AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
408 AM EDT FRI JUN 6 2008

.DISCUSSION...

...MAIN FORECAST CONCERN IS STRONG GRADIENT WINDS TODAY AND SEVERE
POTENTIAL FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND TOMORROW AFTN/EVENING...

FOR THIS MORNING...HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION LOOKS TO REMAIN OVER THE
FAR WESTERN AREAS OF LAKE SUPERIOR. THIS LINES UP WELL WITH THE BEST
DYNAMICS LOCATED ALONG THE WARM FRONT AND NORTH OF THE MAIN LOW.
MODIFIED WEATHER WORDING FOR LIKELY SHOWERS AND ONLY A CHANCE FOR
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE WEST HALF WITH JUST A CHANCE ACROSS THE
EAST.

DIDN/T MAKE ANY BIG CHANGES TO THE WEATHER GRIDS FOR THIS
AFTERNOON...LEFT THE GENERAL IDEA FROM INHERITED FCST WHICH IS
HIGHER POPS ACROSS THE WEST...HOWEVER DID MOVE HIGHER POPS A BIT
FURTHER EAST. ANY STORMS THAT WOULD DEVELOP HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO
GENERATE STRONG AND PERHAPS DAMAGING WINDS. SOUNDINGS ACROSS THE
AREA SHOW INVERTED V PROFILE AND ARE WELL MIXED TO 800MB. IN
ADDITION...CONVECTIVE TEMPS. ACROSS THE WEST HALF OF UPPER MICHIGAN
ARE ONLY IN THE MID 70S WHICH SHOULDN/T BE HARD TO REACH TODAY.
STILL THINK CAP MAY BE TOO STRONG TO OVERCOME ACROSS THE EAST
HALF...MAINLY EAST OF A LINE FROM MARQUETTE TO MENOMINEE.

OVERNIGHT THE WARM FRONT WILL HAVE MOVED WELL NORTH OF LAKE
SUPERIOR...STRONG SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL ALLOW FOR MID LEVEL
DRYING...THIS WARRANTED A REDUCTION IN POPS OVERNIGHT. ALSO
INCREASED MIN TEMPS IN DOWNSLOPE AREAS...ONT...BIG BAY AND MQT
CITY...AS STRONG SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS CONTINUE. INCREASED POPS FOR
TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND EVENING. BY LATE TOMORROW MORNING STRONG
STRAIGHT UPPER LEVEL JET...115KT+...WILL MOVE OVER THE UPPER GREAT
LAKES AND PROVIDE SOME LIFT...WHILE MAIN FORCING IS CONFINED AHEAD
OF THE COLD FRONT PROGGED TO PASS THROUGH FA TOMORROW EVENING/NIGHT.
STRONG SHEAR...INSTABILITY AND 850 THETA-E RIDGING MOVING INTO THE
FA DURING THIS TIME WILL LEAD TO THE FORMATION OF WELL ORGANIZED
CONVECTION. MAIN CONCERN CONTINUES TO BE DAMAGING WINDS DURING THIS
TIME.
&&

.AVIATION (FOR THE 06Z TAF ISSUANCE)...

WARM FRONT EXTENDING FROM THE CNTRL PLAINS INTO THE LWR GREAT LAKES
WILL LIFT N OVERNIGHT...MOVING N OF UPPER MI BY FRI MORNING. WITH
WARM FRONT S OF BOTH TAF SITES OVERNIGHT AND A ENE FLOW
PREVAILING...LIFR TO VLIFR CIGS/VSBSY WILL LIKELY BE THE RULE AT
KSAW FOR MUCH OF THE FCST PERIOD OVERNIGHT THROUGH MID MORNING.
EXPECT VSBYS TO FALL NEAR IFR AT KCMX OVERNIGHT AS WARM FRONT DRAWS
CLOSER AND FLOW BECOMES MORE ERLY AND BRINGS IN FOG FROM THE LAKE.
THE CIGS AT KCMX ARE LIFR NOW. LOOK FOR IMPROVING VSBYS AND CIGS BY
LATE FRI MORNING AS BETTER MIXING OCCURS IN THE WAKE OF THE WARM
FRONT FOR BOTH SITES. WINDS WILL GET GUSTY LATE IN THE MORNING TO
THE EVENING AT KSAW AND IN THE MORNING AT KCMX. ADDED LLWS FRI NIGHT
WITH LLJ OFF THE SURFACE. CONDITIONS WILL GO TO VFR FRI AFTERNOON AT
BOTH SITES.

&&

.MARINE (FOR THE 4 PM LAKE SUPERIOR FORECAST ISSUANCE)...

DEEP LOW PRES FOR JUNE OVER CENTRAL NEBRASKA WILL TRACK NE REACHING
EXTREME NW MN FRI AFTN AND HUDSON BAY SAT. AS WARM FRONT AND PRES
FALLS LIFT N TOWARD LAKE SUPERIOR TONIGHT...EXPECT E TO NE WINDS TO
INCREASE THIS AFTN AND TONIGHT. INITIALLY...INCREASE WILL BE MOST
DRAMATIC OVER WRN LAKE SUPERIOR WHERE FUNNELING/CONVERGENCE WILL
ENHANCE ERLY WINDS. SUSTAINED GUSTS TO 30KT APPEAR LIKELY THERE
TONIGHT WITH A PERIOD OF E TO NE GALE FORCE GUSTS TO 35 KT FOR A
TIME TONIGHT BTWN THE APOSTLE ISLANDS AND THE MN N SHORE. AS THE
WARM FRONT LIFTS N OF THE LAKE...WINDS WILL DIMINISH OVER THE OPEN
WATERS OF WRN LAKE SUPERIOR FRI WITH AS IS TYPICAL WITH SRLY FLOW OF
WARM AIR OVER COLD WATERS. IN TURN THOUGH SUSTAINED S-SE WINDS WILL
PICK UP TO 30 KT OVER ERN LAKE SUPERIOR AS PRES FALLS OCCUR NORTH OF
THE LAKE AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING LOW. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THERE MAY
BE GALE FORCE GUSTS TO 35KT OVER ERN LAKE SUPERIOR FRI.

ARRIVAL OF A MORE HUMID AIRMASS ALONG WITH SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS AT
TIMES WARRANTS INCLUSION OF FOG IN FCST. AFTER COLD FRONT PASSES FRI
EVENING...WINDS WILL INCREASE AGAIN OVER WRN LAKE SUPERIOR. MAY SEE
SOME SW GALE FORCE GUSTS BTWN THE KEWEENAW AND ISLE ROYALE. WINDS
WILL DIMINISH ACROSS THE LAKE SAT...ESPECIALLY OVER WRN LAKE
SUPERIOR. WINDS WILL BE DIFFICULT TO DISCERN FOR SUN/MON TIME FRAME
DUE TO UNCERTAINTY IN TIMING/LOCATION OF ADDITIONAL WAVES OF LOW
PRES MOVING NE FROM THE PLAINS.
