Area forecast discussion, Oct 27, 10:42 PM EDT, 1 hour 19 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
1042 PM EDT MON OCT 27 2008
.SYNOPSIS...
A SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE
LOCAL AREA THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY. A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL
MOVE UP THE OHIO VALLEY WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY THEN A COLD
FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
THE CONVECTION FROM THE AFTERNOON IS DECREASING ALONG WITH THE
CLOUDS OVER NORTHWEST OHIO. THE NORTHWEST FLOW WILL BECOME
NORTHERLY OVERNIGHT AND AS THE AIRMASS GET COLDER THE RAIN SHOWERS
AT INLAND LOCATIONS WILL TURN TO SNOW SHOWERS AND THE SLEET AND
THUNDER CHANCES WILL ALSO DECREASE. MADE MINOR TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENTS.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
ABOVE FREEZING TEMPS ON TUE SHOULD CONTINUE TO LIMIT SNOW
ACCUMULATION EVEN THOUGH MORE OF THE PRECIP MAY OCCUR AS SNOW VERSUS
RAIN. TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MIDDAY WED LOOKS TO BE BEST TIME FRAME
FOR ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL AS AIRMASS COLDEST DURING THIS TIME FRAME
BOTH AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT. THIS COULD BE A SITUATION WITH 4
INCHES OR MORE AND THUS MAY REQUIRE SOME FORM OF A HEADLINE.
DRIER AIR AND WARM ADVECTION ALOFT SHOULD END THE LAKE EFFECT PRECIP
DOWN FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE SNOWBELT WED AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE MOVE ACROSS AREA WED NIGHT AND THU FOR
DRY WEATHER THROUGH THU NIGHT. NOTICEABLY WARMER TEMPS EXPECTED
THURSDAY AS FLOW SHIFT TO SSW BRINGING WARMER AIR INTO THE REGION.
WITH CLOUD COVER AND LOW SUN ANGLE WILL CONTINUE TO CUT GUIDANCE
HIGH TEMPS TUE AND WED.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE LONG TERM FORECAST BEGINS FRIDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE TO OUR
SOUTHEAST AND A WEAK SHORT WAVE RIDGE ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES.
BOTH THE OLD ECMWF AND 12Z GFS HAVE THIS PATTERN WITH 850MB TEMPS
BETWEEN 8 AND 10C ACROSS THE AREA. BOTH MODELS THEN HAVE A SIMILAR
EVOLUTION THROUGH THE WEEKEND SHOWING AN UPPER TROF DIGGING ACROSS
THE LAKES FORCING A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE AREA OVERNIGHT FRIDAY
NIGHT. SATURDAY AND SUNDAY HIGH PRESSURE THEN BUILDS ACROSS THE
GREAT LAKES AND SOUTHEASTERN CANADA. THE DETAILS HOWEVER SHOW
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE MODELS IN FRONTAL TIMING AND THE EXTENT AND
DEPTH OF THE COLD AIR THAT DROPS ACROSS THE AREA. THE ECMWF IS MUCH
MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH THE COLD AIR DROPPING -8C INTO THE AREA BY 00Z
SUNDAY. THIS IS DUE LARGELY TO THE SURFACE HIGH TAKING A MORE
SOUTHERLY TRACK ACROSS THE REGION VS THE MORE NORTHERN GFS TRACK.
FOR NOW WILL FOLLOW THE WARMER GFS POSITION AND TIMING. FOR NOW
WILL BRING IN LOW CHANCE POPS FOR THE COLD FRONT PASSAGE MOST PLACES
FRIDAY NIGHT. REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST SHOULD REMAIN DRY.
&&
.AVIATION /03Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
NORTHWEST FLOW AND WITH THE LAKE AND 850 MB TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE
NEAR 17C AND THE LAKE AND 500 MB TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE NEAR
50C...SOME ISOLATED THUNDER WILL OCCUR THROUGH THE
NIGHT...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE LAKE. SOME IMPULSES WILL BE MOVING
THROUGH AT TIMES. AS THE WINDS BECOME MORE NORTHERLY OVERNIGHT A BAND
SHOULD ESTABLISH FROM LAKE HURON INTO THE CLE AND CAK AREAS.
ELSEWHERE OVER NORTHWEST OHIO THE DIURNALLY DRIVEN SHOWERS ARE
DECREASING AND OVER NORTHWEST PA ONCE THE FLOW BECOMES NORTHERLY
THE SHOWERS SHOULD ALSO DECREASE ESPECIALLY NEAR THE LAKESHORE.
THE MODELS ARE SLOW TO COOL THINGS DOWN OVERNIGHT BUT HIGHER
TERRAIN LOCATIONS WILL EVENTUALLY SWITCH OVER TO ALL SNOW. ON
TUESDAY THE FLOW BECOMES NORTHWEST AND THAT WILL SHIFT THE BANDS
BUT WITH THE LAKE AND 850 MB TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE HIGH PLENTY OF
LAKE EFFECT RAIN SHOWERS. MAINLY VFR NORTHWEST OHIO AND MVFR
ELSEWHERE FOR THE TAF PERIOD WITH SOME IFR CONDITIONS IN HEAVIER
PRECIPITATION.
OUTLOOK...SNOW SHOWERS ESPECIALLY IN THE SNOWBELT TUESDAY EVENING
THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING WITH MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS. ELSEWHERE
MAINLY VFR. SURFACE RIDGING IS EXPECTED BY THURSDAY CONTINUING
INTO FRIDAY. THIS WILL BRING CONDITIONS BACK TO VFR. A FRONT WILL
MOVE INTO THE AREA LATE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY WITH MVFR
CONDITIONS IN RAIN SHOWERS AND IN CEILINGS AFTER FRONTAL PASSAGE.
&&
.MARINE...
WINDS SHIFTING TO THE NORTHWEST THIS EVENING AS THE TROUGH AS
MOVES THROUGH. UPDATED TO GALE WARNING FOR LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON
AND INTO THE NIGHT. THIS COORDINATES WITH THE CANADIANS.
ON TUESDAY AS THE EAST COAST LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TAKES
SHAPE...THE GRADIENT WILL INCREASE. WIND SPEEDS WILL REMAIN OUT OF
THE N/NW ON TUE AND GRADUALLY INCREASE OVER THE DAY. MODEL
ESPECIALLY THE GFS SUPPORT NEAR 35 KNOTS LATE IN THE AFTERNOON AND
INTO THE OVERNIGHT. I WILL KEEP THE SCA UP THROUGH TUESDAY AND
THEN THE GALE WARNING WILL KICK IN. THE WINDS WILL GRADUALLY
DECREASE BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THEN BECOME SOUTHWEST FOR THURSDAY
AND FRIDAY AND THEN NORTHWEST SATURDAY AFTER A FRONTAL PASSAGE...A
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED SATURDAY.
