Area forecast discussion, Jul 14, 3:40 PM EDT, 11 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OHIO 340 PM EDT FRI JUL 14 2006 .SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH SAT AFTERNOON)... CONVECTION IS DEVELOPING AND MOVING INTO THE REGION AT THIS TIME. CAPE HAS RISEN TO AROUND 3000 J/KG OVER THE WESTERN THIRD WITH ABOUT 20 KNOTS OF 0-6KM SHEAR O-1KM SHEAR IS RATHER WEAK. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWES THE REGION IN A MOISTURE PLUME OVER THE AREA SO HEAVY RAIN IS ONCE AGAIN A THREAT WITH THE DEVELOPING STORMS WITH FLASH FLOODING A POSSIBILITY. SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL MAY BE CONFINED TO WET MICRO DOWNBURT WINDS. AREA COVERAGE OF THE HEAVY RAIN MAY BE CONFINED TO THE FAR NORTHWEST NEAR TOL SO WL HOLD OFF ON A FF WATCH. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD DIMINISH AROUND MIDNIGHT AS THE MCV MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE VORTICITY MOVES THROUGH THE REGION. HEIGHTS WILL THEN BEGIN TO RISE SO STABLE WARMING CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP AND CONTINUE INTO SUNDAY. GUIDANCE TEMPS LOOK REASONABLE WITH MINOR CHANGES. POPS FOR TONIGHT WILL BE CUT SLIGHTLY. && .LONG TERM (MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)... LITTLE CHANGE TO EXTENDED FROM YESTERDAYS THINKING AS HOT HUMID CONDITONS ARE EXPECTED TO PERSIST THROUGH MOST OF THE WEEK AS RIDGE PERSIST ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN STATES WITH WESTERLIES CONFINED TO THE NORTHERN TIER OF STATES. THE HOTEST TEMPERATURES OF THE SUMMER SO FAR ARE EXPECTED SUNDAY AND MONDAY ACROSS THE REGION WITH TEMPS WELL INTO THE 90S ESPECIALLY WEST OF CLE. A LAKE BREEZE MAY KEEP THE IMMEDIATE LAKE SHORE IN THE UPPER 80S BUT THE REMAINDER OF THE REGION WILL FEEL THE HEAT. A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY MAY REACH SOUTH ENOUGH TO COOL THE REGION SLIGHTLY ON WED BUT LIFT NORTH ON THURSDAY. A MORE SIGNIFICANT BOUNDARY MAY CROSS THE REGION ON FRIDAY AND BRING SOME COOLING. THE ECMWF AND THE GFS BEGIN TO DIVERGE ABOUT MIDWEEK SO THE DETAILS ARE UNCERTAIN. WITH HIGH CAPE ENVIRONMENT ALONG WITH INCREASE WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK FAST MOVING ORGANIZED THUNDERSTORM OUTBREAKS ARE POSSIBLE. && .AVIATION(18Z-18Z)... SOME POP UP STORMS ARE TRYING TO DEVELOP...BUT THERE IS STILL A WEAK CAP ACROSS THE REGION WHICH IS KEEPING THE STORMS FROM BECOMING TOO WIDESPREAD. THE LIFTED CONDENSATION LEVEL IS VERY LOW TODAY (<2500 FT)...WHICH IS CAUSING THE CLOUD BASES TODAY TO BE AROUND 2500 FT. CANNNOT RULE OUT SOME MVFR CIGS THIS AFTN...BUT IN GENERAL AM THINKING THAT CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN VFR AHD OF THE STORMS OVER INDIANA. AM THINKING THAT THE MAIN ACTION WILL BE FROM THE MCV OVR NRN INDIANA. EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY TO MOVE EAST AND BUILD SOUTHWARD TOWARD THE BETTER INSTABILITY. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD MOVE THRU THE REGION LATER THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT. WL BRING ALL SITES TO IFR WITH TSRA AS THE STORMS MOVE THRU. DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO BRING ANY POP UP STORMS INTO THE AREA TERMINALS EARLIER...BUT THIS WILL HAVE TO BE WATCHED. DRYING SHOULD MOVE INTO THE AREA SATURDAY MORNING BRINGING CONDITIONS BACK TO VFR. .CLE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... .OH...NONE. .PA...NONE. && SHORT TERM...REL LONG TERM...REL AVIATION...MRD
