Area forecast discussion, Jun 6, 1:48 AM EDT, 1 hour 30 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
148 AM EDT Thu Jun 6 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure across the lower Great Lakes will track east
tonight forcing a trailing cold front southeast across the area.
High pressure will build in from the north for Thursday and
should continue to affect the area through Saturday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
Will be dropping more of the watch box across the north and east
shortly. Still a couple stronger storms across the southwest CWA
where there is a bit more cape. Otherwise made some minor
changes to cloud cover and POP's to reflect the latest trends.

Original...Severe thunderstorms watch is in effect for northern
Ohio through early evening. Thunderstorms continue to develop
across the region with the strongest storms across the
northwestern counties where CAPES are over 2000 j/kg. Storms
will move southeast out of the area this evening. Cold front
will move through late evening and early overnight. Will have
categorical pops through the early evening dropping to slight
chance/low chance after midnight for nwrn PA. Thursday and
Thursday night high pressure and dry air in place. Highs
Thursday 65 to 70 along the lake to upper 70s far south.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
High pressure will continue to influence the area from the
north into Saturday. Moisture will be increasing from the south
on Saturday however ahead of slow moving low pressure in the
MS/LA region. Models differ on the extent of the moisture but
for now will bring in just a slight chance of an afternoon
thunderstorm far southwest. Saturday night and Sunday models
keep the low stuck along the gulf coast while streaming deep
moisture north into the Ohio Valley. Will have chance pops far
southwest Saturday night and bring chance pops to all of the
area on Sunday. Highs roughly from the mid 70s far north to near
80 south.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
With deep moisture in place across the Ohio Valley will continue
with chance pops Sunday night and then boost to likely Monday as
a cold front moves through from the west. Will have a dry
forecast Tuesday through Wednesday with high pressure behind the
front. Highs Monday mid 70s, Tuesday mid 60s to lower 70s,
Wednesday low to mid 70s.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z Thursday THROUGH Monday/...
Expecting widespread IFR conditions primarily through cigs, but
also with areas of reduced vsbys. The cigs will likely be more
persistent. The low stratus will slowly break up late
morning/early afternoon with scattering/partial clearing by late
afternoon. High pressure will be centered to our north and winds
will be light/variable to light north through the period.

OUTLOOK...Non-VFR possible Sunday and Monday.

&&

.MARINE...
No marine headlines expected throughout the period with sub
small craft advisory conditions expected. Highest winds/waves
come late Saturday when easterly flow of 15 to 20 knots is
expected as high pressure passes to our north. This will bring
waves close to 3 to 4 feet in the western basin. In addition
water levels will likely rise to critical levels for flooding
and will have to be monitored.

&&

.CLE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
OH...None.
PA...None.
MARINE...None.
