AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
640 AM EST FRI DEC 2 2011

.SYNOPSIS.../ISSUED AT 500 AM/

DRY AND CHILLY TO END THE WORK WEEK...BEFORE GATHERING LOW PRESSURE
SPREADS A WINTRY MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW ACROSS THE REGION FOR THE
WEEKEND. NEXT WEEK LOOKS TO REMAIN SEASONABLY CHILLY WITH
OCCASIONALLY CHANCES FOR MAINLY LAKE EFFECT SNOWS.

MSB

&&

.SHORT TERM.../ISSUED AT 500 AM/...TODAY

UPPER LEVEL TROUGH SWINGING INTO NRN MICHIGAN EARLY THIS MORNING
WITH ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT TO OUR SOUTHEAST ALONG WITH
YESTERDAY/LAST EVENING'S LIGHT SNOW. COLD ADVECTION IS BRINGING
SOME OF THE COLDEST AIR DOWN INTO US...WITH H8 TEMPS FALLING TO
-8C TO -12C. AIR MASS AT THIS LEVEL IS DRYING HOWEVER...BUT THE
925MB LEVEL REMAINS ON THE MOIST SIDE OF THINGS AND STUCK
UNDERNEATH AN INCREASINGLY STABLE LAYER ALOFT. THIS HAS RESULTED
IN THE TYPICAL LAYERED STRATOCU IN THE NW SNOWBELTS WITH A FEW
FLURRIES AT TIMES. . HIGHER LEVEL CLOUDS IN STRONGER SW FLOW ALOFT
CONTINUED TO BLANKET THE SE CWA...BUT THESE WERE MAKING STEADY
PROGRESS SOUTHWARD AND SHOULD BE OUT OF THE AREA BY 12-13Z. THE
CLOUDS HAVE STEADIED THE TEMPERATURE DROP...AND READINGS WERE
HOLDING IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 20S NORTH...TO THE UPPER 20S AROUND
30 DEGREES SOUTH.

THROUGH THE DAY...NOT MUCH TO BE CONCERNED WITH...925MB MOISTURE
HOLDS THROUGH THE DAY WITH SUFFICIENT OVERLAKE INSTABILITY TO
CONTINUE GENERATING MOISTURE FLUX OFF THE WARMER LAKES. THIS
MOISTURE WILL HANG AROUND IN THE FORM OF STRATO CU THROUGH A GOOD
DEAL OF THE MORNING. HOWEVER...NOT VERY STRONG INVERSION...AND
LOSS OF NIGHTTIME COOLING OF THE TOP OF THE MOIST LAYER WILL LIKELY
ALLOW FOR THESE CLOUDS TO MIX OUT INTO MIDDAY AND EARLY AFTERNOON.
AM NOT ENTIRELY SURE TO WHAT EXTENT THE CLOUDS WILL BREAK UP SO
LEFT SOME PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES DOWNWIND OF THE LAKES AS WINDS BACK
FROM NW TO SW AS AN AXIS OF HIGHER PRESSURE SWINGS THROUGH. SHOULD
BE A CHILLY ONE TODAY DESPITE THE EXPECTED SUNSHINE. HIGHS IN THE
LOWER TO MIDDLE 30S.

