AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
1013 PM EDT THU OCT 18 2007

.UPDATE...OCCLUDED 980 MB SFC LOW NEAR DULUTH WITH THE WARM FRONT
EXTENDING EASTWARD ACROSS EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN. SIGNIFICANT SEVERE
WEATHER EVENT ONGOING ACROSS THE REGION WITH NUMEROUS DAMAGE REPORTS
AS WELL AS A FEW TORNADOES. 00Z APX SOUNDING TELLS PART OF THE STORY
WITH STRONG MID LEVEL COOLING/COLD FRONT ALOFT SCENARIO CLEARLY
EVIDENT CENTERED AROUND 600 MB TAKING SHAPE OVER THE LAST 6 HOURS.
THE FINAL TRIGGER...MID AND UPPER JET CORE PUNCHING UP INTO SRN
LOWER MICHIGAN PROVIDING UPPER DIVERGENCE SUPPORT AND LEADING TO
EVEN MORE WIDESPREAD AND SIGNIFICANT CONVECTION EXPANDING FROM IL/IN
NORTHEASTWARD INTO LOWER MICHIGAN.

FOR THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...CATEGORICAL SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL
CONTINUE TO IMPACT PRIMARILY NE LOWER MICHIGAN FOR THE NEXT FEW
HOURS TAPERING OFF LATER OVERNIGHT. MAY NOT BE A WHOLE LOT ACROSS
THE WEST AND NORTH PORTIONS OF THE CWA AFTER 11 PM OR SO...BUT WILL
KEEP LOW CHANCY POPS GOING JUST IN CASE. SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH AT LEAST MIDNIGHT AND TORNADO WATCH MAY NEED TO BE
EXTENDED. BUT WILL COLLABORATE THAT ISSUE WITH SPC/SURROUNDING
OFFICES AS THE TIME NEARS. FINALLY...MARINE ISSUES...GALE FORCE
GUSTS PRETTY MUCH DONE FOR ON THE MICHIGAN SIDE AND WILL TRANSITION
OVER TO SMALL CRAFTS THERE.

ADAM

&&

.AVIATION...ISSUED AT 826 PM.

ACTIVE EVENING UNDERWAY WITH ROUNDS OF LOW TOPPED SEVERE SUPERCELLS
ROLLING UP THROUGH NRN LOWER AND EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN.
THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TO IMPACT TVC/PLN TAF SITES TILL AROUND
04Z...AND THE APN TAF SITE BETWEEN 02Z AND 08Z. ANY STORMS MAY
PRODUCE DAMAGING WIND GUSTS/LARGE HAIL...AND POSSIBLE TORNADOES.
LATER OVERNIGHT...THUNDERSTORM THREAT WILL DIMINISH LEAVING MVFR
CIGS AND A FEW SHOWERS ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH THE MORNING. SHOWER
ACTIVITY WILL INCREASE LATE MORNING AND CONTINUE THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON PARTICULARLY ACROSS NW LOWER MICHIGAN...WITH MVFR
CONDITIONS PREVAILING.

ADAM

&&

.DISCUSSION...982 MB SFC LOW CENTERED OVER THE MINNESOTA/WISCONSIN
BORDER HEADING TOWARD DULUTH...WITH THE WARM FRONT PUSHING UP
THROUGH NRN LOWER MICHIGAN. EARLIER WIDESPREAD SHOWER ACTIVITY HAS
EXITED THE REGION WITH A PRONOUNCED DRY SLOT DRIVING UP THROUGH NRN
LOWER MICHIGAN RIGHT IN BEHIND THE WARM FRONT BRINGING SOME CLEARING
AND HEATING TO THE SRN COUNTIES. WITHIN THE DRY SLOT...SOME SFC
BASED INSTABILITY ANALYZED FROM EASTERN WISCONSIN INTO LOWER
MICHIGAN. MEANWHILE...SUBSTANTIAL MID LEVEL HEIGHT FALLS/COOLING
(COLD FRONT ALOFT) UNDERWAY FROM WISCONSIN NOSING INTO WESTERN LOWER
MICHIGAN ATTM AIDING DESTABILIZATION. ALREADY A FEW ROTATING STORMS
ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF NRN LOWER MICHIGAN AS WELL AS
ADDITIONAL CONVECTION FIRING UPSTREAM IN EASTERN WISCONSIN HEADING
THIS WAY.

