Area Discussion for - Cleveland, OH
(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus61 kcle 201722 afdcle area forecast discussion national weather service cleveland oh 1222 pm est Wed feb 20 2019 Synopsis Low pressure over northwest missouri will move to the central great lakes by this evening. This will allow a warm front to lift northward across the region this morning. A cold front will sweep eastward across northern ohio and northwestern pennsylvania this evening into the overnight. High pressure will briefly build across that area Thursday night into Friday. A much stronger storm system will move into the central great lakes over the weekend. Near term through Thursday Have updated to remove the winter weather advisory for those areas that were expiring at noon and also to remove lorain cuyahoga. What remains still is a touch of freezing drizzle and light snow for northwest oh northeast oh northwest pa for a few more hours. Overall everything is transitioning as expected. The freezing drizzle should have limited affect at this point. Another surge of precipitation is expected for the evening rush and into the early evening, but this will be plain rain. Relevant portion of the previous discussion follows. A cold front will sweep across the area this evening into the overnight hours. The warmest temperatures of the day will occur just ahead of the cold front this evening. So the highs for the day, in the 40s, will be after dark for a large portion of the region. The remaining rain will transition to a few snow showers late tonight into Thursday morning. High pressure should be ridging into the region by Thursday afternoon. Some sunshine will be possible Thursday afternoon which may help to nudge highs close to 40 degrees. Short term Thursday night through Saturday Dry conditions expected Thursday night through Friday as high pressure builds east across the region. Min temperatures on Thursday night will be a little tricky based on the degree of clearing of the low cloud and the influence of cirrus and high cloud aloft, dropping into the lower to mid 20s most areas. Expecting temperatures to recover fairly well with filtered sun on Friday with highs near 40. Moisture surges back north Friday night into Saturday with deep southwest flow ahead of a system moving out of the plains. The northward extent of the precipitation late Friday night is a little uncertain given the dry low level easterly flow. If precipitation arrives in areas before temperatures have a chance to warm above freezing then could see a quick shot of light freezing rain but chances look low. Best chance would be towards the toledo area but would be short lived even there as temperatures climb on Saturday. Scattered showers expected Saturday with winds veering to the south as a warm front lifts north into the area. Late day highs in the 50s are expected. Long term Saturday night through Tuesday Highly dynamic system lifts out of the plains across the central great lakes Saturday night through Sunday. A strong low level jet wrapping north across the area Saturday night will bring showers with a chance of thunderstorms as the warm sector moves north to near lake erie. Warming temperatures can be expected Saturday night |
with much of the area in the 50s. The system undergoes impressive deepening both at the surface and aloft as it wraps the cold front in from the southwest on Sunday morning. Strong winds are expected with gusts of at least 40-50 mph if the current track holds. Will need to monitor the track and evolution of this system with the potential for even stronger wind gusts if the track holds. Cold advection behind the front will bring falling temperatures through the day on Sunday with 850mb temperatures falling by nearly 25c in 24 hours. Lingering showers will transition back to snow on Sunday night before drying out on Monday morning. Temperatures will back to near normal by Monday. Aviation 18z Wednesday through Monday Still active weather for the terminals, but fortunately we are nearly finished with fzra fzdz. Still have a little fzdz threat for tol yng cak, but only for the next hour or two. Otherwise either the precip will be ending or temperatures will get above freezing. Eri will still see some light snow for a bit longer. The relative break in the precipitation continues into mid afternoon, but then another surge of rain is expected to cross the terminals for late this afternoon and evening. Some fog to follow the rain. Ceilings will be MVFR and ifr through this afternoon and then ifr for a time overnight along with vsbys. Ceilings slowly lift Thursday. Winds are beginning to veer to the southeast and will continue to the south and then west- southwest with the cold frontal passage this evening. Gusts of 25 knots or so will be common just before and after the front. Outlook... Non-vfr Thursday. NonVFR possible again Saturday Sunday. Marine The lake remains mostly ice covered. Easterly flow of 15-20 knots this morning will veer to the south today as a warm front approaches from the south. A cold front will quickly follow this evening with southwest winds increasing to 15-25 knots with locally up to 30 knots on the far east end into Thursday. High pressure will build east across the region Thursday night through Friday night. A rapidly deepening low pressure system will track out of the plains on Saturday, moving northeast across the central great lakes Saturday night into Sunday and bring strong winds to the region. If the current track holds, gales are likely on lake erie as the cold front is wrapped east across the lake. Increased winds accordingly in the forecast but they may need to be raised even more. Winds will veer to the northwest on Sunday night and decrease through the day on Monday. Cle watches warnings advisories Oh...
