AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
833 PM EST FRI NOV 14 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT ACROSS SOUTHERN MICHIGAN AND NORTHERN INDIANA WILL
MOVE THROUGH THE AREA OVERNIGHT. A SECOND COLD FRONT WILL QUICKLY
FOLLOW QUICKLY USHERING IN MUCH COLDER AIR FOR THE WEEKEND. LATE
SUNDAY...WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE SOUTH AHEAD OF
ANOTHER LOW THAT WILL AFFECT THE AREA ON MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
RAIN ACROSS THE WESTERN COUNTIES AT THIS TIME WITH PARTLY CLOUDY
SKIES EAST. RADAR SHOWS A SMALL BREAK IN THE RAIN MOVING INTO THE
AREA FROM THE SOUTHWEST ALTHOUGH A LARGE SCALE LOOK AT THE RADAR
SHOWS MORE RAIN ON THE WAY. FOR THE WEST TONIGHT WILL JUST GO WITH
OCCASIONAL RAIN. CENTRAL AND EASTERN COUNTIES WILL NEED TO HAVE A
TREND FOR THE RAIN...AND IN THE EAST RAIN AND CLOUDS. WILL BEGIN
THE EASTERN COUNTIES WITH A MENTION OF PARTLY CLOUDY EARLY WITH
RAIN DEVELOPING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
BY 12Z SATURDAY THE SECOND COLD FRONT WILL BE BISECTING OHIO
NE/SW WITH MODERATE COLD ADVECTION ON TAP FOR MUCH OF THE AREA.
WELL HAVE NON DIURNAL TEMP TREND FOR THE DAY. FOLLOWING THE
NAM HOWEVER...THE COLD ADVECTION WILL NOT BE AS STRONG EAST AS
THE INTENSIFYING SURFACE LOW MOVES NORTHEAST INTO THE AREA. EXACT
TRACK IS HARD TO PIN DOWN AS MODELS ARE SHOWING VERY DIFFERENT
SOLUTIONS. NAM/ECMWF SOLUTION IS PREFERRED OVER THE GFS. BASICALLY
PREFERRED SOLUTION IS TO TAKE THE LOW ACROSS SOUTHEAST OH INTO
CENTRAL NY BY EVENING. DURING THE DAY SATURDAY EXPECT WIDESPREAD
RAIN TO MIX WITH AND THEN CHANGE TO SNOW IN THE WEST DURING THE
MID/LATE AFTERNOON. THROUGH THE EVENING THE CHANGEOVER WILL OCCUR
IN THE EAST. OVERNIGHT SATURDAY NIGHT COLD AIR CONTINUES TO DEEPEN
AND EXPECT LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS TO PICK UP. WINDS ACROSS THE
LAKE BEGIN NORTHERLY AT 850MB 00Z SUNDAY BUT BACK ALL NIGHT TO NW
BY MORNING. CONCERNED ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF BACKING AND THINK MAIN
SNOW WILL BE FROM MULTIBAND SNOW SHOWERS WITH POSSIBLY AN ENHANCED
BAND OFF LAKE HURON SHIFTING THROUGH THE NIGHT. FOR NOW WILL HOLD
ACCUMS TO 4 INCHES OR LESS. SUNDAY WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN
FROM THE SOUTH ALTHOUGH ITS BIGGEST INFLUENCE WILL BE TO BACK
WINDS TO WESTERLY OVER THE LAKE. CONCERNED THAT WE DEVELOP A LONGER
BAND WEST TO EAST BAND. FOR NOW WILL CONTINUE WITH OCCASIONAL SNOW
SHOWERS ALONG THE LAKESHORE THROUGH THE DAY. WINDS CONTINUE TO
BACK SUNDAY NIGHT AND WEAK WARM ADVECTION TAKES PLACE SO EXPECT
LESS THREAT OF LAKE EFFECT ALTHOUGH LOW ADVANCING ON AREA WILL
KEEP POPS FOR SNOW IN FORECAST THROUGH THE NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
MADE ONLY MINOR CHANGES TO THE PREVIOUS LONG TERM FORECAST.  A
COUPLE OF WEAK LOWS AND COLD FRONTS ARE FORECAST TO MOVE THROUGH
FOLLOWED BY A TRANSITION TO LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS. FIRST LOW AND
COLD FRONT ARE EXITING THE LOWER LAKES ON MONDAY PASSING TO THE
NORTH OF LAKE ERIE. WILL SEE A TRANSITION TO LAKE EFFECT SNOW
SHOWERS OVER EXTREME NE OHIO AND NW PENNSYLVANIA CLOSE TO THE LAKE
SHORE TO MORE INLAND AREAS MONDAY NIGHT AS WINDS BECOME MORE N AND
NW. THE LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE INTO TUESDAY BEFORE
HIGH PRESSURE CAUSES THEM TO DIMINISH TUESDAY NIGHT. CERTAINLY
A POTENTIAL FOR SOME SIGNIFICANT LAKE EFFECT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS
DURING THIS PERIOD. THE HIGH SLIDES ACROSS THE AREA LATE TUESDAY
NIGHT AND EARLY WEDNESDAY...THOUGH SOME SNOW MAY ARRIVE LATE IN THE
DAY WEDNESDAY OR WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS YET ANOTHER LOW DROP SE TOWARD
THE LOWER LAKES BY THURSDAY MORNING. THIS IS FOLLOWED BY TRANSITION
BACK TO LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS FOR THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY.
TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE PERIOD WILL AVERAGE WELL BELOW NORMAL.
GENERALLY FOLLOWED HPC GUIDANCE TEMPERATURES OR THE LOWER SIDE OF
THE GFS ENSEMBLE FORECAST GUIDANCE TEMPERATURES.

