Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
415 PM EDT Sat Jul 26 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
A weak quasi-stationary front located across the lower Great
Lakes and Upper Ohio Valley will drift around the area through
Monday. An upper level ridge will build from the Central U.S.
into the Ohio Valley Monday and Tuesday with hotter weather. A
stronger cold front will arrive midweek with cooler and drier
weather for the end of the week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
The main weather message for the near term period includes more
very warm and muggy conditions in the forecast along with
chances for scattered showers and thunderstorms. The higher rain
chances will favor the afternoon and evening hours associated
with diurnal convection from maximum heating.

We have a very moist, tropical-like airmass across the Ohio
Valley and lower Great Lakes this weekend. Precipitable water
ranges from 1.80" to 2.00"+ which is near the maximum value for
this time of year. There is a weak quasi-stationary frontal
boundary located across the lower Great Lakes and Upper Ohio
Valley this afternoon. This weak surface front will drift or
meander near our area through Sunday night. There is a large
upper level ridge currently over much of the southeastern U.S.
Our area is on the northern edge of this ridge and the mid level
steering flow is basically parallel to the weak surface front.
MLCAPE values are 1500-2500 J/KG this afternoon and DCAPE of
700-1000 J/KG. Effective deep-layer shear is modest at 25-30
knots. This atmospheric setup will favor scattered convection
with heavy rainfall rates and likely some gusty winds. There
could be a couple strong to severe storms that may produced a
few isolated damaging wind gusts this afternoon into the
evening. SPC has the area highlighted in a marginal risk for
severe weather today. WPC has the area highlighted in a marginal
to slight risk for excessive rainfall and flash flood threat.

Most of the convection will gradually decrease in intensity and
coverage as the evening progresses into the overnight hours.
Widely scattered or chance POPs will remain through the
overnight into Sunday morning. The nearly stalled front will
again be the focus for redevelopment of convection over northern
Ohio into NWPA Sunday. POPs will increase as well towards midday
and the afternoon Sunday. Rain chances will start to taper off
from north to south towards the evening as the surface boundary
sags southward into central Ohio. High temperatures will climb
back into the upper 80s to around 90 degrees Sunday afternoon.
Heat index values will be in the upper 90s. Convection on Sunday
will be similar in nature as today with localized heavy rainfall
and gusty winds possible.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
The heat and humidity will crank back up for Monday and Tuesday.
That weak front will finally wash out and the large upper ridge
over the southern CONUS will build into the Ohio Valley for a
couple days. Our rain chances will go down to slight POPs but
the main weather story for Monday and Tuesday will be the return
of excessive heat. High temperatures will likely range from the
upper 80s to lower/mid 90s. Surface dewpoints will be in the
lower to middle/upper 70s with very humid conditions. Heat index
values will range from the upper 90s to 104 degrees potentially.
We will monitor trends over the next day or so for a possible
Heat Advisory headline needed for the Monday and Tuesday
timeframe.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Some relief from the heat and humidity will arrive with a
stronger cold front pushing southward across the Great Lakes
and Ohio Valley on Wednesday. We will increase POPs for
scattered showers and storms along and ahead of the cold front
midweek. A large upper level trough will carve out across the
Great Lakes into the Northeast CONUS for the end of next week. A
large surface high pressure system will drop southward from
southern Canada into the Great Lakes Thursday through Saturday.
Temperatures will be very pleasant with lower humidity levels.
High temperatures will be in the middle 70s to lower 80s.
Overnight low temperatures will be very nice in the 50s, away
from the lakeshore, for a few nights.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z Saturday THROUGH Thursday/...
Unsettled weather is anticipated over the next 24 hours as a
warm front continues to lift north of Lake Erie and a series of
shortwaves ripple across the local area. Multiple rounds of showers
and thunderstorms are likely through at least early Sunday
morning, although high res guidance continues to struggle with
the exact timing and placement of showers/storms through the
next 18 hours or so. Showers are beginning to develop over
inland Ohio with slightly stronger/more organized convection
moving into northwestern Ohio as of about 1730Z. Currently
thinking that this round of showers/storms will move east
across the area this afternoon into early this evening with
another round moving into the area near or shortly after 00Z
tonight. This round will likely move east into the overnight
with additional showers and perhaps a few thunderstorms possible
across NE OH/NW PA Sunday morning. Attempted to time out each
round of showers/storms for each TAF site, but amendments will
likely be needed as the situation evolves and confidence
increases.

VFR with scattered cumulus is likely outside of thunderstorms
through this evening, but there may be periods of MVFR ceilings
at KERI/KYNG this afternoon. Non-VFR conditions are likely in
any thunderstorms and moderate to heavy rain through Sunday
morning. Depending on where rain falls, there may be some patchy
fog and lower stratus late tonight into Sunday morning.

Winds will be south/southwest and under 10 knots through
tonight before becoming more westerly by Sunday afternoon.

Outlook...Non-VFR possible through Sunday in scattered showers
and thunderstorms with a frontal boundary lingering in the area.
Non-VFR possible in showers and thunderstorms Wednesday and
Wednesday night.

&&

.MARINE...
Winds will generally be variable and 10 knots or less through
early evening before shifting to the west/southwest and
increasing to 10 to 15 knots later tonight through Sunday
morning. Winds should diminish to 10 knots or less in the
western basin by Sunday afternoon, but winds and waves may
remain elevated in the eastern basin through the afternoon.
Southwest winds under 10 knots are expected late Sunday through
much of Monday before onshore flow develops and winds increase
to about 10 knots behind a cold front Tuesday into Wednesday.
Northeast winds 10 to 15 knots are expected as high pressure
begins to build into the region on Thursday.

OH...None.
PA...None.
