.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will build across the region today and persist
into Friday. A warm front will lift north across the area
Friday night into Saturday ahead of a low pressure system. This
system will extend a cold front east through the area on Sunday.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
High pressure currently centered over the Michigan Upper Peninsula
moves southeast to over the eastern part of our forecast area
Thursday night. Clear skies and cooler conditions are expected to
accompany this high. Light winds and clear skies will lead to
favorable radiational cooling tonight and Thursday night, with frost
expected tonight in the eastern part of forecast area. Temperatures
should get even colder Thursday night with the high directly
overhead, with more widespread frost and even freeze conditions for
parts of the eastern half of the forecast area in Northeast Ohio and
Northwest Pennsylvania.
&&
.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
High pressure departs to the east on Friday, with an upper-level
ridge building in overhead. A weak mid-level theta-e gradient
with a warm front may result in at least a chance for scattered
rain showers Friday night into Saturday morning, especially in
the eastern part of the forecast area in Northeast Ohio and
Northwest Pennsylvania. Southerly flow will result in warming
temperatures especially on Saturday when highs will climb into
the mid to upper 70s.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
An upper-level trough builds in from the middle of the country
on Saturday night to over the Great Lakes region on Sunday and
Sunday night, intensifying as it does so. Rapid deepening of the
associated surface low is forecast over the central Great Lakes
on Sunday as synoptic-scale features come in a little stronger
with the 12Z suite of model guidance today compared to the past
few forecasts. This forecast did trend a bitter higher with
PoPs, thunder, and wind, with areawide PoPs of 80-90% (and total
QPF around an inch), a slight chance of thunderstorms added for
Sunday afternoon, and wind gusts of around 30 mph. If a
stronger system does materialize, stronger wind gusts in the
40-60 mph could be possible with very low potential of heavy
rain/severe weather. Certainly a system worth keeping an eye on.
Wrap around moisture from the trowal may result in additional
rain showers Sunday night with a bit of lake effect rain
lingering on Monday in Northeast Ohio and Northwest
Pennsylvania. Slightly below normal temperatures are expected as
a ridge builds across the area Monday through Tuesday. Another
low pressure system may impact the region with more rain and
possible wind on Tuesday and/or Wednesday, though there is a lot
of variability in model guidance right now.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z Wednesday THROUGH Monday/...
Mainly VFR conditions will continue through the TAF period. A
mid-level cloud deck is bringing 5-10,000 foot ceilings from
CLE-CAK points west this afternoon, but will exit to the south-
southwest this evening. There are scattered cumulus in the 2,000
to 3,000 foot range, with CLE and CAK potentially seeing
transient broken MVFR ceilings from those clouds before 20z.
Mainly clear conditions are then expected tonight into Thursday.
Winds will remain out of the north-northwest at 8 to 12kt this
afternoon, slackening slightly to 147.
