AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
701 PM EST MON JAN 23 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THIS EVENING. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL START MOVING ACROSS THE REGION STARTING TUESDAY NIGHT
AND WILL MOVE EAST BY THURSDAY MORNING. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL
MOVE THROUGH LATE THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
WE WILL ALLOW THE WIND ADVISORY TO EXPIRE AT 7 PM. THERE WILL
STILL BE A FEW HIGHER GUSTS BUT BELIEVE THEY WILL BE 40 MPH OR
LESS.

OTHERWISE IT APPEARS THAT MOST OF THE SHOWERS HAVE ENDED. WE WILL
NOW AWAIT THE ARRIVAL OF THE COLDER AIR TO SEE IF ANY LAKE EFFECT
SNOW SHOWERS CAN DEVELOP ACROSS NW PA. ANY SNOWFALL THAT DOES
OCCUR WILL BE LIGHT WITH A DUSTING POSSIBLE.

ONLY MADE MINOR CHANGES TO OTHER GRIDS TO REFLECT CURRENT
CONDITIONS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
SOME LINGERING SNOW SHOWERS AS THE FLOW BECOMES WEST TUESDAY. NOT
EXPECTING MUCH AS THE LAKE AND 850 MB TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE WILL
BE SMALL. HIGH PRESSURE STARTS BUILDING IN TUESDAY NIGHT. A FRONT
MOVES THROUGH LATE THURSDAY. SOME QUESTION ON THE THREAT OF
PRECIPITATION....WILL KEEP THE POPS LOWS.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
ANOTHER TROF MOVES THROUGH LATE FRIDAY. SOME QUESTION ON WHETHER
THIS WILL OCCUR. KEPT THE POPS LOW UNTIL CONFIDENCE IS BETTER.

LOW PRESSURE MOVES OFF TO THE NORTHEAST SATURDAY AND SATURDAY
NIGHT SETTING UP ANOTHER ROUND OF LAKE EFFECT SNOW ACTIVITY. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD NORTHEAST TOWARD THE AREA HELPING TO ENHANCE
THE LAKE EFFECT SNOW AND COLD AIR ADVECTION INTO THE REGION.
GRADIENT ACTUALLY INCREASES FROM THE WEST SO THERE IS THE
POSSIBILITY WE COULD SEE A FAIRLY GOOD LAKE EFFECT SNOW EVENT IN
THE NORTHEAST OVER THE WEEKEND.

THE WESTERN AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA SHOULD BEGIN
TO FEEL THE INFLUENCES OF THE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING NORTHEAST WITH
GENERALLY FAIR WEATHER EXPECTED...ESPECIALLY SUNDAY.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE 30S FOR HIGHS SATURDAY BUT WITH COLD AIR
ADVECTION...TEMPERATURES DROP INTO THE 20S FOR SUNDAY. OVERNIGHT
LOWS DIP INTO THE 20S SATURDAY NIGHT BUT COLDER SUNDAY NIGHT INTO
THE TEENS TO LOWER 20S.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
COLD FRONT HAS CLEARED ALL OF THE TAF SITES WITH A FEW LINGERING
LIGHT SHOWERS MOVING THROUGH CAK/YNG/ERI THROUGH 02Z. WESTERLY WINDS
WILL CONTINUE TO GUST TO NEAR 30 KNOTS THIS EVENING...WITH GUSTS
DROPPING DOWN BELOW 23 KNOTS AFTER 5-6Z. OTHERWISE MVFR CLOUD DECK
EXTENDS BACK TO IOWA AND WILL FAVOR THE SLOWER CLEARING TREND SEEN
ON THE NAM WITH MVFR CLOUDS HOLDING INTO TUESDAY...GRADUALLY
SCATTERING OUT FROM SOUTH TO NORTH DURING THE MID TO LATE AFTERNOON.
BREEZY WESTERLY WINDS WILL ALSO CONTINUE INTO TUESDAY AFTERNOON
BEFORE BECOMING LIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE OHIO VALLEY.

.OUTLOOK...NON VFR LIKELY THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT.

&&

.MARINE...
NORTHEAST WINDS OF 10-20 KNOTS WILL DEVELOP OVERNIGHT AS LOW
PRESSURE TRACKS THROUGH THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY. WAVES IN THE
NEARSHORE WATERS WILL BUILD NEAR THE ISLANDS...POSSIBLY
APPROACHING 4 FEET FOR A BRIEF WINDOW SATURDAY MORNING. AT THIS TIME
IT LOOKS TOO MARGINAL...ESPECIALLY WITH SOME ICE DEVELOPING ALONG
THE SHORELINE FOR A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY. WE WILL TAKE ANOTHER LOOK
AT HOW WINDS DO OVERNIGHT BEFORE MAKING THE FINAL CALL. THIS SYSTEM
WILL QUICKLY PASS TO THE EAST ON SATURDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
OVER THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES.

THE NEXT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TO WATCH WILL EVOLVE OUT OF THE PLAINS
AND APPROACH THE WESTERN AND UPPER GREAT LAKES ON MONDAY. THIS WILL
RESULT IN INCREASING SOUTHERLY WINDS...VEERING TO SOUTHWEST BEHIND A
COLD FRONT LATE IN THE DAY. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES MAY BE NEEDED EARLY
NEXT WEEK.

&&

.CLE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
OH...NONE.
PA...NONE.
MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 4 PM EST TUESDAY FOR LEZ145>149.
     SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 9 AM EST TUESDAY FOR LEZ142>144.

...GUSTY WINDS EXPECTED THROUGH 1 AM...

SOUTHWEST TO WEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE GUSTY THROUGH 1 AM AS
COLDER AIR SPILLS INTO NORTHERN OHIO AND NORTHWESTERN
PENNSYLVANIA. SUSTAINED WIND SPEEDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH ARE EXPECTED
WITH WIND GUSTS AROUND 45 MPH LIKELY. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO BLOW
AROUND SMALL OBJECTS AND MAY CAUSE TWIGS OR SMALL BRANCHES TO
BREAK ON TREES.

THE STRONGER WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO DECREASE AFTER 1 AM BUT WILL
LIKELY GUST TO 30 MPH THROUGH SUNRISE. THIS WILL MAKE IT FEEL
MUCH COOLER WITH WIND CHILLS DROPPING INTO THE TEENS.
