SFC HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD INTO THE REGION
TONIGHT...ACCOMPANIED BY CLEARING SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 811 AM EDT WED SEP 30 2009/

UPDATE...

QUICK UPDATE TO REMOVE ALL POPS FROM FORECAST AS RADAR/OBS SHOWING
NOTHING MORE THAN DRIZZLE OR MAYBE A SPRINKLE THIS MORNING. ADDED
PATCHY DRIZZLE MENTION TO MORNING FCST FOR ALL INDIANA COUNTIES
AND ALL MICHIGAN COUNTIES SAVE HILLSDALE AS RADAR/NWS EMPLOYEES/
KOEB OB ALL INDICATING SOME PATCHY DRIZZLE. ADJUSTED SKY GRIDS TO
SHOW GRADUAL CLEARING THROUGHOUT THE DAY WITH A SLOWER TREND
TOWARD SUNNY SKIES DOWNWIND OF LAKE MICHIGAN. UPDATED GRIDS/ZONES
ARE OUT.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 408 AM EDT WED SEP 30 2009/

SHORT TERM...
TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT.

SEVERAL CHALLENGES IN THE SHORT TERM FROM LAKE EFFECT...TO
POTENTIALLY FREEZING TEMPS...TO INCREASING CHANCES FOR RAIN.

LAKE EFFECT BAND THAT WAS ADVERTISED BY MESOSCALE MODELS PAST
SEVERAL DAYS HAS FINALLY MATERIALIZED TO SOME EXTENT ACROSS LAPORTE
COUNTY. WHILE A FEW HEAVIER BURSTS OF RAIN ARE POSSIBLE...EFFECTS OF
DRY AIR ENTRAINMENT AND LOWERING INVERSION HGTS ALL KEEPING THINGS
IN CHECK SOMEWHAT. ALSO UPSTREAM ACROSS THE LAKE...LAKE SUPERIOR
CONNECTION NOT REALLY IN PLACE WITH CONVERGENCE LIMITED TO SOUTHERN
HALF OF LK MI. WILL CONTINUE POPS BUT HAVE CALMED THEM DOWN SOMEWHAT
WITH ONLY LGT QPF IN GENERAL. AWAY FROM THE LAKE...WIDESPREAD AREA
OF STRATUS CONTINUES UP THROUGH LWR MI. AS LOW CONTINUES TO PULL
AWAY TODAY AND SUN HAS A CHANCE TO BEGIN TO MIX THINGS
OUT...CLEARING STILL EXPECTED ESPECIALLY THIS AFTERNOON. HAVE
INCREASED CLOUD COVER SOMEWHAT THIS MORNING TO REFLECT THIS BUT
CONTINUED WITH CLEAR SKIES BY TONIGHT. HIGHS WILL MANAGE A FEW
DEGREES MORE THAN PAST FEW DAYS WITH READINGS IN THE UPPER 50S TO
AROUND 60.

CHALLENGE TWO WILL BE THREAT FOR FROST ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA...AS
WELL AS AT LEAST A BRIEF FREEZE. RIDGING SLOWLY MOVING EASTWARD AND
EXPECT SFC DEWPTS TO BE INTO THE 30S ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA BY
TONIGHT. DECOUPLING WINDS AND CLEAR SKIES WILL SET THE STAGE FOR
TEMPS TO FALL INTO THE 30S...WITH THE WARMEST READINGS FAR SW AND S.
LOOKING ACROSS WISCONSIN AND MN THE COLDER AIR CAN BE SEEN WELL WITH
MANY LOCATIONS IN THE UPPER 20S TO LOWER 30S. FEEL THERE IS ENOUGH
THREAT AND CONFIDENCE TO HOIST A FROST ADVISORY FOR ROUGHLY THE
NORTHEASTERN HALF OF THE AREA AND CHANGE WORDING TO WIDESPREAD
FROST. OUTSIDE THE HEADLINE AREA WILL GO WITH PATCHY TO AREAS OF
FROST FOR NOW. POPULATED LOWS IN FAR NE AREAS ARE AT OR BELOW
FREEZING...WHICH NORMALLY WOULD REQUIRE A FREEZE WARNING.
HOWEVER...A BIT OF CONCERN EXACTLY HOW LONG TEMPS WILL REMAIN IN
THAT RANGE. WILL DEFER UPGRADE TO DAY SHIFT TO LOOK THINGS OVER.

