What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this beach hazards statement went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Cleveland, OH wrote its last area forecast discussion before this beach hazards statement went out at Aug 18, 1:58 AM EDT, 1 hour 57 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 18, 1:58 AM EDT, 1 hour 57 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Cleveland OH 158 AM EDT Sun Aug 18 2024 .SYNOPSIS... Low pressure over lower Michigan will drift east to Lake Ontario by Sunday evening as a trailing cold front slowly crosses the area tonight. High pressure will build over the region in the early to mid-week period. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/... 10:10 PM Update: Any hazardous convection capable of producing flash flooding and/or severe weather has exited. Unsettled weather will continue the rest of the weekend as the closed/stacked low drifts through the Great Lakes, with some lake enhanced showers expected to begin developing and pushing east-southeast off the lake tonight into early Sunday. Scattered to numerous showers and some thunder will fill in elsewhere into Sunday. Previous Discussion: Convective activity has increased this afternoon and will persist until about 00Z with some decrease thereafter. Effective wind shear of 20-25 knots with MLCAPE of 1500-2000 J/KG will allow the activity to continue with some potential for strong to severe wind and perhaps marginally severe hail mainly east of I-71. Areas of heavy rain are likely along the lakeshore where storms persist especially from Conneaut east into Erie County PA. The region will be dominated by a slow moving low pressure over the eastern Great Lakes through Sunday night. Somewhat of a hybrid synoptic/lake enhanced rain event is expected. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms can be expected with peak activity being diurnally driven in the afternoon and be mainly north of US Route 30 and east of I-71. The heaviest rainfall will be in the lakeshore counties from CLE east to ERI where 1-2.5" is possible with repeated activity. More stable and drier air will filter into the region later Sunday night. Lows tonight will be in the 60s with readings about 5 degrees cooler Sunday night. Highs on Sunday will be in the 70s. && .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... Surface low pressure and associated deep upper level trough will continue to exit the Great Lakes region to the east on Monday. Broad scale northwesterly flow, lingering low level moisture, and cooler air aloft over a warm lake will allow for lingering lake enhanced rain showers to persist early Monday morning through the afternoon across Northeast Ohio and Northwest Pennsylvania. Large scale subsidence under Canadian high pressure will allow for dry and quiet conditions across the region through the remainder of the short term period. Northerly flow through the short term will keep temperatures below normal in the low to mid 70s for highs and upper 40s to lower 50s for overnight lows. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... Quiet and dry weather will continue through the long term period as the aforementioned high pressure gradually builds eastward across the Great Lakes region and into the Mid Atlantic region through the long term. Afternoon high temperatures during the period will begin in the mid-70s while gradually warming to the mid 80s by Saturday. Overnight low temperatures follow a similar trend as they begin near 50 degrees Wednesday night before settling in the mid to upper 60s by Friday night. && .AVIATION /06Z Sunday THROUGH Thursday/... Only isolated showers remain over Lake Erie currently, with some isolated to scattered possible over the next few hours in far Northeast Ohio and Northwest Pennsylvania as the cold front continues to move east across the area. Low stratus is expected to develop over the next few hours with at least low MVFR areawide and areas of IFR ceilings. IFR is most likely in the typical central to east-central Ohio TAF sites such as KMFD, KCAK, and KYNG. Any locations that do deteriorate to IFR conditions should improve back to MVFR by mid-morning, with all locations to VFR by 17-19Z as the stratus transitions to a cumulus field with ceilings of 3500-5000 ft ceilings. Isolated to scattered showers develop by mid-morning with showers becoming more numerous in the afternoon/evening hours. It's probable that there will be at least isolated embedded thunderstorms within the numerous rain showers, however there just wasn't enough confidence to target any particular area or time with TSRA or VCTS. For now, went with long duration VCSH for most TAF sites. Showers become less likely after sunset. By this evening and tonight, MVFR ceilings are likely to develop areawide, with some IFR ceilings possible along and east of I-71 after ~05Z. Light winds out of the west and southwest strengthen to 8-12 knots during the afternoon hours. Winds gradually veer with time, becoming more northwest by this afternoon and tonight. Outlook...Non-VFR possible in showers and thunderstorms through Monday mainly in the afternoon and early evening. Widespread non-VFR appears most likely in low ceilings Sunday night into Monday. && .MARINE... Upper level low persists over the Great Lakes region through the weekend while a surface low drags a cold front east through early Sunday morning. Southwest winds 10 to 15 knots will keep wave heights offshore and below 3 feet through the rest of today and into Sunday afternoon. Winds turn northwesterly while increasing to 15-20 knots by late Sunday afternoon and 15-25 knots by Sunday evening. This will allow for wave heights to build to 3-6 feet. Expect for winds and waves to be above small craft criteria late Sunday night through Tuesday afternoon/evening with a Small Craft Advisory and Beach Hazards Statement likely needed through that time period. Lingering surface troughing will persist across Lake Erie through Monday morning before high pressure builds overhead Monday into Tuesday. The high will allow for northerly winds to decrease to 10- 15 knots by Tuesday night. As the high builds east across the Great Lakes region through next week, generally easterly winds behind the aforementioned cold front will continue into Friday. The aforementioned surface troughing coupled with cooler 850 mb temperatures and a warm lake surface temperature will create an environment favorable for waterspouts to develop from tonight through the weekend. && .CLE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
