Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
406 PM EDT Fri Jul 28 2017
.SYNOPSIS...
Broad low pressure over the Appalachians will move to the east coast
overnight. High pressure over the Upper Great Lakes will expand
across the Great Lakes Region over the weekend. Low pressure
will pass north of the area on Wednesday, pulling a cold front
south across the Great Lakes Wednesday night into Thursday.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
Low pressure is located over the Appalachians with a compact upper
level trough sinking south into the area. Scattered showers with a
few thunderstorms have been increasing in coverage ahead of the
upper wave this afternoon across northwest Ohio. This activity is
expected to drift southeast with time with some expansion across our
southeastern counties this evening. Some increase in low level
convergence is expected in this area along with an uptick in mid-
level deformation. Some thinning of the clouds in this area has also
allowed 500-1000 J/kg of ML Cape to develop. Expecting activity to
decrease quickly through the evening as we lose diurnal support with
pops ending by midnight.
Despite a decreasing trend for clouds this evening, some additional
low level moisture is expected to slide south across Lake Erie
overnight. Expecting to see some clouds re-develop off the lake with
sct-bkn clouds from Sandusky to Cleveland. Can not rule out an
isolated shower or two also developing downwind of the lake.
Somewhat hard to tell the extent that cloud cover fills back in so
kept the forecast as partly cloudy but could end up being more than
that downwind of the lake. Did keep mins up a little higher given
the flow off the warm lake. Water levels have risen across the south
shore of Lake Erie given the brisk northeast flow. They are not
expected to rise more than a couple more inches this evening so not
expecting to need any flooding hazards.
Diurnal cu expected through midday on Saturday then thinning during
the afternoon as high pressure expands into the Central Great Lakes.
Temperatures at 925mb will trend 2-3 degrees cooler by tomorrow
afternoon and highs are expected to top out in the 70s area wide
except possibly near 80 towards Toledo.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Upper level trough will continue to slide off the east coast early
in the forecast period. Large broad upper level ridge will begin to
advance east. Fair weather will be the dominant weather through this
period as surface high pressure builds east across the area. As the
high builds into the area along with upper level ridge, subsidence
will take place helping to clear skies out and bring with it some
more sunshine. After a somewhat chilly start Saturday night in the
50s across the area, we should see highs begin to recover again back
into the lower 80s in the west and lower to middle 70s in the east
Sunday. Due to the high being overhead, good radiational cooling
will take place allowing temperatures to drop into the 50s again
Sunday night. However, warm air advection will begin to take shape
Monday on the western side of the surface high with highs in the
middle 80s west to upper 70s east.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
A trough across the Great Lakes and east half of the country will be
maintained with the next shortwave to top the western ridge midweek.
A decent trough will get carved out across the region. A cold front
is still timed to cross the area on Thursday. It may move slowly as
shortwave shears out and we await the next bit of energy to move
through the mean trough. Will have some minimal chances for
showers/thunderstorms Wednesday, but focus most of it on Thursday.
Lingered the chances across the southeast half of the area through
Friday. Temperatures will be seasonable, but it will get muggy again
ahead of that front.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z Friday THROUGH Wednesday/...
MVFR ceilings remain downwind of Lake Erie but will lift with
time this afternoon to VFR. Scattered showers are expected to
develop across the area this afternoon with the most likely
chance of impacting a terminal at MFD/CAK/YNG. Can not rule out
a stray thunderstorm impacting CAK/YNG but coverage is expected
to be low enough that did not include at this time. Northeast
winds will be breezy at times as low pressure moves northeast up
the Ohio Valley/Appalachians both this afternoon and Saturday
afternoon. Clouds are expected to scatter out from the north
this evening with another area of scattered/broken clouds moving
in off Lake Erie towards 12Z. Coverage of these clouds are less
certain during the morning but brief MVFR ceilings are
possible.
OUTLOOK...Patchy MVFR ceilings Saturday night into Sunday
morning .
&&
.MARINE...
Small craft flags will be flying once again as northeast flow sets
up through Saturday afternoon. Winds will diminish Saturday
afternoon and will likely be able to drop the small craft advisories
at that time. Otherwise, winds will become light and variable
through the rest of the forecast period as the high pressure becomes
the dominant weather feature across the area.
