Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
215 PM EDT Sat Aug 2 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure over the Great Lakes region will remain in place
through the weekend, moving east of the area early next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
Quiet weather is expected for the near term period with surface
high pressure persisting underneath weak upper-level troughing.
Efficient radiative cooling will occur overnight, leading to
another chilly morning on Sunday with low temperatures falling
into the lower 50s. Seasonable highs in the lower 80s are
expected for Sunday with comfortable dew points in the 50s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
Quiet weather appears to persist through the short term period
as the high pressure axis slowly shifts east towards New England
by Tuesday underneath weak upper-level troughing. Only slight
concern for any precipitation may be Tuesday night as a
weakening mid- level shortwave tracks east through the Midwest.
However, at this time, the influence of high pressure should
favor a mainly dry forecast and limit any precipitation chances
across the area.

As the high pressure axis shifts east into New England, warm
air advection will gradually increase across the region,
resulting in the return of above-average temperatures with highs
in the mid to upper 80s.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
A quiet weather pattern appears favored to continue for the long
term period as high pressure strengthens across the Northeast
and Eastern Great Lakes, amidst mainly weak, zonal flow aloft.
Above- average temperatures appear to persist into the weekend
with highs in the mid to upper 80s and perhaps touching the
lower 90s by Saturday. Humidity will also increase accordingly,
with dew points reaching the upper 60s to near 70 on Saturday.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z Saturday THROUGH Thursday/...
VFR and high pressure in place. Only official ceilings in this
forecast is the BKN250 deck from a 500mb trough axis to the west,
and a few flat cumulus formation below at FL050. Winds
generally northeasterly at the surface around 10kts.

Outlook...VFR is then expected to persist through Monday. Non-
VFR is possible with showers and thunderstorms Tuesday into the
middle of the week.

&&

.MARINE...
Likely to be in perpetual northeasterly winds 8-12kts or so due to
the combination of the positioning of high pressure over the Great
Lakes and lake breeze generation in the afternoon hours through
Wednesday. This keeps wave heights around 1ft, mainly in the
central basin, with less than a foot for the western and eastern
basins. Periods of winds going calm or offshore possible during the
overnight hours.

.CLE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
OH...None.
PA...None.
MARINE...None.
