AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
621 PM EDT TUE JUN 24 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE NORTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA
TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. THIS WILL FORCE A COLD FRONT TO
SWEEP EAST ACROSS THE AREA WEDNESDAY MORNING. A RIDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE WILL PUSH SOUTH ACROSS THE REGION WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON INTO
FRIDAY. THE HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE EAST TO THE EAST COAST BY
SATURDAY AND ALLOW A WARM FRONT TO MOVE NORTH ACROSS THE REGION
SATURDAY NIGHT.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
THE EXPECTATION FOR HEAVY RAIN IN THUNDERSTORMS REMAINS A THREAT.
THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP...AIDED BY OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES.
ACTIVITY CONTINUES TO MOVE NORTHEAST AS INDIVIDUAL CELLS. LOCALLY
HEAVY RAIN CAN BE EXPECTED IN THE THUNDERSTORMS AS ATMOSPHERE IS
VERY MOIST WITH DEW POINTS AT THE SURFACE IN THE LOWER 70S. ALL
PARAMETERS SUPPORT THE THREAT FOR THE HEAVY RAIN IN THE
THUNDERSTORMS. SINCE GROUND IS SATURATED IN MANY LOCATIONS DUE TO
RECENT RAINFALL...IT WILL NOT TAKE MUCH RAIN TO SEE RUNOFF OCCUR.
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN QUITE MILD OVERNIGHT WITH NO
CHANGE IN AIR MASS. SO WILL STAY FAIRLY CLOSE TO CURRENT FORECAST
MINIMUM TEMPERATURES.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WILL LIFT NORTHEAST TOMORROW MORNING AND
EVENTUALLY TAKE THE COLD FRONT WITH IT. MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH
THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL EXIT TO THE EAST AS WELL. THIS WILL
DIMINISH THE THREAT FOR HEAVY RAIN. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
PULL OUT TO THE EAST WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AS HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE
BEGINS TO BUILD EAST INTO THE REGION. SOME DRIER AIR WILL ALSO
MOVE INTO THE REGION AS WELL.
AS UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVES OFF TO THE EAST ALLOWING WEAK UPPER
LEVEL RIDGE TO MOVE INTO THE AREA BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON. MUCH DRIER
AIR WILL RETURN THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AND BRING A RETURN BACK TO
FAIR WEATHER ONCE AGAIN.
MOISTURE WILL PUSH EAST TOWARD THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST
AREA BY FRIDAY NIGHT WELL AHEAD OF THE WARM FRONT. WILL KEEP MENTION
OF AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS GOING
THROUGH THE NIGHT FRIDAY NIGHT.
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN STATUS QUO THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIODS AS
AIR MASS ASSOCIATED WITH THE HIGH PRESSURE IS NOT MUCH COOLER
COMPARED TO CURRENT AIR MASS. WE SHOULD SEE SOME WARMING TAKING
PLACE BY SATURDAY INTO SATURDAY NIGHT ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE HIGH
PRESSURE.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL CONTINUE AS THE AREA REMAINS UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF A WARM AND MOIST AIRMASS. A WARM FRONT WILL LIFT
NORTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA LATE SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY. WILL LIKELY
SEE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AS THIS FEATURES MOVES THROUGH. VERY
WARM TEMPS WILL MOVE OVER THE AREA ALOFT ON SUNDAY WITH 850 MB TEMPS
POSSIBLY GETTING TO AS WARM AS PLUS 18 BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON. HAVE
NUDGED TEMPS UP ON SUNDAY WITH 90S IN THE FAR WEST. SUSPECT THAT WE
MAY EVEN GET WARMER THAN THAT. THE WARM FRONT WILL EVENTUALLY STALL
IN THE VICINITY OF THE LOCAL AREA AND THUS WILL NEED TO KEEP AT
LEAST A SMALL MENTION OF THUNDERSTORMS EVERY PERIOD DURING THE LONG
TERM. HIGH TEMPS WILL BE AT LEAST 5 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL AND
POSSIBLY WARMER THE ENTIRE LONG TERM PERIOD. HIGH HUMIDITY VALUES
MAKE IT FEEL EVEN WARMER.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A FEW SHOWERS CONTINUE TO FLOAT ACROSS THE AREA AND MAY AFFECT THE
TAFS ABOUT AT ANY TIME. BETTER CHANCES WILL COME LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY AND WILL GIVE ALL AREAS
A MENTION OF THUNDER. A PERIOD OF STEADIER RAIN SHOULD FOLLOW WITH
CIGS AND VSBYS DIPPING TO IFR MOST AREAS OVERNIGHT. THE SURFACE
COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO NW OH AROUND DAYBREAK AND ACROSS THE
REMAINDER OF THE AREA WEDNESDAY MORNING. WILL SEE A SLOW
IMPROVEMENT BEHIND THIS FRONT. LIGHT SW TO S FLOW WILL BECOME NW
BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. EXACT TIMING OF PRECIP IS PRETTY TOUGH
TODAY SO HAVE GONE WITH BEST EDUCATED GUESS.
OUTLOOK...NON VFR POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY THRU FRI IN SCT SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS AS WELL AS POSSIBLE MORNING FOG/MIST.
&&
.MARINE...
UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL CONTINUE ON THE LAKE WITH SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE AT JUST ABOUT ANYTIME. LIGHT SOUTHERLY FLOW
WILL CONTINUE TILL A COLD FRONT CROSSES THE LAKE WEDNESDAY MORNING.
WINDS WILL BECOME NW BEHIND THE FRONT AND INCREASE A LITTLE BUT
STILL REMAIN BELOW 15 KNOTS. THE FLOW WILL TAKE ON AN EASTERLY
COMPONENT BY EARLY FRIDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE TRIES TO BUILD IN FROM
THE NORTH. MAINLY LIGHT EAST TO SOUTHEAST FLOW WILL THEN CONTINUE
TILL A WARM FRONT LIFTS ACROSS THE LAKE SOMETIME LATE SATURDAY OR
SUNDAY. THE FLOW WILL RETURN TO THE SOUTH BEHIND THE FRONT. SPEEDS
MOST IF NOT THE ENTIRE PERIOD WILL BE UNDER 15 KNOTS SO NO SMALL
CRAFT HEADLINES ARE EXPECTED. LOCALLY STRONGER WINDS WILL BE
POSSIBLE WITH ANY OF THE STRONG THUNDERSTORMS THIS WEEK.
