AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
128 PM EDT SUN MAR 25 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER TROF WILL MOVE EAST OF THE AREA TODAY AS A RIDGE
APPROACHES THE REGION. THE RIDGE WILL BEGIN BUILDING IN ON MONDAY
AND MOVE EAST ON TUESDAY. A FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL MOVE THROUGH THE
EASTERN GREAT LAKES LATE TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
AREAS OF FOG CONTINUE TO PERSIST...MAINLY ACROSS THE CENTRAL
PORTIONS OF THE CWA. THE WORST OF THE FOG SEEMS TO BE NEAR THE
LAKESHORE FROM ERIE COUNTY OHIO TO NEAR LAKE COUNTY. WE WILL ISSUE
A SHORT TERM FORECAST TO COVER THIS.

HIGHS THIS AFTERNOON ARE CHALLENGING WITH THE UNCERTAINTY ON HOW
FAST THE CLOUD COVER WILL THIN. AT THIS POINT WE ONLY MADE MINOR
CHANGES TO THE DIURNAL TEMPERATURE TREND THROUGH THE DAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
SKIES WILL BE MOSTLY CLEAR AS THE RIDGE CONTINUES TO BUILD TOWARD
THE AREA. THE RIDGE WILL STILL BE FAR ENOUGH WEST THAT WE WILL BE IN
A NORTHERLY FLOW. THE QUESTION IS HOW STRONG WILL THE SURFACE WINDS
BE. THE NAM HAS SOME WIND AROUND 10 MPH WHILE THE GFS IS NOT AS
STRONG. ATTM MY LEANING IS JUST TO MENTION PATCHY FROST AT INLAND
LOCATIONS EVEN WITH SOME LOWS IN THE MID 30S.

PLENTY OF SUNSHINE ON MONDAY. THE NORTHERLY WINDS WILL BE STRONG
ENOUGH TO KEEP TEMPERATURES COOL. USED A BLEND OF THE MOS GUIDANCE.
WITH THE LAKE TEMPERATURE IN THE LOWER 40S THAT SHOULD HELP
TEMPERATURES WARM A LITTLE.

FOR MONDAY NIGHT MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES...COULD BE A LITTLE CIRRUS AND
LIGHT WINDS AND JUST PLENTY OF COLD AIR FLOWING IN. WENT WITH A
FREEZE WATCH. THESE LOWS MAY JUST BE A LITTLE BELOW NORMAL...BUT
WITH THE RECENT WARM WEATHER...PLENTY OF BUDS OUT ON TREES AND IF
PEOPLE PLANTED FLOWERS THESE COLD TEMPERATURES COULD DAMAGE THEM.
THIS COLD WEATHER IS A BRIEF SHOT. ALL THE MODELS AGREE...LOWS
WILL BE IN THE 20S. WENT ON THE WARMER SIDE OF THE GUIDANCE BUT
THE READINGS ARE STILL BELOW FREEZING.

A FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL AFFECT THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT INTO
WEDNESDAY. IT WILL BE A BRIEF SHOT. MODELS ARE IN GENERAL
AGREEMENT ON THIS.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE MODELS START OUT IN AGREEMENT FOR THU WITH COOLER TEMPS AND
POSSIBLE LAKE EFFECT SHRA FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRESSURE AND DRY WEATHER
FOR FRI. THE MODEL DIFFERENCES START BY SAT WITH THE GFS BEING MUCH
FASTER WITH NEXT SYSTEM AND PRECIP FOR SAT. THIS FAR OUT DON'T HAVE
MUCH OF A FEEL ON WHICH WAY TO GO SO WILL AT LEAST BRING IN A SMALL
CHANCE SHRA FOR SAT WHICH SHOULD MATCH UP WELL FOR COLLABORATION
PURPOSES.

&&

.AVIATION /17Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
EXPECT MARGINAL IMPROVEMENT IN THE STRATUS/FOG FOR THE AFTERNOON
PUSH. COLD FRONT ACROSS NORTHERN MICHIGAN WILL PUSH ACROSS
FORECAST AREA OVERNIGHT. THINK CLOUDS AHEAD OF FRONT WILL BEGIN TO
FILL IN TOWARD SUNSET...BUT CONFIDENCE IS LOW AS TO HOW MUCH.

MODELS CLEAR OUT SKIES BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON AS HIGH PRESSURE
BEHIND THE FRONT BUILDS IN. STILL DOUBT IN MY MIND WHETHER LAKE
EFFECT CLOUDS WILL DEVELOP TOMORROW AFTERNOON. 850MB TEMPS DIP TO
MINUS 10C...HOWEVER VERY DRY AIRMASS.

.OUTLOOK...NON VFR POSSIBLE ALONG A COLD FRONT TUESDAY NIGHT INTO
EARLY WED AND AGAIN ON WED NIGHT.

&&

.MARINE...
NORTH WINDS WILL INCREASE AND LEAD TO SCA CONDITIONS LATER TONIGHT
OR MONDAY. WINDS WILL DECREASE AND TURN NE MON NIGHT THEN VEER TO
SOUTH BY TUE NIGHT. A COLD FRONT IS ON TRACK TO CROSS THE LAKE WED
MORNING. SW FLOW WILL INCREASE AHEAD OF THE FRONT TURNING TO W THEN
NW AFTER FROPA WITH SCA CONDITIONS EXPECTED. WINDS SHOULD TURN NORTH
AND DIMINISH SOME FOR THU.

&&

.CLE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
