  (on/off)  Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definitionFxus61 kcle 202317 afdcle area forecast discussion national weather service cleveland oh 617 pm est Wed feb 20 2019 Synopsis Low pressure crossing the northern great lakes this evening will take a cold front across the local area. High pressure will briefly build across the area Thursday night into Friday. A much stronger storm system will move into the central great lakes over the weekend. Near term through Thursday night Update... No significant changes for the early update. Original... the only area that remains under a winter weather advisory is northwest pa and for the most part only inland portions have a threat of freezing drizzle for a few more hours. Second surge of precipitation, rain this time, developing across in and western oh will work its way across the area this evening with the front occluded front ending the precip. Not alot of cold air behind this front, but after evening highs for the day around 40 lower 40s, temperatures will drop back into the lower mid 30s by morning. A few scattered snow showers possible across northwest pa toward 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. Quiet weather continues into Thursday night with seasonable lows in mid 20s expected and a mix of clouds and clearing. Short term Friday through Saturday night Broad upper level ridge will persist over the eastern half of the united states Friday through Saturday and then begin to amplify along the east coast Saturday night. The amplification of the upper level ridge will be in response to an upper level low pressure system diving into the base of a negatively tilted trough. This in turn will cause surface low pressure over the oklahoma panhandle to track northeast into the central great lakes by Sunday. The surface low will deepen rapidly as it moves out of the mid mississippi valley region into the great lakes. The surface low will have a steep gradient as it bombs out and wind will become an issue across the local area heading into the weekend; especially after the cold front moves east of the area Saturday night into Sunday morning. Ahead of the cold front, expecting strong warm air advection to take place and possibly produce enough instability for not only showers but a few thunderstorms. The showers will taper off from west to east Sunday and transition over to a mix of rain snow in the east Sunday afternoon. Cold air advection will begin to spill in from west to east Sunday afternoon. Temperatures will be on the upswing Friday and Saturday with highs Saturday in the lower to middle 50s most areas and upper 40s northeast. As the strong warm air advection takes place Saturday night, temperatures could actually warm a few more degrees Saturday evening before cooling down with the cold front. Long term Sunday through Wednesday Upper level trough will be exiting to the east fairly quickly |
Sunday night into Monday as a broad upper level ridge begins to build east into the local area. The upper level ridge will move off the east coast by Wednesday as yet another deep positively tilted trough will dive southeast toward the local area Wednesday. Deep surface low pressure will move east of the area allowing gradient to weaken with time Monday. This will allow winds to gradually relax as well as surface high pressure begins to build east into the region by Monday evening. The surface high will move east of the area as a fast moving surface low pressure system moves east across the central great lakes in response to the upper level trough diving into the region. Another area of high pressure will build east into the middle mississippi valley region Wednesday and extend a ridge east into the forecast area. More precipitation in the form of snow is possible late Monday night into Tuesday but the warm air advection in advance of the low pressure system could change the precipitation over to rain Tuesday. Then, as low moves east of the area, cold air advection will return and change the precipitation back over to snow for Tuesday night and gradually ending from west to east on Wednesday. No real strong push of cold air is expected during this forecast period as bulk of the polar jet remains north of the area until late Wednesday. Aviation 00z Thursday through Monday Widespread ifr conditions across the region this evening with mainly rain moving through. Expect conditions to persist into the night with gradual improvement late toward morning as drier air and high pressure begin to build in from the southwest. MainlyVFR west Thursday. Restriction likely will last into the morning beforeVFR returns mid day east. Outlook... Non-vfr east half Thursday. NonVFR possible again Saturday Sunday. Marine Winds will shift around to the southwest tomorrow on the lake and then become light and variable Thursday night into Saturday. A strong and rapidly deepening low pressure system will move northeast into the great lakes region and this will cause winds to increase and possibly to gale force Sunday and Sunday night in the wake of the cold front. The low is expected to exit to the east fairly quickly and winds will diminish late Sunday night and Monday. Cle watches warnings advisories Oh... None. Pa... Winter weather advisory until 9 pm est this evening for paz001>003. Marine... None. Synopsis... Oudeman near term... Tk oudeman short term... Lombardy long term... Lombardy aviation...

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. |
