Area forecast discussion, Jul 11, 1:03 PM EST, 1 hour 2 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Cleveland OH 203 PM EDT Thu Jul 11 2019 .SYNOPSIS... A cold front will move east across the area today. High pressure will build east into the Ohio Valley through Saturday. A cold front will slide south across the area Saturday afternoon and become nearly stationary Saturday night. The front will then move south Sunday as a cold front again. High pressure will build east across the lower Great Lakes Sunday night followed by a strong warm front Monday night. A ridge of high pressure will build north across the local area Tuesday. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/... Forecast holds for the rest of the afternoon. Bulk of thunderstorm activity along and east of I-71. Previous discussion follows. An upper level trough will move east across the area today with a surface low pressure system over northern Ontario, Canada. Well ahead of the front, temperatures will top out in the upper 80s to near 90 degrees again today. Along with the heat will come higher dewpoint readings in the upper 60s to lower 70s. The greatest instability will occur over the eastern third of the forecast area this afternoon due to the later timing of the cold front approaching from the west. The extreme east is under a slight risk for severe thunderstorms with the main threats being mostly thunderstorm wind damage. Western portions of the area may escape this round of precipitation and be on the dry side today as front moves through that area this morning. After frontal passage, the precipitation threat will come to an end as high pressure begins to build east. The high will bring fair weather and slightly cooler temperatures to the area tonight and again on Friday. && .SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... High pressure will build east across the region Friday night through most of the day Saturday, providing dry conditions across the region. A weak cold front will drop south into the area late Saturday afternoon through Saturday night, bringing a low chance of showers and thunderstorms. The front pushes south of the area by Sunday morning, and will remain just south of the area through Sunday night, with perhaps a slight chance of a shower or storm across the far southern part of the forecast area Sunday. Temperatures will be seasonable in the mid to upper 80s Saturday, and a few degrees cooler on Sunday. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... .SYNOPSIS... A cold front will move east across the area today. High pressure will build east into the Ohio Valley through Saturday. A cold front will slide south across the area Saturday afternoon and become nearly stationary Saturday night. The front will then move south Sunday as a cold front again. High pressure will build east across the lower Great Lakes Sunday night followed by a strong warm front Monday night. A ridge of high pressure will build north across the local area Tuesday. && .AVIATION /18Z Thursday THROUGH Tuesday/... Thunderstorms, some strong, will be targeted in the vicinity of ERI/YNG/CAK for mid afternoon. Thunderstorm threat will lessen after about 21Z. A cold front has passed a Port Clinton to Findlay line as of 18Z and will progress east with a wind shift to the west- northwest through early evening. VFR conditions follow in the immediate wake of the front. Overnight we may get some MVFR ceilings develop closer to morning. OUTLOOK...Non-VFR possible in scattered thunderstorms Saturday evening. && .MARINE... A cold front will work south to the lake by this afternoon and will cross the lake tonight. Winds will become northerly behind the front in the 10-15 knot range, and for now will likely remain below small craft advisory conditions. Winds will subside through the night and become more northwesterly by Friday. High pressure will build across the lake Friday and Friday night before another cold front moves south towards the lake Saturday and across the lake Saturday evening. Southwest winds will increase ahead of the front Saturday before becoming northerly Saturday night into Sunday. Light winds will persist into the early part of next week with high pressure overhead. && .CLE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. PA...None.