SMD

&&

.LONG TERM.../ISSUED AT 500 AM/...TONIGHT AND BEYOND

TONIGHT...UPPER RIDGING PASSES EAST THROUGH THE NIGHT AS STRONGER
SW FLOW REDEVELOPS ALOFT...IN RESPONSE TO NEXT UPPER TROUGH
ENTERING MONTANA/DAKOTAS. OUTSIDE OF THE PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES
DOWNWIND OF LAKE MICHIGAN (STILL SUFFICIENT OVERLAKE INSTABILITY
THROUGH THE NIGHT AT 925MB)...SKIES SHOULD START OUT RATHER CLEAR
FOR MOST. THE LIGHTER WIND FIELD EARLY ON WILL ALLOW A QUICK DROP
IN TEMPERATURES INTO THE LOWER AND MIDDLE 20S...BEFORE THE DROP
SLOWS IN RESPONSE TO QUICK INCREASE IN LOW LEVEL WINDS FROM
TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT. ALSO SLOWING THE DROP...TO SOME
DEGREE...WILL BE THE INCREASE IN HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS IN ADVANCE OF
INITIAL SHORTWAVE ENERGY EJECTING FROM UPSTREAM TROUGH. THIS
DOESN'T OCCUR UNTIL LATE...AND THE LOWEST LYING AREAS PROTECTED
FROM WIND WILL BE THE ONLY ONES TO MAYBE HIT THEIR LOWS LATE AT
NIGHT. MOISTURE NEVER DEEPENS ENOUGH FOR PRECIP TO FALL AS LOW TO
MID LEVELS STAY DRY.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...THINGS ARE STARTING TO TAKE SHAPE FOR THE
WEEKEND WITH GROWING CONFIDENCE IN THE EVOLUTION OF PRECIP AND
PRECIP TYPE. GFS STILL REMAINS THE COLDEST OF THE MODELS WITH
ECMWF/NAM IN MORE AGREEMENT WITH THE THERMAL REGIME...AND
ECMWF/GFS IN AGREEMENT WITH THE STRENGTH OF NEXT SFC LOW. THIS SFC
LOW WILL LIFT INTO MISSOURI SATURDAY WITH A STRONGER CANADIAN LOW
LIFTING THROUGH JAMES BAY. THIS DRAGS A COLD FRONT IN OVER LAKE
MICHIGAN AND EASTERN UPPER BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON. H8-H7 WAA AND
BETTER GULF OF MEXICO TAP AHEAD OF INITIAL SHORTWAVE ENERGY WILL
RESULT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF RAIN FOCUSED ON THE FRONT. THIS
FRONT WILL PROGRESS VERY LITTLE TO THE EAST AS THE MISSOURI LOW
THEN LIFTS UP INTO NRN LOWER MICHIGAN SUNDAY. THE RESULT WILL BE
FOR AN INITIAL SWATCH OF PRECIP SATURDAY BEFORE DRYING ALOFT
ACROSS THE SE CWA WILL BRING A POTENTIAL BRIEF PERIOD OF LIGHT
RAIN OR DRIZZLE SATURDAY EVENING...WHILE MORE PERSISTENT PRECIP
CONTINUES ALONG THE FRONT ACROSS THE NW CWA. THE SECOND LOW
PRESSURE LIFTS INTO NRN LOWER AND BRINGS THE NEXT ROUND OF
WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION BEFORE THE WINDS SHIFT WESTERLY WITH
IT'S DEPARTURE...AND COLDER AIR THEN BEGINS TO DESCEND INTO THE
FORECAST AREA THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. CONCERNING
SNOW...HAVE TAKEN A BLENDED APPROACH TO THE THERMAL REGIME. THIS
SUGGESTS THAT SNOW WILL MIX IN WITH THE RAIN ACROSS MOST OF
EASTERN UPPER SATURDAY MORNING BEFORE THINGS LOOK MORE LIKE A
TOTAL RAIN SCENARIO INTO SATURDAY EVENING. THINGS REMAIN THAT WAY
UNTIL THE DEPARTURE OF SFC LOW SUNDAY...AT WHICH TIME THE LOW
LEVEL COOLING BRINGS A GRADUALLY COLDER AND SNOWIER PICTURE
THROUGH MUCH OF EASTERN UPPER AND NW LOWER MICHIGAN. BY THE TIME
AIR MASS GETS COLD ENOUGH FOR SNOW IN NRN LOWER...ALL OF THE
SYNOPTIC PRECIP IS GONE. WE THEN HAVE TO RELY UPON SNOW FOR LAKE
EFFECT MECHANISMS...WHICH DO NOT LOOK TO GET UNDERWAY UNTIL SUNDAY
NIGHT...WHILE MOISTURE IS RATHER UNIMPRESSIVE. SO...WE DODGED
ANOTHER CHANCE AT DECENT SNOW.

SMD

MONDAY ONWARD...MAINTENANCE OF SOME SEMBLANCE OF FAR EAST PACIFIC
RIDGING AT LEAST ENSURES A NEAR SEASONABLE TEMPERATURE REGIME NEXT
WEEK AS FREQUENT REINFORCING BOUTS OF COLD AIR DROP OUT OF CANADA.
HOWEVER...LACK OF ANY SIGNIFICANT NORTH ATLANTIC BLOCKING (AND
NONE IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE) AND CONTINUATION OF SOUTHEAST
CONUS RIDGING (LA NINA DRIVEN?)...SHOULD RESULT IN GLANCING BLOWS
OF COLDER AIR...WITH THE TRUE ARCTIC AIR REMAINING NORTH OF THE
BORDER. NO SIGNIFICANT STORMS ARE EXPECTED...ALTHOUGH WILL NEED TO
KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON POSSIBLE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY CUT-OFF MID
LEVEL LOW DEVELOPMENT TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. CONFIDENCE
IN THIS REMAINS VERY LOW...AND PROGRESSIVE NORTHERN STREAM FLOW
SHOULD KEEP ANY ATTENDANT SURFACE LOW AND GULF MOISTURE PLUME TO
OUR SOUTH AND EAST. ONLY NOTEWORTHY PRECIPITATION APPEARS TIED TO
LAKE INDUCED POTENTIAL AS STEP-DOWN COOLING PROCESS UNFOLDS.
CURRENT PROGS ALSO SUGGEST THAT THIS SHOULD NOT BE TOO BIG A
DEAL...WITH ONLY FLEETING SHOTS OF SYNOPTIC MOISTURE HELP. WE
SHALL SEE...BUT SIMPLY NO EVIDENCE OF ANY TYPICAL NORTHERN
MICHIGAN HARD CORE WINTER WEATHER JUST YET :(.

