AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OHIO
253 PM EDT THU JUN 22 2006

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THRU SAT NIGHT)...
WILL BRIEF GIVEN AMOUNT OF WX GOING ON.  WILL BE EXTENDING FLASH
FLOOD WATCH UNTIL 6AM.  WILL BE GOING WITH HIGH POPS TONIGHT WITH
FRONT MOVING THRU.  BIG QUESTION IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN TOMORROW.  BOTH
GFS AND NAM SHOW FRONT STALLING JUST SOUTH OF FORECAST AREA WITH GFS
ACTUALLY DEVELOPING A WAVE AND TRACKING IT NE ALONG BOUNDARY.  WITH
LACK OF STRONG FLOW ALOFT TO PUSH BOUNDARY OUT OF AREA...THIS
STALLING OUT SEEMS REASONABLE.  WILL CONT WITH LIKELY POPS S
TOMORROW WITH CHC POPS SE HALF FRI NIGHT.  GUID TEMPS SEEM
REASONABLE.

&&

.LONG TERM (SUN THRU THU)...
MODELS IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT TODAY WITH LONG RANGE FORECAST.
APPEARS TO BE A FAIRLY QUIET PERIOD WITH SEASONABLE TEMPS MOST OF
PERIOD.  APPEARS SOME SORT OF NEARLY STATIONARY BOUNDARY WILL GET
SET UP ALONG THE EAST COAST DURING PERIOD.  THIS BOUNDARY WILL
STRETCH FROM NEW ENGLAND TO THE GULF COAST.  APPEARS THIS BOUNDARY
SHOULD BE WEST OF THE APPALACHIANS AT LEAST FOR MON AND TUE WHICH
WILL ALLOW FOR ENUF LOW LEVEL MOIST TO WARRANT AT LEAST CHC POPS
EASTERN PORTION OF FORECAST AREAS MON AND ENTIRE AREA OF TUE.  FRONT
WILL DRIFT BACK E OF WED SO THAT WILL LIMIT PRECIP CHANCES TO ONLY
ERN AREAS AGAIN.  HI PRES WILL BUILD FROM THE W ON THU CAUSING THE
FRONT TO FINALLY DISSIPATE AND RESULTING IN DRY WEATHER FOR ENTIRE
AREA.  AS STATE ABOVE...TEMPS WILL BE NEAR NORMAL DURING THE PERIOD.
&&

.AVIATION(18Z-18Z)...
LINE OF TSRA FROM EXTREME NW OH TO SW INDIANA MOVING EAST AT 35-40
KT...EXPECT INTO KCLE BY 5 PM EDT.  EXPECT POP CORN TSRA TO DEVELOP
AHEAD OF THE LINE.  SPC HAS THE FORECAST AREA IN A MODERATE RISK FOR
SEVERE TSRA.  BEST CHANCE OVER THE SRN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA
WITH BEST RISK FOR DOWNBURST WINDS.  EXPECT LINE TO CONTINUE TO MOVE
E AND NOT HAVE THE TRAINING LIKE LAST NIGHT.

FRONT CURRENTLY FROM TOL NE ACROSS CENTRAL LAKE ERIE WILL PUSH SOUTH
TONIGHT.  EXPECT FNT NR A YNG-MFD BY 12 FRIDAY MORNING.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF LAKE ERIE...
NORTH CENTRAL OHIO...NORTHEAST OHIO...NORTHWEST OHIO AND
NORTHWEST PENNSYLVANIA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TODAY AND TONIGHT
FOR THE ENTIRE AREA. THE MAIN THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL
BE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY TONIGHT AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH
THE AREA. DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND LARGE HAIL APPEAR TO BE THE
PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER THREAT BUT AN ISOLATED TORNADO IS ALSO
POSSIBLE.

ALSO A FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE AREA THROUGH
THIS EVENING. HEAVY RAINS YESTERDAY AND OVERNIGHT HAVE LEFT A HIGH
POTENTIAL FOR POSSIBLE FLOODING FROM THE ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS
EXPECTED TODAY AND TONIGHT. THE GROUND IS SATURATED AND MANY
STREAMS AND RIVERS ARE ALREADY RUNNING HIGH WITH A FEW EVEN
CURRENTLY IN FLOOD IN NORTHWEST AND NORTH CENTRAL OHIO.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAIN FROM SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE
A THREAT FOR LOCALIZED FLOODING. THE MAIN THREAT FRIDAY AND FRIDAY
NIGHT WILL TEND TO BE OVER THE INLAND COUNTIES AS MUCH OF THE
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY SHIFTS INLAND AWAY FROM THE LAKESHORE COUNTIES.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED LATER TODAY AND EARLY TONIGHT.
