FEET WILL SUBSIDE TO 2 TO 4 FEET.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY MEANS THAT WIND SPEEDS OF 21 TO 33 KNOTS

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
330 PM EDT SAT SEP 13 2008

.SYNOPSIS.../ISSUED AT 330 PM/

AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE...AND IT/S ASSOCIATED FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL
SLOWLY MOVE THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES TONIGHT. THIS WILL BRING A GOOD
DEAL OF RAINFALL TO THE AREA. PART OF REMNANTS OF IKE WILL CLIP
NORTHERN MICHIGAN LATE SUNDAY...WITH MORE RAIN AND BREEZY
CONDITIONS.

JZ/MPC

&&

.SHORT TERM.../ISSUED AT 330 PM/...TONIGHT

SURFACE LOW PASSING A LITTLE SOUTH OF LA CROSSE WI THIS AFTERNOON.
THE LOW WILL CONTINUE NE-WARD...PASSING OVER GRB ON IT/S WAY TO
EASTERN UPPER MI BY MIDNIGHT...AND NORTH OF GEORGIAN BAY BY MORNING.
MUCH OF NORTHERN LOWER MI WILL BRIEFLY ENTER THE WARM SECTOR OF THE
CYCLONE...BEFORE THE COLD FRONT GOES THRU OVERNIGHT. INITIAL AREA OF
RAIN WORKING THRU NORTHERN MI NOW...ACTIVITY MUCH LESS WIDESPREAD
BACK IN WI. BAND OF HEAVY TO EXCESSIVE RAINFALL EXTENDS FROM
CHICAGOLAND INTO SOUTHERN LOWER. PRECIP TRENDS ARE THE OBVIOUS MAIN
CONCERN FOR TONIGHT.

FOR TONIGHT...RADAR AND MODEL TRENDS AGREE THAT MUCH OF THE
WIDESPREAD/HEAVIER RAIN WILL BE OUT OF THE PICTURE BY 00Z/8PM THIS
EVENING. FORCING FOR ASCENT WANES AS THE LOW LEVEL JET EASES SOUTH
AND EAST OF THE AREA...AND WITH A TENDENCY FOR DRYING ABOVE 700MB.
PLENTY OF MOISTURE BELOW THAT LEVEL...WHICH WHEN COMBINED WITH
GENERAL LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE FROM THE PASSING LOW WILL LEAD TO
CLOUDY SKIES...AND WIDESPREAD DRIZZLE OR VERY LIGHT RAIN...ALONG
WITH FOG.

THERE ARE TWO POSSIBLE EXCEPTIONS TO THIS. WEAKENING SHORTWAVE
EJECTING FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS IS CONTRIBUTING TO SHOWERS AND A
FEW STORMS IN MN/WESTERN WI. EASTERN UPPER MI IS PROGGED TO GET
GRAZED BY THE BETTER MID-LEVEL DYNAMICS LIFTING ACROSS SUPERIOR THIS
EVENING/EARLY OVERNIGHT. HOWEVER...GIVEN THE MOISTURE AVAILABLE...IT
WILL TAKE LITTLE FORCING TO SQUEEZE OUT PRECIP. THUS...BEST RAINS OF
THIS EVENT FOR EASTERN UPPER WILL OCCUR THIS EVENING...MAINLY EARLY.

THE OTHER POTENTIAL TROUBLE SPOT IS NEAR SAGINAW BAY. NAM PROGS THE
ONGOING BAND OF HEAVY RAIN DOWNSTATE TO DUMP 1 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN
IN THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN SAGINAW VALLEY. RADAR TRENDS ARE IN
GENERAL AGREEMENT WITH THE NAM SOLUTION...SUGGESTING HEAVIER PRECIP
WILL GET CLOSE TO THE FAR SE ZONES DURING THE EVENING/EARLY
OVERNIGHT HOURS...BUT NOT QUITE MAKE IT TO GLADWIN/STANDISH/TAWAS.
THIS WILL OBVIOUSLY BE CLOSELY WATCHED. FOR NOW...WILL HANG ONTO A
CHANCE OF THUNDER ONLY IN THOSE FAR SE ZONES...AND WILL KEEP THE
HIGHEST POPS DOWN THERE AS WELL.

COLD ADVECTION WILL GET GOING LATE TONIGHT...BUT NOT SOON OR STRONG
ENOUGH TO SHARPLY LOWER TEMPS AT THE END OF AN OTHERWISE
UNSEASONABLY WARM AND MUGGY NIGHT. MIN TEMPS MAINLY MID 50S TO
AROUND 60.

