Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
1234 PM EST Wed Feb 8 2023
.SYNOPSIS...
A high pressure ridge builds eastward across our region today and
then begins to exit eastward tonight as a warm front approaches from
the Lower Mississippi and Lower Ohio Valleys. This warm front should
sweep northeastward across our region Thursday morning through early
afternoon and be followed quickly by an eastward cold front passage
Thursday afternoon through early evening as a potent low moves from
the Mid Mississippi Valley toward southwestern Quebec. In the wake
of the low, a trough should linger over the Great Lakes and vicinity
on Friday as a ridge builds gradually from the northern and central
Great Plains through Saturday.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
1000 AM Update...
Knocked a degree or two off the afternoon high temperatures
today. Dry as we await the strong low pressure system organizing
over the Mississippi Valley.
Original Discussion...
Fair weather graces our CWA today as a stabilizing high pressure
ridge at the surface and aloft builds E'ward from the Upper/Mid MS
Valley and western Great Lakes. Lingering low clouds continue
to move steadily toward the east and southeast, and should exit
the rest of our CWA by midday. Once daytime heating commences
later this morning, compensating subsidence should eventually
develop within the low-level cloud field and at least partially
erode the low clouds. Intervals of sunshine and low-level WAA
should allow late afternoon highs to reach the 40's to 50F.
The ridge exits E'ward tonight as a potent shortwave trough
advances from the south- central U.S. toward the western Great
Lakes and the accompanying/deepening surface low moves NE'ward
from the Ozarks toward Chicagoland. This will allow a surface
warm front to approach from the Lower MS Valley and eventually
the Mid OH Valley. Isentropic ascent along the upper-reaches of
the warm front amidst an impressive moisture feed from the Gulf
of Mexico should allow periods of light to moderate rain to
overspread our CWA from the southwest late this evening and
especially after midnight tonight. Lows should reach the 30's
around midnight tonight before temperatures moderate to the
upper 30's to lower 50's by daybreak Thursday as low-level WAA
strengthens ahead of the surface warm front. Of note, the low-
level atmospheric column is expected to be sufficiently-warm to
support plain rain as the surface precip type at the onset of
precip at any one location in our CWA (i.e. no snow, sleet
and/or freezing rain is expected).
On Thursday, the potent surface low should become occluded as it and
its parent shortwave trough/embedded mid- to upper-level low move
farther NE'ward toward Georgian Bay and become vertically-stacked.
This should allow the surface warm front to sweep NE'ward through
our CWA between about daybreak and early afternoon and be followed
quickly by an E'ward surface cold front passage during the early
afternoon through early evening. Despite a wealth of cloud cover,
including low clouds, daytime highs should reach the mid 50's to
lower 60's via strong low-level WAA ahead of the cold front. Periods
of rain, steady to heavy at times, are expected via very moist
isentropic ascent associated with the cyclone's warm conveyor belt
and via low-level convergence/moist ascent along the surface cold
front. SPC has included most of our OH counties in a marginal risk
of damaging convective gusts along and ahead of the cold front
given the expectation of a high shear/very low CAPE environment
in the warm sector, including S'erly to SW'erly flow as strong
as 40-65 knots at 925 mb, and the potential for surface-based
showers in the warm sector to transport most of that strong 925
mb flow down to the surface. However, models are in good
agreement that very limited sunshine and daytime heating will
greatly limit warm sector boundary layer destabilization, DCAPE
magnitudes, and the potential for damaging convective gusts. For
example, maximum magnitudes of SBCAPE are projected to be less
than 100 J/kg.
The High Wind Watch remains in effect for essentially the western-
quarter of our CWA, west of I-71. This is where peak S'erly to
SW'erly surface gusts of 55 mph or so are possible during the late
morning through early evening. However, much uncertainty remains
regarding the depth of convective mixing of the boundary layer via
daytime heating and magnitude of mean wind within the boundary
layer, which is often a good proxy for forecasting peak surface
gusts when diurnal convective mixing of the boundary layer taps into
stronger flow aloft. Confidence is increasing, though, that diurnal
convective mixing of the boundary layer will be deep enough to
support peak surface gusts of about 40-50 mph in most or all of
our CWA, which would require a Wind Advisory. Future shifts will
continue to monitor this potential.
