AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
856 PM EST WED FEB 18 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE NORTH OF LAKE ERIE THIS EVENING AND REACH
QUEBEC BY THURSDAY MORNING. A COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW
WILL SWEEP EAST ACROSS THE REGION OVERNIGHT. A TROUGH OF LOW
PRESSURE WILL FOLLOW THE COLD FRONT ON THURSDAY NIGHT. WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FRIDAY AHEAD OF ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM DUE IN
ON SATURDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO PREVIOUS FORECAST. MAIN CHANGES WERE TO
REMOVE THE WORDING FOR THIS EVENING GETTING RID OF THE HIGH CHANCE
OF RAIN SHOWERS. THE COLD FRONT MOVED EAST OF THE AREA THIS
EVENING. FEW LINGERING RAIN SHOWERS FAR EAST. WILL SEE SNOW
SHOWERS OVERSPREADING THE AREA MAINLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. SATELLITE
PICTURE SHOWING THE COLDER CLOUD TOPS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SNOW
SHOWERS STARTING TO MOVE INTO WESTERN OHIO. WENT WITH LIKELY POPS
FOR THE SNOW SHOWERS AFTER MIDNIGHT ENTIRE AREA THOUGH KEPT
EXTREME NORTHEAST OHIO AND NORTHWEST PENNSYLVANIA CAT POPS TOWARD
MORNING. SNOW ACCUMULATION STILL AN INCH OR LESS MOST AREAS...1 TO
2 INCHES NORTHEAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS STATED EARLIER SECTION...850MB TEMPS QUICKLY DROP TO -18 -19C
THURSDAY WITH A STABLE FLOW FROM 270 TO 280 DEGREES THROUGH THE
DAY. EXPECT LAKE MICHIGAN TO GENERATE SHOW SHOWERS ACROSS MUCH OF
THE AREA OUTSIDE OF THE LAKE ERIE SNOW BELT. ACROSS OUR SNOW BELT
EXPECT SNOW SHOWERS TO PERSIST THROUGH THE DAY AND OVERNIGHT. GOOD
LIFT AND FAVORABLE TEMPERATURES ALOFT FOR SNOW GROWTH SHOULD
COMBINE WITH MODERATE INSTABILITY FOR LAKE EFFECT SNOW GENERATION.
WILL KEEP THE SAME END TIME FOR NOW. SOME SHEAR ALONG WITH
BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DISRUPT THE BANDS BY
FRIDAY AFTERNOON. FOR ACCUMS WILL GO WITH 2 TO 4 OR 1 TO 3 INCH
AMOUNTS EACH PERIOD ACROSS THE SNOW BELT FOR A STORM TOTAL FROM 8
TO 12 INCHES. WINDS WILL BE GUSTY SO EXPECT BLOWING AND DRIFTING.
WITH 850MB TEMPS WHAT THEY ARE...DO NOT EXPECT TO GET OUT OF TE
MID 20S THURSDAY. ALLOWED FOR UPPER 20S FRIDAY BUT WILL LIKELY
SPEND MUCH OF THE DAY IN THE MID 20S AS WELL.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
MODELS NOW IN FAIR AGREEMENT WITH SATURDAY LOW.  BOTH LATEST GFS AND
ECMWF TAKE LOW ACROSS LAKE ERIE DURING THE DAY.  THIS WILL PUT THE
HEAVIEST SNOW NORTH OF THE AREA.  FORECAST AREA WILL STILL SEE SNOW
GIVEN COLD TEMPS BUT ACCUMS SHOULD NOT BE MORE THAN A FEW INCHES.
LAKE EFFECT LIKELY BEHIND THE SYSTEM INTO SUNDAY.  THINGS DRY OUT
QUICKLY SUNDAY NIGHT AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE APPROACHES FROM THE
WEST.  THE RIDGE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA ON MONDAY.  WARMER
SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL RETURN ON TUESDAY PUSHING TEMPS TO NEAR NORMAL.
ANOTHER SYSTEM WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST AT MID WEEK.  SOME WARM
AIR ADVECTION PRECIP IS LIKELY ON WEDNESDAY.  THIS PRECIP COULD
START AS MIXED PRECIP.  TEMPS SHOULD WARM ENOUGH IN THE AFTERNOON
FOR MOSTLY RAIN.  TEMPS THE START OF THE LONG TERM WILL BE 5 TO 10
DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.  TEMPS WILL MODERATE BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
COLD FRONT IS THROUGH ALL SITES EXCEPT YNG AND ERI AS OF 23Z. IT
WILL QUICKLY RACE EAST THIS EVENING WITH STRONG GUSTY WESTERLY
WINDS DEVELOPING THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. GUSTY WINDS TO
30-35KTS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE ENTIRE TAF PERIOD.

