AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
312 AM EST SUN DEC 28 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH OHIO AND PENNSYLVANIA
TODAY...BRINGING GUSTY CONDITIONS AS WELL AS COOLER TEMPERATURES.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL RETURN TO THE REGION TONIGHT ALLOWING FOR DRIER
WEATHER TO START THE UPCOMING WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
COLD FRONT JUST ABOUT TO ENTER NORTHWEST OHIO AS OF 07Z.
PRECIPITATION HAS BECOME MORE SHOWERY SINCE MIDNIGHT AS ALL
LIGHTNING HAS DIMINISHED BUT STILL CANT RULE OUT A RUMBLE OF THUNDER
THIS MORNING. WINDS SO FAR HAVENT BEEN TOO TERRIBLY STRONG...A FEW
GUSTS INTO THE UPPER 20KTS BUT THATS BEEN THE WORST OF IT. UPSTREAM
OBS IMMEDIATELY AHEAD OF/BEHIND THE FRONT INDICATE THAT HIGHER WINDS
ARE ON TAP ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA...HOWEVER IT APPEARS THEY WILL
BE RELATIVELY SHORT LIVED. I WILL CONTINUE THE WIND ADVISORY AS IS
SINCE I THINK ADVISORY WINDS WILL OCCUR ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA...BUT
WILL ADVISE NEXT SHIFT THAT THE DURATION COULD PROBABLY BE TRIMMED
BACK A BIT.

TWO OTHER ISSUES TO CONTEND WITH...THE FIRST BEING HOW LONG TO HOLD
ONTO THE MENTION OF RAIN. WHILE THE BACK EDGE OF THE RAIN IS FAIRLY
RAGGED ON THE REGIONAL RADAR MOSAIC...MY BEST GUESS IS THAT PRECIP
IS FINISHED WEST OF A KSBN/KIND LINE. THIS WOULD END THE PRECIP
ACROSS MY WESTERN COUNTIES RIGHT AROUND DAYBREAK AND ACROSS MY
ENTIRE AREA BY NOON. I WILL CARRY A LOW CHANCE MENTION IN THE WEST
THIS MORNING WITH MUCH HIGHER POPS FURTHER EAST...HOWEVER I THINK
ALL PRECIP SHOULD BE DONE BY NOON WITH CLEARING SKIES. THERE IS A
LOT OF DRY AIR BEHIND THIS SYSTEM AND I THINK WE WILL BE HARD
PRESSED TO KEEP CLOUDY SKIES IN PLACE ALL DAY.

THE OTHER ISSUE IS TEMPERATURES...TEMPS WILL BE FALLING ALL DAY IN
THE WEST BUT WILL REMAIN WARM THIS MORNING IN THE EAST BEFORE
TUMBLING AROUND MID-MORNING. I WILL WORD THE FORECAST TO MENTION
FALLING TEMPS BUT HOURLY TEMPS/GRIDS WILL CERTAINLY NEED TO BE
TWEAKED AS COLD AIR RUSHES IN THIS MORNING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
COLD FRONT WILL BE WELL EAST OF THE AREA BY THIS EVENING. WINDS WILL
BE ON THE DECREASE AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT RELAXES AND AS HIGH
PRESSURE SETTLES INTO PLACE ACROSS THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY. WENT WITH
A DRY FORECAST TONIGHT AND DURING THE DAY ON MONDAY AND THIS
CONTINUES TO BE IN LINE WITH ALL MODEL GUIDANCE. A WEAK TROUGH WILL
MOVE THROUGH ONTARIO MONDAY NIGHT BUT REMAIN NORTH OF THE LAKE...THE
GFS IS HINTING AT SOME VERY LIGHT SNOWFALL DOWNWIND OF THE LAKE
MONDAY NIGHT BUT THE NAM REMAINS DRY. LOCAL GFS-BASED WRF ALSO
HINTING AT SOME LIGHT SNOW MONDAY NIGHT ACROSS NW PA...IT LOOKS LIKE
A PRETTY SLIM CHANCE AT THIS POINT BUT I WILL RETAIN LOW CHANCE POPS
ACROSS NW PA MON NIGHT FOR CONTINUITY. BY TUESDAY MORNING HOWEVER
ANOTHER RIDGE SETTLES IN OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN CONUS AND I DONT
EXPECT ANY PRECIP ANYWHERE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. THIS SHOULD
CONTINUE TO BE THE CASE UNTIL TUESDAY NIGHT AS A FAST MOVING WAVE OF
LOW PRESSURE MOVES FROM WISCONSIN TO WESTERN NEW YORK. SNOW SHOULD
DEVELOP FAIRLY QUICKLY AHEAD OF THIS WAVE TUESDAY NIGHT BUT SHOULD
ALSO DISSIPATE QUICKLY BEHIND IT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE IN FROM
THE WEST WEDNESDAY NIGHT BUT A FEW SNOW SHOWERS WILL LIKELY HANG ON
ACROSS THE EASTERN COUNTIES INTO EARLY THURSDAY MORNING.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
FORECAST FOR THE LATTER PORTION OF THE WEEK RELATIVELY UNCHANGED AS
THE EURO AND GFS MODELS SHARE GOOD AGREEMENT. HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD
BE WELL ESTABLISHED ACROSS THE FORECAST THURSDAY MORNING WITH
DECREASING CLOUDS. SHOULD BE A CHILLY START TO THE DAY BUT AS THE
HIGH SLIDES EAST I EXPECT TEMPS TO REBOUND TO NEAR NORMAL VALUES
THURSDAY AFTERNOON. ANOTHER WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE THROUGH
THE GREAT LAKES ON FRIDAY. PRECIP WITH THIS WAVE APPEARS TO BE A
GOOD BET PER PREVIOUS FORECAST...NO MAJOR CHANGES TO POPS FRIDAY OR
SATURDAY. CONDITIONS MAY BE SLOW TO DRY OUT ON SATURDAY AS A
SECONDARY TROUGH ROTATES ACROSS LAKE ERIE SATURDAY MORNING AND I
KEPT SNOW MENTIONED DOWNWIND OF THE LAKE THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
COLD FRONT AS OF 04Z JUST MOVING INTO INDIANA WITH SHRA AND EVEN
SOME WIDELY SCT EMBEDDED TS. LOOKS LIKE SHRA WILL MOVE INTO
WESTERN SITES WELL AHEAD OF THE FRONT OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS.
MENTIONED SOME TSRA AT WESTERN SITES GIVEN LIGHTNING SHOWING UP
ACROSS INDIANA. FOR REMAINDER OF SITES ONLY MENTIONED SOME CB AS
CONFIDENCE NOT AS STRONG FOR EASTERN 2/3 OF AREA. FRONT LOOKS TO
CROSS CENTRAL AREAS FROM 10-12Z AND THEN 11-14Z FOR FAR EAST.
PRECIP EXPECTED TO END FAIRLY QUICKLY AFTER FROPA THEN CEILINGS
COULD COME UP QUICKLY ESP ACROSS WESTERN AREAS INTO AFTERNOON. FOR
REMAINDER BROUGHT CEILINGS UP THROUGH MORNING AND AFTN HOURS.

