AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
421 AM EDT TUE OCT 6 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
DEEP LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE THROUGH THE CENTRAL PART OF THE GREAT
LAKES TONIGHT AND PUSH A STRONG COLD FRONT RAPIDLY EAST ACROSS OUR
AREA.  HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE UP THE OHIO VALLEY LATE WEDNESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY NIGHT. ANOTHER STRONG COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE EAST
ACROSS THE REGION FRIDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE THEN BUILDING INTO THE
UPPER OHIO VALLEY BY SUNDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM TUESDAY EVENING/...
INCREASING FLOW AT ALL LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE WILL SPREAD
INCREASING AND LOWERING OF CLOUDS ACROSS THE CWA TODAY. QUESTION IS
HOW FAR EAST SHRA WILL OCCUR BY THE END OF THE DAY AND WHETHER
AIRMASS WILL BECOME UNSTABLE ENOUGH FOR TSRA. THINKING OF PREVIOUS
FORECAST STILL LOOKS IN LINE SO ONLY MINOR CHANGES NEEDED SUCH AS TO
ADD IN A BIT MORE RESOLUTION TO PRECIP THREAT AS THE DAY PROGRESSES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM TUESDAY EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
STRONG COLD FRONT TO RACE ACROSS MOST OF CWA THROUGH 06Z TONIGHT.
CATEGORICAL POPS REMAIN FOR BAND OF SHRA/TSRA TO ACCOMPANY THE
FRONT. STRONG COLD ADVECTION WITH 850 MB FLOW UP TO 60 KTS NEAR LERI
SETS THE STAGE FOR STRONG WINDS...SO WIND HEADLINES MAY NEEDED AS
GUSTS OF 50 MPH POSSIBLE...BUT WILL DEFER TO BEST COLLABORATION. DRY
SLOT QUICKLY MOVES IN BEHIND THE FRONT SO CONVECTIVE PRECIP SHOULD
BE DONE SOON AFTER FROPA. WRAP MOISTURE QUICKLY ARRIVES SO SCT SHRA
AIDED BY LAKE ENHANCEMENT SHOULD BE DEVELOPING BY
DAYBREAK...ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTH. STRONG FLOW AND HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDING IN FROM THE SW SHOULD PUSH SHRA THREAT INTO JUST THE
SNOWBELT FOR THE AFTERNOON. SHRA SHOULD END IN THE SNOWBELT BY
MIDNIGHT WED NIGHT AS DRIER AIR AND SUBSIDENCE WINS OUT.

BRIEF PERIOD OF DRY WEATHER SHOULD OCCUR INTO MIDDAY THU. FAST
MOVING MID AND UPPER FLOW WILL BRING MOISTURE BACK INTO THE WEST BY
LATE THU WITH THREAT FOR SHRA BY LATE IN THE DAY STILL LOOKING
POSSIBLE. SHRA AND POSSIBLE TSRA CONTINUE TO LOOK LIKELY TO SPREAD
WEST TO EAST THU NIGHT AND FRI. MODELS DIFFER ON STRENGTH OF LOW
ALONG THE FRONT BUT BOTTOM LINE IS GOOD SURGE OF GULF MOISTURE
COMBINED WITH ANOTHER STRONG COLD FRONT SHOULD MEAN WIDESPREAD
PRECIP. DIFFERENCE IN TAPERING OFF OF THE PRECIP FOR FRI NIGHT BY
THE MODELS. WILL ADJUST POPS TO SHOW BETTER CHANCE FOR THE EAST HALF
FRI NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
SOME MODELS DIFFERENCES ON THE TRACK AND STRENGTH OF THE SURFACE LOW
ON FRIDAY BUT MODELS ARE SIMILAR OVER THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY
NEXT WEEK AS THE TROUGH ALOFT DEEPENS AND COLDER AIR PUSHES
SOUTHEAST IN SEVERAL SURGES. OBVIOUSLY THE FIRST SURGE WILL COME
FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. THE ECMWF IS HINTING AT A SECONDARY COLD
FRONT. NOT SURE ABOUT A SPECIFIC FRONT/TROUGH BUT CLOUDS AND A FEW
LAKE EFFECT SHOWERS WILL LIKELY PERSIST...ESPECIALLY ACROSS NE OH/NW
PA. FLOW APPEARS TO BACK ON SUNDAY AS THE SURFACE HIGH SLIDES SOUTH
OF THE AREA. THIS COULD SEND ANY LAKE EFFECT TOWARD BUFFALO AND
RESULT IN A DRY DAY ALTHOUGH CLOUDS MAY BE INCREASING AHEAD OF THE
NEXT SHORT WAVE.

