Area forecast discussion, Jan 22, 3:34 AM EST, 11 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
334 AM EST WED JAN 22 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY TODAY...THEN
MOVE OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST TONIGHT. THIS WILL ALLOW A CLIPPER
SYSTEM TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA OVERNIGHT.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
WITH MOST LOCATIONS BETWEEN ZERO TO -5F LEFT THE WIND CHILL ADVISORY
GOING FOR THIS MORNING EVEN THOUGH THE WINDS ARE MARGINAL. BUT EVEN
AFTER THE ADVISORY EXPIRES...WIND CHILL TEMPS WILL STILL REMAIN
BELOW ZERO OVER MOST OF THE AREA.
HIGH PRESSURE...NOW OVER THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...WILL MOVE
INTO THE OHIO VALLEY BY DAYBREAK CUTTING OFF THE SCATTERED LIGHT
SNOW OFF LAKE HURON. LEFT CHANCE OF FLURRIES OVER THE CENTRAL AND
EASTERN LAKE SHORE COUNTIES FOR THIS MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
MOVE QUICKLY EAST ALLOWING NEXT CLIPPER SYSTEM TO MOVE INTO THE
CENTRAL GREAT LAKES THIS AFTERNOON. EXPECT SNOW TO MOVE INTO NW
OHIO LATE AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
LITTLE CHANGE IN THE SHORT TERM AS LONG WAVE TROUGH WILL REMAIN OVER
THE GREAT LAKES ALLOWING A SERIES OF CLIPPERS TO MOVE ACROSS THE
AREA. MODELS IN REASONABLY GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE TRACK AND TIMING
OF THE FIRST CLIPPER DUE TONIGHT. MODELS MOVE LOW INTO NW OHIO
TOWARD MIDNIGHT LOCAL...THEN ACROSS NORTHERN OHIO INTO NW PA
OVERNIGHT. EXPECT A QUICK INCH OR TWO FROM THE CLIPPER OVERNIGHT
WITH SOME LINGERING LAKE ENHANCED SNOW SHOWERS IN THE EAST LINGERING
INTO THURSDAY. ANOTHER BREAK ON FRIDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES
ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY. MODELS CONTINUE TO BE IN GOOD
AGREEMENT WITH ANOTHER SHOT OF ARCTIC AIR DUE ON SATURDAY...WITH THE
850MB TEMPS PLUNGING TO MINUS 24C BY DAYBREAK SUNDAY.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
UPPER LEVEL PATTERN KEEPS UPPER LEVEL TROUGH HOLDING TIGHT OVER THE
EASTERN UNITED STATES THROUGH THIS ENTIRE EXTENDED PERIOD. ANOTHER
SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL DIG INTO THE EASTERN STATES BY TUESDAY MORNING
AND THIS WILL HELP TO REAMPLIFY THE RIDGE ALONG THE WEST COAST.
AS OF RIGHT NOW...THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY RELIEF IN SIGHT
FOR AN END TO THIS COLD WEATHER PATTERN THAT WE HAVE SEEN SO FAR. A
LOOK AT THE OVERALL UPPER LEVEL PATTERN OVER THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE
INDICATES FLOW WILL BECOME MORE ZONAL IN VERY BROAD TROUGH OVER THE
ENTIRE UNITED STATES BY NEXT WEEKEND.
THE TREND INDICATES ANOTHER RIDGE WILL BUILD ALONG THE WEST COAST
AND THIS WILL ONLY HELP TO DEEPEN THE TROUGH ONCE AGAIN FOR THE
EASTERN UNITED STATES. ANOTHER ISSUE AT HAND IS HIGH PRESSURE IS
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP JUST NORTH OF THE BERING SEA AND DRIFT TOWARD
THE NORTH POLE. LETS HOPE THIS LONG RESIDENT HIGH DOES NOT GET
CAUGHT UP IN THE MEAN FLOW AND HEAD OUR WAY. IT WILL HAVE PLENTY OF
TIME TO BUILD UP AN EXTREMELY COLD AIR MASS. KEEP THAT WOOD PILE
STOCKED...WE MAY BE IN FOR THE LONG HAUL.
