Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
226 PM EDT Sun Mar 15 2026

.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
A High Wind Warning has been issued for Erie County Pennsylvania and
the Wind Advisory has been expanded to Summit, Portage, and Trumbull
counties. Northwest Ohio has been lowered from a Slight Risk to a
Marginal Risk of severe thunderstorms for late tonight. Raised
pops outside of the snowbelt on Monday night where a light
coating of snow is possible.

&&

.KEY MESSAGES...
1) Windy conditions return today, with a Wind Advisory in effect for
much of the area and a High Wind Warning in effect for Erie County
Pennsylvania. Damaging winds will also be possible late tonight in
Northwest and North Central Ohio as showers and possibly a few
thunderstorms bring strong winds along a cold front.

2) Wintry weather returns Monday night and Tuesday with wind chills
dropping into the single digits. Accumulating snow is likely in the
primary snowbelt region, with scattered snow showers elsewhere.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...

A dynamic system will impact the region over the next 24 hours as an
upper level trough deepens across the Mid-Mississippi Valley today
then becomes negatively tilted overnight with a closed low lifting
north across Lake Michigan. Surface low pressure is located over
Kansas and is forecast to lift a warm front north across the area
this morning as it tracks northeast towards Chicago. The local area
will undergo rapid warming today with much of Ohio reaching the
upper 60s to near 70 in the west, while the warm front is slow to
pass Northwest Pennsylvania where temperatures top out in the upper
50s.

High winds remain the primary concern today as a strong wind field
arrives this afternoon. A low level jet with speeds of 60-70 knots
will pass over Northwest Ohio. As mixing heights increase today,
areas in the Wind Advisory will see wind gusts increase to 50 mph or
greater. The extent of mixing is a concern, especially in NW Ohio
where mixing heights could be near 5k feet and could possibly tap
into some of the higher gusts. The placement in the warm sector
today does not provide any downward momentum transfer and HREF
probabilities of exceeding 60 mph wind gusts are quite low through
the afternoon. While an upgrade to a High Wind Warning in NW Ohio
can not be ruled out, the greatest likelihood is for winds to remain
more in the Advisory range.

For tonight, downsloping winds will continue to strengthen in Erie
County Pennsylvania. The southeasterly wind direction is favorable
with a tightening gradient and wind speeds at 925mb increasing to
around 65 knots. This tends to be an effective set-up to mix the
stronger wind gusts down to the surface and the High Wind Watch has
been upgraded to a High Wind Warning. The strongest winds are
expected between 8 PM and 2 am along the Erie lakeshore with
several hours of Advisory level winds on either side.

The next concern is the arrival of the cold front wrapping in from
the southwest as the system occludes overnight. The Storm Prediction
Center has backed off slightly on the convective risk, removing most
of the Slight Risk area from Northwest Ohio with a Marginal Risk for
severe thunderstorms from the I-75 corridor to just west of I-77.
Instability is a limiting factor for thunderstorms tonight but the
concern remains for damaging winds with showers along the cold
front. The wind field will be very strong when the front arrives,
with speeds at 850mb of 60-70 knots. The strongest winds are
oriented at a 30-40 degree angle to the front initially which is
less favorable than if the winds were perpendicular. As the front
moves eastward, they are expected to become increasingly more
parallel to the front and that may help to reduce forward
motion with decreasing intensity towards sunrise. Trends will be
monitored this evening as this line of showers approaches and
severe weather warnings are still possible overnight. The
greatest threat is wind gusts to 70 mph between the hours of 2
AM and 6 AM.

KEY MESSAGE 2...

