728 WWUS41 KCLE 232024 WSWCLE URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Cleveland OH 324 PM EST Sat Dec 23 2017 ...Snow to bring slick travel conditions to much of the area beginning Christmas Eve... .A weak trough cutting across the Great Lakes region will bring widespread snow to the area Christmas Eve into early Christmas Day. The initial band of snow will likely develop across northwest Ohio and orient northeastward along the Lake Erie shoreline into northwest Pennsylvania. There is still uncertainty in just how far inland this band will set up. As a surface low moves east of the area Sunday afternoon and evening, snow will fill in across the rest of the region. Lake-enhanced snow is expected across the Snowbelt Sunday night as northwest flow develops. There will be a sharp cut off in snowfall totals somewhere across the northern third of the CWA depending on where the initial band of snow develops early Sunday. Outside of the Snowbelt, areas along and north of this line will see a general 2 to 4 inches of snow with isolated totals to 5 inches. Within the Snowbelt expect 4 to 6 inches of snow with isolated higher totals across the higher terrain.

What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this winter weather advisory 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 winter weather advisory went out at Dec 23, 1:20 PM EST, 2 hours 4 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 23, 1:20 PM EST, 2 hours 4 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Cleveland OH 120 PM EST Sat Dec 23 2017 .SYNOPSIS... A front bisecting the area overnight will begin to move southeast this morning and allow for cooler air to move across the region. High pressure will briefly build across the area tonight but another system will track across the Ohio Valley/lower Great Lakes for Sunday/Sunday night. A trough will linger across the Great Lakes into mid week while high pressure builds across the lower Ohio Valley. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Various snow reports around the CWA this afternoon show that most areas have received a quick inch of snow with some spots in NW Ohio closer to the 2-3" mark. With this in mind, have bumped up snow accumulations for the remainder of this snow event to have the eastern 2/3rds of the CWA to get an additional inch of accumulation with some of the higher spots in NW PA to get closer to 1.5 to 2 inches of snow. Other than that, the back edge of the snow seems to just be getting to the Toledo area, and conditions should improve as we continue through the afternoon and evening. Previous discussion...Biggest change for today is to account for some accumulating snow for today. Another wave on the front is spreading a solid area of precipitation across the area early this morning. This is predominately rain to begin with and we still anticipate a change over to snow on the backside. Latest guidance suggests that across the western edge of this precipitation will be an area that will be cold enough to support a several hour period of decent snowfall. Establishing exact amounts even tricker considering that temperatures are running a few degrees warmer than they should have been and therefore will be marginal. A wet ground may also limit early accumulations. This will be a narrow area only a couple/few counties wide somewhere between Lorain and Toledo and down toward Findlay/Marion. Further northwest precipitation will be light enough to not be much of a concern and too far east it will be warm for a longer stretch of the precipitation. For now have gone with an inch to an inch and a half there with all others under an inch. Freezing temperatures do not reach the eastern half of the are until closer to nightfall. As of 3 am it was still 51 degrees at YNG in Trumbull Co. Precipitation will exit the west by early afternoon and the east by evening. Some flurries may linger across the snowbelt tonight, but subsidence in the wake of todays system and temperatures that are not quite cold enough for true lake effect will limit it. Lows tonight drop back into the 20s. && .SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... An energetic shortwave will round the base of the upper trough on Sunday with rapid cyclogenesis occurring along the east coast(near Boston) by Christmas morning. Although this will focus the stronger forcing well east of the area, the trough is sharp enough for deep layer frontogenesis to develop across northwest Ohio and shift east across the area Sunday afternoon into Sunday night. Models have also trended slightly westward and deeper with the east coast low and are now showing an inverted surface trough developing over the Appalachians and closing off as it moves north towards Buffalo, before transferring energy to the east coast. Snow is expected to develop across northwest Ohio by midday Sunday. A pocket of dry air to the east will delay precipitation across inland northeast Ohio for much of the day while the lift becomes focused across northern Ohio. Have slightly lowered accumulations for areas from Marion to Youngstown closer to an inch, with accumulation of 2-3 inches farther north and west. As the deeper moisture and lift decreases late Sunday night, low level lift ramps up along the northeast lakeshore. This will keep snow going longer in NE Ohio/NW PA, but best lift will become focused below the dendritic growth zone so only expecting another inch or two of enhancement. Interesting lake effect snow set up to follow as 00Z models runs have trended towards a longer period of westerly flow across Lake Erie from Christmas Day all the way into Wednesday. The westerly flow will favor the greatest accumulations closer to the lake. Models are showing some spread with regards to timing of an arctic front Monday afternoon and Monday night. The passage of the front will have implications for how the lake effect evolves and gets energized by an increase in moisture and instability. The moisture depth will eventually become increasingly shallow behind the arctic front which may be a limiting factor. This is not entirely clear though as we may have sufficient moisture feeding off Lake Michigan with the westerly flow to maintain healthy snow bands. Have increased snowfall totals for Christmas Day in northern Ashtabula/Erie PA Counties and will need to work on refining the snowfall forecast over the coming days if models maintain the favored fetch. In additions to the snow, Christmas Day will be brisk with wind gusts of 20-30 mph and wind chills in the single digits. Highs on Tuesday will not make it out of the teens and any areas that clear out Tuesday night could approach zero. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... Strong high pressure from the upper midwest will finally expand across the central and eastern Great Lakes Wednesday night and Thursday. The trough deepens to the west again on Thursday with low pressure tracking northeast through the Tennessee Valley. Will hold onto just a low chance of snow to end the week as the current track favors areas to the south and east. && .AVIATION /18Z Saturday THROUGH Thursday/... Widespread snowfall across the area has allowed for IFR/LIFR conditions for many of the terminals. Snow will continue across much of the area over the next couple hours, but will eventually clear out and move east by this evening. The back edge of the snow has already reached KTOL where the conditions have already improved to MVFR and some clearing in the clouds may even creep in to clear out the ceiling later this afternoon. Overall, will have IFR/LIFR for the next couple hours as the snow moves through the area. Conditions will improve to MVFR as the snow clears out and ceilings lift slightly. Western terminals at KTOL and KFDY could even see VFR as clouds are scattering out across NE Indiana and SE Michigan and may creep into NW Ohio. Winds will be out of the northwest for the first half of the TAF period but will shift around to the northeast on Sunday morning. The next system will then begin moving across the area Sunday afternoon and will have more snow and more non-VFR conditions. OUTLOOK...Non-VFR overspreading the terminals in light snow Sunday afternoon through Sunday night. Non-VFR lingers across northeast OH/northwest PA through Wednesday. && .MARINE... Northerly winds of 10-15 knots this morning will back to the northwest later today as low pressure over the Ohio Valley tracks northeast into New England. A ridge will build over the lake tonight but will be short lived as another area of low pressure tracks up the Appalachians into the eastern Great Lakes Sunday night. Northerly winds will develop again Sunday and increase to 15 to 25 knots as they shift to northwest with the passage of a cold front Sunday night. This area of low pressure will quickly shift to the east coast on Monday but a trough will remain across the Great Lakes region. An Arctic cold front will cross the lake Monday night and winds will reach 30 knots, with possibly a brief window of gales. Will keep the forecast at 30 knots for now and keep an eye on model trends. At a minimum, Small Craft Advisories will be needed late Sunday night into Tuesday on the eastern two thirds of the lake with a shorter window on the western basin. && .CLE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
