What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this flash flood watch 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 flash flood watch went out at Jun 19, 1:16 AM EDT, 1 hour 36 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 19, 1:16 AM EDT, 1 hour 36 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Cleveland OH 116 AM EDT Wed Jun 19 2019 ...06z Aviation Forecast Update... .SYNOPSIS... A stationary front continues to persist across the local area. A low pressure system is expected to move northeast along the front to northern Ohio by Thursday morning. The low will move off to the east Thursday night allowing high pressure to build east over the region Friday. A strong warm front will lift north across the area Sunday. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/... Made more minor adjustments to the forecast over the next few hours. Precip activity is quickly diminishing across the southern part of the area, with a few slow moving showers in Knox and Holmes counties, although rainfall rates are modest at best. Have let the flash flood watch expire this evening with activity expected to keep diminishing through the rest of the night. Some patchy dense fog still anticipated across the southeast part of the area, especially where the heaviest rain fell over the last few nights. Original discussion... A stagnant weather pattern continues this afternoon as a stationary front remains across the southern portions of the forecast area. As expected, more convection developed this afternoon along the front. This activity is expected to continue through the early evening and then dissipate. Due to the threat for more rain and potential runoff, will extend the flash flood watch for this event out until 9 PM this evening. This should hopefully be it and the forecast area can expect a brief period of calm overnight into tomorrow morning. Unfortunately, another trough of low pressure in the upper levels will begin to move east toward the area. This feature will deepen enough for an upper level low pressure to develop over the forecast area by Thursday. Low pressure associated with the upper level trough and low will move northeast toward the area and be centered over northern Ohio by Thursday morning. Copious amounts of moisture will be present with this system setting the stage for the possibility for more flooding rain. Due to the current flash flood watch being in effect, will hold off on issuing a new watch until the current one ends. Keep in mind that another flash flood or flood watch may be issued in the next day. Rainfall amounts will gradually increase through the afternoon Wednesday into Wednesday night from southwest to northeast. There is a slight risk for excessive rainfall across the forecast area Wednesday night into Thursday across the entire forecast area. So, stay tuned. Low temperatures tonight will be in the upper 50s north to lower to middle 60s south of the stationary front. Then, tomorrow night we should see temperatures in the lower 60s north to middle 60s south. && .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/... Concerns for flooding will continue in the short term. Low pressure will be over Northwest Ohio at 12Z Thursday with a warm front extending east northeast along the lakeshore. Areas south of the warm front in Northeast Ohio may see some breaks in the precipitation to start the day but these are expected to fill in quickly as the low continues east through the day. The morning timing of the system combined with abundant cloud cover will be a limiting factor for instability on Thursday. There are always concerns with shear along warm front and that will be monitored but the Storm Prediction Center only has a marginal risk of severe thunderstorms southeast of an Akron to Meadville line which seems fair. Rain will be the main issue with this system with highest amounts focused along the warm frontal boundary where training will be most likely. The forecast calls for 1.25 to 1.75 inch of qpf area wide with the greatest amounts focused on the back side of the low in NW Ohio and along the warm front in NE Ohio. Areas that have received heavy rain over the last several days will be susceptible to additional rises on rivers and flash flooding. High water also expected along the Lake Erie Shorline from Maumee Bay to Vermilion given increased flow of 10-20 mph on Lake Erie. This should be short lived given the shifting flow but a brief window of flooding is possible. Lowered highs on Thursday given the earlier timing of the rain to the low 70s. Conditions should dry out quickly Thursday night with high pressure building in for Friday. We will see chances of precipitation sneak in from the west Friday night into Saturday as moisture streams around the building ridge. Gradual warming expected over the weekend with temperatures near normal on Saturday. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... Ridge continues to amplify over the weekend. Warm front tries to lift north Saturday night into Sunday and expect sufficient moisture for scattered showers and thunderstorms. Warm air aloft may be a limiting factor by later in the weekend for vigorous convection but showers with scattered thunderstorms possible. Coverage of precipitation will peak on Monday as low pressure moves through the Central Great Lakes then drying out on Tuesday. && .AVIATION /06Z Wednesday THROUGH Sunday/... The main aviation concerns for this update will be IFR conditions developing from near the Mansfield area to the Akron/Canton area and up towards Youngstown area. Most locations across northwest Ohio into northwest Pennsylvania and near the lakeshore are seeing VFR conditions tonight through the next 24 to 30 hours. There is a stalled front across central Ohio and areas closer to that boundary are seeing MVFR ceilings which will decrease to IFR and lower visibilities as well. There may be some patchy dense fog closer to CAK as well. Expect the lowest ceilings and vis closer to central Ohio through mid morning with improvements to VFR by late morning or midday. Rain showers will return back into the TAFs late Wednesday evening and overnight through Thursday morning. Scattered stronger convection could develop but do not have that potential mentioned in the TAFS at this time. Winds will be mostly light and variable over the next 24 hours. OUTLOOK...Non-VFR possible through Thursday night and again Saturday and Sunday. && .MARINE... Winds on Lake Erie remain light through Wednesday as a stalled frontal boundary remains south of the Lake. On Wednesday night, low pressure will approach from the west and we will see northeast winds increase to 10-20 knots for a brief time. This will cause both rises in water levels on the western basin and choppy conditions on the lake. The exact track of the low will play a role in if we end up needing a Small Craft Advisory/High Swimming Risk/Lakeshore Flood Warning. Suspect we will stay below Small Craft conditions but will see minor lakeshore flooding on the western basin of Lake Erie. && .CLE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. PA...None.