GFS APPEARS TO STRONG WITH THE DEVELOPING SURFACE LOW ON MONDAY BUT
WILL LIKELY BE A CLOUDY DAY WITH AT LEAST A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AS
THE NEXT SHORT WAVE SWINGS THROUGH THE DEEPENING TROUGH. THE MORE
RAIN WE GET ON MONDAY THE MORE TEMPERATURES WILL BE SUPPRESSED AND
TEMPERATURES COULD VERY WELL HOLD IN THE 40S. POTENTIAL FOR SOME WET
SNOW MONDAY NIGHT ACROSS THE SNOWBELT BUT WILL WAIT FOR MORE MODEL
CONSISTENCY BEFORE PUTTING IT INTO THE FORECAST 7 DAYS OUT.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
HIGH CLOUDS SPREADING ACROSS THE AREA WITH SOME MIDDLE CLOUDS
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AS SSE FLOW INCREASES THIS MORNING AND EARLY
AFTERNOON. SHOWERS COULD WILL DEVELOP FROM WEST TO EAST LATER THIS
AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT WITH A
LINE OF SHOWERS EXPECTED WITH FRONTAL PASSAGE THIS EVENING. MODELS
NOT INDICATING MUCH INSTABILITY BUT WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE THERE
IS OFTEN ENOUGH UPWARD MOTION FOR A FEW LIGHTING FLASHES. WILL
MENTION CB IN THE WESTERN TAFS WITH FRONTAL PASSAGE. WIND WILL
PICK UP NOTICEABLY AFTER FRONTAL PASSAGE AND ULTIMATELY THERE
COULD BE A A SEVERAL HOUR PERIODS WITH GUSTS OVER 40 KNOTS LATER
TONIGHT AND EARLY WEDNESDAY.

.OUTLOOK...MVFR CONDITIONS LIKELY WEDNESDAY FOR NE OH/NW PA IN
LAKE EFFECT CLOUDS AND SHOWERS. NON VFR CONDITIONS DEVELOPING
THURSDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUING FRIDAY WITH RAIN. NON-VFR CONDITIONS
WILL LIKELY LINGER SATURDAY WITH CLOUDS/SHOWERS.

&&

.MARINE...
WILL BE RELATIVELY TRANQUIL ON THE LAKE... AT LEAST FOR A FEW MORE
HOURS. THE WSW WIND CONTINUES TO SLOWLY DIMINISH ON THE EAST END OF
THE LAKE AND THE SOUTH FLOW HAS DEVELOPED ELSEWHERE. SOUTH FLOW WILL
INCREASE TODAY AHEAD OF THE DEEPENING LOW WHICH WILL TRACK ACROSS
THE UPPER MIDWEST AND CENTRAL GREAT LAKES...A FAVORABLE TRACK FOR
WIND ON LAKE ERIE. WIND WILL REALLY RAMP UP WITH FRONTAL PASSAGE
TONIGHT FROM WEST TO EAST AND STRONGEST SURGE WILL COME A FEW HOURS
AFTER THE FRONT AS THE ISALLOBARIC SURGE PUSHES ACROSS THE LAKE FROM
WEST TO EAST. 40 KNOT GALES SEEM LIKELY. WINDS WILL SLOWLY DECREASE
ON WEDNESDAY FROM WEST TO EAST BUT IT WILL TAKE UNTIL EVENING FOR
THE GALES TO END ON THE EAST END OF THE LAKE.

STILL SOME MODEL DIFFERENCES IN THE STRENGTH AND TRACK OF THE NEXT
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM ON FRIDAY. FORECAST IS BASED ON THE MAJORITY OF
THE MODELS WITH A RELATIVELY WEAK SURFACE LOW TRACKING ACROSS THE
EASTERN GREAT LAKES. THE OPERATIONAL GFS CONTINUES TO PUT A STRONGER
LOW ACROSS THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES WHICH WOULD RESULT IN HIGHER
WINDS/WAVES. TROUGH ALOFT DEEPENS AND COLD  ADVECTION INCREASES OVER
THE WEEKEND AND EXPECT THE LAKE TO CONTINUE TO BE QUITE CHOPPY.
