What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 28, 9:56 PM EDT, 4 hours 33 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 28, 9:56 PM EDT, 4 hours 33 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
956 PM EDT Fri Jun 28 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure over the mid Atlantic States will move southeast
overnight as a weak cold front slowly sags south across the
area Saturday afternoon. A secondary trough will drop south
across Lake Erie and the east portion of the region Saturday
night. High pressure will build south into the area Sunday
afternoon. A warm front will lift back north across the area on
Monday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
Showers and thunderstorms are dwindling as they move east at
this time. Cold front is still progged to move south across the
area Saturday afternoon. Can't rule out a stray shower or
thunderstorm overnight so will keep a minimal chance for
convection. Made adjustments for temperatures due to the cooling
as a result of the showers and storms in the east.

Previous Discussion...

Lake Erie lake breezes have become convectively active this
afternoon with the peak in diurnal heating. Some mid level dry
air is present so there is some potential for downburst
potential as has been recently indicated on the TLVE TDWR. This
activity will play out over the next couple of hours and
diminish diurnally. More convection may develop or move south
over Lake Erie towards northwest PA and far ne OH after
midnight.

On Saturday scattered convection will likely develop or continue
over the central portion of the forecast area from Sandusky to
Stark County will POP chances begin to drop over nw PA.
Scattered showers and storm will diminish Saturday evening as
drier air to the north filters into the region. We can expect
another very warm day on Saturday but should be a few degrees
cooler than today.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
Cold front should be south of the region Sunday morning but it will
lift back into the region as a warm front by Sunday night. So after
a dry Sunday it looks like isolated/scattered coverage of
thunderstorms returns Sunday night through Monday night. Outflow
boundaries and other mesoscale features will play a role.

It will be slightly warmer than average through the short term.
Humidity values will be elevated so heat index values will be
around 90 degrees for several inland locations.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
More of the same for the long term with isolated/scattered
thunderstorms possible each day. The region will remain humid with
mesoscale features (lake breeze, outflow, etc) inducing convection.
Temperatures will remain above seasonal averages.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z Saturday THROUGH Wednesday/...
Generally VFR conditions expected overnight but expecting cold
front to move south with a threat for showers and thunderstorms
tomorrow. Locally heavy rain possible with the thunderstorms
reducing visibilities briefly below MVFR along with lower
ceilings. Winds should remain light and variable overnight and
then increase during the day tomorrow.

OUTLOOK...Non-VFR possible with isolated to scattered
thunderstorms that develop Monday night into Tuesday.

&&

.MARINE...
A weak frontal boundary will be wobbling near Lake Erie through
Sunday night. No significant storm systems will move across the
region so winds should not exceed 15 knots at any time. Strongest
winds may be the onshore flow that develops in the nearshore waters
when the lake breeze develops.

&&

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