Severe Thunderstorm Warning 160, NWS Cleveland, OH

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
405 PM EDT Fri Aug 30 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will slowly move southeast across the area tonight
and Saturday before settling along the Ohio River by Sunday. A
large area of high pressure will build across the region Sunday
through the middle part of next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
Isolated to scattered thunderstorms have developed across north
central and northeast Ohio this afternoon, mainly focused near a
reservoir of up to 2000 j/kg of MLCAPE. Isolated damaging wind
gusts cannot be ruled out through early evening with DCAPE
values near 1200 j/kg, with some weak but increasing deep layer
shear into the evening hours as an increasing 850mb jet sinks
southward across the area. Some large hail cannot be completely
ruled out with any increasing shear however damaging winds are
the primary threat. Severe chances should decrease with convective
overturning of the boundary layer and diurnal stabilization
over the next few hours.

A lull in convective coverage is expected overnight before the
cold front upstream sinks southward into the area, with
isolated/scattered showers and a few storms possible along/with
the front late overnight into the day on Saturday. Coverage
should increase a bit through the late morning into the
afternoon with the front continuing to push south through the
area. A few strong to severe storms again cannot be ruled out
with better forcing and deep layer shear, although the timing of
the front and building instability may favor the best chances
for severe thunderstorms just south and east of the forecast
area. The current SPC Day 2 severe weather outlook has a
marginal risk clipping the southeast portion of the forecast
area, with a slight risk centered east of the forecast area
touching Mahoning county.

Once the front pushes south of the area late Saturday/Saturday
night, mainly dry conditions expected across the area. Lows
tonight will be in the mid 60s to low 70s. Highs Saturday will
be cooler in the low to mid 80s. Lows Saturday night will be in
the upper 50s to low 60s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
An upper trough with a reinforcing cold front will move through
the Great Lakes region on Sunday. These features will support a
low end rain chance as there will be plenty of lift across the
region but probably not enough moisture to present a widespread
rain threat, but just likely some clouds across the region.
Canadian high pressure will build into the area behind the front
and conditions should be generally stable with cold air
advection across the region. There could be just enough moisture
and lake induced instability with the colder air across the
region to allow for some lake clouds on Monday, but rain chances
are looking generally low. Areas may squeak out some low 80s on
Sunday before the reinforcing cold front moves through the
region. Temperatures will dive to well below normal for Monday
with highs in the 70s.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
High pressure will be in control of the region for much of the week
and allow for a long period of dry weather. Temperatures on Tuesday
will remain below normal in the 70s. The surface high will shift
east for Wednesday and return flow across the region will allow for
temperatures to increase back toward normal in the 80s for Wednesday
and Thursday. The next upper level trough will enter the region on
Friday for the weekend and bring the next chance of showers and
thunderstorms to the area. Given slight timing differences will only
introduce some low PoPs at this time.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z Friday THROUGH Wednesday/...
Mainly VFR conditions expected through much of the period as a
warm front lifts north of the terminals at the onset of the
period. Scattered TSRA possible ahead of a cold front that moves
southeast across the terminals tonight into Saturday. Some MVFR
ceilings cannot be ruled out with the cold front toward the end
of the period. Coverage may increase a bit Saturday at
southeast terminals (KCAK, KMFD, KYNG) but coverage expected to
be scattered enough to preclude prevailing TS mention at the
moment. Light winds expected, generally 10 kts or less outside
TSRA, through the period, with southwest flow at the onset
becoming variable overnight and westerly behind the cold front
near the end of the period.

Outlook...VFR expected.

&&

.MARINE...
Winds across Lake Erie are east to northeast on the north side of a
warm front. These will continue over the next several hours until a
cold front approaches the lake tonight. The cold front will cross
the lake overnight into Saturday and allow for winds to shift to the
west. There will be a window of backing flow on Saturday with
southwest winds returning and strengthening with the pressure
gradient. A secondary cold front will cross the lake on Sunday ahead
of a high pressure system and winds will veer to the northwest then
north. There will be some stronger onshore flow with this frontal
passage and there could be the need for a brief Small Craft
headline. High pressure will be in control across the region for
much of next week with northerly flow on Monday and then backing to
offshore flow on Tuesday and Wednesday.
