Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
419 AM EDT Wed Apr 4 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
A strong cold front will move east of the area today. High
pressure will build east across the lower Great Lakes Thursday
and to the Mid Atlantic Coast by Friday morning. Low pressure
will move east across the lower Great Lakes Friday forcing a
weak cold front across the local area. A ridge of high pressure
will build east across the region Saturday followed by high
pressure Sunday into Sunday night.
&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
A strong cold front will continue to push east out of the area
this morning. The front will take the showers with it and allow
much colder air to push east across the forecast area today. On
the west side of the low pressure system, cyclonic flow
around the low will bring a return flow of moisture and a few
sprinkles or flurries this morning. This wrap around moisture
will lift out to the northeast this afternoon and linger over
the east during the afternoon into tonight. Lake effect snow
showers will develop over the northeast snowbelt and produce
some accumulating snow. Snow accumulations of 1 to 3 inches is
expected but some localized higher amounts are possible if a
band persists over one area. Flow is expected to be more
northwest compared to yesterday and this will setup multibands
rather than the ideal convergence zone from west to east early
in the night. The flow does become more westerly toward morning
and attempt to setup a singular band. Lake induced instability
still looks Conditional with inversion pushing up to around 8000
feet at times. Very little shear expected into Thursday morning.

The rest of the forecast area should begin to dry out this
afternoon into tonight. A vigorous upper level vorticity maximum
will push southeast toward the area with associated moisture.
This feature will spread a chance for some rain/snow across the
area Thursday. QPF with this feature is expected to be fairly
light.

Temperatures will be much colder through this forecast period
as cold air advection takes place. 850 MB temperatures are
already plummeting behind the surface cold front at this time.

We have the initial wind gusts racing across the forecast area early
this morning with the cold front, then an impressive pressure
fall/rise couplet is progged to cross the area today from west to
east. Rarely do you see this strong of pressure rises occur
simultaneously with strong winter like cold advection, more like a
November/December system. The mixed layer is progged to increase to
5-7k by this afternoon but winds aloft will begin to decrease by
that time except across extreme northeast OH and northwest PA. Will
issue a wind advisory for all areas today for gusts over 40 knots/46
mph and issue a wind warning for the lakeshore of extreme northeast
OH and Erie County in northwest PA where some gusts will likely
exceed 50 knots/58 mph.

Winds should diminish pretty quickly from west to east late this
afternoon and evening especially as the sun begins to go down and
the mixed layer diminishes. Will leave a little room for error on
the wind advisories/warnings at the end of the day. If all goes as
planned they may be able to be cancelled a couple of hours early.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
Upper level shortwave and associated positive vorticity maximum
will rotate quickly through the mean flow across the forecast
area and bring a shot of moisture with it. A threat for a mix of
rain/snow will spread across the area Thursday and continue into
Thursday night. Most of the moisture is expected to push east of
the area Friday afternoon. There are major differences in the
European and GFS model solutions for Friday. GFS is the wettest
and European is the driest. The consensus is to lean in the
direction of the European model and a drier solution Friday.

High pressure ridge aloft and surface high pressure build east
across the forecast area Saturday and Saturday night. This
feature will bring a return to fair weather across the entire
forecast area.

Some warmer air will return Friday along with high sun angle
helping to heat things up a tad. This should help boost
temperatures back into the lower to middle 40s across the area
after overnight lows in the lower to middle 30s Thursday night.
Northwest flow and cold air return Friday night ahead of the
surface high pressure. The high will pump more cold air into the
region from the north. The cold air advection until the high
settles in over the forecast area will continue Saturday and
Saturday night. A blend of guidance temperatures supports this
cold air pattern so will lean in that direction.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
No major changes in the overall upper level pattern expected
during the extended periods. A fast moving upper level jet
stream will continue to push shortwave after shortwave into the
local area early in the period. There will be some major
amplification of the upper level ridge in the western United
States by Tuesday morning that will help to deepen a trough in
the eastern part of the country. Unfortunately, this means more
of the same with deepening surface low pressure system over the
lower Great Lakes. The only difference here is the deeper
digging upper level trough will cause cyclogenesis to occur
along the Atlantic coast and this will aid in pulling the
surface low east of the area. The low will become absorbed with
the coastal low by mid week. Another surge of cold air will
return into the forecast area in the wake of the low pressure
system on Tuesday. This storm system will bring moisture with it
and of course a mix of rain/snow once again. Little change to
current forecast temperatures as they look reasonable.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z Wednesday THROUGH Sunday/...
Cold front continues to move east across Ohio at this time and
will continue to move across eastern Ohio and northwest
Pennsylvania over the next few hours. Still some showers and a
couple thunderstorms ahead of the front and will affect Akron-
Canton, Youngstown and mainly showers at Erie. Once front moves
east of the area, winds will continue to increase and remain
gusty through the day and then begin to diminish this evening.
Ceilings will likely be a problem for a period of time this
morning into early afternoon with some improvement in the
northwest and perhaps at Cleveland by the end of the TAF period.

.Outlook...Non-VFR possible Thursday night through Friday night.

&&

.MARINE...
Deepening low pressure will continue to track across southern
Ontario into Quebec today, a favorable path for strong winds on Lake
Erie. Will expand the gale warning to the western basin and upgrade
the eastern half of the lake to a storm warning. Winds aloft are
expected to be 50-60 knots and those winds could mix down to the
surface as strong pressure rises are coupled with strong cold
advection today and a favorable southwest direction exists into
mid/late afternoon. Once the wind begins to veer westerly and the
strongest pressure rises begin to shift east, winds will diminish on
Lake Erie from west to east from mid afternoon into the evening.

High pressure will track quickly across the Ohio valley on Thursday
and winds will back to the southwest and south but not for long.
Another strong cold front will drop across the lake on Friday and
small craft advisories will likely be needed as winds become WNW.
Winds should begin to decrease on Saturday and high pressure is
expected to be overhead on Sunday. Winds will become southeast on
Monday ahead of the next strong storm system.
