MitchellWhat 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 Apr 1, 7:30 PM EDT, 1 hour 35 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
- 1) An active storm track will continue across the Midwest and Great Lakes region through this weekend. There will be a series of frontal boundaries oscillating southward as a cold front and northward as a warm front tonight through Saturday night. 2) A strong cold front will move through the region Saturday evening which could bring the potential for another round of strong to severe storms. A colder weather pattern will move in behind the front Sunday into early next week.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 1, 7:30 PM EDT, 1 hour 35 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Cleveland OH 730 PM EDT Wed Apr 1 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... Residual flooding on area streams and rivers due to recent heavy rainfall will continue into tonight, lingering into Friday. Additional rainfall is expected through tonight which may slow down the water runoff through our local drainage basins. An active and unsettled weather pattern will continue through the end of the week into the weekend. && .KEY MESSAGES... 1) An active storm track will continue across the Midwest and Great Lakes region through this weekend. There will be a series of frontal boundaries oscillating southward as a cold front and northward as a warm front tonight through Saturday night. 2) A strong cold front will move through the region Saturday evening which could bring the potential for another round of strong to severe storms. A colder weather pattern will move in behind the front Sunday into early next week. && .DISCUSSION... KEY MESSAGE #1: Our weather pattern will remain unsettled and stormy at times today through Saturday night. The latest upper level weather charts shows a large ridge of high pressure holding firmly over off the East Coast and a trough across the Western and Central U.S. This weather pattern and setup will not change much until later this weekend. The cold front that recent came through the area is now down across southern Ohio. This frontal boundary will stall out near the Ohio River this evening before it starts to lift back northward late tonight and Thursday morning as a warm front. We have a moist southwesterly flow overhead in the mid and upper levels that will continue to advect in moisture to interact with a series of frontal boundary over the next few days. The over running flow over the stalling front across the Ohio Valley will bring additional chances for showers and isolated thunder possible for the rest of today into tonight. There should be a gradual decrease in POPs late this evening. But as the warm front starts to lift north late tonight into early Thursday morning, POPs will increase again for most of north central and northwest Ohio. Scattered showers are expected with an isolated thunderstorm or two possible by early Thursday morning. Organized severe weather is not expected tonight or tomorrow morning, but any additional rainfall on top of soggy ground conditions may delay or slow down the drainage of flood waters. Temperatures tonight will hold steady in the upper 30s to low 40s for the rest of the afternoon into tonight. Some patchy fog may be possible tonight, especially as the warm front starts to lift back northward early Thursday morning. The warm front will lift through Thursday. A warm southerly flow will bring back temperatures in the middle to upper 70s Thursday afternoon. The high-res forecast guidance shows a few isolated to widely scattered showers and general t'storms may pop up around the area Thursday afternoon into the evening. A low pressure system will track through the Great Lakes Thursday night and try to move a cold front into our area. The setup for severe weather Thursday will stay mostly west of our local area. The cold front will move into NWOH late THursday evening, the overall dynamics and support for organized convection will diminish as showers and storms move into the I-75 corridor of western Ohio. SPC as the I-75 corridor and westward into NWOH in a marginal (level 1 out of 5 threat) for seeing a couple strong to severe storms. If the convection can remain organized into NWOH, the main severe weather threat will be damaging wind gusts and localized heavy downpours. The cold front will lose support for moving southeastward across our local area late Thursday night/early Friday morning. This front will briefly stall out nearby across northern Ohio and NWPA on Friday before it lifts back northward as a warm front Friday night. Most of the area will remain Spring like on Friday with temperatures in the 70s. Additional widely scattered showers and isolated thunder will remain in the possible Friday into Friday night with the oscillating frontal boundary in the area before it lifts back out as a warm front. The next weather system that will bring another round of showers and thunderstorms across the region will arrive late Saturday. A strong upper level trough will swing out from the Central Plains and into the Great Lakes region on Saturday. A low pressure system will track through the Great Lakes late Saturday into Saturday night with a trailing strong cold front. We will be warm and breezy ahead of the cold front and storm system on Saturday. High temperatures will easily reach the middle to upper 70s with a few spots possibly reaching 80 degrees. While it is still 3 days out until this weather system impacts the area, medium range forecast guidance does show some potential for severe weather ahead of the cold front Saturday evening. We will monitor forecast trends and that potential over the next couple of days. Additional localized heavy rainfall will again be possible late Saturday into Saturday night which could cause another isolated flooding threat. KEY MESSAGE #2: After the strong cold frontal passage Saturday night, we have a big weather pattern change that will be colder and not feeling so Spring like for the later half of the weekend into early next week. A large upper level trough will develop over the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley regions Sunday through the middle of next week . Below average temperatures along with off and on scattered chances for some light rain showers and light snow showers from moisture coming off the Great Lakes underneath the cold trough. Generally highs in the 40s and 50s and overnight low temps in the 20s and 30s. && .AVIATION /00Z Thursday THROUGH Monday/... Currently in IFR ceilings this evening that will persist for much of the front end of the forecast. The bulk of the light rain is finally going to be moving out over the first few hours of the TAF, and left with only isolated rain chances during the early part of the overnight period. A warm front then comes through late tonight into early morning THursday with another batch of showers, and used TEMPO for this in some cases. Only expecting MVFR visibilities with this, but ceilings should remain IFR. Warm front passes to the north, and should get dramatic improvements as low stratus dissolves/lifts fairly rapidly to VFR and rain chances end. Winds northeast winds with some gusts this evening become easterly overnight, then southerly behind the warm front Thursday, with the exception of ERI where winds will be southeasterly in the afternoon. Outlook...Additional periods of non-VFR conditions possible in showers and thunderstorms late Thursday into Thursday night. Non-VFR possible on Friday through Saturday night with rain and low ceilings. && .MARINE... Main change to the forecast was to slightly increase the northeast winds (18 to 20 knots) across Lake Erie this evening into Thursday morning which has resulted in the issuance of a Small Craft Advisory for much of the lake. Conditions will improve across the lake Thursday afternoon as a warm front lifts north, shifting flow back towards the south to southwest, 15 to 20 knots. Elevated south to southwest flow will persist into Friday afternoon. Otherwise, the next period of concern will be on Sunday as a cold front ushers in west winds of 20 to 25 knots. A Small Craft Advisory will likely be needed on Sunday. && .CLE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. PA...None.
