OUDEMAN

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
703 PM EST Sat Dec 17 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
Another arctic cold front will push east across the area tonight.
High pressure over the central plains will spread across ohio monday
then weaken tuesday to allow a trough to move across lake erie
before rebuilding over the upper ohio valley wednesday. A low will
track east near lake erie thursday pulling another cold front across
the region.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
The upper trough being well west of the area will induce a wave of
low pressure that moves along the front tracking ne up the eastern
part of the cwa tonight. Much of the significant precip with this
wave will be rain then as colder air is drawn se across the cwa the
rain will change to snow with a possible period of some graupel
occurring during the changeover. There is some concern that the rain
in the east and melting snow could be enough to produce some minor
flooding in low-lying and poor drainage areas. The threat currently
appears low enough to not issue a flood watch, especially since
temps have not warmed up as much as though today. The advisory for
some patchy freezing rain for lucas co will continue until late
evening when precip there should change to just snow.

Since the heavier precip will be tapering down soon after the
changeover occurs, snow accumulation should be only an inch or two.

By daybreak, temps should already be down a little below 20 in the
nw but only into the upper 20s in the east.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
The arctic air will continue to spread se across the cwa sun into
sun night with temps fairly steady sunday then down into the single
digits to lower teens sun night. The remaining widespread snow in
the east sun morning will transition to lake effect snow showers
into sun night. Very dry air aloft should limit the snow shower
potential later sun into monday morning until the snow showers taper
off late mon morning into mon afternoon. For this lake effect event,
rough estimates are for only 2 to 5 inches of snow in the snowbelt
so may not even be a headline situation.

High pressure spreading ene across the area mon into mon night
should bring dry conditions thru tue night although there is a
trough moving across lake erie late tue or tue night that could
bring some isolated flurries.

The arctic temps mon and mon night should start to moderate closer
to normal by tue afternoon. Wind chill readings may again be near
the critical minus 10 degree mark sunday night and monday night
although winds should be fairly light.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Not many changes to the long term today. Overall the models are in
better agreement than they have been.  Will try for a dry day on
Wednesday as warm air advection precip will remain north of the
area. On Thursday a surface low will pass to the north of Lake Erie
and precip chances will begin to increase Wednesday night as this
system approaches.  Some wintry precip is possible through Thursday
but this should not be a big deal as the low moves off rapidly to
the northeast.  Ridging is expected for the end of the workweek and
start of the weekend.  Temperatures will average below normal for
the period.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z Sunday THROUGH Thursday/...
Colder air is pressing across northwest Ohio into north central
Ohio behind a cold front and will continue to spread across
northeast Ohio and northwest PA before daybreak along with a wind
shift to northwest. The cold air is initially shallow though and
there is a risk for freezing rain/drizzle for a few hours during
the transition to snow from west to east overnight. Drier and
colder air will push across the area on Sunday and snow will taper
to a few snow showers. Ceilings will improve to MVFR everywhere
and eventually VFR across northwest Ohio. Some lake effect snow
showers will continue across extreme northeast Ohio and northwest
PA into Sunday night.

OUTLOOK...Non-VFR will continue Monday in the snowbelt of extreme
northeast OH and northwest PA. Non-VFR likely again on Thursday.

&&

.MARINE...
A strong cold front will cross Lake Erie by morning.  Northwest
winds will increase behind the front and the central and eastern
portions of the lake will see a period of small craft conditions.
Winds will quickly diminish late in the day Sunday so the small
craft will be relatively short lived.  Ridging will occur for the
first portion of the workweek with light south to southwest flow
continuing into Wedneday. An area of low pressure is expected to
pass north of the lake on Thursday dragging a cold front across the
region.

&&

     OHZ003-006>008.
PA...None.
