AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI
147 PM EDT FRI OCT 30 2009

LATEST UPDATE...AVIATION...

.SYNOPSIS...(420 AM EDT FRI OCT 30 2009)
A STRONG AREA OF LOW PRESSURE NEAR OMAHA NEBRASKA THIS MORNING WILL
MOVE QUICKLY TO NEAR JAMES BAY BY DAYBREAK SATURDAY MORNING. A SURGE
OF VERY MOIST AND MILD AIR WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA TODAY AHEAD OF
THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT. RAINFALL CAN BE EXPECTED ALONG WITH
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS. CONDITIONS WILL BECOME WINDY BEHIND THE COLD
FRONT TONIGHT AND PART OF THE DAY ON SATURDAY. COLDER AIR CAN BE
EXPECTED TO MOVE IN FOR THE WEEKEND.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(420 AM EDT FRI OCT 30 2009)
(TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY)
BIGGEST FORECAST CONCERNS WITH THIS PACKAGE ARE WINDS LATER TODAY
THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY AND RAINFALL AND THUNDER POTENTIAL THROUGH
SATURDAY. NO MAJOR CHANGES ARE NEEDED TO THE FCST.

SRLY 70 KNOT 850 MB JET AHEAD OF THE STORM SYSTEM TO OUR SW THIS
MORNING IS TRANSPORTING COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF MOISTURE NORTHWARD OUT OF
THE GULF OF MEXICO OVER THE AREA. THIS ADVECTION OF PWATS OF 300 PCT
OF NORMAL IS LEADING TO WIDESPREAD RAIN SHOWER ACTIVITY ACROSS THE
AREA. SOME ELEVATED INSTABILITY IS FCST TO MOVE IN AND IS VERIFYING
WITH SOME LIGHTNING NOW MOVING INTO THE STATE FROM THE SW. THE LLJ
AXIS ONLY SLOWLY SHIFTS EAST OF THE AREA BY 00Z. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR
IT TO CONTINUE TO FEED IN PLENTY OF MOISTURE THROUGH THE DAY AND
PRODUCE A GOOD DEAL OF RAINFALL.

MAIN PORTION OF THE ENERGY WITH THE UPPER LOW NOW ACROSS KS WILL
EJECT TO THE NE THROUGH TODAY...AND EVENTUALLY PUSH THE STRONG SFC
FRONT THROUGH THE CWFA AROUND AND JUST AFTER 00Z TONIGHT. MOIST AXIS
WILL SHIFT EAST OF THE CWFA BY 00Z WITH THE LLJ AND THE FRONT WILL
THEN CLEAR OUT MOST OF THE RESIDUAL MOISTURE BY 06Z. THE FRONT WILL
BE ACCOMPANIED BY FAIRLY GUSTY WINDS DUE TO THE STRENGTH OF THE
FRONT/TEMP GRADIENT...THE ISALLOBARIC COMPONENT...AND THE COLD AIR
ADVECTION. WE BELIEVE THERE IS A FAIRLY DECENT POTENTIAL OF SOME
ADVISORY TYPE WINDS ALONG AND JUST BEHIND THE FRONT. THE WORST OF
THE WINDS WILL BE WITH THE FRONT...HOWEVER 40 KNOTS DOES REMAIN
AROUND 3K FEET INTO SATURDAY AFTERNOON WHICH WILL BE ABLE TO BE
TAPPED. WITH SOME UNCERTAINTY AS TO HOW MUCH TIME WILL BE NEED IN
THE ADVISORY...AND WITH IT BEING A SOLID SECOND PERIOD EVENT...WE
HAVE HELD OFF ISSUING THE ADVISORY FOR NOW.

A FEW SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE BEHIND THE FRONT AS THE UPPER TROUGH
AXIS MOVES INTO THE AREA. MOISTURE BECOMES RATHER SHALLOW AT THIS
POINT WHICH WILL LIMIT THE POTENTIAL OF PCPN. WINDS BECOME WRLY AND
H850 TEMPS DROP TO AROUND -4C OR SO BY 12Z SAT. THIS WILL PRODUCE A
THREAT OF SOME LIGHT LAKE ENHANCEMENT/EFFECT ALONG THE LAKESHORE.
THE TROUGH WILL THEN PULL NE AROUND/JUST AFTER 00Z SUN...AND THE
FLOW ALOFT IS EXPECTED TO BECOME ANTI-CYCLONIC. ANY LIGHT PCPN
SHOULD COME TO AN END BY THAT TIME.

SOME CLEARING WILL THEN BECOME POSSIBLE FOR SAT NIGHT AND SUN AS
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN PLACE. AM SOMEWHAT APPREHENSIVE ABOUT FULL
CLEARING HOWEVER GIVEN THE CLOUD TRENDS IN THESE SCENARIOS THE LAST
COUPLE OF WEEKS. IT IS JUST TOUGH WITH A WEAK LATE OCT SUN ANGLE TO
MIX OUT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE. WE HAVE GONE PARTLY CLOUDY FOR NOW...AND
CAN FINE TUNE THE TRENDS.

