AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
341 PM EST SUN JAN 24 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH
MONDAY. LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK NORTHEAST FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS
AND ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY. THIS WILL
TAKE A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA TUESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL RETURN BRIEFLY ON THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
OVERALL A QUIET NIGHT WITH THE HIGH JUST OFF TO OUR EAST. THERE
HAS BEEN SOME LIGHT RADAR RETURNS SPREADING ACROSS THE EASTERN
GREAT LAKES WITH SOME WEAK ISENTROPIC LIFT. DOUBTFUL THERE WOULD
BE MUCH IF ANYTHING FOR OUR NORTHEAST CORNER. BUT IF SO IT MAY
FALL AS LIGHT FREEZING DRIZZLE. WILL LEAVE OUT OF THE FORECAST FOR
NOW...REALLY A SMALL CHANCE. OTHERWISE THOSE WHO HAVE HAD PLENTY
OF SUN TODAY WILL HAVE AN INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER OVERNIGHT.
EXPECTING MORE CLOUDS NORTH THAN SOUTH. TEMPERATURES WILL
COOL...BUT NOT AS MUCH WITH THE LIGHT SOUTH WIND CONTINUING FOR
ALL BUT THE SHELTERED LOCATIONS. EXPECTING 20S...WITH A FEW UPPER
TEENS IN THE TYPICAL COOL SPOTS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
THE GOOD WARM ADVECTIVE PUSH COMES MONDAY AND TEMPERATURES WILL
RISE INTO THE UPPER 30S/NEAR 40.

MONDAY NIGHT IN ADVANCE OF THE COLD FRONT WITH THE LOW MOVING
ACROSS THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES...SCATTERED PRECIP WILL BREAK OUT.
MOISTURE IS SOMEWHAT LIMITED WHICH MADE IT HARD TO GO MUCH MORE
THAN 50-60 PERCENT FOR PRECIP CHANCES. THERMAL PROFILES ADEQUATELY
WARM ENOUGH FOR RAIN...EXCEPTION MAY BE A FEW CHILLY VALLEYS OF NW
PA WHERE THEY HAVE A CHANCE OF SOME LIGHT FREEZING RAIN. HAVE
EARLY LOWS WITH TEMPS SLOWLY RISING OVERNIGHT ACROSS THE
EAST...MORE IN THE WAY OF STEADY TEMPS WEST.

THE COLD FRONT WILL BE PROGRESSING ACROSS WESTERN OHIO BY EARLY
TUESDAY MORNING...AND LIKELY REACHING EASTERN OHIO/NW PA EARLY IN
THE AFTERNOON. A DRY SLOT FOLLOWS BEHIND IT...BUT LINGERED SLIGHT
CHANCE OF PRECIP THROUGH THE DAY AS WE MAINTAIN GENERALLY CYCLONIC
FLOW. WITH THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE COLD AIR...ANY LINGERING PRECIP
WILL TRANSITION TO SNOW SHOWERS. TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY
STRUGGLE TO GO ANYWHERE. SO UPPER 30S/LOWER 40S WILL BE THE HIGHS
FOR THE DAY. SOME MAY LOSE A FEW DEGREES.

THE UPPER TROUGH CROSSES TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING.
AGAIN HAVE AT LEAST SLIGHT CHANCES FOR SNOW SHOWERS FOR ALL
AREAS...BUT FOCUS THE 50+ PERCENT CHANCES ACROSS NORTHEAST OHIO/NW
PA WHERE LAKE MOISTURE WILL HELP. BY WEDNESDAY MORNING H8 TEMPS
WILL BE MARGINALLY COLD ENOUGH FOR LAKE EFFECT AND THE FLOW WILL
BE SWITCHING FROM WEST-SOUTHWEST TO NORTHWEST. LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS
ONLY. WEDNESDAY NIGHT THE HIGH BUILDS IN. SEASONAL TEMPERATURES.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
ANOTHER FAST MOVING STORM SYSTEM WILL BE MOVING INTO THE CENTRAL
GREAT LAKES BY THURSDAY EVENING. THERE MAY BE A PERIOD OF SNOW
SHOWERS THURSDAY NIGHT WITH THE BEST CHANCES ACROSS NE OHIO INTO NW
PA. MODELS THEN DIFFER ON INTENSITY AND TIMING OF THE NEXT COUPLE
RIPPLES OF LOW PRESSURE THAT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE CENTRAL GREAT
LAKES SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY. SINCE THERE IS SO MUCH UNCERTAINTY WE
DID NOT GO WITH MORE THAN A SLIGHT CHANCE TO LOW END CHANCE POPS.

WARMER EACH DAY OF THE LONG TERM. HIGHS THURSDAY WILL RANGE FROM 30
TO 35 DEGREES. A COUPLE DEGREES WARMER ON FRIDAY. SOUTHWESTERLY
WINDS BRING IN A BIT MORE WARMTH SATURDAY WITH MOST LOCATIONS BACK
INTO THE THE 40S.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS HAVE RETURNED TO ALL TAF SITES. HOWEVER THERE MAY
STILL BE SOME PATCHES OF MVFR CEILINGS BETWEEN KERI AND
KYNG...ESPECIALLY INLAND NW PA. THE NEXT WEAK STORM SYSTEM WILL
MOVE ACROSS THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES THIS EVENING. SOME MVFR
CEILINGS MAY ACCOMPANY THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AXIS FOR THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE TO AROUND 10 KNOTS
ON MONDAY WHICH WILL SCOUR OUT THE MVFR CEILINGS. THE MVFR
CEILINGS MAY LINGER ACROSS EXTREME EASTERN OHIO INTO NW PA UNTIL
14Z MONDAY.

OUTLOOK...NON VFR POSSIBLE MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY IN LIGHT
RAIN/SNOW.

&&

.MARINE...
RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE EAST OF LAKE ERIE TONIGHT WITH
SOUTHWEST WINDS BECOMING SOUTHERLY BY SUNRISE. SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS
WILL INCREASE AHEAD OF LOW PRESSURE THAT WILL MOVE INTO THE CENTRAL
GREAT LAKES MONDAY NIGHT. STRONG LOW LEVEL JET AHEAD OF LOW PRESSURE
AND THEN STRONG COLD ADVECTION IN ITS WAKE MAY GET WINDS TO THE LOW
END GALE CONDITIONS FOR THE EASTERN THIRD OF LAKE ERIE. HAVE GONE
AHEAD AND ISSUED A GALE WATCH FROM NOON TUESDAY TO 1AM WEDNESDAY.
WINDS DECREASE BY TUESDAY MORNING AS THEY AT LEAST BRIEFLY SHIFT TO
THE NORTHWEST. HIGH PRESSURE WILL ONLY BRIEFLY TAKE CONTROL ON
WEDNESDAY WITH ANOTHER FAST MOVING STORM SYSTEM ARRIVING THURSDAY
NIGHT.

&&
