Area forecast discussion, Jun 13, 12:11 PM EST, 39 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH 111 PM EDT WED JUN 13 2007 .SYNOPSIS... STRONG HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE GREAT LAKES WILL KEEP GENERALLY QUIET CONDITIONS ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH FRIDAY. A SERIES OF WEAK UPPER DISTURBANCES MAY CAUSE AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM ACROSS EASTERN SECTIONS WEDNESDAY AND AGAIN ON THURSDAY...BUT MOST OF THE AREA WILL REMAIN DRY. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... UPDATED FOR WORDING. UPPER RIDGE EXTENDS FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS ACROSS THE WESTERN LAKES TO JAMES BAY WHILE A CLOSED UPPER LOW REMAINS WELL OFF THE NEW JERSY COAST. SFC HIGH CURRENTLY CENTERED ACROSS THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL GREAT LAKES. MODELS SHOW LITTLE CHANGE TODAY WITH ONLY A SLIGHT WEAKENING OF THE UPPER SYSTEM ACROSS THE EASTERN CWA COUNTIES. ACROSS THE WESTERN TWO THIRDS OF THE AREA WILL CONTINUE WITH A DRY FORECAST UNDER MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES. AM A BIT MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE EASTERN THIRD HOWEVER. THE GFS AND NAM BOTH INCREASE MOISTURE ACROSS THE REGION WITH THE GFS SHOWING 80% MEAN RH BETWEEN 850 AND 700MB. AFTERNOON INSTABILITY ALSO IS SHOWN TO INCREASE WITH THE GFS SHOWING LIS BETWEEN -4 AND -6. AT THE SAME TIME THE NAM PRINTS OUT CAPES OF 1400J/K OR SO LATE MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON. GIVEN THIS ALONG WITH A WEAK SURFACE TROF SHOWN IN THE PRESSURE FIELDS WILL WORD IN A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS/TSTMS. GUIDANCE TEMPS LOOK GOOD AT A COUPLE DEGREES WARMER THAN YDAY. && .SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... NOT MUCH CHANGE TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT WITH HIGH PRESSURE TO OUR NORTHWEST AND LOW PRESSURE TO OUR EAST. NAM AND GFS DO DEVELOP MORE OF A SURFACE TROF WHICH EXTENDS WEST INTO THE OHIO VALLEY WITH A SLIGHTLY WEAKENING UPPER HEIGHTS. ALSO BOTH MODELS SHOW AN UPPER WAVE MOVING INTO THE EASTERN COUNTIES THURSDAY AFTERNOON WHICH...IF REAL...WOULD BE ENOUGH FORCING TO ALLOW FOR AFTERNOON STORMS. AIRMASS HOWEVER IS SHOWN TO BE DRIER AND MORE STABLE. WILL CONTINUE WITH THE SLIGHT CHANCE IN THE GRAPHICS WITH NO MENTION IN THE ZONE TEXT. GUIDANCE TEMPS FINE AND SHOW A SLIGHT COOL DOWN THURSDAY AS UPPER HGTS/TEMPS DROP AS THE UPPER LOW RETROGRADES TO THE COAST. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... NO MAJOR CHANGES REGARDING THE EXTENDED FORECAST. THE GFS TRIES TO DRIVE A FRONT THROUGH THE REX BLOCK SATURDAY WHICH JUST SEEMS TOO FAST. PREFER THE ECMWF SOLN REGARDING THE WKND SYSTEM. WILL CONTINUE WITH SMALL CHANCE POPS ON SUNDAY. RIDGE BUILDS IN AGAIN ON MONDAY BEFORE A POTENTIALLY STRONGER COLD FRONT ON TUESDAY. TEMPS WILL REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL WITH HIGHS IN THE 80S AND LOWS IN THE LOWER 60S. THINK THAT MUCH OF THE AREA WILL STAY DRY RIGHT THROUGH MONDAY. THE NEXT BEST CHANCE OF RAIN LOOKS LIKE TUESDAY. && .AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... UPPER DISTURBANCE MOVING FROM NE TO SW FROM THE BUF/ROCHESTER AREA FOR THIS AFTERNOON. THIS MAY SPARK A FEW SHRA/TS SOUTH OF THE LAKE BREEZE BOUNDARY FROM SOUTH OF ERIE TO MFD AND POINTS SE. ANY ACTIVITY WOULD BE HARD PRESSED TO MAKE IT MUCH FURTHER WEST. AREA IS UNDER A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE FROM SPC. THEREFORE HAVE VCTS/TEMPOS AT YNG/CAK. ANOTHER WEAK DISTURBANCE TRACKS AGAIN FROM THE NE TO THE SW ACROSS THE AREA THURSDAY WITH A SURFACE INVERTED TROUGH. PRECIP CHANCES AGAIN LOOK SLIM/SMALL WITH THIS FEATURE. RIDGING WORKS IN FOR FRIDAY/SATURDAY AS BLOCKING PATTERN EVER SO SLOWLY EVOLVES. WEAK FRONT SINKS SOUTH...NOW LATE IN THE WEEKEND. WITH BLOCKING PATTERN...WOULD EXPECT THIS FEATURE TO SLOW. && .MARINE... HIGH PRES OVER THE GREAT LAKES WILL SHIFT TO THE ATLANTIC COAST BY EARLY FRIDAY AND THEN MOVE LITTLE THRU THE WEEKEND. A RIDGE FROM THE HIGH WILL LINGER OVER LAKE ERIE THRU THE PERIOD WITH RESULTING FLOW BEING LIGHT AND VARIABLE. ONSHORE FLOW LIKELY DURING THE AFT HOURS THRU THE END OF THE PERIOD IN THE NEARSHORE WATERS. N TO NE FLOW WILL PERSIST IN THE OPEN WATERS THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS WITH LIGHT AND VARIABLE FLOW EXPECTED ON FRIDAY AND FOR THE WEEKEND. WAVES WILL BE MINIMAL. PRECIP CHANCES WILL BE MINIMAL WITH BEST CHCS IN THE E. && .CLE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...NONE. PA...NONE. MARINE...NONE. && SYNOPSIS...MRD NEAR TERM...WILLARD SHORT TERM...TK LONG TERM...MRD AVIATION...OUDEMAN MARINE...KUBINA
