Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
132 PM EDT Sat Apr 1 2023

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure over Lake Michigan will push east today and extend
a strong cold front across the area today. High pressure will
build in behind the system for Sunday. Low pressure will move
through the northern Great Lakes on Monday and extend a cold
front into the area Monday afternoon. This front will stall
across the area for Tuesday as the next system forms in the
central United States.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
920 AM Update...
Clear conditions continue this morning and will allow for
eventual surface based destabilization in the eastern half of
the CWA in a another severe weather potential forecast day. Most
of the instability will be above 850mb, and the convection will
not necessarily be reliant on the surface based CAPE, but the
insolation will work to feed the severe potential today. Low
level jet brings a secondary surge of low level moisture in this
morning with the 850mb dewpoints back above 0C. Plenty of wind
in the column along with some evaporative cooling potential at
the onset with dry air entrainment possible adding to the wind
threat. Best window remains late morning into late afternoon.

Original Discussion...
The region is almost entirely clear and should be dry over the
next several hours. With the clearing, winds should start mixing
down and wind gusts will increase across the area this morning.
The wind advisory is in effect for the entire area through 8 PM.

The main concern for today will be another round of severe
weather. The atmosphere ahead of the main cold front will have
several hours to recover. Temperatures should reach the lower
60s ahead of the front and instability will build, especially
across NE OH and NW PA. Meanwhile, a 60-70 mb 700 mb jet will
move into the region ahead of the cold front and the combination
of the two features should force more showers and thunderstorms
across the region with enough wind shear to allow for an
organized damaging wind threat. The best window for storms will
be Noon to 4 PM. With the system just a touch slower and some
more recovery time in the region, the SPC Slight Risk has been
expanded west to include much of the Cleveland, Akron, and
Canton metros with the Marginal Risk getting to I-71.

Some rain will linger behind the storms through the evening
hours with the cold air advection over Lake Erie and some rain
may even change into some wet snowflakes. The system moves out
tonight and expect dry weather into Sunday as high pressure
quickly builds into the region. Lows tonight will chill into the
upper 20s and highs on Sunday will be cooler in the 40s to near
50.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
High pressure exits east Sunday night as surface low pressure moves
toward the northern Great Lakes region. This low will lift a warm
front north across our area. The low pressure will continue to glide
eastward, remaining north of the forecast area but will swing a cold
front from west to east across the CWA Monday evening into early
Tuesday. A secondary low pressure will eject from the Rockies on
Tuesday leading to the aforementioned cold front to become stationary
by Tuesday morning before lifting north as a warm front late
Tuesday.

PoPs will gradually increase throughout the short term forecast
period. Models are continuing to hint at increased instability on
Tuesday afternoon, characterized by MUCAPE values between 500-1000
J/kg. It looks like the best instability on Tuesday will remain to
our south and west, but we will need to continue to monitor over the
next few days. For now have kept thunder mentioned for Tuesday
night/early Wednesday morning.

Lows Sunday night range from the low-mid 30s across NW PA with mid
40s elsewhere. Highs Monday in the low 60s with lows in the 40s.
Highs on Tuesday will flirt with with 70, especially for those south
of US 30, with warm overnight lows on Tuesday in the mid 50s to low
60s ahead of the cold front.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
The low pressure that ejected from the Rockies will move northward
into the upper Midwest. This low will swing a cold front west to
east across the CWA during the day Wednesday. Some model discrepancy
in instability Wednesday afternoon with the GFS indicating up to
1500 J/kg of MUCAPE and the Euro and Canadian lower and closer to
500 J/kg of MUCAPE. For now, kept thunder mentioned in the forecast
but this event will need to continue to be monitored with each
forecast update. High pressure builds behind this system giving us
dry weather to end the week.

Temperatures will decrease throughout the long term with highs on
Wednesday in the low to mid 70s. Cooler on Thursday and Friday with
highs hovering around 50 degrees.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z Saturday THROUGH Thursday/...
Convection exiting with MVFR stratus in wrap around moisture
from the northwest filtering into the western terminals. This
will continue to spread east and southeast over the first 6
hours of the forecast. Patchy light rain also expected, but will
keep the visibilities at VFR despite the precipitation. Winds
will ease gradually through the forecast as well, eventually
coming down below 12kts after 03Z Sunday for the western
terminals and after 06Z Sunday for the eastern terminals.

Outlook...Non-VFR possible in rain on Monday and Tuesday.

&&

.MARINE...
Confidence for sustained gales on Lake Erie has decreased therefore
the Gale Watch has been cancelled and Small Craft Advisories have
been extended. Sustained winds in excess of 30 knots remain likely
on Lake Erie Saturday afternoon and evening. Have Small Craft
Advisories for all nearshore zones of Lake Erie through late
tonight/early Sunday morning.

Southwest winds 15-25 knots persist through late this morning before
winds shift and become more westerly by this afternoon. Winds
increase to 25-30 knots with the potential for winds in excess of 30
knots. Westerly winds become northwesterly and diminish to 15-20
knots by late tonight. Given onshore flow, waves in excess of 5 feet
will persist until early Sunday morning.

Winds become southeasterly at 10 knots or less by Sunday evening
with quiet marine conditions through mid week. Next time frame to
watch for will be Wednesday as strong southerly flow returns to the
area.
