NWS Cleveland, OH wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at Sep 26, 3:30 PM EDT, 3 hours 4 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 26, 3:30 PM EDT, 3 hours 4 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
330 PM EDT Mon Sep 26 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
A surface low pressure will persist over the Great Lakes region
through Tuesday afternoon, allowing a couple weak boundaries to move
east across the area. Behind the departing low, high pressure will
build east late Wednesday into Thursday and persist into the start
of the weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
An upper level trough and associated low pressure will main an
active near term forecast, especially across areas in the typical
snowbelts. This system is bringing enhanced vorticity across the
entire area, allowing for good upper level support, but it is also
bringing much cooler temperatures across Lake Erie, with models
suggesting an 850mb temperature range of 1-3C. With the surface lake
temperatures ranging from 18-20C, ample lake induced instability has
become established, allowing for persistent lake effect rain showers
to develop. NAM model soundings over the central and eastern basins
suggest CAPE values climbing to near 2000 J/kg through Tuesday
night. This combined with the upper level support will be able to
maintain bands of lake effect rain, with thunder and small hail
possible. A main concern with these bands of lake effect rain is
that they will train over the same areas throughout the near term
forecast due to west-northwest flow. As a result, a Flood Watch
remains in effect into Tuesday night for Cuyahoga County OH to Erie
County PA. Additional rainfall of 2 to 3 inches is expected, with
locally higher amounts possible in the heaviest showers/storms. By
Tuesday night, winds will really begin to shift and be out of the
north-northwest, resulting in a shift in the orientation of lake
effect bands. This will mark an increase in chances of heavier
rainfall over Cuyahoga and Lorain Counties. Some models are suggest
a possible Huron connection, however with the trough departing
fairly quickly, it may not become well established.

Outside of the snowbelt areas, this evening mostly cloudy skies and
scattered showers will persist, with the greatest chances over NW OH
where a connection to Lake Michigan exists. Chances of rain across
these areas increased Tuesday afternoon as a strong vorticity max
moves across the Ohio River Valley and higher moisture values linger
over the area. Overall, no major concerns with the shower activity
over these parts of the CWA as rainfall totals are expected to
remain at or below a quarter inch.

Across the entire CWA, a LLJ of 35-40 knots has resulted in
sustained wind speeds of 20-25 mph, gusting to near 35 mph in some
areas, from the west-southwest. These winds will weaken to 10-15 mph
after sunset and be from the west-northwest. On Tuesday, the winds
will again ramp up to 15-20 mph, with gusts up to 25 mph, and
primarily be out of the northwest. The big change in wind direction
will come Tuesday night as the trough continues to shift east,
allowing for a more north-northwest flow to develop.

Temperatures will remain below average through the period as the
trough continue to advect cold air across the CWA. Tonight's lows
will dip into the mid 40s to low 50s before cooling into the low to
mid 40s on Tuesday night. Tomorrows highs will reach into the mid to
upper 50s, possibly reaching into the low 60s in NW OH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
The persistent pattern responsible for the heavy lake-effect rain
will finally begin to break down Wednesday as the deep mid/upper
longwave trough over the central and eastern Great Lakes starts to
move east in response to broad ridging over the Plains expanding
toward the western Great Lakes ahead of the next mid/upper trough
plowing into the Pacific Northwest. This will allow a strong surface
high over the Upper Midwest and western Great Lakes Wednesday
morning to build south and east into the lower Great Lakes and Ohio
Valley by late Wednesday. Before that all occurs however, one final
shortwave trough and associated cold front will be passing through
the region early Wednesday morning. This will bring the coldest
airmass yet with 850 mb temps falling to 0 to 3 C around 12Z
Wednesday setting up strong lake induced instability with CAPE
values of 1500 to 2000 J/Kg. This combined with equilibrium levels
still around 9500 feet, fairly deep moisture from 850 mb and below
(with some additional moisture into the mid-levels), and minimal
shear through the boundary layer will keep at least scattered lake-
effect showers going Wednesday morning. The good news though is that
the boundary layer flow will be veering sharply to NNW behind the
trough/front, so this much shorter fetch plus the likelihood of some
subsidence behind the trough will spread out the showers over a
wider area and make them lighter and less organized, as opposed to
the heavy east-west bands that we saw earlier in the week. Used a
broad area of slight chance to chance PoPs from north central
through NE Ohio and NW PA Wednesday morning for multi-banded lake-
effect showers. As the high starts building in Wednesday afternoon,
inversion levels will finally fall, shear will increase, and
moisture depth will decrease allowing the lake-effect showers to
diminish. Despite the drying trend, kept slight chance PoPs in NW PA
through early Wednesday night since some moisture lingers below 850
mb per NAM BUFKIT soundings, and lake-effect tends to be stubborn to
end. Highs Wednesday will be limited to the mid/upper 50s. Clearing
skies and light winds Wednesday night will allow lows to fall into
the low 40s across all areas inland of the lake, with sheltered
valleys likely seeing upper 30s. At this point, think enough lake-
effect clouds will linger to prevent frost, but it will be close.

