AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
326 AM EDT THU OCT 30 2008

.SYNOPSIS.../ISSUED AT 326 AM/

MIDNIGHT SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS A BROAD AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER
THE OHIO VALLEY...WITH A RIDGE AXIS EXTENDING NORTHWARD ACROSS LAKE
MICHIGAN/CENTRAL UPPER MI/NORTHWEST ONTARIO.  DRY AIR HAS OVERSPREAD
LOWER MI (PRECIPITABLE WATER ON 00Z APX/DTX SOUNDINGS UNDER 0.20
INCH).  WARM ADVECTION MID AND HIGH CLOUDS OVERSPREADING THE UPPER
GREAT LAKES...DOWNSTREAM OF A LOW AMPLITUDE SHORT WAVE RIDGE
CROSSING MANITOBA/ONTARIO.

THE SURFACE RIDGE WILL PULL EAST TODAY...ALLOWING A STRONG SOUTHWEST
WIND TO DEVELOP AND BRING MILDER AIR INTO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES.
A COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO DROP SOUTHWARD ACROSS NORTHERN MI ON
FRIDAY...BUT OTHER THAN SOME CLOUD COVER THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO
PASS THROUGH DRY...WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE STATE FOR
SATURDAY.

JPB

&&

.SHORT TERM.../ISSUED AT 326 AM/...TODAY

SOME MID/HIGH CLOUDS TO START THE DAY WILL GIVE WAY TO SUNNY SKIES
BY LATE MORNING ACROSS NORTHERN MI.  GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS EXPECTED
TO DEVELOP AS GRADIENT TIGHTENS IN WAKE OF SURFACE RIDGE PASSAGE.
ALTHOUGH MIXING DEPTH WILL BE LIMITED BY STRENGTH OF LOW/MID LEVEL
WARM ADVECTION...STILL EXPECTING TO SEE WIND GUSTS OVER 30 MPH.
WIDESPREAD 50S EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA FOR AFTERNOON HIGHS.

JPB

&&

.LONG TERM.../ISSUED AT 326 AM/...TONIGHT AND BEYOND

TONIGHT...COLD FRONT EXPECTED TO SETTLE ACROSS THE UPPER PENINSULA
OVERNIGHT.  QUESTION FOR TONIGHTS FORECAST WILL FOCUS ON LOW CLOUD
DEVELOPMENT...WITH GFS (WITH SUPPORT FROM THE ECMWF) AND TO SOME
EXTENT THE NAM INDICATING SHALLOW LOW LEVEL MOISTURE RETURN BENEATH
INVERSION INTERACTING WITH CONVERGENCE ALONG APPROACHING BOUNDARY TO
PRODUCE A LOW ST DECK SPREADING/DEVELOPING AT LEAST ACROSS EASTERN
UPPER/FAR NORTHERN LOWER OVERNIGHT.  NOT AN UNREASONABLE IDEA...AND
WILL TREND THE FORECAST IN THAT DIRECTION.

FRIDAY...FRONT WILL SINK SOUTHWARD ACROSS NORTHERN LOWER MI ON
FRIDAY...DRAGGING LOW CLOUD DECK WITH IT ALTHOUGH CLOUD LAYER OUGHT
TO BE FAIRLY THIN AND STILL SHOULD MIX OUT WITH TIME.  DESPITE PLUME
OF STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES SPREADING ACROSS THE LOWER
PENINSULA...CAPPED MOIST LAYER WILL BE TOO SHALLOW TO SUPPORT PRECIP
DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE BOUNDARY.  SO A DRY FRONTAL PASSAGE IS
ANTICIPATED...AND WILL TRY TO LEAN THE FORECAST TOWARD MORE CLOUDS
EARLY AND LESS CLOUD COVER IN THE AFTERNOON.  OVERALL LOOKS LIKE
GOOD WEATHER FOR TRICK-OR-TREATERS BY FRIDAY EVENING...WITH
RELATIVELY LIGHT WINDS AND TEMPERATURES MAINLY IN THE MID 40S TO
AROUND 50.  SHALLOW COOL AIR SPILLS INTO THE REGION FRIDAY NIGHT...
WITH 925MB TEMPERATURES FALLING INTO THE 0 TO -4C RANGE OVERNIGHT
OVER LAKE HURON WHERE LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL SWING AROUND TO THE
NORTHEAST AS SURFACE HIGH MOVES IN FROM THE NORTH.  THIS COULD BRING
SOME SHALLOW LAKE SC INTO NORTHEAST LOWER AFTER MIDNIGHT.

EARLY EXTENDED RANGE (SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY)...COOLING DOWN AGAIN
FOR SATURDAY BEHIND COLD FRONT...SOMETHING NEAR OR JUST A BIT COOLER
THAN NORMAL FOR THE FIRST WEEKEND IN NOVEMBER.  TEMPERATURES
EXPECTED TO MODERATE FOR SUNDAY/MONDAY...BUT AS THE WARM AIR RETURNS
ONCE AGAIN WILL EVENTUALLY NEED TO LOOK AT THREAT FOR WARM ADVECTION
PRECIPITATION...ESPECIALLY FOR SUNDAY.

JPB

.MARINE.../ISSUED AT 326 AM/

GALE WARNINGS ARE ALREADY UP WITHIN THE LAKE MICHIGAN NEARSHORE
ZONES (SANS GRAND TRAVERSE BAY) AND THE STRAITS OF MACKINAC IN
ANTICIPATION OF A RAPID INCREASE IN WINDS THIS MORNING.  SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORIES WILL BE ISSUED FOR REMAINING NEARSHORE ZONES FOR TODAY
THROUGH TONIGHT.  WINDS SHOULD DIMINISH TONIGHT AS GRADIENT BEGINS
TO SLACKEN AND LOW LEVEL WARM ADVECTION INCREASES OVER WATER
STABILITY.  COLD FRONT DROPPING SOUTH ACROSS THE STATE FRIDAY WILL
SWITCH WINDS AROUND TO THE NORTHWEST.  OTHER THAN POSSIBLY SOME
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES FRIDAY MORNING DUE TO LINGERING WAVE
ACTION...NOT ANTICIPATING ADDITIONAL HEADLINE CRITERIA CONDITIONS
INTO SATURDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE FORECAST AREA.

JPB

&&

.AVIATION.../ISSUED AT 120 AM/...VALID FOR 06Z TAFS

PREVAILING VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD DUE TO A LARGE
AREA OF SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE. AREAS OF MID/HIGH CLOUDS EARLY THIS
MORNING FROM WARM AIR ADVECTION ALOFT. AS THE SURFACE HIGH MOVES
OFF TO OUR SOUTHEAST LATER THIS MORNING...SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL INCREASE
WITH GUSTS TO BETWEEN 20 AND 25 KNOTS.
