Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
932 AM EST Tue Mar 7 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will move east across the area this afternoon. A trough
of low pressure will move slowly east behind the cold front into the
local area tonight and Wednesday.  A weak ridge will build north
into the area from the Ohio valley Wednesday night and Thursday. A
weak area of low pressure will move east across the Ohio valley
Thursday night followed by a large ridge of high pressure extending
southeast through the western Great Lakes into the Carolinas by
Friday night.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
Limited changes were made with this mid morning update...but did
lower temperatures another degree or two. Still allow temps to
top 60...with some breaks in the showers. Tweaked wind gusts
for the reminder of today...bumping them up a bit. Could see 35
to 40 mph on and off going into the afternoon. Will be looking
more closely at winds for tomorrow. A wind advisory looks almost
certain...will fine tune numbers in a bit.

Previous Discussion...

A cold front is expected to move east across the forecast area
this afternoon. Models differ slightly in their timing of the
front as it approaches the region. Temperatures just ahead of
the cold front are in the middle and upper 60s at this time. Big
question is how warm will it get here in our area today. Warm
air advection will take place well ahead and and along the
leading edge of the cold front and potential exists to see high
temperatures in the middle 60s today in the west and lower to
middle 60s in the east. Models are also hinting at the fairly
tight radar gradient along the leading edge of the front will
become more diffuse with time as it approaches the region. More
showers will begin to develop well ahead of the frontal boundary
and this could help in suppressing the temperatures from
getting extremely warm today. Considering warmth ahead of the
front, will bump max temperatures up a few degrees for highs
today. Winds will be on the increase today in the warm sector to
15 to 25 knots. Due to the instability ahead of the cold front,
can't rule out a few thunderstorms today.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
Upper level ridging will begin to shift east in response to deep
upper level troughiness pushing east across the area.  This trough
will force a surface low pressure to move northeast into northern
Ontario Canada by tonight. After cold frontal passage takes place
today, surface troughiness will rotate into the forecast area
tonight. This will bring cyclonic flow into the region but will also
introduce a dry slot into the area as well.  This should bring an
end to the showers from west to east this evening into tonight.

Forecast area should remain dry through the day Wednesday but
gradient is expected to be a problem in producing some gusty winds
through the day in the west and along the lakeshore.  May need a
wind advisory for Wednesday due to the gusty winds.

An upper level shortwave trough and associated positive vorticity
maximum is expected to rotate east across the area Wednesday night.
This feature will bring a slight chance for rain and then snow
showers into the northeast portions of the area toward morning. Yet
another surface trough and upper level positive vorticity maximum is
expected to move east with a sufficient amount of moisture to
support showers across the area on Thursday and Thursday night
transitioning into snow showers by Friday in the east and then
northeast Friday night. Otherwise, snow tapers off over the western
and southern portions of the forecast area Friday.

Temperatures will gradually cool down from day to day as the cold
air advection behind the cold front is not expected to be all that
strong.  Eventually, as upper level trough really digs in over the
area, slightly colder air will arrive by the end of the period.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
The trend toward colder and drier conditions continues late in
the week. It looks as though the Saturday system may just brush
the southern part of the forecast area or perhaps pass to the
south. Will keep a small chance of snow/snow showers across the
southern half of the forecast area. Temperatures aloft will be
cold enough for lake effect. There should be a fair amount of
directional shear but with a light north wind Saturday and some
potential seeding from aloft, will have to mention at least a
chance of flurries or snow showers from around Sandusky east
across the snowbelt Saturday into Sunday. Temperatures will be
cold for the time of year with highs only in the 20s on
Saturday, then lower and mid 30s on Sunday.

Seeing a similar trend with the next system early next week, with
the models weaker and colder and farther south. Not much confidence
in the models or forecast at this time. We may sneak into some
warmer air for a while on Monday. Will continue with a chance of
rain and snow showers Monday and Monday night.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z Tuesday THROUGH Saturday/...
The organized line of showers and thunderstorms has become
disorganized during the predawn hours. Will not mention thunder
at any TAF forecast but of course there could be localized
thunder with the activity this morning and ahead of the front.
The front is still well to the west and will not arrive at KTOL
and KFDY until midday and the eastern TAF sites this afternoon.
Showers will continue until frontal passage. Ceilings will
come down to MVFR and some of guidance indicates IFR ceilings.
Will mention IFR ceilings at the higher terrain TAF sites KMFD
KCAK and KYNG. South winds will gust 30-40 knots this morning
and then again possibly with the actual frontal passage.
Ceilings should improve quickly behind the front and clearing
will develop with drier air and increasing subsidence.

OUTLOOK...Wind gusts as high as 40 knots on Wednesday. Non-VFR
developing again Thursday night continuing Friday. Non-VFR
possible Saturday especially NE OH and NW PA.

&&

.MARINE...
Winds will peak on Lake Erie this morning ahead of a cold front.
Gusts could briefly touch gale force but the average sustained wind
should stay in the 20 to 25 knot range. Winds will shift from south
to southwest with the frontal passage from late morning and
afternoon. Winds will begin to diminish after the frontal passage.
Wind speeds and waves will drop below small craft advisory criteria
for a while from late afternoon into tonight on the western basin
but will keep the small craft advisory in effect rather than have
two headlines separated by a matter of hours.

Winds will pick back up on Wednesday as the trough aloft moves
overhead while a deep surface low passes north of the Great Lakes
and a secondary cold font approaches. Winds at 850 mb are progged to
about 55 knots. The cold advection is rather weak but given the west
to southwest direction it seems inevitable that we can tickle the 35
knot wind criteria on the east half of the lake and will post a gale
watch on Wednesday into Wednesday evening. It is likely that a low
water advisory will be needed for the western basin on Wednesday.

Weak high pressure at the surface will build across the lower Great
Lakes by Thursday and a larger area of high pressure is progged to
build out of Canada late in the week. Winds will shift to more of a
north to northwest direction. Winds will pick up on the east half of
the lake on Friday but winds and waves may stay just below small
craft advisory criteria.
