AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
129 PM EDT SAT OCT 2 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OVER SOUTHEAST LOWER MICHIGAN WITH A TRAILING COLD
FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA TODAY. A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE
WILL THEN EXTEND BACK OVER THE AREA FROM THE EAST COAST TONIGHT
INTO MONDAY. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION FOR
THE MIDDLE PORTION OF THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
ONLY MINOR CHANGES TO THE FORECAST WITH CATEGORICAL POPS FOR MOST
OF THE REGION FOR THE AFTERNOON. WORDED IT AS OCCASIONAL SHOWERS
SINCE THERE SHOULD BE BREAKS IN THE WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT. THERE
MAY BE JUST ENOUGH INSTABILITY OVER THE LAKE AND AHEAD OF THE
FRONT TO GENERATE AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM OR TWO. NOT OVERLY
CONFIDENT IN THIS BUT BELIEVE IT DESERVES A MENTION.

TEMPERATURES ARE NOT MOVING MUCH WITH THE RAIN AND CLOUD COVER SO
THERE WILL NOT BE MUCH OF A INCREASE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WITH
ONLY 3 TO 5 DEGREES WARMER FOR MOST LOCATIONS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
A TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO LINGER BACK OVER THE AREA FROM THE EAST
COAST INTO MONDAY AS A DEEP UPPER LEVEL TROUGH DROPS INTO THE AREA
EVENTUALLY BECOMING A CUTOFF LOW OVER THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY. THE
COOLER TEMPERATURES ALOFT...LIFT FROM BOTH SURFACE TROUGH AND UPPER
LEVEL LOW/TROUGH AND NORTH TO NORTHEAST FLOW OFF THE LAKE WILL KEEP
A THREAT OF SHOWERS GOING INTO MONDAY.  WITH THE CLOUDS AND SHOWERS
HIGH STILL ONLY IN THE LOW TO MID 50S ON SUNDAY...WITH JUST SLIGHT
WARMER TEMPERATURES EACH DAY THROUGH THE REST OF THE
PERIOD...GETTING CLOSE TO NORMAL BY WEDNESDAY.  COLDEST LOW
TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE EARLY TUESDAY MORNING WITH READINGS AROUND 35
TO 40. CLOUD COVER AND WINDS SHOULD HELP LIMIT THE RISK OF FROST
BUT WILL HAVE TO BE WATCHED CLOSELY.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN THE LONG RANGE WITH SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE AREA LATER IN THE WEEK. HIGH PRESSURE
IS EXPECTED TO PROVIDE DRY CONDITIONS AND NEAR NORMAL
TEMPERATURES.

&&

.AVIATION /17Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
SOME SIGNIFICANT PERIODS OF IFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS OVER THE NEXT
24 HRS. SURFACE LOW WILL TRACK FROM ITS CURRENT POSITION NEAR
HURON TO EAST CENTRAL OHIO WHERE IT WILL STALL AS THE UPPER LOW
CLOSES OFF OVERHEAD. MAJORITY OF IFR WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE
LOW AND TO ITS NW TONIGHT. PRIOR TO THAT...TOL/FDY/CLE MAY BOUNCE
IN AND OUT OF IFR. LAKE EFFECT/ENHANCED SHOWER ACTIVITY TONIGHT
WITH NORTHEAST FLOW...SO THIS WILL HAVE A GREATER IMPACT ON CLE
AS EMBEDDED ENHANCED BANDS WILL BE ORIENTED ROUGHLY NE TO SW. IFR
OR LOWER HERE. NORTHEAST FLOW WILL BE ON THE STRONGER
SIDE...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE LAKESHORE. SUNDAY WILL REMAIN GLOOMY
WITH SHOWERS AND IFR TO MVFR CONDITIONS.

.OUTLOOK...NON VFR POSSIBLE SUNDAY AND INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK...ESPECIALLY CENTRAL AND EAST.

&&

.MARINE...
HAVE DECIDED TO GO WITH A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WITH THE MORNING
UPDATE. WILL START IT AT 4 PM ACROSS THE WESTERN BASIN AND 10 PM
FOR THE EAST. AT THIS TIME WILL TAKE THE ADVISORY THROUGH 10 PM
SUNDAY. HOWEVER WITH NORTHEAST FLOW IT MAY BE EXTENDED ON THE WEST
END OF THE LAKE INTO MONDAY.

PREVIOUS...
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE LAKE TODAY...THEN
BECOME STATIONARY NEAR THE OHIO VALLEY BEGINNING TONIGHT AND
CONTINUE INTO SUNDAY. MEANWHILE HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE NORTHERN
GREAT LAKES EXTENDING TO THE UPPER MIDWEST WILL PROVIDE A GOOD
GRADIENT OVER THE LAKE THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK. WINDS AND WAVES ARE EXPECTED TO QUICKLY BUILD OVER THE LAKE
LATE TODAY AND ESPECIALLY THIS EVENING. WILL MENTION WORDING OF
SMALL CRAFT LIKELY BEGINNING TONIGHT. BY SUNDAY MORNING...NORTH TO
NORTHEAST WINDS WILL APPROACH 30 KNOTS. WINDS ALOFT APPROACHING 35
KNOTS...SO WILL HAVE TO WATCH FORECASTS THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT
BUT CURRENTLY NOT QUITE ENOUGH CONFIDENT FOR 35 KNOTS GALES. THESE
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PERSIST INTO MONDAY...THEN GRADUALLY
DIMINISH INTO TUESDAY. LOW PRESSURE BEGINS DEPARTING THE AREA BY
MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN WILL BRING LOWER
WINDS AND WAVES BY WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
