area forecast discussion
national weather service cleveland oh
715 am edt tue sep 8 2015

synopsis...
a slow moving cold front across the central great lakes will stall
north of lake erie today. low pressure will move northeast along
the boundary wednesday and pull the front south across the area.
this will be followed by a second stronger front late friday.

&&

near term /until 6 pm this evening/...
no changes to forecast for 630 update.

original discussion...
slow moving cold front now into central michigan. temps should
be a degree or two cooler than yesterday as should see some
increasing cloud cover as the front slowly sags south. expect weak
lake breeze to develop this afternoon so will leave low pops for
convection across the eastern lakeshore counties. judging from the
6z synoptic obs gfs way too aggressive with the convection and
appears to be suffering from convective feedback. therefore will
lean toward the slower nam and ecmwf timing of convection. that
said do expect more widespread convection across se lower michigan
so will leave chance pops across nw ohio for late this afternoon.

&&

short term /6 pm this evening through friday night/...
little change in the short term forecast. slight timing
differences with the models but trends still the same. expect that
the front will be just nw of the forecast area by daybreak
wednesday with the convection shield into extreme nw ohio. front
and the associated upper level short wave will move across the
forecast area during the day wednesday. front will not exit area
until thursday night. could see some lingering showers in the east
thursday morning but high pressure builds in quickly
thursday....ushering in cooler and drier conditions. this will be
followed late friday with a second reinforcing shot of cold air
with another cold front. for now will just go with a chance of
showers.

&&

long term /saturday through monday/...
upper level trough will move into the forecast area saturday and
begin its transition from a trough to a deepening upper level low
by sunday morning. the upper level feature will then begin to lift
northeast out of the area sunday night into monday as a weak upper
level ridge builds into the forecast area for early next week.

as the upper level low develops...a resultant surface low pressure
will develop over eastern ohio and western pennsylvania saturday
into saturday night. the surface low pressure system will move
north and then retrograde back northwest by sunday night and then
east on monday. surface high pressure will build east under the
upper level ridge monday afternoon.

due to the upper level low and surface low being present over the
local area...the cyclonic flow across the great lakes will likely
cause a lot of clouds to remain persistent across the area. for
now...will continue with the partly cloudy/sunny forecast going
over the weekend and then gradually improve conditions as
subsidence develops under the surface high pressure monday.

the other issue to deal with is the cold air advection expected to
take place under the upper level low. a cold front is progged to
move through the area saturday morning ushering in the cooler air
mass. this air mass will hang around for the rest of the weekend
and begin to retreat monday as high pressure builds east.

&&

aviation /12z tuesday through saturday/...
mainly high clouds will spread east into the forecast area as the
day progresses. then...threat for showers and thunderstorms with
mvfr visibilities possible after 00z this evening in the west and
at erie. otherwise...rest of the taf sites should remain dry
through the forecast period. exception is cleveland should see
thunderstorm activity after 08z but will keep it as vcts.
ceilings should remain predominantly vfr during the thunderstorms.
winds should be 10 knots or less from the south southwest.

outlook...non vfr likely in shra/tsra with a cold front wednesday.
non vfr may linger into thursday morning. non-vfr possible on
saturday with the next cold front.

&&

marine...
winds will remain light south to southwest through much of
wednesday and then become variable in direction as wave of low
pressure moves east over the lake wednesday afternoon.
expecting winds to increase from the north to northwest for a
period wednesday night after the cold front passes south of the
area. but winds will diminish on thursday. may need a small craft
advisory wednesday night for a brief period. otherwise...rest of
the week into the weekend is looking like winds will remain fairly
light from the north to northwest. not expecting any small craft
advisories to be in effect from thursday on.

&&

cle watches/warnings/advisories...
oh...none.
pa...none.
marine...none.
