AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
1153 PM EST SUN JAN 26 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL BLAST ACROSS THE AREA OVERNIGHT USHERING
IN ARCTIC CONDITIONS WHICH WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MID WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
UPDATED TO ADD WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR NE OH AND NW PA FOR
LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY MONDAY MAINLY FOR WIDESPREAD SNOW AND
BLOWING SNOW WHEN THE WINDS ARE STRONGEST UP TO 45 MPH AFTER THE
FRONTAL PASSAGE. ONLY A FEW INCHES OF SNOW WILL FALL. SOME
QUESTION AS TO WHETHER A CRUST IS ON THE SNOW AND HOW MUCH WILL
BLOW AROUND.

A BRIEF PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN OR EVEN RAIN COULD OCCUR WELL
INLAND FROM THE LAKE.

THE BIG ITEM WILL BE THE STRONG WINDS FOR SEVERAL HOURS AFTER THE
FRONTAL PASSAGE WITH GUSTS BETWEEN 35 AND 45 MPH. THIS WILL CAUSE
PLENTY OF BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW AND WHITEOUT CONDITIONS AT
TIMES. ISSUED A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR NW OH FOR LATE TONIGHT
INTO MONDAY MORNING FOR THE BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW.

THE WIND CHILL ADVISORY CRITERIA VALUES WILL BE DELAYED AT BEING
REACHED OVER MUCH OF THE AREA. AT THIS TIME CONTINUED THE WIND
CHILL ADVISORY TO START AT 4 AM FOR NE OH AND NW PA EMPHASIZING
THE BLOWING AND DRIFTING AT FIRST AND THEN THE COLD WIND CHILL
READINGS LATER READINGS. A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED
FOR NE OH AND NW PA.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...THE LULL BEFORE THE STORM. SNOW HAS ENDED OVER ALL
BUT EXTREME NE OHIO AND NW PA AND WILL GRADUALLY END FROM THE WEST
THIS EVENING. LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER NORTHERN LAKE MICHIGAN WITH
TRAILING ARCTIC FRONT STRETCHING ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS. EXPECT
SNOW TO SPREAD INTO NW OH AHEAD OF THE FRONT LATE THIS EVENING
THEN SPREAD OVER ENTIRE AREA OVERNIGHT. MOST LOCATIONS WILL SEE
AROUND ANOTHER INCH WITH THE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SNOWBELT
LOCATIONS WILL SEE MORE LIKE 1 TO 3 INCHES. WILL KEEP IN AREAS OF
BLOWING SNOW OVERNIGHT AS THE BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS INCREASE TO 25
TO 30 KNOTS BEHIND THE FRONT.

MODELS IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE TIMING OF THE FRONT...WHICH
SHOULD BE JUST SE OF THE FORECAST AREA TOWARD DAYBREAK.  WILL HAVE
RISING TEMPS THIS EVENING...BUT LOWS WILL DIP INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS
OVERNIGHT BEHIND THE FRONT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
FEEL CONFIDENT ABOUT A WIND CHILL WARNING FOR NW OH FOR MONDAY
EVENING THROUGH NOON TUESDAY. AFTER THAT ESPECIALLY FOR AREAS
SOUTH OF TIFFIN THE WINDS COULD BE LIGHT THAT WIND CHILL VALUES
WILL ONLY BE CLOSE TO WARNING CRITERIA. WILL LET THE NEXT SHIFTS
DECIDE IF THE WARNING SHOULD BE EXTENDED. FOR NE OH AND NW PA BACKED
DOWN ON THE TIMING OF THE WIND CHILL FOR VERY LATE TONIGHT AND
THEN WENT WITH A WIND CHILL WATCH FOR LATE MONDAY EVENING UNTIL
NOON WEDNESDAY. FEELING FAIRLY CONFIDENT ABOUT REACHING THE
CRITERIA MONDAY NIGHT BUT NOT AS SURE TUESDAY NIGHT WELL INLAND
FROM LAKE ERIE...SO BECAUSE OF THAT WENT WITH THE WATCH.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
THE BIG STORY WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE BITTER COLD DURING THE
PERIOD. FOR MONDAY EXPECT HIGH TEMPERATURE FOR THE DAY IN THE
MORNING WITH FALLING TEMPS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. THE 850MB TEMPS
PLUNGE TO MINUS 26C BY MONDAY EVENING. THIS COMBINED WITH WEST TO
NORTHWEST WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH AND GUSTS TO 35 MPH WILL KEEP WIND
WIND CHILLS IN THE MINUS 5 TO MINUS 15 DEGREES BELOW ZERO FOR
ENTIRE DAY MONDAY...WHICH IS WHY I RAN THE WIND CHILL ADVISORY
THROUGH 3 PM MONDAY. EXPECT THAT HEADLINE WILL BE REPLACED WITH
WIND CHILL WARNING WITH TOMORROWS PACKAGE.

