Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
342 PM EDT Wed Apr 19 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will stall near Lake Erie tonight then a low will move
northeast along the front near the eastern lakes Thursday night into
Friday pulling the front southeast of the area. Another low will
move up the Ohio valley on the weekend then high pressure will
spread southeast into the region Monday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
A cold front sagging sse into the cwa will be the focus for shra and
tsra to develop and work ese across the area tonight. There is a
marginal risk that some of the storms could be severe and rainfall
will be locally heavy. Recently drier conditions should act to limit
the flooding potential.

Lows tonight will range from around 50 near the lakeshore to around
60 in the south.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
A slow moving upper trough over the northern plains will shift east
across the lakes thru fri inducing a surface low to move along the
frontal boundary. The front should lift back north of Lake Erie thu
then a cold front will be pulled se thru the area thu night and fri.
The approaching front late thu should lead to the most unstable
airmass and best dynamics leading to the best severe threat thu into
thu night. Damaging winds and large hail will be the main severe
threat with a lesser threat for tornadoes. Locally heavy rain will
likely occur and could lead to some localized flood issues but most
of the storms will be fast moving which should help to limit the
flood threat.

The passage of the cold front thu night will end the severe threat
along with tapering the rain threat to just a slight chc for shra in
the far eat by daybreak fri. After highs mostly in the 70s on thu
the cooler air spreading in behind the front will lead to highs fri
in the 50s to lower 60s, then lows fri night in the upper 30s to
lower 40s and by Sat highs should only be mainly in a 50 to 55 range.

A system moving up the oh valley will probably spread some shra back
north into the cwa sat and sat night but its possible the shra may
not make it as far north as Lake Erie.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
The extended forecast continues to look fairly quiet. The extended
guidance is in good agreement on a low pressure system exiting the
Tennessee Valley by Sunday morning giving way to Canadian high
pressure by Sunday night. This incoming high should both clear out
any precipitation but also cool down the area for Sunday night into
Monday with northerly flow dominant over the area. This high will
slide east on Monday and southerly flow on the back side will allow
for temperatures to recover. Meanwhile, a low pressure system will
move through the northern lakes on Tuesday night into Wednesday.
This low will attempt to extend a cold front across the area on
Wednesday, but this front may just remain off to the north, so have
left off any precipitation chances in the forecast. Wednesday looks
warmer than Tuesday with the area remaining on the warm sector side
of the low, but went with a conservative blend to start for now.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z Wednesday THROUGH Monday/...
Lower ceilings are scattering out from west to east across the
CWA with the only residual MVFR ceilings remaining at KCAK and
KYNG. These lowered ceilings should scatter out at those 2
terminals by 21z. A cold front over lower Michigan is moving
southward and will bring the chance for showers and
thunderstorms this afternoon. Timing for the rain/thunder
chances will be between 21z and 04z expanding from the northwest
to the southeast. Non-VFR ceilings and visibilities are likely
with any heavier rain and thunder this afternoon and evening.
Rain will likely linger over the southern terminals as the cold
front stalls, but there will be a break in precipitation on
Thursday morning before another round of storms is expected on
Thursday afternoon and evening. Winds throughout the period are
a bit difficult. The cold front approaching from the north is
expected to stall over the area and depending on where the front
stalls will determine if the winds shift around to the north or
east tonight. For now, have put wind shifts at KTOL, KFDY, KCLE,
and KERI, but adjustments may need to be made if the front
slides further south.

OUTLOOK...Non-VFR Thu afternoon into Thu night in scattered
showers and thunderstorms. Non-VFR possible Sat into Sun.

&&

.MARINE...
A cold front is approaching Lake Erie this afternoon and will stall
over northern Ohio later tonight. Flow ahead of this front will be
from the southwest with the flow becoming variable with the frontal
passage. Showers and thunderstorms are likely this afternoon and
evening with the approaching front and stronger gusts and waves are
possible with any convection on the lake. This front will re-emerge
north as a warm front on Thursday and stronger southwesterly flow
will return on Thursday afternoon, gusts to 25 knots are possible
but thinking that winds will remain below SCA criteria. Low pressure
over the northern lakes will extend a cold front across the lake
early Friday morning abruptly shifting the winds to the
west/northwest at 15 to 20 knots. A small craft advisory may be
needed for Friday with the northwest flow behind the front. Winds
will veer around to the north and then northeast on Saturday ahead
of a low moving through the Tennessee River Valley before high
pressure moves back in on Sunday.
