AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
308 PM EST TUE FEB 26 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OVER PENNSYLVANIA WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EASTWARD
TONIGHT...BUT A TROUGH WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES
REGION THROUGH WEDNESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE AREA
ON THURSDAY BUT WILL QUICKLY MOVE EAST AS LOW PRESSURE ONCE AGAIN
APPROACHES THE REGION ON FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
MID AFTERNOON SURFACE ANALYSIS PLACES THE CENTER OF THE LOW NEAR
JOHNSTOWN PA...WITH THE INVERTED TROUGH NOW EXTENDING NORTHWARD
TOWARD BUFFALO NY. ALL PRECIPITATION HAS CHANGED OVER TO SNOW AS
EXPECTED AND FORECAST PROFILES CONTINUE TO INDICATE SUBZERO TEMPS
ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE COLUMN. DEFORMATION BAND OF SNOW CONTINUES
TO AFFECT AREAS NEAR FINDLAY...SANDUSKY...AND MANSFIELD AND WILL
CONTINUE TO SEE THIS BAND PUSH EASTWARD THIS EVENING. WILL KEEP SNOW
IN THE FORECAST TONIGHT ALTHOUGH WILL REMOVE MENTION OF BLOWING
SNOW. HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY REPORTS OF BLOWING SNOW THUS FAR AND
WINDS ARENT FORECAST TO INCREASE TO MUCH BEYOND 15-20KTS. WET NATURE
OF THE SNOW SHOULD ALSO PRECLUDE SIGNIFICANT BLOWING OR DRIFTING.

BELIEVE THAT THE HEAVIEST ACCUMS HAVE ALREADY OCCURRED IN
NORTHWEST OHIO. WITH VSBYS IMPROVING AT NEARLY ALL ASOS SITES WEST
OF THE FORECAST AREA...WILL DOWNGRADE MOST OF NW OH TO AN ADVISORY
TIL 10PM. WILL LET EVENING SHIFT TAKE A LOOK AND DECIDE WHETHER OR
NOT TO CANCEL IT EARLY OR LET IT RUN TIL THIS EVENING. MODELS STILL
TRYING TO INDICATE SOME SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS IN NW OHIO THROUGH
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AND THINK THAT SOME SORT OF HEADLINE WILL BE
JUSTIFIED IN THIS AREA. WILL LEAVE THE REST OF THE WARNING IN PLACE
WITH THE SNOW ONGOING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
IMMEDIATE CONCERN FOR WEDNESDAY TURNS TOWARD ANY POSSIBLE LAKE
EFFECT/ENHANCED SNOW. GIVEN EXTENSIVE ICE COVER ON LAKE ERIE...WOULD
NOT EXPECT MUCH OF A CONTRIBUTION FROM LAKE ERIE TOMORROW BUT NEARLY
WIDE OPEN LAKE HURON AND ASSOCIATED NORTHERLY FLOW COULD LEAD TO
SOME NARROW BANDS FROM LAKE HURON DURING THE DAY TOMORROW. GOOD NEWS
IS THAT THE FLOW WILL BE MIGRATING FROM NORTHERLY TO NORTHWESTERLY
TO WESTERLY THROUGH THE DAY...ANY BANDS WOULD BE TRANSITORY IN
NATURE AND DO NOT EXPECT ACCUMS TO GET TOO OUT OF HAND. WILL GO WITH
1 TO LOCALLY 3 IN THE SNOWBELT TOMORROW UNTIL THE FLOW BACKS AROUND
OUT OF THE WEST TOMORROW NIGHT.

FLOW ALOFT REMAINS NORTHWESTERLY WEDNESDAY NIGHT. MODELS ARE TRYING
TO INDICATE AN ELONGATED SHORTWAVE DIVING OUT OF NORTHERN MICHIGAN
LATE TOMORROW NIGHT. SURFACE RIDGE WILL ALREADY BE IN PLACE ACROSS
THE FORECAST AREA AND AM NOT EXPECTING ANY SIGNIFICANT ACCUMS WITH
THIS WAVE. WILL DRAW IN SOME LOW CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA
BUT ACCUMS SHOULD GENERALLY BE AN INCH OR LESS AREA-WIDE WEDNESDAY
NIGHT. SNOW SHOULD TAPER OFF FROM WEST TO EAST DURING THE DAY ON
THURSDAY...MAY EVEN START THE DAY OFF DRY ON THURSDAY IN THE WESTERN
COUNTIES.

