AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
431 AM EST SAT JAN 3 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL DEEPEN AS IT MOVES NORTH FROM THE MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY AND CROSSES THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES TONIGHT. A COLD FRONT
TRAILING THE LOW WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE AREA LATE TONIGHT/EARLY
SUNDAY. ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD EAST ON MONDAY.
A CLIPPER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL CROSS THE AREA ON TUESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
FREEZING RAIN WILL OVERSPREAD THE AREA FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST
EARLY THIS MORNING...REACHING NORTHWEST PA BY MID MORNING. THERE
COULD BE A LITTLE SLEET AT THE ONSET BUT NO ACCUMULATING SLEET. THE
SOUTHEAST WIND IS BEGINNING TO PICK UP AND TEMPERATURES/WET BULBS
WILL RISE STEADILY SO THE FREEZING RAIN WILL BE LIMITED IN DURATION
TO LESS THAN 3 HOURS IN MOST AREAS. IF YOU ARE OUT THIS MORNING JUST
AS THE RAIN HAS STARTED...THAT IS THE TIME TO BE MOST WARY. ICE
ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE JUST A GLAZE IN MOST AREAS...CERTAINLY LESS
THAN A TENTH OF AN INCH. THE POSSIBLE EXCEPTION MIGHT BE THE TOLEDO
AREA WHERE TEMPERATURES RISE MORE SLOWLY UNTIL THE WIND BECOMES MORE
SOUTHEASTERLY...AND INLAND NORTHWEST PENNSYLVANIA WHERE THE COLD
AIR IS DEEPER. ADDED A COUPLE OF ADDITIONAL HOURS TO THE WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORY (UNTIL NOON) FOR THE TOLEDO AREA. AS TEMPERATURES
CLIMB THROUGH THE 30S THIS AFTERNOON...JUST RAIN. TEMPERATURES WILL
CONTINUE TO RISE RIGHT INTO TONIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
WE WILL RUN THE GAMUT OF WEATHER OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. THE RAIN
WILL BECOME SOMEWHAT MORE SHOWERY TONIGHT AS WE GET INTO THE WARM
SECTOR. TEMPERATURES SHOULD GET TO 50 OR THE LOWER 50S EXCEPT FOR
THE TOLEDO AREA. THERE IS A RISK OF THUNDER AS THE COLD FRONT
SWEEPS ACROSS THE AREA LATE TONIGHT/EARLY SUNDAY. THE SURFACE
INSTABILITY IS NOT REALLY A FACTOR WITH THE RELATIVELY COOL
BOUNDARY CONDITIONS BUT THERE IS ELEVATED CAPE. LOOKED AT BOTH THE
NAM AND GFS MODEL SOUNDINGS AND COULD NOT FIND MUCH MORE THAN 5K
OF "SKINNY" CAPE ALOFT TONIGHT. WE THINK THAT THE BEST INSTABILITY
WILL REMAIN SOUTH TOWARD THE OHIO RIVER AND POINTS SOUTH. WILL
LEAVE OUT THUNDER AS PER THE CURRENT FORECAST ALTHOUGH A FINE LINE
OF CONVECTIVE SHOWERS (MINUS THUNDER) IS POSSIBLE.

THE NEXT CONSIDERATION IS THE WIND. ASSUMING THAT WE DO NOT HAVE A
FINE LINE OF CONVECTION THEN WIND WILL BE AN ISSUE PRIMARILY ON
SUNDAY AS THE COLD ADVECTION DEVELOPS OVERLAPPED BY RAPID PRESSURE
RISES. THE WIND ALOFT SUNDAY MORNING AT 850 MB IS AROUND 50 KNOTS
DEPENDING ON THE MODEL. LIKE TO ASSUME 70-80 PERCENT EFFECTIVE
MIXING AT BEST. THIS KEEPS THE AREA JUST UNDER WIND ADVISORY
CONDITIONS BUT MAXIMUM GUSTS POTENTIALLY UP NEAR 40 KNOTS ARE A
POSSIBILITY ESPECIALLY ALONG THE LAKESHORE. THE RISK OF GUSTY
WINDS ENDS FROM WEST TO EAST AS THE WRAP AROUND CLOUDS/SNOW
SHOWERS SPREAD IN FROM THE WEST AND STABILIZE THE BOUNDARY LAYER.

WE ALSO MUST ASSES THE RISK OF ACCUMULATING SNOW. SINCE THE LOW IS
LIFTING NORTHEAST THE BEST PRECIPITATION WILL BE FARTHER NORTH.
MOST MODELS HAVE QPF UNDER A TENTH OF AN INCH LIQUID AND THE
MODELS OFTEN ARE OVERDONE ON WRAP/TROUGH PRECIP. SINCE
TEMPERATURES WILL BE RELATIVELY MILD TO START...I DOUBT THERE
WILL BE MUCH IF ANY ACCUM DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS ALTHOUGH
CANNOT RULE OUT A LIGHT COATING OF WET SNOW LATE IN THE DAY AS THE
TEMPERATURES DROP TOWARD FREEZING FROM WEST TO EAST.

