AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI
1026 PM EST FRI MAR 12 2010

LATEST UPDATE...SHORT TERM...

.SYNOPSIS...(400 PM EST FRI MAR 12 2010)
A LARGE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE SOUTH OF MICHIGAN WILL NOT MOVE MUCH
UNTIL LATE IN THE WEEKEND. AS A RESULT WE WILL SEE CONSIDERABLE
CLOUDINESS WILL OCCASIONAL LIGHT RAIN. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN WELL
ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH SUNDAY WITH READINGS REACHING THE 50S EACH
DAY... ALTHOUGH EAST WINDS GUSTING TO 25 MPH AT TIMES WILL MAKE IT
FEEL A TAD COOLER.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(1026 PM EST FRI MAR 12 2010)
(TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT)
WILL INCREASE POPS FOR LATE TONIGHT IN MOST AREAS.  IT STILL APPEARS
THAT THE HEAVIEST RAIN WILL REMAIN SOUTH OF THE CWA...HOWEVER THE
LIGHTER PCPN COVERAGE CONTINUES TO INCREASE THIS EVENING ACROSS MUCH
OF THE LAKE ERIE REGION.  WITH THE UPPER LOW OVER SE MO THE STEERING
WINDS WILL BRING THE LAKE ERIE RAINS OVER SW MI LATE TONIGHT.  HAVE
ALSO INCREASED THE WIND SPEEDS FOR OVERNIGHT.  DESPITE THESE WINDS
THE FOG PERSISTS THIS EVENING...ESPECIALLY NORTH OF I-96.  THIS
SEEMS TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE ENE WINDS COMING OFF OF LAKE HURON.
MOST LIKELY THE AREAS OF FOG WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT...BUT SHOULD
NOT BECOME TOO DENSE.

ON SATURDAY YET ANOTHER SHORTWAVE CURLING AROUND THE BIG UPPER LOW
IMPACTS THE CWFA... AND WILL CARRY LIKELY POPS OVER ALL BUT THE FAR
NORTHWEST. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT WITH TIME SOME ATLANTIC MOISTURE IS
BEING SLUNG THIS FAR WEST AND THE RAIN WILL CONTINUE INTERMITTENTLY
INTO SATURDAY NIGHT... ESPECIALLY OVER ERN/SRN SECTIONS OF THE CWFA.
THINGS LOOK TO FINALLY DRY OUT ON SUNDAY AS THE UPPER LOW GETS
FARTHER EAST INTO THE MID ATLANTIC REGION AND DRIER AIR BEGINS
SPREADING INTO THE GREAT LAKES REGION FROM THE NORTHEAST.

&&

.LONG TERM...(400 PM EST FRI MAR 12 2010)
(MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)
FAIRLY QUIET LONG TERM PERIOD IS EXPECTED ACROSS SW LOWER MI. THE
ONLY REAL CHALLENGE DURING THE TIME FRAME IS TIMING IN PCPN...IF ANY
FOR LATE IN THE PERIOD.

UPPER LOW CURRENTLY SOUTH OF THE STATE WILL SLOWLY MEANDER OFFSHORE
OF THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION BY MON MORNING. THIS WILL RESULT IN SHORT
WAVE RIDGING TAKING SHAPE OVER THE REGION. A SHORT WAVE WILL THEN
DROP SE OUT OF CANADA AND TRACK WEST OF THE STATE DURING THE DAY ON
TUE. IT APPEARS THAT MOST OF ANY ASSOCIATED CLOUD COVER/PCPN SHOULD
STAY OUT OF THE AREA...SO WE HAVE MAINTAINED A DRY AND MILD FCST.
TEMPS WILL COOL SLIGHTLY AS THIS FEATURE MOVES SOUTH.

A LONG WAVE RIDGE WILL THEN BUILD ACROSS THE PLAINS STATES ON WED AS
ENERGY COMES ASHORE OVER THE PACIFIC NW AND DIGS ACROSS THE
INTERMOUNTAIN REGION. THIS IS EXPECTED TO WARM TEMPS ONCE AGAIN AND
PROVIDE A DECENT AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE TO THE AREA. MODELS DIFFER IN
THE TIMING OF BREAKING THIS RIDGE DOWN AND BRINGING IN THE SYSTEM
OUT WEST. EURO ENSEMBLES...EURO OPERATIONAL...AND TO A POINT THE GFS
ENSEMBLES FAVOR A SLOWER SOLUTION WHICH IS PREFERRED. THIS WOULD
KEEP PCPN OUT OF THE AREA UNTIL AFTER FRI...AND KEEP MILD AIR IN
WITH MORE SUN.

