Area forecast discussion, Jul 2, 7:18 PM EDT, 3 hours 4 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Cleveland OH 718 PM EDT Tue Jul 2 2019 ...00z Aviation Forecast Update... .SYNOPSIS... A stationary front will linger near Lake Erie through Thursday as high pressure remains centered over the upper Ohio valley. The high will move to the Mid Atlantic coast by Friday, as a cold front moves southeast through the Great Lakes and into the Ohio valley by Saturday. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... Severe storms were a little more rowdy and out of control this afternoon thanks to an inverted upper air sounding profile which was primed for damaging downburst winds. This convection is slowly decreasing this evening but will remain scattered showers and storms through at least sunset or 03z or so. No other changes were made to the ongoing forecast. Previous discussion... Scattered convection will continue across the area this afternoon into the evening hours. Coverage should peak early this evening before a brief lull around 00Z. Hi-res guidance continues to indicated additional convection developing upstream or over the area after 00Z, moving south across the area through the early overnight hours. Severe thunderstorms potential should be confined to this afternoon/evening with peak heating/maximized instability. Composite outflow/synoptic boundary will be somewhere across the area on Wednesday. Expecting a similar setup to today, as daytime destabilization promotes scattered convection developing as the day progresses. SPC has focused the Day 2 outlook to the southern half of the area, with a marginal risk for damaging winds, fairly similar to today. Coverage should diurnally wane after sunset through Tuesday night. Highs tomorrow may be a few degrees cooler than today, but still hot and humid. Lows will be in the upper 60s to low 70s tonight and tomorrow night. && .SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/... No major changes to the forecast for the end of the week, with high pressure over the eastern US, bringing hot and humid conditions and continued scattered shower/thunderstorm chances. These will be driven mainly by daytime heating, with peak coverage during the afternoon/evening hours. Highs will be in the mid/upper 80s with lows around 70. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... A cold front will push southeast across the area early Saturday, with shower/thunderstorms possible through the day. High pressure will build southeast across the Great Lakes region Saturday night through the first half of next week, keeping conditions generally dry and slightly cooler to end the weekend, with general warming trend through midweek as the high shifts east of the region. There may be some instability driven showers/storms by Tuesday with moisture return into the area. Highs Saturday will be in the mid 80s. Highs will be in the low 80s Sunday, but will return to the mid 80s by Tuesday. && .AVIATION /00Z Wednesday THROUGH Sunday/... Scattered strong to severe convection is slowly decreasing this evening and most of the convection should be gone by sunset or shortly after. Have carried VCTS for some of the TAF locations for this potential through the mid evening. Mainly VFR conditions are expected now through the next 24 to 30 hours with the exception of brief MVFR around any evening convection. Also winds may be gusty and erratic near evening convection. Winds will prevail from the southwest to westerly 5 to 10 knots now through tomorrow. OUTLOOK...Non-VFR possible with isolated to scattered thunderstorms that develop through Saturday. && .MARINE... Generally quiet conditions expected on the lake through the holiday weekend. Southwest winds will diminish into this evening, and will be light and variable through Wednesday as a stationary front lingers near the lake. The front will lift north of the lake Thursday, with southerly winds returning to the lake by Friday. A cold front will finally cross the lake by Saturday, with generally northerly winds through the weekend. && .CLE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. PA...None.
