AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI
150 PM EDT SUN MAR 8 2009
LATEST UPDATE...AVIATION...
.SYNOPSIS...(450 AM EDT SUN MAR 8 2009)
A STALLED OUT FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS LOCATED ACROSS CENTRAL PORTIONS OF
ILLINOIS...INDIANA...AND OHIO EARLY THIS MORNING. ROUNDS OF SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL RIDE ALONG THIS FRONT AS IT LIFTS NORTH TO
THE MICHIGAN/INDIANA BORDER THIS AFTERNOON. SOME OF THE RAIN COULD
BE LOCALLY HEAVY AT TIMES. COOLER AIR WILL MOVE IN NORTH OF THE
FRONT...AND CHANGE PRECIPITATION OVER TO A POSSIBLE MIX OF
RAIN...SLEET...AND SNOW. CONDITIONS WILL DRY OUT ACROSS THE AREA
LATE TONIGHT AND DURING THE DAY ON MONDAY.
A STRONG SYSTEM WILL APPROACH THE AREA DURING THE DAY ON TUESDAY.
RAIN WILL MOVE BACK INTO THE AREA WITH THE THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS.
MUCH COLDER AIR WILL THEN SURGE IN OVER THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY MORNING BEHIND THE SYSTEM.
&&
.SHORT TERM...(1255 PM EDT SUN MAR 8 2009)
(THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY)
12Z RUNS SHOWED AN INCREASED RISK FOR FREEZING RAIN ACROSS MY
NORTHERN COUNTIES...FROM HARRISON TO LUDINGTON. HOWEVER THE
SYSTEM IS STILL DEVELOPING AND TEMPERATURES ARE LARGELY ABOVE
FREEZING. SNOW AND SLEET ARE STILL LIKELY IN MY NORTHERN COUNTIES SO
MY THOUGHTS ARE A WINTRY MIX FOR FROM THIS SYSTEM. WITH
PRECIPITATION MOVING IN SOON...WILL GO WITH AN ADVISORY FOR THE
AFTERNOON AND INTO TONIGHT PERIOD. TOTAL QPF COULD EVENTUALLY
WARRANT A WARNING...AND UNCERTAINTY OF THE EXACT TRANSITION LOCATION
OPENS UP THE POSSIBILITY OF EXPANDING THE WINTER WEATHER HEADLINES.
STAY TUNED.
THE SURFACE TO 925 MB INSTABILITY STAYS SOUTH OF THE MI INDIANA
BORDER AND THAT IS WHERE THE GREATEST SEVERE WEATHER THREAT IS
EXPECTED. STILL WITH DECENT MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND STRONG WIND
FIELDS MOVING IN THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...SEVERE WEATHER CANNOT
BE RULED OUT. THE NOTICEABLE DRY PUNCH WITH THIS SYSTEM OPENS UP
THE POTENTIAL WIND GUSTS WITH THIS SYSTEM...ESPECIALLY ALONG
INTERSTATE 94. PRELIMINARY TIMING HAS IT COMING IN AFTER 22Z.
I DID BUMP UP WIND GUSTS WITH THIS SYSTEM THINKING MANY LOCATIONS
WILL EVENTUALLY SEE GUSTS OVER 30 MPH.
PCPN WILL MOVE BACK OVER THE AREA LATE MON NIGHT AND TUE. A WAVE OF
LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO TRACK JUST SOUTH OF THE AREA. NRN STREAM
ENERGY WILL THEN BEGIN TO PHASE WITH THE SRN JET...AND WILL
INTENSIFY AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE. THE SRN STREAM WAVE WILL MOVE BY
IN THE MORNING...THEN A WARM FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA LATE ON
TUE AS THE LOW TAKES SHAPE TO OUR WEST. THIS WILL BRING ANOTHER
SURGE OF WARM AND MOIST AIR TO THE AREA...AND THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE
CONVECTION.
