AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
342 AM EDT SUN APR 3 2011

.SYNOPSIS.../ISSUED AT 342 AM/

LOW PRESSURE ORGANIZING OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS WILL QUICKLY MOVE
NORTHEAST INTO THE GREAT LAKES REGION TONIGHT...FURTHER INTENSIFYING
AS IT MOVES NORTHEAST INTO CANADA ON MONDAY. A MIXTURE OF RAIN AND
SNOW WILL MOVE INTO NORTHERN MICHIGAN TODAY...BRINGING SOME LIGHT
ACCUMULATIONS OF SNOW TO THE NORTH HALF OF THE AREA AND ACROSS THE
HIGHER TERRAIN. ANY MIXED PRECIPITATION WILL QUICKLY TRANSITION OVER
TO RAIN LATER TODAY INTO THIS EVENING...WITH EVEN PERHAPS A RUMBLE
OF THUNDER OR TWO. SOME LIGHTER RAIN AND SNOW WILL LINGER MONDAY AND
MONDAY NIGHT AS THE NEXT SURGE OF COLDER AIR FILTERS IN BEHIND THE
DEPARTING STORM. A WEAK SYSTEM WILL MOVE THROUGH WEDNESDAY...
BRINGING ANOTHER POSSIBLE THREAT FOR A WINTRY MIX OF PRECIPITATION.
SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT IS EXPECTED THURSDAY WITH RECOVERING
TEMPERATURES.

MSB

&&

.SHORT TERM.../ISSUED AT 342 AM/...TODAY

MID/HIGH CLOUDS ARE RAPIDLY ADVANCING EASTWARD FROM THE NORTHERN
PLAINS/UPPER MS VALLEY. 991MB SURFACE LOW IS MOVING QUICKLY EASTWARD
ACROSS SD...PRESENTLY NEAR PIERRE. LOOKING TO OUR WEST...PRECIP IS
JUST STARTING TO GET GOING EAST OF THE LOW...WITH AN INITIAL RAIN
BAND GAINING INTENSITY IN WESTERN WI. THE LOW WILL MOVE TO EASTERN
IOWA BY SUNDOWN...WITH A WARM FRONT LIFTING TO NEAR THE SOUTHERN MI
BORDER. STRONG WARM/MOIST ADVECTION TODAY WILL USHER IN AN ACTIVE
36-HR PERIOD OF WX. PRECIP TRENDS ARE THE MAIN CONCERN.

TO START WITH THE BLINDINGLY OBVIOUS...CLOUD COVER WILL RAPIDLY
INCREASE FROM W TO E THIS MORNING. THOUGH THE WARM CONVEYOR BELT IS
NOT ESPECIALLY ACTIVE NOW...THAT WILL CHANGE WITH EASTWARD
PROGRESS...AS AN INCREASINGLY MOIST AIRMASS IS TAPPED. THUS...STILL
EXPECT WIDESPREAD PRECIP TO INVADE THE FORECAST AREA FROM SW TO NE
TODAY. ISENTROPIC ASCENT (300K) IS QUITE IMPRESSIVE...ARRIVING IN NW
LOWER MI THIS MORNING...AND EXPANDING NE-WARD THRU THE DAY (STARTING
TO DIMINISH A BIT NEAR LAKE MI TOWARD 00Z). EXPECT THE NE EDGE NEAR
TVC AT 15Z...TAWAS-PETOSKEY-CURTIS AT 18Z...AND NEAR THE ST MARYS
VALLEY AT 21Z. QPF WILL RANGE FROM 0.10-0.20 NEAR THE SAULT...TO
0.50-0.70 NEAR/SOUTH OF M-72.

AS FOR P-TYPE...SURFACE DEW POINTS ALREADY RUNNING FROM THE MID 20S
TO LOWER 30S...WHICH WILL SOMEWHAT LIMIT EVAP COOLING IN THE
SURFACE-BASED WARM LAYER. EVEN WITH THAT...THE NAM IS PRETTY CHILLY
IN THE SURFACE LAYER...PROBABLY A BIT TOO MUCH SO (STILL DEALING
WITH SNOW COVER ISSUES?). SPLITTING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOUNDING
OUTPUT AND WARMER MET GUIDANCE TEMPS PRODUCES MORE REASONABLE
OUTPUT. EVEN DOING THAT THOUGH...AM GENERALLY GOING TO HAVE TO
WEIGHT THE FORECAST MORE HEAVILY TOWARD SNOW.

