Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
755 PM EDT Thu Jul 20 2023

.SYNOPSIS...
A strong cold front will cross the region late this evening as
low pressure tracks into the eastern Great Lakes tonight. A
trough will linger over the region Friday before high pressure
builds in Friday night and Saturday. Another cold front will
approach late Sunday into Monday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
Squall line continues to sag southward with hail and strong
winds expected to continue into the southern CWA. Heavy rain has
caused some flooding issues. Strong convection moving across
western OH may clip the southern CWA MArion to MOunt Vernon.
Will continue to monitor closely. These southern storms have a
good chance of rotating.

Previous Discussion...
A severe weather outbreak remains on track this evening with
the potential for widespread damaging winds (biggest threat),
large hail, a couple of brief spin up tornadoes, torrential
rainfall, and vivid lightning. Current satellite and water vapor
loops show a well defined mid/upper shortwave trough crossing
into lower Michigan with an impressive H3 jet streak of 80-90
knots rotating around the base of the shortwave. This favorable
left exit region is aiding in vigorous convective development
over southern Michigan into northern Indiana where regional
radar loops shows a deepening and expanding squall line of
strong to severe thunderstorms. This line is moving into an
increasingly favorable environment as strong warm/moist
advection in response to the increasing upper divergence pulls
rich low-level moisture northeastward (low 70s dew points)
beneath a well established plume of steep mid-level lapse rates
(7 to 7.5 C/Km). This has already led to a large area of strong
instability over northern Ohio and the Lake Erie area
characterized by MLCAPE of 2500- 3000 J/Kg, and SBCAPE of
3500-4000 J/Kg. There has been widespread clearing behind the
first wave of convection that formed in far NE Ohio and NW PA
(which was tied to the moisture/theta e gradient), so expect
some additional surface heating and destabilization ahead of the
organizing QLCS. As the mid/upper shortwave crosses the
southern Great Lakes this evening, the very favorable dynamics
combined with the aforementioned thermodynamics will lead to the
line further strengthening and maturing as it crosses northern
Ohio and NW PA ahead of the trailing cold front. Strong westerly
deep layer and effective shear values of 40-50 knots combined
with shear vector orientation mostly perpendicular to the line
supports widespread damaging winds as the main threat, including
swaths of 75+ mph gusts due to bows and surges in the line.
These bows and surges will also likely lead to a couple of brief
QLCS tornadoes, and 0-3 Km shear values over 30 knots and
vectors mostly perpendicular to the line certainly support this.
For these reasons, the 2% tornado and 30% wind risks in the
SWODY1 continue to look very reasonable. Large hail is most
likely in NW Ohio late this afternoon where convection is still
semi discrete. HREF guidance shows 30 to 50% chances for updraft
helicity in this area which indicates mid-level mesocyclone
generation, and this coupled with the steep mid-level lapse
rates could generate swaths of 1 to 2 inch diameter hail.
However, the veering and strengthening low-level jet this
evening will solidify the QLCS and allow the wind threat to
dominate farther east, but some hail up to 1 inch is possible
anywhere.

In terms of timing, latest radar and CAMS indicate that the
convection should reach the I-75 corridor including TOL and FDY
around 21Z, the I-71 and I-77 corridors including CLE, MFD, and CAK
between 22 and 2330Z, and far eastern Ohio and western PA including
ERI and YNG between 2330 and 0030Z. These could be give or take an
hour depending on the degree of cold pool organization which will
influence how rapidly the line propagates. Stay safe this evening,
and have multiple ways to receive warnings in case the power goes
out.

The shortwave trough will continue eastward toward the eastern Great
Lakes tonight while becoming negatively tilted as it swings across
New England during the day Friday. This will allow the system to
occlude as the surface low lifts across the Saint Lawrence Valley
Friday morning and becomes stacked beneath the trough as the cold
front surges to the east coast by mid day. Drier air initially
behind the line of convection tonight should bring mainly dry
conditions to all areas by 04 or 05Z, but a surge of wraparound
moisture and surface trough will bring a few showers back to NE Ohio
and NW PA in the 09 to 14Z timeframe. Some of these isolated showers
could linger in NW PA through mid afternoon Friday before broad
surface high pressure building in from the western Great Lakes leads
to clearing skies and dry conditions everywhere by Friday evening.
This high will continue to build in Friday night.

Highs Friday will be refreshingly cooler and less humid with
mid/upper 70s expected. Lows tonight will dip into the low/mid 60s
with upper 50s/low 60s Friday night.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
High pressure should keep the region dry SAturday into Saturday
night. The next upper level trough moves overhead by Sunday
afternoon with increased chances of showers and thunderstorms. These
thunderstorms peak Sunday evening then decrease after midnight.
Temperatures should be near to slightly below seasonal averages over
the weekend.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Showers and thunderstorms will be scattered across the region Monday
as an upper level trough crosses the region. A few
showers/thunderstorms likely linger into Tuesday as the trough
slowly moves east. As high pressure moves east of the region
Wednesday into Thursday it looks like some summer heat moves into
the region. Cant completely rule out isolated thunderstorms during
the afternoon and evening Wednesday and Thursday.

Seasonal temperatures anticipated Monday into Tuesday. Much warmer
Wednesday into Thursday with highs well into the 80. A few lower
90's possible.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z Friday THROUGH Tuesday/...
Squall line continues to sink southward across northern OH and
northwestern PA. IFR a definite in and near the thunderstorms.
Conditions improve briefly ahead of the cold front after the
convection moves south of the region. In the wake of the cold
front MVFR ceilings should develop. These clouds lift slowly
Friday morning

Winds outside of thunderstorms will be generally SW at 10-15
knots this evening becoming NW at 5-10 knots behind the cold
front late tonight and Friday morning.

Outlook...Non-VFR may return in isolated to scattered showers
and thunderstorms Sunday afternoon and Monday afternoon.

&&

.MARINE...
Cold front moves across the lake this evening into the overnight.
Strong to severe thunderstorms move across the lake ahead of the
cold front with gust in excess of 50 knots possible. Significant
lighting is also anticipated with the squall line that should
develop. So not a good night for boating on Lake Erie.

Northwest winds expected on the lake Friday in the wake of the cold
front. The slightly longer fetch at 15 knots or so may get waves to
approach 4 feet for the afternoon into the evening from Cleveland to
Ripley. High pressure takes control of the region Friday night, then
persists into Sunday night with overall light winds.

OH...None.
PA...None.
MARINE...None.
