What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this high wind watch 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 high wind watch went out at Mar 24, 1:43 AM EDT, 1 hour 47 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 24, 1:43 AM EDT, 1 hour 47 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Cleveland OH 143 AM EDT Wed Mar 24 2021 .SYNOPSIS... Low pressure over the lower Missouri River Valley will move northeast tonight and reach the Great Lakes region on Wednesday. This low will extend a warm front across the area by Wednesday afternoon. Another low pressure system will develop over the south central United States on Thursday and move northeast into the Ohio Valley on Thursday night into Friday. High pressure will briefly return to the region on Saturday. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/... 930 pm update... No significant changes to the ongoing forecast overnight were made with this forecast update. We made some minor tweaks to the precip chances with the very light scattered rain showers expected late tonight into the early morning hours. Previous discussion... Mid-to-high clouds have thickened up across the area this afternoon as a mid-level vorticity maximum moves through the region, tapping into moisture around 500 mb. Some breaks in the clouds will return this evening as this feature departs but the filtered sunshine feel will continue for the rest of today. With clouds across the region, believe that lows tonight will stay elevated around the 50 degree mark, or warmer than the average high for late March for most folks. Low pressure over the lower Missouri River Valley will move northeast towards the Great Lakes region tonight. The combination of warm air and moisture advection with a shortwave trough pivoting northwest of the area will allow for lower clouds and scattered showers to enter overnight. The low levels of the atmosphere are fairly dry and there is potential that the first bit of rain would just help resaturate the area and measurable precipitation may not occur until Wednesday morning. With that, will continue with the chance PoPs across the forecast area with the highest percentages in NW Ohio. The surface warm front will cross the area on Wednesday and have PoPs diminishing through the day but most precipitation should be over by Noon. Temperatures will have the opportunity to return near the 70 degree mark for highs on Wednesday, but could even exceed that since we'll be starting from the 50s in the morning. The atmosphere should mix fairly well by the afternoon and winds will be on the increase with gusts to 35 mph possible. Drier air will enter behind the departing low on Wednesday night and cloud cover should diminish. Elevated winds should keep the atmosphere mixed and lows should remain well above normal in the upper 40s to lower 50s. && .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/... We will be monitoring an interesting weather system moving out of the southern Plains during the short term forecast period. Low pressure will develop over the lower Mississippi Valley on Thursday and track northeast towards Lake Erie by Friday morning. This is in response to a fairly compact shortwave trough that will also lift out of the southern Plains with a 130 knot upper level jet. Models still lying in two camps with this system, with the 12Z GFS/ECMWF both showing the shortwave trough becoming negatively tilted and closing off as it reaches northern Ohio by Friday morning, with an associated surface low deepening to at least 990mb. Meanwhile the NAM remains more progressive with both the upper trough and surface feature resulting in a weaker system and important forecast differences. Today's runs show the Canadian somewhere in between and may offer a compromise of the various solutions. Both scenarios place the forecast area in the warm sector at some point Thursday or Thursday night and did include a chance of thunderstorms with continued high pops of 80-90 percent. Confidence is fairly high in widespread rain with amounts of 0.50-1.50 inches, primarily focused in the Thursday night window. The ECMWF remains the more consistent model with the GFS trending in that direction with the 12Z run although confidence in storm track/strength/details remaining below normal. Although instability will be limited, especially if the overnight timing pans out, can not rule out a few thunderstorms that need to be monitored for a chance of severe weather given the strong shear profile. In addition, we could be looking at strong post frontal winds on Friday along and behind the cold front as the stronger solutions indicate up to 50 knots at 925mb. Highs on Thursday will be warm with some areas near 70, although portions of NW Ohio could end up cooler with flow off the lake. Highs on Friday will occur early ahead of the front with temperatures falling to near 50 behind it. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... High pressure will be overhead on Saturday before another low pressure system moves east across Lake Erie Saturday night in response to a deepening trough moving out of Canada. This system will present another chance for showers with cold advection Sunday into Sunday night. Precipitation will largely fall as rain but can not rule out a few flakes mixing in by Sunday night. Temperatures on Monday will be closer to normal before starting to recover again by Tuesday with a building ridge. && .AVIATION /06Z Wednesday THROUGH Sunday/... Low pressure centered over Missouri will be the primary driver in impacts to aviation through this period. This low will continue northeast across the western Great Lakes into Wednesday overnight, bringing a weak warm front north across the area by sunrise. Ceilings are also expected to steadily decrease, however opted to keep all VFR conditions through the period, but cannot rule out brief periods of MVFR. The aforementioned warm front will provide increased moisture advection across the area and a source of lift, which will result is scattered, light rain showers into the morning hours. These showers are not expected to be heavy enough to cause significant reduction in visibility. Aside from the warm front, as the low pressure moves closer to the area, an associated strong LLJ is expected to establish itself across the area. A deep mixing layer will allow for southeast winds of 10 to 15 knots, gusting up to 30 knots at times throughout the forecast period. Winds will be slightly higher in NW PA and NE OH due to downsloping, so can expect sustained winds of 12 to 20 knots, gusting near 30 knots more consistently at KERI. Winds are expected to weaken to 5 to 10 knots near the end of the TAF period. Outlook...Non-VFR possible Thursday through Friday with periods of rain showers and some thunderstorms. Winds will be elevated on Friday and gusts in excess of 30 knots are expected. && .MARINE... Southeasterly winds of 10 to 15 knots will veer to southerly at 10- 20 knots on Wednesday as a warm front lifts north across the lake. Stable boundary layer conditions will help to prevent much stronger winds aloft from reaching the surface as a strong low level jet moves overhead. A strong low pressure system will track out of the southern Plains on Thursday with easterly winds increasing ahead of the low. There is some uncertainty regarding the track of this system but generally expecting a fairly strong low to track northeast across Lake Erie Friday morning, wrapping a cold front in behind it and creating a window of strong winds. Easterly winds will veer to southerly and eventually southwest and west through the day on Friday with a window of gale force winds possible. Will re- evaluate the potential for gales again over the next 48 hours as models narrow in on a more consistent storm track. Deviation to the the track could result in considerably different wind directions and speeds. High pressure will quickly build in behind this system on Friday. Another low pressure system will move east across Lake Erie Saturday night, wrapping another cold front across the lake for Sunday, potentially resulting in another window of Small Craft Advisories. && .CLE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