LAKE MI COASTAL AREAS OF NW LOWER SHOULD ONLY SEE SNOW NEAR
ONSET...AS A CONSIDERABLE DOWNSLOPING SE WIND WILL KEEP THEM LIQUID
FROM 18Z ON. HEADING TO THE HIGHER TERRAIN AND ON DOWN TO LAKE
HURON...PRECIP LOOKS TO BE PRIMARILY SNOW UNTIL THE WARM NOSE
ARRIVES. THAT WILL HAPPEN AT GLR AND W BRANCH LATE IN THE DAY...BUT
PROBABLY NOT TIL 00Z OR EVEN AFTER AT APN/PLN/WESTERN MACKINAC CO.
REST OF EASTERN UPPER WILL EASILY STAY ALL SNOW. MAX OMEGA IS FOUND
AT SINGLE DIGITS C BELOW...AND SURFACE TEMPS WILL BE NEAR OR A BIT
ABOVE FREEZING. THOSE FACTS BOTH SUGGEST LOW SNOW-LIQUID RATIOS
(8-10 TO 1)...AND GIVEN IT IS APRIL THAT MAKES SENSE.

WILL SPREAD 2 INCH ACCUMS ACROSS A LARGER PORTION OF NORTHERN LOWER
MI...AND INCREASE PLN/APN TO AROUND 3. EASTERN UPPER MI WILL BE
1-3...HAMPERED BY A LATE START TO PRECIP.

JZ

&&

.LONG TERM.../ISSUED AT 342 AM/...TONIGHT AND BEYOND

PLENTY TO DEAL WITH OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS (AND BEYOND).
SURFACE LOW (987MB) WILL BE CROSSING MI AT DAYBREAK MONDAY...AND
WILL DEEPEN (972MB) AS IT MOVES NE TO WESTERN QUEBEC BY TUESDAY
MORNING. COLD AIR AND GUSTY WINDS WILL WARP IN BEHIND THE DEPARTING
LOW. PRECIP TRENDS REMAIN THE MAIN CONCERN THRU MONDAY NIGHT.

TONIGHT...WARM NOSE IN THE 900-700MB LAYER WILL CONTINUE TO RACE
NORTHWARD...EVEN AS BEST ISENTROPIC ASCENT AND HEAVIEST PRECIP LIFTS
NORTH OF THE REGION. BEHIND THE MAIN PRECIP BAND...DRIER AIR ABOVE
700MB WILL TURN THIS INTO A -RA/DZ EVENT. HOWEVER...THERE IS ALSO
SOME DEEP CONVECTION POTENTIAL...MAINLY IN THE SE THIRD OF THE
FORECAST AREA. MUCAPES INCREASE TO ALMOST 500J/KG IN THE 03Z-06Z
TIMEFRAME...WHEN LIFTING FROM 775MB. WILL SUPPRESS THE THUNDER
THREAT A LITTLE FURTHER SOUTH...BUT OTHERWISE THAT IDEA REMAINS
SOUND. THE IDEA OF SOME BANDS OF SHRA (AND PERHAPS TSRA) NEAR AND
SOUTH OF AN APN-CAD LINE IS VERY REASONABLE.

AS FOR WINTRY PRECIP...ANY LINGERING SNOW IN NORTHERN LOWER WILL
VERY RAPIDLY END AFTER 00Z. AT THE SAULT...THIS PROCESS WILL TAKE
LONGER...HOLDING OFF TIL A BIT PAST MIDNIGHT. 1-3 INCH ACCUMS AGAIN
POSSIBLE THERE...WITH REASONABLY WIDESPREAD 3-4 INCH EVENT TOTALS.
PER COORD WITH MQT...THAT WILL WARRANT A WINT WX ADVIS FOR LATE
TODAY INTO TONIGHT.

