AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
410 AM EDT THU SEP 29 2011

.SYNOPSIS.../ISSUED AT 410 AM/

A FAST-MOVING TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL SWING THROUGH THE GREAT
LAKES TODAY...MERGING WITH THE PERSISTENT UPPER LEVEL LOW THAT HAS
BEEN IN PLACE FOR THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS. PERIODS OF RAIN AND A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED...MAINLY FROM THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH
FRIDAY MORNING. STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS WILL USHER IN MUCH COOLER AIR
INTO NORTHERN MICHIGAN TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY...WITH BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES EXPECTED THROUGH THE WEEKEND. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD
INTO THE REGION FRIDAY NIGHT...BRINGING A MUCH NEEDED RETURN TO FAIR
WEATHER THIS WEEKEND...AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

NS

&&

.SHORT TERM.../ISSUED AT 410 AM/...TODAY

UPPER LEVEL LOW CONTINUES TO VERY SLOWLY SPIN DOWN OVER SE LOWER MI.
THERE ISN/T ANY SORT OF SURFACE REFLECTION LEFT. STILL...ASSOCIATED
SHRA ACTIVITY HAS EXCEEDED ALL EXPECTATIONS...THOUGH FINALLY THERE
APPEARS TO BE LITTLE BUT SPRINKLES LEFT. UPSTREAM...A COLD FRONT
EXTENDED FROM SOUTHERN JAMES BAY TO NRN MN...THEN TURNING SOUTH
TOWARD IOWA. A SURFACE LOW WAS STARTING TO GET ITS ACT TOGETHER NW
OF THUNDER BAY ONT. CLOUDS/PRECIP (INCLUDING TSRA) ARE BECOMING MORE
CONSIDERABLE UP THAT WAY. PRECIP TRENDS THE MAIN CONCERN...WITH
SIGNIFICANT WINDS ALSO STARTING TO ENTER THE PICTURE JUST BEFORE 00Z.

INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT THE UPPER LOW OVER SE LOWER MI IS NO LONGER
PROGGED TO ACTUALLY DEPART. INSTEAD IT GETS CAPTURED BY THE INCOMING
STRONG SHORTWAVE...LIFTING NORTHWARD ACROSS LAKE HURON TODAY AS THE
INCOMING SYSTEM CLOSES OFF AND HEADS FOR CENTRAL/SOUTHERN LAKE MI.
THIS RESULTS IN A DELAYED AND DEAMPLIFIED PERIOD OF SHORTWAVE
RIDGING BETWEEN THE TWO SYSTEMS...AND COOLER AIR ALOFT/DEEPER
MOISTURE LASTING THRU PART OF THE DAY TODAY. AS TEMPS CLIMB BACK
INTO THE 60S WITH DAYTIME HEATING...MUCAPES OF AROUND 200J/KG WILL
RE-EMERGE...ESPECIALLY IN NE LOWER MI AND EASTERN UPPER. SO A RISK
OF DIURNAL SHRA WILL MAINTAIN ITSELF...AHEAD OF THE SYNOPTIC PRECIP
THREAT. WILL BE ABLE TO GO DRY IN MUCH OF THE REGION EARLY THIS
MORNING...BUT WILL RE-EMERGE AS SOON AS LATE MORNING IN MOST PLACES.

THIS AFTERNOON...THE DIGGING AND AMPLIFYING 500MB CIRCULATION WILL
CRATER HEIGHTS. THE SURFACE LOW WILL DEEPEN ABOUT 7MB TODAY AS IT
MOVES FROM NEAR ISLE ROYALE AT 12Z...TO N CENTRAL LOWER MI (992MB)
AT 00Z. SW 850MB WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 30-40KT DOWNSTATE LATE THIS
AFTERNOON...HELPING FEED A NARROW RIBBON OF INCREASED MOISTURE INTO
NORTHERN MI JUST AHEAD OF THE LOW AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT. MODELS
ARE MORE BULLISH ON INSTABILITY...PROBABLY A CONSEQUENCE OF LESS
500MB RIDGING/COOLER TEMPS ALOFT JUST AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM. MLCAPES
INCREASE TO AROUND 500J/KG (64/57 PARCEL) ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE
SURFACE LOW TRACK...AND WITH A STRONG SHOT OF DYNAMICS TSRA ARE A
DISTINCT POSSIBILITY NEAR/SOUTH OF M-32 LATE TODAY/THIS EVENING.

