AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI
757 AM EDT TUE OCT 6 2009

LATEST UPDATE...AVIATION...

.SYNOPSIS...(503 AM EDT TUE OCT 6 2009)
A RAPIDLY INTENSIFYING FALL STORM WILL MOVE FROM IOWA THIS MORNING
TO NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN BY TONIGHT.  THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING
STRONG WINDS AND PERIODS OF RAIN SHOWERS TO THE REGION ESPECIALLY
THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING.  A FEW RUMBLES OF THUNDER WILL ALSO
BE POSSIBLE.

THE SHOWERS SHOULD DWINDLE LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY AS HIGH
PRESSURE NOSES IN.  BUT THE BREAK IN THE RAIN WILL BE SHORT AS A
COLD FRONT APPROACHES FOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(503 AM EDT TUE OCT 6 2009)
(TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY)
MAIN CONCERN WAS ON THE INTENSIFYING STORM OVER THE MIDDLE OF THE
NATION WHICH WILL ROLL INTO LOWER MICHIGAN TONIGHT.  AS IT DOES SO
THE STORM WILL DEEPEN AND WILL PRODUCE INCREASING WINDS BY LATE
AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING.  THE STORM TRACKS INTO NORTHERN LOWER...SO
THE WINDS SHOULD BE LESS IN THE NORTHERN CWA...CLOSER TO THE BAGGIER
PRESSURE GRADIENT.  FURTHER SOUTH...WE MAY NEED A WIND ADVISORY FOR
THE SOUTHERN LAKESHORE COUNTIES AS GUSTS OVER 45 MPH WILL BE
POSSIBLE.  FURTHER INLAND IT APPEARS WINDS WILL ALSO INCREASE...BUT
SHOULD STAY MOSTLY IN THE 30-40 MPH RANGE TONIGHT.

AS FOR PCPN...WE ARE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF ISENTROPIC LIFT
MOISTENING THE LOW LEVELS EARLY THIS MORNING.  SO THE RAIN WILL BE
DELAYED...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN CWA...WHERE SOME AREAS MAY
STAY DRY UNTIL AFTERNOON.  HOWEVER...A SOLID AREA OF RAIN IS
EXPECTED TO SWEEP FROM WEST TO EAST BETWEEN 18Z AND 00Z AS THE LOW
MOVES TO CENTRAL LAKE MICHIGAN DRAGGING A COLD FRONT THROUGH LOWER
MICHIGAN.  A 45-50 KT LOW LEVEL JET PROCEEDS THE SURFACE LOW WHICH
WILL HELP GENERATE AND MAINTAIN THIS PCPN.  CONSIDERING THE DYNAMICS
OF THE SYSTEM...WILL CONTINUE THE MENTION OF THUNDER.  SOME GUSTY
WINDS APPROACHING SEVERE LEVELS COULD ACCOMPANY SOME OF THE STRONGER
STORMS.

THE SYSTEM WILL MOVE STEADILY ALONG WITH THE SYNOPTIC PCPN EXITING
THE CWA BY MID/LATE EVENING.  JUST BEHIND THE PCPN AND ON THE LEAD
OF THE COLD ADVECTION WILL BE THE STRONGEST WINDS...PROBABLY
OCCURRING A COUPLE HOURS EITHER SIDE OF MIDNIGHT.  A FEW LAKE EFFECT
SHOWERS MAY DEVELOP...BUT WITH THE STRENGTH OF THE WIND THESE SHOULD
NOT GET TOO ORGANIZED.  ALSO ANTICYCLONIC FLOW IS ALREADY MOVING IN
BY MID DAY WEDNESDAY...SO THE PERIOD FOR ANY LAKE EFFECT IS BRIEF.
HAVE REDUCED POPS ON WEDNESDAY AS A RESULT.

AFTER A QUIET WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THURSDAY WILL BECOME ACTIVE AGAIN.
A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST.  IT WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY
A 140 KT UPPER JET AND SHOULD BRING SCATTERED SHOWERS BY AFTERNOON.

&&

.LONG TERM...(503 AM EDT TUE OCT 6 2009)
(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)
STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY FROM THE OHIO VALLEY REGION TO TEXAS IS
EXPECTED TO BE ACTIVE WITH THUNDERSTORMS AND HEAVY RAIN THURSDAY
NIGHT AND FRIDAY. THIS IS IN RESPONSE TO STRONG RIGHT ENTRANCE
REGION DYNAMICS FROM 180 KT ANTICYCLONICALLY CURVED H25 JET
EXTENDING FROM WISCONSIN TO SRN QUEBEC. PWATS NEAR 2 INCHES WILL BE
FLOWING NORTHWARD FROM THE GULF AS WELL.

