Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
339 PM EST Thu Mar 9 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
A weak wave of low pressure will move east along a cold front
drifting south across the area tonight with another reinforcing cold
front moving southeast through the region Friday. High pressure will
spread southeast into Ohio on the weekend then weaken while a low
moves up the Ohio valley Monday night and Tuesday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
A s/w digging se into the area tonight will slow a cold front
dropping south across the cwa by causing a wave of low pressure to
develop along the front as it moves near the Ohio river. Upper level
jet energy will help to cause a band of mixed rain and snow to
continue to develop over the northern counties that slowly drops sse
thru the cwa during the night while changing to just snow by around
midnight in the far south. By the end of the night...lake effect
conditions will be becoming somewhat favorable so some light lake
effect snow showers should begin to get going in the snowbelt.
Accumulation for the night should range from a half an inch or less
in the west to 2 to maybe up to 4 inches locally for the inland east.

The cold front passing south of the area will produce colder lows
tonight that should get into a 24 to 27 range for most of the cwa.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
The lobe of the polar vortex will tend to hang over eastern Canada
Friday through the weekend allowing arctic air to spread over the
area Fri into Sat and remain in place Sunday. This will set up
favorable conditions for lake effect snow showers to occur into
Sunday which should diminish by Sunday night as surface high
pressure spreads se into the area. The lake effect accumulation
appears to be on the lighter side with most 12 hour periods seeing 2
inches or less with the better accumulation looking more likely
later Fri into Sat morning.

By the end of Sun night, enough moisture from the next system
developing to the sw could spread into the west for light snow to
try and develop.

Highs on Friday mostly in the upper 20s to lower 30s will only be in
the 20s on Sat and Sun with lows well down in the teens with maybe
some single digit readings for the normally colder inland locations
where snow cover will exist.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
It will take us some time to shake the west coast ridge/eastern U.S.
trough and the cooler/below normal temperatures across the region.
Monday night's low will track across the Ohio Valley, but there
still is low confidence in its exact track.  Will continue the
likely precip chances for snow starting late Monday afternoon across
the west and spreading eastward Monday night. The ECMWF has come in
with a more northern track while the GFSENS still has a more
southern track. Have gone that route with temperatures, precip
timing and wind forecast.  Differences persist going into mid week.
There are differences in how fast we can get ridging into the area
and that will effect how long lake effect could linger.  This
airmass is definitely cold enough. After high temperatures only
close to upper 20/lower 30s for the first part of the week, it is
possible by Thursday we may recover closer to seasonal averages.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z Thursday THROUGH Tuesday/...
A weak and relatively quick moving system will cross southern
Ohio this evening with an expanding precipitation shield to its
north across the terminals. Current radar returns not reaching
the ground, but eventually, toward evening it will begin to
precipitate. Have pushed back the time the precip starts in this
round of TAFs. This puts the precip type as predominately light
snow. If precip starts earlier, it could be a mix. For the sake
of aviation, ceilings/visibility lower with the onset of snow
and expecting a several hour period of low end MVFR to IFR.
TOL and possibly ERI will be in the fringes of the better snow
as the trend has been a little further south. Best
accumulations would be MFD/CAK/YNG/CLE. Western terminals have a
chance of improving back to VFR ceilings for Friday with high
pressure centered just to the west. For the rest of the sites
expect persistence of MVFR ceilings. Late in the TAF period lake
effect snow showers will begin to enter the picture for ERI.
Winds will increase from the north-northwest this evening and we
will have minor gusts on Friday.

OUTLOOK...Non-VFR possible Saturday/Sunday especially across
northeast OH and northwest PA. Area wide non-VFR Monday into
Tuesday.

&&

.MARINE...
Weak system slides east across the Ohio Valley tonight, but it will
be the gradient between the strong high building eastward from the
northern Plains and Western Great Lakes and the departing low that
will increase northwest winds on the lake.  Have gone ahead and
issued a small craft advisory for Friday through Saturday.  It is
not until Sunday that the high can ease overhead enough to allow
winds/waves to diminish. The next system to cross the Ohio Valley
Monday night will draw winds around to the northeast on the lake.
Speeds may increase enough to need another small craft advisory, but
there is low confidence in the track of the low.  The track will
impact the wind speeds.

&&

OH...None.
PA...None.
