.SYNOPSIS...
A low pressure system will pass by to the north of the region
today dragging a cold front through the area. High pressure will
build into the Ohio Valley tonight through Tuesday night.
Another low pressure system will pass to the north the area on
Wednesday with cold frontal passage. High pressure will build
back over the Ohio Valley on Thursday.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
The general upper level weather pattern for much of this week
will be a fast paced storm track with strong westerly flow
aloft. There will be a several quick moving storm systems and
cold frontal passages that will track across our region this
week.
A shortwave upper level trough is currently over the upper
Great Lakes region this morning and will quick move eastward
today. There is a low pressure system near the southern portions
of Hudson Bay and a trailing cold front stretching down into
the Great Lakes this morning. This frontal will sweep through
the area today and mainly be a wind maker for our weather. This
southern portion of this front is limited on moisture and will
pass through mainly dry for most of the local area. There will
be a chance for a few rain showers across far NEOH and NWPA
later today. Any rainfall will be very light. The main weather
impact with this frontal passage today will be the uptick in
gusty winds. Southwesterly to westerly winds will increase later
this morning 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 35 mph very
possible. High temperatures will range from the lower to upper
50s today.
High pressure over the Central U.S. will build eastward into the
Ohio Valley tonight and dominate our weather through Tuesday
night. Fair weather and seasonable temperatures are expected on
Tuesday with highs back into the middle and upper 50s.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
The mid and upper level flow will continue to be zonal for the
midweek timeframe with strong westerlies aloft. Another fast
moving shortwave trough will track across the Upper Midwest and
Great Lakes region on Wednesday. At the surface, a low pressure
system will develop over the Upper Great Lakes on Wednesday and
track north of the area as it deepens. There will be a trailing
cold front that sweeps across the region late Wednesday. This
storm system will also be limited on moisture but scattered rain
showers will be possible for mainly northeast Ohio and northwest
Pennsylvania. Rainfall amounts will be very light with this
midweek system. Winds will increase again with this weather
system Wednesday into Wednesday night. During the day, southwest
winds will increase 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 35 mph. Winds
will become westerly to northwesterly behind the cold front
Wednesday evening. Ahead of front Wednesday, high temperatures
will climb into the lower and middle 60s.
High pressure over the Midwest will build into the Great Lakes
and Ohio Valley Wednesday night and Thursday. Fair weather is
expected on Thursday but temperatures will be a little cooler
with highs ranging from the lower to middle 50s.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
The model guidance indicates that a big change in our weather
pattern will develop this upcoming weekend. The weather pattern
will become unsettled and turning colder. The forecast guidance
is showing some run to run consistency on the overall pattern
development but timing and other details are still somewhat
uncertain at this time. We will start this pattern shift on
Friday with a developing upper level trough. A storm system and
developing surface low will track through the Upper Midwest and
Upper Great Lakes region Friday with a trialing cold front.
This front all sweep through with widespread rainfall for the
entire area. It may be possible for isolated thunder Friday
with the frontal passage. High temps will be in the lower 60s
Friday. Forecast guidance indicates that a large and deeper
upper level trough will carve out across the Great Lakes region
and much of the eastern U.S. this weekend. Another storms system
will develop around the base of this digging upper level trough
somewhere in the Ohio Valley and track into the Northeast U.S.
later this weekend. Another round of widespread rainfall is
looking increasingly likely this weekend followed colder
temperatures into early next week. We may see our first flakes
of the season and potentially even the first lake effect snow
too. Stay tuned!
&&
.AVIATION /06Z Monday THROUGH Friday/...
Clouds will gradually increase early this morning, with cigs
lowering to 5 to 8 thousand feet by mid morning through the
afternoon in much of north central and northeast Ohio and NW PA
as low pressure passing north of the Great Lakes drags the far
southern end of a cold front through our area. The bulk of the
area will stay dry with the frontal passage this afternoon, but
kept showers at KERI in the 15-20Z time period since deeper
moisture has the best chance to brush that area. VFR should
prevail through the afternoon as clouds remain at mid-level
heights, but cannot rule out a period of MVFR at KERI.
Confidence is just not high enough to put in the TAF. Clouds
will sharply decrease behind the front this evening as drier air
works in.
The biggest impact will be winds. Winds will become very gusty
ahead of the cold front by late this morning through the
afternoon, when WSW winds of 10-20 knots will gust to 20-30
knots. The strongest winds will be in NW Ohio and near the
lakeshore. Winds will turn W to WNW this evening and gradually
decrease.
Outlook...Non-VFR in showers and gusty winds are possible
Wednesday and Wednesday night and again on Friday.
&&
.MARINE...
Unsettled marine conditions are expected over the next several
days as several systems cross the local area.
West/southwest winds will increase ahead of a cold front
overnight tonight into Monday morning with sustained winds to
20 to 30 knots expected across the entire lake. The strongest
winds closer to 30 knots will be in the open waters east of the
Islands late Monday morning into the afternoon before stronger
winds develop closer to the lakeshore as northwest winds develop
behind the front Monday evening. There may be a brief period
Monday afternoon into Monday evening where winds in the eastern
basin reach gale force so have issued a Gale Watch for far
eastern open waters. Otherwise, Small Craft Advisories begin at
08Z/3 AM Monday morning and continue through Monday night with
advisories gradually ending from west to east Tuesday morning
through Tuesday evening as winds gradually diminish and waves
slowly subside.
The strong offshore winds in the western basin will likely cause
water levels to decrease Monday and guidance suggests that water
levels at Toledo will drop below the critical mark for safe
navigation, which is currently 2 inches below low water datum. A
Low Water Advisory has been issued for the western basin from
12Z/7 AM Monday to 03Z/10 PM Monday night.
There may be a brief lull in headlines before southwest winds
once again increase ahead of an approaching system Wednesday and
shift to the northwest behind a cold front Wednesday evening.
Winds become light and variable as high pressure builds over the
region Thursday, but headlines will likely be needed as yet
another system approaches the region late week into the weekend.