OTHERWISE...SHRA WILL BREAK OUT FROM WEST TO EAST FROM MID AFTERNOON
ON. LIKELY TO CATEGORICAL POPS NEEDED EVERYWHERE.

COLD ADVECTION WILL DEVELOP NEAR/WEST OF TVC/CAD BY 00Z...THOUGH ON
THE WEAKISH SIDE. STRONG LOW LEVEL WINDS WILL ALREADY IN IMPINGING
ON THE LAKE MI COAST IN THAT AREA...WITH 40-45KT 950MB WINDS FROM
THE MANITOUS SOUTH. COASTAL GUSTS TO 45 MPH ARE CERTAINLY POSSIBLE
AT THE END OF THE DAY. WITH MOST OF WIND THREAT TONIGHT INTO
FRIDAY...WIND HEADLINES WILL BE ADDRESSED IN GREATER DETAIL IN THE
LONG TERM SECTION BELOW.

JZ

&&

.LONG TERM.../ISSUED AT 410 AM/...TONIGHT AND BEYOND

SURFACE LOW WILL BOTTOM OUT AT 990-989MB OVER NE LOWER MI TONIGHT...
THEN FILL AND DISAPPEAR INTO THE COLD FRONT AS IT CROSSES THE
EASTERN LAKES FRIDAY. SYNOPTIC PRECIP TONIGHT...WILL FADE TO LAKE
EFFECT PRECIP FRIDAY...AND TO NO PRECIP AT ALL AFTER THAT. BUT WINDS
TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY ARE THE MAIN ISSUE.

NO APPRECIABLE MODEL DIFFERENCES OF NOTE.

TONIGHT...SURFACE LOW MOVES FROM N CENTRAL LOWER MI TO NEAR THE
SOUTH END OF GEORGIAN BAY. 500MB LOW CENTER WILL BE JUST SOUTH OF
THE SURFACE LOW. WIDELY VARYING SURFACE WINDS TO START THE
EVENING...WILL EVENTUALLY SETTLE DOWN INTO N TO NW WINDS EVERYWHERE
BY MORNING. TROWAL (WARM TONGUE AT 850MB) WILL BE OVERHEAD IN THE
EVENING...BEFORE GETTING SHUNTED SOUTH AND EAST OVERNIGHT...ALLOWING
STRONGER COLD ADVECTION TO BEGIN. THE RELATIVE WARMTH AT 850MB
(6-7C)...AND CLOSED/CHILLY 500MB LOW (-17-18C) WILL MAINTAIN
STEEPISH LAPSE RATES IN THE EVENING (UP TO 6.5C/KM FROM 700 TO
500MB). SHRA WILL BE WIDESPREAD IN THE EVENING/EARLY
OVERNIGHT...WITH A FEW TSRA IN NE LOWER EARLY ON. SYNOPTIC PRECIP
WILL START TO DIMINISH IN SOME AREAS OVERNIGHT AS THE LOWS HEAD
EAST. BUT TRAILING DEFORMATION/COLD CONVEYOR BELT WILL STILL BE
ACTIVE IN NE LOWER MI UNTIL ALMOST 12Z. IN ADDITION...LAKE EFFECT
WILL KICK INTO GEAR AS THE COLDER AIR ARRIVES OVERNIGHT (850MB TEMPS
-1 TO -3C AT 12Z ON NORTHERN LAKE MI/EASTERN SUPERIOR). BY
DAYBREAK...HIGHEST POPS WILL BE IN NE LOWER MI (DEPARTING SYNOPTIC
PRECIP)...AND WESTERN CHIPPEWA (EASTERN UPPER) AND W OF US-131 (NW
LOWER) WITH NORTH FLOW LAKE EFFECT RAIN.

