AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
326 AM EDT FRI JUN 13 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT OVER THE AREA WILL MOVE OFF TO THE EAST BY MIDDAY. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS THE REGION SATURDAY THEN A WARM FRONT
WILL LIFT NORTH OF LAKE ERIE SUNDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM FRIDAY EVENING/...
NEAR TERM GUIDANCE SHOWING DIFFERENCES THRU THE MORNING SO NOT
CONFIDENT HOW THIS WILL PLAY OUT. TO MAINTAIN CONTINUITY...WILL
CONTINUE TO MOVE A BAND OF CHANCE POPS FOR SHRA/TSRA EAST ACROSS THE
CWA WITH THE COLD FRONT THIS MORNING WITH MOST OF THE RAIN DONE BY
18Z.
THE UPPER TROUGH DIGS SE INTO THE CWA THE SECOND HALF OF THE DAY.
THE COOLING ALOFT MAY ACT TO TRIGGER A FEW EXTRA SHRA OVER THE EAST
IN THE AFTERNOON WHERE A LITTLE MORE LOWER LEVEL MOISTURE WILL STILL
BE LINGERING.
TEMPS TODAY WILL BE COOLER WITH HIGHS MOSTLY 70 TO 75 BUT MORE
NOTICEABLE WILL THE LOWER DEWPOINTS BY AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM FRIDAY EVENING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
THE COOLER AND DRIER AIR CONTINUES TO SWEEP IN THIS EVENING. HIGH
PRESSURE MOVING IN BY DAYBREAK SAT WILL CALM THE WINDS SO CLEARING
SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS WITH A COOL AIRMASS SHOULD LEAD TO A
SEASONALLY COOL NIGHT WITH LOWS BY DAYBREAK MOSTLY IN A 46 TO 52
DEGREE RANGE WITH THE WARMER TEMPS GENERALLY ALONG THE LAKE ERIE
SHORELINE.
SAT WILL BE MOSTLY SUNNY BUT TEMPS WILL BE A LITTLE COOLER THAN
NORMAL ALTHOUGH THE FAR WEST WILL BEGIN TO MODERATE AS WINDS THERE
VEER TO THE EAST.
CONDITIONS SHOULD REMAIN DRY UNTIL LATE SUN NIGHT WHEN ENOUGH LOWER
LEVEL MOISTURE RETURNS FOR POSSIBLE CONVECTIVE PRECIP TO MOVE INTO
THE NW LATE AT NIGHT. THE BETTER CHANCE APPEARS TO BE MON AND MON
NIGHT WHEN A BAND OF DEEP MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO WORK EAST OVER THE
ENTIRE CWA. THE PROBLEM DURING THIS PERIOD APPEARS TO BE A LACK OF
FOCUSING MECHANISM TO TRIGGER THE CONVECTION SO WILL KEEP POPS IN
CHC CATEGORY...THUS CLOSE TO ONGOING FORECAST.
THE WARM FRONT LIFTING NORTH OF THE AREA SUN WILL LEAD TO NOTICEABLY
WARMER TEMPS WITH HIGHS SUN IN THE LOW TO MID 80S FOR MOST PLACES
AND MAYBE A FEW DEGREES WARMER ON MON.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BE WOBBLING ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH
THE LONG TERM FORECAST. THIS BOUNDARY AND A COUPLE PIECES OF JET
ENERGY MOVING ACROSS EASTERN CANADA INTO THE NEW ENGLAND STATES WILL
INTERACT WITH A HUMID AIRMASS TO BRING SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND
EVENING THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THURSDAY. IT WILL FEEL LIKE SUMMER
WITH THE HUMIDITY AND HIGHS INTO AT LEAST THE MIDDLE 80S. IF THE
CONVECTIVE DEBRIS CLOUDINESS IS LESS THAN ANTICIPATED ON TUESDAY OR
WEDNESDAY A FEW LOCATIONS COULD APPROACH 90.
&&
.AVIATION /06Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
COLD FRONT OVER NW OHIO WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EASTWARD THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT REACHING THE OH/PA BORDER LATE IN THE MORNING. THERE
WILL BE SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS NEAR AND AHEAD OF THIS FRONTAL
BOUNDARY BUT THE INSTABILITY IS FAIRLY LOW SO CONFIDENCE IN
THUNDER IS LOW. DID MENTION SOME THUNDER ACROSS THE WEST THROUGH
08Z AND FOR THE EAST AFTER SUNRISE. MOST LOCATIONS WILL SEE A
3500-5000 FOOT CEILING DEVELOP OVERNIGHT. HOWEVER CEILINGS WILL
DIP TO MVFR LEVELS NEAR THE SHOWERS FOR A FEW HOURS AND OVER
LOCATIONS THAT HAD RAINFALL LAST EVENING. AS THE FRONT PASSES
WESTERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE AND MAY BEGIN TO GUST TO 20 TO 25
KNOTS BY LATE MORNING THEN CONTINUING INTO THE AFTERNOON. AS THE
DEPTH OF THE COOLER AIR INCREASES THROUGH THE AFTERNOON CEILINGS
WILL LIFT AND BEGIN TO DECREASE IN COVERAGE. ALL LOCATIONS SHOULD
HAVE CLEAR SKIES BY EVENING AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER NORTHERN
OHIO. WINDS WILL ALSO DECREASE.
.OUTLOOK...NON VFR POSSIBLE MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY IN SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS AS WELL AS MORNING FOG/MIST.
&&
.MARINE...
COLD FRONT WILL CROSS LAKE ERIE TODAY. WINDS IN ITS WAKE WILL
INCREASE...ESPECIALLY THIS AFTERNOON AS AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH PASSES
AND INCREASES THE COLD ADVECTION. WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS OF 15 TO
20 KNOTS WILL BE COMMON. THIS COMBINED WITH THE LONGER FETCH WILL
BUILD WAVES TO AROUND 4 FEET...WHICH IS HIGH ENOUGH FOR A SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY FOR THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. THE SMALL CRAFT
WILL ONLY BE HOISTED FROM CLEVELAND TO RIPLEY. THE LARGER WAVES WILL
INCREASE THE RIP CURRENT RISK. AT THIS POINT IT APPEARS THAT IT IS
ONLY A MODERATE RISK. WINDS AND WAVES WILL DECREASE TONIGHT AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE LAKE FOR SATURDAY. THE HIGH WILL SHIFT EAST
OF THE REGION ON SUNDAY ALLOWING A SOUTHERLY WIND TO RETURN. THE
NEXT COLD FRONT LOOKS AS IF IT WILL SAG INTO THE REGION ON MONDAY
AND WILL LINGER OVER OHIO AND WESTERN PA INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK.
