AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
625 PM EST MON FEB 18 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE NORTHEAST OF THE AREA WHILE AN ARCTIC COLD
FRONT MOVES EAST ACROSS THE REGION THIS EVENING. A WEAK RIDGE WILL
BUILD NORTHEAST INTO THE REGION TUESDAY. A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE WILL
MOVE EAST INTO THE OHIO VALLEY BY WEDNESDAY MORNING.  A STRONG
ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE CENTER WILL MOVE SOUTH ACROSS THE PLAINS STATES
AND THEN EAST ACROSS OHIO AND PENNSYLVANIA BY THURSDAY NIGHT. LOW
PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP OVER THE TEXAS PANHANDLE AND TRACK EAST ALONG
THE GULF COAST STATES AND THEN NORTHEAST INTO THE OHIO VALLEY BY
FRIDAY AND TO THE NORTHEAST UNITED STATES COAST BY SATURDAY
AFTERNOON. ANOTHER LARGE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD SOUTH TO
THE CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI VALLEY REGION BY SUNDAY AND THEN TO THE
CAROLINA COAST BY MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ARCTIC COLD FRONT THAT
IS MOVING INTO THE AREA.  THE ASSOCIATED MOISTURE IS RUNNING A FAIR
DISTANCE AHEAD OF THE FRONT PRODUCING SOME BRIEF MODERATE SNOW
SHOWERS ACROSS THE AREA.

ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL USHER IN MUCH COLDER AIR.  SUBSIDENCE IS
ALLOWING FOR SOME CLEARING SKIES IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT.  AHEAD OF
THE FRONT...DRIER AIR IS WORKING TO BREAK UP THE CLOUD DECK AS WELL.

WRAP AROUND MOISTURE WILL WORK ITS WAY SOUTHEAST TOWARD THE AREA
LATE TONIGHT IN ASSOCIATION WITH A WEAK UPPER LEVEL TROUGH THAT
WEAKENS.  MORE SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE LATER ON TONIGHT
WITH THE UPPER LEVEL FEATURE.

FLOW BECOMES FAVORABLE FOR SOME LAKE EFFECT SNOW ACTIVITY OVERNIGHT
AS WELL.  BIG HOLE IN VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY RACING UP THE LAKE
IS ALLOWING US TO GET A GOOD LOOK AT THE ICE COVER. WE NOTED THAT
THERE ARE SEVERAL LARGE CRACKS IN THE ICE AND THIS WILL ALLOW FOR
SOME MOISTURE TRANSPORT INTO THE AIR AS IT PASSES OVER THE LAKE.
BETTER CHANCE FOR SNOW IN THE NORTHEAST SNOWBELT.

COLD AIR ADVECTION PATTERN IN THE WAKE OF THE ARCTIC FRONT WILL SET
UP FOR ANOTHER CHILLY NIGHT.  WINDS SHOULD HELP KEEP THINGS MIXED
ENOUGH TO KEEP TEMPERATURES FROM DROPPING TOO COLD.  BEST COLD AIR
DOES NOT REALLY ARRIVE UNTIL TOMORROW. FORECAST TEMPERATURES FOR
TONIGHT A DEGREE OR TWO WARMER THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE TOMORROW WITH WEST TO
NORTHWEST STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION FLOW OVER THE AREA. WRAP
AROUND MOISTURE FROM TONIGHT WILL EXIT TO THE EAST OF THE AREA
DURING THE MORNING AND THIS WILL DIMINISH SNOW THREAT DUE TO DRIER
AIR PENETRATING EAST INTO THE REGION.

JET STREAK DIVES SOUTHEAST TOWARD THE AREA TUESDAY EVENING CAUSING
CYCLOGENESIS TO OCCUR OVER SOUTHERN OHIO. THESE FEATURES SHOULD
BRING A CHANCE FOR A SWATH OF SNOW TO THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE
FORECAST AREA TUESDAY NIGHT.  BEST CHANCES ACROSS THE SOUTH.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD RIGHT OVER THE AREA BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND
SET UP FOR A VERY CHILLY NIGHT.  MODELS AGREE THAT FLOW COULD STILL
BRING A CHANCE FOR SOME LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY TO THE
NORTHEAST SNOW BELT BUT GRADUALLY ENDING BY MORNING.  REST OF THE
AREA WILL LIKELY SEE A LOT OF CLEARING SKIES ALLOWING FOR
RADIATIONAL COOLING. WINDS SHOULD BE FAIRLY LIGHT REDUCING MIXING AS
WELL.

ADJUSTED MAV TEMPERATURES ARE DOING A FAIRLY GOOD JOB REPRESENTING
COLD AIR OUTBREAK OVER NEXT FEW DAYS SO WILL LEAN TOWARD THEM THIS
GO AROUND.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
GFS FASTER WITH NEXT WAVE ON FRIDAY...BRINGING PCPN BACK TO THE
AREA BY THURSDAY NIGHT. NOT SURE IF IT WILL BE THAT FAST BUT HAVE
NO PROBLEM STARTING LOW POP CHANCE THURSDAY NIGHT. TREND IN THE
MODELS IS FOR A WEAKER WAVE FARTHER SOUTH. WAVE MAY BE WEAKER BUT
WE HAVE SEEN EVERY WAVE SINCE MID DECEMBER TRACK FARTHER NORTH AND
WEST THAN PROGGED SO WILL NOT BITE OFF ON THE SOLUTION JUST YET.
JUST SAW THE LATEST ECMWF AND IT DEVELOPS A STRONGER LOW AND
TRACKS IT ACROSS EASTERN OHIO. BEST FRONTOGENESIS AND Q VECTOR
CONVERGENCE IS ACROSS THE LOWER LAKES ON FRIDAY. AIRMASS WILL
INITIALLY BE COLD THOUGH. WILL LOWER TEMPS A CATEGORY NW OHIO
WHICH IS CLOSER TO NCEP GUIDANCE TEMPS OF LOWER/MID 30S FOR
FRIDAY...WILL CONTINUE WITH CONTINUITY OVER TOWARD YTOWN AND
CONTINUE TO MENTION BOTH RAIN AND SNOW.

