AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
118 PM EDT SUN SEP 14 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT LOCATED FROM MICHIGAN TO MISSOURI WILL MOVE EASTWARD
ACROSS NORTHERN OHIO THROUGH MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. THE REMNANTS OF
HURRICANE IKE WILL MOVE ALONG THIS FRONT AND RACE NORTH ACROSS
LAKE ERIE THIS EVENING. DRIER AIR WILL FILTER INTO NORTHERN OHIO
ON MONDAY AND REMAIN THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
VERY WARM AND UNSEASONABLY HUMID. ILN 12Z SOUNDING POSTED A FCST MAX
TEMP OF 92F AND GUIDANCE REMAINS VERY WARM SO WILL INCREASE MAX
TEMP FORECAST A CATEGORY. WIND FIELD AROUND IKE HAS MAINTAINED
AROUND 40 KNOTS. WITH FORWARD SPEED OF IKE INCREASING TO ALMOST 40
MPH WIND GUSTS OF 40 MPH ALMOST A CERTAINTY WEST OF I-71 AND NEAR
THE LAKESHORE BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING. LITTLE
DIRECTIONAL SHEAR AND THE WARM WEATHER WILL ALLOW FOR DECENT
MIXING OVER THE LAND (NOT SO MUCH OVER THE LAKE). WIND ALOFT STILL
PROGGED TO 50 TO 55 KNOTS BY EARLY TONIGHT AND CONCERNED THAT
CONVECTIVE SHOWERS/STORMS THAT DEVELOP WILL BRING DOWN ADDITIONAL
WIND SO POSTED A WIND ADVISORY. MOST OF THE AREA SHOULD NOT SEE
WIND WARNING CRITERIA AND WE WOULD LIKELY POST SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
WARNINGS FOR THE STRONGER CELLS IF NECESSARY.

WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL...ESPECIALLY
NW OHIO...BUT WITH THE TRACK OF IKE TO THE WEST OF THE AREA THE
HEAVIEST RAIN SHOULD ALSO STAY WEST AND NORTH OF THE AREA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
THE STRONGEST THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BE MOVING INTO THE EASTERN HALF
OF NORTHERN OHIO DURING THE EVENING AND EAST OF ERIE PA BEFORE MIDNIGHT.
STILL WILL SEE SOME LINGERING SHOWERS IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT THAT
COULD REMAIN INTO MONDAY EVENING FOR LOCATIONS NEAR AND EAST OF
CLEVELAND. OTHERWISE EXPECT TO SEE COOLER CONDITIONS ON MONDAY
WITH CLOUDS ONLY GRADUALLY DECREASING THROUGH THE DAY. HIGHS ARE
EXPECTED TO BE IN THE 60S ACROSS THE REGION.

BY TUESDAY SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE IN CONTROL WITH GRADUAL
WARMING INTO THURSDAY. HIGHS SHOULD BE VERY CLOSE TO SEASONAL
LEVELS. THERE IS A PIECE OF SHORTWAVE ENERGY THAT WILL PASS
ACROSS ONTARIO ON WEDNESDAY BUT BELIEVE ITS INFLUENCE WILL REMAIN
NORTH OF THE LAKE. HOWEVER SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN
FROM CANADA IN THE WAKE OF THIS SHORTWAVE FOR THURSDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE IS STILL EXPECTED TO EXTEND THROUGH NEW
ENGLAND BACK INTO THE LOWER LAKES AND UPPER OHIO VALLEY FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY. FAIR AND MILD WEATHER SHOULD CONTINUE. WENT CLOSE TO
MOSGUID TEMPS WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWS 70S FAR EAST TO THE UPPER 70S
WEST. COOL FRIDAY NIGHT WITH LOWS IN THE UPPER 40S AND LOWER 50S.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
IKE REMNANTS EXPECTED TO MOVE RATHER QUICKLY TO THE NORTHEAST AND
IS EXPECTED TO BE JUST NORTH OF LAKE ERIE BY 00Z THIS EVENING.
THIS MEANS WINDS WILL SHIFT QUICKLY TO WESTERLY THIS AFTERNOON AT
TOLEDO AND FINDLAY AND DURING THE NIGHT FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS
THE REST OF THE FORECAST AREA.

BIG ISSUE WITH THIS SYSTEM IS THE WIND SPEEDS. WINDS GUSTING INTO
THE 30S ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE STORM WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE INTO
THE REGION AND WILL RAMP UP WINDS OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS.
WINDS WILL THEN QUICKLY DIMINISH OVERNIGHT AS THE LOW PULLS OUT TO
THE NORTHEAST.

OTHER ISSUE TO DEAL WITH IS THE RELATIVELY SHARP CUTOFF WITH THE
PRECIPITATION. BULK OF PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO MOVE UP INTO
MICHIGAN WITH EASTERN EXTENT CLIPPING FINDLAY AND TOLEDO. I AM
GOING TO KEEP THE REST OF THE FORECAST AREA DRY THROUGH THE NEXT
24 HOURS. A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS COULD GET INTO MANSFIELD AND
CLEVELAND BUT THIS SHOULD BE VERY BRIEF.

OUTLOOK...MVFR CIGS MAY LINGER THROUGH MUCH OF MONDAY AT CLEVELAND
AND ERIE WHILE VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED ELSEWHERE. HIGH PRESSURE
AND VFR CONDITIONS WILL BEGIN TO BUILD IN FOR TUESDAY INTO
THURSDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
REMNANTS OF IKE MOVE NORTHEAST PASSING JUST NORTH OF THE LAKE EARLY
TONIGHT. WAVES WILL INCREASE TO 3 TO 5 FEET LATER TODAY AND TO 6 TO
10 FEET TONIGHT AND EARLY MONDAY. WENT WITH SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR
THE NEARSHORE WATERS FOR LATER THIS AFTERNOON INTO MONDAY MORNING.
KEPT WINDS JUST BELOW GALE FORCE BUT POSSIBLE THAT WINDS COULD REACH
GALES FOR PERIOD THIS EVENING OR EARLY TONIGHT. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO
THE WEST AND NORTHWEST TONIGHT DIMINISHING LATE TONIGHT AND MONDAY
AS THE LOW MOVES WELL TO THE NORTHEAST. SCA LIKELY CONTINUING IN
CENTRAL AND EASTERN AREAS THROUGH MONDAY MORNING POSSIBLY HAVING TO
BE EXTENDED THROUGHOUT THE DAY. HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL THEN EXTEND
OVER THE LAKE MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY GENERALLY PROVIDING
LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS. A WEAK COLD FRONT MAY DROP SOUTH ACROSS
THE LAKE WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH HIGH PRESSURE QUICKLY BUILDING IN ON
THURSDAY. NE FLOW ON THURSDAY WILL LIKELY MAKE LAKE CHOPPY FOR THE
NEARSHORE WATERS.
