Area forecast discussion, Aug 29, 3:46 PM EDT, 2 hours 38 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Cleveland OH 346 PM EDT Mon Aug 29 2022 .SYNOPSIS... A cold front will approach from the west tonight before sweeping east across the area Tuesday. The front will be followed by a secondary cold front Wednesday night into Thursday and high pressure will return through Friday. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... Unsettled weather will persist through tonight as additional rounds of convection move across the area. A lull in activity is anticipated before the MCS currently across northern Illinois and southeastern Michigan moves east this evening. Currently thinking it will begin to creep into the area sometime between 21Z and 23Z. Although the MCS should weaken and become less organized as it moves east into a region with less favorable shear, MLCAPE values of 2000-3000 J/kg, dew points in the low to mid 70s, and effective bulk shear values of 20 to 25 knots will support a threat of damaging wind gusts and localized torrential rain/flooding, especially in western zones. Guidance is still a bit inconsistent with the eastward extent of the convection; it's possible that it weakens across the area and leaves behind a boundary to allow additional convection to blossom overnight. There's still quite spread in guidance with any overnight precip, so opted for broad likely PoPs that will likely be refined in subsequent updates. The severe threat should diminish with the initial round of convection, but the heavy rain threat may persist. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms will persist through late Thursday morning or early afternoon before tapering off from west to east as a cold front moves east across the CWA. By Tuesday evening, the vast majority of the precip will exit to the east with cold air advection developing in the front's wake. Lingering troughing and cold air aloft may result in scattered lake- enhanced showers across NW PA and extreme NE OH through the end of the near term period. Tonight's lows will manage to fall into the (still unseasonably warm) upper 60s to lower 70s, but it will still feel quite muggy with dew points in the upper 60s to lower 70s. Tuesday's highs will climb into the mid to upper 70s to lower 80s and expect a noticeable cool-down Tuesday night as lows drop into the upper 50s to lower 60s. && .SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... Generally quiet and cooler weather is expected through the short term period as a reinforcing cold front will move south across the Great Lakes Wednesday night into Thursday. For the beginning of the short term period, some lingering lake- effect rain showers and/or clouds are possible across NE OH into NW PA Wednesday morning with gradual clearing expected through the afternoon hours. Another trough will swing south across the eastern Great Lakes Wednesday night into Thursday, extending a reinforcing cold front across the area. At this time, precipitation is not expected, though could see some brief increase in cloud cover across NE OH and NW PA overnight. Cooler and drier weather will return for Thursday, with highs generally in the low to mid 70s. Slightly warmer weather in the upper 70s to perhaps 80 is possible across NW OH. The seasonably- cool weather will continue into Thursday night, with most places dropping into the low 50s with perhaps some upper 40s possible across inland NW PA. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... The generally weather pattern is expected to continue through the long term period, characterized by generally weak, zonal upper-level flow under surface high pressure. A weak upper trough axis will extend a cold front south across the region late Saturday into Sunday which could result in some isolated shower activity, though confidence remains low on coverage and intensity at this time. Average to slightly above average temperatures are expected through the long term period. The warmest day will be on Saturday ahead of the upper trough/cold frontal passage with temperatures in the mid to upper 80s, though low-level moisture and surface dew points will remain seasonably low. && .AVIATION /18Z Monday THROUGH Saturday/... VFR is expected through the remainder of the afternoon before a line of thunderstorms moves east into the local area this evening. Still some uncertainty in the precip chances at each terminal, but the highest rain chances are at KTOL this evening. Any storms that move over terminals will produce non-VFR visibilities and perhaps gusty, erratic winds. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms may linger through Tuesday morning with MVFR possibly developing at southern and eastern terminals as a cold front approaches from the west. Showers should taper off from west to east as the cold front starts to cross the CWA late in the TAF period. South to southwest winds 8 to 14 knots with gusts to 22 knots are anticipated through this evening before diminishing to 5 to 10 knots overnight. Outlook...Non-VFR possible in isolated showers across NW PA and far NE OH through early Wednesday. && .MARINE... Generally southwest winds of 15 to 20 knots will continue through the rest of this evening and overnight, gradually shifting towards the west on Tuesday. A strong cold front will eventually arrive across the lake Tuesday evening, shifting winds towards the northwest, around 20 knots. A Small Craft Advisory will likely be needed for late Tuesday evening through Wednesday morning for much of the central and eastern basin of the lake. Westerly flow of 15 to 20 knots will persist across the lake Wednesday afternoon, with another weak cold front arriving Wednesday night into Thursday, shifting winds once again towards the northwest and north, but diminishing to around 10 knots. Weak flow will return for Friday into Saturday. && .CLE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. PA...None.
