Area forecast discussion, Jun 24, 8:10 PM EDT, 1 hour 36 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Cleveland OH 810 PM EDT Tue Jun 24 2025 ...00z TAF Aviation and Near Term Forecast Update... .SYNOPSIS... A cold front will move south into the area tonight into Wednesday, becoming stationary. The front will lift north of the area as a warm front Thursday as low pressure northeast through the central Great Lakes Friday. A lingering frontal boundary will remain north of the area with high pressure centered southeast of the area this weekend before a stronger cold front pushes southeast across the region early next week. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... 800 pm update... We let the Heat Advisory expire at 8 pm. Otherwise, the rest of the near term forecast is on track with no adjustments needed at this time. Previous discussion... Hot and humid conditions persist across the area this afternoon, but some relief is on the way as a more active pattern sets up for the local area. A cold front will settle south into the area this evening. Scattered convection has developed upstream ahead of the front in northern IN and southern lower MI this afternoon in an area of 2000 j/kg MLCAPE and better moisture convergence. Expecting this activity to slowly work southeast into northwest/north central OH this evening, with a few isolated showers already trying to form in parts of the area. Weak deep layer flow and warm/dry mid levels are fairly prohibitive for organized convection, although generally agree with SPC/WPC Day 1 marginal risk for severe weather/excessive rainfall, with slow moving storms, modest theta e differentials/DCAPE values supportive of a small damaging wind threat in more robust convection, and decent rainfall rates. Convective activity will generally diminish diurnally through the evening into the overnight, with most of the area remaining dry for a good portion of the overnight. Lows will only fall to the low/mid 70s overnight. With the boundary over the area and the upper level ridge flattening to more zonal flow on Wednesday, better chances for precipitation exist across the area, especially along and south of US-30. Expecting a bit more coverage of showers/storms on Wednesday with MLCAPE values of 2000-2500 j/kg, reflected with likely pops. A bit more organization possible too with slightly better deep layer shear, although environment still rather unimpressive for organized strong convection. The heavy rainfall threat will be a bit higher tomorrow with some decent signals in the HREF QPF probs of 3" in 3 hours, with slow moving/training convection possible with rather heavy rainfall rates. Temperatures will be a bit cooler Wednesday with highs ranging from the mid 80s north to near 90 south, and heat indices generally in the low to mid 90s. Convection will diurnally diminish again Wednesday night, with lows in the upper 60s to low 70s. && .SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/... Diurnally driven convection will be common across the area Thursday and Friday as ridging continues to hold south of the area. The aforementioned boundary lingering over the area will attempt to lift north late Thursday into Friday as low pressure moves northeast through the central Great Lakes, although the boundary will settle back near the area by late Friday behind the low. Forecast pops ramp up to likely during the afternoon hours each day, then diminishes to chance/slight chance after sunset. Perhaps some better precip coverage will be present Friday night with the trailing cold front sinking into the area. Temperatures will continue to be above normal and humidity values will remain high, although heat headlines are not anticipated at this time. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... Some signals for a pattern change exist at the end of the long term period, but continued above normal temps and diurnal precip chances expected through the weekend into early next week with quasi zonal flow over the area. Some signals for large scale troughing into the Great Lakes by Tuesday with a stronger cold front moving through the area, which may return temps to more normal values by midweek next week with a drier pattern as Canadian high pressure builds over the area. && .AVIATION /00Z Wednesday THROUGH Sunday/... The main aviation weather message for this 00z evening TAF update will be mainly VFR conditions will continue tonight through late Wednesday evening. The exception will be with any widely scattered showers of isolated thunderstorm that could move over and impact an airfield. We have some convection across the area this evening but this should mostly dissipate soon after sunset. There is a brief mention for VCTS or -TSRA at CAK through 02z this evening. Elsewhere, the evening convection should end this evening and not impact any other TAF site. There is a weak frontal boundary across the central Great Lakes region that will drift southward into the local area Wednesday. Widely scattered convection will develop once again during the max daytime heating. Due to uncertainty of timing and specific impacts any given TAF site for tomorrow afternoon's convection, we have left it as VCTS between 16z and 21z for all locations. Future TAF updates may be able to nail down some better timing and direct impacts if any. Scattered convection may briefly bring some flight category impacts. But the general rule of thumb will be VFR ceilings and conditions for the majority of the area and through this TAF period. Winds will be westerly around 5 knots tonight becoming northwest 5 to 10 knots on Wednesday. Outlook...Non-VFR possible in scattered afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms through this weekend. && .MARINE... Outside for the potential of strong thunderstorms, marine conditions are expected to be quiet with overall flow 10 knots or less through this weekend. The highest chance for any stronger thunderstorms with gusty winds to impact the lake will be this afternoon and evening, as well as Wednesday afternoon and evening. A brief lull in thunderstorms is possible on Thursday, before scattered to perhaps widespread afternoon and evening thunderstorm chances return Friday and Saturday across the lake. && .CLE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