JZ

.LONG TERM.../ISSUED AT 330 PM/...SUNDAY ONWARD

SUN THRU TUE...MAIN FCST CONCERN OBVIOUSLY CENTERED ON IKES
REMNANTS SUN AFTN/NIGHT...FOLLOWED BY TEMPS/POSSIBLE FROST CONCERNS
HEADING INTO MON NIGHT. AFTER COMING ONSHORE VERY EARLY THIS
MORNING...IKE NOW RAPIDLY ON THE MOVE NORTHWARD...BEING STEERED
AROUND EXPANSIVE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AXIS DRAPED OVER THE
SOUTHEAST...AND ACCELERATED BY SHORTWAVE RAPIDLY DIGGING SOUTHEAST
OUT OF THE NORTHERN ROCKIES ON THE HEELS OF 70+ KNOT JETLET. 12Z
GUIDANCE REMAINS IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH REGARD TO IKE BECOMING
RAPIDLY EXTRATROPICAL/ABSORBED INTO ELONGATED FRONTAL ZONE LATE
TONIGHT...ALL THE WHILE FURTHER ACCELERATING NORTH/NORTHEAST TOWARD
LAKE ERIE BY 00Z MONDAY AS REMNANT ENERGY PHASES WITH INCOMING UPR
MIDWEST SHORTWAVE. THIS TRACK PLACES IMPRESSIVE 700-500MB
DEFORMATION AXIS/DEEP LAYER FGEN BANDING ACRS MAINLY THE SOUTHEAST
THIRD OF THE CWA...LIKELY ENHANCED GIVEN STRONG 850MB CONVERGENCE IN
A DOWNRIGHT TROPICAL ENVIRONMENT (PWATS PUSHING 2+ INCHES JUST SOUTH
OF THE CWA)...AND ALSO AIDED BY STRONGLY DIVERGENT FLOW ALOFT PER
PLACEMENT OF 120+ KNOT JET ENTRANCE REGION OVERHEAD. END RESULT
SHOULD BE A SUBSTANTIAL RAIN ACRS THE SOUTHEAST CWA...TAPERING
RAPIDLY TO THE NORTH AND WEST PER LOCATION ON THE DOWNWARD BRANCH OF
FGEN CIRCULATION. IN FACT...WOULD NOT ENTIRELY BE SURPRISED TO SEE
FAR NORTHWEST LOWER AND MUCH OF EASTERN UPPER AVOID ANY MEASURABLE
PRECIP GIVEN STRONGLY SUBSIDENT REGIME JUST OUTSIDE BEST
FORCING...THOUGH GIVEN PUSH OF QG SUPPORT BY LATE AFTERNOON/EVENING
(AS THE UPR TROUGH SWINGS THRU THE REGION)...CERTAINLY CANNOT CALL
IT DRY AT THIS POINT.

RAPID IMPROVEMENT EXPECTED INTO MONDAY WITH ONSET OF ISENTROPIC
DOWNGLIDE/LOW-MID LEVEL DRYING. FAIRLY STRONG COLD ADVECTION INTO
THE AFTN OF INTEREST FOR POSSIBLE LAKE PROCESSES (H85 TEMPS TAKE A
DIP TOWARD 2C/925MB TEMPS ABOUT 4C)...THOUGH INCREASINGLY
ANTICYCLONIC FLOW REGIME INTO THE LATE AFTN AND CONTINUATION OF
STRONG DRY AIR ADVECTION MAY JUST PRECLUDE MUCH IN WAY OF
ANYTHING...THOUGH WILL PROBABLY BE AT LEAST SOME DIURNALLY DRIVEN
STRATOCU FOR INLAND AREAS WITH STRONG THERMAL TROUGHING OVERHEAD.
COLD ADVECTION SHOULD AID IN HOLDING AFTN TEMPS INTO THE 50S-MID
60S...WHICH THEN SETS UP POTENTIAL COLD TEMPS HEADING INTO MON NIGHT
WITH LOW LEVEL RIDGING BUILDING INTO THE REGION. CURIOUS TO NOTE
GUIDANCE NUMBERS ALREADY DIPPING INTO THE 20S FOR THE USUAL COLD
SPOTS...SO CERTAINLY SOME POTENTIAL FOR VERY COLD READINGS INLAND
LOCATIONS...BUT LESS THAN IDEAL PLACEMENT OF SFC RIDGE ACRS THE
MIDWEST AND POTENTIAL FOR TIGHTENING GRADIENT THRU THE NIGHT
PRECLUDE SIGNIFICANTLY LOWERING NUMBERS AT THIS POINT.

