AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
1205 PM EST TUE MAR 4 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE FROM THE TENNESSEE VALLEY WILL TRACK NORTHEAST ACROSS
THE OHIO VALLEY BY THIS EVENING AND ACROSS NEW ENGLAND ON
WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL KEEP MOST OF THE AREA ON THE COLD SIDE OF THE
STORM SYSTEM WITH A WINTRY MIX OF PRECIPITATION. A CLIPPER LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL CROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES EARLY THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
PRECIPITATION DECREASING A LITTLE WHICH WAS EXPECTED. TEMPERATURES
MAY STILL TRY TO MODERATE SOME IN THE SOUTHEAST PORTION OF THE
FORECAST AREA. AT THE MOMENT THE ICE ACCUMULATION IS UNDER CONTROL
AND ADVISORY LOOKS OK AS PER THE TIME OF THE YEAR AND SUN ANGLE
ACCUMULATION OF ICE WILL BE TOUGH TODAY. WILL BE LOOKING AT NEW
DATA FOR ANY CHANGES TO THE FORECAST FOR TONIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS COLDER AIR WRAPS IN TONIGHT THE FREEZING RAIN AND RAIN WILL
CHANGE TO SNOW. A PERIOD OF SLEET POSSIBLE IN THE TRANSITION. SNOW
AMOUNTS SHOULD BE LIGHT EXCEPT FOR NW OHIO WHERE SLEET AND SNOW WILL
MIX IN QUICKER AND IN FACT COULD BE THE DOMINANT FORM OF PCPN DURING
THE EVENING. COULD BE A SLIPPERY EVENING ACROSS NW OHIO WITH MANY
VARIETIES OF WINTER PCPN. TEMPS MAY TRY TO RISE A DEGREE OR TWO THIS
EVENING ACROSS THE COUNTIES FROM THE I-77 CORRIDOR EAST...THEN START
TO FALL. GFS TEMP GUIDANCE SEEMS REASONABLE TNGT EXCEPT MAY GO A
COUPLE OF DEGREES COLDER NW OHIO.

SOME LEFTOVER SNOW/SNOW SHOWERS TOMORROW...MAINLY NE OH/NW PA EARLY.
SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS MAY DEVELOP WED AFTRN. MAX TEMP FCST WILL
BE A CATEGORY BELOW GUIDANCE AS COLD ADVECTION WILL CONTINUE EARLY
IN THE DAY. WEAK CLIPPER STILL ON TRACK FOR THURSDAY. MOISTURE WILL
BE LIMITED BUT PROBABLY JUST ENOUGH LOW LEVEL JET AND UPWARD MOTION
FOR SOME SNOW SHOWERS TO BREAK OUT. A FEW RAIN SHOWERS ALSO POSSIBLE
AS BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPS RECOVER.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
SYSTEM FRI INTO SATURDAY STILL PROBLEMATIC AS INITIAL EAST COAST
TRACK IS ONCE AGAIN TRENDING WESTWARD. LATEST ECMWF HAS THIS
WESTWARD TREND...WILL SEE IF LATER GFS RUNS AGREE.  UPPER TROUGH
APPROACHES FROM THE WEST ANYWAY AND THEREFORE HAVE CHANCE POPS
FOR FRI INTO SATURDAY. A RELATIVE LULL SUNDAY...BUT THEN A SERIES
OF SHORTWAVES IN GENERAL NORTHWEST FLOW ARE TIMED DIFFERENTLY BY
DIFFERENT MODELS. WITH THIS HAVE A LOT OF CHC POPS AND SEASONABLE
TO BELOW NORMAL TEMPS...FOLLOWING A LOT OF THE GFS GRIDDED MOS
GUID ALONG THE WAY.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
MOSTLY FZRA WILL CONTINUE INTO THIS EVENING ALHTOUGH THE SOUTHERN
TAFS MAY BE ABLE TO WARM ANOTHER DEG OR TWO SO THAT JUST RAIN
OCCURS. MAINLY MVFR CIGS AND VSBYS SHOULD PREVAIL WITH SOME
LOCATIONS WITH PERIODS VFR WHEN PRECIP IS AT A MINIMUM.  THEN MOST
OF THE AREA EXPECTED TO FALL TO IFR CIGS OR LOW END MVFR TOWARD THIS
EVENING. PRECIP WILL CHANGE TO MOSTLY SNOW FROM NW TO SE LATE
TONIGHT AS COLDER AIR IS DRAWN SE OVER THE AREA AS THE LOW MOVES
NORTH INTO PA.  WINDS GUSTING TO 30KT ARE POSSIBLE THIS EVENING.
ANY REMAINING PRECIP WILL SHIFT INTO JUST THE SNOWBELT WED MORNING.
CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE TO VFR FOR TOL...FDY AND MFD TOWARD THE
MID DAY HOURS WED.  THERE IS ALSO A SMALL CHANCE FOR SOME ELEVATED
THUNDER ACTIVITY REST OF THE AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING BUT THREAT
IS SMALL ENOUGH THAT IT NEED NOT BE MENTIONED IN THE TAFS.

.OUTLOOK...REST OF TAFS SHOULD IMPROVE TO VFR REST OF WED INTO WED
EVE.  ANOTHER WEAK LOW MOVING INTO OHIO BY THURSDAY WILL BRING A
CHANCE FOR LIGHT RAIN OR SNOW FOR THU BUT VFR OR HIGH END MVFR
CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL MOST OF THE TIME...THIS WILL CONTINUE INTO
THU NITE WITH MAINLY MVFR CONDITIONS THEN EXPECT IMPROVEMENT BACK TO
VFR FOR FRI AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE AREA.

FORECAST FOR SAT INTO EARLY SUN UP IN THE AIR AS MODELS GREATLY
DIFFER...RANGING FROM A SIGNIFICANT SNOWSTORM TO JUST SCT SHSN.

&&

.MARINE...
LOW END NORTHEAST GALES TO QUICKLY DEVELOP TODAY AND CONTINUE INTO
THE EVENING HOURS. LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK FROM TN THIS MORNING TO
NE PA BY WED MORNING. AS THE LOW PASSES TO THE EAST OF THE LAKE
TOWARD WED MORNING...WINDS WILL COME AROUND TO THE NORTHWEST.
SHIFTING WINDS THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS AS A CLIPPER TAKES A COLD
FRONT ACROSS THE LAKE THURSDAY...SOUTH WINDS TURNING WEST. LOW
PRESSURE THEN DEVELOPS ALONG THE EAST COAST WITH AN INVERTED
TROUGH EXTENDING TOWARD THE LAKE. WINDS WITH THIS WILL BE
NORTHEAST BACKING NORTHWEST. OUTSIDE OF TODAY...GALES NOT EXPECTED
THROUGH THE REST OF THE PERIOD.
