AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
1234 PM EDT WED AUG 7 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT OVER THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST
ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA TONIGHT. THIS FRONT IS EXPECTED TO STALL NEAR
THE OHIO RIVER ON THURSDAY AND THEN MOVE LITTLE THROUGH FRIDAY.
THE FRONT WILL FINALLY MOVE OFF TO THE EAST ON SATURDAY AS
CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO BUILD OVER THE REGION FROM THE
NORTHWEST.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
TWEAKED AFTERNOON TEMPS TO MID 80S IN THE EAST.

ORIGINAL DISCUSSION...
MADE ONLY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SKY CONDITION WITH THE UPDATE.
STORMS ACROSS LOWER MI CONTINUE TO MOVE TOWARD NW OH. DEBRIS CLOUD
FROM THIS ACTIVITY AND PATCHES OF LOWER CLOUDS COULD WRECK HAVOC
ON TEMPS TODAY. THE DAY CREW COULD HAVE A HANDFUL. STILL
EXPECTING NEW DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON IN THE WEST. EXACT TIMING
REMAINS TOUGH.

ORIGINAL...LOT'S OF QUESTIONS TODAY. DO THINK MOST AREAS WILL SEE RAIN BY
EARLY EVENING BUT TODAY WILL CERTAINLY NOT BE A COMPLETE WASHOUT.
LINE OF STORMS OVER LAKE MICHIGAN SHOULD FOLLOW THE LOW LEVEL
THICKNESS CONTOURS TO LAKE ERIE LATER THIS MORNING. SOME WEAKENING
IS EXPECTED AND THE LINE COULD ARRIVE AS SCATTERED SHOWERS. WILL
START OUT NW OH WITH CHANCE POPS BY 12Z AND ALL AREAS WILL HAVE A
PRECIP MENTION BY LATE MORNING.  DEBRIS CLOUDS FROM THIS LINE WILL
PLAY A KEY ROLE IN WHAT HAPPENS THIS AFTERNOON. DO THINK THE
CLOUDS WILL THIN AND EXPECT SOME CONVECTION TO BEGIN FIRING IN NW
OH LATER THIS AFTERNOON. HOW FAR AND FAST THIS ACTIVITY SPREADS
EAST IS TRICKY. WILL STICK WITH LIKELY POPS ALL AREAS FOR THIS
AFTERNOON BUT THE SE END OF THE AREA MAY HAVE TO WAIT TILL EARLY
EVENING FOR THE FIRST RUMBLES OF THUNDER. SOME DRYING OCCURS AT
MID LEVELS TODAY SO THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR ISOLATED SEVERE
STORMS. FORCING AT THE SURFACE WILL BE MARGINAL AS THE FRONT WILL
REMAIN WELL TO THE WEST. DO EXPECT INSTABILITY TO BUILD TODAY WITH
SURFACE DEWPOINTS MAKING A RUN FOR 70 DEGREES WHICH WILL GIVE
CAPES IN EXCESS OF 1000 J/KG. WILL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE WHAT
HAPPENS. HOPEFULLY BY DAYBREAK WE SHOULD HAVE A BETTER FEEL FOR
THE CONVECTION OVER MI. HAVE NOT STRAYED TOO FAR FROM GUIDANCE
TEMPS TODAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
THE COLD FRONT WILL FINALLY ARRIVE TONIGHT BUT IT WILL BE ALMOST
DAYBREAK BEFORE IT CLEARS THE AREA. THE FRONT WILL EVENTUALLY
STALL NEAR THE OHIO RIVER WHICH MEANS A DISTINCT AIR MASS CHANGE WILL NOT
OCCUR. WILL NEED LIKELY POPS ACROSS THE EAST THIS EVENING AND
ALTHOUGH THERE SHOULD BE A DECREASE IN ACTIVITY OVERNIGHT NOT
COMFORTABLE DRYING THINGS OUT COMPLETELY. WILL NEED TO HAVE AT
LEAST CHANCE POPS THE REMAINDER OF THE WORKWEEK AS THE FRONT
REMAINS TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT. THERE WILL BE A SHARP NORTHERN
CUTOFF TO THE PRECIP. MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW A WAVE OF LOW
PRESSURE MOVING UP THE OHIO VALLEY ON FRIDAY. BEST CHANCES FOR
SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL OCCUR THEN AND HAVE BUMPED PRECIP CHANCES
TO LIKELY. SOME LOCATIONS COULD SEE AN INCH OR TWO OF PRECIPITATION
DURING THE PERIOD GIVEN THE WEST TO EAST ORIENTATION OF THE FRONT.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT LATER SHIFTS WILL NEED TO MONITOR. THE
FRONT WILL FINALLY GET PUSHED TO THE SOUTHEAST OVER THE WEEKEND AS
HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO BUILD IN. WILL TRY FOR DRY WEATHER
SATURDAY MORNING.

