AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
300 PM EDT SAT AUG 27 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST TOWARD THE AREA THIS EVENING
AND DISSIPATE. HURRICANE IRENE WILL EXTEND A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE
NORTHWEST ACROSS THE AREA LATE TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING. THE
TROUGH WILL LIFT NORTH OF THE AREA SUNDAY EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL MOVE EAST INTO THE REGION ON MONDAY AND THEN MOVE EAST OF THE
REGION ON TUESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
THE COLD FRONT WILL SLIDE SOUTH INTO THE REGION AND BRING WITH IT
SOME CLOUDS. AIR MASS APPEARS TO BE RATHER DRY WITH LIMITED MOISTURE
SO DECIDED TO GO AHEAD AND DROP THE MENTION OF SPRINKLES OVERNIGHT
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA.

CLOUDS CURRENTLY OVER THE CENTRAL PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA ARE
THE RESULT OF LAKE EFFECT FROM LAKE ONTARIO TO LAKE ERIE CONNECTION.
ONCE THE SUN SETS...THE DIURNAL NATURE OF THE LAKE INDUCED CLOUDS
WILL DISSIPATE.  I STILL THINK THERE WILL STILL BE ENOUGH CLOUDS FOR
PARTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT AND IRENE TONIGHT.

GRADIENT IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE ACROSS THE AREA OVERNIGHT AS IRENE
PUSHES NORTH AND COLD FRONT APPROACHES. LOOKING AT WINDS BETWEEN 10
AND 15 KNOTS INLAND AND A BIT HIGHER NEAR THE LAKE SHORE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
THE HURRICANE WILL PULL OFF TO THE NORTHEAST AND TAKE THE DECK OF
CLOUDS WITH IT SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND SUNDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BUILD EAST INTO THE REGION IN THE WAKE OF THE HURRICANE AND THEN
MOVE OFF TO THE EAST COAST ON TUESDAY.

EXPECTING FAIR WEATHER TO DOMINATE THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH MUCH OF
THE PERIOD. ONLY PROBLEM WILL BE THE NEXT COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY THAT
PUSHES SOUTH MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. MODELS INDICATE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY WILL STALL JUST NORTH OF LAKE ERIE AND DISSIPATE. CURRENT
FORECAST HAD A MENTION OF A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SHOWERS IN THE NORTH
IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE FRONT. THREAT FOR SHOWERS IS MARGINAL AT
BEST SO WILL JUST LEAVE THE MENTION IN FOR NOW.

HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE BUILDS SOUTH ACROSS THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT INTO
WEDNESDAY AND DOMINATES THE WEATHER INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

I AM LOOKING AT A SLIGHT WARMING TREND OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS AS
COOL AIR IN PLACE BEGINS TO MODIFY WITH TIME. EXPECTING HIGHS TO BE
BACK IN THE LOWER 80S WEST HALF BY TUESDAY AND MID TO UPPER 70S EAST
HALF. ALL AREAS SHOULD BE IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 80S BY WEDNESDAY.
LOWS THROUGH THE PERIOD WARMING FROM THE 50S EARLY IN THE PERIOD TO
THE LOWER 60S BY THE END OF THE PERIOD.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE EXTENDED IS NOT TOTALLY CLEAR CUT AS SOME OF THE MODELS
HOLD THE HIGH PRESSURE IN PLACE TIL LATE FRIDAY...WHILE SOME OTHER
MODELS HINT TO MOVE AN UPPER TROUGH INTO THE AREA WEDNESDAY FOLLOWED
BY A WARM FRONT THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. I WILL PROBABLY LEAN TOWARDS
KEEPING IT DRY UNTIL SATURDAY WHEN A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE
NORTHERN GREAT LAKES REGION AND BRING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO THE AREA.

WITH THE THREAT OF A WARM FRONT LURKING IN THE AREA WE WOULD EXPECT
TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOVE NORMAL THURSDAY AND FRIDAY BUT STILL NEAR
OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL ON SATURDAY AS THE CLOUDS AND MOISTURE
INCREASE.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER NORTHERN OHIO AND NORTHWEST PA WILL
WEAKEN THIS AFTERNOON AS THE HURRICANE MOVES UP THE EAST COAST. A
COLD FRONT OVER LOWER MICHIGAN WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST BUT WILL ALSO
WEAKEN. SOME CUMULUS CLOUDS WILL DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AND COULD
BECOME BROKEN OVERNIGHT DUE TO AN UPPER TROF AND THE APPROACHING
COLD FRONT.

DUE TO THE FLOW BECOMING MORE NORTHEAST...SOME LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
COULD RESULT IN ISOLATED SPRINKLES/VERY BRIEF RAIN SHOWERS. I
STILL EXPECT SOME VFR CONDITIONS TONIGHT. A FEW AREAS OF MVFR
CEILINGS COULD DEVELOP OVER NORTHEAST OHIO TOWARD DAYBREAK
SUNDAY.

OUTLOOK...MVFR BR POSSIBLE DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS OF
MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY....OTHERWISE MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS.

&&

.MARINE...
HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE ACROSS THE AREA EARLY THIS AFTERNOON
WILL WEAKEN BY THIS EVENING AS A COLD FRONT DROPS ACROSS LAKE
ERIE AND DEVELOPS A NORTHEAST FLOW. AS THIS STRONGER NORTHEAST
FLOW BECOMES BETTER ORGANIZED IT WILL PRODUCE WINDS AND WAVES THAT
WILL REQUIRE A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY BEING POSTED...BEGINNING THIS
EVENING.

DUE TO UNSETTLED WIND AND WAVE CONDITIONS DEVELOPING TONIGHT A
MODERATE TO HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK IS EXPECTED FOR MUCH OF SUNDAY.

THE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO DECREASE BY SUNDAY EVENING AS THE
HURRICANE MOVES THROUGH MAINE. HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO BUILD
INTO THE AREA SUNDAY NIGHT AND WILL REMAIN THE MAIN INFLUENCE OF THE
WEATHER OVER THE LAKE FOR MUCH OF THIS WEEK. FOR MUCH OF THE WORK
WEEK THE WINDS AND WAVES ARE NOT EXPECTED TO REACH SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY CRITERIA.

&&

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