Area forecast discussion, Jun 13, 3:21 PM EDT, 1 hour 52 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
321 PM EDT WED JUN 13 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES WILL DRIFT
SLOWLY WESTWARD INTO FRIDAY. A SERIES OF WEAK UPPER DISTURBANCES
WILL PRODUCE SCATTERED SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS GENERALLY EAST OF
INTERSTATE I-71 DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 9 PM THIS EVENING/...

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON ALONG AND
SOUTH OF THE LAKE BREEZE OVER NW PA AND NOW INTO EASTERN OHIO
WHERE INSTABILITY HAS INCREASED TO OVER 2000 J/KG WITH 0-6 KM WIND
SHEAR AROUND 25 KNOTS. EXPECTED THIS ACTIVITY TO CONTINUE UNTIL
6-7 PM WITH CONTINUED MOVEMENT TO THE SOUTHWEST INTO OHIO WITH
LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS THE MAIN THREAT AS FAR WEST AS
INTERSTATE 77. ACTIVITY SHOULD DIMINISH QUICKLY TOWARD SUNSET. T

&&

.SHORT TERM /9 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...

SLOW RETROGRESSION OF THE UPPER PATTERN IS EXPECTED DURING THE
PERIOD WITH COOLER AIR SPREADING WEST INTO THE OHIO VALLEY AND
LAKE ERIE AREA. AFTERNOON HEATING MAY STILL BE ENOUGH TO PRODUCE
WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY AFTERNOON
ALONG AND SOUTH OF WHERE THE LAKE BREEZE IS LOCATED ABOUT MID
AFTERNOON. GFS AND NAM ARE RATHER SIMILAR DURING THIS PERIOD WITH
SLOWLY BACKING THE UPPER LOW WESTWARD.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

GFS AND ECMWF ARE RATHER SIMILAR DURING THIS PERIOD WHICH
INCREASES CONFIDENCE TO THE FORECAST. BOTH MODELS BRING A WEAK
FRONT SOUTH INTO THE AREA EARLY SUNDAY AND THEN NORTHEAST OF THE
REGION SUNDAY NIGHT AS A WARM FRONT. THE REGION WILL BE IN THE
WARM SECTOR MONDAY WITH A COLD FRONT EXPECTED ON TUESDAY. FAIR
WEATHER IS EXPECT WEDNESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
UPPER DISTURBANCE MOVING FROM NE TO SW FROM THE BUF/ROCHESTER AREA
FOR THIS AFTERNOON. THIS MAY SPARK A FEW SHRA/TS SOUTH OF THE LAKE
BREEZE BOUNDARY FROM SOUTH OF ERIE TO MFD AND POINTS SE. ANY
ACTIVITY WOULD BE HARD PRESSED TO MAKE IT MUCH FURTHER WEST. AREA
IS UNDER A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE FROM SPC. THEREFORE HAVE
VCTS/TEMPOS AT YNG/CAK.

ANOTHER WEAK DISTURBANCE TRACKS AGAIN FROM THE NE TO THE SW ACROSS
THE AREA THURSDAY WITH A SURFACE INVERTED TROUGH. PRECIP CHANCES
AGAIN LOOK SLIM/SMALL WITH THIS FEATURE.

RIDGING WORKS IN FOR FRIDAY/SATURDAY AS BLOCKING PATTERN EVER SO
SLOWLY EVOLVES. WEAK FRONT SINKS SOUTH...NOW LATE IN THE WEEKEND.
WITH BLOCKING PATTERN...WOULD EXPECT THIS FEATURE TO SLOW.

&&

.MARINE...
HIGH PRES OVER THE GREAT LAKES WILL SHIFT TO THE ATLANTIC COAST BY
EARLY FRIDAY AND THEN MOVE LITTLE THRU THE WEEKEND. A RIDGE FROM
THE HIGH WILL LINGER OVER LAKE ERIE THRU THE PERIOD WITH
RESULTING FLOW BEING LIGHT AND VARIABLE. ONSHORE FLOW LIKELY
DURING THE AFT HOURS THRU THE END OF THE PERIOD IN THE NEARSHORE
WATERS. N TO NE FLOW WILL PERSIST IN THE OPEN WATERS THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS WITH LIGHT AND VARIABLE FLOW EXPECTED ON FRIDAY AND
FOR THE WEEKEND. WAVES WILL BE MINIMAL. PRECIP CHANCES WILL BE
MINIMAL WITH BEST CHCS IN THE E.