WINDS...MODELS HAVE CONSISTENTLY PAINTED LAKE MI AND ADJOINING
COASTLINES WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS FOR THIS EVENT. N/NNW 950MB
WINDS OF 50-55KT ARE SHOWN AT TIMES TONIGHT ON LAKE MI IN BOTH THE
NAM AND GFS. STRONGER COLD ADVECTION WILL BEGIN AFTER 06Z...AND WITH
LAKE INSTABILITY/VERTICAL MIXING INCREASING...WOULD EXPECT STRONGEST
GUSTS OVERNIGHT. GUSTS OF 50-55MPH CERTAINLY POSSIBLE ALONG THE
LEELANAU/BENZIE/MANISTEE COASTS...45-50MPH ALONG THE REST OF THE
LAKE MI COAST...40-45MPH IN OTHER COASTAL AREAS (NOT GETTING TO LAKE
HURON UNTIL JUST ABOUT DAWN. GIVEN THE EARLIER ONSET AND STRONGEST/
LONGEST DURATION WINDS TARGETING THE THREE COUNTIES MENTIONED...WILL
GO AHEAD AND ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY FOR THEM NOW. THIS IS A STARTING
POINT...ADDITIONAL WIND ADVISORIES MAY BE NEEDED IN OTHER (MAINLY
COASTAL) COUNTIES LATER ON.

MIN TEMPS IN THE 40S.

FRIDAY...SYNOPTIC...LAKE ENHANCED PRECIP WILL LINGER IN NE LOWER MI
INTO PART OF THE MORNING. NORTH FLOW LAKE EFFECT PRECIP WILL BE
ONGOING IN FAR WESTERN CHIP AND PARTS OF NW LOWER MI. DEEPER
MOISTURE DEPARTS DURING THE DAY...WITH 850-700MB RH DROPPING TO 40
PERCENT OR LESS IN WESTERN/NORTHERN SECTIONS BY AFTERNOON. THIS WILL
LIMIT LAKE EFFECT COVERAGE...DESPITE INSTABILITY INCREASING IN THE
UPPER TEENS/NEAR 20C. SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET AWAY WITH JUST SCT
AFTERNOON POPS IN THE N/NNW FLOW REGIMES. 850MB TEMPS DIP TO -5C IN
EASTERN UPPER...BUT THE SURFACE-BASED MELTING LAYER IS STILL 2K FT
OR HIGHER. GIVEN THAT AND DIURNAL INFLUENCES...SNOW IS UNLIKELY.

BLUSTERY AND RAW CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE...THOUGH WINDS WILL VERY
GRADUALLY SLACKEN ALONG WITH THE PRESSURE GRADIENT.

TEMPS WILL GO NOWHERE...STAYING IN THE 40S TO PERHAPS JUST GETTING
PAST 50F.

FRI NIGHT/SATURDAY...HEIGHTS ALOFT WILL SHARPLY REBOUND...AS THE
UPPER LOW MOVE TOWARD THE EAST COAST...AND RIDGING BUILDS FROM THE
PLAINS INTO NORTHERN ONTARIO. DEEP SUBSIDENCE WILL CONTINUE TO DRY
OUT OUR AIRMASS...EVEN AS 850MB TEMPS TUMBLE AS COLD AS -7C BY SAT
MORNING. 850-700MB RH LEVELS WILL LOWER BELOW 25 PERCENT...AND
SHRINKING INVERSION HEIGHTS WILL GRADUALLY WIPE OUT LAKE EFFECT
DESPITE THE IMPRESSIVE INSTABILITY. WILL BE FROSTY IN MANY INTERIOR
AREAS FRI NIGHT...GIVING WAY TO A RELATIVELY SUNNY...BUT STILL QUITE
CHILLY...SATURDAY. MIN TEMPS 20S AND 30S. MAX TEMPS WITHIN A FEW
DEGREES OF 50F.

REST OF THE FORECAST...MAINLY QUIET...WITH MAX TEMPS QUICKLY
RECOVERING TO NEAR CLIMO FOR SUNDAY/MONDAY.

JZ

&&

.MARINE.../ISSUED AT 410 AM/

LOW PRESSURE WILL INTENSIFY AS IT CROSSES NORTHERN LOWER MI THIS
EVENING. WINDS WON/T BE TOO BAD AHEAD OF THE LOW...BUT WILL REALLY
CRANK BEHIND IT AS COLDER AIR ENTERS THE REGION. WARNINGS POSTED FOR
ALL WATERS TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY...GALES IN MOST PLACES...STORMS SOUTH
OF GD TRAV LIGHT ON LAKE MI (WHICH IS ALSO WHERE STRONG WINDS WILL
ARRIVE 1ST...EARLY THIS EVENING). NORTH WINDS WILL SLOWLY DIMINISH
AS WE MOVE THRU FRIDAY AND INTO THE WEEKEND.
