Severe Thunderstorm Warning 97, NWS Cleveland, OH

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
753 PM EDT Sun Jul 24 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will pass through the area overnight. High pressure
will build into the Great Lakes region on Monday into Tuesday. A
cold front will move through the region on Wednesday into
Thursday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
Some shower and thunderstorm activity picked up over far NE OH
and NW PA this evening, tapping into an environment with more
instability from high temperatures reaching the 90s this
afternoon. This convection has pushed east and any residual
development has struggled in the worked over environment, where
temperatures has fallen into the upper 70s.

Attention is now shifting to areas ahead of the cold front
across southern Lower Michigan, Northwest Ohio, and Northeast
Indiana. This region has had a less favorable storm environment
today with ample cloud cover across the region, limiting
instability and diurnally-driven convection. Recent convective
development over central Indiana has allowed for this region to
continue to get slighted from better moisture advection into the
region and additional cloud cover over the region has prevented
this area to destabilize. Regardless, ample forcing with the
surface cold front and upper trough moving through the region
has allowed for shower activity to form ahead of the cold front
in southern Lower Michigan and this will spread southeast with
time tonight. There is enough instability residing across the
area for these showers to perk up over the next few hours and
0-6 km bulk shear values of 50 knots or so could allow for
storms to organize to strong to severe limits tonight.

The front will pass through the area overnight and dry out the
region for Monday as high pressure builds into the forecast
area. Temperatures will be cooler than Sunday with temperatures
struggling to reach the 80s for most. Clearing conditions will
allow for a cool night with lows in the 60s and perhaps some
upper 50s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
Generally quiet weather is expected in the first half of the short
term period (Tuesday) with high pressure extending across the Lower
Great Lakes and a stationary front located just south of the area.

Slightly more active weather in the form of showers and/or
thunderstorms is possible on Wednesday as the stationary front lifts
north as a warm front, coupled with an approaching upper-level
trough across the Great Lakes and associated cold front. The
environment could be favorable for some organized thunderstorms
given the enhanced mid to upper-level flow, though there remains
uncertainty on available instability and some mid-level dry air that
could limit coverage. Will also have to monitor for localized heavy
rainfall, given PWATs in the 1.6 to 1.8 range in addition to modest
warm cloud depths.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
The cold front will mostly exit south and east of the area by
Thursday, though can't rule out some lingering showers and/or
thunderstorms, especially Thursday afternoon and evening with
another approaching mid-level shortwave along the front which should
generally be located along or south of the US-30 corridor. Heavy
rainfall will be possible with any precipitation on Thursday, given
PWATs around 1.8 inches and modest warm cloud depths, though at this
point, the better risk for excessive rainfall will be towards the
south across the Lower OH Valley.

Following Thursday, generally quiet and less humid weather is
appearing likely across the region as high pressure builds across
the Great Lakes. Temperatures will be near average, in the upper 70s
to lower 80s each day with dew points in the upper 50s to lower 60s.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z Monday THROUGH Friday/...
With a cold front to the northwest and a reasonably unstable air
mass in place across the region, a window for showers and
thunderstorms still exists through the first half of tonight
until the cold front clears the region. Based on current
observations and recent model trends, believe that convection
will uptick over southern Lower Michigan and Northwest Ohio over
the next hour or so and then move southeast through the
airspace. Have given best guess for TS timing and impacts ahead
of the cold front. Behind the front, suspect VFR conditions will
be favored with some low ceilings about. Monday will feature
clearing conditions and northwest flow becoming favored across
all TAF sites.

Outlook...Non-VFR possible in showers and thunderstorms on
Wednesday and Thursday.

&&

.MARINE...
Still anticipating enhanced 20 knot westerly flow to arrive behind a
cold front tonight, diminishing slightly closer to 15 knots and
shifting towards the northwest by Monday morning. Following Monday
morning, not anticipating any marine headlines until perhaps late
Wednesday behind another cold front as westerly winds of around 15
knots arrive.

Otherwise, wind gusts up to 60 mph are possible across the lake
later today, primarily in the late afternoon and evening hours
associated with strong to possibly severe thunderstorms.
