KahnWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 21, 3:28 PM EDT, 50 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 21, 3:28 PM EDT, 50 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Cleveland OH 328 PM EDT Sat May 21 2022 .SYNOPSIS... A cold front will settle across Lake Erie today before moving east across the area tonight and tomorrow. High pressure builds east across the Great Lakes region tomorrow night through Tuesday. A warm front extending from low pressure out of the mid-Mississippi Valley will move north across the area Wednesday before this low moves northeast across the Great Lakes region on Thursday and Friday. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been issued for much of the area through 02Z, primarily for damaging wind gusts and large hail. See discussion below for more details. The environment is primed for severe thunderstorms this afternoon, with RAP mesoanalysis suggesting SBCAPE as high as 4000 J/kg, with projections building it up to 4500 J/kg. Combined with effective bulk shear 30-40 kts and we have a favorable environment for severe convection. Damaging wind gusts are likely to be the prime culprit this afternoon and evening with max theta-e difference of up to 30 C, DCAPE up to 1200 J/kg and low level lapse rates of 7-8 C/km all contributing to a favorable environment for damaging winds. However, large hail will also be possible with moderate mid-level lapse rates of 6.5-7 and hail growth zone (-10 to -30 C) CAPE of up to 1000 J/kg. While not especially favorable, an isolated tornado can not be ruled out with modest 0-1 km shear of around 10-15 kts, effective SRH around 50, and LCL heights around 1000m. Flash flooding is also pose a risk with a very moist environment in place, especially if convection initiates off a WSW-ENE boundary. The cold front finally pushes east of the area tomorrow morning and precipitation will gradually taper off during the morning and early afternoon Sunday from west to east. Cooler air will spread into the area tonight with considerably colder temperatures compared to this morning's lows. Also, notably cooler temperatures expected for Sunday. As we remain in the warm sector today, temperatures will take a stab at hitting the 90 degree mark. However, with advancing clouds, temperatures should hold below the 90 degree level across much of the area. && .SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... High pressure over the Great Lakes will foster dry weather through the majority of the short term period. However, lingering cold air advection will provide below normal temperatures Monday, with highs in the low to mid 60s anticipated. By Tuesday, a building ridge across the southeastern US will allow temps to increase and highs will recover to the low to mid 70s. Overnight lows will be in the 40s to low 50s each night. Pops begin to increase Tuesday night as low pressure developing over the Mississippi Valley lifts a warm front northeast towards the local area. The best chance of scattered showers will be confined to the western half of the forecast area. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... An unsettled weather pattern is expected mid to late week as a deepening upper-level trough and surface low inch eastward across the region and several shortwaves move across the local area. This will result in several waves of precipitation, including potential for thunderstorms during peak heating hours. As of now, the highest pops are Wednesday and Thursday, with slightly lower chances heading towards the end of the week due to divergence in model guidance. A cold front will likely move across the area Friday, allowing pops to decrease Friday night into Saturday. However, scattered showers may persist through the first half of the weekend as a reinforcing cold front moves across the lower Great Lakes. Wednesday and Thursday will most likely be the warmest days of the week with highs in the mid to upper 70s. Temps will be slightly cooler in the upper 60s Friday and upper 60s to low 70s Saturday. Overnight lows will be in the upper 50s to low 60s Wednesday and Thursday night and expect cooler lows in the low 50s Friday night. && .AVIATION /18Z Saturday THROUGH Thursday/... We're starting off the TAF period with VFR conditions with a cu field producing scattered to broken ceilings in the 4-6 kft range. Scattered to numerous storms are expected to develop in western Ohio early to mid afternoon, quickly growing upscale into a squall line as it moves east-northeast across the area. Additional thunderstorms could develop ahead of it along a lake boundary near KCLE and KERI. A favorable environment will may result in some of these thunderstorms producing hail and strong winds. Heavy rain will accompany thunderstorms and likely result in brief periods of IFR (or lower) visibility and MVFR ceilings. Confidence in timing of thunderstorms is medium and tried to time out about 2-3 hours of prevailing thunderstorms. First round of thunderstorms is expected to be through the area by 02-03Z with some potential for a second overnight round of showers and thunderstorms. Confidence is lower for overnight precipitation so left thunderstorms out of TAFs for now. Model guidance does project lower ceilings overnight and have most TAF sites getting down to at least prevailing MVFR with some eastern TAF sites going down to IFR ceilings. Additional thunderstorm development is expected late tomorrow morning into the early afternoon hours near KYNG/KERI. Outlook...Non-VFR possible Tuesday night through Thursday with showers and afternoon thunderstorms. && .MARINE... Thunderstorms will impact the lake this afternoon into early this evening and any thunderstorms that move over the lake may produce hail and strong winds. Outside of thunderstorms, expect variable winds 6 to 12 knots this afternoon before becoming southwesterly this evening. Winds shift to the northwest and increase to 15 to 20 knots Sunday morning and a short-fused Small Craft Advisory may be needed before winds and waves decrease Sunday afternoon. Onshore flow continues through the first half of next week and although winds will remain below 20 knots, persistent onshore flow may keep waves elevated in nearshore zones. Will continue to monitor wind and wave forecast trends for any Small Craft Advisory conditions through the weekend. && .CLE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. PA...None.
