AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
200 PM EDT FRI MAY 8 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK WARM FRONT WILL HANG OVER THE AREA INTO SATURDAY UNTIL A LOW
MOVES ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE GREAT LAKES PULLING A TRAILING
COLD FRONT EAST ACROSS THE REGION.  CHILLY HIGH PRESSURE IN THE
NORTHERN PLAINS WILL SLOWLY BUILD TOWARD THE AREA THROUGH EARLY NEXT
WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
DEBRIS FROM CONVECTION MOVING ALONG AND NEAR THE WEAK FRONTAL
BOUNDARY STALLED OVER THE REGION SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO KEEP FOG IN
CHECK THIS MORNING.  ABUNDANT MOISTURE AT MID AND LOW LEVELS SHOULD
SUPPORT FAIRLY WIDESPREAD CLOUDS TODAY. WEAK SURFACE AND UPPER
FEATURES MOVING NEAR THE AREA WILL LIKELY BE ENOUGH TO TRIGGER SCT
TO NUMEROUS CONVECTIVE CELLS SO WILL RAISE POPS WELL ABOVE PREVIOUS
FORECAST. SOME OF THE STORMS IN THE SW COULD BE LOCALLY STRONG WITH
THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ISOLATED SEVERE STORM OR TWO.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
UPPER TROUGH DIGGING SE FROM NORTHERN PLAINS INTO LAKE ERIE AREA
INTO SAT WILL LEAD TO DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE MOVING ACROSS SOUTHERN
PART OF THE LAKES WITH TRAILING STRONG COLD FRONT PULLED SE ACROSS
THE CWA IN THE WAKE OF THE LOW SATURDAY.  MODELS TRY AND SHOW A
SEPARATION IN MOISTURE AND PRECIP BETWEEN SYSTEM IN OHIO VALLEY AND
LOW MOVING ACROSS THE LAKES. EXPECT TO SEE A NOTICEABLE DECREASE IN
CONVECTIVE COVERAGE TONIGHT AS AIRMASS STABILIZES SOME THEN RAMP
BACK UP ON SAT ALONG AND AHEAD OF COLD FRONT IN THE EAST HALF OF
AREA.

MUCH COLDER AND DRIER AIR SPREADS IN SAT NIGHT AND CONTINUES THROUGH
MONDAY AS HIGH IN PLAINS SLOWLY MOVES TOWARD AREA WHILE KEEPING COLD
W TO NW FLOW GOING.  WRAP MOISTURE SHOWN MOVING INTO THE SNOWBELT
SAT NIGHT AND HANGING AROUND THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. LAKE TEMPS
ROUGHLY AROUND 10 C AND 850 MB TEMPS AROUND ZERO MAY PROVIDE JUST
ENOUGH INSTABILITY TO TRIGGER A FEW SHRA FOR THE SNOWBELT AREA
THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT.  QUESTION WILL BE HOW MUCH OF THE CLOUDS ARE
ABLE TO MOVE OUT LATE SUNDAY NIGHT IN THE NE IN TIME TO PROVIDE SOME
DECENT RADIATIONAL COOLING TO OCCUR. THINK NW FLOW WILL BUFFER LAKE
SHORE AREA BUT FURTHER INLAND AND ACROSS REST OF CWA EXPECT TO SEE
LOWS IN 37 TO 39 RANGE. IF WINDS END UP BEING ON THE BOTTOM SIDE OF
5 KTS AT THIS TIME COULD SEE AREAS OF FROST DEVELOP SO THIS WILL
NEED TO BE WATCHED CLOSELY FOR POTENTIAL ADVISORY BY SUNDAY.  MONDAY
NIGHT LOOKS EVEN COLDER IN THE EAST HALF AS THE HIGH MOVES OVERHEAD
SO FROST THERE LOOKS TO BE A GOOD BET.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE AT FIRST ON TUESDAY AND THEN COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH
THURSDAY. THE THREAT OF PRECIPITATION WILL BEGIN
WEDNESDAY...ESPECIALLY IN THE AFTERNOON. AT THIS TIME WILL NOT PUT
THAT RESOLUTION IN THE GRIDS. THE THREAT CONTINUES THROUGH THURSDAY
UNTIL THE FRONT CLEARS THE AREA. GFS/12Z ECMWF ARE IN MODERATE
AGREEMENT WITH THIS SYSTEM. THE GUIDANCE TEMPERATURES LOOK OK. IT
LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE WINDY WEDNESDAY NIGHT AHEAD OF THE FRONT.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP
ACROSS THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON AS DAY TIME HEATING
TAKES PLACE. THE BEST CHANCE FOR CONVECTION WILL BE ON A LINE FROM
CLEVELAND TO MANSFIELD EAST. SOME ACTIVITY WILL DEVELOP WEST OF
THAT LINE BUT I ONLY ANTICIPATE BRIEF SHOWERS IN THIS AREA.

AFTER SUNSET...THERE SHOULD BE A PERIOD WHERE ACTIVITY DIMINISHES
FOR A LITTLE WHILE AS WEAK NEGATIVE VORTICITY ADVECTION MOVES INTO THE
REGION. THEN FAIRLY GOOD SHOT OF POSITIVE VORTICITY ADVECTION
ALOFT ROTATES EAST INTO THE REGION AND THIS WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR
MORE WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SATURDAY MORNING
AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT.

COLD FRONT WILL PUSH EAST ACROSS THE AREA WITH GOOD MIXING DOWN TO
THE SURFACE AND THIS WILL CREATE HAZARDOUS WIND CONDITIONS FOR
AVIATION INTERESTS. WINDS SUSTAINED AROUND 28 KNOTS WITH GUSTS TO
40 KNOTS CAN BE EXPECTED AFTER THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE SATURDAY MORNING
AND CONTINUES THROUGH THE ENTIRE DAY.

OUTLOOK...VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
EXCEPT FOR THE THREAT OF THUNDER NO WIND PROBLEMS ON THE LAKE UNTIL
SATURDAY. WITH THE STRONG LOW PASSING TO THE NORTH PLENTY OF
WIND...AT LEAST A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY. THIS SYSTEM WILL HAVE TO BE
MONITORED FOR A POSSIBLE GALE. THE WINDS WILL START DECREASING
SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY...HOWEVER...THEY WILL REMAIN HIGH ENOUGH
FOR A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY.

HIGH PRESSURE AND LIGHTER WINDS MOVE IN FOR EARLY IN THE WORK WEEK
AND THEN MORE WIND AND MARINE HEADLINES FOR MID-WEEK WITH THE NEXT
COLD FRONT.
