Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
437 AM EDT Wed Aug 25 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will linger across the mid-Atlantic region today
and tonight. A cold front will move south towards the area
Wednesday night, lingering in the vicinity of the Lake Erie
Thursday through Friday as a stationary front.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
07Z RAP analysis has a mid-level shortwave trough located from
east-central Illinois to south-central lower Michigan. This
trough is expected to make eastward progression to northwest
Ohio by 12Z today and then to just west of I-71 by 18Z this
afternoon. Scattered convection ahead of this trough is
expected, with ongoing scattered clusters of thunderstorms just
east of I-71 and near the I-75 corridor. Pops associated with
scattered convection will slowly progress eastward today ahead
of the mid-level trough. A moist environment is present ahead of
this trough, with surface dew points expected to be in the low
to mid 70s by the early afternoon. SBCAPE > 2000 J/kg is
probable especially east of I-77 this afternoon, which should be
more than sufficient for some stronger storms. Weak flow aloft
and thus weak vertical wind shear should prevent organized
convection from developing and producing severe weather. PWAT to
1.9 are expected so efficient rainfall will lead to locally
heavy downpours, though there is minimal risk for flash flooding
given rather dry antecedent conditions, weak forcing aloft, and low
coverage of convection expected.

The temperature forecast is a bit challenging due to uncertainty
with precipitation and cloud forecast. Latest model trends has
reduced max temperatures across the area by a degree or two,
with high temperatures peaking in the upper 80s to around 90.
Combined with dew points in the low to mid 70s, am expected heat
indices generally in the mid to upper 90s. Far northwest Ohio
has the greatest chance for clearing of cloud cover, and thus a
greater chance for slightly higher temperatures. For this
reason, have issued a Heat Advisory for Lucas, Wood, and Hancock
County for heat indices near 100. Will have to monitor
progression of convective activity this morning to see if an
expansion of the advisory is needed.

A fairly similar environment is anticipated Thursday with high
dew points and temperatures in the upper 80s to low 90s, with
heat indices in the mid to upper 90s. High instability is
expected, though still low flow aloft and vertical wind shear is
expected. Scattered thunderstorm activity is likely during the
afternoon hours with some possibly becoming strong.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
A cold front is expected to move across the lake Thursday night.
Still some uncertainty on timing across the lake into northern
OH and NW PA with outflow from thunderstorms likely playing a
role. This boundary will stall over the CWA on Friday and become
a focus for thunderstorms through the day. Think we will need to
monitor for some locally heavy rainfall with flooding a
possibility. However this will all hinge on the locations of an
MCS that could impact the region. Another MCS may approach from
the upper Great Lakes late Friday night into Saturday. So lots
of mesoscale features to track with plenty of uncertainty on
exactly where the boundaries end up for each day. It will
continue to be warm and humid. Highs through the short term
should be in the 90s to lower 90's. Lows in the 60's to lower
70's.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
A warm front moves north of the region by Sunday morning. Still
very unstable with numerous mesoscale features impacting the
region. Thunderstorm chances may drop ever so slightly on
Sunday with the ridge still in place just south of the region.
However by Sunday night into Monday a cold front will approach
from the west with thunderstorms expected along and ahead of
it. Best chances look to be on Monday. A few showers may linger
into Monday night across the southeast. Tuesday looks as if it
will be dry as high pressure builds into the region from the
north.

Sunday should be the warmest day of the long term with highs in
the mid 80's to lower 90's. Highs cool to the 80's on MOnday
with cloud cover and thunderstorms. By Tuesday highs may range
from the mid 70's across NW PA to the mid 80's across NW OH.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z Wednesday THROUGH Sunday/...
An area of scattered showers and thunderstorms in a weakening
state is progressing east across Indiana, southern Michigan and
into northwest Ohio. These should impact KTOL and KFDY through
the next few hours, with some potential to be near KMFD, KCLE,
and KCAK by 12Z, though there is a little less certainty with
those TAF sites. The forecast beyond 12Z is very uncertain given
the fact that there is little forcing driving the evolution of
storms across the area. The general idea though is for some
amount of additional scattered convection late this morning
through the afternoon/evening hours with greatest storm
potential through the day with greatest chance for storms
between 12-18Z towards KTOL, KFDY, KMFD, and KCLE, and then
18-00Z for KCAK and KYNG. Lower potential for showers overnight.
Patchy fog could start to develop after 04Z depending on where
rain fell during the daytime hours.

Wind forecast is generally light through the TAF period, though
actual wind will probably be more chaotic with influences from
outflow boundaries and thunderstorms. Gusty winds will be
possible with thunderstorms through the TAF period.

Outlook...Non-VFR possible with isolated to scattered showers
and thunderstorms Wednesday afternoon through Saturday.

&&

.MARINE...
A ridge will gradually decrease its influence on Lake Erie
through the day. Lake breeze should develop again today with
onshore flow anticipated. However thunderstorms and outflow
from them will impact the strength of the lake breeze. A
weakening cold front will move across the lake Thursday evening
and then stall over northern Ohio and northern Pennsylvania. A
ridge will build south across the lake Friday and Friday
evening. This will produce east to northeast winds that should
increase to around 15 knots. Will need to monitor closely for a
short period of time where waves could approach 4 feet Friday
afternoon into the evening. A ridge will reach westward from the
East Coast to the eastern Great Lakes Sunday with south to
southwest winds returning.
