AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
243 PM EDT TUE JUL 10 2007

.DISCUSSION...STRONG SHORTWAVE AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL BE
MOVING ACROSS COUNTY WARNING AREA TONIGHT. COLD FRONT CURRENTLY
MOVING ACROSS WEST UPPER MICHIGAN AND INTO CENTRAL WISCONSIN.
CURRENT MOVEMENT WILL BRING IT INTO EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN AND
NORTHWEST LOWER MICHIGAN AROUND 6 PM ET...THEN MOVING ACROSS OUR
FORECAST AREA...EXITING TO THE SOUTHEAST BY MIDNIGHT.

INCREASE IN MOISTURE ADVECTION OCCURRING ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN PART OF
CWA AS DEW POINTS IN THE MID 60S REPORTED AT 17Z.  70 DEGREE DEW
POINTS FARTHER TO THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST.

ACTIVE WEATHER EXPECTED TO BE ONGOING FOR THIS AFTERNOONS FORECAST
PACKAGE. MODELS AND MODEL SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO SHOW BEST DYNAMICS
MOVING ACROSS NORTHERN PART OF CWA...WHERE HIGHEST BULK SHEAR OF 60+
KNOTS AND BULK RICHARDSON NUMBERS ARE BETWEEN 10-45. CAPES MAY BE
LIMITED ACROSS THE NORTH AS INCREASING CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED ALONG
WITH LOWER DEW POINTS IN THE LOW TO MID 60S.

ACROSS SOUTHERN HALF OF FORECAST AREA...MORE SUNSHINE HIGHER DEW
POINTS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE MLCAPES OVER 2300 J/KG... WITH LIFTING
INDEXS OF -4 TO -6. UPPER WIND LINEAR PATTERN MORE CONDUCIVE TO
SQUALL LINE DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATED WITH COLD FRONT. WILL NEED TO
KEEP AN EYE ON THE PRE FRONTAL CONVECTIVE LINE DEVELOPING SOUTH OF
GREEN BAY AND STARTING TO MOVE OUT INTO LAKE MICHIGAN.

MAIN THREAT WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS THIS EVENING. CANT RULE OUT
ISOLATED SUPERCELL ACROSS THE NORTH HALF OF FORECAST AREA THIS
EVENING.

WILL END PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE NORTHWEST BY 03Z...THEN ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST COUNTIES BY MORNING.  SOME WRAP AROUND MOISTURE AND
RAINSHOWERS EXPECTED ACROSS EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN BY MORNING.

HAVE MORE CLOSELY FOLLOWED THE COOLER MET TEMPERATURES.

CAMPBELL

LONG TERM (WEDNESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)...WELL ADVERTISED...HIGHLY
ANOMALOUS...WINTER-LIKE POSITIVE PNA PATTERN ALREADY IN THE PROCESS
OF UNFOLDING AS VIGOROUS NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVES...ONE DROPPING
ACROSS NORTHERN MINNESOTA WITH ANOTHER DIGGING INTO THE GULF OF
ALASKA...BEGIN THE AMPLIFICATION PROCESS. CONSEQUENTLY...EXPECT
NORTHERN MICHIGAN TO REMAIN ENTRENCHED IN DEEP NORTHWEST FLOW ON
DOWNSTREAM SIDE OF WESTERN NOAM RIDGE AXIS...WHICH IS PROGGED TO
EXTEND WELL NORTH INTO THE NORTHWEST TERRITORIES. TIMING OF
REINFORCING SHORTWAVES...AND ASSOCIATED SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM
THREAT...DROPPING SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE NORTHERN LAKES REMAINS THE
FORECAST CHALLENGE FOR THIS UNSEASONABLY COOL LONG TERM FORECAST
PACKAGE.

