(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus61 kcle 161455 afdcle area forecast discussion national weather service cleveland oh 955 am est Fri nov 16 2018 Synopsis A deepening nor'easter off of new england will continue to push east today, while a weaker area of low pressure over lake superior moves north. A second cold front will dip into the region today. A mix of light rain and snow will be possible with a transition to lake effect later today into Saturday. Near term through Saturday Overall, fairly minor changes to the forecast this morning. Made some adjustments to the timing of precipitation given current radar trends. Did put in some snow accumulation in the snow belt for today into tonight as temperatures remain fairly close to freezing and the obs still show some light snow and therefore could see some light accumulations. Prev discussion... light wet snow in NW pa will continue to exit east as a deepening nor'easter impacts new england this morning. Accumulating snow has all but ended, however some slushy lingering snow from overnight could lead to slippery travel this morning. Some morning snow showers or patchy drizzle will start the day off, however with surface and road temperatures above freezing for all by higher terrain in pa, not expecting impacts on the roads. Later this morning a piece of 500h energy will move over the lower lakes along with a surface cold front. Some brief moistening of the dgz zone with synoptic moisture could produce enough ice crystals for some snow showers flurries mainly near the lakeshore, with periods of light rain drizzle. The airmass will show only a modest cooling aloft behind the cold front. A SW to wsw wind later today will start a better fetch across the lake. This with modest lake induced instability expect an increase in shower development. The best chance for lake effect rain snow showers will occur this afternoon into tonight. Temperatures at the surface will be a limiting factor in any accumulation snow, with most but the higher elevations seeing a mix of rain and snow. High temperatures will be in the upper 30s. Low stratus clouds will continue throughout the day and into tonight. On Saturday the flow aloft becomes more zonal reducing the overlake instability, but still seeing the 13c t difference between the water surface and 850h supporting light lake effect activity. At the surface, the area will see advancing high pressure over the northern plains edging southeast into the great lakes. Meanwhile, weakening high pressure over west virginia will be pushing south. The convergence zone over the region will keep a chance for rain snow showers, with added enhancement from the lake for the primary snowbelt. There will once again be a mix of rain and snow with limited opportunity for accumulating snow. Temperatures will remain in the upper 30s for most of the region under cloudy skies. Short term Saturday night Surface trough and cold front settles south across lake erie late Saturday. Convergence over the lake ahead of this feature will result in an increase in lake enhanced precipitation, which is expected to shift south into the snowbelt as the flow veers. Any better snow showers will only last a couple hours before we start to dry with a northerly fetch setting up across the lake. Highest snow accumulations of 1-2 inches will be in NW pa with amounts of less than an inch in ohio. Cold front stall across central ohio on Sunday until a weak wave of low pressure slides through the upper ohio valley. Light snow may continue along this boundary on Sunday morning before temperatures warm into the mid 30s with a transition to a wet rain snow mix for the |
afternoon. High pressure and drier air will arrive from the west Sunday night. Most of the area will be dry on Monday ahead of the next system. Long term Sunday through Thursday Discrepancies between the models develop by Monday with the ecmwf dropping a back door cold front south across the area Monday evening while the GFS tracks a wave of low pressure across the central great lakes with the front not arriving until Tuesday morning. Either solution will warrant a chance of snow in the snowbelt but amounts will be higher if the GFS verifies. Lake effect snow showers will continue in the snowbelt on Tuesday as 850mb temps fall to at least -10c. Several factors need to be worked out in the models, including moisture depth, pattern evolution, and thermal profiles before getting more excited about lake effect snow. Will keep a chance of snow showers in the snowbelt for now. Temperatures will remain well below normal Tuesday and Wednesday with highs in the lower to mid 30s. The ridge builds aloft by thanksgiving day with winds shifting around to the southwest and temperatures recovering into the lower to mid 40s. Aviation 12z Friday through Tuesday A weak upper level disturbance will trigger some scattered snow showers or drizzle across the area this morning. Coverage not enough to mention in tafs though could see a brief drop in vsby around 5sm. Winds will pick up on the backside of this system with gusts in the 20-25kt range, and as high as 35kt in eri starting around 15z and lasting through this evening. CIGS will remain around 800-1,200 feet as moisture is trapped below an inversion with no notable mixing drying expected. Lake effect rain snow showers likely to develop and could impact eri later today through this evening. Outlook... Non-vfr likely Saturday through Sunday. Marine Low pressure taking shape across the upper great lakes will pull a trough across the lake erie today with southwesterly winds increasing to 25-30 knots. Winds may briefly approach gales on the east end of the lake but not expected to enough to warrant a gale warning. Small craft advisories have been issued for the whole lake. Winds will remain near 20 knots tonight then gradually decrease and back to southwesterly on Saturday as high pressure expands into . The ohio valley. The southwesterly flow will also result in water levels falling to near the critical mark on the western basin. The water level has fallen to around 30 inches above lwd as of 330 am. These are expected to bottom out within a few inches of the critical mark late this afternoon evening. We will monitor winds and water levels today and update if needed. The next cold front will move south across the lake Monday and waves may approach small craft criteria for a few hours. Cle watches warnings advisories Oh... None. Pa... None. Marine...

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
