AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI
302 AM EST FRI JAN 23 2009

.SHORT TERM...TODAY

CLEARING SKIES DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS WILL LEAD TO SOME
PATCHY FOG EARLY THIS MORNING UNTIL SOUTHERLY WINDS PICK UP WITH
SOME MORNING SUNSHINE TO ERODE THE FOG IN PLACE ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN
MICHIGAN. ALTHOUGH SOME VISIBILITIES WILL DROP BELOW 1 MILE AT
TIMES...IT SHOULD BE PATCHY ENOUGH AND LAST A SHORT ENOUGH TIME TO
FORGO ANY HEADLINES FOR THE MORNING COMMUTE.

WITH A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TRACKING THROUGH LOWER MICHIGAN TODAY
PRECIPITATION CHANCES BECOME THE MAIN CONCERN. DESPITE THE DYNAMICS
ASSOCIATED WITH A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TRACKING THROUGH THE
REGION...MOISTURE IS VERY LIMITED WITH NOTHING SHOWING UP ON RADAR
OR SURFACE OBSERVATIONS WITH THE LOW ACROSS SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL
WISCONSIN EARLY THIS MORNING. WITH MOS GUIDANCE POPS VERY LOW
TODAY...WILL KEEP THE AREA DRY THIS MORNING UNTIL A BIT DEEPER
MOISTURE ARRIVES DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS AS SHOWN IN BUFKIT
SOUNDINGS AFTER THE LOW ITSELF MOVES TO THE EAST OF MICHIGAN.

ALTHOUGH THE AREA WILL SEE SOME SUN THIS MORNING...A STRONG
INVERSION IN PLACE ACROSS THE CWA...AS EVIDENCED IN LOCAL TAMDAR
SOUNDINGS AND SHOWN TO PERSIST IN THE BUFKIT SOUNDINGS TODAY...COULD
POSE A PROBLEM FOR HIGH TEMPERATURES AS THE DEPTH OF THE MIXED LAYER
WILL BE VERY LIMITED GIVEN ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER THIS AFTERNOON AND
COLD TEMPERATURES IN PLACE DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. WITH THE
INVERSION AND CLOUDS EXPECTED TO MOVE IN FROM THE WEST WILL LEAN
TOWARDS THE COOLER MET MOS NUMBERS TODAY AS THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO
BE ENOUGH SUNSHINE TO MIX INTO A DEEP ENOUGH LAYER TO REACH THE
HIGHER MAV MOS NUMBERS.

&&

.LONG TERM...

POLAR VORTEX WILL DROP SOUTHEAST INTO EASTERN CANADA OVER THE
WEEKEND...WITH WEST-NORTHWEST UPPER LEVEL CONFLUENT FLOW/GENERAL
SUBSIDENCE THE RULE FOR SOUTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN...CONTINUING INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK (FOR THE MOST PART). WITH THE DRYNESS OF THE ARCTIC
AIRMASS...LOW INVERSION HEIGHTS...AND SIGNIFICANT ICE COVERAGE ON
LAKE MICHIGAN...NOT LOOKING AT MUCH LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY
MAKING IT THIS FAR EAST OVER THE WEEKEND...AND THINKING WE ARE
LOOKING AT FLURRIES IF ANYTHING. WITH THAT IN MIND...WILL BE
UNDERCUTTING GUIDANCE...MAINLY ON MINS...AS THE TYPICAL LOW LEVEL
MOIST BIAS APPEARS EVIDENT IN THE 925 MB RH FIELDS.

