AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
104 PM EST TUE DEC 23 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OVER NORTHEASTERN IOWA WILL WEAKEN AS IT MOVES TO THE
NORTHEAST THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. A SECONDARY AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
WILL DEVELOP NEAR THE GULF COAST TODAY AND UNDERGO RAPID DEEPENING
AS IT TRACKS NORTH TOWARDS LAKE ERIE BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THIS
SYSTEM WILL PULL A STRONG COLD FRONT ACROSS THE AREA WITH GUSTY
WINDS LATE WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
AT THIS POINT HAVE ONLY MADE MINOR CHANGES TO THE GRIDS TO REFLECT
CURRENT CONDITIONS.

70 KNOT 5H JET IS NOSING INTO SOUTHERN OHIO WHICH SHOULD CONTINUE
TO PROVIDE SOME LIFT ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN THIRD OF THE COUNTY
WARNING AREA. HAVE EITHER SCATTERED OR LIKELY WORDING FOR THIS
REGION. STILL CANT RULE OUT A FEW SHOWERS ELSEWHERE SO KEPT A
CHANCE GOING.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
A WARM FRONT WILL BE MOVING NORTH OF THE AREA TODAY. THE BEST
CHANCE OF SHOWERS WILL BE EARLY THIS MORNING AND THEN LATE THIS
AFTERNOON ACCORDING TO THE HRRR MODEL THAT THE NEXT ROUND OF
SHOWERS WILL BE HEADING TOWARD THE AREA. SOME QUESTION IN THIS BUT
IT SEEMS REASONABLE WITH THE TROF ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW WILL BE
MOVING UP. EVEN BETWEEN THE SYSTEMS BATCHES OF RAIN THE AREA WILL
BE IN THE LFQ OF THE JET SO A THREAT OF SHOWERS WILL EXIST.

WITH THE WARM FRONT MOVING NORTH AND EVEN WITH PLENTY OF CLOUDS
AND SOME WIND WENT TOWARD THE WARMER GUIDANCE FOR THE HIGHS BASED
ON WARM AIR COMING UP FROM THE SOUTH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
WET AT TIMES THE NEXT FEW DAYS...ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND
BECOMING WINDY LATE CHRISTMAS EVE.

MORE SHOWERS WILL BE MOVING THROUGH AHEAD OF THE LOW THAT WILL
MOVE ALONG THE OHIO AND INDIANA BORDER ON WEDNESDAY. SOME QUESTION
HOW MUCH SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL OCCUR ON THE WARM SIDE OF THE LOW.
KEPT HIGH POPS. WE COULD GET INTO A BREAK FROM THE SHOWERS
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AS THE FIRST FRONT MOVES THROUGH AND THEN
ANOTHER FRONT WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THAT FRONT MAY HAVE SOME SNOW WITH
IT. THE GFS MOS GUIDANCE SAYS IT WILL BE ALL RAIN...THIS DOES NOT
SEEM REASONABLE BASED ON THE LOW LEVEL THICKNESS AND THE 850 MB
TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE. WILL LEAVE IT A MIX BUT THIS WILL HAVE TO
BE WATCHED. NONE THE LESS WITH THE SURFACE TEMPERATURE IN THE MID
30S IT WILL BE TOUGH TO ACCUMULATE...MAY BE A LITTLE ON GRASSY
SURFACES. SOME RAIN OR SNOW SHOWERS WILL LINGER MAINLY EAST
THURSDAY MORNING. DRY FRIDAY AND THEN A CHANCE OF RAIN OR SNOW
SHOWERS LATE FRIDAY NIGHT AS ANOTHER FRONT HEADS TOWARD THE AREA.

QPF FOR THIS EVENT FROM TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY WILL BE AN INCH OR
LESS OF RAIN. NO FLOODING IS EXPECTED. SOME PONDING OF WATER ON
ROADS MAY OCCUR AS THE GROUND IS SATURATED.

THE WIND IS THE BIGGEST CONCERN FOR LATE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY
MORNING. STILL SOME ISSUES WHETHER THE WINDS WILL JUST BE IN THE
ADVISORY CATEGORY OR WILL NEED A HIGH WIND WARNING. THE COLD
ADVECTION SEEMS STRONG AT FIRST AND WITH 925 MB WINDS IN THE 40 TO
50 KNOT RANGE CONCERNED. SOME OF THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE ALONG
THE LAKESHORE. STILL SOME QUESTION WHETHER THE WATCH SHOULD BE
FOR THE WHOLE FORECAST AREA OR JUST ALONG THE LAKESHORE. AT THIS
TIME WILL NOT ISSUE THE WATCH AS SOME OF THE STRONG WINDS COULD
OCCUR WITH THUNDER AND SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNINGS WILL BE
NEEDED. ADDED CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS FOR WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.

TEMPERATURES ARE TOUGH ON WEDNESDAY. WENT TOWARD THE WARMER GUIDANCE.
THESE HIGHS WILL BE A FEW DEGREES BELOW THE RECORD HIGHS.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
UPPER LEVEL TROUGHS THREATEN TO STRIKE THE AREA BY THE END OF THE
WEEK AND THEN FLATTEN OUT AS THEY REACH THE FORECAST AREA. FLOW
TRIES TO BECOME MORE ZONAL BY SUNDAY EVENING ACROSS MUCH OF THE
COUNTRY. BUT THEN AS WE APPROACH THE END OF THE YEAR...YET ANOTHER
TROUGH SWINGS THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA. THIS SYSTEM WILL BE RATHER
QUICK TO MOVE THROUGH THE REGION AND WILL BRING WITH IT THE
POTENTIAL FOR A GLANCING BLOW OF COLDER AIR TO THE REGION.

