BMWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Cleveland, OH wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at May 4, 10:55 AM EDT, 33 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 4, 10:55 AM EDT, 33 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Cleveland OH Issued by National Weather Service BUFFALO NY 1055 AM EDT Thu May 4 2017 .SYNOPSIS... Low pressure over the Mid-Mississippi Valley will slowly move to the Ohio Valley by Friday, then continue to near Lake Ontario on Saturday. A very moist airmass will overspread the area during this time bringing a prolonged period of rain. Another upper level trough will slide southeast out of Canada and merge with this system over the Upper Great Lakes over the weekend. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... Low pressure is centered over western Tennessee late this morning with a warm front extending east across Kentucky. North of this front an inverted trough extends across central OH into NW Pennsylvania. Regional radar imagery shows a broad area of light to moderate rain lifting north of the low across most of western OH with an eastward extending band of rain associated with warm advection and along the nose of a low level jet. This band of rain is lifting across northeast OH into western PA. More scattered activity is located across SE OH. A Flood Watch remains in effect for northwest Ohio through Friday with fairly steady moderate rainfall. The widespread rainfall is also associated with a deep plume of moisture seen on water vapor imagery ahead of the advancing upper level trough axis. Precipitable water values will increase to near 1.20 inches. A nearly 15 degree spread in temperatures is expected this afternoon as southeasterly flow behind the lifting warm front pushes north towards the lake in central and eastern portions of the area. Meanwhile a cool northeasterly flow will remain off Lake Erie towards Toledo with steady rain keeping temperatures in the upper 40s. This warm frontal boundary will serve as the focus for the heaviest rain continuing into tonight. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... Not many changes as this event continue to unfold. Period of heaviest rain is expected tonight as the upper level and surface low curl northeast towards the Ohio Valley. Deep moisture will continue to surge north ahead of the trough with forcing focused along the low level frontal boundary draped across northwest Ohio. Many models are indicating a period of enhanced rainfall occurring late tonight into Friday morning as upper level jet dynamics are focused overhead. This larger scale forcing will align with the low level frontal boundary to lead to enhanced rainfall rates. Model QPF in the watch area generally range from 2 to 3 inches with the highest amounts focused towards Toledo. Rises on rivers are expected and several are forecast to reach flood stage. Of particular concern are the Maumee, Blanchard, and the Scioto River at Larue. Exact flood stages will depend on how much rain ends up falling but Moderate flooding is possible and may get close to Major flooding if rainfall in the basin gets close to 2.75". Soil moisture is elevated and expect to see other low lying and poor drainage areas also experience flooding. On Friday we will need to expand our attention eastward as models show some weak instability developing across eastern Ohio ahead of the low. Several of the higher resolution models are trying to develop some convection across central and northeast Ohio and have added a chance of thunderstorms to the forecast. This rainfall is expected to very efficient with slow storm motion. It is possible that this activity remains just south of our counties but will need to be monitored. Northeast Ohio has also received several rounds of rain over the last week and the flood watch may need to be expanded to eastern areas on Friday. Rivers will see rises in the east and could also experience flooding problems. Meanwhile the heaviest rain will begin to taper off in northwest Ohio by Friday afternoon. Upper level trough shifts just east of the area by Saturday morning shifting the deep moisture axis into Pennsylvania. Models in good agreement showing another wave sliding into the back side of the trough on Saturday and enhancing showers across central and eastern areas as the upper low retrogrades westward Thermal profiles will support some enhancement off Lake Erie by Saturday afternoon and night as lake to 850mb delta increases to 13C. We will have to keep an eye out for any bands that develop which could contribute to additional flooding problems on already saturated soils. Eastern areas can expect much cooler temperatures by Saturday with cold advection, clouds, and showers around. The boundary layer may even be cool enough over inland northwest PA by Saturday night for precip to mix with snow. Moisture finally exits to the east by Sunday afternoon with showers tapering off. Patchy frost will be possible by Sunday night with high pressure building in behind the departing system. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... Massive upper level low pressure system will move ever so slowly east northeast during the extended periods and then split off into two lows that may wind up pin wheeling around each other for some time. This means a short dry period developing on Monday followed by more moisture advecting into the forecast area for the rest of the extended forecast period. There will wind up being an on and off again chance for some rain. 850 MB temperatures drop to around -6C by Monday morning before mid level warm air advection begins to take place. Temperatures in the east will be quite nippy with highs on Monday only in the middle 40s. Meanwhile, highs in the west will be in the middle 50s Monday. We should see a slow warmup through the forecast period with highs climbing back into the middle to upper 60s in the extreme south an lower to middle 50s north by Thursday. Lows could be troublesome Tuesday morning with possible freeze/frost issues...especially in the east. && .AVIATION /12Z Thursday THROUGH Monday/... Rain has moved into the area this morning ahead of Low pressure over the mid-Mississippi River Valley moving slowly northeast over the next couple days. The storm system has started to bring with it lowering ceilings and visibilities which KTOL has already reached MVFR at 14z. These lower cigs will continue during much of the TAF period with some IFR expected. The heaviest rain is expected across western TAF sites of TOL and FDY with MFD also included with will bring IFR. Lowest rainfall is expected over the eastern half of Ohio and northwest Pennsylvania were brief IFR or mainly MVFR is more likely. Winds will gradually increase to between 15 and 25 knots from the East Southeast. OUTLOOK...Non-VFR likely through Saturday night. && .MARINE... As low pressure moves northeast toward the area, northeast flow will continue on the lake persisting into Friday. The winds will gradually increase and become northerly by Friday night and northwest by Saturday morning. Small craft advisories may be needed later this afternoon in the west and over the rest of the lake tonight and they will likely continue through Sunday. Winds will finally diminish Sunday night from the northwest and continue Monday. && .CLE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. PA...None.