CLEARING SHOULD OCCUR ON MONDAY IN THE WEST AND ALL AREAS ON
TUESDAY. COULD SEE WIND CHILLS COLDER THAN NEG 25 ON TUESDAY
MORNING. THIS WILL BE JUST A TAD WARMER THAN THE EVENT A COUPLE
WEEKS AGO BUT WILL BE LONGER IN DURATION WITH TWO NIGHTS OF FRIGID
WEATHER. HAVE USED A BLEND OF GUIDANCE DURING THE PERIOD. MUCH OF
THE AREA WILL SEE HIGH TEMPS ON TUE DAY BELOW ZERO. THE LAST TIME
THAT OCCURRED WAS 1994.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THERE CONTINUES TO BE A HINT IN THE MODELS THAT THE AMPLIFIED
WEATHER PATTERN WILL BECOME MORE ZONAL BY LATE WEEK...WHICH WOULD
ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO MODERATE TO NEAR NORMAL. KNOWING THE MODELS
DIFFICULTY IN PREDICTING THIS ARCTIC COLD SNAPS HAVE CONTINUED TO
FORECAST MORE PESSIMISTICALLY (COLDER) THAN THE MODELS WHICH ARE
BIASED BY CLIMATOLOGY FURTHER OUT IN TIME. PRECIPITATION CHANCES
APPEAR MINIMAL AS AGAIN SOME WEAK FEATURES ARE EXPECTED TO SKIRT
THROUGH THE AREA EVERY FEW DAYS...BUT AT THIS TIME NO INDICATION OF
ANY NOTABLE SNOWFALL EVENTS. A FRONT COMING THROUGH ASSOCIATED WITH
A LOW TO OUR NORTH WILL BRING SOME SNOW THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON/OVERNIGHT HOURS ON THURSDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
ARCTIC COLD FRONT IS PUSHING INTO TOLEDO AND FINDLAY AT THIS TIME AND
THIS WILL BE THE BEGINNING OF THE PLUNGE IN TEMPERATURES THROUGH
TUESDAY NIGHT. EXPECTING MVFR CEILINGS TO PREVAIL ACROSS THE AREA.
CEILINGS COULD DIP DOWN A BIT ALONG WITH LOWERING VISIBILITIES DUE
TO SOME LIGHT SNOW THAT WILL SPREAD INTO THE REGION. GUSTY WINDS
TO 45 KNOTS ARE BEING REPORTED UPSTREAM BEHIND THE FRONT. THIS
STRONGER WIND WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS THE AREA AND LAST FOR A COUPLE
HOURS. EXPECT THE FRONT AND STRONGER WINDS TO MOVE FROM TOLEDO AND
FINDLAY TO CLEVELAND AND MANSFIELD BY 2 AM AND TO ERIE AND
YOUNGSTOWN BY 3 AM.

OTHERWISE...LAKE EFFECT WILL DEVELOP AT CLEVELAND MAINLY TOWARD
THE AFTERNOON HOURS TOMORROW AS FLOW BECOMES 300 DEGREES OR SO AND
MAY CAUSE SOME CONVERGENCE TO SET UP OVER THAT AREA. ERIE COULD
SEE PESKY LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS AS WELL THROUGH THE DAY
TOMORROW AS WELL. REST OF THE AREA SHOULD SEE FAIR WEATHER AS
ARCTIC AIR SETTLES IN.

WIND CHILLS WILL DROP TO WELL BELOW ZERO DURING THE DAY MONDAY SO
AIRPORT CREWS SHOULD COVER EXPOSED SKIN ACCORDINGLY TO PREVENT
FROST BITE.

OUTLOOK...NON VFR MAINLY IN THE SNOW BELT MONDAY NIGHT INTO
TUESDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
FOR THE NEARSHORE WATERS...ICE COVERAGE IS A BIG FACTOR...BUT WINDS
ARE EXPECTED TO LINGER AROUND HIGH END SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA. THE
CLIPPER SYSTEM EXITING THE REGION AT THE TIME OF THIS ISSUANCE WAS
BEING FOLLOWED BY A BRISK SOUTHWEST WIND WITH GUSTS IN THE MID TO
UPPER 20KT RANGE THROUGH EARLY EVENING. LOOK FOR A SHIFT TO THE WEST
AS A ARCTIC FRONT APPROACHES. THE FRONT WILL HAVE IMPRESSIVE
PRESSURE RISES WITH STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION. THE CONDITIONS ACROSS
THE LAKE WILL BE CONDITIONALLY UNSTABLE FOR ANY OPEN WATERS...WHICH
WILL SUPPORT GALE FORCE GUSTS WITH SUSTAINED SPEEDS REMAINING
ELEVATED IN THE 25 TO 30 KT RANGE. IF THERE IS STRONGER WINDS
ALOFT...THE GALE WARNING MAY NEEDED FOR AT LEAST A PORTION OF THE
LAKE. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY MONDAY NIGHT
INTO TUESDAY MORNING...AND THE INSTABILITY AND EXTREMELY COLD AIR
WILL SUPPORT BREEZY BUT BELOW GALE FORCE WINDS.