THE AREA SHOULD SEE A NICE DAY FOR THURSDAY AS RIDGING SHIFTS
ACROSS THE AREA WITH HIGHS INTO THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 60S. CLOUDS WILL
BEGIN TO INCREASE FROM THE SOUTH AND WEST AS THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM
CONTINUES TO TAKE SHAPE TO THE WEST. A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WITH
INCREASING MSTR AND LIFT WILL MOVE INTO THE FORECAST AREA THURSDAY
NIGHT. GUIDANCE LEANING TOWARDS HIGH LIKELY TO CAT POPS FOR THE
AREA. ENOUGH CONSISTENCY TO GO AHEAD AND INCREASE TO CHC POPS ALL
AREAS IN THE EVENING AND THEN LIKELY EVERYWHERE OVERNIGHT. GFS AND
NAM SHOW UPWARDS OF 0.75 INCHES OR MORE BUT IN DIFFERING LOCATIONS.
NAM12 AND NEW ECMWF FOCUS BULK OF PRECIP ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS.
HAVE DECIDED TO PLACE HIGHER POPS SOUTH FOR NOW IN THE EVENING...BUT
INCREASE IN POPS MAY BE NEEDED IF MODELS COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT.

LONG TERM...

MODELS SUGGEST THAT AN OCCLUDING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE
INTO THE WRN GRTLKS FRIDAY. STILL SOME TIMING DIFFERENCES WITH NAM
SLOWEST TO BRING DRY SLOT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LOW INTO THE
CWA...BUT GOOD ENOUGH AGREEMENT ATTM TO TREND POPS UP TO LIKELY
ACROSS NE 1/2 OF CWA FRI MORNING...DECREASING TO JUST A CHC ACROSS
THE ENTIRE AREA FRI AFTN. DIFFERENCE IN SPEED OF DRY SLOT ALSO
EVIDENT IN MOS HIGH TEMPS FOR FRIDAY. FOR NOW COMPROMISED WITH A
BIAS TOWARD THE WARMER MAV WHICH WAS CLOSER TO OUR PREV FCST.

CONTINUED WITH A CHC OF SHOWERS FRI NIGHT THROUGH SAT NIGHT AS
CLOSED/VERTICALLY STACKED LOW LIFTS SLOWLY NE ACROSS THE UPR GRTLKS
WITH MOIST CYCLONIC FLOW PERSISTING. THERMAL TROF AND ASSOCIATED
STRATO CU DECK SHOULD MOVE THROUGH THE AREA DURING THIS PD RESULTING
IN BLO NORMAL HIGHS AND NEAR NORMAL LOWS. BY SUNDAY WK RIDGING
EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO OUR AREA AS THIS LOW LIFTS NE INTO NWRN
QUEBEC. THIS SHOULD PROVIDE DRY WX ACROSS THE CWA FOR LATE IN THE
WEEKEND...THOUGH PRBLY SUFFICIENT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE/INSTABILITY BLO
SUBSIDENCE INVERSION TO KEEP SKIES MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH ONLY SLIGHTLY
WARMER DAYTIME HIGHS ON SUNDAY. PERHAPS ONE DECENT NIGHT OF
RADIATIONAL COOLING SUNDAY NIGHT AS SFC RIDGE MOVES ACROSS THE
AREA...BEFORE WAA AND CLOUDS MOVE BACK IN AHEAD OF ANOTHER LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM APPROACHING FROM THE WEST ON MONDAY.