.MARINE.../ISSUED AT 628 AM/

WINDS ARE CONTINUING TO DIMINISH THIS MORNING AS PRESSURE GRADIENT
SLACKENS IN ADVANCE OF HIGHER PRESSURE FROM THE WEST. THIS HIGH
PRESSURE EXITS EAST BY EVENING AND NEXT APPROACHING COLD FRONT
WILL ARRIVE OVER THE WEEKEND. WINDS RAMP UP ONCE AGAIN LATE THIS
AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT WITH GALES POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT
AND SATURDAY ALONG THE NRN LOWER MICHIGAN NEARSHORE ZONES OF LAKE
MICHIGAN. SOME UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE STRENGTH OF THE WINDS
FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE REGION...BUT GALES ARE NOT ENTIRELY OUT
OF THE REALM OF POSSIBILITY SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY ACROSS
PORTIONS OF THE LAKE HURON NEARSHORE WATERS. STAY TUNED FOR LATER
UPDATES ONCE WIND STRENGTHS BECOME MORE CLEAR.

SMD

&&

.AVIATION.../ISSUED AT 628 AM/...VALID FOR 12Z TAFS

COLDER AIR CONTINUES TO FILL IN BEHIND COLD FRONT THAT PASSED LAST
EVENING. LAKE CLOUDS/MVFR CIGS HAVE BEEN GENERATED IN A VERY DRY
OVERALL AIR MASS. AM EXPECTING LAKE CLOUDS TO GRADUALLY DISSIPATE
THROUGH MORNING...AS THE MOIST/CLOUD LAYER IS NOT CAPPED OFF VERY
WELL BY AN INVERSION. PLUS COLD POOL EXITING EAST AND LOW LEVEL
WARMING WILL HELP CLEAR THINGS OUT. COULD ACTUALLY SEE SOME
REDEVELOPMENT OF THE LAKE CLOUDS THIS EVENING...BUT A GRADUAL WIND
SHIFT TO OUT OF THE SW WILL KEEP ANY CHANCE AT MVFR CIGS AWAY FROM
THE TAF SITES. LOW LEVEL WINDS RAMP UP AGAIN OVERNIGHT...AND LOW
LEVEL WIND SHEAR WILL BE AN ISSUE STARTING AROUND 05Z.

SMD

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN...
EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN...AND ADJACENT NEARSHORE WATERS OF LAKE
MICHIGAN...LAKE HURON AND LAKE SUPERIOR.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

GALE FORCE WINDS ARE POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT OVER PORTIONS OF THE
NEARSHORE WATERS SURROUNDING LAKE MICHIGAN. SEE LATEST MARINE
FORECASTS FOR FURTHER DETAILS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY

GALE FORCE WINDS ARE POSSIBLE SATURDAY OVER PORTIONS OF THE
NEARSHORE WATERS SURROUNDING LAKE MICHIGAN. SEE LATEST MARINE
FORECASTS FOR FURTHER DETAILS.

ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL IS POSSIBLE SUNDAY...ACROSS FAR WESTERN
SECTIONS OF EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN. THE CHANCE FOR ACCUMULATING
LAKE EFFECT SNOWFALL IN THE SNOWBELTS OF BOTH EASTERN UPPER AND
NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN MONDAY AND TUESDAY LEAVES MUCH TO BE
DESIRED AT THIS POINT. HOWEVER...THERE STILL REMAINS A CHANCE FOR
ACCUMULATING LAKE EFFECT SNOWFALL OVER THIS TIME FRAME FOR SOME
COMMUNITIES IN THE TYPICAL SNOWBELTS.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED.
