FOR LUCAS...WOOD...HANCOCK...SANDUSKY...SENECA...WYANDOT...OTTAWA... AND CRAWFORD COUNTIES. PA...NONE. && DJB
