What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Cleveland, OH wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Nov 17, 6:22 PM EST, 1 hour 12 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Nov 17, 6:22 PM EST, 1 hour 12 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
622 PM EST SUN NOV 17 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
STRONG LOW PRESSURE TRACKING ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES WILL PUSH A
STRONG COLD FRONT ACROSS THE AREA THIS EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE FROM
THE PLAINS STATES WILL CROSS THE AREA BY TUESDAY NIGHT AND MOVE OFF
THE EAST COAST BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THE NEXT COLD FRONT WILL MOVE IN
ON THURSDAY AND THERE WILL LIKELY BE A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE DEVELOP
ON THE FRONT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
UPDATED TO ADDED TORNADO WATCH TO THE OHIO PORTION OF THE FORECAST
AREA. MORE THEN LIKELY A WATCH WILL BE NEEDED FOR NW PA IT IS
POSSIBLE THAT IT COULD BE A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH. NO CHANGES
TO THE WORDING.

DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH 90-100 KT 500 MB WEST JET SLIDING IN
OVER TOP OF THE 65 KNOT LOW LEVEL SOUTH JET. PLENTY OF BULK SHEAR
AND 1 KM SHEAR 30-80 KNOTS. THE DRY SLOT IN THE LOWER LAYERS WILL
BE FILLING IN WITH DEEPER MOISTURE FROM THE SOUTHWEST TO LOWER THE
LCL. DECENT COOLING ALOFT. THE CAPE IS NOT VERY HIGH...GENERALLY
UNDER 500 J/KG...BUT IT IS NOT ALL THAT MUCH HIGHER TO THE WEST
AND IT IS OBVIOUSLY ENOUGH GIVEN THE TERRIFIC DYNAMICS. THE BROKEN
LINE OF SUPER CELLS TO THE WEST WILL MOVE EAST
STEADILY...EVENTUALLY PICKING UP SPEED. THE THINKING IS THAT THE
ACTIVITY WILL MERGE INTO A SQUALL LINE WITH WIDESPREAD DAMAGING
WINDS. THIS MAY BE MOST LIKELY BY THE TIME IT REACHES I-71. IN THE
MEANTIME...SPC TELLS US THE TORNADO WATCH WILL BE OUT BY 2130Z AND
PROBABLY GET THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA. IT IS WORTH EMPHASIZING
THIS EVENING THAT PEOPLE SHOULD NOT WAIT FOR VISUAL OR AUDIO
CONFIRMATION OF A WARNING/EVENT. IF A WARNING IS ISSUED THEY
SHOULD TAKE SHELTER IMMEDIATELY.

TIMED THE LINE THROUGH FAIRLY QUICKLY EARLY TONIGHT...EXITING NW
PA BY 11 PM. DRYING OUT AFTERWARD BUT THE ISALLOBARIC PRESSURE
RISES ARE IMPRESSIVE. NOT GREAT COLD ADVECTION BUT ENOUGH FOR THE
WIND ADVISORY OVERNIGHT. IN FACT...WILL START THE WIND ADVISORY
FOR NW OHIO WITH THE AFTERNOON ISSUANCE...NO NEED TO WAIT.

WARM TO START...LOWS IN THE LOWER 40S LATE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
DRY SOUTHWEST FLOW TO START ON MONDAY. IT WILL STILL BE WINDY AND
NOT SURE WE WILL NOT NEED TO EXTEND THE WIND ADVISORY...ESPECIALLY
FOR NORTHERN OHIO NEAR THE LAKE ERIE LAKE SHORE AND ALL OF NORTHWEST
PA. EVENTUALLY GETS COLD ENOUGH ALOFT FOR LAKE EFFECT AND WINDS SHIFT
ONSHORE IN THE AFTERNOON. SHOWERS SHOULD DEVELOP ALONG THE EAST
LAKESHORE AND COME ONSHORE IN THE LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING.
PROBABLY ALL RAIN TO START AS THE BOUNDARY LAYER REMAINS RATHER
MILD...THEN CHANGING TO SNOW MONDAY NIGHT. AN INCH OR TWO OR THREE
OF SNOW IS POSSIBLE IN THE SNOWBELT IF THE BANDS ARE
PERSISTENT...MOST LIKELY ACROSS INLAND NW PA.

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN ON TUESDAY. ANY REMAINING LAKE EFFECT
ACTIVITY WILL TAPER OFF IN THE MORNING.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE NEXT COLD FRONT WILL BE MOVING INTO THE CENTRAL LAKES ON
THURSDAY AND SHOULD MOVE ACROSS THE REGION ON FRIDAY. EXPECT SHOWERS
TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY. THERE SHOULD BE
ENOUGH COLD AIR INTO THE REGION BY FRIDAY NIGHT TO CHANGE OVER TO
SNOW THEN PERSISTING INTO SATURDAY. THE SNOW WILL MAINLY BE IN THE
SNOWBELT SATURDAY INTO SATURDAY NIGHT.

THURSDAY WILL BE THE WARMEST DAY OF THE EXTENDED WITH HIGHS IN THE
UPPER 40S TO NEAR 50. COOLER BY SATURDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE 30S.

&&

.AVIATION /23Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
TORNADO WATCH 566 REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL MIDNIGHT LOCAL. STRONGEST
STORMS MOVING INTO NRN OHIO AND MOVING TO NE AT ROUGHLY 45KT. SEVERE
GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 60 KT STILL POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGEST TSRA.

STRONG COLD FRONT JUST WEST OF INDIANA/OHIO BORDER...BUT MODELS
CONTINUE TO MOVE FRONT EAST OF AREA BY 06Z. BEHIND THE FRONT
EXPECT SW WINDS WITH GUSTS TO 35 TO 40 KNOTS TO CONTINUE THROUGH
THE OVERNIGHT.

OUTLOOK...NON-VFR CONDITIONS WILL BE SCATTERED ACROSS THE REGION
IN SHOWERS. A FEW SHSN MONDAY NIGHT...MAINLY ACROSS NE OH/NW PA.
CONDITIONS IMPROVING TO VFR FROM WEST TO EAST TUESDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
WINDS WILL SHIFT FROM THE SOUTH TO THE WEST SOUTHWEST THIS EVENING
AS A COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE LAKE. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS MAY
PRODUCE WIND GUSTS OVER 50 KNOTS WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. THE WINDS
IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT SHOULD REMAIN AROUND 40 KNOTS. SINCE WE
WILL HAVE GALES WE EXPECT WATER LEVELS TO DROP WITH IT BOTTOMING OUT
ABOUT 40 INCHES BELOW LEVELS FOR SAFE NAVIGATION. THE GALES WILL
CONTINUE INTO AT LEAST MONDAY AFTERNOON. WATER LEVELS WILL NOT
RECOVER UNTIL WINDS BEGIN TO SHIFT TO THE NW AND DECREASE.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE LAKE ON TUESDAY WITH LIGHTER
WINDS. AS THE HIGH MOVES EAST OF THE REGION ON WEDNESDAY SOUTHERLY
WINDS WILL RETURN. THESE SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE INTO THURSDAY
AS ANOTHER COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES.
