AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
1124 PM EST SAT DEC 21 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ALONG A FRONT STALLED OVER THE AREA WITH THE
LOW CROSSING LAKE ERIE MIDDAY SUNDAY THEN MOVING INTO EASTERN CANADA
WHILE PULLING A TRAILING COLD FRONT ACROSS THE THROUGH SUNDAY
EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE PLAINS MONDAY WILL MOVE ACROSS OHIO
TUESDAY NIGHT AND OFF THE EAST COAST BY THURSDAY. ANOTHER COLD FRONT
WILL CROSS THE REGION THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
LARGE AREA OF HEAVY RAIN HEADED INTO THE FORECAST AREA AT THIS
TIME. THIS RAINFALL COULD PRODUCE QUITE A BIT OF RAIN IN THE NEXT
5 TO 6 HOURS. THERE IS SOME THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY MOVING NORTHEAST
INTO THE WEST CENTRAL PORTIONS OF OHIO. ALL OF THE HEAVY RAIN AND
CONVECTION IS RIDING UP ALONG THE STATIONARY FRONT AND IS THE
RESULT OF AN UPPER LEVEL JET MAXIMUM MOVING NORTHEAST ACROSS THE
REGION.

TEMPERATURES SHOULD CONTINUE TO SLOWLY WARM UP OVERNIGHT AS WARM
FRONT LIFTS NORTH TOWARD THE LAKE.

WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE SITUATION AS FLOODING DEVELOPS
OVERNIGHT.

MEDIA REMIND YOUR VIEWERS AND LISTENERS TO TURN AROUND DONT DROWN.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
THE LOW SHOULD LIFT ACROSS THE WESTERN PART OF THE CWA SUN MORNING
THEN MAY CROSS THE WEST END OF LERI BEFORE CONTINUING NE INTO
EASTERN CANADA LATER SUN INTO SUN NIGHT. A DRY SLOT FROM 850MB UP
THRU 700 MB PUNCHES IN FROM THE SW BEHIND THE INITIAL COLD FRONT AND
THIS SHOULD HELP TO CUT OFF THE HEAVIER RAIN FROM SW TO NE FROM THE
MORNING INTO EARLY AFTERNOON. EXPECT LITTLE RAIN OR JUST SOME LIGHT
SHRA ONCE THE DRY SLOT HAS MOVED INTO ANY GIVEN AREA. AFTER MORNING
HIGHS...TEMPS SHOULD DRIFT SLOWLY DOWN THE REST OF THE DAY.

THE SECOND AND MORE SIGNIFICANT COLD FRONT SHOULD MOVE SE ACROSS THE
CWA SUN NIGHT WITH THE COLDER AIR ARRIVING LEADING TO A CHANGEOVER
FROM RAIN TO SNOW. LUCKILY...THE PRECIP SHOULD BE LIGHT AS DEEPER
WRAP MOISTURE STRUGGLES TO MOVE BACK INTO THE AREA. THE MODELS SHOW
DIFFERENCES IN HOW QUICKLY THE DEEPER MOISTURE MAY OR MAY NOT ARRIVE
SO UNCERTAIN REMAINS IN PRECIP INTENSITY FOR MON.

BY MON NIGHT INTO TUE...THERE SEEMS TO BE ENOUGH MODEL CONSENSUS IN
WRAPPING ENOUGH DEEPER MOISTURE ALONG WITH BRINGING THE UPPER
THERMAL TROUGH IN TO THINK THAT REASONABLY SIGNIFICANT LAKE EFFECT
SHSN WILL OCCUR WITH LIGHT AMOUNTS OF SNOW EVEN POSSIBLE OVER THE
REST OF THE AREA OUTSIDE OF THE SNOWBELT. WILL BEEF UP AND SPREAD
OUT POPS FOR TUE. THINK TEMPS BY TUE WILL BE COLDER THAN CURRENT
FORECAST SO HAVE LOWERED HIGHS MORE.

HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD FINALLY MOVE OVER THE AREA TUE NIGHT SO EXPECT
THE SHSN TO TAPER OFF WEST TO EAST TUE AFTERNOON THRU ABOUT MIDNIGHT
TUE NIGHT. TUE NIGHT WILL BE THE COLDEST NIGHT FOR THIS CURRENT RUN
OF DAYS. THE BIG QUESTION WILL BE HOW MUCH CIRRUS ARRIVES AS WARM
ADVECTION STARTS AT MID AND UPPER LEVELS. FOR NOW WILL TAKE A MIDDLE
OF THE ROAD APPROACH AND ALLOW FOR LOWS TO GET DOWN TO 10 TO 15
FOR A GOOD PART OF THE AREA.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
DRIER CONDITIONS ARE IN STORE FOR MOST OF THE AREA BY TUESDAY NIGHT
AS A SHARPLY AMPLIFIED MID-LEVEL RIDGE AND SURFACE HIGH PASSES
THROUGH THE REGION. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE A FEW LINGERING SNOW
SHOWERS IN FAR NORTHEASTERN OHIO AND NORTHWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA WITH
MODERATE INSTABILITY AND SUFFICIENT MOISTURE OFF LE.