LATER PERIODS (TUE NIGHT THRU SAT)...MAINLY DRY PERIOD OF WX STILL
APPEARS ON TRACK THRU THE EXTENDED...AS LOW/MID LEVEL RIDGING SLOWLY
BUILD EAST OUT OF THE PLAINS/MIDWEST WITH A RETURN TO TROUGHING OVER
THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. HOWEVER...GUIDANCE STILL STRUGGLING QUITE A
BIT WITH A FEW SPECIFICS...NAMELY THE DEGREE OF TROUGHING ACROSS THE
PAC NORTHWEST...AND THE POTENTIAL FOR A LINGERING WEAKNESS ACROSS
THE EASTERN CONUS THRU MIDWEEK. THE ECMWF IS BY FAR THE MOST
AMPLIFIED SOLUTION ACROSS THE WESTERN CONUS...BREAKING CONTINUITY
AND CLOSING OFF A RATHER DEEP CYCLONE OVER THE GREAT BASIN...WHILE
THE UKMET/GFS/GEFS MEAN HOLD ONTO A MUCH MORE SIGNIFICANT WEAKNESS
ACRS THE EAST...EFFECTIVELY FLATTENING AND SLOWING THE APPROACH OF
THE WESTERN RIDGE AND ALLOWING FOR A MUCH MORE AMPLIFIED MID/UPR
LEVEL HEIGHT FIELD OVER EASTERN CANADA/NORTHERN GREAT LAKES.
THANKFULLY...FROM A SENSIBLE WEATHER PERSPECTIVE...LITTLE WOULD
CHANGE WITH EITHER SOLUTION WITH THE EXCEPTION OF TEMPS...AS OVERALL
LOW LEVEL RIDGING/DRYING HOLDS FIRM THROUGHOUT THE REGION. THAT
SAID...SHOULD THE MORE AMPLIFIED SOLUTION OVER THE EAST COME TO
PASS...ENTIRELY POSSIBLE A FEW SHOWERS COULD SNEAK INTO THE PICTURE
THU/FRI TIMEFRAME AS SOUTHWARD DISPLACED POLAR VORTEX SHUNTS A SFC
BOUNDARY THRU THE REGION. GIVEN PLENTY OF DISCREPANCIES...AND AN
OVERALL LACK OF MOISTURE...WILL SIMPLY KEEP THINGS DRY AT THIS
JUNCTURE.

.MARINE.../ISSUED AT 330 PM/

BRIEF PERIOD OF STRONGER N TO NW WINDS WILL FOLLOW A COLD FRONT
ACROSS THE AREA LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY SUNDAY. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
WILL BE ISSUED FOR WHITEFISH BAY ONLY. LAKE MI COAST OF NW LOWER
WILL BE CLOSE...BUT PROBABLY COME UP A LITTLE SHORT. THE REMNANTS OF
IKE WILL MOVE INTO THE SE LAKES LATE SUNDAY. WINDS SHOULD VEER
NORTH/NORTHEAST SUNDAY...AND INCREASE SUNDAY NIGHT POSSIBLY TO GALE
FORCE ESPECIALLY ON LAKE HURON.

.AVIATION.../ISSUED AT 131 PM/...VALID FOR 18Z TAFS

LESS THAN IDEAL FLYING CONDITIONS THRU THE FORECAST. SURFACE LOW IN
NE IOWA WILL MOVE TO NEAR GREEN BAY WI THIS EVENING...AND ACROSS
EASTERN UPPER MI TONIGHT. PREVAILING IFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THIS
AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT AS A WARM FRONT TRIES TO WORK INTO THE
REGION...WITH ATTENDANT RAIN/FOG/LOW CIGS. THE WIDESPREAD RAIN LATE
THIS AFTERNOON WILL EVENTUALLY GIVE WAY TO DRIZZLE TONIGHT. SLIGHT
IMPROVEMENT IS EXPECTED SUNDAY MORNING...AS NORTHWEST WINDS BEHIND
THE DEPARTING LOW GRADUALLY LIFT CIGS AND VSBYS.