MONDAY...SURFACE LOW WILL MOVE FROM THE TIP OF NORTHERN LOWER
MI...TO SOUTH OF JAMES BAY. THE OCCLUDED FRONT WILL CLEAR THE
FORECAST AREA IN THE MORNING. 850MB TEMPS WILL START THE MORNING IN
THE MID TO UPPER SINGLE DIGITS ABOVE ZERO...BUT END IT THE SAME
AMOUNT BELOW ZERO. A BAND OF MORE WIDESPREAD SHRA MAY ACCOMPANY THE
OCCLUDED FRONT ACROSS NE LOWER IN THE MORNING. OTHERWISE...THE
AIRMASS WILL BE MOIST BELOW 750MB OR SO...BUT RELATIVELY DRY ALOFT.
THIS WILL KEEP POPS SOMEWHAT LOW...ESPECIALLY IT ISN/T COLD ENOUGH
FOR LAKE EFFECT (YET). MIXED RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS STILL LOOKS LIKE AN
AFTERNOON POSSIBILITY IN EASTERN UPPER AND THE HIGH TERRAIN OF
NORTHERN LOWER. NORTHWEST WINDS WILL TURN QUITE BLUSTERY IN THE
AFTERNOON...THOUGH WITHOUT BOMBOGENESIS TO OUR NE (LIKE THE GFS
SHOWED YESTERDAY)...WIND HEADLINES WILL NOT BE NEEDED. TEMPS WILL
FALL INTO AND THRU THE 30S...EXCEPT HOLDING NEAR 40 FROM APN TO
STANDISH.

MONDAY NIGHT...BLUSTERY AND RAW NW WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO ADVECT
UNSEASONABLY COLD AIR INTO NORTHERN MI. BY DAYBREAK...850MB TEMPS
WILL BE -12/-13C. THAT IS CERTAINLY COLD ENOUGH FOR LAKE
EFFECT...WITH DELTA T/S IN THE MID TEENS. INVERSION HEIGHTS WILL BE
A RESPECTABLE 6-7K FT. HOWEVER...WITH THE UPPER TROF PULLING
OUT...MID-LEVEL MOISTURE VALUES WILL BE DECREASING...ESPECIALLY ON
LAKE MI. 850-700MB RH VALUES WILL LOWER TO AROUND 50 PERCENT ON LAKE
MI...WHILE HOLDING NEAR 80 PERCENT ON SUPERIOR THANKS TO A SECONDARY
SHORTWAVE APPROACHING SUPERIOR FROM THE NW. WAS TEMPTED TO BOOST
OVERNIGHT POPS TO LIKELY IN WESTERN CHIP CO...BUT THAT WOULD NOT
HAVE MESHED WITH MQT...SO WE/LL WAIT ANOTHER RUN AND MAKE SURE THAT
NEXT SHORTWAVE IS GOING TO BE THERE. SO JUST CHANCY SNOW SHOWERS
MOST PLACES...WITH SOME DUSTINGS OF SNOW POSSIBLE. MIN TEMPS IN THE
MID/UPPER 20S.

JZ

REST OF THE FORECAST (TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)...WINTER APPEARS NOT
TO BE GIVING UP JUST YET...AND THAT WILL NO MORE EVIDENT THAN ON
TUESDAY...WITH GUSTY AND CHILLY NORTHWEST WINDS CONTINUING BEHIND
DEPARTING SOUTHEAST CANADA LOW PRESSURE. STILL THINKING SOME LAKE
INDUCED SNOWS ARE POSSIBLE EARLY TUESDAY AS 850MB TEMPERATURES DIVE
INTO THE NEGATIVE LOWER TEENS...ALTHOUGH QUICK LOSS OF SYNOPTIC
MOISTURE HELP AND DROPPING INVERSION LEVELS SHOULD KEEP INTENSITY
LEVELS IN CHECK. BRIEF RESPITE IN THE ACTION LATER TUESDAY BEFORE
FAST MOVING...LOW AMPLITUDE WAVE PUSHES INTO THE REGION EARLY
WEDNESDAY. WHILE MID LEVEL DYNAMICS NOT OVERLY IMPRESSIVE...WHAT
THERE ARE..WORKING ON DECENT OVERHEAD THERMAL GRADIENT AND SOMEWHAT
IMPRESSIVE MOISTURE PLUME (PWAT VALUES AOA 0.50 INCHES)...SHOULD
KICK OFF A DECENT AREA OF PRECIPITATION WEDNESDAY. EXACT TYPE
MUCH MORE PROBLEMATIC...AND TIED TO JUST HOW FAR NORTH LOW LEVEL
THERMAL BOUNDARY WILL RESIDE. LATEST GFS/GEM SOLUTIONS TRENDING
NOTICEABLY SOUTH WITH THERMAL AXIS AND SUBSEQUENT LOW PRESSURE
TRACK...WHICH SEEMS REASONABLE GIVEN MAINTENANCE OF SOUTHEAST CANADA
TROUGHING. THERMAL PROFILES OFF THE GFS STRONGLY SUPPORT A WINTRY
MIX OF PRECIPITATION...IF NOT ALL SNOW...OVER MUCH OF NORTHERN
MICHIGAN. THAT SAID...FEEL LOW LEVEL TEMPERATURE PROGS WITH THE GFS
ARE NOT QUITE WARM ENOUGH GIVEN DAYTIME OCCURRENCE. AND...TO ADD TO
THE COMPLEXITY...12Z ECMWF WOULD SUGGEST MUCH OF THE PRECIPITATION
FALLING AS RAIN OR RAIN/SNOW MIXTURE AS THE LOW CUTS ACROSS THE TIP
OF THE MITT. WHILE TEND TO BELIEVE THE MORE SUPPRESSED SOLUTIONS ARE
THE WAY TO GO WITH THIS EVENT OCCURING SO QUICKLY ON THE HEELS OF
OUR EARLY WEEK SYSTEM...WILL GENERALLY KEEP INHERITED FORECAST...
FEATURING A MIXTURE OF RAIN AND SNOW...IN TACT AND WHAT FOR MORE
CONSISTENT GUIDANCE BEFORE MAKING MORE DRASTIC CHANGES. EVENT WILL
HAVE TO BE CLOSELY WATCHED...AS COOLER GFS SCENARIO WOULD DEFINITELY
ALLOW FOR SOME LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS OF SNOW...ESPECIALLY OVER THE
HIGHLANDS.

