AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
133 AM EDT SUN SEP 27 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER ILLINOIS WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS CENTRAL OHIO
TONIGHT. A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION MONDAY MORNING
BRING WINDY AND COOLER CONDITIONS. LAKE SHOWERS MAY PERSIST IN THE
WAKE OF THIS STORM SYSTEM INTO WEDNESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
FRONT NOW NEAR A MFD TO CMH LINE. EAST OF THE FRONT OCCASIONAL
SHOWERS WITH A FEW RUMBLES OF THUNDER NEAR THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY.
WEST OF THE FRONT SHOWERS DECREASE SIGNIFICANTLY. AT THIS RATE
FRONT MAY BE NEAR THE OH/PA BORDER BY 6 AM. WEST OF THAT LINE HAD
SHOWERS BECOMING SCATTERED...WHILE EAST OF THE LINE JUST KEPT
OCCASIONAL SHOWERS. PUT IN SOME PTCHY DENSE FOG OVER NW OH DUE TO
PARTIAL CLEARLING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE TOWARD NORTHERN OHIO AND NW PA LATE
SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING. LOOKS LIKE A QUICK SHOT OF
SHOWERS...MAYBE SOME THUNDER ALONG AND JUST AHEAD OF THE COLD
FRONT AS IT PASSES. WILL THEN HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE WINDS.
WINDS APPEAR TO AT LEAST APPROACH ADVISORY LEVELS FOR MONDAY
AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING AS THE STRONG COLD ADVECTION SLAMS INTO
THE REGION. IN THE WAKE OF THE STORM SYSTEM THE MIDDLE LEVELS OF
THE ATMOSPHERE COOL SIGNIFICANTLY. THIS COMBINED WITH A WARM LAKE
WILL CREATE PLENTY OF INSTABILITY FOR SHOWERS FOR NE OH INTO NW
PA. THIS INSTABILITY WILL LIKELY BE ENOUGH TO GENERATE AT LEAST
SOME THUNDER. MAY HAVE TO WATCH PORTIONS OF NE OH INTO NW PA FOR
SOME FLOODING ISSUES MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY NIGHT IF ANY BANDS
OF SHOWERS CAN PERSIST FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE COOLER ON MONDAY WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE BUT
WILL CHILL FURTHER BY TUESDAY. SEVERAL LOCATIONS ON TUESDAY WILL
STRUGGLE TO GET OUT OF THE 50S...ESPECIALLY WHERE THE LAKE SHOWERS
OCCUR.

LOCATIONS THAT SEE ANY CLEARING BY TUESDAY NIGHT MAY DIP TO THE
LOWER 40S. MAY EVEN SEE A FEW UPPER 30S FOR INLAND LOCATIONS.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
ONLY REAL PROBLEM TO DEAL WITH IS THE BATTLE BETWEEN HOW MUCH DRY
AIR WORKS INTO THE AREA COMPARED TO HOW STRONG THE LAKES WILL BE TO
OVERCOME THE DRY AIR AND PRODUCE LAKE EFFECT RAIN SHOWERS IN THE
NORTHEAST ON THURSDAY. WILL GO WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OVER THE
NORTHEAST SNOW BELT AREAS AS FLOW BECOMES ALIGNED TO PRODUCE THE
LAKE RAIN SHOWERS.

REST OF THE FORECAST AREA SHOULD BE DRY THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT
WITH THE NEXT CHANCE FOR SHOWERS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE REGION
FRIDAY NIGHT WITH A COLD FRONT.  THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE
THROUGH THE REGION SATURDAY MORNING AND WILL SEE SOME LINGERING LAKE
EFFECT RAIN SHOWERS GOING INTO THE WEEKEND.

TEMPERATURES WILL SEE A WARMING TREND INTO FRIDAY AND IF TIMING OF
THE COLD FRONT HOLDS TRUE THEN WE WILL LIKELY SEE THE WARMEST
TEMPERATURES DURING THE MORNING ON SATURDAY.  COLD AIR ADVECTION
WILL KNOCK THEM DOWN THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
STILL HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE PRECIP TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA. MOST
OF IT SHOULD BE GONE BY 12Z. AN AREA OF MID LEVEL CLOUDINESS HAS
MOVED OVER AREA. THIS SHOULD LIMIT THE THREAT FOR WIDESPREAD IFR
FOG OVERNIGHT. CLEARING COULD MAKE IT TO KFDY AND KTOL JUST BEFORE
SUNRISE SO WILL GIVE THOSE TWO SITES A TEMPO FOR IFR FOG. IFR CIGS
AT KYNG AND KCAK SHOULD IMPROVE OVERNIGHT AS WELL. AFT 12Z...
MAINLY VFR WEATHER IS EXPECTED. MOST LOCATIONS WILL LOOSE THEIR
CIGS BY MIDDAY. LIGHT S FLOW WILL BECOME SW TO W DURING THE DAY.
INCREASING SW IS EXPECTED AFT 00Z.

.OUTLOOK...WIDESPREAD MVFR CONDITIONS IN SHOWERS MONDAY INTO
TUESDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
WINDS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE AS WE APPROACH MONDAY AND TUESDAY.
STORM SYSTEM WILL PRODUCE A STRONG GRADIENT ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY.  I ANTICIPATE
WINDS WILL DIMINISH A BIT DURING THE MORNING HOURS WITH FRONTAL
PASSAGE BUT THEN INCREASE AGAIN IN THE AFTERNOON WITH THE COLD AIR
ADVECTION. WILL BE HOISTING A GALE WATCH FROM 06Z SUNDAY EVENING
THROUGH 15Z TUESDAY.  WINDS EXPECTED TO INCREASE TO 40 KNOT GALES
MONDAY AFTERNOON AND WILL LIKELY PRODUCE SOME PRETTY HEFTY WAVES ON
THE LAKE.  I ANTICIPATE WINDS WILL DIMINISH DURING THE AFTERNOON ON
TUESDAY AND SHOW A GRADUAL DECREASE THROUGH THURSDAY.  WE MORE THAN
LIKELY WILL NEED TO KEEP SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES GOING ONCE THE GALES
DROP OFF INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK.

&&
