AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
945 AM EDT THU APR 18 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE INTO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES TODAY. AS THIS
LOW MOVES NORTHEAST INTO ONTARIO IT WILL DRAG A STRONG COLD FRONT
ACROSS OHIO AND WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD
INTO THE REGION BY SATURDAY EVENING. THIS HIGH WILL MOVE OFF THE
NEW ENGLAND COAST SUNDAY EVENING.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
BUMPED POPS ACROSS NW OH TO LIKELY FOR LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. SPC ISSUED WATCH 123 THAT RUNS INTO EXTREME NW OH UNTIL 5
PM. THINK STORMS WILL BEGIN TO GRADUALLY DIMINISH FOR A TIME AND
THEN REINTENSIFY THIS AFTERNOON.

ORIGINAL DISCUSSION...
TEMPERATURES ARE ALREADY WARMING ACROSS THE REGION. ALL
BUT THE TOLEDO AREA HAS WARMED INTO THE UPPER 50S AND LOWER 60S.
OTHER THAN TWEAKING THE HOURLY TEMPERATURES AND DEWPOINTS THE
CURRENT FORECAST LOOKS REASONABLE.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE TODAY BRINGING A WARM AND
MOIST AIRMASS INTO NORTHERN OHIO AND NW PA. THE STRONGEST WINDS
TODAY WILL LIKELY BE ACROSS THE WESTERN COUNTY WARNING AREA NEAR
AND WEST OF A LORAIN TO MANSFIELD TO MOUNT GILEAD LINE. IN MOST
CASES IT IS DIFFICULT TO GET WIND ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS...GUSTS
EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN 46 MPH...TO THE SURFACE IN A WARM
ADVECTION PATTERN. ALSO THE AMOUNT OF CLOUD COVER MAY AFFECT HOW
DEEP WE WILL BE ABLE TO MIX TODAY EVEN WITH HIGHS GETTING INTO THE
UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S. SO WITH THAT SAID WE WILL NOT ISSUE A WIND
ADVISORY. HOWEVER A FEW GUSTS OF 40 TO 45 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE.

THE AIRMASS WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY MORE UNSTABLE THROUGH THE DAY
AS DEEPER MOISTURE ADVECTS INTO THE REGION. THIS WILL CREATE AN
UNSTABLE BOUNDARY LAYER BY THE AFTERNOON. WE WILL THEN HAVE TO
WAIT AND SEE IF THERE IS ENOUGH LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE TO GET THE
CONVECTION TO START. THE NAM12 INDICATES SOME LOW LEVEL
CONVERGENCE OVER THE CENTRAL HIGHLANDS FROM NEAR MOUNT VERNON TO
MAYBE MANSFIELD. IF THIS MATERIALIZES THERE COULD BE A FEW STRONG
TO MAYBE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THAT REGION FROM 19Z TO 22Z.
WE WILL MENTION THIS POSSIBILITY IN THE HWO.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
THIS ENERGETIC AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE THROUGH THE CENTRAL
GREAT LAKES TONIGHT WITH A SIGNIFICANT SEVERE  WEATHER EVENT
EXPECTED JUST TO OUR WEST. UNCERTAINTY AT THIS TIME IS IF WE WILL
SEE ANY CONVECTION DEVELOP AHEAD OF A SQUALL LINE THAT SHOULD
CHARGE ACROSS THE AREA JUST AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT TONIGHT. THE
MAIN CONCERN FOR NORTHERN OHIO INTO NW PA WILL BE STRONG DAMAGING
WINDS WITH THE SQUALL LINE. IF ANY CONVECTION DEVELOPS AHEAD OF
THE LINE WE WILL HAVE PLENTY OF SHEAR AVAILABLE FOR THE POTENTIAL
OF A TORNADO. AT THIS TIME THIS THREAT SEEMS FAIRLY LOW BUT WE
WILL HAVE TO MONITOR FOR ANY DEVIANT MOVING STORMS.

WINDS WILL REMAIN ELEVATED THROUGH THE NIGHT WITH GUSTS IN THE 40
TO 45 MPH RANGE. WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH THE DOWNSLOPE REGIONS OF NW
PA...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE LAKESHORE...FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF EVEN
STRONGER GUSTS. SO WE MAY END UP WITH A WIND ADVISORY FOR THIS
REGION AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. THE STRONG WINDS WILL CONTINUE INTO
THE WAKE OF THE FRONT BUT FROM A WESTERLY DIRECTION. THE WEST
WINDS WILL DECREASE ON SATURDAY BUT REMAIN IN THE 15 TO 25 MPH
RANGE...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE EAST.

IN THE WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT IT WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY COOLER.
SOME OF THE RAIN MAY MIX WITH OR CHANGE OVER TO SNOW FRIDAY
NIGHT. A FEW LOCATIONS MAY SEE A LIGHT DUSTING OF SNOW ACROSS THE
HIGHER TERRAIN OF NE OHIO INTO NW PA. IT WILL QUICKLY MELT ON
SATURDAY IF IT DOES OCCUR. HIGHS BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON WILL ONLY
GET INTO THE UPPER 40S TO NEAR 50. DECREASING CLOUDS AND LIGHTER
WINDS SATURDAY NIGHT WILL ALLOW FOR A COLD NIGHT WITH AREAS OF
FROST A GOOD BET FOR INLAND LOCATIONS OF NE OHIO INTO NW PA.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE EAST OF THE AREA ON SUNDAY WITH WARMER
TEMPERATURES RETURNING. HIGHS SHOULD REACH THE MIDDLE TO UPPER
50S.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
UPPER LEVEL PATTERN TRENDING TOWARD A SOME WHAT ZONAL FLOW PATTERN
TO A TROUGH DIGGING INTO THE CENTRAL UNITED STATES BY TUESDAY
AFTERNOON. TROUGH BECOMES NEGATIVELY TILTED BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON
AIDING IN RAPID CYCLOGENESIS AT THE SURFACE ACROSS THE CENTRAL

TODAY BUT COULD GET A LITTLE EXCITING LATER TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY IN
THE OPEN WATERS AS SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW INCREASES ACROSS THE
REGION. ONCE COLD FRONT GOES BY...GOOD MIXING DOWN TO THE LAKE
SURFACE SHOULD TAKE PLACE WILL LIKELY NEED TO ISSUE A SMALL CRAFT

SATURDAY.

SUNDAY LOOKS RATHER TRANQUIL AS HIGH PRESSURE PUSHES OFF TO THE EAST
ALLOWING FOR FAIRLY LIGHT GRADIENT ACROSS THE REGION. QUIET
CONDITIONS WILL LAST INTO MONDAY UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE MASSIVE
HIGH PRESSURE TO THE EAST THAT SETTLES SOUTH ALONG THE EAST COAST.