A return to winter-like conditions will occur behind the strong
cold front as temperatures fall throughout the day on Monday
and are largely in the mid to upper 20s on Tuesday. Temperatures
at 850mb fall by about 25C from 06Z Mon to 06Z Tues. The
effects of the cold will be amplified by the windy conditions as
we reside on the southern side of a broad trough remaining
across the eastern Great Lakes. Wind chill values are forecast
to be in the single digits Monday night into Tuesday morning
with winds gusting to 25 mph. Precipitation type will transition
back to all snow by Monday evening and the upper level trough
axis pivots through Monday night bringing scattered snow
showers to much of northern Ohio. Precipitation amounts are
expected to be light and road temperatures may still be
marginally warm from Sunday, but a light coating of snow is
possible and could result in slick conditions as temperatures
continue to fall. Most of northern Ohio will only see about a
half inch of snow but additional accumulations will be possible
in the snowbelt heading into Tuesday.

A uni-directional west southwest flow will be in place across
Lake Erie on Monday night. Lake to 850mb delta T increases to
about 20C with moderate instability for lake enhanced snows. We
do start to lose moisture on Tuesday both above 700mb and with
dewpoints falling into the single digits upstream of Lake Erie.
Snow showers are expected across much of the snowbelt, shifting
slightly inland Tuesday morning, then shifting back closer to
the lake Tuesday evening as the surface ridge builds in from the
southwest. Light accumulation of generally 1-4 inches are
expected across the snowbelt with the higher amounts possible
where westerly bands set-up. We will need to monitor intensity
of snow bands for any locally higher amounts and continue to
refine the snowfall forecast as mesoscale details such as wind
direction/moisture depth come into better agreement.

Fortunately the cold does not stick around very long with upper
level ridging extending into the Upper Ohio Valley towards the
weekend. Normal highs are in the mid to upper 40s for mid March
and we expect to see most of the area in the 50s by Friday.

.AVIATION /18Z Sunday THROUGH Friday/...
The main impactful weather concern for aviation and this TAF
update will be the strong and very gusty winds during the entire
time period. Winds from the south have ramped up 15 to 25 knots
this afternoon with like gusts 35 to 45 knots, especially areas
of northwest and north central Ohio. Conditions will remain VFR
this afternoon into the late evening. Clouds will increase from
west to east this evening and eventually MVFR ceilings will move
in later tonight through the rest of the time period or 18z
Monday. There will be a strong cold front that will sweep
across the area late tonight into early Monday morning. There
will also be a line or area of showers with isolated thunder
possible associated with the frontal passage. This is mentioned
with TEMPO groups from west to east late tonight/early Monday
morning. A brief period of lower MVFR ceilings and visibility
due to heavier showers will likely impact all TAF sites. At this
time, we have only mentioned the potential for -TSRA at FDY and
TOL but that may need to be added to TAFs further east with
future updates. Ceilings will stay MVFR to low end MVFR on
Monday.

The stronger winds this afternoon will decrease a little
overnight but still remain in the 15 to 25 knot range and gusts
to 35 knots tonight and Monday. Winds will also shift from
southerly to southwesterly by Monday morning.

Outlook...Non-VFR will likely persist with scattered rain
showers changing to scattered snow showers on Monday. Lake
effect snow showers and possible squalls will impact the
Snowbelt of NEOH and NWPA Monday night into Tuesday.

&&

.MARINE...
Marine weather conditions are expected to be very rough today
through Tuesday. A Small Craft Advisory is currently in effect
today into tonight. A Gale Warning will take in effect for all
of Lake Erie Monday morning through Tuesday morning. Southerly
winds will increase 25 to 30 knots today and tonight.
Southwester to westerly Gales 35 to 40 knots will move over Lake
Erie Monday through Tuesday morning. Gusts Monday will be up to
50 knots likely. Waves will be increase with the highest over
the open basin up to 15 feet or more. Winds will slowly ease
down Tuesday into Tuesday night but remain from the west 15 to
25 knots. Additional SCA will likely be needed after the Gale
Warning. Winds and waves will be on the lighter side mid to end
of next week, southerly around 10 knots

As the strong winds shift southwesterly to westerly behind the
strong cold front Monday morning, water levels will likely drop
in the western basin of Lake Erie. A Low Water Advisory has
been issued Monday morning through Tuesday morning as water
levels are expected to drop below the critical mark for safe
marine navigation.
