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 Aug 18, 4:42 PM EDT, 2 hours 14 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 18, 4:42 PM EDT, 2 hours 14 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Cleveland OH 442 PM EDT Sun Aug 18 2019 .SYNOPSIS... A stationary front will remain west to east across the region over the next several days. A series of weak troughs will move along the front bringing on and off chances for storms through the middle of this week. The front will move southeast through the area Wednesday night. A cooler and drier weather pattern will follow for the end of the week as high pressure builds across the region. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... Convection beginning to impact the area this afternoon, a few hours ahead of schedule as noted in the previous discussion. The environment remains a bit marginal, with the better storms west near a corridor of good mid level lapse rates and effective bulk shear values of 30-35 kts. More storms continue to fire off an outflow boundary across northeast Ohio. Shear will be increasing a bit into this evening, although it remains to be seen if this convection will work over the moderate instability across the area this afternoon. Even more uncertainty lies with upstream convection potentially developing and moving into the area after 00Z, as the bulk of the hi-res guidance suggests. Have hedged with lingering chance pops through the evening into the overnight. Any precip will quickly diminish after midnight. The synoptic cold front will settle south into the area on Monday. Depending on the amount of destabilization south of the boundary, more showers and a few storms may develop as the day progresses. Right now, have slight chance pops moving to chance pops during the afternoon across portions of the area. The front will remain anchored across the northern part of the area Monday night, with pops generally diminishing through the night with the loss of daytime heating. && .SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... The synoptic boundary will linger over the northern part of the area Tuesday into Wednesday. This may promote diurnally induced convection Tuesday and again Wednesday, with better, more organized convection limited to any upstream MCS activity that may sneak into the area. Have held with chance pops for now. A stronger shortwave will move through the area Wednesday into Wednesday night, which will push the front south through the area, bringing a demise to local precipitation chances Wednesday night. Above normal temps and humid conditions will persist until the front moves through. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... A quiet, cooler pattern emerges by Thursday as high pressure drifts east across the Great Lakes region. Seasonably cooler temperatures in the mid to upper 70s Thursday and Friday will recover into the low/mid 80s by the end of the weekend. Dry conditions will prevail until at least Sunday, as some moisture return into the area may bring scattered shower/thunderstorm activity on Sunday. && .AVIATION /18Z Sunday THROUGH Friday/... Low confidence TAF with respect to TSRA potential this evening. Aside from TSRA near KTOL at the onset of the period, best chances for TSRA will be between 00Z and 05Z from west to east across the area this evening. Given low confidence in model solutions, have only mentioned TSRA in PROB30/TEMPO until development becomes clearer. Outside of TSRA, mainly VFR conditions expected, although some lowering ceilings to MVFR possible at the end of the period as a cold front sinks south into the area. Some gusts to 20 kts are possible this afternoon out of the southwest. Winds will remain south to southwest, becoming more west/northwest as the cold front moves through at the end of the period. OUTLOOK...Intervals of non-VFR possible primarily with thunderstorms possible Monday and again on Wednesday. && .MARINE... A relatively quiet period on the lake this week, as a frontal boundary will meander near the lake through Wednesday. This will keep winds variable over the lake through Wednesday until a cold front pushes south of the lake. This will bring northerly winds to the lake until the end of the week as high pressure drifts across the region. Winds will swing around to the south as the high pushes into New England this weekend. && .CLE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. PA...None. MARINE...None. && SYNOPSIS...Greenawalt NEAR TERM...Greenawalt SHORT TERM...Greenawalt LONG TERM...Greenawalt AVIATION...Greenawalt MARINE...Greenawalt
