AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
113 PM EDT WED MAY 28 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT NEAR THE LAKE ERIE SHORELINE WILL DROP SLOWLY SOUTH
THROUGH THURSDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL SPREAD SOUTH INTO THE AREA
FRIDAY THEN SHIFT OFF TO THE EAST SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. ANOTHER COLD
FRONT IS EXPECTED TO DROP SOUTHEAST INTO THE AREA MONDAY BEFORE
STALLING.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
SHORT WAVE ENERGY SEEN ON WATER VAPOR AND SOME LIFT NEAR THE 8H
BOUNDARY OVER LAKE ERIE HAVE BEEN ENOUGH TO KEEP SHOWERS GOING
ACROSS MICHIGAN. THESE SHOWERS WERE NOW SLOWLY DRIFTING TO THE
SOUTHEAST AND SHOULD MAKE IT INTO NORTHERN OHIO DURING THE
AFTERNOON. THE EXPECTATION IS THAT THE COVERAGE WILL SHRINK AS
THEY MOVE SOUTHEAST SO ONLY WENT WITH CHANCE POPS.

OTHERWISE THE INSTABILITY NEAR AND SOUTH OF A SURFACE BOUNDARY
THAT WAS LOCATED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN COUNTY WARNING AREA CONTINUES
TO INCREASE. THE CUMULUS FIELD ON VISIBLE SATELLITE CONTINUES TO
LOOK BETTER IN THIS AREA SO THE EXPECTATION IS THAT THUNDERSTORMS
WILL DEVELOP AND EXPEND IN COVERAGE SHORTLY.

HAVE NUDGED HIGHS UP IN THE WARM SECTOR A BIT MORE WITH THIS
UPDATE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
THE FRONT CONTINUES TO DRIFT SOUTH TONIGHT TAKING THE THREAT FOR
RAIN ALONG WITH THE FRONT. EVENING TSRA SHOULD DISSIPATE TO JUST A
SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SHRA IN THE EXTREME SOUTH FOR THE LATTER PART OF
THE NIGHT. THERE MAY BE ENOUGH LOWER LEVEL MOISTURE LEFT BEHIND FOR
AN ISOLATED SHRA TO OCCUR IN THE EXTREME SOUTH THU AS A WEAK UPPER
DISTURBANCE WORKS SE ACROSS THE AREA.

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE NORTH THU NIGHT AND FRI AND SHOULD
PROVIDE DRY CONDITIONS FOR MOST OR ALL OF THE AREA THRU THE WEEKEND.
THE ONLY QUESTIONABLE AREA WILL BE IN THE EXTREME EAST. AN UPPER
TROUGH DIGS SOUTH OVER THE NE PART OF THE COUNTRY AND MAY PROVIDE
ENOUGH UPPER SUPPORT FOR AN ISOLATED SHRA TO OCCUR IN NW PA THU
NIGHT THRU EARLY FRI EVE.

WITH MORE SUNSHINE ON THU THRU SAT...TEMPS WILL SHOW LITTLE CHANGE
WITH HIGHS IN THE LOW TO MID 70S FOR A GOOD PART OF THE AREA.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THE WEATHER WILL START OFF DRY. FOR MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY A CHANCE
OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS IN THE FORECAST BECAUSE OF A FRONTAL
BOUNDARY ACROSS LAKE ERIE AND NORTHERN OHIO AND NORTHWEST
PENNSYLVANIA. CHANCE POPS SEEM GOOD AT THIS TIME. THE GFS AND ECMWF
ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THIS. HOWEVER...THE ECMWF TRIES TO BRING
IN SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY NIGHT. AT THIS TIME KEPT
SUNDAY NIGHT POPS 20%...NONE THE LESS ANY THUNDERSTORMS WOULD BE
TOWARD DAYBREAK MONDAY.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOVE NORMAL FOR THE PERIOD. USED A BLEND OF
GUIDANCE FOR THE TEMPERATURE FORECAST.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
COLD CURRENTLY FRONT JUST SOUTH OF A FDY-MFD-YNG LINE. SCATTERED
TSRA WILL DEVELOP NEAR THE BOUNDARY THEN BEGIN TO DIMINISH AFTER
SUNSET. EXPECT WIDESPREAD MVFR STRATUS TO DEVELOP OVERNIGHT.
CONDTIONS WILL IMPROVE TO VFR FROM THE NORTH THURSDAY AS HIGH
PRESSURE PUSHES SOUTH OVER THE AREA.

.OUTLOOK...MAINLY VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE LAKE THROUGH DAYBREAK WITH
THE WINDS STARTING OFF AS NORTHWEST AND THEN SWITCHING TO NORTH AND
THEN NORTHEAST LATER TODAY. STILL A CONCERN LATE THIS EVENING INTO
THURSDAY MORNING THAT THE NORTHEAST WINDS WILL BE BETWEEN 15 TO 20
KNOTS AND THAT SHOULD CAUSE 3 TO 5 FOOT WAVES...PROMPTING THE NEED
FOR A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY. ON THE EDGE ABOUT IT SO WILL LET THE
NEXT SHIFT TAKE ANOTHER LOOK.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE BUILDING IN ON THURSDAY AND THAT WILL HELP
DECREASE THE WINDS AND WAVES IN THE AFTERNOON. THE HIGH WILL REMAIN
IN CONTROL OF THE WEATHER ON THE LAKE THROUGH SATURDAY WITH LIGHT
NORTHEAST WINDS. THE HIGH WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST OF THE LAKE SATURDAY
NIGHT AND THAT WILL SWITCH THE WINDS TO THE SOUTHEAST AND THEN TO
THE SOUTHWEST BY SUNDAY NIGHT AND THAT WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TUESDAY
EVEN WITH A FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN THE AREA. NOT EXPECTING SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA EARLY NEXT WEEK.
