Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
320 PM EST Wed Dec 28 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure centered over WV will slide east and move off the
Mid Atlantic coast tonight. This will allow an arctic front to
push across the area overnight. Lake effect snow is expected to
develop tomorrow into Friday across the snowbelt. High pressure
will build back over the area late Friday night.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
The skies have cleared out everywhere except extreme NW PA with
high pressure now centered over WV.  Models continue in good
agreement moving the high off the Mid Atlantic Coast by late this
evening. This will allow an arctic boundary...now over the Upper
Midwest...to move across the area overnight. Precip will spread
into NW OH late this evening and spread over the entire area
overnight. The majority of event will occur after midnight
tonight...in which case thicknesses seem to support all snow or a
quick transition to all snow.  Models have been over forecasting
qpf this morning. so undercut model qpf for forecast. Looks like a
widespread inch or two with 1-3 possible in the snowbelt.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
The synoptic snow transitions to a Lake effect event toward evening
as the 850mb temps dip to -10c.   Deep moisture and good instability
develop over the lake by daybreak Friday.  The 850MB temps drop to
-13c and 500mb temps plunge to -35c for a 39 degree lake to 500 mb
differential. In addition very thick layer of LL moisture with
cloud tops up to 10k ft.  The only negative factor is wind shear.
Surface winds are from due West while the 850mb winds are from the
NW. This would favor a multiple snow band situation instead of a
single mega band setting up.

Nonetheless...have issued a Lake effect watch for the Inland
Snowbelt area starting Thursday evening at 6 PM and running through
4 AM Saturday. Could see a widespread 4 to 8 inches with 8 to 12
possible along the higher terrain. Areas outside of the snowbelt
could see a dusting up to 3 inches during this time period. High
pressure builds in quickly Friday night cutting off lake effect by
early Saturday morning.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Sunday will start out with a surface high centered over Ohio leading
to dry conditions and seasonable temperatures. As the high slides
off to the northeast Sunday evening into Sunday night another wave
of precipitation will move in from the south. The GFS and ECMWF
continue to differ with just how quickly the precipitation will move
into the area from the south. The GFS remains about 6 to 12 hours
slower than the ECMWF. Went with a blend of the two models for now,
which slows the onset of the precipitation down just a little from
previous forecasts. We could see some freezing rain at the onset
depending when it arrives. Temperatures will be around or just below
freezing Sunday night before temperatures rise above freezing Monday
morning.

Rain looks likely Monday as a surface low moves across the Upper
Midwest. Southerly winds will warm temperatures up into the middle
40s in most locations. Similar conditions may be in place for
Tuesday with a chance for rain showers and temperatures well up into
the 40s. The ECMWF is significantly quicker than the GFS in clearing
things out Tuesday, but not buying into that solution just yet.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z Wednesday THROUGH Monday/...
VFR conditions everywhere but KERI. The low clouds over KERI will
move off to the east within the next hour or so. VFR conditions
continue into tonight when a cold front will move into the area
bringing MVFR ceilings to most of the TAF sites. Looks like temps
should support all snow tonight everywhere with IFR conditions
possible for brief periods of time in the heavier snow showers.
The front will push through by the morning with a brisk westerly
wind following.

OUTLOOK...Non-VFR into Friday in -sn. There may be a brief break
to VFR before non-VFR is expected to develop again Saturday.

&&

.MARINE...
Light winds will continue tonight before picking back up Thursday
morning behind a cold front. Southwest winds initially will turn
westerly at 20 to 25 knots, strongest overnight Thursday through
Friday afternoon. A Small Craft Advisory is in effect from Cleveland
eastward from 15Z Thursday through 06Z Saturday. It is valid from
19Z Thursday through 00Z Saturday west of Cleveland. Winds will die
down just briefly Friday night before picking right back up out of
the southwest Saturday morning. Another Small Craft Advisory will
likely be needed Saturday.
