AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH 238 PM EDT SUN JUL 19 2015 .SYNOPSIS... A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA THIS EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER NORTHERN OHIO AND NORTHWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA BRIEFLY ON MONDAY BEFORE ANOTHER COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE REGION ON TUESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL RETURN FOR THE MIDDLE PORTION OF THE WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/... MCV ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA AND A COLD FRONT THAT IS LOCATED FROM SOUTHERN ONTARIO ACROSS NW OHIO AND INTO CENTRAL ILLINOIS WILL BE THE MAIN FACTORS FOR CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT THIS EVENING. THIS OCCURRING AS BETTER JET ENERGY MOVES ACROSS NORTHERN MICHIGAN THEN INTO ONTARIO TONIGHT. PLENTY OF MOISTURE ACROSS THE AREA WITH TEMPERATURES WELL INTO THE 80S WHICH PUSHES MIXED LAYER CAPES INTO THE 2000-3000 RANGE. SO THE INSTABILITY IS THERE WAITING FOR THE FRONT AND JET ENERGY TO ARRIVE. BEST CHANCES FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS APPEAR TO BE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE AREA IN CLOSER PROXIMITY TO THE MCV. THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE STRONG DAMAGING WINDS. WE THOUGHT BRIEFLY ABOUT A FLOOD WATCH ACROSS THE SOUTH BUT BELIEVE THE STORMS WILL MOVE FAIRLY QUICKLY ACROSS THAT AREA. HOWEVER WILL MENTION LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IN THE HWO. THUNDERSTORMS LOOK TO BE SOUTH AND EAST OF THE COUNTY WARNING AREA BY 10 PM. MOISTURE LEVELS WILL SLOWLY DECREASE IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT AS HIGH PRESSURE BRIEFLY TAKES CONTROL OF NORTHERN OHIO AND NW PA. IT WILL BE COOLER TONIGHT IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT WITH LOWS RANGING FROM THE LOWER 60S NW TO THE MIDDLE 60S SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST PORTIONS OF THE CWA. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... THE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE THAT DIPS INTO THE AREA INT EH WAKE OF THE FRONT TONIGHT SHOULD BE NUDGED SOUTHWARD ON MONDAY AS ANOTHER COLD FRONT SWEEPS ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN GREAT LAKES THROUGH THE DAY. NOT AS MUCH MOISTURE TO LIFT WITH THIS FRONTAL PASSAGE SO HAVE NOT GONE ANY HIGHER THAN ISOLATED/SCATTERED CATEGORY POPS ACROSS THE REGION. A LARGER AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE MOVES INTO THE AREA BY TUESDAY MORNING. THERE COULD BE A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS EARLY TUESDAY BUT THE OVERALL TREND WILL BE FOR DRIER CONDITIONS INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. HIGHS WILL STILL WARM INTO THE 80S ON MONDAY BUT SLIGHTLY LOWER HUMIDITY LEVELS WILL MAKE IT FEEL A BIT MORE COMFORTABLE. COOLER TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY IN THE WAKE OF THE STRONGER COLD FRONT. HIGHS WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE 70S. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... HIGH PRESSURE WILL DOMINATE THE WEATHER PATTERN FOR MOST OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD. AN UPPER LEVEL NORTHWEST FLOW WILL BRING A FEW DISTURBANCES INTO THE AREA THROUGH THE PERIOD. 12Z GFS SHOWS THE FIRST SHORT WAVE ON THURSDAY WITH ANOTHER STRONGER WAVE ON SATURDAY. THE FIRST SYSTEM APPEARS TO BE WEAK AND MOISTURE STARVED. CURRENT GUIDANCE DOES NOT HAVE VERY HIGH PROBABILITIES OF PRECIPITATION WITH THIS SYSTEM AND WITH THE DEGREE OF UNCERTAINTY...I WILL LEAVE IT OUT AT THIS TIME. THE SECOND SYSTEM TOWARDS NEXT WEEKEND WILL BE MORE VIGOROUS WITH DEEPER MOISTURE. I WILL BRING SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS INTO THE FORECAST SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY. && .AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... A COLD FRONT IS APPROACHING THE FORECAST AREA AND IS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH THE REGION TONIGHT. WITH A WARM MOIST AIR MASS IN ADVANCE OF THIS FRONT THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP. INITIAL DEVELOP OCCURRING IN INDIANA IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO WESTERN OHIO 19-20Z AND THEN EXPAND INTO NE OH AND NW PA ~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
