AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
847 AM EDT FRI MAY 7 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
A WARM FRONT OVER THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY WILL LIFT NORTH TO LAKE ERIE
THIS AFTERNOON. A DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL TRACK TO LOWER
MICHIGAN BY THIS EVENING AND MOVE ACROSS EASTERN CANADA ON SATURDAY.
THE LOW WILL DRAG A STRONG COLD FRONT ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT.
WINDY AND COLDER CONDITIONS WILL OCCUR ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE LOW
AND COLD FRONT ON SATURDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BEGIN TO BUILD IN
FROM THE WEST ON SUNDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
INGREDIENTS COMING INTO PLACE FOR A POTENT SEVERE WEATHER
DAY/EVENING. WE WILL HAVE TO GET THROUGH SOME MORNING ACTIVITY FIRST
THOUGH AS A COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING OVER THE MID
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...DRIVEN BY ELEVATED INSTABILITY...WILL LIKELY
REDEVELOP NORTHEASTWARD. BASED ON THERMAL CONFIGURATION AND LOW
LEVEL JET...THESE STORMS WILL PROBABLY CLIP NORTHWEST OHIO THIS
MORNING...MAYBE MAKING IT TO CLEVELAND AND EVEN ERIE...ALTHOUGH THE
STORMS SHOULD BE IN A WEAKENING MODE BY THAT TIME AND MAY NOT HAVE
MUCH THUNDER.

THE WARM FRONT SHOULD ADVANCE QUICKLY TO THE NORTH TODAY BUT WILL
LIKELY FIND RESISTANCE NEAR LAKE ERIE AS THE BIG SURFACE HIGH
ACROSS CANADA HOLDS ITS GROUND. THE DEEPENING SURFACE LOW WILL
TRACK TOWARD LOWER MICHIGAN BY EVENING. THIS IS A CLASSIC SET UP
FOR BACKING WINDS IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER AS PRESSURES FALL ACROSS
THE MIDWEST AND WILL ENHANCE THE LOW LEVEL SHEAR WHICH WILL
ALREADY BE HIGH. HEIGHTS RISE TODAY AND WARM ADVECTION OCCURS
THROUGH THE COLUMN SO THERE WILL PROBABLY BE CAPPING FOR A WHILE.
WE WILL ALSO HAVE TO OVERCOME A RELATIVELY DRY ATMOSPHERE (THE
MORNING SHOWERS/STORMS SHOULD HELP). THE CAPPING AND RELATIVELY
DRY ATMOSPHERE WILL ACTUALLY HELP KEEP THE DEVELOPING STORMS
INDIVIDUALIZED FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME GIVING THE STORMS MORE
TIME TO ROTATE AND PERHAPS DEVELOP INTO FULL BLOWN SUPERCELLS.
WILL MENTION TORNADOES IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK. STORMS
SHOULD DEVELOP FIRST ACROSS EASTERN INDIANA AND NW OHIO AND THEN
MOVE EAST. DEWPOINTS TYPICALLY SNEAK UP AND POOL AHEAD OF THE
FRONT...HIGHER THAN GUIDANCE...AND CAPES COULD END UP HIGHER THAN
PROGGED. RARE THAT WE GET SUCH A COMBINATION OF HIGH CAPE AND HIGH
SHEAR. EVENTUALLY THE STORMS WILL PROBABLY MERGE TOGETHER AND
SHORT WAVE ARRIVING FROM THE WEST SHOULD PROMOTE RAPID PROPAGATION
OFF TO THE EAST AND BOWING LINE(S) OF STORMS THIS EVENING. AREAS
EAST OF I-71 MAY HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL EVENING/EARLY TONIGHT FOR THE
STORMS.

WILL GET BREEZY TODAY ACROSS NORTHWEST OHIO. TEMPERATURES WILL
STRUGGLE ALONG THE LAKESHORE AND THE TOLEDO AREA WITH THE EAST FLOW.
IT WILL GET WARMER ELSEWHERE BEHIND THE WARM FRONT AS THE SOUTH WIND
INCREASES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
THE STORMS SHOULD MOVE EASTWARD PRETTY QUICKLY EARLY TONIGHT. A
LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT SYNOPTIC WIND BEHIND THE COLD FRONT BUT WILL
OPERATE UNDER THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE SEVERE STORMS WARNINGS WILL BE
ABLE TO COVER THE WIND WITH THE FRONT. WILL NEED TO DEAL WITH THE
WIND ON SATURDAY THOUGH. THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF OHIO AND NORTHWEST
PENNSYLVANIA WOULD SEEM IN LINE FOR STRONG WINDS AS COLD ADVECTION
CONTINUES AND THE WIND BECOMES MORE UNIDIRECTIONAL AND MIXING
INCREASES. SHOWERS CLOUD ALSO DRAG ADDITIONAL WIND TO THE SURFACE.
WILL ISSUE A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR MUCH OF NE OH/NW PA. WILL PROBABLY
NEED A WIND ADVISORY FOR THE NEXT TIER OF COUNTIES SOUTH AND WEST. I
THINK I WILL WAIT TO ISSUE AN ADVISORY SINCE THERE IS SO MUCH ELSE
GOING ON. TOO MANY HEADLINES CAN LEAD TO CONFUSION.

