AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
852 AM EST FRI JAN 9 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A LARGE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
WILL MOVE ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES AND UPPER OHIO VALLEY TODAY
LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ACROSS SOUTHERN SATURDAY AND THEN OFF THE
MID ATLANTIC COAST SATURDAY NIGHT. LOW PRESSURE WILL CROSS THE
CENTRAL LAKES MONDAY...DRAGGING A STRONG ARCTIC COLD FRONT ACROSS
THE AREA MONDAY NIGHT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL CONTINUE FOR THE ERIE AREA. AREA WEB CAMS
AND REPORTS INDICATE HEAVY SNOW AT TIMES SO HAVE ADDED THE LAKE
SHORE OF ERIE COUNTY. HEAVIEST AMOUNTS MAY BE UP AROUND NORTHEAST
PA AS THE WINDS DIRECT THE BAND A BIT FURTHER TO THE NORTH THROUGH
THE MORNING. LOOKS LIKE 3 TO LOCALLY 6 INCHES THROUGH THE MORNING.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS CONTINUE OVER EXTREME NE OHIO
AND NW PENNSYLVANIA. RADAR STILL SHOWING FAIRLY AREA OF SNOW
SHOWERS ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN ERIE COUNTY. THEREFORE DECIDED
TO LEAVE THE ADVISORY AND WARNING UP FOR ERIE COUNTY. DOESNT
APPEAR THAT THE SNOW SHOWERS ARE AS STRONG OVER EXTREME NORTHEAST
OHIO AND CRAWFORD PENNSYLVANIA. LOCAL INCH OR TWO COULD STILL FALL
EASTERN CRAWFORD BUT DIDNT FEEL THAT ADVISORY WAS STILL NEEDED
FOR THESE AREAS AS THE SNOW SHOWERS SHOULD BE TAPERING OFF IN
THESE AREAS SOON. SNOW AHEAD OF SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM WILL
START TO SPREAD INTO WESTERN OHIO THIS AFTERNOON. FAR WESTERN
AREAS POSSIBLY SEEING AN INCH BY EVENING....WITH THE HEAVIER SNOW
HOLDING OFF UNTIL TONIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM FORECAST TO MOVE UP THE OHIO VALLEY LATE
TONIGHT...MOVING ACROSS EXTREME SOUTHERN OHIO ON SATURDAY. GFS
CONTINUES TO BE THE MOST CONSISTENT MODEL MOVING THE LOW THROUGH
EXTREME SOUTHERN OHIO/NORTHERN KENTUCKY. WHILE THE 00Z NAM DROPS
IT FURTHER SOUTH THAN THE GFS AND SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT FROM
ITS PREVIOUS RUN. 00Z ECMWF TRACKS THE LOW LITTLE FURTHER S THAN
ITS PREVIOUS RUN BUT STILL NORTH OF GFS TRACK. PREFER GFS TRACK
WHICH SHOULD KEEP THE PRECIP ALL SNOW OVER THE FORECAST AREA.
WATCHES ISSUED FOR THE ENTIRE AREA WITH THIS STORM BEGINNING THIS
EVENING OVER WESTERN OHIO...BUT NOT UNTIL LATE TONIGHT OVER
PENNSYLVANIA AS SIGNIFICANT SNOW THERE SHOULD HOLD OFF UNTIL AFTER
MIDNIGHT. WITH GFS TRACK APPEARS THAT TOTAL SNOWFALL OF 6 TO 10
INCHES OVER MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA IS POSSIBLE WITH LOWER
AMOUNTS PROBABLY FALLING OVER EXTREME NW PA. SNOW WILL BEGIN TO
TAPER OFF IN THE WEST SATURDAY AFTERNOON...BUT NOT TAPERING OFF IN
THE EAST UNTIL AROUND MIDNIGHT SATURDAY. SOME LAKE EFFECT SNOW
SHOWERS WILL LIKELY LINGER ACROSS NE OHIO AND NW PENNSYLVANIA INTO
SUNDAY MORNING. MOST OF THE AREA WILL SEE BREAK IN THE WEATHER ON
SUNDAY...WITH LIGHT SNOW POSSIBLY ARRIVING SUNDAY NIGHT AHEAD OF
THE NEXT SYSTEM.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
BY THIS TIME NEXT WEEK...THE FORECAST AREA COULD VERY WELL BE BURIED
UNDER SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW AS THE SNOW TRAIN HEADS INTO TOWN.
WILL BE LEANING TOWARD THE PERSISTENT GFS MODEL THROUGH THE EXTENDED
PERIODS.

