AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
1235 AM EST FRI FEB 24 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WILL MOVE
NE ACROSS OHIO TONIGHT...AND ACROSS NEW ENGLAND FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO THE PRECIPITATION MOVING NORTHEAST OUT OF
THE AREA. STILL EXPECTING SOME SCATTERED ACTIVITY THROUGH THE DAY
AS LOW PRESSURE LIFTS NORTHEAST INTO THE REGION.
&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
EXPECT DRY SLOT TOWARD DAYBREAK AS LOW LIFTS NORTH OF AREA...HOWEVER
PRECIPITATION SHOULD INCREASE LATE MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON AS A
STRONG VORT MAX SWINGS ACROSS THE AREA.  COLD FRONT SHOULD PUSH EAST
OF AREA BY LATE MORNING SO HIGH TEMPS WILL OCCUR DURING MORNING AND
FALL DURING THE AFTERNOON.  AS A RESULT EXPECT PRECIP TO
TRANSITION FROM RAIN TO SNOW DURING THE AFTERNOON AS TEMPS FALL.

IN ADDITION WINDS LOOK LIKE THEY WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH TO REACH
ADVISORY LEVELS FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...ESPECIALLY AS STRONG
PRESSURE RISES PUSH INTO THE EASTERN HALF OF THE REGION.

SHOULD BE A BRIEF LULL IN THE SYNOPTIC SNOW FRIDAY EVENING...BUT
LAKE EFFECT SETS UP IN THE SNOWBELT EAST OF CLEVELAND FRIDAY NIGHT
AS 850 TEMPS DIP TO MINUS 12C.  COULD SEE AS MUCH AS 2 TO 4 INCHES
IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE SNOWBELT.  LAKE EFFECT SNOW
ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED AND WE WILL MONITOR MODELS FOR
HIGHER AMOUNTS.

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN SATURDAY NIGHT CHOCKING OFF THE LAKE
EFFECT.  SUNDAY SHOULD BE DRY AND A LITTLE WARMER AS HIGH PRESSURE
MOVES ACROSS THE LOWER LAKES.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
GFS AND ECMWF ARE SIMILAR DURING THE LONG TERM BUT ENOUGH
DIFFERENCES DO CROP UP THAT WOULD IMPACT THE FORECAST ACROSS THE
OHIO VALLEY. THE FORECAST BEGINS ON MONDAY WITH DRY AIR ACROSS THE
REGION HOWEVER SURFACE LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED BY BOTH MODELS TO BE
MOVING ACROSS THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES SO IF THE TRACK IS DISPLACED
SOUTH ON SUBSEQUENT RUNS THE FORECAST WILL NEED TO BE CHANGED.  THIS
CONTINUES MONDAY NIGHT AND INTO TUESDAY BEFORE CLOUDS INCREASE FROM
THE WEST AS LOW PRESSURE STRENGTHENS IN THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. MODELS
BEGIN TO DIFFER HERE WITH THE ECMWF DEVELOPING A SHARPER UPPER TROF
ACROSS THE WESTERN PLAINS. DIFFERENCES AT THE SURFACE AS WELL WITH
THE ECMWF WINDING UP THE LOW OVER WRN NE WHILE THE GFS HAS A WEAKER
LOW IN TX. BASICALLY WILL FOLLOW AN HPC/ECMWF MIX THAT STARTS RAIN
CHANCES TUESDAY CONTINUING THROUGH WEDNESDAY.  COLDER AIR WILL DROP
ACROSS THE AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT BEHIND THE
SYSTEM TURNING ANY PRECIP TO SNOW. TEMPS NEAR TO ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
SOME OVERRUNNING PRECIPITATION WILL OCCUR OVERNIGHT AHEAD OF A
LOW THAT WILL MOVE INTO SOUTHERN OHIO AND THEN UP INTO NORTHEAST
OHIO AND THEN INTO ONTARIO. MOST AREAS WILL BE
RAIN...HOWEVER...SOME SNOW COULD OCCUR NEAR TOL AND IN PARTS OF
INLAND NW PA BEFORE IT CHANGES TO RAIN. THE DRY SLOT IS TRYING TO
WORK ITS WAY UP INTO THE AREA. IT MAY TAKE SOME TIME. THE QUESTION
IS WILL THE DRY SLOT BE MVFR OR IFR. ATTM LEANING TOWARD MVFR. THE
HRRR MODEL HAS SOME RAIN SHOWERS AROUND DAYBREAK NW OHIO AND THEN
SOME SNOW SHOWERS DEVELOP BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. SOME THUNDER IS
POSSIBLE...AT THIS TIME NOT MENTIONING IT. AS THE SNOW SHOWERS
DEVELOP AS THE LOW MOVES INTO ONTARIO IT WILL BECOME QUITE WINDY
WITH WIND GUSTS TO 50 MPH POSSIBLE ACROSS THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA
MAINLY FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WITH THE SNOW AND WIND PLENTY
OF BLOWING AND DRIFTING WILL OCCUR AND VISIBILITIES WILL BE 2
MILES OR LESS. THE SNOW SHOWERS WILL BEGIN TO DECREASE FRIDAY
EVENING EXCEPT IN THE SNOW BELT AREAS. HOWEVER...CEILINGS WILL
REMAIN MVFR EXCEPT IFR IN THE SNOW BELT.

OUTLOOK...PERIODS OF NON-VFR LIKELY FRIDAY EVENING THROUGH
SATURDAY EVENING.

&&

.MARINE...
UPDATED TO ADD GALE WATCH FOR THE EAST END OF THE LAKE FOR LATE
FRIDAY AFTERNOON TO LATE FRIDAY NIGHT. SINCE ALL THE 00Z MODEL
RUNS WERE NOT IN YET...CONFIDENCE WAS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO GO WITH A
GALE WARNING. THE BOUNDARY LAYER AND 925 MB WINDS WILL BE AROUND
40 KNOTS AND WITH MODEST COLD ADVECTION SUSTAINED WINDS OF 35
KNOTS LOOK REASONABLE.

CENTER OF LOW PRESSURE TO MOVE TO LAKE ERIE BY FRIDAY MORNING AND
TO LAKE ONTARIO BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON. LOW WILL BE DEEPENING AND THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL BE TIGHT. EXPECT WINDS TO INCREASE OUT OF
THE NORTHEAST TONIGHT...DIMINISH SOME AS THE LOW IS VERY NEAR
EARLY FRIDAY. THE NORTHEAST FETCH WILL MAKE THE WEST END CHOPPY
OVERNIGHT...BUT UNDER SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA. AFTER THE LOW PASSES
WINDS WILL ABRUPTLY INCREASE FROM THE SOUTHWEST AND SHIFT WEST BY
AFTERNOON. WE MAY REACH GALE FORCE FOR A SHORT TIME...MAYBE A 3-6
HOUR WINDOW DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVE. CONFIDENCE IS LOW
AND AFTER FORECASTER COLLABORATION DECIDED AGAINST A GALE WATCH.
OTHERWISE A SOLID 25 TO 30 KNOTS ON THE LAKE FROM FRIDAY AFTERNOON
THROUGH THE DAY ON SATURDAY. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL BE
NEEDED. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN SUNDAY. A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BE
IN THE VICINITY OF THE CENTRAL LAKES FROM SUNDAY NIGHT INTO
TUESDAY...WITH UNCERTAINTIES WHEN IT WILL SLIP ACROSS LAKE ERIE
EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&
