AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
744 AM EDT SUN JUN 29 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING ACROSS THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES WILL
MOVE INTO SOUTHERN QUEBEC TODAY...DRAGGING A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE
AREA. SEVERAL TROUGHS WILL ROTATE ACROSS THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES
TONIGHT INTO MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
LEADING EDGE OF THE COLD FRONT INTO NORTH CENTRAL OHIO...BROKEN LINE
OF TSRA BUILDING NORTH ALONG THE FRONT INTO SRN IN.  NOT SURE HOW
FAR NORTH IT WILL MAKE IT THIS MORNING.  SECONDARY TROUGH NOW
EXTENDING FROM THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES INTO NRN IL WILL SWING ACROSS
THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON.  MUCH BETTER CHANCE FOR SHOWERS OR TSRA
WITH THE TROUGH THIS AFTERNOON.  WENT WITH THE SLIGHTLY COOLER MET
TEMPS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
FALL PATTERN SETS UP FOR THE EARLY PART OF THE WORK WEEK AS LARGE
UPPER TROUGH MOVES SLOWLY ACROSS THE LAKES...WITH A SERIES OF SHORT
WAVES MOVING ACROSS THE AREA.  IN ADDITION 850 TEMPS DROP TO 5C
MONDAY...AND WITH A LAKE TEMP AROUND 20C COULD SEE SOME TSRA IN
ADDITION TO THE SHOWERS.  AT THIS POINT WILL JUST GO LIKELY POPS ERN
HALF OF THE AREA WITHOUT TRYING TO TIME THE SHORT WAVES.  GRADUAL
IMPROVEMENT TUESDAY AS HIGH BUILDS IN.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
MAIN FEATURE OF THE EXTENDED FORECAST IS A CONTINUATION OF THE
TROUGH IN THE EAST AND COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE. GFS IS NOW FASTER WITH
THE FRONT PUSHING IT SOUTH OF THE AREA THURSDAY MORNING. 00Z ECMWF
IS A BIT SLOWER WITH FRONTAL PASSAGE ON THURSDAY. ECMWF CONTINUES TO
STALL THE COLD FRONT LATE IN THE WEEK OVER THE OHIO VALLEY AND HAS
BEEN CONSISTENT IN DEVELOPING A WAVE ON THE FRONT AND RETURNING
SHOWERS/STORMS TO THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA ON FRIDAY...THE FOURTH OF
JULY. GFS DRIVES THE FRONT FARTHER SOUTH AND KEEPS THE SHOWER
ACTIVITY SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA. GIVEN THE NW FLOW ALOFT AND THE
BUILDING HIGH ACROSS EASTERN CANADA I FAVOR A DRIER SOLUTION
ALTHOUGH I CANNOT RULE OUT A CHANCE OF SHOWERS/STORMS ESPECIALLY
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES...SO FOR NOW I WILL CONTINUE WITH 20-30
POP (SLIGHT CHANCE/CHANCE) FORECAST THURSDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY.

TEMPS WILL BE NEAR TO BELOW NORMAL. IF WE DO HAPPEN TO HAVE A CLOUDY
AND SHOWERY DAY...MAX TEMPS COULD STRUGGLE TO GET OUT OF THE 60S.
VISE VERSA...IF WE CLEARED OUT WE COULD HAVE SOME COOL NIGHTS WITH
TEMPS WELL DOWN INTO THE 50S. FORECAST TEMPS ARE A COMPROMISE WITH
HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE 70S AND LOWS 55 TO 60.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
A FEW SHOWERS CONTINUE TO REDEVELOP ALONG WEAKENING COLD FRONT
OVER NE OH. STRATUS LAYER SLOLY LIFTING BUT EXPECT MVFR CEILINGS
FOR A WHILE LONGER ACROSS MUCH OF INLAND NE OH/NW PA. SURFACE
TROUGH AND SHORT WAVE OVER CENTRAL GREAT LAKES WILL LIFT OUT TODAY
BUT SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP IN SPIRAL BAND TYPE
CONFIGURATION ACROSS NW OHIO BY LATE MORNING AND ELSEWHERE THIS
AFTERNOON FROM WEST TO EAST. LOCALIZED MVFR CEILINGS/VSBY...
PERHAPS BRIEF IFR VSBY IN HEAVIER SHOWERS/TSTORMS. ACTIVITY
SHOULD SHIFT EAST THIS EVENING. LARGE PATCH OF MVFR STRATOCUMULUS
OVER NORTHERN AND WESTERN GREAT LAKES SHOULD REDEVELOP ACROSS THE
AREA LATER TONIGHT OR EARLY MON MORN.

.OUTLOOK...UPPER LOW/TROUGH ALOFT WILL BE OVERHEAD MONDAY AND
EXPECT DIURNAL CLOUDS AND SHOWERS/TSTORMS TO DEVELOP DURING THE
DAYTIME HEATING. VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED AS HIGH PRESSURE
SPREADS OVER THE REGION TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. NEXT COLD FRONT
WITH THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS/STORMS EXPECTED LATER WED NIGHT/THUR.

&&

.MARINE...
SOUTHWEST WIND WILL GRADUALLY LIGHTEN UP AS FRONT PASSES EAST BUT
PASSAGE OF TROUGH THIS AFTERNOON AND THE CHANCE OF CONVECTIVE
SHOWERS/STORMS MAY MAKE THE LAKE A BIT CHOPPY. WIND SHOULD SHIFT
MORE TO W OR NW ON MONDAY AS NEXT TROUGH SLIDES SOUTHEAST ON MONDAY
AND PASSAGE OF TROUGH COMBINED WITH COLD AIR ALOFT SHOULD PROVIDE
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA BY LATER MONDAY. JUST AS QUICKLY...
THE GRADIENT WILL RELAX ON TUESDAY AS SURFACE HIGH BUILDS EAST AND
RETURN SW FLOW WILL DEVELOP. CONSENSUS TIMING ON NEXT COLD FRONT IS
THURSDAY MORNING AND WILL SHIFT WIND TO NNW ON THURSDAY.

&&

.CLE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
OH...NONE.
PA...NONE.
MARINE...NONE.
