AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
215 PM EDT FRI MAY 31 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A BROAD AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE EASTERN ATLANTIC OCEAN WILL
CONTINUE TO PUMP WARM AND HUMID AIR INTO THE REGION THROUGH
SATURDAY. LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE SLOWLY TO THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES
BY SUNDAY MORNING AND FORCE A COLD FRONT EAST ACROSS THE AREA SUNDAY
EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD EAST INTO THE REGION ON MONDAY
FORCING MUCH COOLER AIR EAST. THE HIGH WILL BECOME ABSORBED INTO
ANOTHER HIGH PRESSURE WELL NORTH OF THE GREAT LAKES BY WEDNESDAY AND
THEN SHIFT OFF THE EAST COAST BY FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
UPDATE...UPDATED HOURLY TEMPS...DEW POINTS...CLOUDS...POPS FROM
THE MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE...NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE DOMINATING WEATHER
FEATURE FOR TODAY. ALTHOUGH...THIS FEATURE IS GRADUALLY BEING NUDGED
A BIT FURTHER EAST ALLOWING THE ACTIVE ZONE OF CONVECTION TO SHIFT
FURTHER EAST TOWARD OUR AREA.

MODELS SUGGEST A 500 MB JET STREAK WILL PUSH INTO LAKE MICHIGAN BY
12Z THIS MORNING AND THE RIGHT REAR QUAD OF THE JET MAXIMA WILL BE
OVER THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. THIS ENERGY WILL
SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
TOLEDO AND FINDLAY AREAS. FURTHER EAST...IT APPEARS TO BE LESS
FAVORABLE FOR CONVECTION DUE TO LACK OF SUPPORT ALOFT IN THE MORNING
BUT WE WILL RELY ON INSTABILITY TO HELP DEVELOP ACTIVITY FURTHER
EAST DURING THE AFTERNOON. SO WILL SPREAD SHOWER CHANCE FROM WEST TO
EAST DURING THE MORNING HOURS ACROSS THE AREA. LATEST SPC OUTLOOK
FOR SEVERE SHOWS A SLIGHT RISK ACROSS WESTERN THIRD OF OHIO FOR
TODAY. THIS SEEMS REASONABLE CONSIDERING THE UPPER LEVEL
SUPPORT...MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY IN PLACE FOR THIS AFTERNOON. AS
ALWAYS...WILL HAVE TO MONITOR FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM THREAT TODAY.

TEMPERATURES COULD BE A BIT OF A CHALLENGE TODAY AS 850 MB
TEMPERATURES WILL RUN ABOUT 2 DEGREES COOLER THAN YESTERDAY. WILL
LIKELY GO WITH TEMPERATURES FAIRLY CLOSE TO YESTERDAY IN THE EAST
HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA AND SLIGHTLY COOLER IN THE EXTREME WEST.
COOLER TEMPERATURES IN THE WEST WILL BE A RESULT OF CONVECTION
KNOCKING TEMPERATURES BACK A PEG.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
HEAT AND HUMIDITY HANG AROUND AGAIN TONIGHT AND THEREFORE SO DOES
THE INSTABILITY. YET ANOTHER EVEN MORE POTENT JET STREAK RACES
NORTHEAST INTO THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES. THIS FEATURE WILL PLACE THE
RIGHT REAR QUAD ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA ONCE AGAIN PROVIDING SOME
SUPPORT FOR THE THREAT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE
NIGHT. THE BEST CHANCE STILL APPEARS TO BE IN THE WEST CLOSER TO THE
JET MAXIMUM BUT CANT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM IN
THE EAST.

PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES JUMP UP TO AROUND 1.8 FOR SATURDAY INTO
SUNDAY AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DO DEVELOP
COULD PRODUCE SOME LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN DURING THIS TIME FRAME. WARM
CLOUD DEPTH REACHES 11000 FEET THROUGH THIS PERIOD AS WELL. STORM
MOTION IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE REAL SLOW SO THIS SHOULD ALLEVIATE
POTENTIAL FOR ONE STORM PRODUCING A LOT OF HEAVY RAIN IN ONE
LOCATION. HOWEVER...POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR A PERIOD OF TRAINING
THUNDERSTORMS ESPECIALLY SATURDAY INTO SATURDAY NIGHT. SOME
LOCATIONS...ESPECIALLY OVER ERIE AND CRAWFORD COUNTIES OF
PENNSYLVANIA HAVE RECEIVED CONSIDERABLE RAINFALL IN THE LAST FEW
DAYS. WILL HAVE TO MONITOR THIS SITUATION FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF
ISSUING A FLOOD WATCH AT SOME POINT IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS AS RAINFALL
AMOUNTS COULD REACH BETWEEN 1 AND 3 INCHES BY THE TIME THIS IS OVER
ON SUNDAY. DUE TO THE DRY CONDITIONS OVER MUCH OF THE AREA...IT IS
ANTICIPATED THAT SMALL STREAMS...CREEKS AND AREAS WHERE PONDING OF
WATER OCCURS WILL BE THE MOST LIKELY TO BE AFFECTED BY THE HEAVY
RAIN POTENTIAL.

LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE EAST ACROSS THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES
ON SUNDAY FOLLOWED BY A COLD FRONT THAT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION
SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. DUE TO THE INCREASED
INSTABILITY...THERE WILL BE A CHANCE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EACH
DAY THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING ACROSS THE AREA. MAIN THREATS APPEAR TO
BE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING THUNDERSTORM WINDS. WILL BE MONITORING
THE SITUATION THROUGH THE PERIOD AS STORMS DEVELOP.

DRIER AIR FOLLOWS THE COLD FRONT FAIRLY QUICKLY SUNDAY NIGHT INTO
MONDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS EAST INTO THE FORECAST AREA. THE HIGH
WILL BRING A RETURN BACK TO FAIR WEATHER MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT.
THE DOWN SIDE IS THE COLD AIR ADVECTION EXPECTED WITH THE COLD
FRONT. WE WILL LIKELY SEE HIGHS ON MONDAY ABOUT 20 DEGREES COLDER
THAN TODAY WITH HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE 60S. LOWS MONDAY NIGHT WILL
DIP INTO THE 40S TO LOWER 50S.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THE LONG TERM PORTION OF THE FORECAST WILL BE DOMINATED BY A LARGE
AREA OF CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE. BY TUESDAY THE HIGH SHOULD EXTEND
FROM NORTHWEST ONTARIO TO THE MIDWEST. THE ONLY FLY IN THE OINTMENT
TUESDAY IS STRONG SHORTWAVE CROSSING EXTREME EASTERN ONTARIO INTO
NEW ENGLAND. AT THIS TIME IT STILL SEEMS THAT ANY THREAT OF
PRECIPITATION SHOULD STAY NORTHEAST OF THE AREA.

THE SURFACE HIGH WILL PASS BY TO THE NORTH MID WEEK WITH AN EXTENDED
PERIOD OF NORTHEAST TO EAST FLOW. THIS WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES
GENERALLY BELOW NORMAL THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEK ESPECIALLY NEAR
LAKE ERIE. THE NEXT CHANCE FOR SHOWERS MAY COME AS EARLY AS
WEDNESDAY NIGHT OR THURSDAY THROUGH A COMBINATION OF OVER RUNNING
AND WARM ADVECTION FROM THE WEST. AT THE VERY LEAST WE SHOULD SEE AN
INCREASE IN CLOUDS BY THURSDAY. TEMPERATURES SHOULD RECOVER TO NEAR
NORMAL BY THURSDAY ASSUMING WE DO NOT BECOME OVERCAST WITH SHOWERS.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A BAND OF SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH A DISTURBANCE IN THE ATMOSPHERE
WILL MAKE ITS WAY EAST ACROSS OHIO TODAY. SOME THUNDERSTORMS HAVE
DEVELOPED AND WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP OUT AHEAD OF THE MAIN BAND OF
SHOWERS. THESE THUNDERSTORMS ARE SCATTERED IN COVERAGE...SO HAVE
KEPT THE TEMPO THUNDERSTORM FORECAST FOR ALL TAF SITES. ANY
THUNDERSTORMS THAT DO PASS OVER TAF SITES COULD CAUSE VISIBILITIES
TO BRIEFLY DROP TO IFR AND WINDS TO INCREASE IN SPEED. THE SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO BE EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA BY
EARLY MORNING SATURDAY. HOWEVER...ANOTHER BAND OF SHOWERS WILL
MOVE IN QUICKLY BEHIND THEM. ANY BREAK IN SHOWERS THAT DOES OCCUR
WILL LIKELY BE BRIEF. THE SECOND BAND OF SHOWERS WILL LIKELY
DECREASE IN INTENSITY AS IT MOVES EAST...FOR NOW HAVE KEPT
VICINITY SHOWERS AT THE EASTERN TAF SITES THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD.
WINDS WILL REMAIN GUSTY FROM THE SOUTH/SOUTHWEST THROUGH TONIGHT
BEFORE DROPPING OFF IN THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. WINDS WILL BECOME
GUSTY AGAIN SATURDAY MORNING.

.OUTLOOK...NON VFR CONDITIONS LIKELY SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY WITH
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS. NON-VFR CEILINGS POSSIBLE SUNDAY NIGHT AND
MONDAY MORNING NE OH/NW PA.

&&

.MARINE...
THE SOUTH FLOW WILL CONTINUE ON LAKE ERIE. WHILE THE GRADIENT IS
RELATIVELY WEAK TODAY...THERE WILL BE SOME THUNDERSTORMS WITH
LOCALLY STRONGER WINDS/WAVES. THE GRADIENT WILL INCREASE ON SATURDAY
AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO
CROSS THE LAKE SUNDAY MORNING. THE COMBINATION OF LOW PRESSURE OVER
THE NORTHERN LAKES...RISING PRESSURES FRO THE WEST...AND WEAK COLD
ADVECTION WILL PROBABLY MAKE FOR A CHOPPY LAKE ON SUNDAY AND SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORIES MAY BE NEEDED. WINDS WILL VEER FROM SOUTHWEST TO
WEST AND EVENTUALLY NORTH AND NORTHEAST MONDAY INTO TUESDAY AS
CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES.
