area forecast discussion
national weather service cleveland oh
414 am est wed feb 12 2014

synopsis...
a ridge extending from high pressure over new england will linger
over the area through thursday. a clipper will pass north of lake
erie on friday and pull a cold front across the region. high pressure
will return on saturday with another weak area of low pressure
sliding through the ohio valley on saturday night.
&&

near term /until 6 pm this evening/...
a ridge will linger over the area today...extending from high
pressure over new england. temperatures are starting off very cold
with findlay down to -15 at 330 am. winds are calm in most areas so
we do not have any type of wind chill headlines in effect. skies
have finally cleared and will remain sunny today with systems
passing both to our north and south. the airmass is very dry with
pw values near 0.08 inches. a light southeasterly wind will develop
with weak warm advection. after a cold start to the day...
temperatures will recover to the low 20s.
&&

short term /6 pm this evening through saturday night/...
tonight will be cold again with mostly clear skies and a ridge
still over the area. temperatures will approach zero in nw ohio
while lows are only forecast to drop to around 10 degrees in ne
oh/nw pa where we may hold onto just enough wind to not decouple.
also counting on a little bit of mid-level cloud. these
temperatures could potentially be too warm though if skies are
clear and winds go calm again. a good deal of sun is expected
again on thursday with temperatures reaching the upper 20s to near
30 degrees.
a clipper will move across the central great lakes from late
thursday night into friday. very dry mid-level air wraps around the
south side of the system which will limit chances for precipitation.
the gfs and canadian models hint there could be trace amounts of
precipitation around with the frontal passage late thursday
night...and the lack of ice nuclei in the cloud suggests it could
be in the form of freezing drizzle. think potential for freezing
drizzle is very low given a 6-8 degree dewpoint depression and
winds increasing to 10-15 knots. removed chances of snow from the
forecast for most areas and we will keep an eye on freezing
drizzle potential.
a shortwave will slide across illinois and southern ohio on friday
with increasing moisture and a light warm advection type snow
filling in across southern and possibly central ohio. a low level
trough also pushes south across lake erie which may help to enhance
convergence downwind of the lake bringing light snow showers. some
minor accumulations will be possible...mainly in the snowbelt.
scattered snow showers could even linger into saturday in ne oh/nw
pa as a trough lingers over the lake.
another clipper moves through the northwest flow towards the ohio
valley on friday night. this will again bring an opportunity for
light snow but models have trended southward and will just carry
30-40 pops with better chances to our south.
&&

long term /sunday through tuesday/...
high pressure will briefly ridge across the the area saturday
afternoon into sunday. as this high moves east of the area it will
allow a much stronger storm system to move into the central or
southern great lakes late monday into tuesday. southerly winds ahead
of this low will bring some warmth back to the region with highs
within a couple degrees of 40 for a large portion of the county
warning area. models differ on the exact track of this low which
will have significant implications on the precipitation type. for
now have gone with rain...snow...or a mix. this area of low pressure
should be east of the region by wednesday.
&&

aviation /06z wednesday through sunday/...
high pressure will continue to build over the area. skies are skc
and will remain that way overnight. there should be a few high
clouds on wednesday. light and variable flow will become se at
under 10 knots on wednesday. still expecting some patchy mvfr fog
inland areas later tonight.
outlook...non-vfr in clouds and or visibilities will develop
thursday evening and continue off and on through saturday night.
&&

marine...
high pressure will move away from lake erie to the new england coast
today. this will allow the next clipper storm system to move into
the region from the upper great lakes. as it passes across the
region it will drag a cold front across the area. the front should
clear all of lake erie by saturday morning. high pressure will then
briefly ridge across the lake saturday afternoon into sunday. a much
stronger storm system will move into the central or southern great
lakes late monday into tuesday. gusty winds may make a run at gale
force in the wake of it but the models are differing on the timing
of the strong area of low pressure across the region.
