AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
343 AM EST WED FEB 20 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
DEEP LOW PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE OUT TO THE NORTHEAST AS A
RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST BY THURSDAY NIGHT.
THE RIDGE WILL MOVE TO THE EAST COAST BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON. LOW
PRESSURE WILL MOVE NORTHEAST INTO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES AND FORCE
A WARM FRONT TO LIFT NORTH FRIDAY AFTERNOON. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE
EAST ACROSS THE REGION FRIDAY NIGHT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
STRONG UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER THE FORECAST AREA WILL MOVE GRADUALLY
EAST AS OMEGA BLOCKING RIDGE SHIFTS EAST AS WELL SLOWLY. AS
ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES EAST OF THE
REGION...THE CYCLONIC MOIST FLOW AND LAKE ENHANCEMENT SHOULD
GRADUALLY SHIFT MORE INLAND TODAY. LAKE EFFECT SNOW ADVISORY WILL
REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR THE LAKE SHORE UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING AND
THROUGH 7 PM THIS EVENING INLAND IN THE NORTHEAST.  LATEST RADAR AND
OBSERVATIONS SHOW AN AREA OF CONVERGENCE TAKING PLACE OVER THE LAKE
SHORE FROM ABOUT DOWNTOWN CLEVELAND INTO NORTHEAST OHIO. MODERATE
SNOW HAS BEEN REPORTED FROM THIS AREA AND HAS BEEN STEADY THROUGH
THE NIGHT. AS MENTIONED ABOVE...WITH FLOW SHIFTING MORE
NORTHWESTERLY...THE CONVERGENCE SHOULD TRANSITION INTO MORE OF A
MULTI BANDED STRUCTURE AND SHIFT THE ACCUMULATING SNOW FURTHER
INLAND.

THREAT FOR SNOW SHOWERS OR FLURRIES COMES TO AN END THIS MORNING
OVER THE REST OF THE FORECAST AREA AS DRIER AIR INFILTRATES THE
FORECAST AREA. CYCLONIC FLOW WILL KEEP CLOUDS IN OVER THIS AREA
THROUGH THE DAY AS WELL.

COLD AIR ADVECTION AROUND THE LOW AND IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE HIGH
PRESSURE RIDGE WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES ABOUT 20 OR SO DEGREES COLDER
THAN YESTERDAYS EARLY MORNING HIGHS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
A BRIEF PERIOD OF DRY WEATHER CONTINUES FOR MUCH OF THE FORECAST
AREA TONIGHT AS A RESULT OF THE DRIER AIR MOVING INTO THE REGION.
LAKE EFFECT WILL LIKELY CONTINUE IN THE EXTREME NORTHEAST THROUGH
THE NIGHT IN THE FORM OF LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS OR FLURRIES.

JUST AS THE LAKE EFFECT COMES TO AN END IN THE NORTHEAST...THE NEXT
SYSTEM WILL ADVANCE IN FAIRLY QUICKLY FROM THE SOUTHWEST. A WARM
FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA AND BEGIN TO SPREAD PRECIPITATION INTO
THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE REGION BY LATE THURSDAY AND THE ENTIRE
AREA BY FRIDAY MORNING. STILL A BIG QUESTION ON WHAT THE
PRECIPITATION TYPE WILL BE FOR FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY AS A SURGE OF
WARM AIR PUSHES NORTH. SOME MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS PRECIPITATION
COULD CHANGE OVER TO ALL RAIN ON FRIDAY OR EVEN BE MIXED WITH
FREEZING RAIN. DUE TO CONSISTENCY AND COLLABORATION WITH SURROUNDING
OFFICES...WILL HOLD ON TO THE MENTION OF SNOW FOR NOW ON FRIDAY AND
THE MIXED PRECIPITATION FRIDAY NIGHT.

COLD FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH THE REGION SATURDAY BUT SHOULD BE WEAK AND
THE PRECIPITATION WILL SHIFT WELL EAST OF THE REGION. SOME LINGERING
SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE PRESENT IN THE NORTHEAST SATURDAY NIGHT.
OTHERWISE...REST OF THE FORECAST AREA WILL BE DRY. COLD AIR
ADVECTION SHOULD NOT BE TOO STRONG SO LOOKING AT TEMPERATURES BACK
TO THE MIDDLE 20S FOR LOWS SATURDAY NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
FOLLOWED THE ECMWF FOR THE LONG TERM WITH THE MODELS SHOWING AN
UPPER LOW OVER THE CENTRAL LAKES WHICH MOVES ESE THROUGH THE DAY
SUNDAY TO NEW ENGLAND BY EVENING. AVAILABLE MOISTURE AND 850MB TEMPS
OVER THE LAKE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS NORTHEAST OHIO
AND NORTHWEST PA DURING THE DAY.  TO OUR WEST AN UPPER RIDGE WILL BE
BUILDING EAST AND SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY THIS SHOULD MOVE INTO THE
AREA.  EXPECT MONDAY TO BE A DECENT DAY HOWEVER TO OUR WEST
DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE WILL BE MOVING THROUGH THE CENTRAL PLAINS.
THIS LOW WILL FORCE DEEP MOISTURE INTO THE AREA MONDAY NIGHT.  850MB
TEMPS WOULD SUPPORT RAIN AS PTYPE AS WARM AIR SURGES NORTH INTO THE
AREA AHEAD OF THE LOW. WILL CONTINUE WITH CHANCE POPS FOR RAIN
TUESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
WIDESPREAD MVFR CONDITIONS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT. IFR
WITHIN SNOW SHOWERS...MOST FREQUENTLY ACROSS THE SNOWBELT...BUT
STILL POSSIBLE AT CLE/MFD/CAK/YNG AT TIMES TONIGHT. TOL/FDY SHOULD
BE OUT OF THE WOODS AND ONLY GET A LIGHT FLURRY. STILL EXPECT A
COUPLE OF LAKE ENHANCED BANDS TO PUSH INLAND OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL
HOURS AHEAD OF A SURFACE TROUGH. GUSTS CONTINUE BUT HAVE NOW
DIMINISHED TO 25 TO 30 KNOTS. IT WILL CONTINUE TO BE BREEZY UNTIL
WEDNESDAY EVENING. VFR POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY OUTSIDE OF THE SNOWBELT.

OUTLOOK...NON-VFR ACROSS FAR NE OH/NW PA WEDNESDAY NIGHT. NON- VFR
AGAIN FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY ACROSS THE AREA.

&&

.MARINE...
WILL CONTINUE WITH GALE HEADLINE AS IS BUT WILL DROP THE LOW WATER
STATEMENT AS LEVELS HAVE RISEN ABOVE THE CRITICAL MARK. WINDS AND
WAVES WILL SLOWLY BE DROPPING THROUGH THE DAY TODAY AND TONIGHT AS
THE DEEP LOW OVER SOUTHEAST ONTARIO AND WRN NY MOVES EAST. TONIGHT
THROUGH THURSDAY AN UPPER RIDGE WILL BUILD EAST ACROSS THE OHIO
VALLEY AND GREAT LAKES AS A SURFACE HIGH BUILDS OVER THE LAKES.
THURSDAY NIGHT LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE TO IOWA.  A WARM FRONT WILL
CROSS THE LAKE FROM THE SOUTH AHEAD OF THE LOW FRIDAY.  A COLD FRONT
WILL MOVE THROUGH ON SATURDAY.  AT THIS TIME NO HEADLINES ARE
EXPECTED FOR THE MEDIUM AND LONG RANGE PERIOD ON THE LAKE.