MAIN FORECAST ISSUES CONTINUE TO REVOLVE AROUND THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT/PROPAGATION/SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL THROUGH TONIGHT. AS
MENTIONED...SOME ROTATING THUNDERSTORMS ALREADY ONGOING OVER NRN
LOWER MICHIGAN AIDED PRIMARILY BY FLOW INTO THE HIGHER TERRAIN. BUT
NOT THE MAIN SHOW HOWEVER AS ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT WILL LIKELY TAKE
SHAPE TO THE S/SW (SE WISCONSIN/NRN ILLINOIS/INDIANA AREA) AND
EXPAND N/NE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS AS MID AND UPPER JET CORE
AND ASSOCIATED UPPER DIVERGENCE PUNCHES UP ACROSS SRN LOWER MICHIGAN
(500 MB FLOW OF 60-80 KNOTS). MEANWHILE...RESPECTABLE MID LEVEL
HEIGHT FALLS/COOLING WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING HOURS AND AID
DESTABILIZATION WITH LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING MLCAPES RUNNING IN
THE 500 TO 1000 J/KG RANGE. MARGINAL INSTABILITY BUT A HIGH SHEAR
ENVIRONMENT CONDUCIVE TO LOW TOPPED SUPERCELLS CAPABLE OF DAMAGING
WINDS/LARGE HAIL AND POSSIBLE TORNADOES. HENCE...THE TORNADO WATCH
FOR MUCH OF LOWER MICHIGAN THAT RUNS UNTIL MIDNIGHT.

ADAM

REST OF THE FORECAST (FRIDAY THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY)...EXTENDED
MODELS CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN OVER THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS BUT THEY DIVERGENCE OVER THE DETAILS. THE MAIN FORECAST
CONCERNS REVOLVE AROUND POPS OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS THEN POPS
AND TEMPERATURES EARLY NEXT WEEK.

FRIDAY...VERTICALLY STACKED LOW PRESSURE STILL EXPECTED TO BE
CENTERED ACROSS WESTERN LAKE SUPERIOR AT 12Z (WITH DEEP SURFACE
REFECTION OF ABOUT 980 MB). MOVEMENT NORTHEAST ACROSS THE REMAINDER
OF LAKE SUPERIOR IS EXPECTED DURING THE DAY. MEANWHILE...SURFACE
COLD FRONT SWEEPS ACROSS FAR EASTERN ZONES DURING THE MORNING. MID
LEVEL DRY SLOT TO FOLLOW FOR A FEW HOURS BEFORE WRAP AROUND MOISTURE
MOVES IN DURING THE AFTERNOON AS OVER LAKE INSTABILITY INCREASES.
THEREFORE...LINGERING BAND OF SHOWERS SHOULD PUSH OFF TO THE EAST IN
THE MORNING BEFORE WRAP AROUND SHOWERS ENHANCES DEVELOPING LAKE
EFFECT DURING THE AFTERNOON. 850 MB TEMPERATURES STEADILY DROP
THROUGH THE DAY SO SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY FOLLOW SUIT
FALLING THROUGH THE 50S AFTER EARLY HIGHS IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 60S.

FRIDAY NIGHT...850 MB TEMPERATURES BOTTOM OUT BETWEEN PLUS 2 AND
PLUS 4 INCREASING OVER LAKE INSTABILITY LEADING TO CONTINUANCE OF
LAKE EFFECT. IN ADDITION...A SHORT WAVE MOVES ACROSS THE REGION
OVERNIGHT (DPVA) LIKELY ENHANCING ACTIVITY. SOUTHWEST 900-700 MB
FLOW VEERS INTO THE WEST OVERNIGHT SO LAKE EFFECT RAIN SHOWERS
EXPECTED IN FAVORED AREAS (LIKELY POPS) WITH CHANCE ELSEWHERE AS
LOWER LEVELS REMAIN RATHER MOIST (MEAN 900-700 MB RH 85 TO 95
PERCENT). LOWS IN THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 40S LARGELY HELD UP BY 10 TO
20 MPH SOUTHWEST WINDS.

