missouri. the low will track up the ohio valley towards lake erie on saturday and strengthen into a large frontal system. the low will linger across ohio through sunday. a surface ridge will briefly build in monday night before another weaker low dives out the upper midwest across northern ohio on tuesday. && near term /through tonight/... a stationary front extending from the southern rockies to the virginia piedmont will continue to bring periods of unsettled weather across the midsection of the country today. the trend has been for nocturnal disturbances to flare along the boundary and propogate eastward. the nearest cluster of thunderstorms is located across southern indiana. expect this area to glance the area with mostly mid and high clouds for the first half of the day. swrn part of the fa could even see a few light showers this morning. next disturbance down the line arrives just after 18z in the fdy and tol areas. this precip will be the precursor to the large low pressure system that will begin to affect the area fri night. increased pops out west to account for the earlier timing of the rain/thunder...then steadily advance pops east through the afternoon. of course eastern cities have the better chance of seeing fewer clouds/precip initially during the day. highs were adjusted down a few degrees in the western two thirds of the area based on the earlier onset of clouds and rain. && short term /saturday through sunday night/... a series of disturbances embedded along a frontal boundary will merge across the heartland and deepen as a 700mb trof drops se from the upper midwest. ul jet location will be ideal for rapid deepening of the sfc low which all models show happening. the latest ec shows the low bottoming out at 995 mb across northern ohio by saturday afternoon. the other available guidance isn't too far off that mark. this would be an unseasonably deep low for this time of year. guidance consistently shows 2 to 4 inches qpf through late saturday night. given the relatively low capes...this system should bring mostly non-convective steady rain with periods of moderate to heavy rain. this will cut back on the flash flood threat some. however...flooding is still a concern with steady prolonged rains and saturated soils. a lull in the rain will likely occur during the late afternoon with a dry slot...but rain should pick up again with ample wraparound moisture and occlusion of the low. a flood watch is in effect from 8pm sat to 4am sun. the low eventually pulls out early sun morning and conditions improve through the afternoon/evening as a ridge extension wedges in from the south. && long term /monday through thursday/... unsettled weather is expected during the long term period as a long wave trough gets established over the eastern conus. have again been unable to find a dry period. differences between the models remain this morning so confidence in timing the waves of precip is low today. it appears best chances for precip will occur tuesday and tuesday night ahead of an approaching cold front. this front will cross the area sometime wednesday and then stall out. below normal temperatures can be expected next week with highs mainly in the middle 70s. && aviation /06z friday through tuesday/... cigs have improved and most areas are now vfr. big question is how long that will last...given the deep moisture just to the south expect the southern taf sites to dip to mvfr with vsbys and cigs overnight. conditions will improve to vfr during the morning hours. precip will spread back across the area late in the taf period beginning near kfdy later this afternoon. cigs should again drop to mvfr soon after the precip starts. light and variable flow will become e to ne during the day. outlook...widespread non vfr expected friday night through sunday in widespread rain. && marine... it will not be a good weekend for boating on lake erie. east to northeast flow will develop today as low pressure heads northeast out of the central plains. speeds will begin to increase tonight and gales appear likely for saturday. per coordination with yyz and dtx will go ahead and issue a gale watch. suspect day crew will go with a warning in a few hours. will also have to worry about lakeshore flooding especially given the water levels on the lake. the surface low will pass just to the southeast of the lake saturday night with the winds become northerly. speeds should diminish after midnight. westerly flow will develop on sunday. a ridge will cross the lake on monday briefly changing the flow to southerly. another low will cross the lake monday night into tuesday with winds again becoming westerly. will likely need small craft headlines behind this system. && cle

