Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
320 PM EDT Mon Aug 5 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
Lake breeze will generate thunderstorms late this afternoon
into the evening. Weak low pressure and its trough will move
south across the area Tuesday. A stronger cold front will move
southeast across the area Thursday. High pressure will build
southeastward across the western Great Lakes over the weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
The hills across the region have initiated the first convection
southwest of Marion and in Ashland and Mahoning counties.
Expect the trend of isolated convection near the terrain to
continue into the evening. The lake breeze has also become
active with the best chances of thunderstorms over Geauga,
Portage and Ashtabula counties. Elsewhere along the boundary
isolated convection is possible. Expect to see a couple stronger
storms develop along the lake breeze late this afternoon with
any outflow likely assisting in new development through sunset
as it all drifts to the east southeast.

All should decrease in coverage shortly after sunset and then
our attention will shift to the approaching upper level trough
and its associated pre-frontal trough. This trough axis along
with any left over convective boundaries moving into the area
from the central Great Lakes will generate thunderstorms on
Tuesday. There may also be some impact of increased convergence
along a lake boundary east of Cleveland into NW PA. This
convergence may generate thunderstorms very close to the lake
shore before drifting inland during the afternoon. The upper
level trough will then keep things going into Tuesday night
with the coverage only slightly decreasing Tuesday night.

Guidance continues to go too cool across the region and have
gone above it for highs this afternoon and again on Tuesday.
Highs will be in the 80s on Tuesday. Lows tonight and Tuesday
night will be in the 60s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
An upper level ridge will continue to be located over the
southwestern U.S. and a trough across the eastern U.S. during
the mid week time frame. A shortwave in the mid level flow will
be moving across the eastern Great Lakes on Wednesday as well as
a weak frontal boundary. Scattered showers and thunderstorms
will be likely on Wednesday. Instability and shear will be very
limited, but can't rule out an isolated strong storm. But, we
will mainly see just general thunderstorms with locally heavy
downpours and occasional lightning.

We will see a brief break in rain chances Wednesday night into early
on Thursday while we are in between systems. A slightly stronger
shortwave will round the base of the upper level trough over the
Great Lakes region late on Thursday. We will see a strong cold front
move through Thursday afternoon and evening with another round of
showers and thunderstorms.

The region will be in a deeper northwest flow by Friday with a
Canadian high building in across the Upper Midwest. Drier and
slightly cooler air will be moving in for the end of the week. Due
to colder air aloft because of the upper level trough overhead, the
only areas we will have to watch is downwind of Lake Erie across the
primary Snowbelt region for scattered lake clouds and a slight
chance for a few lake effect rain showers for the end of the week.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
High pressure will be in control of the weather for Saturday. We
still may see a slight chance for a few lake effect rain showers
downwind of the lake in the Snowbelt regions as well as some lake
effect clouds.  Another weak frontal may try to move into the region
late Sunday. Temperatures will be comfortable and just a touch below
average for this time of year through the weekend.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z Monday THROUGH Saturday/...
Thunderstorms will continue to develop over the higher terrain
and along a lake breeze boundary this afternoon into the
evening. VFR conditions are expected away from the thunderstorms
with scattered to broken ceilings around 5000 feet. Near and
under the thunderstorms MVFR conditions are expected with brief
IFR possible. Current thinking is that KCAK and KYNG may be the
only places that need a couple hour window of thunder in the
TAF. Will cover KCLE and KMFD with a vicinity thunder mention
for a couple hours as well.

The convection will end shortly after sunset as we await the
outflow from thunderstorms over the central Great Lakes
overnight. These likely will not arrive until early Tuesday
morning then be enhanced by a surface trough late Tuesday
morning into the afternoon.

Winds will be southwest at most locations through the TAF
period at 10 knots or less. However KCLE and KERI will be
impacted by a lake breeze with northerly winds into the evening.
Winds at these two locations will shift back to the south and
southwest for the overnight hours.

OUTLOOK...Non-VFR possible Tuesday afternoon through Thursday
morning in showers and thunderstorms.

&&

.MARINE...
Lake breezes this afternoon will become more southwesterly late this
evening and overnight 5 to 10 knots ahead of an advancing cold
front. Southwest winds will increase 10 to 15 knots on Tuesday and
Tuesday night. Winds will become somewhat variable on Wednesday with
a weak front over the lake.  Winds will become more westerly by
Thursday morning 10 to 15 knots. A stronger cold front will move
through on Thursday with west to west-northwest winds increasing 10
to 20 knots. We will have to watch for higher waves along the
lakeshore as well close to Small Craft Advisory Thursday. High
pressure builds in for the end of the week with light northerly
winds 5 to 10 knots. Colder air aloft may trigger some lake effect
showers across portions of the lake for the end of the week. There
may be an isolated waterspout or two given the upper level
setup. This will be something to watch later this week.
