AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
1055 AM EDT SAT APR 3 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK COLD FRONT OVER THE MIDWEST WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION
THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE
INTO THE REGION OVERNIGHT AND THEN MOVE EAST ON SUNDAY. ANOTHER
WEAK COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA ON MONDAY. A WARM FRONT WILL
DEVELOP ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES BY TUESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
THICKER HIGH LEVEL CLOUD COVER HAS LIMITED THE AMOUNT OF MIXING
ACROSS THE AREA SO FAR THIS MORNING. THIS HAS KEPT WINDS FROM
INCREASING ALL THAT FAST. DOWNSLOPE AREAS NEAR THE LAKE ARE SEEING
STRONGER WINDS BUT GUSTS ONLY TOPPING OUT AROUND 25 MPH. THERE
SHOULD AT LEAST BE A BRIEF WINDOW OF THINNER CLOUD COVER EARLY
THIS AFTERNOON THAT WILL ALLOW SOME DEEPER MIXING WHICH WILL BRING
SOME STRONGER WINDS DOWN TO THE SURFACE. THIS SHOULD STILL ALLOW
FOR SOME STRONGER GUSTS THAT MAY APPROACH 40-45 MPH. THE STRONGEST
WINDS MAY ACTUALLY OCCUR NEAR ANY OF THE SHOWERS THAT MOVE ACROSS
THE WESTERN HALF OF THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON.

SHOWERS CONTINUE TO MOVE SLOWLY TOWARD THE AREA AND STRETCH FROM
NW IN TO EXTREME SW OH AT 1445Z. THE MAIN JET ENERGY SHOULD DIRECT
THE MAIN AREAS OF SHOWERS NORTHWEST ACROSS MICHIGAN AND ACROSS
SOUTHERN OHIO. QUESTION IS HOW MUCH WILL BE ABLE TO HOLD TOGETHER
BETWEEN THE AREAS OF BETTER LIFT. AT THIS TIME WILL KEEP A
SCATTERED SHOWER MENTION ACROSS THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE AREA OF
THE AFTERNOON. THIS MAY MOVE INTO THE CLE TO CAK AREA THIS
EVENING. THUNDER POTENTIAL DOES NOT LOOK ALL THAT IMPRESSIVE BUT
WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 70S TO MID 80S CANT RULE OUT AT LEAST A
FEW RUMBLES OF THUNDER BETWEEN 21Z AND 01Z. IF THE THUNDER DOES
OCCUR IT LOOKS TO BE ISOLATED.

THE FIRE WEATHER WATCH WILL REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH THE EVENING
FOR EXTREME NORTHEAST OHIO INTO NW PA. WINDS AND RH MAY BRIEFLY
REACH CRITERIA THIS AFTERNOON BUT BELIEVE A QUICK SPREAD OF FIRE
IS NOT LIKELY. THANKS FOR THE COORDINATION FROM CTP AND PBZ.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
SOME SHOWERS WILL LINGER IN THE EAST THIS EVENING AND THEN IT WILL
BE DRY AS A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE BUILDS IN QUICKLY. WENT A LITTLE
COOLER THAN THE NAM AND GFS MOS GUIDANCE. SOME CLOUDS WILL LINGER.

SUNDAY THE HIGH WILL MOVE EAST. HUMIDITY WILL BE ABOVE THE
CRITERIA FOR A FIRE WEATHER WATCH AND THE WINDS WILL PROBABLY EXCEED
THE CRITERIA IN THE WEST. NO HEADLINE AT THIS TIME.