VERY LITTLE CHANCE FOR TEMPERATURES TO RECOVER ON SATURDAY. MOST
AREAS WILL BE STEADY OR FALLING. JUST ABOUT ANYONE COULD SEE WRAP
AROUND SHOWERS ALTHOUGH I SUSPECT THAT MOST OF THE ACTIVITY WILL BE
LIGHT. WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION THE CHANCE FOR WET SNOW ACROSS THE
SNOWBELT SATURDAY NIGHT. WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO KEEP ENOUGH WIND TO
KEEP FROST TO A MINIMUM ACROSS NW OHIO SATURDAY NIGHT BUT THERE
WILL BE A BIGGER RISK OF FROST BY SUNDAY NIGHT AS THE SURFACE HIGH
BUILDS EAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THE BROAD VIEW PATTERN IS SIMILAR FOR THE END OF THE WEEK WITH
SOMEWHAT OF A FLAT FLOW. THIS WILL KEEP A WAVY FRONTAL BOUNDARY
SOMEWHERE ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES TO THE TN VALLEY. MODEL
DIFFERENCES IN THE DETAILS. GFS IS MORE AMPLIFIED AND WE GET INTO
COOLER AND DRIER WEATHER...BUT THE ECMWF WHICH HAS BEEN PREFERRED
KEEPS THE FRONT LAYING ACROSS OHIO. DO NOT WANT TO GO ONE EXTREME OR
THE OTHER SO HAVE TEMPERED THE TEMPS AND DEWPOINTS...BUT HAVE KEPT
THE DAILY CHANCE POPS.

&&

.AVIATION /13Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
CONVECTION JUST TO THE WEST WILL CONTINUE FOR A WHILE LONGER
CLIPPING FDY/TOL...HAVE TEMPO FOR THIS. DEBRIS SHOWERS FROM THIS
COMPLEX AS IT WEAKENS MID MORNING MAY REACH CLE OR EVEN ERI BUT
CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO PUT IN TAF. BETTER AND HIGHER
IMPACT WEATHER COMES LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS DEEP LOW
PRESSURE TRACKS TO SE MI. THE WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY NOW ACROSS KY
WILL LIFT NORTHWARD AND STRETCH ACROSS NORTHERN OHIO/LAKE ERIE
WHEN AFTERNOON STORMS ARE INITIATING. A LOT OF WIND SHEAR ACROSS
THIS FRONT. INGREDIENTS COMING TOGETHER FOR LATE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING STRONG AND SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. HAVE INCLUDED A TEMPO
GROUP FOR TS LATE THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING WITH INCREASED
CONFIDENCE...BUT THE WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY FOR TS REALLY EXTENDS
TOWARD MIDNIGHT...UNTIL THE COLD FRONT PASSES. SEVERE TS CHANCES
CONTINUE AND THEREFORE HAVE INDICATED THAT WITH THE CONVECTIVE
WINDS IN THE TEMPOS. STRONGEST STORMS COULD HAVE HIGHER GUSTS AND
HAIL THAN TAFS INDICATE. SOME WIND OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORMS
POSSIBLE RIGHT WITH/AFTER THE FRONT. WEST WINDS INCREASE FURTHER
FOR SATURDAY...WITH GUSTS UPWARDS OF 50 OR 60 MPH POSSIBLE
ESPECIALLY ACROSS NORTHERN OHIO/ NW PA.

.OUTLOOK...NON-VFR CONDITIONS INTO SATURDAY...THEN MAINLY EASTERN
AREAS SATURDAY NIGHT. NON-VFR POSSIBLE TUESDAY. STRONG WEST WINDS
SATURDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
DEEP LOW PRESSURE TO TRACK TO THE WEST END OF LAKE ERIE BY FRIDAY
EVENING. PRECEDING THE LOW TODAY ENE TO KICK UP WAVES INTO SMALL
CRAFT RANGE ON WEST END WITH LONG FETCH. STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AREA WITH THIS SYSTEM FROM LATE AFTERNOON INTO
THE EVENING. COLD FRONT TO CROSS THE LAKE TONIGHT. WINDS TO INCREASE
TO GALES BEHIND THE FRONT AND STRENGTHEN FURTHER TO HIGH END GALES
FOR SATURDAY DURING THE DAY. INCREASED CONFIDENCE IN HIGH END VS
MARGINAL GALES WITH INCREASED MODEL CONSENSUS AND STRENGTH OF THIS
SYSTEM. GALE WARNING ISSUED. WINDS TO BEGIN TO DIMINISH SATURDAY
NIGHT...BUT SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS LIKELY THROUGH SUNDAY. HIGH
PRESSURE MONDAY AND THEN THE NEXT SYSTEM MOVES OUT OF THE CENTRAL
PLAINS TO THE CENTRAL LAKES FOR TUESDAY.
