Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Cleveland OH 603 PM EST Sun Dec 15 2019
SYNOPSIS. A ridge of high pressure stretching from the upper Midwest to the upper Ohio Valley will be pushed northeast as a warm front approaches the region from the south tonight. Low pressure will develop along this front on Monday and pass southeast of the area on Tuesday. A ridge of high pressure returns to the region for Wednesday, while a weak area of low pressure passes through the northern Appalachians. Eventually, high pressure asserts itself over the central Appalachians on Thursday and will remain over the region into Friday.
NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/. Update . No changes for the initial update.
Original . As a low pressure system enters from the west, a warm front will approach tonight. Ahead of this front, lake effect snow continues with the westerly flow and as a result of decaying lake effect off Lake Michigan. However, a wedge of dry air ahead of this front will move over the region and shut down much of the lake effect for this evening. Radar trends are already down over the past few hours and this should continue. Some lingering light snow in Erie County PA is possible through tonight, but accumulations appear to be an inch at most and mostly early tonight. With the surface warm front, precipitation will enter the region from the southwest overnight. The onset of this precipitation will be all snow as temperatures remain well below freezing aloft. As the front creeps further north, temperatures may warm enough for there to be a loss of ice in the cloud and in turn pose a freezing rain/drizzle threat just before sunrise on Monday. Have snow through the late overnight into Monday with just a slight chance to chance of freezing rain, mainly along and south of US 30 in Ohio. There is still some uncertainty to how far north this precipitation gets with even additional uncertainty to where the freezing rain/drizzle sets up, so will maintain a snow/freezing rain mention in the forecast for tonight and not put up any headlines at this time. As of now As the region stays north of the warm front, overnight lows will be in the upper 20s.
The front lingers south of the area for Monday and a low pressure system over the Tennessee Valley begins to deepen. The recent trend in the models and the placement trend is further south. With some dry air being pulled south from the northwest and no meaningful synoptic or mesoscale forcing, believe that Monday should be fairly dry over the forecast area. Precipitation will wait until Monday evening to develop with the advancing low and upper trough entering from the west. This system appears to draw in some warmer air ahead of the trough and another window of a wintry mix of snow and freezing rain is possible on Monday night into Tuesday. This system appear fairly interesting as the snow vs. freezing rain line will make a big difference in several inches of snow vs. a glaze of ice or a mix of both. Believe that the line will be somewhere east of I-71 and have all snow west of I-71 with a mixture of both east.
SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/. Banded snow associated with a TROWAL and related frontogenesis aloft should end from west to east Tuesday morning as a surface low moves northeastward from the Mid-Atlantic states to near the Canadian Maritimes by nightfall. Simultaneously, the axis of a trough aloft will near our CWA's western border. Precip may fall as freezing rain at times, especially south of I-90 and east of I-71, where ice nucleation may fail to occur within the overlying cloud cover at times. At this point, synoptic snow accumulations are forecast to be an inch or less, with any ice accumulations amounting to a thin glaze of no more than a few hundredths of an inch. Behind the departing low, a westerly to northwesterly flow of progressively colder air will cross Lake Erie and should direct multiple bands of lake effect snow across the snowbelt of northeast OH and northwest PA. Any lake effect snowfall looks to be an inch or less by nightfall. Afternoon highs on Tuesday should reach the low to mid 30's.
The eastward-moving trough aloft settles over our CWA Tuesday night and merges with a potent mid- to upper-level low moving southeastward over northern ON. As cold air continues to deepen, westerly low-level flow should allow lake effect snow to continue across our snowbelt counties, but this snow may retreat over Lake Erie during the predawn hours of Wednesday morning. This is when low- level flow may back toward southwesterly ahead of a reinforcing cold front. Otherwise, fair weather is expected across the rest of our CWA as low temperatures reach the upper teens to mid 20's.
Flow aloft becomes northwesterly over our CWA on Wednesday as the mid- to upper-level low and associated trough begin to move eastward, toward New England, and high pressure at the surface and aloft builds from the west. Ahead of this ridge, the aforementioned reinforcing cold front should cross our CWA from northwest to southeast Wednesday morning. This front will likely be accompanied by snow showers, especially in and near the snowbelt, where lake enhanced snow is expected with the frontal passage. Following the frontal passage, a westerly to northwesterly low-level flow of even colder air will likely direct multiple bands of lake snow across the snowbelt yet again by Wednesday afternoon. High temperatures should only reach the mid to upper 20's on Wednesday, making it the coldest day of this week.
Northwesterly flow aloft persists Wednesday night through Thursday morning as high pressure at the surface and aloft continues building over our area. Lake effect snow bands over the snowbelt should end by noon on Thursday as the stabilizing high pressure ridge causes lake-induced CAPE to wane. Outside of the lake effect snow, fair weather will persist. Low temperatures should reach the teens across the majority of our CWA Thursday morning. Fair weather is then expected CWA-wide for Thursday afternoon as the surface ridge crests over our region. Highs should reach the upper 20's to mid 30's.
LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/. The high pressure ridge aloft should begin to crest over our CWA Thursday night into Friday as the surface ridge overspreads the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states. This will allow fair weather to persist. Low temperatures in the teens or 20's are expected Thursday night. "Milder" highs in the 30's should follow Friday afternoon as southerly flow on the backside of the surface high transports warmer air into our area. Fair weather may continue this weekend when our CWA may reside within a col at the surface and aloft. Low temperatures mainly in the 20's and high temperatures in the 30's are forecast for this upcoming weekend.
AVIATION /18Z Sunday THROUGH Friday/. A mix of VFR and MVFR remains over the region this afternoon as a ridge of high pressure persists over the area ahead of a warm front. MVFR was mostly limited to areas to the lee of Lake Erie, where lake effect snow showers continue with the westerly flow. However, some MVFR was entering central Ohio with the approaching warm front. Generally speaking, the trend is VFR through this evening, although some pesky MVFR will be present here and there and some more impactful lake effect snow will be around KERI through dusk. As the warm front approaches tonight, precipitation will enter and some snow is possible in and around KFDY, KMFD, and KCAK. Snow could extend further north but there is much less certainty and therefore have a dry TAF. While precipitation is uncertain, ceilings will drop to below VFR everywhere and IFR is possible where the higher chances of snow area and have a mention at KFDY and KMFD. Winds will back around to the south and then the east overnight but remain below 10 knots. The front remains south of the area for Monday and the trends for ceilings will be upward during the daytime hours.
OUTLOOK. Non-VFR possible Monday night and Tuesday with a wintry mix of rain, snow, and perhaps some freezing rain. Non-VFR possible with lake effect snow on Tuesday and Wednesday.
MARINE. Westerly to southwesterly winds continue to diminish through this evening, allowing waves to continue to lower from west to east on Lake Erie. The Small Craft Advisory for nearshore waters from Willowick to Ripley remains in effect until 10 PM this evening. Relatively-quiet marine conditions should follow overnight tonight through most of Tuesday. Small Craft Advisory conditions should return Tuesday evening through perhaps early Thursday morning as westerly and then northwesterly flow increases across the lake. Calmer marine conditions are forecast for most of Thursday through Friday as northwesterly winds gradually shift to southerly and then southeasterly.
CLE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. OH . None. PA . None. MARINE . Small Craft Advisory until 10 PM EST this evening for LEZ147>149.
