AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI
157 PM EDT THU OCT 22 2009

LATEST UPDATE...AVIATION...

.SYNOPSIS...(447 AM EDT THU OCT 22 2009)
A WET PERIOD IS IN THE FORECAST STARTING TODAY AND RUNNING INTO
SATURDAY.  THE RAIN WILL BE THE HEAVIEST AND STEADIEST ON FRIDAY
INTO EARLY FRIDAY NIGHT.  OTHERWISE THE RAIN WILL BE ON AND OFF.
DAYTIME TEMPERATURES WILL COOL OFF WITH 50S EXPECTED TODAY...
DROPPING TO AROUND 50 FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(1159 AM EDT THU OCT 22 2009)
(TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY)

MADE SOME CHANGES TO THE TEMPERATURES TODAY GIVEN THE COOLER AIR
FILTERING IN FROM THE NORTH.  LOOKS LIKE TEMPERATURES WILL STRUGGLE
TO CLIMB THIS AFTERNOON NORTH OF GRAND RAPIDS.  THUS I LOWERED
VALUES.

RATHER GOOD AGREEMENT IN THE MODELS THIS MORNING AS A WET PERIOD
WILL UNFOLD THROUGH THE SHORT TERM.  LOW PRESSURE WAS OVER NORTHERN
LOWER THIS MORNING WITH A COLD FRONT TRAILING BEHIND.  AS THE LOW
DRIFTS EAST IT WILL DRAG THE FRONT SOUTH ACROSS THE CWA.  THE FRONT
SHOULD BE NEAR I-96 BY 12Z..AND EXITING THE CWA BY 18Z.  PCPN WITH
THE FRONT WAS HANGING BEHIND IT.  THE DYNAMICS ARE NOT THAT GREAT...
BUT THE MOISTURE IS PLENTIFUL THROUGH THE COLUMN SO LIGHT RAIN
SHOULD BE SQUEEZED OUT AT MOST LOCATIONS ONCE THE FRONT PASSES.
WILL HAVE LIKELY POPS ACROSS THE NORTH THIS MORNING...THEN SHIFTING
TO THE SOUTHERN CWA BY THIS AFTERNOON.  MOST AREAS SHOULD SEE AROUND
A TENTH OF AN INCH OF RAIN TODAY.

WE MAY SEE A BIT OF A LULL IN THE PCPN THIS EVENING WITH THE FRONT
BEING THROUGH AND WE AWAIT THE NEXT WAVE TO EJECT OUT OF THE
PLAINS.  HOWEVER PCPN WILL RETURN OVERNIGHT FROM SOUTH TO NORTH AS
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE MOVES FROM MO INTO IL.  THE LEFT EXIT REGION OF
THE UPPER JET WILL ALSO APPROACH LATE WHICH SHOULD RESULT IN STEADY
RAINS TOWARD DAYBREAK FOR ALL BUT THE NORTHERN CWA.

UPWARDS OF AN INCH OF RAIN WILL BE POSSIBLE ON FRIDAY AS THE LOW IS
PROGGED TO APPROACH THE SW CORNER OF THE STATE.  BESIDES THE UPPER
JET WE SHOULD ALSO SEE A LOW LEVEL JET PROCEED THE SURFACE LOW.
PARTS OF THE SE CWA MAY BRIEFLY GET INTO THE WARM SECTOR AND THUNDER
COULD BE POSSIBLE LATE IN THE DAY.  HAVE NOT ADDED THIS AS WE WILL
SEE HOW THIS UNFOLDS.  HOWEVER A STEADY RAIN LOOKS ALMOST ASSURED
THROUGH THE DAY.

THE LOW SHOULD LIFT NE TOWARD LAKE HURON FRIDAY NIGHT AND THE RAIN
SHOULD GRADUALLY DIMINISH FROM SOUTH TO NORTH THROUGH THE EVENING.
WE MAY GET DRY SLOTTED OVERNIGHT...BUT WILL LEAVE CHANCE POPS IN
LATE TO COVER THE POSSIBILITY OF A FEW LATE SHOWERS.  THE UPPER
TROUGH AND WRAP AROUND MOISTURE RETURNS SATURDAY AFTERNOON.  HAVE
BUMPED POPS TO LIKELY FOR THE AFTERNOON PERIOD.