A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL AFFECT THE AREA MONDAY AND A WARM FRONT
MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING. MODELS ARE IN AGREEMENT WITH
THE BROAD PICTURE BUT SOME DIFFERENCES IN THE DETAILS. AT THIS
TIME KEPT THE POPS CHANCEY. AS THE WARM FRONT MOVES NORTH TUESDAY
WE SHOULD BE IN THE WARM AND DRY SECTOR AND RAISED THE HIGHS.
OTHERWISE USED A COMBINATION OF GRIDDED MOS AND THE OTHER MOS
GUIDANCE TO COME OUT WITH THE TEMPERATURE FORECAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
LATEST EUROPEAN CAME IN AND LITTLE CHANGE BETWEEN RUNS. GFS AND
EUROPEAN ARE IN AGREEMENT WITH TRACK OF LOW ACROSS THE WEST CENTRAL
GREAT LAKES REGION. DRY SLOW WRAPS UP INTO THE LOW BY WEDNESDAY AND
COLD FRONT SWEEPS EAST ACROSS THE AREA EARLY IN THE DAY. POSSIBILITY
THAT HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL OCCUR IN THE MORNING WITH COOLER
TEMPERATURES IN THE AFTERNOON.  HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE IF MODELS START
TRENDING TOWARD A LATER ARRIVAL TIME OF THE FRONT. BASED ON THAT
WILL KEEP MAX TEMPERATURES IN THE AFTERNOON. I WILL KEEP MENTION OF
THUNDER AND SHOWER ACTIVITY GOING WITH THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER THE
AREA ON WEDNESDAY.

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY
BRINGING A RETURN TO FAIR WEATHER. SOME COLD AIR ADVECTION CONTINUES
ON TUESDAY BUT WE START TO SEE A RETURN SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW DEVELOP
BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON. WARM AIR ADVECTION WILL NOT BE AS INTENSE AS
THE LAST COUPLE DAYS. ANOTHER WEAK COLD FRONT WILL SLIDE EAST ACROSS
THE REGION FRIDAY. TEMPERATURES THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WILL BE BACK TO
NEAR NORMAL IN THE 50S WITH LOWS IN THE 40S.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO REACH THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE
FORECAST AREA AROUND 18Z AND GRADUALLY PUSH EAST. MOISTURE WILL BE
LIMITED WITH THE FRONT AND IT LOOKS LIKE SHOWERS WILL LINGER FOR
ABOUT 4 HOURS BEFORE AND AFTER FRONTAL PASSAGE. SKIES QUICKLY
CLEAR OUT BEHIND THE FRONT.

MAIN PROBLEM WILL BE THE WINDS AS THEY INCREASE THIS MORNING. I
THINK THEY WILL BE QUITE GUSTY LATER THIS MORNING INTO THE
AFTERNOON. VERY LITTLE IN THE WAY OF WIND SHIFT WITH THE FRONT AS
WELL. WINDS DIE OFF THIS EVENING TO LESS THAN 10 KNOTS AS
INVERSION DEVELOPS AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION.

.OUTLOOK...NON VFR POSSIBLE MONDAY AND TUESDAY IN CONVECTIVE
SHRA.

&&

.MARINE...
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL NEED TO BE HOISTED LATER THIS AFTERNOON
ON LAKE ERIE AS WINDS INCREASE BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. SMALL CRAFT
WILL BE THE RESULT OF THE WINDS AND NOT SO MUCH DUE TO THE WAVES DUE
TO THE FLOW BEING FROM LAND TO THE WATER.

WINDS IN THE OPEN WATERS EXPECTED TO BE AROUND 30 KNOTS AFTER
FRONTAL PASSAGE THIS AFTERNOON AND SHOULD REMAIN BELOW GALES.

WINDS DIMINISH FAIRLY RAPIDLY LATER TONIGHT AND GO NEARLY LIGHT AND
VARIABLE THROUGH MONDAY. AN INCREASE IS EXPECTED AGAIN TUESDAY AS
SOUTHWEST FLOW DEVELOPS ONCE AGAIN. THIS SHOULD CONTINUE WEDNESDAY
NIGHT WHEN THE LOW PASSES OFF TO THE NORTHEAST AND WINDS START TO
DIMINISH.
