AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
1145 PM EDT SAT OCT 18 2008

.SYNOPSIS.../ISSUED AT 401 PM/

HIGH PRESSURE OVER MICHIGAN WILL SLIDE TO THE EAST...ALLOWING A
SLIGHTLY WARMER SOUTHERLY FLOW TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE AREA. AN
APPROACHING STORM SYSTEM WILL SPREAD INCREASING CLOUDS INTO THE
REGION ON SUNDAY WITH SHOWERS FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK.

&&

.SHORT TERM.../ISSUED AT 1009 PM/...TONIGHT

01Z MESOANALYSIS SHOWS HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER GEORGIAN BAY
AND ADJACENT AREAS OF SOUTHWEST ONTARIO...SOUTHERLY PRESSURE
GRADIENT STARTING TO TIGHTEN UP ACROSS THE UPPER PENINSULA. MUCH
OF SC THAT PLAGUED NORTHERN MI EARLIER TODAY HAS DISSIPATED...
STILL SOME LEFT OVER ACROSS NORTHERN LAKE MICHIGAN DRIFTING INTO
EASTERN UPPER. STRONG WARM ADVECTION UPSTREAM ACROSS THE UPPER
MIDWEST PUSHING AC ACROSS NORTHERN ND/MN/LAKE SUPERIOR...ALONG
WITH SOME SPOTTY RADAR RETURNS. STILL LOOKS LIKE CLOUDS WILL
THICKEN ACROSS UPPER MI OVERNIGHT...WITH THINNER CLOUDS COVER
ACROSS NORTHERN LOWER. WILL HAVE TO MAKE SOME DOWNWARD ADJUSTMENTS
TO TEMPERATURES AS SOME LOCALES HAVE REALLY DROPPED OFF (32 GOV/
33 PLN/34 CAD).

JPB

&&

.LONG TERM.../ISSUED AT 401 PM/...SUNDAY AND BEYOND

SUNDAY...SOME CHANGES BEGINS TO TAKE HOLD AS SHORTWAVE...SEEN ON
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY THIS AFTERNOON PIVOTING INTO SOUTHWEST
ALBERTA...SLIDES ACROSS SOUTHERN CANADA...DRAGGING A STRENGTHENING
COLD FRONT INTO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES DURING THE AFTERNOON.
MOISTURE ADVECTION AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE NOT OVERLY IMPRESSIVE...BUT
STILL A NICE TONGUE OF PWATS APPROACHING NEAR AN INCH AND 850MB
DEW POINTS IN THE MID SINGLE DIGITS. BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF A LITTLE
QUICKER MOISTENING UP THE COLUMN OVER THE FAR NORTH THROUGH
ISENTROPIC ASCENT...RESULTING IN SOME LIGHT SHOWER CHANCES SLOWLY
SPREADING SOUTH THROUGH THE DAY ACROSS EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN AND
THE STRAITS REGION. GIVEN CONSISTENCY SEEN IN THESE ITERATIONS...
WILL FOLLOW THEIR LEAD AND KEEP LOW CHANCE SHOWER MENTION IN THESE
REGIONS. NOT EXPECTING THIS TO BE A WASHOUT BY ANY MEANS WITH BEST
MOISTURE FEED REMAINING WELL WEST OF THE AREA. OTHERWISE...MOST OF
NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN LOOKS TO REMAIN DRY UNDER PARTLY TO MOSTLY
CLOUDY SKIES. SOLID WAA REGIME (RESULTING IN SOME GUSTY SOUTHWEST
WINDS) AT LEAST PARTIALLY OFFSET BY INCREASING CLOUD COVER.
STILL...TEMPERATURES SHOULD EASILY RISE INTO THE MID TO UPPER
50S...WITH EVEN A FEW LOWER 60S POSSIBLE ACROSS FAR SOUTHWEST ZONES.