&&

.LONG TERM...(447 AM EDT THU OCT 22 2009)
(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
MODEL GUIDANCE TRENDS ARE FOR A QUICKER EXIT OF THE PRECIP SATURDAY
NIGHT IN PROGRESSIVE FLOW REGIME. DECIDED TO DROP POPS FOR SATURDAY
NIGHT BASED ON 00Z EURO AND GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN WHICH TAKES THE SFC
LOW AND MID LEVEL TROUGH AXIS EAST OF LOWER MICHIGAN AFTER 00Z
SUNDAY WITH SHORTWAVE RIDGING MOVING IN BY 12Z SUNDAY.

THE RIDGING IS SHORT LIVED HOWEVER AND THE NEXT NORTHERN STREAM
SHORTWAVE TROUGH APPROACHES FOR MONDAY. CURRENT FORECAST FOR MONDAY
LOOKS GOOD WITH THE BULK OF THE RAIN STILL EXPECTED DURING THE DAY.
WILL LEAVE SUNDAY NIGHT DRY FOR NOW...BUT SHOWERS MAY ARRIVE LATE.
PRECIP SHOULD BE WINDING DOWN EARLY MONDAY NIGHT.

&&

.AVIATION...(157 PM EDT THU OCT 22 2009)
LOW CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES WILL BE THE MAIN CONCERN IN THE
TERMINAL PACKAGE...ALONG WITH SOME GUSTY WINDS DEVELOPING. BATCH OF
RAINFALL ALONG THE FRONT THIS MORNING AND EARLY THIS AFTERNOON HAD
BEEN PRODUCING IFR CONDITIONS ACROSS A GOOD PORTION OF CENTRAL AND
NORTHERN MICHIGAN. THERE IS STILL SOME PATCHY IFR OUT THERE...BUT
THE TREND IN THE LAST COUPLE OF HOURS HAS BEEN FOR A SLIGHT
IMPROVEMENT. WE EXPECT THIS TO CONTINUE WITH MAINLY MVFR CONDITIONS
THROUGH 22Z WITH SOME PATCHY IFR ALONG THE FRONT TOWARD KBTL...
KLAN...AND KJXN.

CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO DETERIORATE AFTER 22Z AS THE NEXT SURGE
OF MOISTURE AND PCPN MOVES IN FROM THE SW ALONG THE FRONT. WE EXPECT
IFR CIGS TO OVERSPREAD THE AREA BY 00Z. EVEN LOWER CIGS AND VSBYS
CAN BE EXPECTED AFTER 06Z TONIGHT AS A LOW LEVEL JET BRINGS
POTENTIAL OF HEAVIER RAINFALL TO THE AREA. SOMEWHAT DRIER NE FLOW
EXPECTED TO BE IN PLACE WILL KEEP VSBYS FROM DROPPING TO NOTHING.
THESE CONDITIONS SHOULD CONTINUE UNTIL AFTER 18Z WHEN THE RAIN WILL
MOVE OUT.

&&

.MARINE...(1110 AM EDT THU OCT 22 2009)
WILL NEED TO MONITOR THE GALE POTENTIAL LATER TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY.
MODELS ARE TRENDING TIGHTER WITH THE PRESSURE GRADIENT LATER TONIGHT
INTO FRIDAY MORNING FOR THE NEARSHORE WATERS.  WEB CAMS ARE SHOWING
SOME LARGER WAVES ROLLING IN AROUND GRAND HAVEN. AT THIS TIME WILL
MAINTAIN THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES THAT WE HAVE IN EFFECT. EASTERLY
FETCH WILL KEEP THE WAVE HEIGHTS LIMITED WITH THIS  EVENT.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...(447 AM EDT THU OCT 22 2009)
RAIN IS EXPECTED TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY...HOWEVER THE HEAVIEST RAIN
WILL OCCUR FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY EVENING.  A WIDESPREAD 1 TO 2 INCH
RAINFALL IS EXPECTED TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING.  UPWARD OF A AN
INCH COULD FALL ON FRIDAY ALONE.  DUE TO THE PROLONGED NATURE OF THE
RAIN THE RIVERS SHOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE THIS AMOUNT OF RAIN.

&&

.GRR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
MI...NONE.
LM...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WHITEHALL TO MANISTEE THROUGH FRIDAY
     EVENING.
     SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY ST. JOSEPH TO WHITEHALL 11 AM TODAY
