AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
100 PM EDT WED JUL 18 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT OVER LOWER MICHIGAN WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA
LATER TODAY AND THEN BECOME STATIONARY ACROSS CENTRAL OHIO
TONIGHT AND THURSDAY. THE FRONT WILL REACH THE OHIO RIVER LATE THURSDAY
NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE OVER CENTRAL CANADA WILL SLOWLY BUILD TOWARD
THE REGION THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
CONVECTION STARTING TO DEVELOP. SLIGHTLY FURTHER NORTH THAN
EARLIER THOUGHT. LIKELY ALONG AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM EARLY
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS NORTH OF THE LAKE THIS MORNING.

A FEW LOCATIONS ACROSS THE SOUTH MAY BRIEFLY TOUCH HEAT ADVISORY
CONDITIONS BUT CLOUD COVER IS ON THE INCREASE AND BELIEVE THE
THUNDERSTORMS WILL COOL THINGS QUICKLY.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
CHALLENGING THUNDERSTORM FORECAST FOR THE AFTERNOON. SOME OF THE
STORMS THAT DEVELOP WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME SEVERE.
STRONG WINDS AND LARGE HAIL WILL BE THE MAIN THREATS.

SEVERAL FEATURES TO WATCH THROUGH THE DAY. CURRENT CONVECTION OVER
CENTRAL MICHIGAN TO EASTERN LAKE ERIE HAVE DEVELOPED NEAR THE
850MB BOUNDARY. THIS BOUNDARY WILL SLOWLY SAG SOUTHWARD THROUGH
THE DAY. THIS SHOULD BRING ADDITIONAL CLOUD COVER SOUTHWARD INTO
AT LEAST THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE REGION WHICH SHOULD KEEP THIS
REGION FROM REACH HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA.

THE OTHER 2 FEATURES TO WATCH AREA RIPPLE OF LOW PRESSURE ALONG
THE FRONT THAT HAS MOVED INTO NW OHIO. YOU CAN ALSO SEE THIS
RIPPLE IN THE WATER VAPOR IMAGERY. THIS FEATURE AND THE PROXIMITY
OF A WEAK FRONT/OUTFLOW HAVE BEEN ENOUGH TO GENERATE CONVECTION
OVER SW MICHIGAN. BELIEVE IT WILL FURTHER ASSIST WITH THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE BOUNDARY AS IT MOVES
FURTHER EAST. THE SURFACE BOUNDARY AS OF 14Z WAS LOCATED NEAR A
KJHW TO SOUTH OF KCLE TO THE VICINITY OF KTOL. BELIEVE MOST OF THE
SEVERE CONVECTION WILL DEVELOP NEAR AND SOUTH OF THIS BOUNDARY.
HOWEVER AS NOTED ABOVE THE 850 MB BOUNDARY IS STILL NORTH OF THE
REGION SO CANT RULE OUT STRONG TO SEVERE NORTH OF THE SURFACE
BOUNDARY. WE HAVE PLACED THE BEST CHANCES OF THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE REGION.

WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE EXTREME SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE
COUNTY WARNING AREA FOR POSSIBLE HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA. IT WILL
LIKELY GET CLOSE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
EXPECTING THE THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS TO DECREASE QUICKLY FROM THE
NORTH THIS EVENING. THURSDAY IS A TOUGH FORECAST. THE NAM KEEPS THE FRONT
VERY CLOSE TO THE REGION AND IF THAT IS CORRECT THAT WOULD MEAN A
LOT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE WHOLE FORECAST AREA.
GOING MORE WITH THE GFS AND ECMWF AND WILL KEEP THE HIGHS POPS
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA. AS THE FRONT SAGS
SOUTH THURSDAY NIGHT THE THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL DECREASE
FROM NORTH TO SOUTH. FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY NIGHT WILL BE DRY AS
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM CANADA. USED A BLEND OF GUIDANCE FOR
THE TEMPERATURE FORECAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE OHIO VALLEY WILL KEEP SUNDAY QUIET. A FRONTAL
BOUNDARY WILL BE LURKING ACROSS THE CENTRAL LAKES...BUT TIMING THIS
INTO OUR AREA IS STILL DIFFICULT. WILL STICK WITH THE PREVIOUS
FORECAST AND HAVE CHANCE POPS FOR MONDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE
WARMING INTO THE UPPER 80S/NEAR 90 FOR SUN-MON. IF FRONT COMES
THROUGH OR IS NEARBY STILL WITH CLOUD COVER...EXPECTING SLIGHTLY
COOLER TUE. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE NORTH OF THE AREA.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT LOOKS TO BE NEAR A FDY TO YNG LINE. AFTERNOON
CONVECTION SHOULD FIRE UP ALONG AND NEAR THE BOUNDARY SO WILL FOCUS
TSRA THREAT FOR SOUTHERN 4 TAF SITES. STILL NOT SURE WHETHER
ACTIVITY IN LOWER MI WILL MAKE IT SE ACROSS LERI TO POSSIBLY AFFECT
CLE BUT LEANING TOWARD THIS NOT HAPPENING.

MOST CONVECTION SHOULD SHIFT SOUTH OF TAF SITES TOWARD SUNSET. LIGHT
WINDS AND LEFTOVER LOW LEVEL MOISTURE SHOULD LEAD TO FOG FORMATION.
LEFTOVER HIGHER CLOUDS SHOULD HELP TO KEEP FOG FROM GETTING DENSE IN
MOST PLACES SO LEANING TOWARD JUST MVFR OR HIGH END IFR FOG.

FOG SHOULD DISSIPATE BY LATE THU MORNING. MODELS CONTINUE TO BRING
ANOTHER WAVE OF CONVECTION ESE INTO THE AREA THU BUT BEST THREAT
STILL APPEARS TO BE OVER W HALF OF THE AREA WHERE AIRMASS REMAINS
MORE SUPPORTIVE.

.OUTLOOK...A CHANCE OF NON-VFR THURSDAY AFTERNOON...MAINLY SW PART
OF AREA. LOCAL NON VFR POSSIBLE AGAIN BY LATE MONDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
COLD FRONT SINKING SOUTH ACROSS THE LAKE THIS MORNING. SOME
SHOWERS/TS ASSOCIATED WITH IT...BUT MOST OF THE ACTIVITY WILL BE
INLAND. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT FROM THE NORTH AFTER THE FRONT. HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS ONTARIO FOR THU-FRI...SHIFTING EAST SAT/SUN.
THIS WILL PRODUCE A PERIOD OF NORTHEAST FLOW. THIS PERSISTENT FLOW
DOWN THE LENGTH OF THE LAKE WILL LIKELY MAKE THE ISLANDS A LITTLE
CHOPPY. WILL GO WITH AN AVERAGE OF 4 FOOTERS...A SMALL CRAFT ADV MAY
BE NEEDED THU/FRI. COULD DEFINITELY SEE 15 KNOTS...POSSIBLY UPWARDS
OF 20 KNOTS. BY SATURDAY WINDS RELAX AND BY SUNDAY SHIFT TO COME OUT
OF THE SOUTH.

&&

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