IT WILL BE PLENTY COLD ENOUGH FOR LAKE EFFECT BY MONDAY MORNING.
WITH WINDS OUT OF THE WEST...THE PRIMARY SNOWBELT WILL BE IN TARGET
WITH JUST FLURRIES ELSEWHERE. THE INVERSION IS PROGGED TO BE RATHER
LOW BUT WE CAN PROBABLY GET SOME EFFICIENT SNOW PRODUCTION EVEN
UNDER THE SHALLOW INVERSION. WITH THE AIR MASS BECOMING QUITE
DRY... AMOUNTS WILL PROBABLY BE MODEST UNLESS WE GET A SINGLE
BAND OR TWO THAT STAY PUT. WILL TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE RISK AS
WE GET CLOSER AND GET PAST THE ADVISORIES THIS MORNING.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
WINTER RETURNS FOR THE EXTENDED FORECAST. A CLIPPER SYSTEM SLIDES
EAST ACROSS THE AREA ON TUESDAY BRINGING A ROUND OF SNOW TO THE
AREA. KEPT POPS AT 60-70 PERCENT WITH SOME POTENTIAL FOR THE SYSTEM
TO SLOW OR EVEN SHIFT SLIGHTLY FARTHER NORTH IF THE UPPER LEVEL
IMPULSE ENDS UP BEING A LITTLE STRONGER. SOME ADJUSTMENT IN TRACK
AND TIMING MAY BE NEEDED. A LITTLE SOON TO HAVE A GOOD HANDLE ON
AMOUNTS BUT EARLY ESTIMATES LOOK LIKE A WIDESPREAD 2-4 INCH
SNOWFALL.

AN ARCTIC FRONT MOVES SOUTH ACROSS THE LAKE ON TUESDAY
NIGHT...USHERING IN THE COLDEST AIR OF THE SEASON. 850MB TEMPS FALL
TO -24 TO -26C WITH LAKE EFFECT SNOW RAMPING UP WITHIN THE
NORTHWESTERLY FLOW. PERIODS OF SNOW SHOWERS EXPECTED DURING THE
MID-WEEK PERIODS AND HEAVY SNOWFALL IS POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF
THE SNOWBELT. HIGHS ON WEDNESDAY WILL PEAK AROUND 10 DEGREES WITH
SUB-ZERO WIND CHILL VALUES. TEMPERATURES WILL START TO WARM BY
FRIDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
CIGS WILL LOWER SW TO NE LATER TONIGHT THRU SAT MORNING. EXPECTING
FZRA TO DEVELOP SW TO NE THE END OF TONIGHT THRU LATE SAT MORNING
WHEN IT SHOULD REACH ERI. TEMPS WILL BE WARMING ON SAT SO FZRA WILL
CHANGE TO JUST RAIN WHILE LOW MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS DEVELOP. WILL
STAY WITH USING POPS OF 50% IN GRIDS TO START THE PRECIP AND
LIKEWISE FOLLOW TEMPS FOR CHG FROM FZRA TO RA. ERI MAY BE ONLY SITE
WHERE TEMPS MAY WARM ABOVE FREEZING BEFORE THE PRECIP BEGINS.

LIGHT SE WINDS WILL START TO INCREASE ON SAT AND BECOME SOUTH.

.OUTLOOK...RAIN WILL CHANGE TO SHSN ON SUNDAY. VFR MAY RETURN
BRIEFLY ON MONDAY THEN NON VFR AGAIN TUESDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
HIGH PRESSURE DEPARTS TODAY WITH SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS CONTINUING INTO
THIS EVENING. A BRIEF WINDOW OF SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE
FOR THE PENNSYLVANIA WATERS THIS EVENING WITH WINDS NEAR 20 KNOTS
BUT WILL JUST COVER THE POTENTIAL IN THE TEXT AS THE GALE WARNING IS
ALREADY UP FOR SUNDAY.

LOW PRESSURE TRACKING UP FROM THE GULF COAST WILL UNDERGO RAPID
DEEPENING AS IT TRACKS NORTHEAST ACROSS LAKE ERIE ON SUNDAY
MORNING...BEFORE CONTINUING INTO QUEBEC. THIS SYSTEM WILL PULL A
STRONG COLD FRONT ACROSS THE LAKE WITH WINDS INCREASING TO 35 KNOTS
GALES ON SUNDAY. THE WINDOW FOR SUSTAINED GALES WILL GENERALLY BE 6
HOURS OR LESS AS THE STRONGEST WINDS QUICKLY PULL AWAY. THE GALE
WARNING WILL BE IN EFFECT FOR THE WHOLE LAKE EXCEPT THE NEARSHORE
AND OPEN WATERS WEST OF RENO BEACH. THIS AREA WILL NEED A SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY BUT WILL HOLD OFF A LITTLE LONGER TO ISSUE THAT.
WATER LEVELS WILL DROP ON THE WESTERN BASIN TO NEAR THE CRITICAL
MARK AND WILL CONTINUE TO EVALUATE THE NEED FOR A LOW WATER ADVISORY
ON SUNDAY. WINDS WILL REMAIN IN THE 25-30 KNOT RANGE ON SUNDAY NIGHT
AS ARCTIC AIR SETTLES OVER THE LAKE BEHIND THE FRONT.

A CLIPPER SYSTEM WILL TRACK EAST ACROSS LAKE ERIE ON
TUESDAY...PULLING ANOTHER VERY STRONG COLD FRONT SOUTH ACROSS THE
LAKE BEHIND IT. NORTHWEST WINDS WILL INCREASE TO THE 25-35 KNOT
RANGE AGAIN.
