AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
905 AM EDT MON SEP 15 2008
.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OVER SOUTHERN QUEBEC HAD A TROUGH EXTENDING BACK
THROUGH THE SOUTHERN LAKES. THE LOW WILL MOVE OFF THE ATLANTIC COAST
WHILE THE TROUGH WILL ROTATE SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA TODAY. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST AND LINGER OVER THE
AREA INTO WEDNESDAY. HOWEVER...COLD AIR ALOFT AND LAKE ERIES
RELATIVELY WARM WATERS MAY COMBINE TO CAUSE SOME SHOWERS OVER THE
LAKE AND OVER INLAND AREAS CLOSE TO THE LAKE TONIGHT AND TUESDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
WEAK SURFACE AND UPPER TROFFINESS WILL WORK TO HELP KEEP THE LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE OVER THE AREA THE REST OF TODAY. THERE WILL BE SOME
BREAKS IN CLOUDS AT TIMES BUT IN GENERAL EXPECT MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES
TO PREVAIL. NUISANCE SHOWERS WILL LIKELY PERSIST FOR MUCH OF THE
DAY NE OF A LINE FROM ABOUT PORT CLINTON TO MANSFIELD TO
MILLERSBURG. CLOUD AND COLD ADVECTION SHOULD LIMIT TEMP RISE TO
ABOUT 5 DEGREE MORE TODAY.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS BUILDING IN AT THE SURFACE TONIGHT. HOWEVER
A STRONG S/W ALOFT WILL ROTATE THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT AND EARLY
TUESDAY. COLD AIR MOVING IN ALOFT WILL PRODUCE INSTABILITY
ESPECIALLY OVER THE WARMER WATERS OF LAKE ERIE. THESE FEATURES
WILL PRODUCE A CHANCE OF SHOWERS TONIGHT AND TUESDAY MAINLY DURING
THE MORNING. WILL KEEP THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS OVER THE LAKE AND
AREAS CLOSE TO THE LAKE FROM N-CENTRAL OHIO THROUGH NORTHEAST
PENNSYLVANIA. MAY NEED TO EXPAND THE AREA OF SHOWERS FOR TONIGHT
AND TUESDAY IF ENOUGH MOISTURE LINGERS BEFORE THE HIGH PRESSURE
TAKES OVER. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FOR TUESDAY NIGHT INTO
WEDNESDAY. THEN WEAK COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE
AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT. BELIEVE AIRMASS WILL STILL BE TOO DRY FOR
SHOWERS. THEN MORE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN TO CONTINUE WITH FAIR
WEATHER FOR THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
MODELS INDICATING SOME SIMILARITY WITH THE HANDLING OF A WAVE
THAT WILL PASS TO THE NORTH OF THE REGION FOR THE WEEKEND. AT HIS
TIME IT APPEARS THAT THE WEAK FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE WAVE WILL
REMAIN NORTH OF THE LAKE WITH RAIN CHANCES MINIMAL AT BEST. HAVE
ONLY SLIGHT CHANCES IN THE GRIDS AND THIS MAY BE OVERDONE.
TEMPERATURES FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY WILL BE ABOVE SEASONAL
AVERAGES THAT ARE IN THE LOWER 70S.
&&
.AVIATION /13Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SHOWERS CONTINUE TO FLOW OFF OF LAKE ERIE INTO THE THE VICINITY OF
SEVERAL TAFS FROM CLE TO CAK AND EASTWARD. EXPECT TO SEE MVFR
CONDITIONS WITH BRIEF IFR CONDITIONS IN THE SHOWERS THAT PASS OVER
THE EASTERN TAF SITES. TOL AND FDY WILL SEE A BRIEF PERIOD OF VFR
BUT BELIEVE IT WILL FILL BACK IN AS WINDS SHIFT AROUND TO THE
NORTHWEST. CEILINGS WILL LIFT DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AWAY FROM
THE LAKE SHOWERS. ANOTHER TROUGH WILL ROTATE THROUGH THE MIDDLE
LEVEL FLOW AND MAY BRING ADDITIONAL SHOWERS TO MUCH OF NORTHERN
OHIO TONIGHT AS NORTHWEST FLOW OVER LAKE ERIE CONTINUES.
OUTLOOK...HIGH PRESSURE AND VFR CONDITIONS WILL BEGIN TO BUILD IN
FOR TUESDAY AND CONTINUE INTO FRIDAY. A WEAK COLD FRONT MAY
APPROACH THE REGION ON WEDNESDAY.
&&
.MARINE...
IKE HAS MOVED WELL EAST OF LAKE ERIE BUT HAS LEFT THE LAKE IN A VERY
DISTURBED STATE. STRONG WINDS HAVE PUSHED WATERS INTO THE EASTERN
END OF THE LAKE WITH LOW WATER LEVELS OBSERVED AT TOLEDO.
OBSERVATIONS ARE BEGINNING TO INDICATE THAT THE WATER LEVELS ARE
STARTING BACK UP AND IS ALSO INDICATED IN THE GLERL WATER LEVEL
FORECASTS TO IMPROVE. WILL CONTINUE THE LOW WATER ADVISORY THROUGH 9
AM.
OTHERWISE IT LOOKS LIKE WAVES WILL BE SLOW TO DECREASE ACROSS THE
EASTERN END OF THE LAKE WITH WINDS REMAINING WEST SHIFTING TO
NORTHWEST THROUGH THE MORNING. THE FETCH ACROSS THE LAKE WILL
SUPPORT LARGER WAVES FOR THE EASTERN HALF OF THE LAKE FROM
VERMILION TO RIPLEY THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY. SHOULD SEE SLOW
IMPROVEMENT INTO THE EVENING.
HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD THEN CONTINUE TO BUILD OVER THE LAKE FOR
TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY WITH 1 TO 3 FOOT WAVES ANTICIPATED. THIS HIGH
PRESSURE WILL REMAIN IN CONTROL THROUGH WEDNESDAY BEFORE A STRONGER
HIGH BUILDS OVER LAKE ERIE BEHIND A WEAK COLD FRONT BY FRIDAY.