THIS BLAST OF ARCTIC AIR IS CERTAINLY NOT AS COLD AS THE ONE LAST
WEEK...AS 1000-500 MB THICKNESSES REMAIN ABOVE 500 M AND 925 MB
TEMPS FORECASTED TO FALL TO ONLY AROUND -17 C. HOWEVER...WITH A GOOD
PRESSURE GRADIENT LEADING TO SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS OF 10 TO 15
MPH...COUPLED WITH TEMPERATURES HOVERING AROUND ZERO...WIND CHILLS
LOOK TO REACH 15 BELOW/APPROACHING 20 BELOW ZERO SATURDAY NIGHT.
SUNDAY NIGHT LOOKS TO BE A MORE FAVORABLE RADIATING NIGHT AS 1034 MB
SURFACE HIGH/PRONOUNCED RIDGING SETTLES OVER THE AREA AND WINDS GO
CALM. HOWEVER...MID CLOUDS COULD BE A PROBLEM...ESPECIALLY IN THE
SOUTH. WILL THUS NOT DEVIATE MUCH FROM ZERO DEGREES AT THE PRESENT
TIME...A FEW DEGREES BELOW ZERO NORTH OF M-59...AND A FEW DEGREES
ABOVE ZERO SOUTH OF M-59.

THE ENSEMBLE MEAN AND THE 00Z EUROPEAN SHOWING NORTHERN STREAM
SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH THE SURFACE
HIGH PERSISTING OVER NORTHERN OHIO VALLEY/SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES INTO
TUESDAY NIGHT...WHICH SHOULD MAINTAIN TEMPERATURES A GOOD 10 DEGREES
BELOW NORMAL MONDAY/TUESDAY.

&&

.MARINE...

RELATIVELY LIGHT WINDS THIS MORNING WILL BECOME GUSTY OUT OF THE
NORTHWEST LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
MOVES THROUGH THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES. WITH THE GUSTY WINDS WILL
ISSUE BRISK WIND ADVISORIES FOR THE NEARSHORE WATERS THIS AFTERNOON
AND TONIGHT...WITH GALE WARNINGS FOR THE OPEN WATERS FROM PRESQUE
ISLE TO ALABASTAR AS A BRIEF PERIOD OF GALE FORCE WINDS ARE EXPECTED
ACROSS THESE ZONES.

ALTHOUGH WINDS WILL DECREASE ACROSS MOST NEARSHORE ZONES
TONIGHT...BRISK WIND CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE FOR THE LAKE HURON
NEARSHORE WATERS THROUGH SUNDAY AS GUSTY WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS
CONTINUE AS ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH THE NORTHERN
GREAT LAKES. A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE CENTRAL

AVIATION...

LATEST TRENDS IN THE SATELLITE DATA SUGGEST THE IFR STRATUS DECK
WILL LIFT NORTH OF MBS WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS OF TAF ISSUANCE.
THIS WILL ALLOW GENERALLY CLEAR SKIES TO PREVAIL THROUGH DAYBREAK
WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SOME CIRRUS. THESE CLEAR SKIES HAVE RESULTED
IN MORE SIGNIFICANT RADIATIONAL COOLING THAN ANTICIPATED
EARLIER...ALLOWING FOG TO BE A LITTLE MORE WIDESPREAD. A LATE
EVENING AMENDMENT WAS ISSUED TO CARRY A FOUR HOUR TEMPO GROUP FOR
IFR AND LIFR VISIBILITIES IN FOG BETWEEN 09Z AND 13Z. LOW PRESSURE
IS STILL FORECAST TO TRACK NORTH OF LAKE HURON LATE IN THE
MORNING...BRINGING A SURFACE TROUGH/WEAK COLD FRONT THROUGH THE TAF
SITES BETWEEN 15Z AND 17Z. LACK OF DEEP MOISTURE WILL NOT SUPPORT
PRECIPITATION ALONG THE TROUGH AXIS. THE 00Z NAM AND RUC CONTINUE TO
SHOW AN INCREASE IN LOW LEVEL MOISTURE...WHICH SHOULD RESULT IN
ANOTHER MVFR STRATUS DECK ROLLING INTO THE TAF SITES WITHIN THE
FIRST HOUR OR TWO AFTER FROPA. MIXING HEIGHTS WILL INCREASE DURING
THE AFTERNOON AS WELL...WITH MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATING THE
POTENTIAL FOR WESTERLY WIND GUSTS TO EXCEED 20 KNOTS.
