Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
322 PM EDT Fri Jun 30 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will approach the region tonight into Saturday
providing opportunities for showers and thunderstorms. The front
is expected to pass the area during the afternoon on Saturday.
A brief dry period will occur for the second half of the weekend
before the passage of another weak cold front on Monday. High
pressure will briefly build before more unsettled weather
arrives by midweek.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Convection had initiated across western counties of the forecast
area at the time of this issuance. Will see coverage expand
eastward through this evening and continue overnight as an upper
level trough swings through the region. The environment is
unstable as A gulf feed keeps temperatures and humidity high.
The limiting factor at this time is shear which suggests more
disorganized storms with less risk of higher-end/long-lived
severe. Storms will pulse with the highest risk for downdraft
damaging winds. Storms will also support high rainfall rates of
2" or greater, which will increase risk for localized flooding
for storms that train over the same areas.

The shortwave trough will move into the area later tonight
supporting ongoing convection across the area. As the daytime
heating diminishes the strength of the storms will likely lessen
as we approach the overnight/early morning hours. However at
this time the increased moisture immediately ahead of the
boundary will support higher rainfall amounts in any strong
storms, with PW around 2".

Dewpoints will remain in the upper 60s overnight which will keep
the temperatures warm around 70 overnight.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
Timing of the frontal boundary passage will be a primary
trigger for showers/storms on Saturday. The trend has been to
move the front through earlier in the day keeping showers mainly
in the east through midday. Though there will be some midlevel
drying, there will be sufficient moisture to support afternoon
convection as the day destabilizes.

High temperatures each day through the short term will generally be
in the lower 80s. Should be a pretty nice day for everyone on Sunday
with any showers holding off until late day across northwest Ohio as
a weak cold front approaches the area under the influence of an
upper level trough.

This front will drop south into the forecast area Sunday night into
Monday and stall out. This will mean a chance of showers and storms,
mainly Monday afternoon as we get sufficient heating and moisture
below cooler temperatures aloft.

A shortwave trough will be approaching the area from the west come
Tuesday, but there are some pretty significant timing difference
between the models. For now just stuck with slight to chance PoPs
for most of the region Tuesday afternoon with chance PoPs everywhere
Tuesday night.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
A trough will be moving through the area Wednesday with a chance for
thunderstorms for everyone as it moves through. Beyond Wednesday
there remains quite a bit of uncertainty. It doesn't look to be a
washout by any means, but there will at least be a chance of showers
through the end of the week as we may be under northwest flow with
some embedded shortwave troughs. High temperatures through the long
term will be near or slightly below normal.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z Friday THROUGH Wednesday/...
VFR Conditions are expected to deteriorate to MVFR or worse
briefly this afternoon as scattered thunderstorms develop across
the area. High humidity values will support torrential rainfall
with visibilities of 2sm or less if directly impacted.
Convection is expected to develop starting in the west (TOL/FDY)
around 19Z with more organized storms from 21-02Z. Intermittent
periods of VFR will be possible. Precip chances will continue
through Saturday morning as the upper trough axis moves into
the area. Winds will remain predominantly south to southwest at
5 to 15 knots through the period.

OUTLOOK...Non-VFR conditions possible in thunderstorms Saturday
before becoming more isolated for Sunday and Monday.

&&

.MARINE...
Southwest winds will continue across the lake tonight before
becoming more westerly as a cold front moves through. West winds of
5 to 15 knots will then continue across Lake Erie through Sunday
night.

Winds turn more out of the northwest Monday as another cold front
moves south, but will remain on the weaker side at less than 10
knots. Winds will veer around to the east or northeast Tuesday and
remain out of that direction at 5 to 10 knots into Wednesday.
