Area forecast discussion, May 25, 7:24 PM EDT, 3 hours 25 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
724 PM EDT WED MAY 25 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A WARM FRONT WILL SLOWLY LIFT NORTHWARD ACROSS THE REGION THIS
EVENING. WEAKENING LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ALONG THIS FRONTAL
BOUNDARY ON THURSDAY. THIS WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL THEN LINGER
ACROSS CENTRAL OHIO ON FRIDAY BEFORE LIFTING NORTH OF THE LAKE
SATURDAY NIGHT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
A WARM FRONT CONTINUES TO LIFT NORTHWARD ACROSS THE REGION THIS
EVENING. IT IS CURRENTLY MOVING INTO THE SOUTHWESTERN COUNTY
WARNING AREA. THERE IS ALSO A LAKE INDUCED BOUNDARY ACROSS
NORTHWEST OHIO THAT STRETCHES ACROSS AT NORTHERN WOOD EASTWARD INTO
SANDUSKY AND LIKELY ERIE COUNTIES. THESE TWO BOUNDARIES COULD HELP
TO GENERATE A BIT STRONGER LOW LEVEL SHEAR WITH THE POTENTIAL OF A
TORNADO NEAR THEM. THUS THE ISSUANCE OF THE TORNADO WATCH FOR THE
WESTERN HALF OF THE REGION.

ANOTHER CONCERN BESIDES THE SEVERE THREAT WILL BE THE LOCALLY
HEAVY RAINFALL. HAVE ALREADY ISSUED A FLOOD WATCH FOR THE WESTERN
HALF OF THE AREA WHERE A COUPLE ROUNDS OF HEAVY RAINFALL MAY
OCCUR.

THE BIGGEST UNCERTAINTY IS HOW FAR EAST THE SEVERE THREAT WILL
REACH THIS EVENING. FOR NOW WE BELIEVE IT WILL BE A SLOW
PROGRESSION EASTWARD AND WILL HAVE TO WATCH CLOSELY TO SEE IF ANY
ISOLATED CELLS CAN DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE LINE AS THE WARM SECTOR
ATTEMPTS TO MOVE NORTHWARD.

LOWS TONIGHT WILL BE A BIT WARMER WITH THICKER CLOUD COVER ACROSS
THE AREA. MOST LOCATIONS WILL SEE SOME RAIN COOLED TEMPERATURES IN
THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 60S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN IN THE AREA ON THURSDAY AS LOW
PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS NORTHERN OHIO. IF ENOUGH HEATING CAN OCCUR
THERE MAY BE ANOTHER ROUND OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. HEAVY RAINFALL
WILL ONCE AGAIN BE A PROBLEM.

THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL THEN LINGER OVER THE AREA INTO FRIDAY
NIGHT OR SATURDAY. UNCERTAINTY IS WHERE THE OUTFLOW WILL DIRECT
IT. WILL KEEP CHANCE TO LIKELY POPS IN THE FORECAST INTO SATURDAY.

HIGHS ON THURSDAY WILL IN THE 70S TO NEAR 80. HOWEVER BY FRIDAY
TEMPERATURES WILL BE A BIT COOLER WITH CLOUDY SKIES MUCH OF THE
DAY. MINOR WARMING IS EXPECTED ON SATURDAY WITH HIGHS BACK INTO
THE MID 70S.

 &&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
MODELS STAYING ON TRACK TO BUILD FIRST SIGNIFICANT RIDGE OF THE WARM
SEASON NORTH INTO THE AREA SUN INTO TUE. HOWEVER...BY WED THE MODELS
ARE NOW SHOWING A FLATTENING OF THE RIDGE WITH A TROUGH MOVING
ACROSS THE LAKES SO WILL NEED CHANCE POPS IN FORECAST FOR WED AND
COULD EVEN BE ENOUGH JUSTIFICATION FOR AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE BY
TUE EVENING.

TEMPS CONTINUE TO LOOK WELL ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD ALTHOUGH
WED COULD BE MORE QUESTIONABLE AS FLOW MAY SHIFT TO NW OFF OF LAKE
ERIE LEADING TO COOLER TEMPS FOR LAKESHORE AREAS.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
OCCASIONAL LIFR IN THUNDERSTORMS FIRST HALF OF THE NIGHT. MVFR
SECOND HALF OF THE NIGHT AND MUCH OF THURSDAY.

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

&&

.MARINE...
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER NORTHERN OHIO WILL PUSH NORTH ACROSS THE
LAKE TONIGHT BUT THEN SAG SOUTH OF THE LAKE ON THURSDAY AS LOW
PRESSURE MOVES OVER NORTHERN OHIO. THIS HAS BEEN A CONCERN OVER THE
PAST FEW DAYS AS TO WHERE THIS BOUNDARY WAS GOING TO BE LOCATED AS
WINDS COULD BE DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT. GIVEN THE LATEST MODEL
GUIDANCE FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE SHIFTING WINDS MAINLY TO THE NORTH
AND NORTHEAST FOR LATE IN THE WEEK OVER THE LAKE THROUGH FRIDAY WITH
A TURN MORE SOUTHERLY NOT UNTIL SATURDAY AFTERNOON WITH HIGH
PRESSURE INFLUENCE. FOR NOW WILL KEEP WINDS AND WAVES BELOW SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY...BUT WILL HAVE TO WATCH ESPECIALLY THURSDAY NIGHT
AND INTO FRIDAY AS A SMALL INCREASE IN THE NE WINDS MAY CAUSE SMALL
CRAFT CONDITIONS. WINDS TURNING BACK SOUTHERLY BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON
WITH HIGH PRESSURE OFF THE EAST COAST AND ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE
APPROACHING FROM THE PLAINS STATES.
