Area forecast discussion, Sep 22, 7:41 PM EDT, 1 hour 57 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
741 PM EDT Fri Sep 22 2023

.SYNOPSIS...
Tropical Storm Ophelia will track up the Mid Atlantic coast
well to our east through Sunday while high pressure centered
over Ontario and Quebec persists through early next week. A low
pressure trough may swing through the area mid-week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
The local area will experience a squeeze play of sorts between
high pressure centered to our north over southern Canada and
Tropical Storm Ophelia tracking up into the Mid Atlantic through
Saturday night. The resulting weather will be on the quiet side,
though east-northeast breezes will be noticeable on Saturday
with gusts ramping up to 15-25 MPH in the afternoon, strongest
near Lake Erie where a few gusts as high as 30 MPH are possible.
A mainly clear and seasonable night is in store tonight with
lows ranging from the mid 40s to the mid 50s, warmest near Lake
Erie and coolest in more rural valleys or sheltered areas. Some
patchy fog can't be ruled out tonight, mainly in river valleys,
but with some dry air advection and modest breezes for most of
the night it shouldn't get more widespread than that. Highs on
Saturday will be several clicks cooler than today, generally in
the low to mid 70s. There will be more high-level clouds on
Saturday and they may become thick enough to turn fairly opaque
later in the day from far eastern OH into PA. Saturday night
looks to be a few degrees warmer than tonight across the board,
as there's improved agreement that there will be a fair amount
of higher clouds at the least, particularly from eastern OH into
PA. The gradient will also be tighter, so winds will have a
harder time dropping off. This forecast update has most
locations staying up in the 50s for lows Saturday night.

Do not have any mentionable POPs through Saturday night at this
point. Am confident in that through most of Saturday afternoon.
Later Saturday afternoon or early evening will bring an initial
push of mid-level moisture advection on the fringe of Ophelia
as far west as far eastern OH. The expectation is for modest
forcing and dry low levels to cause any rain with this initial
increase in mid-level moisture to dry out before it reaches our
area late Saturday, though this will be worth watching. Another
push of deeper moisture may near from the east/southeast
towards dawn Sunday. With all of this said, even if we do end up
needing to add POPs to our eastern counties for either
timeframe in future updates the QPF will be quite light.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
Strong surface high pressure over Hudson Bay and Quebec will
continue to be the dominant feature influencing our weather to start
the short term. Cloud cover will be on the increase from west to
east on Sunday as the remnants of Tropical Storm Ophelia move into
Maryland. The majority of the rainfall with this system will be well
east of our forecast area but can not rule out a few sprinkles or
light showers from Youngstown into NW Pennsylvania on Sunday. The
GFS is a little more moist than the NAM but will have to contend
with continued dry northeasterly flow at the surface. As Ophelia
moves north through the Mid-Atlantic region, we will maintain a
brisk northeasterly flow off Lake Erie with a tightening surface
pressure gradient between the remnant tropical system and high
pressure to the north. Temperatures trend cooler with areas east of
Interstate 71 primarily in the 60s. A thickening cloud field
continues right into Monday as easterly flow in the low and mid-
levels advects moisture west across the area. Have kept the daytime
dry during the day on Monday with this cycle with a general lack of
forcing between the remnant low to the east and trough moving into
the western Great Lakes but may need to consider bringing a chance
of rain in a little sooner based on timing of energy with the next
system.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Trough over the Upper Midwest will open and drift southeast through
the Ohio Valley through much of the extended as a blocking upper
level ridge remains across eastern Canada. This will result in a
persistent pattern of clouds and possible showers with temperatures
running slightly below normal. Best chances of rain will likely fall
in the Tuesday to Wednesday window as an inverted surface trough
nudges up into the Tennessee Valley but with discrepancies
between models could linger into Thursday. Raised pops slightly
with this forecast package but will wait to go much higher until
we can work out some of the details in timing. Clouds will
limit the diurnal range with highs generally in the upper 60s
and lows in the 50s.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z Saturday THROUGH Wednesday/...
VFR through the TAF period with some occasional high cirrus for
eastern TAF sites.

Broad easterly flow generally 6 knots or less tonight. Winds
shift more east-northeast on Saturday and increase a bit to 9
to 15 knots, with a few gusts up to 25 knots possible,
especially near Lake Erie.

Outlook...Non-VFR possible in isolated showers for far Northeast
Ohio and Northwest Pennsylvania Sunday night. Isolated to
scattered rain showers possible areawide Tuesday through
Wednesday.

&&

.MARINE...
Easterly winds will increase on Lake Erie to 10-20 knots this
evening as the gradient tightens between high pressure over New
England and broad low pressure moving into the Midwest. Winds will
become more southeasterly overnight, then increase out of the
northeast again on Saturday in response to a potential tropical
system developing over the coast and moving into the Carolinas.
Winds have trended upward over the weekend, reaching 15-25 knots
Saturday afternoon through Sunday. Waves are forecast to reach the 3-
7 foot range by mid to late afternoon on Saturday and Small Craft
Advisories and Beach Hazards will be needed east of the Islands,
given the onshore flow component.

Winds will tend to decrease Sunday night into Monday but remain
choppy, especially across the Central basin given the continued east
to northeast wind. This wind direction will continue through much of
next week as high pressure remains anchored over eastern Canada. An
area of low pressure is expected to move through the Tennessee
Valley mid-week and could result in another window of enhanced
winds.