NORTHERN HEMISPHERIC VIEW SHOWS POLAR LOW EJECT A BIT OF ENERGY TO
THE NORTHEASTERN PORTION OF CANADA WHERE IT DEEPENS INTO A RATHER
STATIONARY LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM. THE LOW IS PROGGED TO MOVE LITTLE
DURING THE WEEK.  THIS WILL SET UP A RATHER ACTIVE JET STREAM FROM
THE NORTHWEST INTO THE OHIO VALLEY.

A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES WILL RACE SOUTHEAST IN THE UPPER LEVEL JET
STREAM SPAWNING SOME VIGOROUS SURFACE BASED LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS.
EACH STORM SYSTEM WILL DRIVE FAR ENOUGH SOUTH AND TAP INTO THE
MOISTURE AND WARMTH FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO FOR SOMEWHAT RAPID
INTENSIFICATION.

SINCE POLAR JET REMAINS TO THE SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA...ARCTIC
AIR WILL PLUNGE INTO THE REGION FOLLOWING THE COLD FRONT MONDAY
NIGHT AND REMAIN ENTRENCHED OVER THE REGION THROUGH THE END OF THE
WEEK. AS THE STORM SYSTEMS MOVE SOUTHEAST...THEY SHOULD MOVE FAST
ENOUGH TO PREVENT ENOUGH WARM AIR FROM ENTRAINING INTO THE SYSTEMS
TO CHANGE THE PRECIPITATION OVER TO A MIX OF SNOW...SLEET...AND
FREEZING RAIN.  THEREFORE...WILL KEEP ALL SNOW GOING THROUGH THE
ENTIRE PERIOD.

FOR NOW...DUE TO UNCERTAINTIES IN THE EXACT TRACKS OF THE
LOWS...WILL NOT GO ANY HIGHER THAN JUST CHANCE POPS THROUGH THE
PERIOD AND SEE HOW THINGS PLAY OUT OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.  THE
STORM SYSTEMS HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR MAKING THE WEATHER RATHER NASTY
NEXT WEEK. THE COMBINATION OF THE SNOW AND GUSTY WINDS ALONG WITH
THE COLD TEMPERATURES...SOME PRETTY COLD WIND CHILLS CAN BE
EXPECTED. HEADLINES MAY BE NEEDED AT TIMES NEXT WEEK.

THE FIRST STORM MOVES THROUGH THE AREA MONDAY NIGHT FORCING A COLD
FRONT TO MOVE EAST ACROSS THE REGION.  THIS IS WHEN TEMPERATURES
BEGIN THEIR DOWNWARD SPIRAL. A FAIRLY GOOD SWATH OF MOISTURE CAN BE
EXPECTED WITH THE STORM AND THE POTENTIAL FOR SYNOPTIC SNOWS CAN BE
EXPECTED.

THEN...SECOND LOW DEVELOPS RAPIDLY OVER THE DAKOTAS AND MOVES INTO
SOUTHERN OHIO BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND DEEPENS AS IT ROUNDS THE
BASE OF THE TROUGH. ANOTHER FAIRLY GOOD SWATH OF MOISTURE WILL BE
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS STORM SYSTEM AS WELL AND HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR
SIGNIFICANT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS.