&&

.AVIATION...(652 PM EST FRI MAR 12 2010)
THE PRIMARY ISSUE TONIGHT IS WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE FOG AND LOW
CEILINGS NORTH OF TO I-96 IN THE AMN... RQB... MOP... AREAS. LOW
LEVEL WINDS ARE NORTHEAST AND THERE IS MOISTURE ROTATING TOWARD THE
WEST FROM SOUTHERN ONTARIO...NORTH OF LAKE ERIE TOWARD LOWER
MICHIGAN AROUND THE LARGE SYSTEM PASSING SLOWLY SOUTH OF MICHIGAN
OVER THE NEXT 48 HOURS. SINCE THE MOISTURE DID NOT MIX OUT THE DEEP
CYCLONIC FLOW IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH SATURDAY... PLUS WE
ARE GOING INTO THE NIGHT TIME I THROUGH TO GO WITH THE LOWER
CIGS/VSBY SHOWN ON THE 18Z GFS MOS (IFR CIGS/VSBY 09Z TO 15Z MOST
TAF SITES).

AS FOR THE RAIN ISSUE...THAT IS MORE ON THE FENCE SINCE THE PRIMARY
SYSTEM DYNAMICS STAY SOUTH OF MICHIGAN. EVEN SO...WITH ALL THAT
MOISTURE IN THE LOW LEVEL I COULD SEE LIGHT RAIN OR DRIZZLE
DEVELOPING. IN ANY EVENT I WOULD EXPECT LITTLE IMPROVEMENT DURING
THE DAY SATURDAY WITH IFR CIGS/VSBY CONTINUING THROUGH THE DAY EVEN
WITH THE GUSTY NORTHEAST WINDS.

&&

.MARINE...(400 PM EST FRI MAR 12 2010)
NORTHEAST WINDS MAY CRANK UP ENOUGH THIS WEEKEND TO WARRANT SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORIES FOR SPEED CRITERIA OF SUSTAINED OF FREQUENT GUSTS
OF 22-33 KNOTS. HOWEVER WAVES ARE NOT EXPECTED TO EXCEED 4 FEET DUE
TO THE FLOW BEING OFFSHORE.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...(400 PM EST FRI MAR 12 2010)
CALLS TO COUNTY ROAD COMMISSIONS LATE THIS MORNING INDICATED THAT
SOME MINOR AREAL FLOODING WAS PERSISTING MAINLY NORTH OF GRAND
RAPIDS FROM THE HEAVY RAIN WHICH FELL THURSDAY NIGHT. SINCE THERE
WAS STILL WATER OVER SOME ROADS AND EVEN A FEW CLOSURES REPORTED AT
THE TIME OF THOSE CALLS... DECIDED TO LEAVE A FEW COUNTIES IN
ROUGHLY THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE CWFA UNDER THE AREAL FLOOD
ADVISORY THROUGH SATURDAY. THIS MAY BE ABLE TO BE CANCELLED EARLY.

AS FAR AS THE RIVER FORECAST POINTS ALONG THE LARGER/MAINSTEM
RIVERS... SIGNIFICANT RISES ARE OCCURRING AND 16 POINTS ARE AT... OR
FORECAST TO GO TO... AT OR ABOVE BANKFULL. HOWEVER NO POINTS ARE
CURRENTLY FORECAST TO REACH THEIR FLOOD STAGES. COMSTOCK PARK AND
ROBINSON TOWNSHIP MAY COME CLOSE TO FLOOD STAGE IN A FEW DAYS.

THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THE HEAVIEST RAIN ASSOCIATED WITH THE NEXT
WAVE LIFTING NORTH FROM INDIANA IS NOT EXPECTED TO IMPACT SRN LWR
MI. RAIN AMOUNTS OVER THE WEEKEND ARE CURRENTLY EXPECTED TO BE A
TENTH OF AN INCH OR LESS DURING EACH 12 HOUR PERIOD. THIS SHOULD
HAVE MINIMAL IMPACT ON THE RIVER LEVELS AND THE CURRENT RIVER STAGE
FORECASTS.

&&

.GRR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
MI....NONE.
LM....NONE.
