Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
658 AM EDT Fri Aug 28 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
A stationary front just north of the forecast area will lift
north today and tonight as the remnants of Laura move east
through the Ohio valley. Low pressure moving east through the
Great Lake late tonight and Saturday will force a cold front
southeast across the region. High pressure will build across the
region late Saturday through Sunday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
A few updates to address the ongoing convection across Lake Erie
into NE OH and NW PA, otherwise the rest of the day looks on
track with the current forecast.

Original discussion...
A rather uncertain near term forecast with regards to
thunderstorm potential today and tonight. A quasi-zonal flow
regime will persist today and tonight across the region, with a
surface stationary front just north of Lake Erie. The first
round of convection upstream in lower MI into western Lake Erie
this morning, on the nose of a modest but strengthening low
level jet, may sneak down into the forecast area later this
morning, although the steering flow continues to back a bit more
westerly, suggesting that most of the activity remains north of
the area.

After this morning, thunderstorm potential increases from the
southwest across the area as the remnants of Laura sneak
northeast into the Ohio valley, with modestly increasing
low/mid level flow and increasing moisture. While the area
remains in between some of the larger scale forcing mechanisms,
increasing upper level diffluence, along with mid level energy
ejecting northeast across the area, should be enough to promote
scattered to fairly widespread convection throughout the day.

Thermodynamically, modest destabilization will continue through
the morning into the afternoon, with steep low level lapse
rates developing. As of right now, the area remains in a slight
risk in the Day 1 SPC outlook. Mid level lapse rates aren't all
that impressive, with a more long/skinny CAPE profiles
suggesting only modest UVM. This, combined with meager deep
layer bulk shear, may limit the overall organization and
coverage of severe potential, with loosely organized multicell
clusters and a downburst risk being the main threat. Even
downburst potential may decrease as the deeper saturation of the
column feeds into the local area this afternoon into the
evening hours. A deeper, saturated profile would suggest more of
a heavy rainfall/flash flooding threat, with models depicting
slightly different evolutions through the day.

Given the disparity in the model solutions, have went with a
similar forecast trend to the previous iteration, capping pops
in the likely range this afternoon into this evening. Expecting
a bit of a lull in precip coverage this evening into the
overnight hours before a digging upper wave and phasing surface
lows track east across the Great Lakes forcing a cold front
towards the area. Convection is expected to develop and organize
along/ahead of the front near Lake Michigan later this evening,
moving into the area in a weakening state by Saturday morning.
This front will cross the area early Saturday with the remnants
of Laura ejecting east out of the Ohio valley, providing shower
potential, especially for the southeast half of the area,
Saturday morning and early afternoon. Drying conditions expected
through the remainder of Saturday from west to east.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
High pressure will quickly build into the region on Saturday night,
which will foster cooler and drier weather through Monday afternoon.
Highs on Sunday will be in the low to mid 70s, but temps will warm
back into the mid to upper 70s on Monday. A warm front will approach
the area from the southeast on Monday night, which will usher
increasing shower and thunderstorm chances into the forecast
area.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
The long term forecast period appears somewhat unsettled for the
middle of next week. Large upper troughing over central North
America will allow for shortwaves to enter the region from the
southwest with various timing for precipitation. A more robust
shortwave appears to be on Wednesday night when this feature would
support a warm front through the area. An even strong wave of energy
approaches from the southwest on Thursday and will help a cold front
across the area. Left PoPs as chance through the period, as there is
still some timing issues to be addressed and left generally near
normal around 80 degrees.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z Friday THROUGH Tuesday/...
Lower confidence forecast for the period as a warm front lifts
north into the area, with multiple rounds of TSRA possible
across the area. Some SHRA/TSRA may impact KERI/KYNG this
morning, with some early IFR ceilings expected for a brief time
at KYNG outside of convection. More widespread SHRA/TSRA will
develop around 16Z- 18Z through the afternoon, with the best
chances at KMFD/KYNG/KCAK, but possible at every terminal for a
period of time. TSRA/SHRA coverage/potential will diminish
briefly after 00Z before increasing again out of the northwest
just beyond 06Z. Confidence too low at this time for precip
mention after 06Z. Winds will generally be out of the southwest
through the period.

Outlook...Non-VFR possible with showers and thunderstorms into
Saturday.

&&

.MARINE...
Occasional showers and thunderstorms are likely along a nearly
stationary front across the lower Great Lakes this morning. Low
pressure currently over the northern Plains will enter the Great
Lakes region tonight, which will push a cold front across the lake
on Saturday. Additional showers and thunderstorms will be likely
ahead of the front tonight into Saturday and locally higher waves
and winds will be possible within any thunderstorm activity.
Southwest flow will increase this evening into Saturday before
becoming northwest behind the cold front on Saturday afternoon.
A Small Craft Advisory may be needed at some point on Saturday.
High pressure will develop across the region Sunday into Monday
with winds becoming lighter. Low pressure will move into the
Great Lakes Monday night into Tuesday, lifting a warm front near
the lake on Tuesday.
