AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
749 AM EDT THU MAY 26 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE NORTHEAST ACROSS OHIO TODAY AND
TONIGHT AND THEN DISSIPATE ON FRIDAY. A STATIONARY FRONT WILL
PERSIST ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. THE FRONT WILL
BECOME A WARM FRONT AND LIFT NORTH OF THE AREA ON SUNDAY. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES SUNDAY AND
PERSIST INTO MONDAY NIGHT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
FLOOD WATCH THAT WAS IN EFFECT EARLIER HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO EXPIRE.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE LOW LEVEL JET WILL MOVE
NORTHEAST OF THE AREA THIS MORNING. LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE NORTHEAST
INTO THE REGION DURING THE DAY AND SPREAD MORE RAIN INTO THE
FORECAST AREA. THERE COULD VERY WELL BE A FAIRLY LARGE SPREAD IN
TEMPERATURES FROM WEST TO EAST. I THINK COOLER TEMPERATURES CAN BE
EXPECTED UNDER THE LOW IN THE WEST WHILE FAIRLY WARM TEMPERATURES IN
THE EAST DUE TO THE WARM AIR ADVECTION TAKING PLACE DURING THE DAY.
SOME COOLER AIR WILL WRAP AROUND AND INTO THE WESTERN AREAS THIS
AFTERNOON HELPING TO SUPPRESS ANY HEATING.

AT THIS TIME...MOST OF THE AREA IS OUTLOOKED FOR SEVERE WEATHER. I
WOULD SAY THE CHANCES ARE BETTER THE FURTHER EAST YOU GO AS
ATMOSPHERE WILL LIKELY BECOME MORE UNSTABLE OVER THAT AREA DURING
THE AFTERNOON HEATING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE NORTHEAST OF THE AREA SLOWLY AND GRADUALLY
TAKE THE PRECIPITATION WITH IT. STATIONARY FRONT WILL SET UP OVER
THE REGION AND MOVE LITTLE INTO THE EARLY PART OF THE WEEKEND. THE
FRONT EVENTUALLY DEVELOPS INTO A WARM FRONT AND LIFTS NORTH OF THE
AREA ON SUNDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN
UNITED STATES AND PUSHES THE WARM FRONT NORTH.

UNFORTUNATELY...DUE TO THE CLOSE PROXIMITY OF THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY...THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS JUST ABOUT EACH PERIOD.

TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE PERIOD WILL COOL SLIGHTLY BUT ONCE WARM
FRONT SURGES BACK NORTH...TEMPERATURES WILL WARM BACK INTO THE 80S
BY THE WEEKEND.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
LONG TERM SHAPING UP WHERE FORECAST AREA APPEARS THAT IT WILL REMAIN
IN THE WARM SECTOR THROUGH THE HOLIDAY. HOWEVER...IT APPEARS A COLD
FRONT MAY TRY TO SLIP SOUTH ACROSS THE LAKE INTO THE AREA SOME TIME
ON MONDAY BUT IS LIMITED IN MOISTURE. THE FRONT STALLS AND SURGES
BACK NORTH AS A WARM FRONT TUESDAY AND NEXT CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS APPEARS THAT IT WILL ARRIVE SOME TIME TUESDAY NIGHT
AND WEDNESDAY WITH THE NEXT COLD FRONT. AIR MASS BEHIND THE COLD
FRONT LOOKS TO BE RATHER COOL FOR THE END OF THE WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE QUESTION IS WHEN WILL THE NEXT ROUND OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS REDEVELOP. CONFIDENCE WAS LOW IN THE TIMING SO JUST
WENT WITH VCTS AND THEN WENT WITH MORE THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING IN
THE AFTERNOON. SOME QUESTION AS TO HOW MUCH MVFR CEILINGS WILL BE
DEVELOPING AND SPREADING EAST. AT THIS TIME KEPT IT IN THE WEST.
IFR WILL BE DEVELOPING FROM THE WEST OVERNIGHT.

.OUTLOOK...NON VFR LIKELY AT TIMES FRIDAY IN SHOWERS/STORMS.

&&

.MARINE...
SPECIAL MARINE WARNINGS MAY BE NEEDED FOR LATER THIS AFTERNOON AS
MORE THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP.  SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES ARE NOT EXPECTED
FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE LIGHT AND
VARIABLE THROUGH SATURDAY. SOUTHWEST FLOW DEVELOPS SATURDAY INTO
SUNDAY AND WARM AIR OVER COLD POOL WILL KEEP WINDS LIGHT AT THE
SURFACE EASTERN END OF THE LAKE. SUNDAY AFTERNOON WILL SEE WINDS
INCREASING ON THE LAKE AND LIKELY SEE SOME OF THE WIND GET DOWN TO
THE SURFACE. WAVES SHOULD NOT GET OUT OF HAND HOWEVER.

&&

.CLE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
OH...NONE.
PA...NONE.
MARINE...NONE.
