AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
152 PM EDT THU APR 3 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OVER KANSAS WILL MOVE NORTHEAST ACROSS MICHIGAN BY LATE
FRIDAY. A WARM FRONT WILL MOVE NORTH OF THE AREA ON FRIDAY...THEN
A COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY AFTERNOON. HIGH
PRESSURE FROM THE PAINS STATE WILL CROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES ON
SUNDAY. LOW PRESSURE FROM TEXAS WILL MOVE NORTHEAST ACROSS OHIO
LATE MONDAY WITH A TRAILING COLD FRONT CROSSING THE AREA.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
THE COMPLEX OVER INDIANA WILL MOVE EAST THIS AFTERNOON. IT WILL
OUTRUN THE BEST SUPPORT...CLOUD TOPS ARE ALREADY WARMING AND THE
LIGHTNING IS DIMINISHING ACROSS NORTHERN INDIANA AND NORTHWEST
OHIO...BUT THE MCV WILL TRANSLATE EAST AND THERE WILL BE A
SOAKING RAIN ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE COUNTIES SOUTH OF THE TURNPIKE.
MENTIONED THUNDER ACROSS ALL BUT THE EXTREME NE OH/NW PA COUNTIES.
TEMPERATURES WILL NOT RISE ONCE THE RAIN DEVELOPS. NUDGED THE
HOURLY TEMPERATURES DOWN AS THE RAIN BEGINS AND MANY AREAS ACROSS
NE OH/NW PA WILL SEE TEMPERATURES DROP WITH THE RAIN AND EAST TO
NORTHEAST WIND. THE MODELS ARE A LITTLE TOO WARM ALOFT AND IT WILL
BE COLD IN TOLEDO UNTIL THE RAIN STOPS...WITH TEMPERATURES BARELY
ABOVE FREEZING. THE GROUND IS NOT AS COLD AS IT WAS AND WITH THE
HIGH SUN ANGLE THIS TIME OF YEAR THERE WOULD BE LITTLE DANGER OF
ANY FREEZING RAIN.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
THERE WILL PROBABLY BE A LULL IN THE SHRA FOR A WHILE TONIGHT AS THE
ENERGY WITH THE FIRST IMPULSE MOVES OFF TO THE ENE. THEN THE
INCREASING LLVL JET BRINGING WARMER AND MORE MOIST AIR INTO THE
AREA...INCREASED DYNAMICS AND THE APPROACH OF A COLD FRONT SHOULD
LEAD TO SHRA AND TSRA BECOMING MORE NUMEROUS WEST TO EAST DURING THE
LATTER PART OF THE NIGHT INTO FRI MORNING.

THE COLD FRONT TRAILING THE LOW MOVING THRU MI WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE
CWA FROM LATE FRI MORNING THRU FRI EVE. THERE APPEARS TO BE ENOUGH
INSTABILITY AND WIND SHEAR FOR SOME STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE STORMS
TO OCCUR WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT. FRI INTO FRI NIGHT
LOOKS TO BE A WINDY PERIOD WITH WINDS GUSTING TO 40 MPH AT TIMES.

MUCH OF THE RAIN LOOKS TO END WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT BUT
A SECONDARY COLD FRONT EARLY SAT ALONG WITH SOME WRAP MOISTURE WILL
PROBABLY PRODUCE SOME RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS AS TEMPS COOL WELL BELOW
NORMAL AGAIN. THE MOST LIKELY AREA FOR THE SHOWERS WILL BE IN THE
SNOWBELT.

DUE TO THE EXPECTED LULL IN PRECIP TONIGHT...NOT SURE IF FLOODING
WILL DEVELOP FRI INTO FRI NIGHT SO WOULD PREFER TO HOLD OFF ON A
FLOOD WATCH.

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN SAT NIGHT SO THE SHRASN SHOULD END SAT EVE.
THE INFLUENCE OF THE HIGH SHOULD PRODUCE DRY CONDITIONS UNTIL LATE
SUN NIGHT WHEN ANOTHER LOW WILL QUICKLY MOVE OUT OF THE LWR MS
VALLEY AND HEAD TOWARD THE AREA. USING AN AVERAGE OF THE MODELS
INDICATES RAIN POSSIBLY SPREADING NE ACROSS AT LEAST THE SSW HALF OF
THE AREA BY DAYBREAK MON.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
LOW PRESSURE WILL BE MOVING INTO THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES ON MONDAY
WITH A PERIOD OF RAIN ANTICIPATED. CONTINUED THE LIKELY POPS FOR
MONDAY WITH THEM LINGERING INTO MONDAY NIGHT ACROSS THE EAST. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL RIDGE INTO THE REGION TUESDAY NIGHT BUT DO NOT WANT TO
COMPLETELY YANK THE POPS INTO WEDNESDAY WITH THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
AXIS STILL TO OUR WEST.

THE WARMEST DAY OF THE LONG TERM WILL BE MONDAY WITH HIGHS AT MOST
LOCATIONS INTO THE 50S. COOLER TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WITH HIGHS
GENERALLY IN THE 40S...MAYBE SOME 30S FOR HIGHS CLOSER TO THE LAKE.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
RAIN WITH SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD EAST
ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON. VISIBILITIES ARE OCCASIONALLY
DROPPING TO IFR IN THE HEAVIER RAIN BAND AND RAIN MAY MIX WITH SNOW
OR BRIEF FREEZING RAIN AT TOL THROUGH 21Z. CEILINGS ARE FALLING
AS THE RAIN SPREADS EAST WITH ALL AREAS EXPECTED TO SEE IFR
CEILINGS BY THIS EVENING EXCEPT AT ERI. IFR WILL CONTINUE UNTIL
THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE ON FRIDAY...REACHING FDY AROUND 15Z AND
CLE TOWARDS 17Z. THUNDERSTORMS MAY OCCUR ALONG/JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT
ON FRIDAY...FOLLOWED BY SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS GUSTING TO 30 KNOTS
DURING THE AFTERNOON.

.OUTLOOK...NON VFR POSSIBLE NE OH/NW PA INTO SATURDAY. IFR
POSSIBLE ALL AREAS MONDAY AFTERNOON INTO TUESDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
LOW PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WILL DEEPEN AS IT MOVES INTO
THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES TONIGHT. THIS WILL CAUSE NORTHEAST TO EAST
WINDS ON LAKE ERIE INTO EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. WINDS TO 25 KNOTS WILL
CAUSE SIGNIFICANT ICE FLOES TO DEVELOP AS PIECES BREAK AWAY FROM THE
ICE FIELD ACROSS THE EASTERN 2/3RDS OF THE LAKE. WINDS WILL SHIFT
AROUND FROM SOUTHEAST TO SOUTHWEST ON FRIDAY AS THE LOW MOVES INTO
ONTARIO ON FRIDAY EVENING. STRONGER COLD ADVECTION IN THE WAKE OF
THE LOW WILL CAUSE SOUTHWEST TO WEST WINDS TO INCREASE TO AT LEAST
30 KNOTS. THE BETTER SURGE OF COLDER AIR WILL ARRIVE FRIDAY NIGHT
AND COULD BOOST WINDS INTO LOW END GALES. WE THOUGHT ABOUT GOING
WITH A GALE WATCH BUT WILL LET THE NEXT SHIFT TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND
ISSUE IF NEEDED. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE LAKE SUNDAY.
THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE INTO THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES ON
MONDAY.
