AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PITTSBURGH PA
322 AM EDT FRI APR 15 2011

.SYNOPSIS...

HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE THE DRY AND MILD WEATHER TODAY, BUT
RAIN AND WINDY CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED FOR THE WEEKEND AS LOW
PRESSURE CROSSES THE GREAT LAKES REGION.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
SHORTWAVE RIDGE IS FORECAST TO SUPPRESS RAIN TODAY BUT CLOUDS AND
WIND WILL BE INCREASING AS STRONG LOW PRESSURE MOVES OUT OF THE
CENTRAL PLAINS. TEMPERATURES WERE FORECAST ABOUT 5 DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL USING A BLEND OF GUIDANCE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...

AS THE AFOREMENTIONED LOW DIGS TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES TONIGHT AND
SATURDAY, A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THAT SYSTEM AND HIGH
PRESSURE OVER NEW ENGLAND WILL RESULT IN WINDY CONDITIONS OVER THE
UPPER OHIO VALLEY. OP. MODELS HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT IN PROGS OF
VERY HIGH WIND ABOVE THE BOUNDARY LAYER...IN EXCESS OF 50
KTS...BUT MIXING IS EXPECTED TO BE RESTRICTED BY DEVELOPMENT OF
SUBSTANTIAL INVERSION IN THE WARM ADVECTION REGIME. HENCE, WIND
ADVISORY CRITERIA IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE MET OVER MOST OF THE
UPPER OHIO VALLEY REGION. THE EXCEPTION LOOKS TO BE FOR THE
RIDGES, AND FOR AREAS IMMEDIATELY WEST OF THE HIGHER TERRAIN WHERE
DOWNSLOPING AND FUNNELED SURFACE WIND MAY GENERATE SOME DAMAGING
GUSTS. WIND ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THOSE AREAS TONIGHT AND
INTO SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

AGAIN, NO MAJOR CHANGES WERE MADE TO RAIN FORECAST WITH START-TIMING ON
THE EASTERN FLANK OF THE LOW STILL FORECAST FOR THIS EVENING OVER
EAST CENTRAL OHIO. WIDESPREAD RAIN IS EXPECTED TO SPREAD OVER THE
REMAINER OF THE AREA DURING THE NIGHT, WILL ACCOMPANY THE WIND
THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING, AND MAY BE COMPLICATED BY THE PASSAGE
OF THE SYSTEMS OCCLUDED/COLD FRONT ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON. AT THIS
TIME, INSTABILITY PROGS ARE TOO LIMITED FOR THUNDER, AND WILL
LEAVE WEATHER TYPE AS RAIN. DAY SHIFT WILL REEVALUATE THAT CALL.
NEVERTHELESS, ADVANCE AND PASSAGE OF THAT FRONT WILL VEER THE WIND
OUT OF THE DOWNSLOPE REGIME AND DAMAGING GUST POTENTIAL SHOULD
DIMINISH BY 18Z WHILE RAIN COVERAGE SHOULD DIMINISH BY SUNDOWN.

RAINFALL TOTALS ARE FORECAST ON THE ORDER OF AN INCH, AND THAT
WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO SWELL SOME SMALL STREAMS AS WELL AS THE AREA
RIVERS. NO AREAL FLOOD WATCH NEEDED WITH THIS MORNINGS ISSUANCE
THOUGH.

CLOUDS/RAIN WILL LIMIT SATURDAY TEMPERATURES BUT READINGS SHOULD
AVERAGE OUT FAIRLY CLOSE TO NORMAL. TWEAKED SREF MEANS WERE USED
FOR THAT PARAMETER.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THE LOW WILL PULL NORTHEAST INTO QUEBEC BY SUNDAY...WITH NUMEROUS
SHOWERS SATURDAY NIGHT TAPERING TO SCATTERED COVERAGE ON SUNDAY.

SOME DRYING IS EXPECTED UNDER A WEAK SURFACE RIDGE LATE SUNDAY INTO
MONDAY NIGHT.  ANOTHER SURFACE FRONT IS PROGGED TO PUSH INTO THE
REGION TUESDAY BRINGING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS.

ANOTHER APPROACHING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL KEEP SCATTERED SHOWERS
OVER THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY ON WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR NORMAL THROUGH MONDAY AND WARM TO BETWEEN
5 AND 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL FOR TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /07Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...

AS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM APPROACHES FROM THE WEST...HIGH CLOUDS WILL
BE ON THE INCREASE DURING THE DAYTIME. IN ADDITION...WINDS WILL
BEGIN TO GUST. EASTERLY WINDS WILL GUST UP TO 20 KTS DURING THE
AFTERNOON...INCREASING TO 30 KTS DURING THE EVENING. RAIN WILL
ARRIVE LATE THIS EVENING INTO EARLY SATURDAY MORNING.

WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE PRIMARY CONCERN LATE TONIGHT AND INTO
SATURDAY. CANNOT RULE OUT 30-40 KT GUSTS AT ANY TAF SITE...WITH
EASTERLY DOWNSLOPING WINDS BRINGING THE GREATEST LIKELIHOOD OF HIGH
GUSTS AT LBE. IN ADDITION...VERY STRONG LOW LEVEL WINDS ALOFT WILL
LIKELY BRING 50-60 KT WINDS AS LOW AS 2KFT...PRIMARILY FROM SAT
06Z-18Z.

COLD FRONT WILL COME THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON...ENDING LLWS BUT
BRINGING ANOTHER CHANCE FOR 30 KT WIND GUSTS. SHOWERS AND
RESTRICTIONS SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING...WITH WEAK
RIDGING PROVIDING A BREAK FROM PRECIPITATION AND RESTRICTIONS SUNDAY
NIGHT INTO MONDAY.

ANOTHER SURFACE FRONT IS PROGGED TO PUSH INTO THE REGION MONDAY
NIGHT AND TUESDAY BRINGING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR
RESTRICTIONS.