&&
.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
Gusty winds will linger through Thursday evening, especially in the
north as surface low pressure tracks northeast across Lake Huron.
Temperatures behind the front will fall into the mid 30s which is
close to normal high temperatures for this point in February.
Models have come into good agreement with the handling of the
elongated upper level trough by Friday, showing a piece closing off
over the lower Mid-Mississippi Valley and allowing the northern
stream to move through faster. Moisture advection along the frontal
boundary appears limited for Friday with just some low chance pops
Friday afternoon. Pops are a little higher heading into Friday night
as we start to get a little better moisture from the upstream lakes
with the arrival of the cooler airmass, but overall precipitation
has trended downward. Light snow will be mostly confined to the
snowbelt with amounts of less than an inch. Mid-level moisture will
be gone by Saturday and models even show the low level moisture
scouring out with strong high pressure building overhead. Saturday
will be the cooler day of the weekend with temperatures in the mid
to upper 30s but will feel fairly comfortable if the clouds end up
clearing.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Upper level ridge builds overhead bringing more above normal
temperatures for the long term forecast period. Surface high
pressure maintains dry weather Sunday into Monday with temperatures
trending back above normal again. A trough will swing across the
Great Lakes Monday night but precipitation chances look very low
given minimal moisture. Despite weak post frontal cold advection,
the ridge will start to build again by Tuesday with temperatures
warming back up into the low to mid 50s.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z Wednesday THROUGH Monday/...
A multifaceted low pressure system currently organizing over
the Mississippi Valley to the southwest will push northeastward
through the period providing a variety of weather impacts for
the aviation forecast.
Rain overspreads generally south to north after 05Z Thursday.
Prior to and after rain onset, expect ceilings to gradually
lower, but will mainly be dealing with an MVFR scenario as the
lower levels of the atmosphere saturate. Very strong low level
and surface winds should be expected with this system and will
see these increases taking place shortly after precipitation
onset. Prior to gusts occurring in the wind group, have added a
short wind of low level wind shear as the system approaches and
the winds off the surface ramp up considerably. This is prior to
any mixing taking place and a key component to the timing. Gusts
at the surface increase significantly after 12Z Thursday, and
35-45kts can eventually be expected at all terminals.
Outlook...Non-VFR expected with periods of primarily rain
Thursday evening through Friday. Non-VFR possible with periods
of rain mixing with and then changing to snow Friday night into
Saturday.

.MARINE...
Conditions will remain choppy on the far east end of Lake Erie
to start the morning but will improve quickly as high pressure
builds east across the region. Southwest winds will become light
then develop out of the east tonight as low pressure starts to
track out of the Mid-Mississippi Valley. Easterly winds of 10-20
knots will veer to the south on Thursday morning as a warm
front lifts north across the lake. As warm air overspreads the
cool waters, conditions will stabilize to some degree and limit
very strong winds associated with a low level jet from mixing
down. Winds ramp up to 30 knots on the western basin by late
afternoon then increase further to southwest at 30 to 40 knots
spreading east across Lake Erie through the evening. Have
expanded the Gale Watch to include the open waters east of
Vermilion beginning at 7 PM Thursday evening. Did not include
the nearshore waters in the Gale Watch but they will likely need
a Small Craft Advisory beginning around midday Thursday.
Low pressure will track northeast across Quebec on Friday with a
trough lagging on Lake Erie with decreasing southwest winds. A large
area of high pressure builds east across the region over the weekend
with generally good conditions and winds of 15 knots or less.
Ice continues to break up on Lake Erie with several days of above
normal temperatures this week. The above normal temperatures and
strong winds on Thursday will continue to disrupt the ice field and
may push floes out into the central part of the lake that was
previously ice free. People should stay off the ice this week.
