AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
117 AM EDT WED APR 11 2007

.AVIATION...HIGHER CLOUDS ARE MOVING IN. THE CAVEAT TO THE
PRECIPITATION MOVING INTO TVC BY MORNING WILL BE THE DRIER AIR THAT
IS STREAMING OUT OF THE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE
FORECAST AREA. HOWEVER, THE TIMING CURRENTLY DOESNT LOOK TOO BAD
FOR THE MORNING SO HAVE LEFT THE 15Z START (ALTHOUGH IT IS IN A
PROB30 GROUP) THE MAIN ACTION DOESNT START UNTIL AFTER 18Z. AS THE
GRADIENT TIGHTENS...THE WINDS WILL PICK UP SO EXPECT 15-20 KNOT
SUSTAINED WINDS BY THE LATE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING WITH
GUSTS TO 30 KNOTS. OTHERWISE THE SNOW MOVES IN...IT WILL A HEAVY WET
SNOW ESPECIALLY AT THE BEGINNING WITH THE WARMER AFTERNOON
TEMPERATURES.

LUTZ

&&

.UPDATE...ISSUED 1039 PM EDT TUE APR 10 2007

HIGHER CLOUDS ARE BEGINNING TO MAKE THEIR WAY INTO THE REGION WITH
THE LOWER LEVEL ONES PRETTY MUCH GONE. THE ONLY LOW/MID LEVEL CLOUDS
WERE IN THE HILLS TO THE NORTH AND EAST OF CYAM. THE SFC AIR
HOWEVER, IS QUITE DRY WITH THE DEWPOINTS BETWEEN 15-20F, AND WITH
THE STREAMLINES ORIGINATING OUT OF THAT AREA, HAVE LOWERED THE POPS
IN THE SW PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA, SINCE THIS IS SLOWING THE
ADVANCE OF THE PRECIPITATION. OTHERWISE NO WIND OR TEMPERATURE
CHANGES OVERNIGHT.

LUTZ

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 315 PM EDT TUE APR 10 2007/

DISCUSSION...SURFACE RIDGE AXIS HAS SHIFTED EAST INTO LAKE HURON
LATE THIS AFTERNOON. SHALLOW DIURNAL CU HAS DEVELOPED LATE IN THE
DAY...MAINLY ACROSS THE SE HALF OF THE CWA AND IN ERN UPR MICHIGAN.
OTHERWISE...A THIN VEIL OF CI IS PUSHING NE INTO THE STATE AHEAD OF
THE DEVELOPING PLAINS SYSTEM. ALL EYES ARE ON THIS UPSTREAM
SYSTEM...SPECIFICALLY WITH RESPECT TO THE POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER
ROUND OF SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL ON WEDNESDAY. AND YET
ANOTHER POTENT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM PROVIDING THE POTENTIAL FOR MIXED
PRECIP AND/OR ADDITIONAL SNOWFALL IS IN THE MAKING FOR THE WEEKEND.

TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING...SURFACE RIDGE AXIS WILL SHIFT
EASTWARD INTO NEW ENGLAND TONIGHT AS THE DEVELOPING LOW MOVES INTO
NRN MISSOURI AND CENTRAL ILLINOIS OVERNIGHT AND WEDNESDAY MORNING.
CLOSED UPPER LOW WILL BE FAST ON ITS HEELS...WITH PRONOUNCED UPPER
DIVERGENCE DEVELOPING BY WEDNESDAY MORNING ACROSS THE SRN GREAT
LAKES AND LOCATIONS NORTH OF THE OHIO VALLEY. ISENTROPIC ASCENT
(I290) WILL BEGIN ACROSS THE SW CWA OVERNIGHT...BUT DRY LOW LEVEL
EASTERLY FLOW WILL INITIALLY ERODE INCREASING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND
LEADING EDGE OF PRECIP SHIELD. THUS...FOR TONIGHT...MID/UPPER LEVEL
CLOUDS WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE...LOWER AND THICKEN. LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE IN THE SW CWA...BUT ANY CHANCES OF
PRECIP REACHING THE GROUND SHOULD HOLD OFF UNTIL VERY LATE TONIGHT.
PRECIP SHIELD WILL PUSH FURTHER NE INTO LOCATIONS S OF ALINE FROM
CVX TO HARRISVILLE BY MIDDAY. AT THIS POINT...SNOW AMOUNTS WILL BE
LIGHT (UNDER AN INCH) UNTIL BETTER DYNAMICS/FORCING AND DEEPER
MOISTURE ARRIVES IN THE AFTERNOON. TEMPS WILL DROP BACK INTO THE
TEENS ACROSS THE NE HALF OF THE CWA WHERE CLOUDS WILL BE SLOWER TO
INCREASE AND THICKEN. EXPECT LOW TEMPS IN THE LOWER TO MID 20S IN
THE SW CWA.

WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT...MODEL DISCREPANCIES SEEM TO HAVE
WORKED THEMSELVES OUT FOR THE MOST PART. UPPER DIVERGENCE WILL
BECOME MORE PRONOUNCED ACROSS MICHIGAN BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AS THE
500 MB LOW DIGS INTO ILLINOIS...ALMOST CATCHING UP WITH THE SURFACE
LOW. UPPER LEVEL WIND FIELDS INDICATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF JET
COUPLING AND STRONG 700-500 MB F-GEN FORCING ACROSS NRN LWR MICHIGAN
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THIS IS ALSO THE PERIOD OF
STRONGEST ISENTROPIC ASCENT (I290)...WITH WINDS STRENGTHENING TO
NEAR 50 KFT AND NEARLY PERPENDICULAR TO TIGHTLY PACKED PRESSURE
SURFACES. MOISTURE CROSS SECTIONS SHOW DEEP MOISTURE SURGING
NORTHWARD THRU THE REMAINDER OF THE CWA BY LATE AFTERNOON...WITH
MIXING RATIOS INCREASING TO 3-4 G/KG. ALL OF THE ABOVE FEATURES
REMAIN IN TACT FROM MID/LATE AFTERNOON THRU MOST OF THE NIGHT. ALL
OF THE ABOVE POINTS TOWARD A HEAVY WET SNOW EVENT SHAPING UP FOR OUR
CWA WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS SHOULD TARGET
NRN LWR MICHIGAN...SPECIFICALLY AREAS ALONG AND SOUTH OF M 32 WHERE
STRONGEST LIFT AND HIGHEST MIXING RATIOS WILL RESIDE. WILL HOIST A
WINTER STORM WATCH FOR ALL OF NRN LOWER MICHIGAN FOR THE POTENTIAL
OF 6 TO 9 INCHES OF NEW SNOW BY EARLY THURSDAY MORNING. ERN UPR
MICHIGAN SHOULD ALSO RECEIVE ACCUMULATING SNOW...BUT AMOUNTS SHOULD
FALL MORE INTO THE ADVISORY CATEGORY.

THURSDAY...LATEST WINTER STORM EVENT WILL BE WINDING DOWN ON
THURSDAY.  ISENTROPIC ADIABATIC OMEGA ON THE 300K SURFACE DIMINISHES
RAPIDLY BETWEEN 12-18Z FROM W-E...AS MID LEVEL CIRCULATION MOVES
EAST.  MID/UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE WILL STRIP OUT TO THE EAST DURING
THE MORNING HOURS BUT PLENTY OF SUB 850MB MOISTURE.  SO STEADIER
SNOW WILL TRANSITION TO FLURRIES/AREAS OF LIGHT SNOW AS THE DAY
PROGRESSES.  NO REAL COLD AIR BEHIND THIS SYSTEM...WITH H8
TEMPERATURES BETWEEN -5 TO -6 DEGC.  SO LITTLE IN THE WAY OF LAKE
CONTRIBUTION TO THE SNOW.   WARM CONVEYOR BELT ACCUMULATING SNOW
THRU 15Z FROM NORTHEAST LOWER FAR EASTERN UPPER /DRUMMOND
ISLAND/...WITH LITTLE ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATION FROM MIDDAY INTO THE
AFTERNOON HOURS.  BRISK WINDS DURING THE MORNING WILL GRADUALLY
DIMINISH TO LESS THAN 10 KTS BY LATE AFTERNOON.

QUIET WEATHER THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY WITH RIDGE AXIS BUILDING
TOWARD THE OHIO VALLEY/GREAT LAKES AS NEXT SURFACE LOW MOVES OUT OF
THE SOUTHERN PLAINS.  MOISTURE BECOMES VERY SHALLOW BY 12Z
FRIDAY...ALTHOUGH CROSS SECTIONS AND FORECAST SOUNDINGS STILL SHOW
PERSISTENT MOISTURE BELOW THE INVERSION.  I WILL BE OPTIMISTIC AND
GO FOR PARTLY SUNNY SKIES ON FRIDAY.

ATTENTION FOR FRIDAY NIGHT INTO THE WEEKEND TURNS TOWARD NEXT SYSTEM
MOVING OUT OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS.  VERY POOR CONTINUITY AMONG
MODELS ON EXACTLY HOW STRONG THIS SYSTEM IS GOING TO BE AND TO WHAT
DEGREE NORTHERN STREAM ENERGY WILL PHASE WITH SOUTHERN STREAM
MOISTURE.  AGREEMENT AMONG ALL MODELS ON STRONG BAROCLINIC ZONE
SETTING UP ACROSS THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES.  DISAGREEMENT AMONG
MODELS ON WHETHER SOUTHERN PLAINS SYSTEM WILL PHASE WITH NORTHERN
STREAM SHORTWAVE MOVING OUT OF THE UPPER MIDWEST.  12Z GFS WANTS TO
PHASE THINGS...UKMET AND CANADIAN ARE FURTHER SOUTH AND DO NOT
PHASE.  WITH VERY STRONG ISENTROPIC ASCENT ON THE 300K SURFACE AND
LOTS OF AVAILABLE MOISTURE /GULF OF MEXICO OPEN FOR BUSINESS/...I
WILL GO WITH LIKELY POPS ACROSS ALL OF NORTHERN LOWER FOR SATURDAY
WITH CHANCE POPS OVER EASTERN UPPER.  MORE WARM AIR WILL WRAP INTO
THIS SYSTEM THAN PREVIOUS ONES...AND SOUTHERN PARTS OF THE CWA MAY
SEE MORE LIQUID THAN FROZEN.
