area forecast discussion
national weather service cleveland oh
324 pm edt thu apr 28 2016

synopsis... the low moving up the ohio valley will weaken
over pennsylvania tonight then high pressure will spread southeast
into lake erie friday. another low will move up the ohio valley
saturday night through sunday night. more high pressure will spread
southeast over the ohio valley monday into tuesday before weakening
to allow a cold front to drop southeast across the area wednesday.

&&

near term /until am friday/... the low moving up the ohio valley
will be weakening near the wv panhandle by 12z fri. the initial band
of widespread shra should shift east out of the eastern counties
early this evening. weak dynamics and lift should lead to just sct
light shra hanging around the cwa the rest of the night with most
areas seeing a tenth of an inch of qpf or less while skies remain
fairly cloudy. areas of fog will likely be present for at least the
se half of the cwa. lows should mostly be in the low to mid 40s.

&&

short term /6 am friday through sunday night/... high pressure will
build se into the area fri into fri night. lingering isolated light
shra should taper off west to east fri as somewhat drier air is
pushed into the cwa. however...the passing of an upper trough will
provide some forcing for sct afternoon shra to probably develop in
the ne half of the cwa.

high temps remain cooler than normal as ne to n winds continue while
skies stay mainly cloudy.

fri night should be a dry but cool night with lows in the upper 30s
to lower 40s but don't think any frost will occur.

sat should mainly start off dry but the next upper low will get
pulled out of the plains into the lakes as it opens up in response
to a trough diving se into the lakes. increasing moisture will be
pulled ne across the cwa sat into sat night with widespread shra
quickly spreading ne across the area and continuing late sat night
thru sun. there may be enough instability in the south half of the
cwa for some thunder sat night into sun. some areas could see an
inch of rain from this system so some minor water ponding issues
could start to occur along with some rises in creeks and smaller
rivers.

with the upper trough still just shifting over the cwa by 12z
mon...the models are slow to decrease the moisture so maybe only the
far nw may be spared from lingering shra sun night.

high temps sat and sun should remain below normal but some warmer
air may be drawn north into the se counties for a little warmer
temps for the first half of sunday. the lakeshore will see the
coolest daytime temps with highs mostly in the low to mid 50s both
sat and sun.

&&

long term /monday through thursday/...
an upper level trough looks as if it will be east of the region by
monday afternoon with any remaining showers ending from west to east
through the morning. high pressure will at least briefly take
control of the area monday night into early tuesday. models then
begin to differ on how the northern and southern jet stream interact
and track storm systems across the eastern us. in any event both
models attempt to phase with increasing chances of showers.
temperatures will be near to slightly below seasonal averages.

house temp today was 60 degrees, possibly colder in the computer room where i spend most of my time, standing at my desk reading, writing, and programming. i wore my wool cardigan that i did not crochet. but i wore my merino wool beanie hat and even a merino wool scarf today inside the house. i just now turned the heat up some at 6:30 p.m. just for a bit.
