Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
429 PM EST Thu Jan 19 2023

.SYNOPSIS...
An occluded front extending from low pressure over Michigan
will move east across the area this evening. This area of low
pressure will move across the eastern Great Lakes overnight and
off the East Coast on Friday. High pressure will build in from
the northwest for Saturday with the next area of low pressure
expected to move through the Tennessee and Ohio Valleys on
Sunday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
Severe Thunderstorm Watch #26 remains in effect until 7 PM for
portions of northwest and north central Ohio. Stay tuned for a
possible expansion to the lakeshore or farther east depending on
storm evolution and strength. Considerable clearing occurred this
afternoon ahead of an occluded front located along the Indiana/Ohio
state line as of 4 PM. This has allowed temperatures to warm into
the mid and upper 50s with dewpoints in the low to mid 40s. 20Z SPC
mesoanalysis shows only around 100 J/kg of ML CAPE with weak CIN
still in place across NW Ohio. This is also evident off a special
19Z sounding out of ILN which contains a lot of dry air but with
less favorable surface dewpoints in SW Ohio in the mid 30s due
to considerable mixing this afternoon.

Thus far this afternoon, an area of rain has developed upstream in
Indiana with embedded convection. There have been a few reports of
hail up to nickel size and wind gusts of 45-60 mph. Some reports
of wind damage are also starting to come in across southern
Indiana. As we head into the evening, large scale forcing is
expected to become more favorable as a fairly compact upper
level trough continues to pivot northeast into NW Ohio. 700mb
omega fields are maximized from west central Ohio to north
central Ohio in the 21-00Z time frame. Although convection has
not looked impressive yet, a severe weather threat remains given
a very strong wind field moving into the area. An 850mb jet of
nearly 50 knots is going to align from west central Ohio across
southern portions of our forecast area and it will not take
much to get gusts of 50 or even 60 knots down to the surface.
The lack of low level moisture will keep LCL heights a little
higher and reduce the tornado potential. A low end tornado
threat remains with storms exhibiting some rotation but more
concerned that any stronger cells that could bring down pockets
of damaging winds or hail to ping pong ball size. If a linear
feature does not develop, then wind damage may be more isolated
than previously thought but if the line does fill in then
coverage of damage will be higher. Given that it is January the
airmass is favorable for large hail with freezing levels around
5K feet and -20C around 15.5K feet. Mid-level lapse rates also
steepen to 7-8C through the evening as the cold pool aloft wraps
in from the west.

Following the convection this evening, low pressure will move pass
north of Lake Erie and move towards Lake Ontario by morning. Flow
behind the front will remain elevated through the evening with gusts
of 35-45 mph. Cold advection will be sufficient that lingering
precipitation may eventually mix with or change over to snow by
morning. We will stay in a cool northwest flow through Friday
but 850mb temperatures are only forecast to fall to -8 to -11C.
This is not cool enough for pure lake effect and we will also
see gaps in the moisture through 700mb. Scattered light snow
showers are possible area wide with better coverage expected
across the snowbelt and eastern portions of the area. The
forecast does include some light accumulations although these
will probably struggle during the afternoon on Friday with
temperatures in the low to mid 30s. Accumulations will mainly
be focused over the higher terrain with 1-3" in parts of the
Ohio snowbelt and 2-5" in Pennsylvania. Have decided not to
issue any headlines at this time but can not rule out needing
one for inland Erie County if the deeper moisture aligns for
longer than expected.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
An upper level ridge is expected to build east across the area with
a resultant surface high pressure center Saturday. As this high
builds into the area, residual west to east lake effect snow bands
should gradually dissipate as flow shifts around to the southwest
by Saturday afternoon.

The respective ridge and high pressure features should move east of
the area Saturday night and Sunday as upper level low moves
southeast toward the area. This system should force coastal
cyclogenesis to take place  over the Carolinas and the low will move
northeast through Sunday night. This should result in moisture
streaming back northwest toward the upper low center from the
coastal low and bring a swath of precipitation to the region late
Saturday night into Sunday and Sunday night.

The air mass associated with this progressive pattern is not
expected to be extremely cold or mild through this period. Actually,
temperatures should be fairly steady in the lower to upper 30s
through each period.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Progressive upper level pattern expected to continue through this
forecast period as a series of fast moving upper level shortwaves
and ridges move east across the Lower 48 states.  A brief period of
fair weather returns early Tuesday in response to upper level and
surface ridge. A cold front should move southeast across the area
and become nearly stationary by Wednesday morning.  Another round of
of precipitation in the form of rain/snow should move into the area
in association with the front and rapidly deepening surface low
pressure expected to move northeast toward the area in response to
a potent upper level low.  The rain/snow mix should transition over
to all snow by Wednesday night and then lake effect by Thursday.

Temperatures during this period relatively stable with highs in the
30s and lows in the 20s.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z Thursday THROUGH Tuesday/...
Skies have cleared across much of the area early this afternoon
with the exception being far NW Ohio and NE Ohio/NW
Pennsylvania. Clearing should reach YNG but may not reach ERI
in the east and only a short window of clearing at TOL. Later
this afternoon we are awaiting the arrival of an occluded front
that will sweep in from Indiana. This front is expected to
contain a line of showers with potentially scattered
thunderstorms. In addition, brief heavy rainfall and strong wind
gusts are possible. If thunderstorms develop, winds may gust in
excess of 50 knots at FDY, MFD, and CAK. If thunderstorms do not
develop, showers alone could bring down winds gusting to 35-40
knots anyways at those terminals and sites farther north. We
expect conditions to deteriorate as the front arrives with IFR
likely. IFR ceilings are likely to persist at most locations
overnight as surface low pressure reaches the eastern Great
Lakes and wrap around moisture remains. Scattered showers may
linger behind the front, mainly across the north and east.

Breezy southwest winds with gusts to 25 knots are possible at
most terminals this afternoon ahead of the cold front. Gusty
west southwest are also expected behind the front and may reach
as high as 25-35 knots for a period of time tonight.

As the airmass cools, can not rule out the chance for rain to
mix with or change over to snow at ERI towards dawn and into
Friday AM. Timing will need to be refined on the change over.

Outlook...Snow showers will allow for periods of non-VFR
through Friday night or Saturday morning, especially in
northeast OH and northwest PA. Non-VFR possible with
precipitation Sunday into Monday.

&&

.MARINE...
An occluded front is expected to move east across the area this
evening and gradient behind the front will tighten up.  Winds should
increase to 15 to 25 knots across the lake tonight and small craft
advisory already posted will remain in effect. Otherwise, a gradual
diminish to westerly at 10 knots or less expected to take place
Friday night into Saturday. Otherwise, fairly light and variable
flow is expected on the lake through Sunday.  However, as low
pressure moves up the east coast and surface high pressure builds in
from the west, gradient should increase resulting in increasing
winds across the lake from the northwest Monday to the southwest
Tuesday.

&&

PA...None.
