AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
345 AM EST SAT JAN 9 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL TRACK ACROSS NORTHERN OHIO LATE
TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING...DRAGGING AN ARCTIC FRONT ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA. THIS WILL USHER IN THE COLDEST TEMPS OF THE NEW YEAR
AND KICK OFF LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS FOR THE SNOWBELT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
SCATTERED LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS OVER THE CENTRAL PORTION OF THE
FORECAST AREA WILL MOVE EAST OF THE AREA BY LATE MORNING.  MOST
LOCATIONS WILL PICK UP A COUPLE OF HUNDREDTHS OF AN INCH OF RAIN
THIS MORNING.  MEANWHILE A DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM NEAR TEXAS
AND LOUISIANA BORDER WILL DEEPEN AND MOVE INTO THE MID MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY BY THIS EVENING.  COULD SEE SOME SHOWERS ACROSS NW OHIO LATE
THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING AHEAD OF LOW.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM GULF COAST WILL MOVE INTO THE MID MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY TODAY...THEN TRACK ACROSS NORTHERN OHIO SUNDAY MORNING. THE
GFS AND NAM HAVE THE LOW INTO EXTREME NE OHIO BY DAYBREAK
SUNDAY...WHILE THE ECMWF IS JUST A LITTLE SLOWER.  AS A RESULT
EXPECT OVERNIGHT LOWS TO OCCUR NEAR MIDNIGHT WITH SLOWLY RISING OR
NEAR STEADY TEMPS OVERNIGHT.  A RAIN SHIELD AHEAD OF THE LOW WILL
SPREAD ACROSS THE AREA OVERNIGHT.  UNFORTUNATELY BEHIND THE SYSTEM
IS THE COLDEST AIR OF THE SEASON.  EXPECT FALLING TEMPS SUNDAY
AFTERNOON WITH RAIN CHANGING OVER TO ALL SNOW BY THE AFTERNOON. A
WIDESPREAD 2-3 INCHES IS POSSIBLE ACROSS FORECAST AREA BEFORE ALL IS
SAID AND DONE.  EXPECT SNOW TO BE EXITING THE FORECAST AREA BY
SUNDAY EVENING.

BY DAYBREAK MONDAY THE 850MB TEMPS PLUNGE TO -14C TO -18C WITH
SURFACE TEMPS BEARLY STILL IN THE SINGLE DIGITS.  BUT WITH WINDS OF
15 TO 25 MPH WILL SEE WIND CHILLS AROUND ZERO TO MINUS 5.   LAKE
EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE SNOWBELT SUNDAY
NIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING WITH A WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW AND MODERATE
INSTABILITY OVER THE LAKE.   BUT RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE MOVES
QUICKLY ACROSS THE LOWER LAKES ON MONDAY CHOKING OFF THE LAKE EFFECT
MONDAY AFTERNOON.   BUT THE LULL WILL BE SHORT LIVED AS NEXT CLIPPER
SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH LATE MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE LONG WAVE TROUGH ALOFT WILL BEGIN TO PULL OUT WEDNESDAY WITH
SOME RIDGING AT THE SURFACE. THE ARCTIC AIR MASS WILL LINGER THOUGH
AND IT WILL BE A COLD DAY. THE RIDGE WILL PASS WELL SOUTH OF THE
AREA AND THE SOUTHWEST BREEZE WILL CONTINUE AND COMPOUND THE CHILL.
THE LAKE EFFECT SHOULD SHIFT TOWARD WESTERN NEW YORK.

THE MODELS HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT WITH FRONTOGENESIS ON THURSDAY AS A
FAST MOVING SHORT WAVE DROPS ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES. THE AIR MASS
WILL BE COLD AND RELATIVELY DRY BUT THESE SYSTEMS CAN SQUEEZE OUT
SOME SYNOPTIC SNOW WITH ENOUGH UPWARD MOTION. MY POP GUIDANCE IS
PRETTY LOW BUT WANTED TO AT LEAST MENTION A CHANCE OF SNOW WITH
HIGHER POPS FARTHER NORTH AND EAST.

