  water levels will result in hazardous navigating conditions.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Strong west to southwest winds will cause
  water levels across the western basin to fall 1 to 2 feet below
  low water datum. The critical mark for safe navigation is
  currently 6 inches below low water datum. The lowest water
  levels are expected this evening.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Mariners should alter plans to avoid these hazardous conditions.
Remain in port, seek safe harbor, alter course, and/or secure the
vessel for hazardous conditions.

Mariners should navigate shallow waters with extreme caution due
to below normal water levels.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
235 AM EDT Thu Mar 12 2026

.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
Confidence continues to increase in the strong wind potential across
the area on Friday. As a result, a High Wind Watch has been issued
across the entire area from early Friday morning through the
evening.

&&

.KEY MESSAGES...
1) Strong winds expected Friday as robust low pressure pushes
east.

2) Active pattern continues into early next week with multiple low
pressure systems expected to impact the area.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE #1:
Late Thursday into early Friday, a strong low pressure system
will begin to impact the area. An associated strong LLJ with
winds of 60 to 70 knots will surge over the area with a push of
warm air advection. The strongest part of the jet is expected to
only move over the western portion of the area with a 'weaker'
jet of 40 to 50 knots impacting the eastern portion. Steepening
lapse rates throughout the day and mixing level almost to 850mb
should be adequate to mix these strong winds to the surface.
Many hi-res models have wind gusts in excess of 58mph (50kts)
across western counties with slightly weaker gusts in the 45 to
50 mph across eastern counties. Although the overall environment
should be conducive to bringing the strong winds to the surface,
local downslope enhancement is expected to impact the lakeshore
area across NWPA. In addition, overall precipitation chances
are minimal and should be isolated to the northern half of the
CWA, but with any showers that do occur, expect additional
mixing to bring strong gusts to the surface. Moral of the story
is that it is going to be quite windy on Friday.

To highlight this hazard, a High Wind Watch has been issued for the
entire CWA beginning late tonight/early Friday and continuing into
Friday evening. Expect this headline to be upgraded to a
advisory and/or warning in future forecast updates.

KEY MESSAGE #2:
The weather pattern into next week will remain very active with
multiple low pressures moving east across the area. This will
bring multiple chances of precipitation (both rain and snow) and
a roller coaster of temperatures. The first system will impact
the area on Friday (see key message #1) which will bring a
chance of showers across the area. Initial showers should be
primarily snow Friday morning before transitioning to all rain
by Friday evening.

Another strong low pressure is expected to impact the area on Sunday
into Monday which is expected to be a bigger producer of
precipitation across the area. Initially on Sunday, a warm
front will lift north, ushering in warmer temperatures once
again. Ahead of this boundary, a mix of rain/snow is expected
before transitioning to all rain behind the warm front. These
rain showers will persist into Sunday night before transitioning
back to a rain/snow mix Sunday night as a cold front pushes
east. The current storm total QPF for this entire system is
generally 0.6 to 1 inch with the highest totals expected across
the western counties. Periods of heavy rain may result in
localized flooding concerns, but given the current lower levels
in rivers not expecting anything widespread at this point. Will
have to continue to monitor this system for any convection
potential as well given the robust synoptic support, but
confidence is too low to add any thunder mention at this point.

.AVIATION /06Z Thursday THROUGH Monday/...
Mainly MVFR across the TAF sites early this morning, associated
with low ceilings, though a few pockets of IFR vsbys/ceilings
will be possible at CAK/YNG with snow showers over the next
couple of hours. Looking ahead, the overall trend into this
morning will be improvement to VFR from west to east across all
TAF sites. Some sct to perhaps isolated pockets of bkn ceilings
in the 3.5 to 5kft range may develop this afternoon.

Northwest winds behind the cold front remain elevated early
this morning, 10 to 15 knots with gusts in the 20 to 30 knot
range. Winds will briefly diminish to 10 to 12 knots over the
next several hours, before increasing again out of the northwest
to 10 to 15 knots with gusts of 20 to 25 knots this afternoon.

Outlook...Non-VFR possible in scattered rain/snow showers on
Friday with strong west to southwest winds in excess of 40
knots expected. Non-VFR likely to return in rain/snow showers
Saturday night into Sunday. Non-VFR may linger in scattered
rain/snow showers on Monday.

.MARINE...
A week of active marine weather is expected for Lake Erie. Low
pressure with a cold front will move through the region tonight
and allow for increasing northwest flow over the basin. A Small
Craft Advisory remains for the nearshore waters of Lake Erie
through Thursday for elevated winds and waves. Thursday will
have a reprieve with high pressure entering with backing flow.
Friday will be the most impactful day of the period with a
strong low pressure system moving through the region and a
stronger cold front crossing the lake. Southerly flow will
quickly increase on Friday to 30 kts and gale force winds are
possible with the cold frontal passage on Friday evening. Have
gone ahead and issued the Gale Watch for the entire lake. High
pressure will quickly enter for Saturday and winds will be quick
to subside. Another strong low pressure system will target the
region early next week and may have additional strong winds with
elevated waves on the lake. More marine headlines may be needed.
