AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
755 PM EDT WED APR 9 2008

UPDATED FOR 00Z TAF ISSUANCE

SHORT TERM TO 00Z FRI...
UPPER AIR PATTERN CONSISTS OF A 500 MB NEGATIVELY TILTED TROUGH AND
CLOSED LOW OVER THE U.P. LATE THIS MORNING AND THIS CONTINUES TO
PULL OUT. ATTENTION THEN TURNS TO THE NEXT STORM WHICH WILL BE A
POWERFUL AND BIG STORM AND THIS SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY WITH A DEEP
TROUGH IN THE ROCKIES.

NAM SHOWS A SHORTWAVE RIDGE AFFECTING THE AREA TONIGHT WITH A CLOSED
500 MB LOW FORMING IN THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN TROUGH AND CLOSING OFF 12Z
THU. THE NAM THEN TAKES THIS 500 MB CLOSED LOW NE AND HEADS IT
SLOWLY EAST TO SW LOWER MI 00Z SUN. NAM TAKES THE SFC LOW FROM NORTH
OF KOKC 12Z THU TO NEAR CLEAR LAKE IOWA 12Z FRI TO NW OF KMKE 12Z
SAT TO NEAR SAGINAW BAY 00Z SUN. GFS TAKES THE SFC LOW FROM SOUTH OF
KICT 12Z THU TO NEAR KFOD 12Z FRI TO CENTRAL LOWER MI 12Z SAT TO THE
EASTERN SEABOARD 00Z SUN. NAM IS A BIT QUICKER BRINGING IN SOME QPF
WITH THE SW CWA GETTING QPF BY 00Z FRI. NAM ALSO BRINGS IN SOME
850-500 MB Q-VECTOR CONVERGENCE ALONG WITH DEEP MOISTURE 00Z ACROSS
THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA WITH STRONGER DYNAMICS AND DEEPER
MOISTURE ARRIVING THU NIGHT. NAM SHOWING ISENTROPIC LIFT WITH EAST
FLOW 00Z FRI...BUT FLOW IS FROM A DRY HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM TO THE
NORTH AND THINKING IS THAT THE NAM MIGHT BE A BIT TOO QUICK TO BRING
PCPN INTO CWA LATE THU AFTERNOON WITH DRY EASTERLY FLOW IN THE LOW
LEVELS. GFS IS ABOUT THE SAME AND AGAIN LOOKS TO BE TOO QUICK
BRINGING IN PCPN WITH THAT DRY NORTH AND EAST FLOW ON THE ISENTROPIC
SURFACES IN THE LOW LEVELS. THIS DRY AIR WILL HAVE TO BE OVERCOME
AND WILL TAKE A WHILE WITH VIRGA HAVING TO MOISTEN THE LOWER LEVELS
TO GET PCPN TO THE SURFACE. WILL CONTINUE DRY FOR NOW THROUGH THU.

MAIN STORY TONIGHT WILL BE THE LOW CLOUDS WHICH SHOULD STICK AROUND
FOR A WHILE. 12Z KINL...KMSP AND KGRB SOUNDINGS SHOWED AN INVERSION
WITH MOISTURE TRAPPED AT THE LOW LEVELS. VISIBLE SATELLITE SHOWS LOW
CLOUDS AROUND THE AREA ARE HAVING A HARD TIME ERODING AND MIXING OUT
WITH THIS INVERSION EXCEPT IN A FEW PLACES WHERE SOME DOWNSLOPE IS
OCCURRING WHICH IS CAUSING SOME THINNING OF THE LOW CLOUDS. NAM
SHOWING ON ISENTROPIC SURFACES AT THE LOWEST LEVELS BELOW 925 MB
THAT THIS MOISTURE STAYS THROUGH THE NIGHT AND IT LINED UP WELL ON
ISENTROPIC SURFACES ON I270K-I285K WITH LOTS OF MOISTURE WHERE THESE
LOW CLOUDS WERE TODAY. NAM SHOWS THIS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINING
OVERNIGHT...SO THINKING IS THAT EVEN IF IT TRIES TO CLEAR OR SOME
THIN SPOTS OPEN UP...THESE WILL QUICKLY FILL BACK IN TONIGHT.
TEMPERATURES WILL NOT MOVE MUCH AND WENT SLIGHTLY WARMER FOR LOWS
TONIGHT DUE TO CLOUD COVER. CUT HIGHS BACK ON THU A BIT WITH PLENTY
OF CLOUDS WITH LOW CLOUDS EARLY REPLACED BY A MID AND HIGH LEVEL
DECK THROUGHOUT THE MORNING WITH VERY LITTLE CHANCE FOR ANY SUNSHINE.

.LONG TERM...
THE GFS IS COMING MORE IN LINE WITH THE CANADIAN AND EUROPEAN
MODELS. THUS WILL GO WITH A COMPROMISE OF THESE SOLUTIONS WITH THE
GREATER EMPHASIZE ON THE ECMWF/CANADIAN. AFTER H72...WENT WITH ONLY
ECMWF. SEE HPC DISCUSSION ON THIS SUBJECT. THE MID LEVEL LOW WILL
SHIFT TO NEAR KOMA AREA THURSDAY NIGHT AS THE SURFACE LOW SLIDES
INTO NORTH CENTRAL IOWA. A WARM FRONT LEADING THE LOW WILL STRETCH
ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS...SOUTHERN MICHIGAN INTO THE LOWER GREAT
LAKES. A COLD FRONT WILL EXTENDING SOUTH FROM LOW THROUGH THE MIDDLE
AND LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY. A LARGE HIGH WILL REMAIN OVER
HUDSON BAY. 290K ISENTROPIC ANALYSIS AHEAD OF THE LOW SHOWS STRONG
LOW LEVEL ASCENT OVER THE FORECAST AREA. THIS ALONG WITH THE STRONG
PVA/Q-VECTOR CONVERGENCE PASSING OVER THE AREA WILL CONTRIBUTE TO
MOST OF THE INSTABILITY OVER THE AREA. CONSIDERABLE LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE WILL FEED INTO THE AREA TO ADD TO THE PRECIPITATION. A DRY
SLOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW WILL STAY FAR ENOUGH TO THE SOUTH THAT
SHOULD NOT AFFECT THE AREA. TEMPERATURES PROFILES OF THE ATMOSPHERE
WILL BE THE CRITICAL FACTOR IN DETERMINING RAIN/SNOW RATIO. PROFILES
SUGGEST THE EASTERN U.P. WILL SEE MORE RAIN/SNOW MIX. OVERNIGHT THE
RAIN/SNOW MIX WILL CHANGE OVER TO MAINLY SNOW AFTER MIDNIGHT.

THE LOW WILL SHIFT NORTHEAST INTO NORTHEAST IOWA FRIDAY AFTERNOON
AND REACHING CENTRAL WISCONSIN ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON. MOISTURE WILL