TOUGH CALL ON HOW TO HANDLE THE PRECIP. THERE ISNT MUCH GOING ON
AT THE MOMENT BEHIND THE FRONT BUT A SECONDARY SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE
THROUGH THE AREA BETWEEN 06-12Z. I EXPECT SNOW SHOWERS TO DEVELOP
DURING THAT TIME FRAME...THEN TAPER OFF AFTER DAYBREAK AS WE GET
INTO SOME SUBSIDENCE ALOFT. SOME SNOW SHOWERS COULD BE IFR
OVERNIGHT. FOLLOWING THE WAVE...LES SHOULD BEGIN TO DEVELOP AND
AFFECT MAINLY CLE/ERI. SOME RESIDUAL SNOW SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE AT
CAK/YNG BUT THE IMPACT AT THESE SITES SHOULD BE MUCH LESS THAN
CLE/ERI. SNOW WILL LIKELY PERSIST DOWNWIND OF THE LAKE THROUGH
EARLY FRIDAY MORNING.

.OUTLOOK...THE SNOW WILL CONTINUE ON AND OFF INTO FRIDAY AS A
SERIES OF TROUGHS ROTATE ACROSS THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES. SNOWS
WILL BE HEAVIEST ACROSS THE SNOWBELT. THE SNOW SHOULD COME TO AN
END FRIDAY AS A WEAK RIDGE MOVES ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES. BUT
THEN MORE SNOW IS EXPECTED SATURDAY AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TRACKS
ACROSS OHIO.

&&

.MARINE...
NO REAL CHANGES TO WIND FORECAST FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS MODELS
HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB IN PREDICTING THE CURRENT STRENGTH AND TRACK OF
THE LOW MOVING ACROSS EXTREME SOUTHERN ONTARIO THIS EVENING. STILL
EXPECT WINDS TO RAMP UP TO ABOUT 30 KNOTS FOR THURSDAY WITH SOME
POSSIBILITY OF REACHING 35 KNOTS THEN DIMINISH FRI AS WEAK RIDGING
MOVES IN.  BIGGER THREAT WILL PROBABLY COME FROM MOVEMENT OF ICE
FLOES IN THE STRONGER WINDS.  A LOW SHOULD MOVE ACROSS NORTHERN OHIO
OR LAKE ERIE SATURDAY TO INDUCE A NE FLOW EARLY SAT SHIFTING TO NW
BY SAT EVENING AS THE LOW MOVES EAST OF THE LAKE. GIVEN THE
UNCERTAINTY IN THE EXACT TRACK OF THE LOW...THE WIND DIRECTION FOR
MIDDAY SAT IS UNCLEAR SO FOR NOW WILL STAY WITH CURRENT FORECAST
TRACK THAT STAYS JUST S OF THE LAKE...MEANING A NE TO NW BACKING
SCENARIO.  WIND SPEEDS AT THIS TIME LOOK TO INCREASE BACK TO ABOUT
15 TO 25 KNOTS THEN SLIGHTLY DIMINISH TO 10 TO 20 KNOTS FOR LATER
SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY WHILE THE DIRECTION SLOWLY BACKS TO WSW.
