AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
855 PM EST TUE JAN 6 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ACROSS OHIO OVERNIGHT AND REACH THE CENTRAL
GREAT LAKES WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. BEHIND THE SYSTEM A COLD FRONT
WILL PASS ACROSS THE AREA. FRIDAY HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM
THE CENTRAL PLAINS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
OVER NORTHWEST OHIO SOME FREEZING DRIZZLE OR LIGHT FREEZING RAIN
WILL OCCUR THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT AS TEMPERATURES REMAIN AT OR
BELOW FREEZING BECAUSE OF THE TRACK OF THE LOW. SOME FLURRIES
COULD ALSO OCCUR. ELSEWHERE...TEMPERATURES WILL SLOWLY WARM. NOT
GETTING MUCH ICE ACCUMULATION ON TREES OR POWER LINES...JUST A LOT
OF ICY ROADS AND SIDEWALKS WITH 100S OF ACCIDENTS AND SPIN OUTS.
CONTEMPLATED CHANGING THE HEADLINE TO A FREEZING RAIN ADVISORY.
WITH TEMPERATURES WARMING IT MIGHT BE CONFUSING TO PEOPLE...SO AT
THE MOMENT WILL NOT CHANGE THE HEADLINE. AT THIS TIME WILL NOT
CANCEL ANY ADVISORIES AS UNTREATED SURFACE WILL STAY ICY AND EVEN
TREATED SURFACES MAY TAKE AWHILE TO MELT AS TEMPERATURES ARE ONLY
SLOWLY RISING. MAY CANCEL SOME ADVISORIES AT 11 PM OVER THE
SOUTHEAST PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA IF ALL LOCATIONS CONTINUE
TO WARM.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
BEHIND THE SYSTEM ON WEDNESDAY WINDS TURN WNW IN COLD ADVECTION.
EXPECT ANY MIX TO CHANGE TO SNOW THROUGH THE MORNING AND EARLY
AFTERNOON. WILL KEEP ACCUMS AROUND AN INCH EXCEPT 1 TO 2 NWRN PA.
EXPECT LAKE EFFECT SNOW TO PERSIST THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO
THURSDAY ACRS NERN OH/NWRN PA. WILL KEEP ACCUMS AT 1 TO 3 OR 1 TO
2 EACH PERIOD AS 850MB TEMPS FALL TO ONLY -10C OR SO. THURSDAY
NIGHT HIGH PRESSURE WILL BEGIN TO BUILD IN ALTHOUGH WILL STILL
NEED LIKELY POPS NWRN PA.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
PATTERN CHANGE WILL BE UNDERWAY FOR THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK
WITH A RIDGE DEVELOPING ACROSS THE WEST COAST AND AN EASTERN U.S.
TROUGH.  THIS WILL ENTRENCH US IN COLDER AIR FOR A LITTLE LONGER
TIME THAN WE HAD SEEN SO FAR.  WITH ANALYSIS FROM HPC...HAVE
FOLLOWED CLOSER TO ECMWF PLACEMENT OF TROUGH AND THEREFORE
SYSTEMS.  HIGH PRESSURE FRIDAY...WITH A LOW TO TRACK ACROSS NORTHERN
OHIO SATURDAY.  THIS IS A COLDER SOLUTION THAN THE GFS WHICH TRACKS
THE LOW ACROSS THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES.  SO HAVE MAINTAINED THE
CHANCES FOR SNOW...ALTHOUGH GFS TAKES RAIN AND ZERO LINE FURTHER
NORTH REACHING CENTRAL OHIO. A COUPLE MORE WEAK SYSTEMS AFFECT THE
AREA EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE UPPER TROUGH BEGINS TO TAKE SHAPE AND
DEVELOP OVER THE EASTERN U.S.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
MESS OF AN AVIATION FORECAST THIS EVENING. CONDITIONS FOR THE MOST
PART ARE BOUNCING BETWEEN IFR AND MVFR AND THIS WILL CONTINUE TO
BE THE CASE THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. CONDITIONS WILL EVENTUALLY
DROP TO IFR AT ALL SITES OVERNIGHT AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES OVERHEAD.
I EXPECT IFR CIGS TO BE THE MAIN STORY OVERNIGHT BUT VSBYS WILL
OCCASIONALLY DROP TO IFR AS WELL.

THE BIGGER CONCERN IS PRECIP TYPE. I AM EXPECTING FZDZ AT TOL/FDY
ALL NIGHT AND FZRA CHANGING TO RAIN ELSEWHERE. MOS TEMPS ARE WAY
TOO WARM TO START WITH...ACCORDING TO THE MAV/MET/FWC ALL SITES
SHOULD ALREADY BE ABOVE FREEZING. I AM GOING WITH THE IDEA THAT
TEMPS WILL CLIMB ABOVE FREEZING AT CAK/YNG AROUND 03Z AND AT
CLE/MFD/ERI CLOSER TO 05Z. TOL/FDY WILL EITHER NEVER MAKE IT ABOVE
FREEZING OR WILL ONLY BE ABOVE FREEZING FOR A VERY SHORT TIME.
PRECIP WILL BE LIGHT AT THESE SITES THOUGH. PRECIP WILL
TRANSITION TO SNOW LATE TOMORROW MORNING/AFTERNOON AS LOW PRESSURE
MOVES OUT OF THE AREA AND AS COLDER AIR SURGES INTO THE REGION.

OUTLOOK...LAKE EFFECT WILL SET UP EAST OF CLEVELAND WEDNESDAY.
LAKE EFFECT TO CONTINUE THROUGH THURSDAY AS A SERIES OF TROUGHS
ROTATE OVER THE GREAT LAKES. NEXT BEST CHANCE FOR VFR FRIDAY...AS
HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OVER THE OHIO VALLEY/LOWER GREAT LAKES.
ANOTHER COLD FRONT SATURDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
WITH LOW PRESSURE EXPECTED TO TRACK NE ACROSS LAKE ERIE EARLY WED
MORNING...THE DEVELOPING EAST FLOW SHOULD QUICKLY VEER AROUND TO SW
WED MORNING AND INCREASE TO ABOUT 30 KNOTS WED AFTERNOON AND
CONTINUE AT ABOUT THIS SPEED THROUGH THU UNTIL DIMINISHING OCCURS
THU NIGHT...THUS SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS WILL OCCUR.  RIDGING MOVING
THROUGH THE LAKE ON FRI SHOULD MEAN RELATIVELY LIGHT AND CHANGEABLE
WINDS WITH A SE FLOW LIKELY TO SET UP BY FRI NIGHT.  ANOTHER LOW
APPEARS ON TRACK TO CROSS THE LAKE EARLY SATURDAY ONCE AGAIN CAUSING
A QUICK SHIFT BACK TO SW THEN W TO NW FLOW THE REST OF SAT INTO SAT
EVENING. MODELS INDICATE THAT WIND SPEEDS BY SAT EVENING COULD BE
NEAR OR AT MINIMAL GALE FORCE BUT THEN DIMINISH SUNDAY AS WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS OHIO.