&&
.LONG TERM...(450 AM EDT SUN MAR 8 2009)
(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
THE CLOSED UPPER LOW THAT DEVELOPS OVER MI EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING
FROM THE PHASING OF THE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN STREAM WAVES HAS YET A
SECOND MERGER WITH POLAR VORTEX LOW THURSDAY NIGHT. WHAT THIS ALL
MEANS IS ONCE THE TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY SYSTEM IS OUT OF THE WAY...DRY
WEATHER IS LIKELY TO PREVAIL FOR SOME TIME TO COME. THE MODELS ARE
NOT IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT ON HOW THIS ALL PLAYS OUT (MODEL ISSUES
ARE WITH HOW FAR SOUTH THE NRN STREAM WAVES THAT ARE ROTATING AROUND
THIS SYSTEM GET). ONE THING THAT WILL NOT HAPPEN BETWEEN WED AND SAT
IS ANOTHER SOUTHERNS STREAM SYSTEM HEAD FOR THE GREAT LAKES. FOR THE
MOST PART THE SECOND HALF OF THIS WEEK WILL BE DRY AND COLD.
AS FOR DETAILS...TUESDAY EVENING WE HAVE A VERY STRONG EARLY SPRING
STORM WITH A NEGATIVE TILT UPPER WAVE ROTATING THROUGH THE CWA. THE
TRIPLE POINT SEEMS TO SCOOT ALONG NEAR I-94 (BASED ON WHERE THE
POLAR JET CROSSES THE FRONTAL SYSTEM). THIS WOULD HAPPEN BETWEEN 6
PM AND 10 PM...SO STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ARE NOT OUT OF THE
QUESTION. WITH TORNADOES IN KANSAS FROM THIS SAME SYSTEM...AND WITH
THE TRIPLE POINT IN OUR SOUTHERN CWA...NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION TO
SEE A TORNADO IN THE GRR CWA NEAR THE TRIPLE POINT. HELICITY NEAR
THE WARM FRONT IS OVER 500 AND THERE IS OVER 50 KNOTS OF SHEAR BELOW
1000 FT. ONLY THING IS THE CAPE IS NOT ALL THAT GREAT.
AS FOR SNOW WITH THIS SYSTEM... IT WILL BE LIMITED AT BEST. WRAP
AROUND SNOW WILL BE LIMITED SINCE THE AIR WRAPPING IN FROM THE
NORTHWEST IS VERY DRY. INVERSION HEIGHTS ARE BELOW 5000 FT BY 06Z.
EVEN SO... -15C 850 TEMPS CROSS LAKE MICHIGAN...WHICH BASED ON COAST
WATCH AND GLERL MEAN LAKE TEMPERATURES IS NEAR 2C LAKE. SO
WHILE THERE SHOULD BE SOME SNOW SHOWERS LATER TUESDAY NIGHT INTO
WEDNESDAY MORNING...THEY WILL BE LIMITED. MORE THAN ANYTHING IT
WILL BE VERY WINDY. 45 KNOTS GETS DOWN TO 1000 FT ON THE GFS NEAR
MKG AT 06Z WEDNESDAY. COULD NEED A WIND ADVISORY LATER TUESDAY NIGHT
INTO WEDNESDAY.
AS SUGGESTED EARLIER... WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY WILL BE FOR
THE MOST PART COLD WITH LIMITED CLOUD COVER.
&&
.AVIATION...(150 PM EST SUN MAR 8 2009)
A NARROW AREA OF THUNDERSTORMS WAS MOVING OVER THE CHICAGO AREA AS
OF 18Z. THESE STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST NORTHEAST AND
IMPACT THE I-94 CORRIDOR TAF SITES. THE STORMS SHOULD BE OVER ANY
ONE LOCATION FOR NO MORE THAN AN HOUR OR TWO. ANY STORMS THAT MOVE
TOO FAR NORTH WILL DIMINISH AS THEY WILL BE MOVING INTO MORE STABLE
AIR. SO I HAVE LEFT THUNDER OUT OF THE I-96 TAFS. THE RAINS WILL
COME TO AN END FROM WEST TO EAST THIS EVENING AS LOW PRESSURE DRIFTS
ACROSS LOWER MICHIGAN.
THE IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS WILL HOLD IN PLACE THROUGH THIS EVENING.
