AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
146 PM EDT WED MAY 27 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A SLOW MOVING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE MIDWEST WILL MOVE INTO
LOWER MICHIGAN THIS EVENING AND ACROSS SOUTHERN ONTARIO ON
THURSDAY. A WEAK COLD FRONT EXTENDING SOUTHWEST FROM THE LOW WILL
MOVE EAST ACROSS THE AREA LATE TONIGHT AND THURSDAY. WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE AREA ON FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
MORNING SOUNDINGS ARE QUITE MOIST. CONVECTIVE TEMP IS ONLY AROUND
75F WHICH WE ARE ALREADY AT OR APPROACHING (AT 11AM). NICE PLUME
OF MOISTURE ON THE WATER VAPOR LOOP SLIDING NORTHEASTWARD EAST OF
I-71. EXPECT SHOWERS AND TSTORMS TO FILL IN ACROSS THIS AREA
ESPECIALLY TOWARD THE OHIO PENNSYLVANIA BORDER AND EAST. SLIGHTLY
DRIER AIR ALOFT SLIDING ACROSS NW OHIO ON THE BACK SIDE OF THIS
MOISTURE PLUME. THIS WILL RESULT IN STEEPENING LAPSE RATES AND
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND STORMS ACROSS NW OHIO. IN BETWEEN...ALONG THE
I-71 CORRIDOR...THE SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL FILL IN A LITTLE
SLOWER BUT EVENTUALLY THERE WILL BE QUITE A BIT OF SHOWERS AND
STORMS EVERYWHERE. FREEZING LEVEL IS A LITTLE LOW...AROUND
13K...BUT WITH LITTLE WIND ALOFT AND LITTLE SHEAR AND SO MUCH
MOISTURE... MOST OF THE STORMS WILL BE RAINERS. CANNOT RULE OUT A
STORM OR TOO GETTING ENERGETIC ESPECIALLY EARLY THIS AFTERNOON
WHILE THERE ARE FEWER STORMS AND MORE INSTABILITY AVAILABLE... BUT
DO NOT EXPECT A BIG SEVERE WEATHER DAY. LOWERED MAX TEMPS YTOWN TO
ASHTABULA TO MEADVILLE AREA TO THE MID/UPPER 70S WHERE IT WILL BE
CLOUDY AND SHOWERY. LOWER 80S ELSEWHERE WITH A FEW MID 80S BEFORE
THE CLOUDS AND SHOWERS FILL IN. SHOWERS/STORMS WILL GRADUALLY
DIMINISH TONIGHT BUT PROBABLY NOT TOTALLY DIE OUT GIVEN THE
AVAILABLE MOISTURE AND NEARNESS OF THE SURFACE LOW/WEAK FRONT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
DEEP MOISTURE REMAINING OVER THE AREA TONIGHT THOUGH SHOULD SEE
SOMEWHAT DECREASE IN COVERAGE WITH MOST STORMS DIURNALLY
DRIVEN...WILL HAVE LIKELY POPS EARLY THEN CHANCE THE REST OF THE
NIGHT. FRONT MOVES THROUGH SLOWLY ON THURSDAY. BEST CHANCE FOR
SHOWERS WILL BE IN THE EAST AS FRONT MOVES THROUGH. WILL KEEP
CHANCE POPS FOR THE FAR WEST BUT LIKELY ELSEWHERE. LINGERING
SHOWERS IN THE EAST THURSDAY NIGHT AS THE FRONT CLEARS THE AREA.
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE ON FRIDAY SHOULD BRING DRY WEATHER TO ALL OF
THE AREA. A TROUGH OR WEAKENING FRONT MOVES THROUGH ON SATURDAY.
THE LOW ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM PASSING WELL TO THE NORTH AND
NOT MUCH OF RETURN IN MOISTURE WILL ONLY HOLD ONTO SLIGHT CHANCE
POPS IN THE EAST FOR NOW. HIGH PRESSURE MOVES IN ON SUNDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM WILL BE AFFECTING THE AREA DURING THE LONG
TERM PERIOD. GFS AND ECMWF SHOWING DIFFERENCES WITH THIS SYSTEM.
APPEARS AREA COULD SEE SOME PRECIP ON MONDAY AS A WARM FRONT LIFTS
NE ACROSS THE REGION. ECMWF KEEPS BRUNT OF PRECIP N OF THE AREA
WHICH SEEMS A LITTLE UNREALISTIC. EVENTUALLY A COLD FRONT WILL
MOVE ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA ON TUESDAY. A LINE OF SHOWERS/STORMS
COULD DEVELOP AHEAD OF THIS FRONT. WILL END UP NEEDING SEVERAL
PERIODS OF CHANCE POPS FOR THE AREA. HOPEFULLY LATER SHIFTS WILL
BE ABLE TO FINE TUNE FORECAST AS MODELS COME INTO BETTER
AGREEMENT. EXPECT TEMPS BOTH MONDAY AND TUESDAY TO BE ABOVE
NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
A SMATTERING OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS WESTERN OHIO WILL
MAKE EASTWARD PROGRESS THIS AFTERNOON BEGINNING TO AFFECT CAK/CLE
AND EVENTUALLY YNG. MOST OF THE ACTIVITY WILL BE DIURNAL...PEAKING
HERE IN THE MAX HEATING. SO EXPECT ACTIVITY TO DIMINISH TOWARD
SUNSET. MAIN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE/COLD FRONT STILL OFF TO THE
WEST AND THURSDAYS WEATHER WILL BE AFFECTED BY THAT. OVERNIGHT
EXPECT CEILINGS AND/OR VSBY TO BE IN THE MVFR RANGE. SOME IFR
POSSIBLE WHERE IT DOES RAIN AND LOWER LEVELS VERY MOIST.

OUTLOOK...NON-VFR CIGS/VSBYS THROUGH THURSDAY IN SCATTERED
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS.