MOST GUIDANCE IS KEEPING THE HEAVY RAINS SOUTH OF MI ALTHOUGH THE
00Z GFS IS SUGGESTING IT COULD IMPACT THE SE PORTIONS OF THE CWFA.
WILL KEEP POPS IN THE CHANCE CATEGORY BUT MAY NEED TO BUMP TO LIKELY
AND RAISE QPF IF CURRENT GFS SOLUTION GETS MORE SUPPORT. TIMING AND
TRACK OF SFC WAVE(S) ALONG THE FRONT ARE UNCLEAR TOO... BUT IT DOES
APPEAR THE FRONT WILL FINALLY PUSH OFF THE THE SE ON FRIDAY NIGHT.

UNSEASONABLY COLD AIR MASS POURS IN OVER THE COMING WEEKEND AS BROAD
AND DEEP LONGWAVE TROUGH OVER CANADA DIPS SOUTHWARD TO INCLUDE THE
NRN PORTION OF THE CONUS. THE RESULT WILL BE MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES
WITH SCATTERED LAKE EFFECT RAIN SHOWERS AND HIGH TEMPS STRUGGLING TO
REACH 50 DEGREES.

MOISTURE LOOKS TOO SHALLOW TO INCLUDE MENTION OF SNOW SHOWERS OVER
THE WEEKEND... BUT BY SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY THE CHANCE FOR SNOW
SHOWERS WILL INCREASE AS THE JET CORE DIPS JUST SOUTH OF THE STATE
AND THE DENDRITIC GROWTH ZONE GETS ACTIVATED WITH DEEPER MOISTURE
AVAILABLE. HIGHER ELEVATIONS/GRASSY SFCS MAY SEE A COATING.
&&

.AVIATION...(757 AM EDT TUE OCT 6 2009)
INITIALLY AS THE RAIN SHOWERS COME IN TODAY CIGS/VIS WILL REMAIN IN
THE VFR CATEGORY. HOWEVER AFTER 18Z AND ESPECIALLY TOWARD 21Z THERE
SHOULD BE A RAPID TRANSITION TO MVFR CONDITIONS AS THE FRONTAL
SYSTEM APPROACHES FROM THE WEST/SOUTHWEST. IT MAY ALSO GO BRIEFLY
IFR WITH AN ISOLATED TSTM IN THE VCNTY OF THE FRONT... BUT DID NOT
YET PLACE THOSE THREATS IN THE TAFS.

DRY SLOT APPROACHING FROM THE SOUTHWEST AROUND 00Z MAY BRING A 3-6
HOUR PERIOD OF VFR AFTER FROPA... BUT COMMA HEAD AND LAKE EFFECT
CURLING BACK IN AFTER 06Z SHOULD BRING MVFR CIGS AND A FEW SHOWERS
BACK INTO THE REGION FROM NW TO SE.

AHEAD OF SYSTEM AND PRIOR TO FROPA WINDS WILL BE SOUTHERLY AND
INCREASING STEADILY THROUGH THE DAY. PERIOD OF STRONGEST WINDS
BEHIND THE FRONT SHOULD BE IN THE 00Z-06Z TIME FRAME... OUT OF THE
WEST SOUTHWEST AND GUSTING TO 30-35 KNOTS.

&&

.MARINE...(503 AM EDT TUE OCT 6 2009)
WINDS AND WAVES WILL BE ON THE INCREASE TODAY AND TONIGHT.  WILL
UPGRADE TO A GALE WARNING FOR TONIGHT.  THE WORST CONDITIONS WILL
PROBABLY BE SEEN ACROSS SOUTHERN LAKE MICHIGAN WHERE WINDS MAY
INCREASE TO 45 KNOTS BEHIND THE PASSAGE OF THE FRONT THIS EVENING.
WAVES COULD BUILD AS HIGH AS 12 TO 16 FEET.  FURTHER NORTH...ACROSS
CENTRAL LAKE MICHIGAN...CLOSER TO THE PATH OF THE LOW...WINDS SHOULD
INCREASE TO AROUND 35 KNOTS.

THIS WILL BE AN INTENSE BUT QUICK HIT.  WINDS WILL TAPER OFF BY
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AS THE LOW EXITS.  THE GALE WARNING WILL RUN
THROUGH WED MORNING...WITH A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY LIKELY NEEDED INTO
THE AFTERNOON.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...(503 AM EDT TUE OCT 6 2009)
THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL THROUGH TONIGHT IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE
NORTHERN CWA WHERE SOME AREAS MAY APPROACH AN INCH OF RAIN.  THE
I-96 CORRIDOR SHOULD SEE AROUND A HALF INCH OF RAIN...WITH LESSER
AMOUNTS EXPECTED SOUTH.  A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE...SO
LOCALIZED HEAVIER RAIN TOTALS WILL BE SEEN.  HYDRO CONCERNS SHOULD
BE MINIMAL WITH THESE RAIN AMOUNTS.

&&

.GRR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
MI...NONE.
LM...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY ST. JOSEPH TO MANISTEE NOON TO 800 PM
     TODAY.
     GALE WARNING ST. JOSEPH TO MANISTEE 800 PM TONIGHT THROUGH
