area forecast discussion
national weather service cleveland oh
156 pm edt fri may 8 2015

synopsis...
an upper level ridge will continue to dominate the weather across
the region today. a frontal boundary will approach the local area
from the northwest on saturday and then stall near lake erie
saturday night or sunday. the front will move back north as a warm front
early next week as an area of strong low pressure moves from the
central plains to northern great lakes.
&&

near term /through tonight/...
update...no big changes for the afternoon update.
original...skies remain mostly clear this morning. another warm
summer like day is in store for the area. a couple of record highs
will be challenged or broken today. 850 mb temps are forecast to
be just a tad cooler than thursday. but given a warmer start
expect high temps to be fairly close to yesterdays values inland
areas. there should be enough of a pressure gradient to keep the
lake breeze fairly close to the shoreline today so places like
kbkl and keri should be a handful of degrees warmer than thursday.
surface dewpoints currently are not as high as progged by the
guidance but should come up some today. really not much in the way
of forcing today but some weak low level moisture convergence
could kick off some showers or storms over far nw ohio. a few
storms could also fire along the lake breeze boundary east of kcle
later today. some of newer guidance including the latest hrrr pick
up on that scenario. the previous forecast already had a mention
so will stick with it for now.
&&

short term /saturday through monday night/...
the frontal system over the western great lakes will continue to
inch toward the local area the next couple of days. as this
happens precip chances will increase from northwest to southeast.
very little shear and upper support expected over the weekend so
no organized convection is expected. the showers and storms that
do develop will likely be scattered in nature. right now it
appears best chances for widespread precip will probably not come
till later monday and monday night. till then will need mainly likely
pops in nw ohio with no more than chance of scattered wording
across the remainder of the area. it's still tough to tell if the
front will make it across the lake before it stalls on sunday. the
new guidance continues to show an area of strong low pressure
developing over the plains this weekend. this low will move to the
northern lakes on monday causing the front to lift back to the
north. as this happens the local area could see a 12 to 18 hour
period of mainly dry weather. the more widespread precip mentioned
above will come as the trailing cold front finally approaches late
in the short term period. it has been fairly dry so far this month
but think most of the area will see at least a half inch of
precip the next few days. temps will remain a good 15 degrees
above normal during the period with highs mainly in the lower to
middle 80s.
&&

long term /tuesday through thursday/...
both the ecmwf and gfs track low pressure system across the eastern
lakes tuesday...then off the new england coast on wednesday. behind
the front much colder air spills over the area. gfs continues to be
much colder than the latest ecmwf. by wednesday evening the gfs
850 mb temperatures plunge to -4c while the ecmwf only to +4c. for
now will continue to spit the difference on the temps.
&&

aviation /18z friday through wednesday/...
vfr conditions in place to start the taf cycle with cumulus clouds
developing around 6k feet. moisture is increasing from the west and
a few showers or isolated thunderstorms may try to sneak into the
tol area after 21z. better chances will be after 06z as moisture
continues to increase. an isolated shower or thunderstorm will also
be possible in northeast oh/northwest pa this afternoon but chances
of impacting a terminal are too low to include in any forecasts at
this time. mvfr visibilities may develop late tonight...mainly in nw
ohio as dewpoints continue to increase. otherwise scattered showers
and thunderstorms expected during the afternoon/evening on saturday.

outlook...non vfr possible in showers and thunderstorms saturday
afternoon through monday night.
&&

marine...
light south flow over the lake will continue through the weekend as
high pressure remains over the eastern lakes. southwest winds will
increase monday night and tuesday ahead of a low pressure system
moves into the central lakes. trailing cold front will move across
lake erie on tuesday. a small craft advisory will likely be needed
for tuesday and tuesday night.
