AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
752 AM EDT MON MAY 25 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
MUCH OF THE REGION WILL REMAIN IN A WARM AND HUMID AIR MASS FOR THE
START OF THE WEEK.  SEVERAL UPPER LEVEL SYSTEMS WILL MOVE ACROSS
THE AREA BRINGING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL
MOVE ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES WEDNESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
SHOWERS ARE MOVING INTO EASTERN INDIANA AND PARTS OF WESTERN OHIO
EARLY THIS MORNING. PRECIPITATION TRENDS APPEAR TO BE SLIGHTLY
AHEAD OF MODEL FORECASTS. I WILL MODIFY THE PRECIPITATION FORECAST
TO ADJUST FOR THE SHORT TERM TRENDS AND INCREASE THE POPS FOR THIS
MORNING MAINLY IN NW OHIO. HOURLY TEMPERATURES ARE TOO COOL AND
WILL BE ADJUSTED UP A FEW DEGREES.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... THE FORECAST AREA
IS IN THE WARM SECTOR TODAY. BOTH THE NAM AND THE GFS SHOW A SHORT
WAVE MOVING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA 18Z-00Z TIME FRAME. A
MODERATELY STRONG 850MB JET OVER INDIANA SHOULD BEGIN TO PUSH SOME
OF THE HIGHER DEWPOINT AIR INTO THE REGION. THE DEEPER MOISTURE
COMBINED WITH THE SHORT WAVE SHOULD LEAD TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON. THE AREAL EXTENT OF THE SHOWERS WILL
BE DIFFICULT TO PREDICT BUT THE HRRR MODEL KEEPS THE COVERAGE
FAIRLY SCATTERED. I WILL KEEP POPS IN THE 40 TO 50 PERCENT RANGE
FOR TODAY. GUIDANCE TEMPERATURES LOOK REASONABLE AND I WILL NOT
STRAY FAR FROM THESE VALUES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
WARM AND MOIST AIR MASS WILL REMAIN OVER THE FORECAST AREA TONIGHT
THROUGH WEDNESDAY.  THE MODELS SHOW LOW LEVEL MOISTURE INCREASING ON
TUESDAY WITH DEW POINTS CLIMBING INTO THE 60S.  ANOTHER SHORT WAVE
WILL MOVE THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA ON TUESDAY.  WITH THE
INCREASE IN MOISTURE...THE SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY SHOULD BE
MORE WIDESPREAD ON TUESDAY AS COMPARED TO TODAY. THE GFS SHOWS THE HEAD
OF AN 850MB JET PUSHING INTO SOUTHERN OHIO IN THE AFTERNOON ON
TUESDAY AND THIS COULD TRIGGER SOME ORGANIZED CONVECTION.  SPC HAS A
SLIGHT RISK REGION JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA WITH THE
WFO CLE AREA HIGHLIGHTED AS MARGINAL. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS
THE LOWER GREAT LAKES ON WEDNESDAY.  SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY SHOULD CONTINUE WITH THIS FRONTAL PASSAGE. A BRIEF RIDGE OF
HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD BUILD THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
ALTHOUGH HIGH PRESSURE WILL START TO SHIFT TO THE EAST ON FRIDAY...
DRY CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL. AMPLE SUN SHOULD SUPPORT HIGHS IN THE
LOW TO MID 80S. LOW PRESSURE WILL PASS NORTH OF THE GREAT LAKES ON
FRIDAY WITH THE TRAILING COLD FRONT SLOWLY SINKING SOUTH TOWARDS THE
AREA. MODELS HAVE CONSIDERABLE SPREAD IN TIMING THE FRONT WITH THE
00Z/25 GFS RUNNING NEARLY 12 HOURS FASTER THAN THE ECMWF AND GEM.
HAVE SIDED WITH THE BETTER CONSENSUS FOR NOW AND KEPT CHANCES OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FAIRLY LOW ON FRIDAY NIGHT...RAMPING UP AS
THE FRONT APPROACHES ON SATURDAY. WILL NEED TO ADJUST FRONTAL TIMING
AS MODELS COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT THROUGH THE WEEK. THE FRONT
APPEARS TO STALL OVER THE AREA INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH AN ACTIVE
PATTERN SETTING UP.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
MOISTURE WILL INCREASE FROM THE SOUTHWEST TODAY AS LOW PRESSURE
TRACKS OUT OF THE PLAINS ACROSS THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES. SCATTERED
LIGHT SHOWERS WILL SPREAD INTO NORTHWEST OHIO AFTER 12Z. LIFT WILL
INCREASE AS A SHORTWAVE TROUGH LIFTS UP THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WITH
A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS SHIFTING EAST ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON. A LITTLE BETTER HEATING WILL BE FOCUSED TO THE EAST THIS
AFTERNOON WHICH MAY RESULT IN BETTER CHANCES OF THUNDERSTORMS AT
THE EASTERN SITES...STARTING AT MFD/CLE AT 19Z AND REACHING ERI BY
23Z. BRIEF IFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE IN THUNDERSTORMS...OTHERWISE
EXPECTING VFR UNTIL LATE TONIGHT. DEWPOINTS AND LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
CONTINUE TO INCREASE...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE WEST OVERNIGHT AND SOME
BR OR STRATUS MAY DEVELOP OVERNIGHT. SOUTHERLY WINDS RAMP UP TODAY
TO 15-20 KNOTS WITH GUSTS OF 25-30 KNOTS THROUGH 23Z.

.OUTLOOK...NON VFR POSSIBLE MON NIGHT THROUGH WED IN SCT SHRA AND
TSRA.

&&

.MARINE...
SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL BE BRISK TODAY WITH WINDS WEST OF VERMILION
APPROACHING 20 KNOTS. GIVEN THE RELATIVELY COOL WATER
TEMPERATURES...EXPECT THE WAVE RESPONSE TO BE LOW ENOUGH TO HOLD
OFF FOR NOW ON ISSUING A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY. WE WILL KEEP AN EYE
ON WINDS THIS MORNING AND MAY NEED TO ISSUE FOR THE AFTERNOON IF
WINDS CREEP UP HIGH ENOUGH. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED
TO MOVE EAST ACROSS LAKE ERIE FROM THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS
EVENING.

WINDS WILL DECREASE QUICKLY THIS EVENING BUT REMAIN OUT OF THE
SOUTHWEST THROUGH WEDNESDAY...BECOMING LIGHT AND VARIABLE ON
THURSDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN.
