AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
1016 AM EDT WED MAR 31 2010

.SYNOPSIS.../ISSUED AT 351 AM/

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BECOME FIRMLY ENTRENCHED ACROSS THE ATLANTIC
STATES FRIDAY. A VERY WARM SOUTHERLY FLOW OF WIND WILL ENSURE A
RAPID WARMUP IN TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE WORK WEEK. IN FACT...MANY
COMMUNITIES MAY SEE RECORD WARMTH THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...AT NEARLY 25
DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL. ALONG WITH THE WARMTH...THE UNPRECEDENTED DRY
WEATHER WILL PERSIST TOO.

A COLD FRONT WILL ARRIVE THIS WEEKEND...BUT EVEN WITH A DECENT DROP
IN TEMPERATURES...WE WILL STILL BE CONSIDERED MILD FOR THIS TIME OF
YEAR. AS FAR AS PRECIPITATION GOES...EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A SMALL
CHANCE FOR SOME LIGHT RAIN WITH THE FRONT...ANY RAIN RECEIVED WILL
NOT COME CLOSE TO RELIEVING THE ARID CONDITIONS THAT HAVE CONTINUED
FROM LATE WINTER.

SMD

&&

.SHORT TERM.../ISSUED AT 1016 AM/...THIS AFTERNOON

SATELLITE IMAGERY REVEALING AREA OF THICKER MID AND HIGH CLOUD COVER
ROLLING THROUGH NRN MICHIGAN THIS MORNING...GIVEN A PERIOD OF MOSTLY
CLOUDY SKIES TO MOST AREAS. HOWEVER...SATELLITE TRENDS SUGGEST THIS
CLOUD COVER WILL EXIT/THIN OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS WITH ANOTHER DAY
OF MOSTLY SUNNY CONDITIONS BECOMING THE RULE ONCE AGAIN. HAVE
UPDATED SKY FORECASTS ACCORDINGLY.

MEANWHILE...STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW HAS PUSHED VERY WARM (BY END OF
MARCH STANDARDS) UP INTO NRN MICHIGAN OVERNIGHT WITH 875 MB TEMPS
WARMING A WHOPPING 10-15C IN THE LAST 24 HOURS. NEGLECTING ANY WARM
ADVECTION AND ASSUMING MIXING TO AROUND 875 MB GIVES MAX TEMPS IN
THE 70 TO 75 RANGE. ADD SOME DOWNSLOPING INTO THE TIP OF THE MITT
COUNTIES AND MIDDLE 70S SHOULD BE ATTAINABLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF
EMMET/CHEBOYGAN/PRESQUE ISLE COUNTIES AND PRETTY MUCH ON TRACK WITH
THE GOING FORECAST. IN ADDITION...PER 12Z APX SOUNDING...MIXING
THROUGH THAT LAYER SUGGESTS SFC DEWPOINTS DIPPING INTO THE MIDDLE
20S MID TO LATE AFTERNOON WHICH WOULD PUSH RH VALUES DOWN AROUND 15
PERCENT. COMBINED WITH GUSTY WINDS...GOOD SHOT AT REACHING RED FLAG
CONDITIONS ACROSS THE TIP OF THE MITT COUNTIES AND WILL CHAT WITH
FIRE WEATHER OFFICIALS ABOUT RED FLAG WARNING POSSIBILITIES.

NO OTHER CHANGES ANTICIPATED HEADING INTO TONIGHT. ANTICIPATE A VERY
MILD NIGHT WITH A SOUTH WIND CHURNING ALL NIGHT AND TEMPS ON DIPPING
TO THE MIDDLE 40S TO LOWER 50S.

.LONG TERM.../ISSUED AT 351 AM/...TONIGHT AND BEYOND

INCREDIBLE STRETCH OF WX TO CONTINUE HEADING INTO AT LEAST FRIDAY IF
NOT SATURDAY...WITH MAIN FCST CONCERNS AGAIN FOCUSED ON TEMPS/WINDS/
FIRE WEATHER ISSUES. OVERALL PATTERN WILL BE DOMINATED BY BUILDING
HEIGHTS ALOFT...AS VARIOUS PIECES OF RATHER STRONG ENERGY EMERGE
FROM THE WESTERN CONUS INTO THE PLAINS AND THEN ATTEMPT TO LIFT
NORTH INTO THE RIDGE. FIRST SUCH SYSTEM WILL SWING A DEVELOPING WARM
FRONT (THE LEADING EDGE OF SOME SERIOUS WARM AIR) THRU THE CWA INTO
THURSDAY...WITH SAID BOUNDARY PROBABLY GETTING STUCK SOMEWHERE NEAR
THE STRAITS FOR A TIME AS IT TYPICAL THIS TIME OF YEAR. HOWEVER...
NOT SEEING MUCH IN THE WAY OF ANY REAL WX WITH THIS BOUNDARY GIVEN
SEVERE LACK OF ANY MOISTURE ANYWHERE IN THE REGION AT THE MOMENT.
GFS/NAM/ECMWF DEPICTION +6-8C 850MB DEWPOINT PLUME DEVELOPING ACRS
THE AREA LOOKS WAY OVERDONE GIVEN OBS LAST EVENING SHOWING NOTHING
BUT PALTRY MOISTURE EXTENDING ALL THE BACK DOWN TOWARD THE GULF
COAST. CASE IN POINT...00Z GFS INITIALIZED A +6C H85 DEWPOINT FOR
KINL...ACTUAL VALUE WAS 0C...CLEARLY WELL OVERDONE ALREADY AND A
TYPICAL MODEL BIAS THIS TIME OF YEAR. AS SUCH...WITH ONLY PLAY SOME
INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER AS MID LEVEL WARM ADVECTION PLUME ARRIVES
FIRST. WHAT THE BOUNDARY SHOULD DO IS HELP CREATE MORE OF A BAGGY
PRESSURE PATTERN ACRS THE CWA...SUBDUING MIXING AND PROVIDING A
BRIEF REPRIEVE FOR FIRE WX CONCERNS...THOUGH WILL HAVE TO WATCH
SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY WHERE WINDS MAY TURN A BIT MORE GUSTY.

