What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this special weather statement 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 special weather statement went out at Mar 6, 3:36 AM EST, 1 hour 14 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 6, 3:36 AM EST, 1 hour 14 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
336 AM EST Sun Mar 6 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
Cold front moves through this morning/early afternoon and stalls
near our southeastern zones of the CWA. Low pressure to the
southwest moves towards the southern Great Lakes and lifts the
front back into the area as a warm front tonight. The low
pressure system and next trailing cold front finally exits later
in the day Monday. High pressure into midweek with a possible
dry cold front Wednesday. Next low pressure system/cold front
Friday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
Plenty to watch this morning as convection has rapidly entered the
western CWA with the areal coverage of this first wave increasing
and will probably need to redo the immediate term POPs in the next
morning update as convection evolves. Some lightning evident as the
lift is utilizing some of the off the surface CAPE. With showers now
at FDY and TOL, not seeing to much yet in terms of wind being mixed
to the surface, but will need to keep an eye on that. Cold front is
still probably back in Illinois just west of the Indiana border.
Meanwhile, convection in the second line is much more robust and
back a punch ahead of the cold front. Will need to see how this also
evolves as it tracks into the region now with the preceding shower
activity which could rob what little CAPE is out there.

Further into the daytime today, most of the POPs should be gone
after 15Z or so, but the cold front will probably stall along the
southeastern zones with another center of low pressure forming along
the cold front over the Ozarks. Should be dry across the CWA for a
few hours before the f-gen pushes back in. NAM is probably too far
north with the returning warm front and take it just north of the
area, and have kept the axis of highest precip north of the boundary
over the southern zones. Expecting efficient rain with the rather
strong f-gen values in the mid levels with column saturation for
several hours 06-12Z Monday. Low pressure/frontal boundary finally
pushes through 18Z Monday with cold air advection and upper trough
axis/post frontal moisture eventually giving some wet snow mixed in
with isolated to scattered showers in its wake.

Some record highs possible today at places like YNG especially with
morning temperatures likely starting off in the mid 60s. Shower
activity early may have something to say about this, but could get
brief clearing later in the morning before the actual cold front
comes through. As mentioned at the beginning, may have to rework
some of these forecast grids before the night shift ends this
morning.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
By 00Z Tuesday, the main upper-level trough axis will be situated
over the local forecast area, with a second trough moving southeast
across the Great Lakes region Monday night into Tuesday morning. The
passage of the first trough axis will result in northwest flow
through the lowest 200mb of the atmosphere. With 850 temperatures
down to around -10 C, marginal lake-induced instability of around
100 J/kg should be sufficient for at least some scattered lake
effect snow showers across the snowbelt Monday night. Marginal
parameters should only lead to a dusting to at most an inch of snow
by Tuesday morning. High pressure from the central Great Plains
works its way across the Ohio Valley on Tuesday, located over the
east coast by Wednesday morning. Temperatures on Tuesday are
expected to remain slightly below normal with the cool airmass in
place. As high pressure moves off to the east on Wednesday,
southerly winds develop and likely recover the airmass, leading to
slightly above normal temperatures.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Quiet weather continues Thursday as we remain between weather
systems. Temperatures continue to trend up for Thursday with highs
continuing to be above normal. Our next upper-level trough and
associated low pressure system impacts our area sometime between
Thursday night and Saturday, with significant variability in the
track and timing of the large-scale pattern with this system, with
major implications on precipitation type for this system. Right now,
ensemble systems are leaning towards rain on Friday, with a
transition to snow Friday night and lake effect snow on Saturday.
Accumulating snow is in the realm of possibility but with the amount
of variability in model data right now, it's very difficult to
determine how much and where.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z Sunday THROUGH Thursday/...
LLWS in place until showers mix the lower layers of the
atmosphere. Some thunder possible in these initial lines of
convection coming through over the next few hours for the
western terminals. Winds gust to 40kts possibly near and with
frontal passage which is expected between 12-18Z, and will stay
elevated for a few hours in the wake of the cold front. Wind
gusts should diminish rapidly after 00Z Monday. For CLE and the
30hr forecast, rain moves back in with a low pressure center
moving along the frontal boundary and IFR conditions expected to
form.

Outlook...Areas of non-VFR in rain Monday, and then in snow
showers late Monday night.

&&

.MARINE...
Southerly winds will give way to southwest winds winds this morning
as a strong cold front approaches. Peak wind speeds are expected
late this morning through the early afternoon hours, when periodic
winds to gale-force are expected. The cold front moves across the
lake late this morning through the early afternoon, with winds
rapidly diminishing mid-afternoon onward, with wind speeds less than
10 knots by midnight. This cold front settles south of Lake Erie
with another low pressure moving northeast along this front across
the Ohio Valley. High pressure builds across the area Tuesday and
Wednesday, resulting in generally light winds.
