AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
1245 PM EST MON DEC 9 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
WEAK LOW PRESSURE OVER THE AREA WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTHEAST AND
OUT OF THE AREA DRAGGING A COLD FRONT EAST THIS MORNING. A RIDGE OF
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST. A FAST MOVING LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES
REGION TUESDAY WITH A REINFORCING ARCTIC COLD FRONT. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL BUILD EAST INTO THE OHIO VALLEY ON THURSDAY AND TO THE EAST
COAST ON FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE 1230 EST UPDATE.

COLD FRONT ANALYZED NEAR THE OH/PA BORDER THIS MORNING WITH AREAS
OF LIGHT DRIZZLE AND FLURRIES FALLING ACROSS THE I-71 CORRIDOR
WITH NO ACCUMULATION. THE 12Z SOUNDING FROM DETROIT INDICATES DRY
AIR IN THE LOW TO MID LEVELS OF THE ATMOS THAT WILL DAMPEN OUT
PRECIPITATION BY EARLY AFTERNOON.

TEMPERATURES HAVE WARMED INTO THE LOWER 30S ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND
EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS MORNING. COLDER AIR IS
STARTING TO FILTER INTO WESTERN OHIO BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. AS A
RESULT HIGH TEMPS WILL OCCUR THIS MORNING.

TONIGHT WE SHOULD START TO TRANSITION INTO SOME LAKE EFFECT OVER
THE EXTREME NORTHEAST PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA ALONG THE LAKE
SHORE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
UPPER LEVEL PATTERN IS TRENDING TOWARD BROAD TROUGH OVER THE CENTRAL
AND EASTERN UNITED STATES THROUGH THIS PERIOD. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR
SOME COLDER AIR TO MOVE SOUTH INTO THE FORECAST AREA.

UPPER LEVEL JET STREAK WILL MOVE NORTHEAST ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST TIER
LATER TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING. THIS FEATURE WILL BRING WITH IT
A CHANCE FOR SOME LIGHT SNOW. WILL GO WITH UP TO 50 PERCENT POPS FOR
TONIGHT AND SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 1 TO 2 INCHES ACROSS THE
SOUTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA.

FLOW BECOMES FAVORABLE UP THE LAKE SHORE FOR SOME LAKE EFFECT SNOW
SHOWERS TO OCCUR IN THAT AREA. THE COMBINATION OF THE LAKE EFFECT
AND THE UPPER LEVEL JET STREAK COULD CAUSE SOME ENHANCEMENT OF THE
SNOW ACROSS ERIE AND CRAWFORD COUNTIES IN PENNSYLVANIA DUE THE LEFT
FRONT QUAD. WILL HOLD OFF ON UPPING SNOW AMOUNTS THERE FOR NOW TO
SEE WHERE THE EXACT TRACK OF THIS UPPER LEVEL FEATURE MOVES.

WESTERN PORTIONS SHOULD BEGIN TO DRY OUT BEHIND THE COLD FRONT THAT
IS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH THE REGION.

MEAN FLOW BY WEDNESDAY IS EXPECTED TO BRING THE LAKE EFFECT SNOW
BAND INTO EXTREME NORTHEAST OHIO AND NORTHWEST PENNSYLVANIA. WITH
COLD AIR ADVECTION EXPECTED...POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR SOME LOCALIZED
HEAVIER SNOW ACCUMULATIONS. BUT...DUE TO QUITE A BIT OF DRY AIR IN
PLACE...THIS MAY LIMIT ACCUMULATIONS. SO...WILL HOLD OFF ON ISSUING
A LAKE EFFECT SNOW WATCH UNTIL WE GET A BETTER LOOK AT THINGS.

A FAIRLY FAST MOVING UPPER LEVEL VORTICITY MAXIMUM IS PROGGED TO
MOVE EAST INTO THE GREAT LAKES REGION AND WILL BRING WITH IT SOME
FAIRLY GOOD MID LEVEL MOISTURE. THIS WILL HELP TO SUPPORT THE LAKE
EFFECT SNOW THAT DEVELOPS.

OTHERWISE...THE REST OF THE FORECAST AREA WILL REMAIN FOR THE MOST
PART DRY THROUGH THE LATTER PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.

STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL TAKE PLACE TUESDAY IN THE WAKE OF THE
COLD FRONT WITH HIGHS BARELY MAKING IT OUT OF THE MIDDLE 20S. LOWS
TUESDAY NIGHT WILL DROP DOWN INTO THE TEENS MOST AREAS. NOT MUCH
IMPROVEMENT FOR WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS COLD AIR REMAINS
FIRMLY ENTRENCHED OVER THE REGION.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
MORE WINTRY WEATHER EXPECTED DURING THE LONG TERM PERIOD.  WILL
START THE PERIOD OUT DRY FRIDAY BUT PRECIP CHANCES WILL INCREASE
FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY.  THE NEW 00Z MODELS HAVE DIFFERING
SOLUTIONS BUT BOTH GIVE THE AREA ANOTHER ROUND OF SNOW.  THE ECMWF
SOLUTION WHICH HAS BEEN MORE CONSISTENT AND IS PREFERRED TODAY HAS
LOW PRESSURE PASSING TO THE SOUTH WITH AN INVERTED TROUGH SWINGING
ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA. THIS SETUP IS FAVORABLE FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW
AND IF THE 00Z RUN IS CORRECT SOME AREAS MAY NEED HEADLINES.  THE
GFS HAS A MUCH MORE NORTHERN LOW BUT ALSO GIVES SEVERAL INCHES OF
SNOW TO THE AREA.  EXPECT CONFIDENCE TO INCREASE AS THE WEEK
PROGRESSES AND THE MODELS SORT THEMSELVES OUT. WILL TRY TO DRY
THINGS OUT SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY BUT WILL KEEP SOME LAKE EFFECT
SNOW SHOWERS IN SNOWBELT INTO SUNDAY EVENING.  TEMPS WILL SLOWLY
MODERATE DURING THE PERIOD BUT HIGHS WILL REMAIN A GOOD 10 DEGREES
BELOW NORMAL EVEN ON SUNDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /17Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
FAIRLY WIDESPREAD AREA OF MVFR CEILINGS BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. A
WEAK WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP ON THE FRONT AND WILL
LIKELY BRING A SHORT PERIOD OF MVFR/IFR SNOW TO THE NE OH/NW PA
TAF SITES KMFD KCAK KYNG KERI LATER TONIGHT...PROBABLY ENDING
BEFORE OR AROUND DAYBREAK TUESDAY. KERI WILL SEE LAKE ENHANCED
SNOW WHICH COULD LINGER FOR A WHILE TUESDAY MORNING. GUSTY WEST TO
SOUTHWEST WIND THIS AFTERNOON...DECREASING TONIGHT ...AND
BECOMING GUSTY AGAIN TUESDAY. CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES WILL
IMPROVE TO VFR ON TUESDAY.

OUTLOOK...NON VFR CONDITIONS WILL LINGER AT TIMES THROUGH
THURSDAY...MAINLY OVER NE OH/NW PA.

&&

.MARINE...
HAVE HOISTED A SMALL CRAFT WHICH WILL RUN BELONG THE END OF THE
NEARSHORE PERIOD.  PER COORDINATION WITH BUF HAVE HELD OFF ON A GALE
WARNING TODAY.  COMFORTABLE GOING ONLY TO 30 KNOTS.  ALSO TOOK A
CLOSE LOOK AT THE SETUP FOR LATE TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT AND THINK
WINDS WILL AGAIN TOP OUT JUST BELOW GALE FORCE.  DO NOT THINK THE
COLD AIR ADVECTION BEHIND THE NEXT FRONT IS QUITE STRONG ENOUGH TO
BRING THE STRONGEST WINDS DOWN.  WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS WILL
CONTINUE INTO FRIDAY WITH SPEEDS AFTER WEDNESDAY SLOWING
DIMINISHING.  THE FLOW SHOULD BECOME SW ON FRIDAY AS THE SURFACE
RIDGE FINALLY MOVES OFF TO THE SOUTHEAST.  GIVEN THE FLOW EXPECTED
LATER TODAY THROUGH TOMORROW...WILL HAVE TO WATCH WATER LEVELS IN
THE WESTERN BASIN.  LATER SHIFTS MAY NEED TO CONSIDER A LOW WATER
ADVISORY.
