10 2014 synopsis... low pressure over iowa will move across lake huron pulling a strong cold front across the area wednesday night. a wave of low pressure will move up the ohio valley friday night into saturday then high pressure over the northern plains will move east through the region sunday and monday. && near term /until 6 pm this evening/... the question today is how far out ahead of the approaching cold front will the tsra occur. the latest model runs have qpf rapidly spreading ese across the cwa between 18z and 00z. will increase pops more for today. the threat for severe storms still looks good based on instability and fairly good wind shear. pw's rise back to around 2 inches so locally heavy rain can be expected. patchy morning fog in the south will dissipate through 10 am. today will be the last relatively warm day for a while...possibly the rest of the season based on upper troughing that is going to set up over the lakes for at least the next 10 days. && short term /6 pm this evening through saturday night/... a final band of tsra with the strong cold front should progress across the cwa between 06z and 12z so after 12z thu only the se half of the cwa should still have a threat for rain with the stronger convection then exiting the cwa. drier air moves in behind the front along with the leading part of a much cooler airmass. marginal lake effect conditions start to develop by the end of thu night so a few shra could break out over the snowbelt and nearby areas. a sharp s/w is progged to move east across the lakes fri night into sat and induce a surface wave that moves up the oh valley. moisture pools back over the area with widespread shra developing fri night and continuing into sat before shifting into mainly the east sat afternoon. high pressure is shown to be quickly spreading over the area by sat night but lake effect conditions are possible based on temp differences. due to wind issues and subsidence from the high will keep only a slight chance going sat night in the ne. temps will trend cooler for fri and sat with highs both days mostly 60 to 65 degrees. some spots on sat may not even get to 60 degrees in the inland east if cloud cover and shra persist. the increasing clouds fri night should hold up lows in a 45 to 50 range but by sat night the decreased clouds and light winds will allow for lows in the low to mid 40s. && long term /sunday through tuesday/... cool high pressure will be in control of the region on sunday but it will be shifting off to the east as another upper level trough digs into the great lakes region. as this trough moves overhead it will bring an increasing chance of showers. the better chances of the showers will be monday night into tuesday. the showers may linger downwind of lake erie into tuesday evening. the next area of high pressure will then dry things out tuesday night into wednesday. it will be cool through the long term with temperatures below seasonal averages. highs at most locations will remain in the 60s. however by tuesday and wednesday the western county warning area will be near to slightly above 70. && aviation /12z wednesday through sunday/... some patchy mvfr fog across the eastern half of the region will burn off quickly. gusty southerly winds will develop by mid to late morning as a cold front moves toward the region. wind gusts may reach 30 to 35 knots near the lakeshore from cleveland and points west for the afternoon and evening. the main concern will be the strength of the thunderstorms that develop this afternoon/evening. have moved up the timing of thunderstorms today with current radar trends already showing showers and thunderstorms into central indiana. the faster timing could end up being a good thing since thicker cloud cover will decrease the instability. these showers and thunderstorms will then slowly track across the region through the overnight. outlook...non vfr possible wednesday night into thursday in showers and thunderstorms. lower ceilings may linger over ne ohio and nw pa into friday and saturday. && marine... low pressure will move into the central great lakes today with increasing south to southwest winds expected into this evening. winds will increase the earliest across the western basin with southerly winds in the 15 to 25 knot range. winds will be offshore so waves should not build all that much. since winds are expected to be in the 15 to 25 knot range we hoisted the small craft advisory for this afternoon. winds will eventually shift around to the west and northwest in the wake of the cold front tonight. the front should be east of the lake by 12z thursday. the remainder of the lake will need to have a small craft advisory at some point this evening into the overnight. later shifts will issue it when it is needed. the cold advection in the wake of the front will keep larger waves (4-6 feet) going into at least thursday afternoon/evening. as high pressure ridges over the region winds will become northeast by friday morning. this will set up a long fetch into the western half of the lake. if the pressure gradient can remain tight enough we may need small craft advisories again friday into saturday. more details to come on this scenario the next couple days. showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop along the front and track across much of the lake. a few of these thunderstorms will become strong enough to warrant the issuance of special marine warnings for this evening and possibly into the overnight. && cle watches/warnings/advisories... oh...none. pa...none.