HAVE USED A BLEND OF GUIDANCE DURING THE ENTIRE PERIOD. TEMPS WILL
AVERAGE BELOW NORMAL DURING THE PERIOD.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
MOST OF THE MODELS ARE STILL INDICATING HIGH PRESSURE EARLY NEXT
WEEK. THE HIGH IS PROGGED TO EXTEND FROM THE UPPER MIDWEST  ACROSS
THE LOWER GREAT LAKES. WITH THE BROAD TROUGH ALOFT I SUSPECT WE WILL
SEE PATCHES OF MID AND HIGH CLOUDS SO THE HIGH MAY BE SOMEWHAT DIRTY
ALTHOUGH THE AIR MASS SHOULD BE DRY AND STABLE. THE NEXT FRONT LOOKS
TO DROP ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES MONDAY NIGHT OR TUESDAY
MORNING. IT LOOKS TO BE A REINFORCING PUSH OF COOLER AIR. NOT MUCH
MOISTURE OR INSTABILITY TO WORK WITH. CANNOT RULE OUT A SHOWER
ESPECIALLY DOWN WIND OF LAKE ERIE BUT GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY ON THE
TIMING AND STRENGTH OF THE FRONT WILL KEEP THE FORECAST DRY.

TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN BELOW NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD AS THE
TROUGH ALOFT GRADUALLY DEEPENS. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE FROM THE
NORTHERN PLAINS WILL GIVE WAY TO HIGH PRESSURE FROM CANADA. HIGH
TEMPERATURES IN THE 70S. LOWS MOSTLY IN THE 50S...AROUND 60 NEAR THE
LAKESHORE AND IN TOWN.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
DEWPOINTS ARE COMING UP AS THE SOUTH WIND HAS PREVAILED OVERNIGHT.
PATCHES OF STRATUS HAVE FORMED ACROSS INDIANA AND NW OHIO AND WILL
LIKELY SEE MVFR OR LOCAL IFR CEILINGS AT KTOL KFDY KMFD THIS
MORNING WITH MVFR OR VFR CUMULUS FILLING IN ELSEWHERE. NEW
SHOWERS/STORMS WILL DEVELOP TODAY WELL AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT. THE
FRONT WILL NOT CROSS THE FORECAST AREA UNTIL LATE TONIGHT OR EARLY
THURSDAY MORNING. SHOWERS/STORMS A POSSIBILITY UNTIL THE FRONT
MOVES THRU. WILL TRY TO FORECAST THE MOST LIKELY 4 HOUR WINDOW AT
EACH TAF SITE FOR THE TSTORMS AND FORECAST VICINITY SHOWERS THE
REMAINDER OF THE TIME BUT NOT A LOT OF CONFIDENCE IN THE TIMING.
MVFR VISIBILITY AND BRIEF IFR VISIBILITY AND GUSTY WINDS POSSIBLE
DURING THE HEAVIER THUNDERSTORMS.

.OUTLOOK...NON-VFR CONDITIONS LIKELY THURSDAY INTO SATURDAY
MORNING IN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AND MVFR/IFR CEILINGS AT
TIMES.

&&

.MARINE...
A RELATIVELY LIGHT SOUTH FLOW ON LAKE ERIE WILL PERSIST...PERHAPS
BECOMING SOUTHWEST...UNTIL THE COLD FRONT ARRIVES LATER TONIGHT.
MARINERS WILL HAVE TO BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR THUNDERSTORMS WITH
LOCALLY GUSTY WINDS AND HIGHER WAVES. IF AN ORGANIZED BAND OF
THUNDERSTORMS CROSSES THE LAKE TODAY...THEN WINDS MAY SHIFT TO THE
WEST AND NORTHWEST FOR A FEW HOURS...THEN BACK TOWARD THE SOUTH OR
SOUTHWEST AGAIN.

TIMING THE ACTUAL FRONT IS TRICKY. AN AVERAGE OF THE DIFFERENT
COMPUTER MODELS WOULD PUT THE FRONT ACROSS THE SOUTH SHORE OF LAKE
ERIE BY THURSDAY MORNING. UNLIKE MOST FRONTS...THE GRADIENT REMAINS
RATHER WEAK BEHIND THE FRONT AND DO NOT EXPECT MUCH OF A NORTH TO
NORTHWEST WIND ON THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY...PERHAPS PICKING UP JUST A
BIT (10-15 KNOTS) LATER FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY. WINDS SHOULD REMAIN
RELATIVELY LIGHT EARLY NEXT WEEK AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE
LAKE.