WEDNESDAY...CAA NORTHWEST FLOW RAMPS UP BEHIND TUESDAY NIGHTS COLD
FRONTAL PASSAGE...DROPPING 850MB TEMPERATURES TO THE MID TO UPPER
SINGLE DIGITS BY EVENING. NORTHERN PLAINS POTENT SHORTWAVE LAGS
SURFACE FRONT BY SEVERAL HOURS...WITH EVENTUAL PASSAGE DURING THE
MORNING HOURS. WILL CONTINUE CHANCE POPS FOR SHOWERS DURING THE
MORNING ACROSS EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN IN VICINITY OF BETTER MID
LEVEL DYNAMICS AND MOISTURE. ALL IN ALL...LIKE PREVIOUS FORECASTER
MENTIONED...EXPECT A DAY MORE REMINISCENT OF EARLY FALL WITH HIGHS IN
THE 60S FOR MOST AREAS UNDER GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT...FIRST IN THE SERIES OF SHORTWAVES ROTATING
SOUTHEAST AROUND PARENT CLOSED HUDSON BAY/JAMES BAY MID LEVEL LOW
CROSSES THE NORTHERN LAKES. HOWEVER...OVERNIGHT TIMING AND
RELATIVELY LOW AMPLITUDE NATURE OF SHORTWAVE (WEAK DYNAMICS)
PRECLUDE INSERTION OF POPS AT THIS TIME (ALTHOUGH WOULDN/T BE
SURPRISED TO SEE A FEW SPRINKLES). CLOUD COVER AND WIND WILL KEEP
TEMPERATURES FROM DROPPING TO THEIR FULL POTENTIAL. STILL...A
RELATIVELY COOL NIGHT IN STORE FOR THE AREA WITH READINGS FALLING
INTO THE UPPER 40S TO LOW 50S.

THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT...MORE POTENT SHORTWAVE SET TO SWEEP
THROUGH THE AREA...BRINGING A RENEWED THREAT OF MORE SHOWERS. WILL
KEEP MENTION OF THUNDER CONFINED TO THURSDAY AFTERNOON AS POSSIBLE
DIURNAL DESTABILIZATION INCREASES CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL. CONDITIONS
DRY OUT LATER THURSDAY NIGHT AS SUBSIDENCE OVERSPREADS THE AREA
BEHIND DEPARTING SHORTWAVE. 850MB TEMPERATURES REMAINING IN THE MID
TO UPPER SINGLE DIGITS INSURES READINGS AVERAGING A GOOD 10 TO 15
DEGREES BELOW MID JULY NORMALS...WITH EXPECTED HIGH TEMPERATURES
THURSDAY ONLY IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOW 70S AND LOWS THURSDAY NIGHT
MAINLY IN THE UPPER 40S (A LITTLE WARMER NEAR THE LAKE SHORES).

REST OF THE FORECAST (FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)...PATTERN REMAINS
VIRTUALLY STATUS-QUO...WITH SOME SEMBLANCE OF DEAMPLIFICATION DURING
EARLY NEXT WEEK. STILL EXPECTING ADDITIONAL HARD TO TIME SHORTWAVES
TO TRAVERSE THE NORTHWEST FLOW...WITH EACH BRINGING AN ADDITIONAL
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM THREAT. RATHER THAN BROAD BRUSH CHANCE POPS
THROUGH THE EXTENDED TO ACCOUNT FOR TIMING UNCERTAINTIES...HAVE TRIED
TO PEG BEST POTENTIAL BASED OFF HPC GUIDANCE AND 00Z ECMWF MODEL PROGS
(PREFERRED MODEL BY LATEST HPC DISCUSSIONS). THUS...WILL INCLUDE
SHOWER AND STORM MENTION SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY AND AGAIN MONDAY.
ALTHOUGH CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN SEASONALLY COOL...EXPECT A SLOW
MODERATING TREND THROUGH THE PERIOD...MORE SO DUE TO AIRMASS
MODIFICATION THAN WAA. IN GENERAL...LOOK FOR UPPER 60 TO LOW 70 HIGH
TEMPERATURES ON FRIDAY TO APPROACH THE MID 70S TO LOW 80S BY
TUESDAY. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE IN THE 50S THROUGH THE PERIOD.
