What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this small craft 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 small craft advisory went out at Apr 15, 4:01 PM EDT, 26 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 15, 4:01 PM EDT, 26 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
401 PM EDT Sun Apr 15 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure across northwest Ohio will move northeast tonight
and take a cold front across the area. Locally heavy rainfall is
possible across eastern Ohio tonight. The low will linger across
the eastern Great Lakes into Tuesday and keep a trough across
the local area. The next system moves across the lower Great
Lakes mid week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
Have gone ahead with a flood watch across the extreme southeast
counties. Good conveyor of moisture focused right across the
Mahoning Valley while advancing cold/occluded front slows its
forward progress across eastern OH. Otherwise areas along/east
of I-71 will all have the potential for moderate to locally
heavy rainfall this evening with nuisance flood problems
possible. A handful of area river forecast points forecast to
exceed minor flood stage. Keep informed of the latest tonight.
Fortunately rainfall prior to 2 pm across eastern OH was much
lighter than earlier forecast so conditions going into this
evening are starting off in a good place.

Still looking at downslope wind potential across Erie PA for
this evening. Have forecast just under advisory criteria. The
window of opportunity is small and we do not have the optimal
mixing set up.

Temperatures have been slow to rise and the northeast wind has
been stubborn to budge. But as the low reaches the western basin
of the lake winds have begun to come around to the southeast
and temperatures have reached into the 50s with a few hitting
60. With the passage of the front, lows tonight are expected to
be from the upper 30s west to the lower 40s east. A few wet
snowflakes may try to mix in with any lingering showers toward
Monday morning.

Upper low overhead for Monday with isolated/scattered showers
still possible. Temperatures will hover in the upper 30s/close
to 40. Scattered snow showers will trend toward snow showers for
Monday night. Minor accumulations possible across the snowbelt.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
A trailing short wave is progged to drop through the trough on
Tuesday morning and lingering snow showers are likely,
especially in the snowbelt in the morning. Things should begin
to dry out from west to east Tuesday afternoon and night as
surface high pressure and subsidence builds in.

The low temperature forecast Tuesday night will depend on the amount
of clearing and whether we can get the wind to lighten up. The best
chance for this would be across NW and north central OH and will go
with the colder raw model guidance there for lows (25 to 30) with
lows closer to 30 elsewhere.

The GFS is still the fastest with the next system, a bowling ball
closed low from the midwest, but in general, the models are trending
slower with the system. Will back off just a bit on the warming on
Wednesday although we should at least lose some of the winter chill.
High clouds will increase from the west and we may still have
stratocumulus in the snowbelt, at least to start the day. I suspect
that the threat of showers will also be slower to arrive but will
continue to mention a small chance of showers everywhere given the
uncertainty on the track and timing.

There should be a better chance of precipitation Wednesday night and
Thursday and the forecast will have 40-70 pops. Will include a
mention of snow on Thursday where surface temps are in the lower 40s
or lower since there should be plenty of cold air aloft with the
upper low passing overhead.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
The extended forecast continues to be cool but dry. Both models
similar with high pressure building over the forecast area by
daybreak Friday. May be a few lingering flurries in the extreme
east, but no accumulating snow. Models continue in good
agreement into Saturday with large area of high pressure
tracking SE across the Great Lakes. This will produce dry
conditions with high temps in the 50s. Models diverge on Sunday.
GFS tracks low pressure across the Tennessee Valley on Sunday
while the ECMWF keeps low well to the west. GFS keeps bulk of
precip well south of the forecast area so went with slt chc pops
across the extreme southern tier on Sunday and the rest of the
area dry.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z Sunday THROUGH Friday/...
Highly variable conditions for the next 12 hours especially.
Surface low to track near/just east of Toledo with a slowly
advancing cold front/occluded front. A stiff northeast flow is
not giving up so easily, but winds will come around to the
southeast later this afternoon. Those southeast winds will be
gusty too and an added downslope component will add to the gusts
at ERI for a short while. A brief improvement to MVFR/limited
VFR possible this afternoon with that wind shift, but steadier
heavier rain will bring back the IFR area wide. There may be
some thunder near and ahead of cold front but if it does occur
it will be near and east of I-71. Winds will shift to the west
this evening in the wake of the cold front. Uncertain as to
timing of ceiling improvement Monday morning, but trend is for
it to improve relatively quickly.

OUTLOOK...Non-VFR conditions Monday continuing across far
northeast OH/nw PA through Tuesday. Non-VFR possible again
Thursday.

&&

.MARINE...
Winds will diminish from west to east this evening and early tonight
on Lake Erie as the pressure gradient between high pressure in
eastern Canada and low pressure over Ohio weakens. A cold front will
cross the lake and winds will shift from east to south and southwest
with the frontal passage. The high water conditions on western Lake
Erie will improve quickly late this afternoon and evening as water
levels drop with the wind shift. Gale warnings will expire.

Small craft advisories will be necessary as the southwest winds
increase quickly by Monday. Winds will veer northwest on Tuesday,
then relax for a short while as high pressure slides across the lake
Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. Winds will pick back up ahead
of the next low pressure system Wednesday afternoon into Thursday,
first from the east, then veering to the south and southwest as the
system crosses the lake Wednesday night. Small craft advisories will
likely be needed again.