THE STORM SYSTEM WILL BE FOLLOWED BY A STRONG ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE
DRIVING BITTERLY COLD AIR INTO THE FORECAST AREA.  THE LAKE EFFECT
SNOW MACHINE WILL LIKELY KICK IN WITH THIS FEATURE AS IT MOVES INTO
THE REGION ON THURSDAY.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE TRENDING DOWNWARD MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY AND
SO FAR GFS TEMPERATURES APPEAR TO BE ON TARGET. ALTHOUGH...GUIDANCE
DID BUMP TEMPERATURES UP A COUPLE DEGREES FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY
AS STORM SYSTEMS MAKE ATTEMPT TO TAP THE SLIGHTLY WARMER AIR TO THE
SOUTH.

&&

.AVIATION /14Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
LAKE EFFECT CONTINUES IN EARNEST OVER THE ERIE TERMINAL THIS
MORNING. FLOW IS BEGINNING TO GRADUALLY SHIFT TO THE SOUTHWEST AND
THIS WILL GRADUALLY TAPER OFF THE SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY. IN THE
WEST...THERE IS ALREADY SOME LIGHT SNOW AS CLOSE AS SOUTHERN
WISCONSIN AND THIS ACTIVITY WILL RACE SOUTHEAST INTO THE FORECAST
AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING FROM WEST TO EAST.

GOOD AREA OF FORCING EXPECTED NORTH OF THE LOW TRACK AND SHOULD
ENCOMPASS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA. HOWEVER...I ACCOUNTED FOR A
SLIGHTLY HEAVIER BAND EARLY ON ACROSS THE EXTREME NORTH COMPARED
TO THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE AREA. THEN...AS LOW APPROACHES...THE
HEAVIER SNOW ALONG WITH LOW VISIBILITIES AND CEILINGS WILL COVER
THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA DURING THE NIGHT TIME HOURS INTO
SATURDAY.

WINDS THROUGH THE PERIOD WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT AROUND TO SOUTHERLY
AND THEN EASTERLY AND THEN NORTHEASTERLY.

OUTLOOK...STORM SYSTEM PULLS OUT TO THE EAST SATURDAY EVENING AND
THERE MAY BE A FEW LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS IN THE NORTHEAST BUT
CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES SHOULD REMAIN VFR OR BRIEFLY MVFR.
OTHERWISE...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ELSEWHERE. NEXT STORM
SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES WITH A COLD FRONT
MONDAY NIGHT. MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED SUNDAY NIGHT INTO
MONDAY NIGHT. YET ANOTHER STORM POSSIBLE FOR TUESDAY WITH MORE LOW
CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES EXPECTED.

&&

.MARINE...
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL BE EXTENDED TO EARLY THIS EVENING AS WINDS
AND WAVES REMAIN HIGH ENOUGH TO SUPPORT 3 TO 5 FOOT WAVES ON THE
LAKE.  A SHIP REPORTED AT 06Z 7 FOOT WAVES JUST OFF SHORE FROM
CONNEAUT.  THE WINDS AT CONNEAUT LIGHT HAVE DIMINISHED BY ABOUT 10
KNOTS SINCE 06Z AND THEREFORE THE 3 TO 5 FOOT WAVES SHOULD BE
SUFFICIENT THROUGH THE DURATION OF THE DAY. THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
WAS DISCONTINUED FOR THE WESTERN PORTIONS AS WINDS HAVE DIMINISHED
BELOW SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA.  PLUS...WAVE ACTION IS NOT A FACTOR
SINCE THE WESTERN BASIN IS MOSTLY ICE COVERED.

WINDS AND WAVES WILL BE ON THE INCREASE SATURDAY AS LOW PRESSURE
MOVES NORTHEAST INTO THE OHIO VALLEY BUT THEN DIMINISH AGAIN ON
SUNDAY AS WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS EAST ACROSS THE LAKE.  ANOTHER
LOW WILL TRACK EAST ACROSS THE LAKE ON MONDAY CHANGEABLE WINDS
DURING THE DAY INTO THE EVENING HOURS. ANOTHER WEAK HIGH BUILDS EAST
INTO THE AREA ON TUESDAY.  SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY BE
NEEDED AGAIN ON SATURDAY.
