Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
1140 PM EST Thu Dec 29 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure which will remain northeast of the Great Lakes
through Friday will take a trough across the area tonight. High
pressure will move across the Gulf Coast states Friday bringing a
ridge to the Ohio Valley. A clipper will track east-southeast
across the lakes Saturday. High pressure will have another brief
stay here Sunday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
The first in a series of upper waves has crossed I-71 and is
heading toward the PA border. Cloud tops are warming and the snow
intensity has diminished from an hour or two ago. There was
actually some lightning in Cuyahoga County as the band moved
through. Looking at water vapor imagery some drying is noted
behind the wave. A second wave is currently crossing the western
Lakes and will arrive later tonight. Expect the synoptic snow to
continue to diminish the next few hours and then pick up again
later tonight as the next wave arrives. We should also see the
lake become more involved as slightly colder air arrives aloft.
Have gone ahead and lowered precip chances and amounts in the
west. Bumped up accums slightly in the southeast end of the area
where the band of snow is currently heading. No changes to the
lake effect snow headlines. Have had a few reports of 3 or 4
inches already today.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
Lake effect snow showers will persist through the day Friday across
the snow belt. Parameters remain favorable into the afternoon hours
with lake-850mb differentials peaking at 15C and lake induced
inversion heights remaining in the 10-12kft range. Snow will
slowly diminish after 21Z Friday as drier air moves into the area and
surface ridge axis moves east across the area. Lingering snow
showers are possible for a few hours after Midnight in NW PA, but
much of the snow across NE OH will end between 00Z-06Z. Storm total
snowfall amounts in NW PA of 6 to 8 inches expected and possible
amounts up to 12 inches in eastern Erie and northern Crawford.
General amounts of 6 to 8 inches expected in northern Geauga, with 3
to 6 inches expected in the advisory areas. Also cut back the end
time of the advisories/warnings in NE OH to 03Z.

Saturday will begin dry across the area with surface high pressure
centered southeast of the area. A low will track through the
northern Great Lakes with a trailing cold front approaching the area
Saturday night. Models continue to indicate precip overspreading the
area ahead of the front Saturday afternoon/evening. Holding with
chance pops as of now for this time period. Soundings indicate
mainly snow Saturday afternoon/night with some rain possibly mixing
in Saturday afternoon. Accumulations should be minimal with surface
temperatures remaining near/above freezing into early evening, and
most of the precip ending by then.

Another shortwave will lift northeast from the southern Plains
toward the Great Lakes Sunday. Precip expected to overspread the
area from southwest to northeast late Sunday afternoon/Sunday
evening. There may be a mix of rain/snow at the onset but given
pretty strong WAA with this system, expecting mainly rain,
especially after 06Z. No major changes to temps from previous
forecast for the Friday through Sunday night period.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Arctic air will return to the region during this period. Mild
conditions are expected on Monday as low pressure tracks by to the
north and west and places the region in the warm sector with 850 mb
temperatures warming to near 8-10C as the upper level ridge shifts
east off the east coast. The pattern gradually changes as the upper
level trough gradually shifts east into the upper Mississippi Valley
and the trailing cold front moves into the region late Tuesday or
Tuesday night with some disagreement between the ECMWF and GFS. The
GFS is faster with the progression of the front as it has a stronger
shortwave lifting ne through the region on Tuesday.

Temperatures will begin falling Tuesday night and continue to drop
into Thursday. Near the end of the period...the models diverge. The
ECMWF produces an inverted trough northward in the Ohio Valley which
could spread precipitation back into the region. For now will trend
with the GFS and linger lake effect snows primarily in the snowbelt
as arctic air spreads eastward.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z Friday THROUGH Tuesday/...
Lake effect snow bands continue to develop across the area as the
trough pushes east and out of the area. Difficulty will be where
exactly each of the bands will setup since we are in a multiband
scenario. Tried to time and estimate the best location for the
bands and how they will affect each of the TAF sites. Some snow
activity is streaming off Lake Michigan into Toledo and Findlay.
Flow is expected to remain nearly stationary through the day time
morning hours and then shift back around to a southwest direction
by tomorrow evening. This should bring an end to the lake effect
snow across the area tomorrow evening. Winds will be gusty but
since snow is so wet I don't anticipate much in the way of blowing
snow.

OUTLOOK...Non-VFR returning later Saturday and continuing much of
the time through Tuesday.

&&

.MARINE...
Low pressure over eastern Ontario extended a cold front over the
area this morning. As the low moves off to the east, eventually
becoming absorbed in a stronger low over the New England states, a
strong pressure gradient should set up over the Great Lakes
allowing for winds to 30 knots and waves to build above 4 feet
across the basin with waves to 8 feet possible in the eastern
zones. Thus, a small craft advisory is in place through Friday
night/Saturday morning. A ridge of high pressure will build in
behind the low on Friday into Saturday but a new low will quickly
come digging in from the west not allowing for the pressure
gradient to relax. Thus, winds should still be in the 25 to 30
knots range but from the south. With low-level winds forecasted
to be about 50 knots, could certainly get close to gales if the
air mixes down, but plenty of uncertainty remains, so left the
forecast below gales for now. Once this clipper low moves east of
the area Saturday night into Sunday morning, winds should relax
and become fairly light as high pressure moves in for the start of
next week.