&&

.AVIATION /01Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
RAIN IS EXPECTED TO SPREAD EAST ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT WHICH SHOULD
MEAN CIGS AND VSBYS DROP TO MVFR AS THE RAIN OCCURS. LATE TONIGHT
PROBABLY WILL SEE SOME IFR DEVELOP AS AIRMASS BECOMES SATURATED
THROUGH THE COLUMN.  LOW END MVFR OR HIGH END IFR SHOULD HANG AROUND
MUCH OF SATURDAY AS A LARGE PRECIPITATION SHIELD BLANKETS THE AREA
ON THE BACK SIDE OF EXITING LOW PRESSURE.  COLDER AIR ARRIVING LATER
SAT INTI SAT EVE WILL CHANGE THE RAIN TO SNOW FROM WEST TO EAST.
WINDS WILL PICK UP OUT THE NW SAT AFTERNOON WITH GUSTS OF 30 TO 35
KNOTS POSSIBLE SO EXPECT MECHANICAL TURBULENCE DURING LANDINGS.

OUTLOOK...PRECIP WILL CHANGE OVER TO SNOW SHOWERS REST OF THE EAST
SATURDAY NIGHT WITH WIDESPREAD NON VFR WEATHER
CONTINUING...ESPECIALLY FROM CLE TO CAK EASTWARD. WILL LIKELY GET
BREAK WITH VFR WEATHER LATE SUNDAY AS WINDS TURN TO THE SOUTHWEST.
BUT LAKE EFFECT SNOW TO CONTINUE ON AND OFF THROUGH TUESDAY AS AN
ARCTIC FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE AREA MONDAY FOR A SECOND REINFORCING
SHOT OF COLD AIR AND SETTING UP MORE LAKE EFFECT SNOW...MAINLY IN
THE SNOWBELT EAST OF CLEVELAND. PLENTY OF NON VFR CONDITIONS MAINLY
IN THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA INTO TUESDAY. MAY GET
ANOTHER BRIEF PERIOD OF VFR WEATHER LATE TUESDAY NIGHT AND MUCH OF
THE DAY WEDNESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVE INTO THE AREA.

&&

.MARINE...
LOT/S OF UNCERTAINTY REMAINS TODAY AS THE LATEST MODELS STILL
SHOWING A LOT OF DISAGREEMENT WITH TIMING AND MOVEMENT OF MAIN
FEATURES. NEW RUNS SUGGEST THAT GALES MARGINALLY POSSIBLE ON LAKE
ERIE TOMORROW. SINCE CANADA HAS GONE WITH A GALE WARNING WE WILL
ALSO GO AHEAD AND PUT ONE UP WITH THE EVENING ISSUANCE. OVERNIGHT
THE WINDS WILL START OUT FROM THE S AND THEN GRADUALLY START TO BECOME
N TO NW LATE TONIGHT AS THE SURFACE LOW PASSES TO THE S. THE FLOW
SHOULD EVENTUALLY BECOME N ON THE ENTIRE LAKE SATURDAY WITH
MARGINAL GALE FORCE WINDS. THE FLOW WILL BECOME NW ON SATURDAY
NIGHT AND THEN MORE WESTERLY ON SUNDAY AS THE LOW PULLS OFF TO THE
NE. AT THE SAME TIME WINDS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH. ANOTHER FRONT
WILL CROSS THE LAKE SOMETIME ON MONDAY WITH THE WINDS BECOMING NW
AND PICKING UP AGAIN. NW FLOW WILL THEN PERSIST INTO WEDNESDAY
WHEN A SURFACE RIDGE STARTS TO BUILD INTO THE REGION. THE FLOW
WILL BECOME SW AS THIS HAPPENS. SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS EXPECTED
MOST OF THE PERIOD.