FRIDAY STILL APPEARS TO BE THE BIG WINNER FOR BOTH TEMPS AND MAJOR
FIRE WX ISSUES AS PLUME OF JUST DOWNRIGHT CRAZY WARMTH (BY EARLY
APRIL STANDARDS) PUSHES INTO THE AREA...WITH H85 TEMPS PEAKING
AROUND +18C OR SO. ALL THE WHILE...GUIDANCE REMAINS INSISTENT
EXPANSIVE PLUME OF DRIER LOW LEVEL AIR WILL WRAP BACK INTO THE
REGION AS WELL...WITH INCREASING 900-800MB FLOW (SOME 40 KNOTS ONCE
AGAIN) SUPPORTING MODEST MIXING INTO INCREASINGLY DRY BOUNDARY
LAYER. AS SUCH...WILL SHOW AFTN HUMIDITY VALUES TANKING ONCE AGAIN
INTO CRITICAL RANGE...WITH RED FLAG CONDITIONS ALMOST CERTAIN TO BE
MET...AS AFTN HIGHS PEAK INTO THE LOWER 80S MOST SPOTS (MID 70S
NORTH OF THE BRIDGE).

SATURDAY/SUNDAY REMAIN THE IFFY FCST PERIODS WITH REGARD TO BOTH
TEMPS AND PRECIP POTENTIAL. EVENTUALLY...WESTERN ENERGY WILL BEAT
DOWN THE RIDGE ACRS THE GREAT LAKES...BUT EXACTLY WHEN REMAINS
UNCLEAR AT THIS JUNCTURE. 00Z GUIDANCE ALL OVER THE PLACE WITH
REGARD TO TIMING OF SIGNIFICANT HEIGHT FALLS ARRIVING OVER THE
CWA...BUT GUT FEELING SAYS SLOWER IS BETTER IN THIS HIGHLY AMPLIFIED
PATTERN. AS SUCH...LIKE THE GOING CALL OF DELAYING POPS UNTIL SAT
NIGHT/EARLY SUNDAY...AS EVEN THEN...NOT ENTIRELY SURE THIS WILL BE
ALL THAT BIG OF A DEAL PRECIP-WISE. IN ANY OTHER YEAR...SURE...BUT
THE AMAZING FEAT OF SYSTEMS BYPASSING US THIS YEAR IS HARD TO ARGUE
AGAINST. IN ADDITION...ANY SYSTEM THAT DOES FINALLY MANAGE TO PUSH
THRU THE REGION WILL LIKELY BE QUITE NEGATIVELY TILTED...A
CONSEQUENCE OF ATTEMPTING TO BREAK DOWN AN EXPANSIVE MID LEVEL RIDGE
AXIS. AS SUCH...AND IN LINE WITH THE REMARKABLY CONSISTENT
ECMWF...SAID SYSTEM WILL IN ALL LIKELIHOOD BLOW THRU QUICKLY...WITH
STRONG DRYSLOTTING ON ITS BACKSIDE TAKING HOLD RATHER RAPIDLY.
THUS...CAN ENVISION A SKINNY LINE OF SHOWERS (PERHAPS EVEN SOME
THUNDER?) ROLLING THRU THE CWA SAT NIGHT/EARLY SUN BEFORE RIDGING
TRIED TO AGAIN TAKE HOLD INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

LAWRENCE

&&

.MARINE.../ISSUED AT 351 AM/

SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL INCREASE RATHER QUICKLY THIS MORNING AND
PERSIST INTO THE EARLY EVENING...LEADING TO SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
GUSTS AND WAVE HEIGHTS ACROSS MOST OF THE NEARSHORE WATERS. A
RELATIVE LULL IN THE ACTION IS EXPECTED LATE TONIGHT INTO THE DAY ON
THURSDAY AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT RELAXES OVER THE AREA...BEFORE A
STRONGER CORE OF WINDS ARRIVES AGAIN ON FRIDAY...LIKELY SETTING UP
ANOTHER ROUND OF SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES.

LAWRENCE

&&

.AVIATION.../ISSUED AT 728 AM/...VALID FOR 12Z TAFS

VFR THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD...WITH JUST SOME PASSING HIGH CLOUDS AT
TIMES. WINDS WILL BECOME GUSTY FROM THE SOUTH BY LATE MORNING AS
MIXING ENSUES...ENDING ANY LINGERING THREAT FOR LOW LEVEL WIND
SHEAR. WINDS SHOULD DIMINISH FAIRLY QUICKLY THIS EVENING...BUT
SHOULD NOT COMPLETELY GO CALM. THERE IS SOME VERY SMALL POTENTIAL
FOR SOME LIGHT FOG AS MOISTURE TRIES TO POOL NORTH OF A DEVELOPING
WARM FRONT...BUT GUIDANCE APPEARS WAY OVERDONE WITH MOISTURE
AVAILABILITY AND GUT FEELING IS VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL.