WEDNESDAY MORNING MOISTURE BEGINS TO FILL IN ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA FROM WEST TO EAST AHEAD OF THE NEXT PASSING LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM. GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THERE MAY BE ENOUGH LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH A
500 MB VORT MAX AND SUFFICIENT NEGATIVE OMEGA TO INITIATE LIGHT SNOW
SHOWERS. HOWEVER...THE LIMITED MOISTURE WILL BE COMPETING AGAINST
DRIER AIR...SO WILL KEEP ONLY A SLIGHT CHANGE OF SNOW.

A FAST MOVING COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION EARLY THURSDAY
AFTERNOON...AND WILL INTRODUCE THE CHANCE FOR A PERIOD OF BRIEF
HEAVY SNOW. BUT IT WILL DRY OUT QUICKLY BEHIND THE FRONT...SHUTTING
OFF THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY SYNOPTIC SNOW DESPITE A SHALLOW
SHORTWAVE THAT WILL PROPAGATE THROUGH LATE THURSDAY NIGHT AND EARLY
FRIDAY MORNING. OTHERWISE FRIDAY WILL BE MOSTLY PRECIP FREE EXCEPT
IN THE SNOWBELT AREAS. OF NOTE...THE EUROPEAN SOLUTION IS MORE
AGGRESSIVE THAN THE GFS AND RESOLVES A LOW PRESSURE CENTER AND
WELL-DEFINED COLD FRONT...WHEREAS THE GFS SHOWS MORE OR LESS A
SURFACE TROUGH. WILL BLEND THE TWO SOLUTIONS FOR THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY/S FORECAST.

BY SATURDAY AN EXTENSION OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL WORK IN ACROSS
NORTHERN OHIO FROM A HIGH PRESSURE CENTER LOCATED OVER WESTERN
ILLINOIS. A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA SUNDAY
AFTERNOON...THEN BECOME STATIONARY ACROSS MUCH OF OHIO.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
LOW PRESSURE IS NOW IN SOUTHWEST OHIO WITH A WARM FRONT EXTENDING
NORTHEAST THROUGH MANSFIELD TO MEADVILLE. THE LOW WILL CONTINUE TO
MOVE NORTHEAST ALONG THE FRONT AND KEEP THE RAIN GOING THROUGH
MUCH OF THE NIGHT. A LINE OF SHOWERS AND MINIMAL THUNDERSTORMS
WILL MOVE THROUGH MANSFIELD AND AKRON CANTON AREA AND WILL PRODUCE
GUSTY WINDS AS IT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA.

WE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE SOME VERY LOW CEILINGS THROUGH THE NIGHT
DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM. POCKETS OF HEAVY RAIN COULD DROP VISIBILITIES
CONSIDERABLY FOR BRIEF PERIODS.

EXPECTING RAIN TO FINALLY END FROM WEST TO EAST BEGINNING AROUND
12Z AS RAIN PULLS OUT OF THE REGION.

WINDS WILL BE VARIABLE THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD DUE TO THE LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM TRACKING ACROSS THE AREA.

.OUTLOOK...SPOTTY NON VFR LINGERS INTO MONDAY...IMPROVING BY
TUESDAY NIGHT. BY WEDNESDAY MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS.

&&

.MARINE...
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY HAS DROPPED SOUTH ACROSS LAKE ERIE AND STALLED
OVER CENTRAL OHIO. WINDS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE FRONT ARE
GENERALLY LIGHT AND VARIABLE. SOUTH OF THE FRONT THERE IS MORE OF A
SOUTHERLY COMPONENT. SUNDAY MORNING THE WIND WILL BEGIN TO PICK UP
FROM THE SOUTH AND EAST ACROSS THE LONG AXIS OF THE LAKE AS A
SURFACE LOW FORMS ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER WESTERN INDIANA
AND A LOW LEVEL JET STRENGTHENS. BY DAYBREAK SUNDAY THE BOUNDARY
WILL SHIFT BACK NORTH ACROSS THE SOUTHERN SHORELINE OF LAKE ERIE AND
THE FLOW WILL SWITCH FROM THE SOUTHWEST AS THE SURFACE LOW PULLS
NORTH INTO ONTARIO CANADA. THE WIND WILL BE GUSTING UPWARDS TO 25
KNOTS IN SPOTS ACROSS THE LAKE SHORE BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND A SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED.

BEHIND THE LOW EXPECT THE WIND TO BE GENERALLY OUT OF THE
WEST UNTIL TUESDAY EVENING WHEN A WEAK SURFACE HIGH DEVELOPS OVER
CENTRAL OHIO. THE WINDS WILL AGAIN GO LIGHT AND VARIABLE FOR ABOUT A
DAY...THEN VEER FROM THE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WITH THE PASSAGE OF
THE NEXT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM BY FRIDAY EVENING.
