23What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river flood warning 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 river flood warning went out at May 5, 10:53 PM EDT, 3 hours 25 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 5, 10:53 PM EDT, 3 hours 25 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Cleveland OH 1053 PM EDT Mon May 5 2025 ...00z TAF Aviation and Near Term Forecast Update... .SYNOPSIS... Upper level low pressure will remain over the region on Tuesday then depart to the east on Wednesday. A cold front will settle south across the area Wednesday night. High pressure will build south across the Great Lakes to the Ohio Valley Thursday through Saturday. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... 830 pm update... We will keep this forecast update short due to ongoing strong to severe convection ongoing in the area and over the lake. We will let the Severe Storm Watch expire at 9 pm. The severe weather threat has mostly come to an end for this evening. We can't rule out an isolated strong storm through the rest of the evening. The overall trend will be a gradual decrease in the coverage and intensity of the showers and heavier convection through the overnight hours. We may see additional fog development Previous discussion... Upper level low continues to spin over the Ohio Valley with an inverted surface trough extending from West Virginia to Northeast Ohio. We had one round of thunderstorms already this afternoon move out of Pennsylvania across northeast Ohio. A more vigorous round of thunderstorms are possible through the evening as a shortwave rotates north around the upper low and cold pool pivots north. Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been issued for a portion of Central and Eastern Ohio until 9 PM tonight. Given the proximity to the cold pool aloft and low freezing levels, large hail is the primary concern with thunderstorms. Damaging winds remain a concern as well and some storms have also exhibited some weak rotation. Temperatures are in the low 70s across east central Ohio but drop off quickly to the north and west. The watch does not extend to the lakeshore given the lower instability and some CIN across the northern tier. However dewpoints have also mixed out some across east central Ohio and ML CAPE only peaks around 500 J/kg at 4 PM. Effective bulk shear of 30-40 knots will help to make up for what we lack in instability to maintain organized convection. So far we have received just a couple hail reports ranging from half inch to an inch. The other concern for this evening is heavy rain as storms have been producing efficient rainfall with training possible. Portions of Northeast Ohio and Northwest Pennsylvania have had between 1 to 2 inches of rain between last night and this afternoon. Showers and thunderstorms will generally dissipate and exit north by midnight. The exception to this will be in NW Ohio where moisture continues to wrap back around the western side of upper level low. Rain is expected overnight then wraps east across the area again through the day on Tuesday. This will bring another quarter to a half inch of rain especially across the southern half of the forecast area but showers are likely everywhere. Tuesday will be cooler given the coverage of showers and clouds. Finally on Tuesday night the upper level low shifts east into New York and Pennsylvania. Showers will end from west to east and conditions will start to dry out. && .SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... During Wednesday through Wednesday night, a nearly vertically- stacked low at the surface and aloft is expected to move ENE'ward from the Upper Saint Lawrence River Valley and vicinity toward the Canadian Maritimes. In addition, a shortwave trough is expected to approach our region as it moves SE'ward from northern ON to near the southwestern and central Great Lakes. The aforementioned low track is still expected to allow a surface cold front to sweep SE'ward across our CWA on Wednesday. Behind the cold front, a surface ridge builds from the Upper Midwest through Wednesday night. Low-level convergence/moist ascent along the front and moist isentropic ascent ahead of the shortwave trough axis may trigger isolated rain showers in northern OH and NW PA on Wednesday through Wednesday night. Intervals of sunshine and weak low-level WAA ahead of the cold front should allow highs to reach the 60's to lower 70's late Wednesday afternoon. Weak low-level CAA behind the cold front should contribute to lows reaching the mid 40's to lower 50's around daybreak Thursday. The aforementioned shortwave trough should continue to approach our CWA from the northwest Thursday morning. Its axis should begin to drift SE'ward across our region Thursday afternoon and near a Erie, PA to Mount Vernon, OH line by daybreak Friday. Isolated showers remain possible amidst moist isentropic ascent ahead of the trough axis aloft. Behind the shortwave trough axis, a ridge aloft builds slowly from the north-central United States. At the surface, the aforementioned ridge will continue to build from the Upper Midwest and western Great Lakes through daybreak Friday. Continued weak low- level CAA will contribute to late afternoon highs reaching the mid 50's to lower 60's late Thursday afternoon, despite intervals of sunshine, and overnight lows reaching the 40's around daybreak Friday. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... On Friday, the above-mentioned shortwave trough axis is expected to exit SE'ward from the rest of our region by nightfall. Very isolated rain showers remain possible amidst moist isentropic ascent ahead of this shortwave trough axis aloft. Otherwise, the above-mentioned ridge at the surface and aloft is expected to impact our region as the core of the surface ridge moves from near the central Great Lakes to near Lake Erie and the Delmarva Peninsula, and the core of the ridge aloft moves from near the Upper MS Valley and northern Great Lakes to near Lake Erie and the Delmarva Peninsula. Stabilizing subsidence accompanying the ridge will promote mainly fair weather in our region. However, on Saturday, a weakening shortwave trough may ripple generally E'ward through the ridge aloft and allow the attendant/weakening surface trough axis to reach NW OH during the afternoon hours of Saturday before the surface trough axis dissipates soon thereafter. Low-level convergence/moist ascent along the surface trough axis may allow very isolated rain showers to impact NW OH Saturday afternoon. The expected weather pattern evolution at the surface and aloft should allow weak low-level CAA on Friday to transition to WAA by this upcoming weekend and Monday. Late afternoon highs in the mid 50's to mid 60's on Friday should moderate to late afternoon highs in the upper 60's to upper 70's on Monday. A weak synoptic MSLP gradient and sufficient daytime heating of surface air over land surrounding relatively-cold Lake Erie should permit lake breeze development during the late morning through early evening hours on Saturday, and especially on Sunday and Monday. && .AVIATION /00Z Tuesday THROUGH Saturday/... The overall message for aviation and this TAF update will be more unsettled tonight lingering through tomorrow thanks to a very slow moving cut off upper level low pressure system over the Ohio Valley region. Conditions vary greatly this evening across the area from VFR ceilings to IFR ceilings as well as localized visibility reductions due to showers and isolated storms. We are expecting the ongoing band of heavier showers and isolated convection to gradually decrease in coverage and weaken to scattered showers during overnight. Ceilings are expect to drop to lower end MVFR and IFR late tonight into Tuesday morning. Some areas of light fog and mist will redevelop for much of the area later tonight into early Tuesday morning with 3sm to 5sm vis reductions likely. THere could be some pockets of thicker fog but we are not anticipating widespread dense at this time. ceilings over NWOH and NEOH will likely stay at IFR for most of Tuesday through the end of the TAF period. The ceilings at YNG, ERI, and CAK may recover back to MVFR by midday and afternoon on Tuesday. Winds will be light and variable or from the southwest around 5 knots tonight. Winds will be 5 to 10 knots from the west-southwest on Tuesday. Outlook...Periodic showers with isolated thunderstorms and non-VFR conditions are expected through Tuesday night. MVFR ceilings may linger into Wednesday before scattering out. Non- VFR ceilings will also accompany a cold front Wed night into Thursday morning. && .MARINE... A trough lingers over Lake Erie for the time being. After meandering in the Mid OH Valley, the parent low should wobble N'ward to near southeastern Lower MI tonight through Tuesday. Primarily NE'erly to E'erly winds around 5 to 15 knots through this evening are expected to veer to S'erly to SW'erly and remain around 5 to 15 knots overnight tonight into Tuesday as waves remain 3 feet or less. Note: localized, lingering fog is present over southwestern and central Lake Erie as of 4 PM EDT this afternoon. Fog should persist and expand in coverage this evening as sufficient nocturnal cooling allows a surface-based layer of air to cool to supersaturation over a larger portion of the lake. During the predawn hours of Wednesday morning, fog should dissipate as the aforementioned S'erly to SW'erly winds freshen over Lake Erie and cause the fog to mix significantly with unsaturated air. Given fog is localized as of 4 PM EDT this afternoon and the amount of fog expansion is uncertain, refrained from reissuing a Marine Dense Fog Advisory, but trends in observations and forecast model data will continue to be monitored. The low is then expected to wobble ENE'ward from southeastern Lower MI toward the Canadian Maritimes on Tuesday night through Wednesday and allow a cold front to sweep SE'ward across Lake Erie Tuesday evening through Wednesday. The cold front passage will cause S'erly to SW'erly winds around 5 to 15 knots to veer to NW'erly to N'erly. Waves should remain 3 feet or less. However, occasional 4 footers are possible behind the cold front. Following the cold front, a ridge should build from the western Great Lakes and vicinity through Saturday. Accordingly, NW'erly to NE'erly winds around 5 to 15 knots and waves of 3 feet or less are expected through Friday night. Occasional 4 footers are possible. On Saturday, winds around 5 to 15 knots are expected to become variable in direction as the MSLP gradient weakens. These winds should trend onshore during the late morning through early evening due to lake breeze development. Waves of 3 feet or less are forecast. && .CLE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None.