SATURDAY...CYCLONIC FLOW GIVES WAY TO RAPID RIDGING AT THE SURFACE
AND ALOFT AS PROGRESSIVE FLOW CONTINUES. THEREFORE...POSSIBLE
LINGERING LAKE EFFECT SHOWERS IN WESTERLY FLOW AREAS IN THE MORNING
(MEAN 900-700 MB RH IS STILL AROUND 90 PERCENT AT 12Z) FOLLOWED BY
CLEARING (AS MEAN 900-700 MB RH FALLS OFF TO NEAR 30 PERCENT BY 18Z)
ALONG WITH MILDER TEMPERATURES. HIGHS RANGING FROM THE UPPER 50S
NORTH TO THE MIDDLE 60S SOUTHEAST.

SUNDAY...RIDGING AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT CONTINUES BUT HEIGHTS
SLOWLY FALL IN THE AFTERNOON. MODEL CROSS SECTIONS SHOW UPPER AND
LOWER LEVEL MOISTURE INCREASING WITH MID LEVELS REMAINING ON THE DRY
SIDE SO INCREASING CLOUDINESS EXPECTED. IN ADDITION...A WARMER
SOUTHERLY FLOW IS IN PLACE LEADING TO HIGHS OF WELL INTO THE 60S TO
THE LOWER 70S.

MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...THIS IS WHERE MODEL INCONSISTENCIES CREEP
INTO THE FORECAST WITH VARYING SOLUTIONS OVER EVOLUTION OF
NORTHERN/SOUTHERN JET STREAMS AND POSSIBLE CUTOFF UPPER LOW TO OUR
SOUTH BREAKING OFF FROM THE FLOW. THEREFORE...CONFIDENCE IS ON THE
LOWER SIDE. MODELS DO BRING A SURFACE COLD FRONT ACROSS THE REGION
ON MONDAY LEADING TO CHANCE POPS. COOLER TEMPERATURES IN ORDER FOR
TUESDAY INTO MIDWEEK BUT AMPLITUDE OF NORTHERN STREAM TROUGH IN
QUESTION. FOR NOW WILL LOWER TEMPERATURES INTO THE UPPER 40S TO
MIDDLE 50S FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY (WHICH IS COOLER THAN NATIONAL
GUIDANCE AND SURROUNDING OFFICES). THIS MAY HAVE TO BE LOWERED MORE
BY LATER SHIFTS IF LATEST GFS/ECMWF COME TO FRUITION. WILL ALSO HAVE
A CHANCE OF SHOWERS FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. POSSIBLE RIDGING AND
WARMER MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES WILL LEAD TO PENCILING IN A DRY DAY
FOR THURSDAY WITH SLIGHTLY MILDER TEMPERATURES.

512 PM EDT THU OCT 18 2007

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF LAKE HURON...LAKE
MICHIGAN...LAKE SUPERIOR...EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN AND NORTHERN LOWER
MICHIGAN.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT

THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND MOVE INTO NORTHERN
MICHIGAN THIS EVENING AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...WITH SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE ACROSS NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN THROUGH
MIDNIGHT. DAMAGING WINDS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH WILL BE THE MAIN
THREAT. HOWEVER...THERE IS ALSO A RISK OF TORNADOES AND LARGE
HAIL.

GALES ARE EXPECTED THROUGH TONIGHT ACROSS ALL NEARSHORE ZONES OF
NORTHERN LAKE MICHIGAN.

WINDS WILL BE GUSTY REGARDLESS OF SHOWERS AND STORMS TONIGHT.
MANY AREAS OF NORTHERN MICHIGAN CAN EXPECT GUSTS OF 30 TO 40 MPH
OUT OF THE SOUTH DUE TO SUCH A STRONG AND DEEP LOW PRESSURE ALONG THE
MINNESOTA AND WISCONSIN BORDER. THESE STRONGER WINDS WILL BE
PRIMARILY FELT ALONG THE LAKE MICHIGAN SHORELINE AND IN THE HIGHER
TERRAIN OF INTERIOR NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...SPOTTERS PLEASE RELAY ANY DAMAGE REPORTS
TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE.