SLOW IMPROVEMENT IS EXPECTED LATE TONIGHT AS THE MIXING INCREASES
BEHIND THE DEPARTING LOW. BY DAYBREAK MONDAY THE LOW WILL BE
PUSHING INTO THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES WITH HIGH PRESSURE MOVING INTO
THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES. THE MOISTURE OVER THE AREA SHOULD PUSH
EAST RATHER QUICKLY AND VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
AROUND 12Z AND REMAIN THROUGH 18Z.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...(1255 PM EDT SUN MAR 8 2009)
I WILL MAINTAIN THE CURRENT FLOOD WATCH AREA. RAIN WAS MOVING IN
AND WILL BECOME HEAVY AT TIMES. DEPENDING ON WHERE THE WINTER
WEATHER TRANSITIONS INTO RAIN MAY ALLOW FOR SOME CHANGES TO THE
HEADLINES THIS AFTERNOON. STILL LOOKING AT MOST LOCATIONS SEEING
ANOTHER HALF INCH OF RAIN WITH LOCALLY UP TO 2 INCHES.
&&
.GRR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
MI...FLOOD WATCH FOR ALL OF CWFA EXCEPT THE NORTHERN ROW OF COUNTIES.
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY HARRISON TO LUDINGTON THIS AFTERNOON

LOCATIONS NEAR INTERSTATE 94 WILL HAVE RAIN ONGOING THROUGH THE MORNING. A STRENGTHENING STORM OVER NORTHEAST KANSAS LATE THIS MORNING WILL HEAD FOR SOUTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN BY THIS EVENING. JUST AHEAD OF THE SURFACE LOW A LINE OF STRONG THUNDERSTORMS IS POSSIBLE FROM NEAR THE WARM FRONT SOUTH. THESE COULD IMPACT THE INTERSTATE 94 AREA WITH HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS. AT THIS POINT SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOT EXPECTED BUT YET NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION EITHER. THOSE LIVING OR DRIVING IN AND NEAR INTERSTATE 94 SHOULD BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR THESE THUNDERSTORMS LATER THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. NEAR AND NORTH OF ROUTE 10 THE RAIN WILL CHANGE TO SNOW...SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN. LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND SOME SNOW AN ICE ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED. THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS NEAR TUSTIN HAVE THE BEST CHANCE OF GETTING A FEW INCHES OF SNOW THIS EVENING BEFORE THE PRECIPITATION DIMINISHES. IN ADDITION WINDS COULD GUST TO 35 MPH AT TIMES. ICE ACCUMULATIONS AROUND A TENTH OF AN INCH WILL BE POSSIBLE. FLOODING OF STREAMS...RIVERS...LARGE OPEN FIELDS WITH POOR DRAINAGE AREAS IS STILL POSSIBLE THROUGH LATE THIS EVENING AS ANOTHER INCH OF RAIN IS POSSIBLE OVER AN AREA THAT ALREADY HAS HAD BETWEEN A HALF AND ONE AND HALF INCHES OF RAIN SATURDAY. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY THE STRONG STORM SYSTEM WE HAVE BEEN FORECASTING FOR TUESDAY WILL BRING ANOTHER PERIOD OF RAIN THAT COULD BE HEAVY...STRONG WINDS... AND THE RISK OF STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE STORMS LATE IN THE DAY...JUST AHEAD OF THE SURFACE COLD FRONT. THAT COLD FRONT WILL BRING SHARPLY COLDER TEMPERATURES LATE TUESDAY NIGHT...CHANGING RAIN TO SNOW. AT THIS POINT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS SHOULD BE LIMITED AT BEST. GIVEN THE RAIN SATURDAY...THE RAIN EXPECTED TODAY AND THE ADDED RAIN TUESDAY...SOME FLOODING OF LOW LYING AREAS NEAR CREEKS AND RIVERS WILL REMAIN AN ISSUE MOST OF THIS COMING WEEK. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT EXPECTED...BUT NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION THIS AFTERNOON OR EVENING. PLEASE RELAY ANY FLOODING OR HEAVY RAINFALL REPORTS TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE. WDM MJS
