Area forecast discussion, Jun 19, 10:01 PM EDT, 2 hours 45 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
1001 PM EDT FRI JUN 19 2009
.SYNOPSIS...
A WARM FRONT NEAR LAKE ERIE WILL DRIFT NORTH OVER THE LAKE
TONIGHT AND THEN SLIDE BACK SOUTH AS A COLD FRONT SATURDAY
MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE FROM THE PLAINS STATES WILL MOVE EAST
ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES SUNDAY INTO MONDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...A ROUND OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS MOVED THROUGH LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE
NEXT AREA SEEMS TO HAVE THE STRONGEST OVER MICHIGAN AND OVER
CENTRAL INDIANA AND THE NEXT HEAVIEST ROUND MAY MISS MOST OF THE
FORECAST AREA. ATTM WILL CONTINUE THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH AND NOT
EXPAND IT. ON THE EDGE ABOUT THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY/...
MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS THAT THE SHOWER/STORMS WOULD BE ESSENTIALLY
EAST OF THE AREA BY 9-10 AM SATURDAY AND STILL BELIEVE THIS TO
MAINLY BE THE CASE BUT AS SHORT WAVE CROSSES THE TOP OF THE RIDGE IT
IS PROGGED TO DIG SOUTHEAST ON SATURDAY. IN TURN... THE MODELS
DEEPEN THE SURFACE LOW ACROSS PA. THEY MAY BE A LITTLE OVERDONE...
BUT WITH THE SURFACE LOW SLOW TO MOVE OFF TO THE EAST AND DEEP
MOISTURE CIRCULATING AROUND A DEEPENING UPPER LOW I HAVE NOTICED IN
THE PAST THAT NUMEROUS SHOWERS CAN CONTINUE TO DEVELOP IN THE
VICINITY OF THE SURFACE LOW. COULD BE THUNDERSTORMS BUT WOULD THINK
THAT IT WOULD BE A HEAVY RAIN CONCERN ON SATURDAY...MAINLY ACROSS
NE/EAST CENTRAL OHIO. WITH A CLOUDY NW FLOW ON SATURDAY TEMPS MAY
NOT RISE MUCH....THEY SHOULD HOLD IN THE 70S EXCEPT FOR PERHAPS NW
OHIO WHERE THE DRIER AIR WILL FILTER IN AND SOME SUNSHINE WILL BREAK
OUT.
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD EAST SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. DID NOT
SPEND A LOT OF TIME ANALYZING THE MODELS BUT STILL THINKING WE
SHOULD SEE DRY WEATHER AND TEMPS NEAR NORMAL. WILL LIKELY BE A LAKE
BREEZE BOTH DAYS.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MID WEEK. BOTH THE
ECMWF AND GFS ENSEMBLES TRY TO BREAK DOWN THE RIDGE THURSDAY TO
ALLOW OF A WEAK FRONT TO MOVE THROUGH LATE IN THE DAY. PUT IN CHC
POPS FOR TSRA THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. MODELS DIVERGE LATE
FRIDAY WITH THE GFS MOVING A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM INTO THE MID
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY FRIDAY...WHILE THE ECMWF CONTINUES TO HAVE LARGE
AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE GREAT LAKES. FOR NOW WILL KEEP
FRIDAY DRY.
&&
.AVIATION /02Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
FIRST ROUND OF SEVERE WEATHER HAS EXITED TO THE EAST THIS EVENING.
TIMING ON THE NEXT ROUND MOVING INTO THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF
INDIANA WILL BRING IT INTO THE WESTERN FORECAST AREA AROUND
MIDNIGHT. TIMED THE ACTIVITY FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE AREA
DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. EXPECTING STRONG GUSTY WINDS AND
HEAVY RAIN WITH THE THUNDERSTORMS.
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE EAST OF THE AREA DURING THE MORNING
HOURS ALLOWING FOR IMPROVING CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES FROM WEST
TO EAST. SOME LOWER MVFR MIST WILL OCCUR IN MOIST ENVIRONMENT
OVERNIGHT.
ERIE SHOULD BE THE LAST AREA TO GO VFR TOMORROW AFTERNOON.
OUTLOOK...SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY VFR.
&&
.MARINE...
WARM FRONT JUST SOUTH OF THE LAKE THIS AFTERNOON WILL CONTINUE
PUSHING NORTH OVER THE LAKE TONIGHT. THE POSSIBILITY OF THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS. LOW
PRESSURE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS WARM FRONT WILL CROSS OVER THE
SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES SATURDAY MORNING...AT WHICH TIME THE COLD FRONT
WILL ALSO CROSS OVER THE LAKE. ONCE THE COLD FRONT PASSES OVER WINDS
WILL TURN FROM SOUTHWESTERLY TO WEST AND NORTHWEST BY LATE SATURDAY.
ALSO ONCE THE COLD FRONT PASSES THROUGH THE THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS
WILL DIMINISH. HIGH PRESSURE WILL GRADUALLY BUILD OVER THE LAKE
THROUGH SUNDAY. DURING THAT TIME WINDS WILL CONTINUE OUT OF THE
NORTHWEST BUT GRADUALLY SUBSIDE BY SUNDAY EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL REMAIN IN VICINITY OF THE LAKE INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK ALLOWING
FOR RELATIVELY LIGHT WINDS AND WAVES OVER THE LAKE. HOWEVER...THE
LIGHT WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE MORE ONSHORE INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK
WHICH MAY ALLOW FOR WAVES TO APPROACH THE 1 TO 3 OR 2 TO 4 FOOT
RANGE.
WINDS WILL TURN TO THE SOUTHEAST TONIGHT AS WARM FRONT NOW ACROSS
THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. POTENTIAL
FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ON THE LAKE FRIDAY AS FRONT MOVES NORTHEAST
ACROSS THE LAKE. GREATEST POTENTIAL WOULD BE FRIDAY MORNING MAINLY
OVER THE WESTERN HALF...THEN FOR THE ENTIRE LAKE TOMORROW AFTERNOON
AND EVENING AS STORMS REDEVELOP NEAR THE WARM FRONT. STORMS WILL
MOVE EAST FRIDAY NIGHT...BUT CHOPPY CONDITIONS EXPECTED SATURDAY AS
A COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE LAKE SATURDAY MORNING. WINDS AND
WAVES LIGHTEN UP SUNDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OVER THE LAKE.