MODELS BEGIN TO DIVERGE BY FRIDAY AND THE UNCERTAINTY INCREASES IN
THE FORECAST. THE ECMWF CONCENTRATES ON A BIG ATLANTIC STORM WHILE
THE GFS AND CMC DROP ANOTHER REINFORCING COLD FRONT ACROSS THE
GREAT LAKES. THE GFS DEVELOPS A WAVE ON THE FRONT BUT NO CONFIDENCE
IN THE STRENGTH OR LOCATION OF WAVES THAT FAR OUT. WILL KEEP AT
LEAST A SMALL CHANCE OF SNOW AT THE END OF THE WEEK AND THE
CHANCE FOR LAKE EFFECT MAY INCREASE AGAIN AS THE FLOW BECOMES
NORTHWEST. FORECAST TEMPERATURES WILL BE AT LEAST SEVERAL DEGREES
BELOW NORMAL FOR NOW...AND WE WILL SEE HOW THE MODELS TREND.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
DIFFICULT FORECAST FOR THE OVERNIGHT. LOW CONFIDENCE IN TIMING IN
AND OUT OF IFR/MVFR. TO START WIDESPREAD IFR CONDITIONS...BUT
THERE ARE A FEW HOLES OF MVFR AND EVEN AN OCCASIONAL VFR. SOUTHERN
IN/OH BOTH MVFR/VFR AND THAT HAS BEEN TRENDING NORTHWARD. BATCH OF
SHOWERS MAKING THEIR WAY ACROSS THE AREA BETWEEN 06Z AND
10Z...SHOULD TEMPORARILY LIFT CEILINGS WITH VSBY BOUNCING BETWEEN
MVFR AND IFR. TAFS HOLD MOST PLACES IN IFR THROUGH SUNRISE...FEEL
IT MAY BE HARD TO BUDGE THE LIFR CEILING...BUT IMPROVEMENT BEFORE
THEN STILL A POSSIBILITY. SLOW IMPROVEMENT EXPECTED FOR SATURDAY
WITH THE PRIMARY PRECIP SHIELD HOLDING OFF UNTIL AFTER 00Z TOL/FDY
AND AFTER 04Z ELSEWHERE. CONDITIONS WILL DROP WITH THE ARRIVAL OF
THE RAIN SATURDAY NIGHT. SOUTH WINDS WILL BE PREDOMINATE...BUT
WILL BACK SATURDAY AFTERNOON AS LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES FROM THE
SOUTHWEST...ON TRACK FOR AN OVERHEAD PASS LATE SATURDAY NIGHT. THE
COLD AIR ARRIVES SUNDAY.

OUTLOOK...WIDESPREAD NON VFR SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. RAIN WILL
TURN TO SNOW SUNDAY AFTERNOON. NON VFR TO LINGER EXTREME NE OH/NW
PA THROUGH MONDAY. MORE WIDESPREAD NON VFR PROBABLY WILL RETURN
LATE MON NIGHT AND TUESDAY...LINGERING INTO WEDNESDAY FOR NE
OH/NW PA. WEST-NORTHWEST WINDS WILL GUST SUNDAY AROUND 35 KNOTS.

&&

.MARINE...
SOUTH WINDS WILL INCREASE FOR A WHILE ON LAKE ERIE TODAY BUT THE
GRADIENT WILL WEAKEN AS LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES THE LAKE LATER TODAY
AND TONIGHT.

THE LOW WILL TRACK NEAR LAKE ERIE EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. A SHARP
INCREASE IN WIND SPEEDS FROM THE NORTHWEST WILL OCCUR FROM WEST TO
EAST ON SUNDAY AS THE SURFACE LOW AND ARCTIC COLD FRONT CROSS THE
LAKE. A GALE WATCH WILL BE ISSUED FOR SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT.

WINDS SHOULD DECREASE BELOW GALE FORCE BY MONDAY AND BACK TO THE
SOUTHWEST AHEAD OF ANOTHER ARCTIC FRONT. WINDS WILL APPROACH GALE
FORCE AGAIN ON TUESDAY AS DEEP LOW PRESSURE PASSES NORTH OF THE LAKE
AND ANOTHER ARCTIC FRONT CROSSES THE LAKE. THE POTENTIAL FOR
FREEZING SPRAY AND ICING WILL BEGIN TO DEVELOP WITH THE ARCTIC AIR
AND WIND/WAVES AND THE CHILLING OF THE LAKE WATER MONDAY INTO MID
WEEK.
