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.