NO CHANGES TO THE REST OF THE PERIOD GIVEN VAST UNCERTAINTY ON
TIMING OF ANY INDIVIDUAL WAVES ROTATING OUT OF BASE OF DEEPENING
WESTERN TROUGH AXIS. POTENTIAL IS DEFINITELY THERE FOR A MORE ACTIVE
PERIOD OF WEATHER SOMETIME LATER THIS WEEK INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

MSB

.MARINE.../ISSUED AT 342 AM/

A LENGTHY PERIOD OF QUIET MARINE WX IS ABOUT TO COME TO A SCREECHING
HALT. LOW PRESSURE IN SD THIS MORNING WILL REACH NORTHERN MI ON
MONDAY MORNING...AND WESTERN QUEBEC TUESDAY MORNING. SE WINDS WILL
DEVELOP TODAY...AND INCREASE THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT. THE NW
LOWER MI COAST WILL APPROACH SCA WIND GUSTS LATE TODAY...BUT GIVEN
THE OFFSHORE WINDS WILL KEEP THE FORECAST JUST BELOW ADVISORY
LEVELS. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES HAVE BEEN POSTED FOR TONIGHT FOR
THOSE ZONES MOST EXPOSED TO A SE WIND...ESPECIALLY ON LAKE HURON.
ADDITIONAL ZONES COULD WELL BE ADDED.

AFTER A BRIEF LULL AS THE LOW GOES OVERHEAD...NW WINDS WILL RAMP UP
DURING THE DAY MONDAY. SCA CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED...AND GALES ARE
NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION.

JZ

&&

.AVIATION.../ISSUED AT 1249 AM/...VALID FOR 06Z TAFS

ASIDE FROM SOME PATCHY MVFR FOG DEVELOPMENT AT TVC/PLN...OVERALL
CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN VFR OVERNIGHT AS A RIDGE AXIS BRIEFLY BUILDS
INTO THE REGION. THE FOG WILL DISSIPATE BY AROUND SUNRISE AS WINDS
INCREASE AND CLOUD COVER THICKENS. WIDESPREAD RAIN AND SNOW
ACCOMPANIED BY MVFR CONDITIONS WILL QUICKLY DEVELOP FROM SW TO NE
ACROSS NRN LWR MICHIGAN SUNDAY MORNING. PRECIP WILL BE ALL RAIN AT
TVC...WITH A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW EXPECTED AT APN AND PLN FOR MUCH
OF THE DAY. PRECIP SHOULD BECOME ALL RAIN AT APN AND PLN BY LATE
AFTERNOON. WIDESPREAD RAIN WILL THEN CONTINUE THRU SUNDAY EVENING. A
THUNDERSTORM IS ALSO POSSIBLE...BUT THE CHANCE IS TOO SMALL TO
INCLUDE IN THE TAF AT THIS TIME.