TEMP GUIDANCE LOOKS TOO WARM FOR THE WEEKEND. WAVE SHOULD EXIT SAT
MORNING. SOME SHOWERS COULD LINGER ESPECIALLY IN THE SNOWBELT AS
UPPER TROUGH WILL BE SLOW TO MOVE OUT. I DOUBT TEMPS WOULD BE ANY
WARMER THAN THEY WERE ON FRIDAY AS A SEMI ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE AREA
SHOULD BUILD IN LATER IN THE WEEKEND INTO MONDAY WITH COLD NIGHTS
AND HIGH TEMPS A LITTLE BELOW SEASONABLE NORMALS...ESPECIALLY IF
THERE IS SNOW ON THE GROUND. NEXT WAVE SHOULD MOVE ENE ON TUESDAY
WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF QUESTIONS ON THE EXACT TRACK. SHORT WAVES
LATER IN THE PERIOD (BEYOND DAY 5) SEEM ASSOCIATED WITH THE SOUTHERN
BRANCH OF THE JET AND MAY HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF TRACKING FARTHER
SOUTH.

&&

.AVIATION /23Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
SNOW FROM THE TROUGH WHICH ROTATED ACROSS THE AREA NOW EXITING THE
FORECAST AREA. MOST LOCATIONS SHOULD SEE A BREAK WITH CIG AND VIS
POPING UP TO VFR FOR A TIME. THE CAK-YNG AREA WILL GET CLIPPED BY
THE SNOW MOVING ACROSS SW OHIO NOW. THE REST OF NE OH AND NW PA
WILL GET A BREAK UNTIL AFTER MIDNIGHT. LATE TONIGHT TROUGH ACROSS
LAKE HURON WILL SWING ACROSS LAKE ERIE. AREAS FROM CLE EAST COULD
SEE UP TO AN INCH BY DAYBREAK...EXCEPT 1-3 INCHES ACROSS THE SNOW
BELT.

OUTLOOK...ONE LAST SHORT WAVE PROGGED FOR EARLY WEDNESDAY WILL
APPARENTLY BE STRONG ENOUGH TO SPIN UP A SURFACE LOW ACROSS THE OHIO
VALLEY. MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS LIKELY IN SNOW/SNOW SHOWERS EARLY
WEDNESDAY WHICH MAY LINGER ACROSS THE SNOWBELT INTO WEDNESDAY
NIGHT. ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE FOR THURSDAY WILL GIVE WAY TO A WARM
FRONT AND WAVE TRACKING TO NEAR THE OHIO VALLEY EARLY IN THE
WEEKEND AT WHICH POINT MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS WILL RETURN WITH THE
POTENTIAL FOR WINTRY/MIXED PCPN.

&&

.MARINE...
WINDS HAVE STARTED TO DIE DOWN ON THE LAKE THIS AFTERNOON FOLLOWING
THE STRONG COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE LAST NIGHT. A SECONDARY TROUGH WILL
MAKE ITS WAY ACROSS THE LAKE TONIGHT AND GIVEN SOUTHWESTERLY FETCH
UP THE LONG AXIS OF THE LAKE...AM EXPECTING WINDS TO REACH GALES
AGAIN BY LATE EVENING. WILL CONTINUE WITH GALES ON THE EAST END
UNTIL 4AM...EVENING AND MID SHIFTS CAN DECIDE HOW TO HANDLE THE
EXPIRATION TIME BASED ON HOW STRONG THE WINDS GET. CERTAINLY BY MID
MORNING TOMORROW SURFACE RIDGING WILL ACT TO BRING WINDS BELOW GALE
CRITERIA.

BRIEF BREAK IN THE ACTIVE WEATHER TUESDAY AFTERNOON BUT ANOTHER LOW
WILL DROP SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE LAKE WEDNESDAY MORNING. DOES NOT LOOK
LIKE A STRONG PUSH OF COLD AIR BEHIND THIS LOW AND WILL ONLY GO WITH
NORTHWESTERLY WINDS 10-20KTS. ANOTHER RIDGE SETS UP OVER THE LAKE ON
THURSDAY HOWEVER THIS WILL BE SHORT LIVED AS ALL MODELS NOW SHOWING
LOW PRESSURE MOVING UP THE OHIO VALLEY FRIDAY MORNING. WILL BRING
THE WINDS AROUND OUT OF THE NORTHEAST FRIDAY MORNING...TURNING
NORTHWESTERLY FRIDAY EVENING AS THE LOW QUICKLY MOVES TO THE EAST
COAST. WITH THE EURO NOW TAKING ON THE SOLUTION OF THE GFS AND
SHIFTING THE LOW FURTHER NORTH AND WEST...WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE
HOW THIS STORM TRACK VERIFIES GIVEN RECENT TREND FOR THESE LOWS TO
TRACK THROUGH LOWER MICHIGAN INSTEAD OF ACROSS WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA.
WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE THE MODELS CONTINUE TO SHIFT THE LOW
FURTHER AND FURTHER NORTH WITH SUBSEQUENT RUNS THIS WEEK...WILL
CONTINUE TO MONITOR AS THE TRACK WILL HAVE SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS ON
THE WIND DIRECTION ON THE LAKE. ANOTHER RIDGE WILL POSITION ITSELF
ACROSS THE LAKE ON SATURDAY WITH LIGHT WINDS EXPECTED.
