Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
326 AM EDT Tue May 2 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Strong low pressure centered over the northern Great Lakes will
shift to Quebec by this evening. High pressure will briefly
build over the region for Wednesday. Another strong low
pressure system over the lower Mississippi Valley Wednesday will
move up the Ohio Valley Thursday and Friday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
Have started to see precip coverage expand as the area remains
under the influence of a strong upper low to the north. The
cyclonic flow around this system will continue to usher cooler
air into the area. The strongest cold air advection is just
about over but still expect 850 mb temps to fall another 2 to 4
degrees today. Scattered showers will continue through midday
then begin to diminish in the west and south as drier air
finally starts to move into the region. A quick look at BUFKIT
shows that there is little hope for any breaks in the overcast
today. Have stayed to the cool side of guidance for temps.

Local schemes and forecast soundings suggest wind gusts in
excess of 45 mph are likely today. Have gone ahead and issued a
wind advisory for the entire area. Winds should ramp up later
this morning with peak gusts likely occurring around 18z.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
One last push of cold air will move across the east end of the
area tonight. This will be enough to keep rain showers in the
forecast into Wednesday morning. Further west it should remain
dry but mostly cloudy. This is probably a good thing because any
clearing could result in frost. As it stands most locations will
bottom out in the upper 30s resulting in little chance for
frost. High pressure will briefly build over the area on
Wednesday. Clouds should decrease some but still expecting
mostly cloudy to partly sunny skies most areas. High and mid
level clouds from the low approaching from the southwest will
begin to arrive late in the day. Will try for dry weather during
the evening but rain is likely most areas by daybreak Thursday.
If anything...the models are trending slightly further north
with the low track. This means the local area will be in the
sweet spot of the precip shields and will go ahead and bump
precip chances to categorical wording all areas. Will need that
sort of wording into the start of the weekend. Since the area
will be on the cold side of the storm the threat for thunder is
pretty minimal. This should keep precip amounts down with
generally no more than a few hundredths per hour. Have used a
blend of guidance for temps.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Upper level low will wobble across the eastern Great Lakes Saturday
through Monday. It does appear that we will have to keep a mention
of showers in the forecast through the long term but the chances
will decrease as we move into Monday. If there are any flooding
issues they would occur across the eastern half of the region on
Saturday.  Otherwise it is going to be much cooler than the last
couple weeks with highs 5 to 10 degrees below seasonal averages.
This would put the range in highs from the upper 40s to the upper
50s. We will have to monitor for some light frost through the long
term but the amount of cloud cover will have significant impacts on
this forecast.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z Tuesday THROUGH Saturday/...
Main concern today will be the gusty westerly winds that will
develop shortly after sunrise. Gusts through sunrise will reach
20 to 25 knots but quickly increase through the morning. Gusts
to 40 knots will be possible late morning through the afternoon.

There will be a few showers around as the jet energy crosses the
region today. Expect some MVFR ceilings with the showers
through at least early afternoon. The ceilings will then attempt
to lift through the afternoon with the deeper mixing. Ceilings
come back to MVFR levels as winds decrease this evening.

OUTLOOK...Non-VFR with cloud cover tonight into Wednesday
morning, especially east half of the area. Next storm system
approaches by Thursday with non-VFR likely in showers into the
weekend.

&&

.MARINE...
Southwest winds will increase today with 35 knot gales a definite
possibility. The strongest winds look to arrive on the western end
of the lake around 14z and the central and eastern half of the lake
after 17z. Will end the Gale from west (23Z) to east (03Z).

Will need to watch water levels on the western basin through the
afternoon. Current water level for safe shipping is around 20 inches
above zero chart datum. The forecast drops water levels to about 24
inches above zero chart datum. Since we are thinking a low end gale
at this point in time we will lean toward the slightly higher water
levels.

High pressure will briefly build across the lake late Tuesday night
into Wednesday. However the next storm system will be approaching
the lake from the southwest. This will increase the northeasterly
winds for a good chunk of Thursday into Friday. We will have to
watch for some high water issues if the longer northeasterly fetch
can really persist for more than 24 hours. More details on this
through the week.