IN THE MEAN TIME...STILL EXPECTING TEMPERATURES TO REMAIN ABOVE
NORMAL THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. LOW PRESSURE IS PROGGED TO MOVE
NORTHEAST INTO THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES BY SATURDAY MORNING. THIS
STORM SYSTEM WILL FORCE A COLD FRONT TO MOVE EAST ACROSS THE AREA
SATURDAY. A REINFORCING SHOT OF COLD AIR WILL PUSH SOUTHEAST INTO
THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING. HOWEVER...THE SECONDARY
FRONT IS EXPECTED TO STALL OVER EXTREME NORTHERN OHIO AND NORTHWEST
PENNSYLVANIA. HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE EAST INTO THE SOUTHERN GREAT
LAKES BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND THEN LIFT NORTHEAST TO QUEBEC BY
SUNDAY NIGHT. TRUE ARCTIC AIR MASS WILL NOT REALLY PUSH INTO THE
AREA DURING THIS FORECAST PERIOD. NEXT BEST SHOT OF COLD AIR WILL
NOT ARRIVE UNTIL WEDNESDAY IN TIME FOR THE NEW YEAR. EVEN THIS SHOT
OF COLD AIR APPEARS TO BE A GLANCING BLOW AND QUICKLY RETREATS TO
THE EAST.

THE COLD FRONT EXPECTED TO MOVE EAST INTO THE REGION ON SATURDAY
WILL HAVE LIMITED MOISTURE AT BEST AND MAY LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF
PRECIPITATION WE SEE WITH THE FEATURE.

DRIER AIR QUICKLY PUSHES INTO THE REGION FROM THE NORTHWEST IN
ADVANCE OF THE HIGH PRESSURE AND THIS SHOULD BRING A RETURN BACK TO
FAIR WEATHER TO THE REGION SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. SOME LAKE
EFFECT SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY IS POSSIBLE SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY
IN NORTHEAST OHIO AND NORTHWEST PENNSYLVANIA IN THE COLD AIR
ADVECTION.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
LOW PRESSURE LOCATED WEST OF CHICAGO WILL LIFT A WARM FRONT NORTH
ACROSS THE AREA TODAY WHICH IS CONTRIBUTING TO LOW CEILINGS AND
LOCALIZED RESTRICTIONS TO VISIBILITY. DOWNSLOPING WINDS AT CLE/ERI
WILL LIKELY KEEP CEILINGS IN THE MVFR RANGE WHILE OTHER SITES ARE
MOSTLY IFR. CAK/YNG MAY SEE CEILINGS LIFT FOR A FEW HOURS BEFORE
LOWERING AGAIN TONIGHT.

SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL INCREASE FROM THE SOUTH AFTER 22Z AND FILL
IN TONIGHT AS A STRONGER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TRACKS UP FROM THE
SOUTH. EXPECTING POOR AVIATION CONDITIONS WITH CEILINGS BELOW 500
FEET FOR MOST SITES EXCEPT ERI BY 09Z. EASTERN AREA MAY SEE A BREAK
IN THE RAIN DURING THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY. LEANED TOWARDS THE SLOWER
TRACK/TIMING OF THE NAM WHICH DOES NOT BRING THE REAL STRONG WINDS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE COLD FRONT INTO THE TAFS UNTIL CLOSER TO 00Z
SO DID NOT INCLUDE IN THE TERMINALS WITH THIS PACKAGE.

.OUTLOOK...STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS GUSTING TO 40 KNOTS POSSIBLE
02-10Z THURS. NON VFR POSSIBLE THROUGH THURSDAY THEN AGAIN
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
GALE WATCHES HAVE ALREADY BEEN POSTED FOR WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON INTO
THURSDAY MORNING AS WINDS ON THE LAKE ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE TO 35
TO 40 KNOTS. THIS IS IN RESPONSE TO STORM SYSTEM EXPECTED TO MOVE
NORTHEAST INTO THE FORECAST AREA AND AFFECT THE LAKE. GRADIENT WILL
BE QUITE STRONG AND THIS WILL CAUSE THE STRONGER WINDS ON THE LAKE.
AT THIS TIME...DO NOT EXPECT TO SEE STORM FORCE WINDS ON THE LAKE.
WINDS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND THURSDAY NIGHT.
SOUTHERLY FLOW QUICKLY RETURNS BY THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY AS HIGH
PRESSURE SCOOTS BY TO THE SOUTH OF THE AREA. THIS SHOULD SET UP SOME
WARM AIR ADVECTION OVER THE LAKE REDUCING THREAT OF HIGH WAVES BY
FRIDAY. NEXT STORM SYSTEM APPROACHES FROM THE WEST FORCING A COLD
FRONT ACROSS THE LAKE ON SATURDAY.  WINDS AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT
ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE ON SATURDAY AND WILL LIKELY NEED SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORIES BY THEN.

&&
