THE FORECAST AREA IS VERY SATURATED. THAT AREA SEEMS GOOD FOR A
FLOOD WATCH. WILL TAKE A LOOK AT 12Z DATA AND MAY ISSUE A FLOOD
WATCH BY 1130 AM.

ORIGINAL DISCUSSION...
COLD FRONT ALREADY INTO NW OHIO. MODELS CONTINUE TO STALL THE
FRONT ACROSS NE OH/NW PA...BISECTING THE STATE FROM NE TO SW. TEMP
FORECAST TRICKY TODAY AS WILL BE QUITE A TEMPERATURE CONTRAST
AHEAD AND BEHIND THE FRONT...DEPENDING UPON PRECISELY WHERE IT
STALLS.

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND TSRA THIS MORNING WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH
AFTER SUNRISE. EXPECT THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO BE THE FOCUS OF
CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. CAPES ONLY INCREASE TO
AROUND 1200 J/KG THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS NE OHIO...BUT 300 MB JET
ACROSS GREAT LAKES INCREASES TO 120 KNOTS ADDING INCREASED LIFT
WHICH WILL ENHANCE TSRA DEVELOPMENT THIS EVENING INTO THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. SPC HAS MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA IN SLIGHT RISK
FOR SEVERE TSRA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
MODELS CONTINUE TO STALL FRONT ACROSS OHIO TODAY...WITH SURFACE
LOW MOVING ALONG THE LOW ACROSS OHIO ON THURSDAY. MODELS COMING
INTO MUCH BETTER AGREEMENT ON THE TRACK AND TIMING OF THE SYSTEM.
AL 3 MODELS MOVE THE LOW ACROSS NW OHIO THURSDAY MORNING...THEN
TRACKING INTO THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES THURSDAY AFTERNOON. THERE
WILL BE WIDESPREAD RAIN DURING THIS PERIOD ALONG WITH TSRA AND
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS. A FLOOD WATCH MAY BE NEEDED.

TRAILING COLD FRONT MOVES EAST OF THE AREA FRIDAY MORNING
USHERING IN MUCH COOLER CONDITIONS. THE 850 MB TEMPS DIP TO NEAR
ZERO BY FRIDAY MORNING. MEANWHILE SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL LINGER
INTO THE WEEKEND AS UPPER LEVEL LOW DRIFTS SLOWLY ACROSS THE GREAT
LAKES.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
HE GREAT LAKES UPPER TROUGH SEEMS DESTINED TO MORPH INTO A CUT OFF
LOW SOMEWHERE OFF THE EAST COAST EARLY NEXT WEEK. THIS COULD WORK
IN OUR FAVOR FOR A CHANGE AS WE SHOULD SPEND MUCH OF EARLY NEXT WEEK
UNDER A BUILDING RIDGE BETWEEN A WESTERN TROUGH AND THE EASTERN CUT
OFF. THE SURFACE HIGH SHOULD BUILD SOUTH ACROSS THE CENTRAL GREAT
LAKES ON SUNDAY AND SLOWLY GET SQUEEZED OUT BY MID WEEK. WE WILL
LIKELY SEE HIGH CLOUDS INCREASE BY TUESDAY AS WARM ADVECTION
DEVELOPS UPSTREAM. TEMPERATURES WILL RECOVER TO NORMAL BY TUESDAY.
IT MAY BE COOL ENOUGH EARLY MONDAY MORNING FOR A FROST THREAT.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE COLD FRONT WILL STALL ACROSS NE OH/NW PA TODAY. CEILINGS WILL
DROP TO IFR/MVFR ON THE COOL SIDE OF THE FRONT. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE TONIGHT AS A
WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE BEGINS TO DEVELOP ON THE FRONT AND MOVE NORTH
TOWARD THE FORECAST AREA. MVFR CEILINGS AND VSBY ARE LIKELY WITH
THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH LOCAL IFR.

.OUTLOOK...NON VFR IN PRECIPITATION THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
A WEAKENING FRONT WILL STALL OVER EASTERN LAKE ERIE TODAY. WINDS
WILL VEER TO THE NORTH AND NORTHEAST ON THE WEST HALF OF THE LAKE
WHILE THE WIND MAY BE LIGHT AND VARIABLE THE EAST HALF OF THE LAKE.
LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ON THE STALLED FRONT AND CROSS
THE LAKE ON THURSDAY. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL INCREASE AS THE
SURFACE LOW AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT SLIDES ACROSS THE LAKE. A
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON AS
THE WEST TO SOUTHWEST WINDS INCREASE BEHIND THE FRONT.

THE WIND SHOULD DIMINISH BY FRIDAY AS WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO
BUILD OVER THE LAKE. A TROUGH ALOFT WILL REMAIN OVER THE GREAT LAKES
THIS WEEKEND AND SOMETIMES WINDS CAN PICK UP AS WEAK SURFACE TROUGHS
CROSS THE LAKE BUT THE GRADIENT WILL BE RATHER LIGHT OVERALL.
