AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Cleveland OH

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure over northern ohio will move northeast of the
region this evening and reach upstate New York by Monday
morning. Monday afternoon, high pressure will move into the

Low pressure in southwest Ohio will move northeast through early
evening lifting a warm front north into the region. A cold front
will follow the low. Expect thunderstorms to develop late this

rain likely far northwest in the cool air. Favorable cape and
shear suggest some storms may become severe with downburst winds
the most likely threat although there is a chance of tornadoes
as well. Late this evening flow will turn northwest behind the
low. Models show wrap around moisture overspreading the region
overnight and would expect light rain to persist through the
night in the wake of the low. Will continue a rain chance for
northeast OH and nwrn PA Monday morning and then dry out the
forecast for the afternoon as high pressure builds in.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...

area Thursday night through Saturday.

.AVIATION /18Z Sunday THROUGH Friday/...
Low pressure will move northeast across northern Ohio this
afternoon. Expect mainly rain and IFR conditions across
northwest Ohio. Central and east into nwrn PA expect convection
to develop this afternoon and linger into early evening. Expect
conditions to be IFR in convection. IFR conditions with light
rain to overspread the area overnight in west to northwest flow.
Conditions improving to VFR on Monday.