WINDS DURING THE PD WILL CONTINUE GUSTY FROM SOUTH AHEAD OF
FRONT...THEN TURN SW BEHIND FRONT. DIDN/T MAKE TOO MANY
ADJUSTMENTS TO WINDS FROM PREVIOUS FORECASTS WITH GUSTS 30-40KT
JUST AHEAD AND BEHIND FRONT. WITH LOW PRES EXPECTED TO TRACK WELL
NORTH OF THE AREA AND MOVE ALONG FAIRLY QUICKLY CONTINUED WITH FM
GROUPS LATER IN TAF PERIOD MAINLY TO INDICATE DIMINISHING WINDS
WITH HI PRES MOVING IN SUN EVENING.

OUTLOOK...MAINLY VFR SUNDAY NIGHT EXCEPT ERIE WHERE LAKE CLOUDS MAY
ALLOW FOR SOME BKN030 CIGS. CHANCE OF SOME MVFR CONDITIONS MONDAY
NIGHT AND EARLY TUESDAY. VFR TUE...THEN ANOTHER LOW PRES BUILDS IN
WITH MVFR AND POSS LCL IFR TUES NITE/WED. VFR WED NIGHT AND THU.

&&

.MARINE...
WILL CONTINUE WITH MARINE HEADLINES AS THEY ARE.  COLD FRONT NOW
ENTERING WESTERN OHIO AND SHOULD BE ON THE WESTERN BASIN OF THE LAKE
BY 5AM.  WEST WINDS GUSTING TO 25 TO 30 KNOTS AHEAD OF THE FRONT
WILL TURN WSW AND INCREASE TO 30 TO 35 KNOTS.  PEAK GUSTS TO THE
WEST HAVE REACHED THE LOW TO MID 40 KNOT RANGE AND WOULD EXPECT THAT
ON THE LAKE AS WELL.  FRONT WILL LIKELY CLEAR THE EAST END OF THE
LAKE AROUND 11AM OR SO. LATE AFTERNOON AND OVERNIGHT EXPECT WINDS TO
DIMINISH QUICKLY HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS TOWARD THE AREA FROM THE
SOUTHWEST. STRONG WSW FLOW WILL ALSO TAKE LAKE LEVELS BELOW THE
CRITICAL MARK.  THIS SHOULD TAKE PLACE AROUND DAWN AND LAST MUCH OF
THE DAY.  NEXT SYSTEM TO AFFECT THE LAKE WILL COME LATE MONDAY INTO
MONDAY NIGHT AS A CLIPPER MOVES THROUGH THE CENTRAL LAKES. A COLD
FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE LAKE DURING THE EVENING ALTHOUGH GALES
ARE NOT EXPECTED.  WEDNESDAY ANOTHER LOW WILL INTENSIFY ACROSS THE
CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND MOVE ACROSS THE LOWER LAKES.  SOME
SMALL DIFFERENCES WITH THE NAM AND GFS LOW POSITIONS AND TRACKS
WOULD NOT NORMALLY BE SIGNIFICANT ALTHOUGH THE TRACK WILL BE CLOSE
TO THE LAKE AND THEREFORE ANY DIFFERENCES RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANT
DIFFERENCE IN WIND DIRECTION.  FOR NOW WILL SIDE WITH THE NAM WHICH
IS A BIT SLOWER AND FURTHER SOUTH THAN THE GFS.  EITHER WAY
WEDNESDAY SHOULD SEE WINDS TURN NORTHWEST BEHIND THE SYSTEM IN COLD
ADVECTION. HIGH PRESSURE TO BUILD IN LATE WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.
