AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
403 PM EST MON JAN 11 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OVER OKLAHOMA WILL MOVE ACROSS THE CENTRAL LAKES
TUESDAY...DRAGGING ANOTHER COLD FRONT ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA.  A
RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY WEDNESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT MOVING THE LOW CENTERED OVER OKLAHOMA INTO
THE CENTRAL LAKES BY DAYBREAK TUESDAY.  THE TRAILING FRONT WILL
PRODUCE WIDESPREAD SYNOPTIC SNOW AND ANOTHER REINFORCING SHOT OF
COLD AIR.   SNOW SHOULD REACH NW OHIO LATE THIS EVENING AND
EVENTUALLY REACH NE OH/NW PA TOWARD THE MORNING RUSH.

HAVE ISSUED A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA
FOR TOMORROW MORNING.  ALTHOUGH TOTAL SYNOPTIC SNOWFALL AMOUNTS WILL
GENERALLY BE IN THE 2-3 INCH RANGE...SOME OF THE HEAVIEST SNOW WILL
OCCUR DURING THE MORNING RUSH.  THIS COMBINED WITH WIND GUSTS UP TO
30 MPH WILL PRODUCE HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS FOR THE MORNING
COMMUTE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
SNOW WILL BE TAPERING OFF FROM THE WEST TOMORROW MORNING.   SNOW
INTENSITY MAY WELL INCREASE WEDNESDAY IN THE EAST AS AN UPPER LEVEL
SHORT WAVE MOVES ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA COMBINED WITH SOME ADDED
LIFT FROM 300 MB JET MAX.

EXPECT THE LAKE EFFECT SNOW TO BEGIN TUESDAY EVENING AS 850MB TEMPS
PLUNGE TO -17C CREATING MODERATE INSTABILITY OVER THE LAKE.  FOR NOW
WILL JUST GO WITH A WARNING FOR ERIE PA AND AN ADVISORY FOR REMAINDER
OF THE PRIMARY SNOWBELT. MODELS CONTINUE TO HINT AT A NORTHWESTERLY
FLOW DEVELOPING OVER THE LAKE TUESDAY NIGHT.  IF THAT IS INDEED THE
CASE THE INLAND RIDGES IN ASHTABULA AND CRAWFORD COUNTY COULD
APPROACH WARNING CRITERIA.   QUICK MOVING RIDGE MOVES ACROSS THE
UPPER OHIO VALLEY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AGAIN FORCING THE LAKE BANDS
NORTH OVER THE LAKE.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
TEMPERATURES WILL WARM BACK UP TO NEAR OR ABOVE FREEZING LATE THIS
WEEK AHEAD OF THE NEXT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TO TRACK OUT OF THE
PLAINS. MODEL SPREAD CONTINUES TO CONTRIBUTE UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK
AND TIMING PRECIPITATION AS THIS SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH THE GREAT
LAKES FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. THE 12Z ECMWF WAS A FAST OUTLIER
FROM THE CONSENSUS SO WEIGHTED THE FORECAST TOWARDS THE SLOWER
SOLUTION. CURRENT PROJECTIONS SHOW THE BULK OF THE PRECIPITATION
FALLING AS RAIN THROUGH SATURDAY...THEN TRANSITIONING BACK TO SNOW
AS THE SYSTEM PULLS AWAY ON SUNDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL FALL AGAIN
BEHIND THIS SYSTEM TO START NEXT WEEK BACK INTO THE 20S.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
SNOW HAS MAINLY ENDED ACROSS THE AREA FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE
AFTERNOON. A CLIPPER SYSTEM WILL TRACK THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES
TONIGHT BRINGING ANOTHER ROUND OF SNOW MOVING WEST TO EAST ACROSS
THE AREA. MOST SITES WILL EXPERIENCE ABOUT A 9 HOUR WINDOW OF
LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOW. CONDITIONS WILL FLUCTUATE BETWEEN MVFR AND
IFR DURING THE SNOW. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE WEST SOUTHWEST WITH
THE PASSAGE OF A COLD FRONT AND INCREASE TO 15-20 KNOTS WITH GUSTS
OF 25-30 KNOTS. SOME BLOWING OF SNOW MAY CONTINUE TO LIMIT
VISIBILITIES ONCE THE SNOW HAS STOPPED FALLING.

OUTLOOK...NON VFR TUESDAY...LINGERING INTO WEDNESDAY NE OH/NW PA.
NON VFR POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY NIGHT...LINGERING INTO THURSDAY FOR NE
OH/NW PA.

&&

.MARINE...
WINDS WILL INCREASE AGAIN WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE NEXT ARCTIC COLD
FRONT ON TUESDAY MORNING. WESTERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 35 KNOT
GALES ALONG AND BEHIND THE FRONT. THE GALE WARNING IS IN EFFECT INTO
TUESDAY EVENING ON THE WESTERN BASIN AND CONTINUES THROUGH TUESDAY
NIGHT ON THE EAST END OF THE LAKE WHERE WINDS WILL REMAIN LONGER.
LOW WATER WILL BE A PROBLEM AGAIN ON THE WESTERN BASIN WITH WATER
LEVELS DROPPING BELOW THE CRITICAL MARK DURING THE AFTERNOON ON
TUESDAY. WINDS WILL DECREASE ON WEDNESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY. ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL TRACK OUT
OF THE PLAINS TOWARDS THE END OF THE WEEK. &&