The large surface high will slowly traverse the Ohio Valley and
lower Great Lakes Thursday, moving into PA and the eastern Great
Lakes Thursday night as broad/flat mid/upper ridging builds eastward
across the Great Lakes setting up quasi-zonal flow across much of
the CONUS by Thursday night. This will bring mainly sunny skies but
continued below normal temperatures Thursday with highs in the low
60s in most areas, except upper 50s in far NE Ohio and NW PA.
Thursday night will have the best frost potential this week as lows
fall into the mid/upper 30s in NW PA, but upper 30s to low 40s
across the rest of the region should keep conditions slightly too
warm for frost.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
The broad quasi-zonal flow will continue across the central and
eastern CONUS Friday and Saturday with the surface high gradually
departing east from the eastern Great Lakes offshore of New England.
Warm air advection and mid-level height rises Friday will boost
highs into the mid/upper 60s which is close to normal for the end of
September, with further moderation into the upper 60s to near 70
Saturday. Moisture may start to increase from the south by late in
the day Saturday as the remnants of Hurricane Ian move into the Mid
Atlantic and Appalachians. The mid/upper level pattern of a closed
low gradually rotating into the northern Plains late this weekend
into early next week and broad downstream ridging over the eastern
CONUS favors Ian tracking slowly north and northeastward toward the
Appalachians and Mid Atlantic, but guidance differs with respect to
how quickly Ian moves north and how far northwest its remnants get.
These differences are due to uncertainty in how quickly the northern
Plains upper low will begin to interact with Ian's remnants and
steer it northeast. For now, kept NBM slight chance to chance PoPs
late Saturday through Sunday with the greatest coverage over south
and eastern areas before drying out Sunday night and Monday. It's
possible that we stay completely dry this weekend, so stay tuned for
updates to this forecast.

Highs Sunday and Monday will average 65-70 with milder lows through
the weekend averaging upper 40s to low 50s.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z Monday THROUGH Saturday/...
As a trough continues to pivot over the Great Lakes region, lake
effect rain showers are expected to persist, especially across
the primary snowbelt. The main terminals expected to be
impacted are KCLE and KERI, although showers cannot be ruled out
at KYNG this afternoon either. Terminals impacted by showers
will drop to MVFR visibilites, possibly IFR conditions in the
heaviest showers. The remainder of the area has a non-zero
chance of showers throughout the period, however with the very
scattered nature of these showers, opted to not mention them in
the TAFs due to low confidence on location and timing. Across
the remainder of the area, primarily VFR conditions will persist
for much of the period, with some MVFR ceiling heights moving
in at the tail end.

Winds through the period will primarily remain from the west-
northwest, with the exception of far NE OH and NW PA which will
start from west-southwest before transitioning to west near the
end of the period. Sustained winds this afternoon of 15-20
knots and gusts up to 30 knots will gradually diminish into the
evening hours, becoming 10-15 knots by 06Z Tuesday. Winds will
again ramp up to 15-20 knots, gusting up to 25 knots by the end
of the period.

Outlook...Non-VFR possible in isolated to scattered showers and
thunderstorms through Wednesday. The most-persistent showers and
storms are expected to impact KERI and KCLE/KCAK/KYNG to a
lesser extent.

&&

.MARINE...
Rough conditions will continue on the lake through mid week as a
deep longwave trough over the eastern US, and several reinforcing
shortwave troughs, maintains brisk west to northwesterly flow and
strong cold air advection leading to impressive waves, lake-effect
showers and thunderstorms, and waterspouts. WNW winds of 15-25 knots
will continue tonight and Tuesday generating 4-6 foot waves over the
central basin and 5 to 7 footers over the eastern basin. Waves in
the western basin will be slightly lower with 3-5 foot wave heights
tonight and 2 to 4 feet Tuesday. Small Craft Advisories will
continue for all nearshore zones through Tuesday along with beach
hazard statements for a high risk of rip currents. Winds will veer
to NW behind the passage of a final shortwave trough Tuesday night
decreasing to 15-20 knots. This will allow the Small Craft Advisory
for the western basin to expire Tuesday night, but 3 to 5 foot waves
will continue elsewhere. NNW winds of 15-20 knots and 3 to 5 foot
waves will continue in the central basin Wednesday, so kept the
Small Craft Advisory into early Wednesday night there. High pressure
building in late Wednesday night will veer winds to N while
decreasing to 5-10 knots, then NE winds of 5-10 knots will continue
Thursday becoming E Thursday night and Friday while slightly
increasing to 10-15 knots Friday. Generally E winds of 10-15 knots
will then continue through Saturday.

Low water on the western basin will start to come back up above the
critical mark for safe navigation this evening. The current critical
mark is 13 inches above low water datum, and levels are falling to 7
to 8 inches as of mid afternoon. Sloshing of the water will continue
these low values through early evening before improving.