MSB

TRANSITIONAL LONG WAVE PATTERN WITH ACTIVE NORTHERN STREAM ENERGY
TO BRING A FRONT AND ASSOCIATED SHORTWAVE ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES
ON MONDAY. FAIRLY ROBUST SYSTEM WITH FAVORABLE SURFACE CONVERGENCE
AND KINEMATICS. THESE DYNAMICS WILL RESULT IN LIKELY SHOWERS. H5
TROF SLIDES EAST OF THE AREA MONDAY NIGHT...BUT LINGERING LOW/MID
LEVEL MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THERMAL TROF AND DEVELOPING CAA
WILL KEEP A FEW SHOWERS GOING INTO THE EVENING HOURS. AS SYNOPTIC
FORCING PULLS EAST...BRIEF PERIOD OF LIGHT LAKE EFFECT SHOWERS IN
N/NE FLOW WILL DEVELOP WITH INVERSION HEIGHTS OF AROUND 6K AND
DELTA T/S OF 16-18C. NOSE OF CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE WILL FINALLY
MOVE INTO THE AREA ON TUESDAY BRINGING DRIER CONDITIONS AND
SUBSIDENCE. WITH CORE OF COLDEST H8 AIR MOVING THRU THE AREA ON
TUESDAY...WILL LOWER TEMPS 3-5 DEGF IN MOST AREAS. THIS WILL SET
THE STAGE FOR POSSIBLY THE COLDEST NIGHT OF THE FALL ON TUESDAY
NIGHT WITH WIDESPREAD 20S AND EVEN SOME UPPER TEENS POSSIBLE.

FOCUS THEN SHIFTS TO THE WEST.  ENERGY DIVING THROUGH THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST WILL SLIDE TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE COUNTRY THROUGH MUCH
OF THE UPCOMING WEEK...EVENTUALLY CUTTING OFF FROM THE WESTERLIES
ACROSS THE MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.  WILL TAKE A MODEL BLEND BETWEEN
THE GFS/ECMWF WITH POSITION OF UPPER LOW...PLACING IT OVER SOUTHERN
ILLINOIS BY WEEK/S END.  FOR NORTHERN MICHIGAN...THIS CUTOFF FEATURE
WILL REMAIN FAR ENOUGH TO OUR SOUTH/WEST TO INDUCE RIDGING OVER THE
GREAT LAKES.  THIS WILL RESULT IN A RATHER TRANQUIL STRETCH OF
WEATHER ACROSS THE AREA WITH TEMPERATURES CLOSE TO NORMAL AND DRY
CONDITIONS.  NO RAIN CHANCES UNTIL NEXT FRIDAY/SATURDAY AS UPPER LOW
FINALLY GETS KICKED TOWARD THE NORTHERN OHIO VALLEY.

.MARINE.../ISSUED AT 401 PM/

BOATING CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO DETERIORATE...ESPECIALLY ACROSS
LAKE MICHIGAN AND WHITEFISH BAY...LATER THIS EVENING... CONTINUING
THROUGH AT LEAST SUNDAY NIGHT...AS PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS
BETWEEN DEPARTING HIGH PRESSURE AND APPROACHING COLD FRONT. THIS
WILL RESULT IN GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS ACROSS NORTHERN LAKE MICHIGAN
AND WHITEFISH BAY...WITH FREQUENT GUSTS APPROACHING 30 KNOTS.
RESULTING WAVE HEIGHT WILL ALSO BUILD...WITH WAVES ACROSS LAKE
MICHIGAN WELL OVER SCA CRITERIA. SOME CONCERN FOR LOCALIZED GALE
CONDITIONS IN FAVORABLE CONVERGENCE AXIS ALONG NORTHWEST LOWER
MICHIGAN SUNDAY. HOWEVER...GIVEN RATHER UNFAVORABLE WAA REGIME...
CURRENT THINKING IS GUSTS WILL STAY BELOW THRESHOLD. CAA AND A
TIGHTENING SURFACE GRADIENT BEHIND A DEVELOPING UPPER LOW WILL
RESULT IN POSSIBLE GALES FOR ALL THE NORTHERN LAKES FROM LATE
MONDAY AFTERNOON INTO MONDAY NIGHT WITH GUSTS OVER 40KTS POSSIBLE.
WINDS DIMINISH GRADUALLY BY TUESDAY MORNING...ALTHOUGH GALE FORCE
GUSTS STILL POSSIBLE THROUGH THE MORNING ON NORTHERN LAKE HURON.

&&

.AVIATION.../ISSUED AT 1145 PM/...VALID FOR 06Z TAFS

VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON...CEILINGS WILL
LOWER DURING THE DAY SUNDAY. LLWS POSSIBLE TONIGHT AROUND
PLN...GUSTY WINDS DEVELOPING FROM THE SOUTHWEST AT ALL TERMINALS
SUNDAY MORNING.
