Area forecast discussion, May 29, 7:00 PM EDT, 5 hours 21 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Cleveland OH 700 PM EDT Mon May 29 2017 .SYNOPSIS... A weak cold front will push east across the area tonight. High pressure will briefly build into the region Tuesday before a weak trough of low pressure swings through the southern Great Lakes Tuesday night into Wednesday. A large area of high pressure will drift east across the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley Wednesday through Thursday night. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... Watching two areas of showers with isolated thunder. The first was across northwest Ohio ahead of the cold front. Made the showers "scattered" versus "chance" for northwest Ohio this evening. The other area of showers was across extreme northeast OH and northwest PA. These showers should shift east and diminish by 8 PM or so. Made a few other minor adjustments to the pop tonight based on the latest meso models to keep a chance/slight chance of showers a little longer across north central Ohio tonight. No other changes for the evening update. Original "Tonight" discussion... Isolated showers beginning to develop mainly east of the I-71 corridor this afternoon. Went ahead and upped pops to mid chance for a few hours late this afternoon. A few rumbles of thunder are possible, with around 500 j/kg of SBCAPE across the area. A cold front will push east across the area tonight. Hi- res guidance continues to indicate widely scattered precip ahead of the front, spreading east across the area through the night, with slight chance to low chance pops in general. Some thunder is possible through the evening but any thunder chances should diminish overnight as the atmosphere stabilizes. Mainly dry conditions are expected on Tuesday as high pressure briefly builds through the area. Another weak trough passage through the area Tuesday night prompts some slight chance pops across the area. No major changes to temperatures from previous forecast. && .SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... Upper level trough axis should be moving across the region on Wednesday with scattered showers/thunderstorms anticipated. High pressure then builds into the area Wednesday night with drier conditions returning. The high will move east of the region by Thursday night with increasing chances of showers as the next wave approaches in the NW flow. Wednesday will see temperatures slightly below seasonal averages but all locations return to average levels for Thursday. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... Scattered showers and thunderstorms will remain in the forecast on Friday as yet another wave moves through the upper level trough. These storms could be a bit stronger but that is something to watch over the next few days. Cold front should be moving into central Ohio on Saturday with any showers/thunderstorms moving south of the region by Saturday afternoon. Models differ on the timing of this system across the area so changes may occur over the next few shifts. High pressure should build back into the region Sunday into Monday with drier conditions anticipated. Temperatures will run within a few degrees of seasonal averages. && .AVIATION /18Z Monday THROUGH Saturday/... Cold front just NW of TOL will push across the forecast area tonight. Currently scattered showers with isolated tsra ahead of the front. The tsra will diminish after sunset. MFVR conditions in the heavier rain showers. OUTLOOK...Non-VFR at times Wednesday into Wednesday night. && .MARINE... Winds and waves should decrease overnight with waves running in the 1 to 3 foot range. Southwesterly winds will increase Tuesday night into Wednesday but we should not have any larger waves on the south shore of the lake. As a weak trough/front crosses the lake on Wednesday allowing winds to shift more to the west. This may build waves to near small craft advisory levels Wednesday into Wednesday evening. Winds decrease for Thursday as high pressure moves across southern Ohio. && .CLE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. PA...None. MARINE...None. && SYNOPSIS...Greenawalt/Kosarik NEAR TERM...Greenawalt/Kosarik SHORT TERM...Mullen LONG TERM...Mullen AVIATION...DJB MARINE...Greenawalt/Mullen