central ohio by saturday afternoon. a warm front will extend east from the low across central ohio. the low pressure system is expected to slow in forward motion across northern ohio saturday evening before lifting northeast across the state of new york by sunday afternoon. a high pressure ridge will build east across the area sunday night followed by another low pressure over the central lakes monday night. && near term /until 6 am saturday morning/... a major (almost said winter because this storm has winter storm characteristics) storm is poised to hit the ohio and pennsylvania area over the next 48 hours. to begin with...amplification of the western united states high pressure will cause eastern united states trough to deepen and dig into the deep south overnight. meanwhile...upper level rapidly develops right over the southern great lakes region. surface low is expected to develop over st. louis and move northeast to the forecast area where it becomes nearly vertically stacked by 12z tomorrow morning. hence...the slowing in forward motion expected on saturday. at this time...exact track of the low is still uncertain and could mean the difference of band of heavy rain being a bit further north and receiving severe weather threat or all heavy rain and cooler temperatures. i will bring in the heavy rain during the night and mention isolated thunder over much of the area. best chance of thunder will be across the south as warm front lifts north into the area ahead of the low. by 12z tomorrow morning...low will be in the vicinity of between columbus and dayton. warm front will extend northeast to just south of cleveland and then east over to youngstown. warm air advection will take place south of the boundary and help destabilize the atmosphere for thunder threat. bottom line is we will need to keep a close eye on rivers and streams due to saturated ground and threat for heavy rain. i have a feeling many areas will experience flooding and even flash flooding situations. media...please review flooding rules with your viewers and remind them of the turn around dont drown rule. stay away from any flooded areas and not to be a victim. && short term /6 am saturday morning through monday night/... as mentioned in the tonight period discussion...this storm has the makings of a winter storm as upper level low pressure settles in over the forecast area and becomes nearly stationary. the deepening surface low pressure becomes nearly trapped under the upper level low slowing its forward motion. the big question is whether the east coast low development that typically takes place will actually occur. this could mean the difference between all of the heavy rain remaining over our area with no coastal development and precipitation being cut off fairly quickly and shunted north and northeast if coastal development takes place. this latter scenario will allow dry slot to push north into the forecast area saturday afternoon. the other issue is how far north the warm front lifts. at this time it appears the front will make it to just south of the lake across northeast ohio. warm air advection will take place behind the warm front setting up a possible severe weather threat. so...if the warm front lifts north...we will have to monitor the southern portions of the forecast area for severe weather tomorrow. by tomorrow afternoon...forecast area could see a widespread area of 2 to 3 inches of rain with higher amounts locally possible in thunderstorms. another issue will be winds out of the northeast that could be strong enough to topple trees due to their primary root structure being on the prevailing wind side (west) of the trees. will hold off at this time on issuing any wind advisories but will let later shifts know of potential. low pressure will begin to pull out to the northeast sunday night into monday. this will take the precipitation with it and allow for high pressure ridge to build east into the forecast area. this is short lived as yet another low approaches from the west and brings more rain back to the area by monday afternoon into monday night. temperatures will be on the cool side through much of the period due to the upper level low in place...precipitation...cool air advection...and cloud cover. as all of the events unfold...stay tuned. && long term /tuesday through friday/... a continued stormy pattern is expected through the long term. showers and thunderstorms will occur monday and tuesday with dry conditions attempting to move into the area on wednesday. cloud cover along with showers and thunderstorms should keep temperatures below seasonal averages. && aviation /00z saturday through wednesday/... expecting vfr conditions to lower to mvfr across the area starting from the southwest as rain moves into the area. expecting mvfr at kfdy and kmfd around 04z reaching the remainder of the area between 04-08z. cigs should drop further to ifr after 08z west and closer to sunrise elsewhere. little improvement expected saturday. winds will also become significant since the low will pass over/near the area. given that the models differ in their storm tracks guidance too is quite different. tried to use a blend but expect nwrn ohio and coastal terminals to become gusty with the potential to gust over 30 kts from the north and northeast. best chance for thunder will be east half of the area saturday afternoon but a rumble of thunder cannot be ruled out anytime. outlook...widespread non vfr expected saturday evening through sunday in widespread rain. non vfr expected again monday and monday night and wednesday. && marine... low pressure will deepen as it tracks into ohio tonight and eventually track to nw pa by early sunday morning. this will allow winds to increase to 35-40 knot gales that will begin toward sunrise. the increased waves will also cause unsafe swimming conditions. will issue the beach hazards statement starting at 07z across the west and 13z across the east. gales will start about the same times across the lake. winds and waves should decrease on sunday. another storm system will move into the great lakes on monday