MODELS INDICATE LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
ON SUNDAY AND BRING WITH IT ANOTHER ROUND OF SNOW TO THE FORECAST
AREA. FOLLOWING THE LOW WILL BE ANOTHER SURGE OF ARCTIC AIR THAT
WILL PUSH INTO MONDAY AND TUESDAY. YET ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
WILL RACE IN BEHIND THE INITIAL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND AFFECT THE
AREA BY WEDNESDAY.
I WILL KEEP A MENTION OF SNOW SHOWERS EACH DAY FOR THE EXTENDED
PERIOD. I PROBABLY COULD GO WITH LIKELY POPS FOR SUNDAY BUT WILL
JUST KEEP IT CHANCE FOR NOW UNTIL WE GET A BETTER LOOK AT THE EXACT
TRACK OF THE LOW AND MOISTURE SUPPORT ASSOCIATED WITH THE STORM
SYSTEM.
AS MENTIONED ABOVE...COLD AIR WILL RETURN FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY AS
LOW PRESSURE EXITS TO THE EAST. 850 MB TEMPERATURES PLUMMET TO -20
TO -22 C ACROSS THE AREA BRINGING IN STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION.
WARMER AIR STARTS TO RETURN AGAIN TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY AHEAD
OF THE NEXT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM.
&&
.AVIATION /06Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
PATCHES OF STRATO CU CONTINUE TO FLOAT AROUND. EXPECT THESE
PATCHES TO SLOWLY DRIFT EAST OVERNIGHT AS THE FLOW BECOMES MORE
NW. EXPECT BKN CIGS ONCE IN A WHILE WITH CIGS SOMETIME MVFR. LOW
LEVEL DRY AIR SHOULD EVENTUALLY WIN OUT OVERNIGHT AND ALL AREAS
WILL BE VFR FOR A FEW HOURS LATE TONIGHT AND WED MORNING. MID LEVEL
CLOUDS FROM THE NEXT CLIPPER SYSTEM WILL ARRIVE THIS MORNING WITH
LOWER CIGS TOWARDS EVENING. BY THE END OF THE TAF PERIODS CIGS
SHOULD AGAIN BE MVFR OVER MUCH OF THE AREA. HAVE INCLUDED A
MENTION OF LIGHT SNOW IN THE TAFS. CHANCES WILL SPREAD FROM WEST
TO EAST BEGINNING LATE IN THE AFTERNOON. MOST OF THE PRECIP WILL
BE LIGHT WITH MAINLY MVFR VSBYS. LIGHT N TO NW FLOW WILL BECOME SW
TO S DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY. SPEEDS WILL REMAIN UNDER 10 KNOTS.
OUTLOOK...NON VFR POSSIBLE AGAIN WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
THURSDAY NIGHT...AND AGAIN SATURDAY IN -SN.
&&
.MARINE...
WINDS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS AS HIGH
PRESSURE MOVES BY TO THE SOUTH AND LOW PRESSURE MOVES EAST ACROSS
THE GREAT LAKES REGION WITH ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT. EXPECTING WINDS
TO DEVELOP FROM THE SOUTHWEST FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT AND BECOME
STRONG ENOUGH TO SUPPORT GALE FORCE WINDS. WINDS WILL DROP OFF FOR A
PERIOD DURING COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE ON SATURDAY MORNING AND THEN
INCREASE AGAIN TO GALES AFTER FRONTAL PASSAGE. SO...WILL GO AHEAD
AND HOIST A GALE WATCH FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO SATURDAY. WINDS
SHOULD DIMINISH SATURDAY NIGHT BELOW GALE FORCE AND REMAIN THAT WAY
THROUGH SUNDAY.
