AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
1152 PM EST FRI FEB 13 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE CENTRAL LAKES SATURDAY DRAGGING
ANOTHER ARCTIC COLD FRONT ACROSS THE AREA. A DOME OF ARCTIC AIR WILL
MOVE SE ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES THIS WEEKEND...AND WILL BE CENTERED
OVER THE FORECAST AREA BY MONDAY MORNING.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
AREA OF SNOW SPREADING ACROSS THE AREA AT THIS TIME PUTTING DOWN A

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
ARCTIC FRONT WILL BLAST THROUGH THE AREA SATURDAY MORNING.  PLENTY
OF MOISTURE AND DYNAMICS FOR SNOW.  THINK WIDESPREAD 1-3 INCHES WITH
2-4 ACROSS NE OHIO AND NW PA IS POSSIBLE.  SNOW SHOULD TAPER OFF IN
THE AFTERNOON AS THE FRONT PUSHES SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA.  AFTER
THAT WE WILL SEE TEMPERATURES START TO FALL AND NW WINDS PICK UP TO
15 TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 40 MPH POSSIBLE.  EXPECT SINGLE DIGIT
TEMPERATURES AND WIND CHILL TEMPS OF -10 TO -20 DEGREES BY SATURDAY
EVENING.  THE 850MB TEMPS PLUNGE TO -26C BY DAYBREAK SUNDAY.   THINK
THERE WILL BE SOME LINGERING CLOUDS...BUT EVEN WITH THAT SEE SURFACE
TEMPS OF -5 TO -10...COMBINED WITH 10 TO 20 MPH WINDS WILL PRODUCE
DANGEROUS WINDS CHILLS OF -25 TO -30 DEGREES.  WINDS WILL DIMINISH
SIGNIFICANTLY DURING THE DAY SUNDAY.  MAY OR MAY NOT NEED AN

COLDER THAN SUNDAY MORNING...AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN AND CLOUDS
CLEAR OUT.  BUT WINDS SHOULD BE NEAR CALM BY DAYBREAK MONDAY.

BACKTRACKING A BIT...BY SATURDAY EVENING LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL
DEVELOP ACROSS NE OHIO AND NW PA.  SATURDAY EVENING THE 850MB TEMPS
PLUNGE TO -26C.  FROM THE BUFKIT SOUNDING EXTREME INSTABILITY
DEVELOPS OVER THE LAKE WITH CLOUD TOPS TO 10K POSSIBLE.  INVERSION
SETS UP OVERNIGHT DROPPING TO 3K FT BY DAYBREAK SUNDAY...BUT BEFORE
THAT WILL GET A GOOD 4-6 HOURS OF EXTREME INSTABILITY.  CONCERN IS
STRONG WINDS MAY OPEN UP CRACKS IN LAKE ERIE ICE COVER.  FOR NOW
WILL GO WIDESPREAD 1-3 INCHES WITH 3-5 ALONG THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS
OF THE INLAND SNOWBELT.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
ANOTHER CLIPPER WILL BE MOVE ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION TUESDAY

CLIMB INTO THE MIDDLE 20S. COOLER WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY WITH HIGHS
IN THE TEENS. LOWS THROUGH THE LONG TERM WILL GENERALLY BE 3 TO 5
DEGREES EITHER SIDE OF ZERO.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AREAS OF MVFR AND LOCAL IFR SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO BRUSH NORTHEAST
OHIO AND NORTHWEST PA OVERNIGHT. ELSEWHERE IT SHOULD BE VFR
OVERNIGHT. THE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WIND WILL INCREASE TO 15 KNOTS
WITH LOCAL GUSTS TO 25 OR EVEN 30 KNOTS.

THE ARCTIC FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA SATURDAY MORNING WITH IFR
CONDITIONS IN SNOW. BURSTS OF MODERATE TO PERHAPS HEAVY SNOW AND
BLOWING SNOW ARE LIKELY...POSSIBLY WHITE-OUT CONDITIONS. THE SNOW
WILL LIGHTEN UP IN THE AFTERNOON BUT MVFR CONDITIONS AND LOCAL IFR
CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE INTO SATURDAY NIGHT IN SNOW SHOWERS AND
BLOWING SNOW...ESPECIALLY ACROSS NE OH/NW PA. 2 TO 4 INCHES OF NEW
SNOW IS LIKELY. THE NEW SNOW WILL BE POWDERY...BLOWING BARE IN
SOME PLACES AND DRIFTING ELSEWHERE. VFR CONDITIONS WILL RETURN

KNOTS THROUGH THE EVENING. WIND CHILLS WILL DROP TO 25 TO 30
DEGREES BELOW ZERO BY SATURDAY NIGHT...DANGEROUS COLD CONDITIONS
FOR OUTDOOR WORK.

CLIPPER WILL REACH NORTHERN NY BY MIDDAY ON SATURDAY. AS THE FRONT
PASSES SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST AND INCREASE
