AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI
1005 PM EDT MON APR 27 2009

LATEST UPDATE...SHORT TERM...

.SYNOPSIS...(447 PM EDT MON APR 27 2009)
A COLD FRONT WILL MAKE ITS WAY THROUGH THE REGION OVERNIGHT AND
BRING ANOTHER SOAKING RAIN TO SOUTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN.  THE RAIN
WILL WIND DOWN LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY.  SKIES WILL CLEAR
FROM NORTH TO SOUTH THROUGH THE MORNING AND AFTERNOON ON TUESDAY AS
HIGH PRESSURE MOVES IN.  DRY WEATHER WILL CONTINUE INTO WEDNESDAY.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE COOLER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS WITH HIGHS IN
THE MID 50S TO LOWER 60S.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(1005 PM EDT MON APR 27 2009)
(TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT)

THE FLOOD WATCH HEADLINE FOR THE AREA ALONG AND SOUTH OF A LINE FROM
GRAND HAVEN TO ALMA THROUGH 11 AM TUESDAY LOOKS EXCELLENT AND WILL
REMAIN UNCHANGED. RGNL RADAR TRENDS SHOW A LARGE AREA OF LGT TO MDT
RAIN WITH POCKETS OF HEAVY RAIN FROM OUR SSW CWFA ACROSS SOUTHERN
LAKE MI AND MUCH OF ILLINOIS.

EXTRAPOLATION OF CURRENT RGNL RADAR TRENDS AND LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE
SUGGEST THAT THIS RAINFALL WILL IMPACT MAINLY THE SOUTHERN HALF OF
OUR CWFA OVERNIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING. THEREFORE THE FLOOD WATCH
HEADLINE WILL REMAIN UNCHANGED.

RAINFALL IN EXCESS OF AN INCH WILL BE POSSIBLE SE OF I-69 OVERNIGHT.
MEANWHILE AREAS THAT SAW THE HEAVY RAIN TWO DAYS AGO...FROM GRAND
HAVEN TO ALMA... WILL SEE ADDITIONAL STEADY BUT LIGHTER RAINFALL
OVERNIGHT WHICH COULD CAUSE ISSUES.

THE FRONT AND THE DYNAMICS EXIT THE EASTERN CWA EARLY TUESDAY AND
THE RAIN WILL COME TO AN END.  MUCH DRIER AIR...SEEN AROUND THE LAKE
WINNIPEG REGION THIS AFTERNOON...WILL DROP OVER LOWER MICHIGAN
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.  NORTHEAST FLOW WILL ONLY ACT TO ENHANCE THE
DRY AIR.  SO SKIES SHOULD CLEAR RATHER EFFICIENTLY FROM NW TO SE
THROUGH THE LATE MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON.  IT WILL BE COOLER WITH
HIGHS FROM 55 TO 60 WITH A BRISK NE WIND.

CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE DROPS IN FOR THE TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY
PERIOD.  THE DRY AIR MASS WILL MAKE FOR A CHILLY OVERNIGHT WITH
TEMPS DROPPING INTO THE 30S.  BUT TEMPS WILL RECOVER NICELY ON WED
FROM 60 TO 65.  THERE SHOULD BE CI AROUND ON WEDNESDAY...BUT THE SUN
SHOULD STILL MAKE IT THROUGH.

HAVE INTRODUCED SMALL POPS OVER THE FAR SW CWA LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT
AS THE MODELS SUGGEST A WARM FRONT TAKING SHAPE TO OUR SOUTH.  A
SHORT WAVE MAY RIDE ALONG THE FRONT...PERHAPS BRINGING SHOWERS TO
THE SW CWA TOWARD DAYBREAK ON THURSDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM...(447 PM EDT MON APR 27 2009)
(THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY)
THE MID RANGE MODELS HAVE SIMILAR SOLUTIONS THURSDAY... BUT QUICKLY
DIVERGE. GOING FORECAST CLOSER TO THE GFS... AND WITH ONGOING MODEL
DIFFERENCES HAVE MADE FEW CHANGES TO THE GOING GRIDS.

A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM PASSING OVER NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN WILL PULL
A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA THURSDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL STALL SOUTH
OF THE AREA... HOW FAR SOUTH IS THE QUESTION. PRECIPITATION IS IN
THE FORECAST THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. IF THE FRONT IS FARTHER
SOUTH... AS IN THE ECMWF SOLUTION... THE RAIN SHOULD END EARLY
FRIDAY MORNING. NO SIGNIFICANT WEATHER IS EXPECTED OVER THE WEEKEND.
ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MAY APPROACH THE REGION EARLY NEXT WEEK.
WITH THE UNCERTAINTY... NO WEATHER ADDED TO MONDAY AT THIS TIME.
TEMPERATURES IN THE LONG TERM WILL BE AROUND TO A LITTLE ABOVE
NORMAL... EXCEPT SATURDAY BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. THE TEMPERATURES
WILL BE JUST A LITTLE BELOW NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION...(156 PM EDT MON APR 27 2009)
SOUTH SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 10 TO 20 KNOTS WITH GUSTS AS HIGH AS 40
KNOTS WILL DROP OFF THIS EVENING TO 10 KNOTS OR UNDER. THEY WILL
COME AROUND TO A MORE NORTHERLY DIRECTION BEHIND THE FRONT. A BAND
OF SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE MOVING THROUGH THE
AREA AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE HEAVIEST
RAIN AND LOWEST VISIBILITIES ARE EXPECTED FOR KAZO... KBTL AND KJXN.
VFR CONDITIONS WILL BE GIVING WAY TO MVFR CEILINGS THIS AFTERNOON AS
THE WEATHER MOVES IN. ISOLATED IFR MAY OCCUR BRIEFLY WITH ANY
THUNDERSTORMS. HOWEVER... CHANCES ARE SMALL AT ANY TAF SITE... SO NO
IFR CONDITIONS WERE INCLUDED. LEFT MVFR CEILINGS THROUGH THE END OF
THE TAF PERIOD AS THIS SYSTEM IS A SLOW MOVER.

&&

.MARINE...(447 PM EDT MON APR 27 2009)
WINDS ARE COMING DOWN NICELY AS THE FRONT MOVES OVER THE LAKE.
WAVES ON LOCAL WEBCAMS LOOKS RATHER TAME AT PRESENT.  SO HAVE TAKEN
DOWN THE GALE WARNING.  WINDS WILL PICK UP AGAIN BEHIND THE FRONT
LATE TONIGHT AND ALONG WITH THE COLD ADVECTION...WAVES WILL INCREASE
TOWARD DAYBREAK.  SO WILL RUN A SCA FROM LATE TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY.
WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVERHEAD TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY WINDS WILL
TURN TO THE NORTHEAST TO EAST.  THE OFFSHORE FLOW WILL RESULT IN
SUBSIDING WAVES.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...(1005 PM EDT MON APR 27 2009)
THE FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH 11 AM TUESDAY FOR ROUGHLY
THE SOUTHERN HALF OF OUR HSA. ADDITIONAL BASIN AVG QPF AMOUNTS
ACROSS THAT AREA OF AN INCH TO INCH AND A HALF ARE ANTICIPATED FROM
NOW THROUGH MIDDAY TUESDAY WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS CERTAINLY
POSSIBLE.

SOME FLOODING MAY BE TRIGGERED BY THIS RAIN DUE TO THE SATURATED
GROUND AND HIGHER THAN NORMAL RIVER LEVELS ALREADY IN PLACE.  WE
BEGIN TO DRY OUT TUESDAY AFTERNOON WITH THE NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN
HOLDING OFF UNTIL LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT OR THURSDAY.

&&
