AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
149 PM EDT SUN AUG 14 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK ACROSS OHIO TODAY AND MOVE OFF
THE NEW JERSEY COAST BY MORNING MORNING. THIS RATHER SLOW MOVING
SYSTEM WILL KEEP THE WEATHER UNSETTLED THROUGH MIDDAY
MONDAY...WHEN CONDITIONS WILL BEGIN TO IMPROVE WITH THE ARRIVAL OF
HIGH PRESSURE. THE NEXT FRONT IS DUE TO ARRIVE LATE IN THE WORK
WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
SOME CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED INLAND...BUT THE MAJORITY OF THE
STORM ACTIVITY WILL BE OVER THE LAKE WHERE WARMER AIR IS
SUPPORTING THEIR DEVELOPMENT. SATELLITE SHOWS THE CENTER OF THE
LOW OVER W LAKE ERIE...WITH BANDS OF RAIN CIRCULATING THE REGION.
SHOWERS PASSING OVER THE WARMER LAKE WILL PICK UP HIGHER RAINFALL
RATES...BECOMING A WARM RAIN PROCESS WITH LOW CENTROID CORES.
THESE TYPES OF SHOWERS CAN PRODUCE EXCESSIVE AND NEARLY TROPICAL
RAINFALL RATES OF NEAR 2 INCHES PER HOUR. HAVE EXPANDED THE WATCH
TO THE WEST AS THIS AREA ALREADY SEEING SOME OF THIS ACTIVITY. THE
W LAKESHORE WILL CLEAR OUT EARLIER SO THE WATCH ONLY GOES THROUGH
EARLY MON MORNING. THE LOW HAS SLOWED CONSIDERABLY SINCE MOVING
OVER OH AS A WAVE OVER THE E SEABOARD SLOWS ITS E-WARD
PROGRESSION. SOME AREAS ARE EXPERIENCING BREAKS OR EVEN LIGHT
RAIN...HOWEVER WRAP AROUND MOISTURE FROM THE LAKE WILL EVENTUALLY
BE DRIVEN SOUTH AS THE LOW MOVES E AN N WINDS TAKE OVER THIS AFT
AND TNT. THE AIRMASS WILL BE DRYING ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE LOW
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...HOWEVER THE INFLUENCE OF THE LAKE WILL
PROVIDE ENOUGH WARM AIR AND MOISTURE TO SUPPORT CONTINUED HEAVY
RAIN. CONCERNS WILL BE FOR BANDING...PIVOT POINTS...AND TRAINING.
THE BEST TIMING FOR LAKE ENHANCED RAIN WILL BE LATER THIS
AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT WHEN THE WINDS BECOME NE BEHIND THE LOW.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
BY THIS EVENING THE SURFACE LOW WILL BE TO OUR SOUTHEAST AND A N
TO NE FLOW WILL BEGIN TO SET UP ACROSS THE AREA. H8 TEMPS DROP A
FEW DEGREES...BUT ENOUGH TO GET US CLOSE TO A LAKE-H8 DIFFERENCE
OF ABOUT 13C. CONVECTION TONIGHT WILL BE MORE ISOLATED TO THE LAKE
AND THE LAKESHORE COUNTIES AND LAKE ENHANCED RAIN BECOMES A
POSSIBILITY...HENCE THE FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES INTO MONDAY. WIND
DIRECTION AND HOW IT CHANGES WITH TIME WILL BE KEY. THE FLOODING
THREAT WILL BE WITH ANY HEAVIER BANDS OF SHOWERS THAT SET UP AND
LINGER. RIGHT NOW THIS STILL LOOKS TO BE ACROSS THE EAST LAKESHORE
COUNTIES WITH ADDED UPSLOPE...BUT JUST WEST OF CLE ALSO HAS SOME
CHANCE AT A DECENT RAIN. LOWS TONIGHT WILL STICK TO THE 60S.

CONDITIONS IMPROVE SLOWLY FROM WEST TO EAST MONDAY. STILL GET
UNSTABLE ENOUGH FOR SOME THUNDERSTORMS TO POP UP ACROSS THE
EASTERN HALF OF THE AREA. RIDGING BEGINS TO SHIFT EAST LATE IN THE
DAY. WILL KEEP THE EAST ON THE COOLER SIDE...BUT ALLOW TOL/FDY TO
WARM TO NEAR 80.

WILL GET 50S BACK IN OVERNIGHT LOWS ACROSS THE WEST MONDAY NIGHT
AWAY FROM ANY CLOUDS DOWNWIND OF THE LAKE. HIGH PRESSURE OVERHEAD
TUESDAY WITH SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES...SHIFTING EAST WEDNESDAY
WITH TEMPS A FEW DEGREES WARMER. FAIR AND DRY.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
THE EXTENDED FORECAST LOOKS MUCH LIKE IT DID YESTERDAY...WITH A
COLD FRONT DROPPING ACROSS THE AREA ON THURSDAY...THEN A GENERAL
DEEPENING OF THE TROUGH ALOFT LATE IN THE WEEK WHILE THE SURFACE
HIGH TRIES TO BUILD IN FROM THE WEST. NOT SURE HOW CLEANLY THE
SURFACE HIGH WILL BUILD IN... AS THE TROUGHINESS ALOFT COULD
ENHANCE ANY WEAK FEATURE IN THE FLOW. WILL KEEP A SMALL CHANCE OF
SHOWERS IN THE FORECAST ACROSS NE OH/NW PA FOR FRIDAY. WILL KEEP
SATURDAY DRY ALTHOUGH THE 00Z ECMWF DROPS A WEAKENING FRONT INTO
THE AREA. PREFER THE GFS HOLDING BACK THE NEXT FRONT UNTIL NEXT
SUNDAY.

TEMPERATURES ON THURSDAY WILL DEPEND ON THE TIMING OF THE FRONT AND
THE AMOUNT OF CLOUDS/SHOWERS. FRIDAY SHOULD BE SOMEWHAT COOLER AND
WILL FORECAST TEMPERATURES NEAR NORMAL...THEN TREND BACK UP A
CATEGORY ON SATURDAY AS THE FLOW COMES AROUND FROM THE SOUTH.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
RAIN SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE ON AND OFF THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT AS
UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE DRIFTS ACROSS THE AERA. IFR CONDTIONS WILL
SPREAD ACROSS ENTIRE AREA DURING THE OVERNIGHT. CLUSTERS OF
EMBEDDED TSRA FROM CENTRAL LAKESHORE TO AKRON AREA WILL MOVE
SLOWLY EAST AS SURFACE LOW DRIFTS EAST.

OUTLOOK...IFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE INTO MONDAY MORNING WITH
RAIN SHOWERS...STRATUS AND BR.

&&

.MARINE...
A WEAK LOW PRESSURE CENTER WILL PASS NEAR LAKE ERIE THIS MORNING AND
THE WIND WILL BE VARIABLE AND DEPENDENT ON THE CONVECTION THAT WILL
BE NEAR OR OVER THE LAKE. MARINERS WILL HAVE TO BE ALERT FOR
THUNDERSTORMS TODAY. AS THE SYSTEM PASSES OFF TO THE EAST THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING...THE FLOW WILL COME AROUND FROM THE NORTH.
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL INCREASE TONIGHT AND MONDAY AS HIGH
PRESSURE SPREADS IN AND THE LOW PRESSURE CENTER DEEPENS A BIT ALONG
THE EAST COAST. A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED TONIGHT
AND MONDAY. THINGS SHOULD CALM DOWN TUESDAY AS THE SURFACE HIGH
MOVES IN. THE NEXT COLD FRONT IS DUE ON THURSDAY.
