Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
938 PM EST Tue Dec 10 2019
.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will briefly build northeast through the Ohio
valley across the area tonight. A cold front will push southeast
through the Great Lakes into the area on Wednesday. High
pressure will quickly return to the area, building east across
the region Wednesday night, becoming centered over the east
coast Thursday and Thursday night.

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
A little ripple is showing up in the radar imagery at this time
over the western half of Lake Erie. This ripple is the result of
a weak trough moving east across the area and will cause the
lake effect snow band to shift north over the next few hours.
Latest short term models suggest another band will develop along
the shore later this evening into the early morning and then the
whole thing will shift north of the area by morning. Looking at
total snow accumulations in the band of 4 to 6 inches. Some
locally higher amounts are possible. Will keep winter weather
advisory in effect where it is currently. Starting to see some
clearing pushing in from the west at this time and high clouds
will continue to push off to the east overnight and will see a
gradual reduction in cloud cover over the southern areas. Cold
air advection will take place overnight and with clearing will
see temperatures in the 20s for lows.
Previous Discussion...
A weakening surface trough over Lake Erie will attempt to push
southward into northern OH and northwest PA late this afternoon
into this evening, while pressure rises continue northeastward
through the Ohio Valley into the southern Great Lakes. A modest
band of snow has formed ahead of this trough over the lake, and
is expected to push onshore over the next several hours, perhaps
dropping a quick 1-3 inches of snow. Confidence is low on the
exact evolution of this snow and lake effect/lake enhancement
through tonight across the snow belt. Hi-res guidance continues
to depict the surface trough pushing southeast across the snow
belt and weakening, with secondary shoreline convergence setting
up northeast of Cleveland, which seems to be playing out with
latest radar trends. The models depict one or two lake bands
becoming dominant and pushing onshore across the snow belt, with
several models favoring a band into northern Geauga/Lake and
another into Erie PA.
The current evolution on radar is a bit off from the model
depictions spatially and timing wise, but generally on the right
track. It seems the potential for heaviest snowfall will occur
over the next 4-5 hours, with lingering synoptic forcing
coinciding with good moisture from 900-750mb. However,
dendritic growth will be minimal with the best lift centered
much lower in the cloud layer, and some fairly dry air in the
lowest 3kft. Instability parameters are marginal as well, with
lake induced inversion heights peaking around 8-8.5 kft. After
00Z, drier 925mb air will work south across the lake, which
could limit snowfall as well. Overall, kept the forecast fairly
similar to the previous, with accumulations centered a touch
farther north in the 2-4 inch range through tonight. Some higher
amounts up to 5 inches by tomorrow morning are possible in the
higher terrain of Erie PA. For now, with lower confidence in the
evolution of this snow, will not issue any headlines and will
monitor closely for the next several hours to see how the bands
are organizing.
Snow bands will diminish and push offshore around/after
midnight as boundary layer flow begins to back more southwest,
with continued drying of the cloud layer. By tomorrow morning,
the flow should keep any bands offshore into western NY through
at least midday. An upper vort max and accompanying surface
front will quickly drop southeast through the Great Lakes
Wednesday morning. This now appears to be a relative glancing
blow for the local area, but enough of a cold punch to
reactivate lake effect into the local area, mainly northwest PA.
A brief shot of 850mb moisture will follow this wave passage,
with winds veering a bit more northwest Wednesday night. Dry air
looks to quickly work back across the region, so the snow
potential should be limited temporally. Currently forecasting an
additional 1-3 inches, with the highest amounts in eastern Erie
PA. Snow will quickly diminish after midnight as high pressure
build across the region.
&&
.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
The short term begins Thursday with models showing broad high
pressure centered over Pennsylvania. To our west, low pressure
will be in western Iowa. This low will move northeast to the
central Great Lakes and dissipate by Friday morning lifting a
warm front northeast through the region as the high moves off
the New England coast. Another low will move into the Dakotas.
This low will move into the western lakes Friday into Saturday
as another disturbance generates a coastal low in New England
from the mid Atlantic coast. Moisture will return north into the
region Friday with return flow out of the southeastern states
with rain chances into mainly eastern Ohio and nwrn PA by Friday
afternoon. Moisture deepens from the south Friday night into
Saturday. Will have pops increase to likely for the eastern half
of the area Friday night and Saturday. Precip may mix with a
little snow late on Saturday far west but precip should be
mostly rain. Highs Thursday in the mid 30s. Highs Friday and
Saturday in the 40s.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
By Sunday, models show a dominant surface low over northern New
England tracking northeast into Canada. To our west, high pressure
will be moving east from Minnesota into Wisconsin. Between the two,
a cold front will be forced south through the area during the day
Sunday. Models begin to differ Sunday night with the ECMWF
continuing to bring cold air in the the region while the GFS begins
to warm advect. For now will side more with the ECMWF and continue
the threat of mainly lake induced precip nern OH and nwrn PA. The
ECMWF does eventually show this warm advection increasing into the
area Monday into Tuesday ahead of low pressure moving through the
mid Mississippi Valley into the lower Ohio Valley with moisture
increasing across the area out of the southeast. Will keep pops in
the chance category for now and go with mostly snow showers monday
and a mix Tuesday.
&&
.AVIATION /00Z Wednesday THROUGH Sunday/...
Lake effect snow band developed along the Lake Erie shorline
into Lake, Ashtabula and Erie counties. This band should persist
through much of the night with the heaviest snow through 1 AM in
the morning. Otherwise, generally VFR conditions expected over
the rest of the area overnight. Some light snow expected at
Akron-Canton and Youngstown tonight as well. Winds will be gusty
to 25 knots at times in the squalls near the lake but around 10
to 12 knots elsewhere. Expecting winds to increase again
tomorrow at 15 to 25 knots.
.OUTLOOK...Non-VFR possible through Thursday with snow showers
and low ceilings, especially in the northeast Snow Belt. Non-
VFR possible Friday night with rain/snow and Saturday with all
rain.
&&
.MARINE...
Winds increase by late morning across the east end of the lake
with low end gales likely into the afternoon. So with that said
we will go ahead and hoist the gale warning now from Conneaut
into the NY open waters. The warning will go from 9 am through
7 pm.
Previous Discussion...
Will extend the small craft advisory across the western half of Lake
Erie through 4am Thursday. Winds this afternoon have remained near
the 20 knot range on the western basin and are not expected to
decrease significantly overnight before possibly rising a few knots
on Wednesday. Would have needed on for Wednesday anyway so will just
leave headline up. Also, for now, will continue with the gale watch
as is and allow later shifts to get another model run in. At this
time, current guidance touches gale force for a few hours from about
noon through 22Z or so. For Wednesday night, winds will begin to
diminish as high pressure begins to build in from the west. The high
will cross the lake Wednesday evening causing winds to drop to under
10 knots by morning. The high will move to our east Thursday as low
pressure approaches the western lakes driving southerly flow at 10
to 15 knots. Southerly flow will increase to 10 to 20 knots Thursday
night into Friday as the pressure gradient tightens slightly. Winds
will remain fairly light through Saturday before increasing Saturday
night into Sunday from the west to 15 to 25 knots as deep low
pressure moves through New England and high pressure moves into the
western lakes.