AS QUICKLY AS ONE WAVE DEPARTS...ANOTHER ONE APPROACHES FROM THE
WEST THURSDAY NIGHT. THIS ONE WILL APPROACH IN THE FORM OF A FAST
MOVING CLIPPER OUT OF NORTHERN MINNESOTA. PREVIOUS FORECAST ALREADY
HAD POPS IN PLACE THURSDAY NIGHT AND WILL RETAIN HIGH CHANCE POPS IN
MOST LOCATIONS. SNOW WILL LIKELY HOLD OFF IN THE EAST UNTIL AFTER
SUNRISE FRIDAY BUT ALL SITES WEST OF CLEVELAND SHOULD SEE SNOW LATE
THURSDAY NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
EXTENDED PERIOD BEGINS FRIDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM EAST OF THE
FORECAST AREA. A CLIPPER DROPS SOUTHEASTWARD FROM CENTRAL CANADA
ACROSS THE FORECAST ROUTES FRIDAY INTO EARLY SATURDAY. IT WILL
FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRESSURE FOR SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY...ALL THOUGH
ANOTHER LOW APPROACHES LATE SUNDAY...I WILL MENTION ONLY CHC POPS
SUNDAY AND A LITTLE STRONGER SUNDAY NIGHT AS MUCH WARMER AIR AHEAD
OF IT. THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH LATE SUNDAY NIGHT
INTO MONDAY MORNING SO WILL CONTINUE CHC POPS FOR RAIN SUNDAY NIGHT
FOLLOWED BY A CHANGE TO SNOW SHOWERS.

I CONTINUED TO FOLLOWED THE GFS SOLUTION WITH WRAP AROUND MOISTURE
REMAINING IN THE AREA LATE MONDAY INTO TUESDAY. THE GFS HANGS-UP THE
FRONTAL SYSTEM AS A SOUTHEAST LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS AND MOVES
NORTHEASTWARD ALONG THE FRONT LATE TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. PCPN MAY
BEGIN AS SNOW BUT SHOULD MIX AND BECOME MOSTLY RAIN ON TUESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
WIDESPREAD IFR CONDITIONS DUE TO SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW TO CONTINUE
THRU 00Z TNGT...BY THEN THE SNOW SHOULD BEGIN TO TAPER-OFF BUT THE
WIND WILL REMAIN QUITE STRONG OVERNIGHT WITH OCCASIONAL GUSTS TO
25 TO 30 KTS OR SLIGHTLY HIGHER. THE FREEZING RAIN AT KCAK/KYNG IS
JUST ABOUT OVER...SO LOOK FOR MOST OF THAT PCPN TO ALL SNOW
THIS AFTN AS THE LOW PRESSURE PULLS EAST OF OHIO AND NW PA.

NORTH TO NORTHWEST WINDS HAVE BEGUN TO INCREASE WHICH WILL
RESULT IN SOME BLOWING SNOW PROBLEMS WITH LOWER VISIBILITIES.
WILL BRING CONDITIONS GRADUALLY UP TO MVFR OVERNIGHT/MID MORNING
HOURS AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES INTO NEW ENGLAND.

.OUTLOOK...VFR CONDS LIKELY THURSDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE MOVING
IN. COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH FRIDAY WITH LOW PRESSURE MOVING
SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES WITH MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE
WITH SNOW SHOWERS. HIGH PRESSURE MOVES IN ON SATURDAY RESULTING IN
IMPROVING CONDITIONS.

&&

.MARINE...
MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT TAKING THE SURFACE LOW NOW IN VIRGINIA
INTO QUEBEC WEDNESDAY MORNING.   BEHIND THE LOW BOUNDARY LAYER
WINDS INCREASE TO AROUND 35 TO 40 KTS WITH STRONG COLD ADVECTION.
WILL CONTINUE GALE WARNING THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT. WINDS WILL
DECREASE RAPIDLY ON WEDNESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE NUDGES IN.  HIGH
WILL BE CENTERED OVER LAKE ERIE BY THURSDAY MORNING.  LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM WILL MOVE ACROSS THE LAKES FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY.  MODELS
STILL IN DISAGREEMENT ON THE EXACT TRACK AND TIMING OF THE LOW.
GFS MOVES THE LOW ACROSS LAKE HURON...WHILE NAM IS 6 TO 12 HOURS
SLOWER AND TRACKS LOW ACROSS LAKE SUPERIOR.  EITHER WAY COLD FRONT
WILL MOVE ACROSS LAKE ERIE FRIDAY.  WINDS LIGHTEN UP SUNDAY AS
ANOTHER AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS THE LOWER LAKES.