&&

.LONG TERM...(420 AM EDT FRI OCT 30 2009)
(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
TWO RELATIVELY WEAK AND FAST MOVING NRN STREAM SHORTWAVES ARE
PROGGED TO IMPACT THE REGION NEXT WEEK WITH A CHANCE OF RAIN
SHOWERS. THE FIRST IS EXPECTED TO COME THROUGH ON MONDAY AND THE
SECOND ON WEDNESDAY... WITH EACH WAVE SENDING A SFC COLD FRONT
THROUGH.  NOT MUCH QPF IS ANTICIPATED...BUT THESE SYSTEMS DO ACT TO
REINFORCE H5 TROUGHING AND COOL AIR OVER THE REGION.

THERE IS SOME QUESTION AS TO HOW LONG THE COOL AIR AND H5 TROUGHING
WILL LINGER OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION... BUT AT SOME POINT LATE IN
THE WEEK OR NEXT WEEKEND IT APPEARS TO FINALLY LIFT OUT WITH
MODERATING TEMPERATURES FOLLOWING.

&&

.AVIATION...(147 PM EDT FRI OCT 30 2009)
MUCH OF THE REGION IS COVERED WITH MVFR CONDITIONS AS OF 17Z.
HOWEVER ANOTHER AREA OF STEADY RAIN WAS OVER AREAS SURROUNDING
SOUTHERN LAKE MICHIGAN.  EXPECT THAT WE WILL SEE SOME IFR OVER THE
TAF SITES AS THIS RAIN RETURNS THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE
AFTERNOON.  THE STEADY RAIN SHOULD LIFT OUT OF THE AREA BY EARLY
EVENING WHEN CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE ONCE AGAIN.  IN FACT VFR
CONDITIONS SHOULD ARRIVE BY LATE EVENING AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES
THROUGH.  THE CHANGEABLE CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO CHANGE AGAIN
TOWARD DAYBREAK ON SATURDAY AS WRAP AROUND MOISTURE BRINGS CEILING
BACK DOWN TO MVFR.  THROUGH ALL THIS THE WINDS WILL REMAIN
BRISK...PIVOTING FROM THE SOUTH TO THE SOUTHWEST AS THE FRONT MOVES
THROUGH.  THUNDER CAN NOT BE TOTALLY RULE OUT THIS AFTERNOON...
HOWEVER IT WILL REMAIN TOO ISOLATED TO ADD TO THE TAFS.

&&

.MARINE...(420 AM EDT FRI OCT 30 2009)
WE HAVE EXTENDED THE TIME OF THE GALE WARNING OUT THROUGH 18Z SAT.
MODEL CROSS SECTIONS OF WIND SHOW 40 KNOTS AT 3K FEET THROUGH SAT
MORNING. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT WIND WILL OCCUR WITH THE FRONT THIS
EVENING AROUND OR JUST BEFORE 00Z...AND BEHIND THE FRONT AS THE
STRONG PUSH OF COLDER AIR MOVES IN.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...(1155 AM EDT FRI OCT 30 2009)
WE ISSUED A FLOOD ADVISORY EARLIER THIS MORNING FOR THE COUNTIES WE
EXPECTED TO RECEIVE THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL. AS OF 10 AM THIS MORNING
THOSE COUNTIES HAVE RECEIVED BETWEEN 2 AND 3 INCHES OF RAIN. I
EXTENDED THE ADVISORIES END TIME TO 4 PM SATURDAY DUE TO THE
RESPONSE TIME ON AREA CREEKS BEING BETWEEN 12 AND 24 HOURS. WE HAVE
RECEIVED NUMEROUS REPORTS OF CLOSED ROADS DUE TO WATER OVER THE ROAD
IN MOST OF THE ADVISORY COUNTIES. AN ADDITIONAL INCH OF RAIN IS
POSSIBLE OVER MOST OF THE ADVISORY AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING
PRIOR TO THE PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT.

WHILE NO RIVER POINTS ARE EXPECTED TO REACH FLOOD STAGE... A FEW ARE
EXPECTED TO REACH ACTION STAGE. AS A RESULT WE HAVE ISSUED FLOOD
ADVISORIES FOR SOME RIVER POINTS IMPACTED BY THE HEAVY RAINFALL.

&&

.CLIMATE...(1155 AM EDT FRI OCT 30 2009)
THE DAILY PRECIPITATION RECORD FOR GRAND RAPIDS WAS BROKEN BY 8 AM
THIS MORNING WITH 1.92 INCHES OF RAIN...WHICH EXCEEDED THE 1.02 INCH
RECORD SET IN 1991. WITH AS MUCH AS ANOTHER INCH OF RAIN POSSIBLE
AT GRAND RAPIDS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...THIS NEW RECORD WILL
LIKELY BE EXCEEDED. THE OTHER TWO CLIMATE SITES STILL HAVE TO
POTENTIAL OF SETTING NEW DAILY RAINFALL RECORDS. THE RECORDS ARE NOT
IMPRESSIVE RECORDS AS THEY ARE ONLY NEAR AN INCH FOR THE DAY. BELOW
ARE THE RECORDS FOR 10/30:

GRAND RAPIDS      -1.92 INCHES AS OF 8 AM THIS MORNING
  PREVIOUS RECORD -1.02 INCHES SET IN 1991
LANSING          - 0.97 INCHES SET IN 1870
