Area forecast discussion, May 19, 4:30 AM EDT, 1 hour 53 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
430 AM EDT Tue May 19 2020
.SYNOPSIS...
Weakening low pressure over southern Indiana drifts to Tennessee
by Wednesday as high pressure builds over our region from the
north and northeast. The low pressure system continues to weaken
and should drift back toward the Mid Ohio Valley on Thursday
and Friday as high pressure exits northern Ohio and northwest
Pennsylvania to the east.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A surface low centered over southern Indiana early this morning
moves to eastern Tennessee by nightfall on Wednesday.
Simultaneously, this surface low will weaken as it becomes
vertically-stacked with its parent cutoff mid- to upper-level
low moving from the Lower Ohio Valley. Behind this low, a
surface high migrating from central Quebec to the Gulf of Maine
will extend a ridge into our CWA as high pressure aloft builds
from the Upper Midwest.
The southeast to northwest-oriented warm conveyor belt of the
aforementioned low pressure system will continue undergoing
isentropic lift over our CWA amidst abundant moisture from the Gulf
of Mexico and Gulf Stream, and weak most-unstable CAPE. As a result,
sporadic rain showers are expected to affect our CWA today. However,
bands of training steady to heavy showers and perhaps embedded
thunderstorms will likely persist over and near the Knox County to
Wood County corridor this morning. Total rainfall this morning is
forecast to reach one half to 1.5 inches in this corridor,
especially southwest of a Mount Vernon to Bowling Green line.
Additional flooding is possible in and near this corridor. The flood
watch is now in effect until noon EDT today for Lucas, Wood, and
Hancock Counties to Erie, Huron, Richland, and Knox Counties in
northern Ohio. While significant additional rainfall is not expected
across the entire watch area, notable rises along streams and
rivers may occur well downstream from where the heaviest and
most persistent rainfall is expected today. Farther east in
northern Ohio, the flood watch was cancelled since excessive
rainfall and stream rises leading to flooding no longer appear
possible. Rain showers and perhaps a few thunderstorms should
become more sporadic over our entire CWA this afternoon and
tonight as the aforementioned low weakens, which will also cause
the warm conveyor belt, isentropic lift, and associated
moisture advection to weaken.
High temperatures should reach the 60's today, while tonight's low
temperatures should reach the mid 40's to lower 50's, with the
warmest lows along and near the Lake Erie shore. Odds favor fair
weather for our whole CWA on Wednesday due to the building high
pressure ridge. Afternoon highs should reach the low to mid 60's as
skies undergo partial clearing generally from the north.
&&
.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
The cutoff low will meander back north to the Upper Ohio Valley to
end the work week. Fortunately, with much less impact. Moisture will
stream west-northwest from the Appalachians. Much of this will not
make it, but with a weak surface reflection and the upper low
drawing nearer, will have to have a chance for showers/thunderstorms
across the southern tier of counties through Thursday and more of
the eastern half of the area for Friday. Not sure if we will need to
continue precipitation chances through Friday night. High
temperatures will moderate to around 70 for Thursday and lower 70s
for Friday.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
We will finally get to discuss a different pattern for this portion
of the forecast. By Saturday, the pesky cutoff low will have exited
east of the region. Mid level ridging begins to build for the
holiday weekend which translates to milder temperatures. By sunday a
warm front begins to take shape across central/northern OH. Enough
instability may result in a late afternoon shower or thunderstorm.
Still uncertainty in the degree and timing of a minor shortwave to
round the top of the ridge. This would act to invigorate a few of
those showers. Monday also has early summer-like afternoon chances
for showers/thunderstorms as we get some better return flow.
&&
.AVIATION /06Z Tuesday THROUGH Saturday/...
MVFR to LIFR will continue with rain showers across much of
northern Ohio tonight. The rain shield should pivot westward and
southward gradually through the TAF period as a surface low
moves southward from central IN to central KY and high pressure
builds from the northeast. Increasing easterly to southeasterly
downslope flow should keep the eastern terminals VFR through
the TAF period. West of the I-71 corridor, lingering MVFR to
LIFR conditions should gradually improve to MVFR and then VFR as
showers become more sporadic after 12Z/Tues.
Breezy surface winds will be easterly to southeasterly, with the
strongest winds expected between late morning and early evening
on Tuesday. During this time period, gusts around 25 knots will
be common.
Outlook...Periods of non-VFR possible with showers and/or
thunderstorms Wednesday through Saturday.
&&
.MARINE...
East-northeast flow will continue across the lake today although by
afternoon the gradient will slacken slightly. Will have to keep the
Small Craft Advisory going for the entire nearshore waters up to NY
through this evening. The western basin may need continuation into
Wednesday. Lighter easterly flow continues for the remainder of the
week with high pressure north of the lake and the meandering cutoff
low south of the Ohio River. This flow and the gradient will keep
water levels high across the western basin. Have extended the
Lakeshore Flood Warning into this evening, but forecast data shows
levels hovering near 69 to 74 inches at Toledo through
Wednesday.
