AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
120 AM EDT WED APR 13 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A VERY PLEASANT DAY ACROSS NORTHERN LOWER AND EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN
WITH HIGH PRESSURE IN CONTROL. EXPECT THIS HIGH PRESSURE TO SHIFT
SOUTHEAST TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY AS A COLD FRONT CURRENTLY OVER MN
MOVES TOWARD THE REGION. THIS COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA
WED AFTN/NIGHT WITH COOLER WEATHER EXPECTED THU INTO FRIDAY. A
STRONG LATE SEASON STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE TOWARD THE UPPER GREAT
LAKES FOR THE WEEKEND BRINGING WITH IT A GOOD CHANCE FOR RAIN AND
SNOW

&&

.SHORT TERM.../ISSUED AT 1028 PM/...TONIGHT

HIGH PRESSURE RESIDES OVER THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES THIS EVENING,
AND IS SLOWLY SLIDING TO THE EAST. AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IN
WESTERN ONTARIO WITH A COLD FRONT STRETCHING INTO CENTRAL NEBRASKA
WILL BE THE NEXT WEATHER SYSTEM TO DEAL WITH. AT THIS POINT, THERE
IS LITTLE UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT FOR THE COLD FRONT AS IT MOVES TOWARD
THE REGION. AT THIS POINT, IT IS ONLY PRODUCING CLOUDS, WHICH WILL
ONLY GET TO THE REGION AFTER 12Z/13. SO FOR THE OVERNIGHT, THE SKI
WILL REMAIN MOSTLY CLEAR, AS SCT-BKN CIRRUS IS EXPECTED WITH LIGHT
WINDS. SO AT THIS POINT LITTLE CHANGES ARE FORESEEN FOR THE
FORECAST.

JSL

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND BEYOND/...

ALL MODELS AGREE ON THE GENERAL IDEA OF BRINGING A STRONG LATE
SEASON LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES THIS WEEKEND. AS
IS USUALLY THE CASE THIS TIME OF YEAR...THE DETAILS WILL BE TRICKY
TO PIN DOWN ESPECIALLY WITH REGARDS TO PRECIPITATION TYPE. THE
ECMWF...GFS AND GEM ARE IN FAIR AGREEMENT AS THE SYSTEM APPROACHES
FRI INTO FRIDAY NIGHT. WARM ADVECTION TYPE PCPN MOST LIKELY IN THE
FORM OF RAIN SHOULD DEVELOP FROM SOUTH TO NORTH FRI AFTN AND NIGHT
AS THE SYSTEM APPROACHES. WITH DRY AIR AT THE START COMBINED WITH
EASTERLY FLOW...IT MAY TAKE SOME TIME FOR THE PCPN TO SPREAD NED
ESPECIALLY ACROSS EASTERN UPPER MI. REGARDLESS...BY FRI NIGHT EXPECT
PCPN TO BE WIDESPREAD ACROSS THE AREA AND HAVE CONTINUED WITH LIKELY
POPS. AT THIS POINT...THE MODELS BEGIN TO DIVERGE AS THE ECMWF AND
GEM BOTH SUGGEST THAT THE ENTIRE CLOSED SYSTEM WILL BECOME
NEGATIVELY TILTED ABOUT A DAY SOONER THAN THE GFS...THUS IMPLYING A
MORE WESTERN/NORTHERN SOLN AS OPPOSED TO THE GFS AND UKMET WHICH DO
NOT ALLOW THE NEGATIVE TILT TO OCCUR AS SOON. GIVEN THE FAIRLY
STRONG BLOCK IN PLACE ACROSS THE WESTERN ATLC...AM THINKING THAT A
SOLN SIMILAR TO THE GEM/ECMWF IS A REASONABLE ONE. AM THINKING THAT
MOST OF THE AREA SOUTH OF M-32 WILL REMAIN ALL RAIN FOR MOST OF THE
EVENT UNTIL THE LOW PASSES EAST ON SUNDAY. FURTHER
NORTH...ESPECIALLY ACROSS EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN WILL NEED TO BE
WATCHED FOR P-TYPE...ALTHOUGH THE 12Z GFS EVEN SUGGESTS THAT IT WILL
BE RAIN MOST OF THE TIME FOR THAT AREA AS WELL...EXCEPT MAYBE AT THE
ONSET FRI NIGHT INTO SAT MORNING. WITH THE SYSTEM LIKELY BEING SO
DYNAMIC...A RUMBLE OF THUNDER WOULD NOT BE OUT OF THE QUESTION
ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE FAR SOUTH LATE FRI NIGHT INTO SATURDAY WITH
SHOWALTER INDEX VALUES DROPPING TO NEAR 0C AND MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES
AROUND 6.4 C/KM. SHOULD REMAIN DRY FOR MON/TUE...ALTHOUGH THE ECMWF
SUGGESTS A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE ON MONDAY. WILL INCLUDE A SMALL 20
PCT POP FOR NOW.

AS EXPECTED...TEMPS WILL BE BELOW NORMAL THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND
LIKELY THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. IN FACT...TEMPS ON THE WEEKEND WILL
STRUGGLE TO REACH THE 40S EACH DAY WITH LACK OF SUN AND WIDESPREAD
PCPN.

&&

.MARINE...
ONSHORE WINDS THIS AFTERNOON SHOULD GIVE WAY TO GENERAL LIGHT SWLY
WINDS TONIGHT. THE SW WINDS WILL INCREASE WED BEFORE QUICKLY TURNING
NORTH WED AFTN INTO WED NIGHT BEHIND A RATHER SHARP COLD FRONT.
WINDS AND WAVES WILL APPROACH SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA WED
NIGHT INTO THU...BUT THEY SHOULD START TO SUBSIDE THU AFTN AS THE
HIGH BUILDS IN. NE THEN EASTERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE FRIDAY AS A
STRONG LOW PRES SYSTEM DEVELOPS ACROSS THE PLAINS AND MOVES TOWARD
THE REGION. WILL NEED TO WATCH FOR GUSTS OF 20-30KT THIS
WEEKEND...ESPECIALLY IN THE STRAITS REGION WITH THE EASTERLY FLOW.

&&

.AVIATION.../ISSUED AT 120 AM/...VALID FOR 06Z TAFS

HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE REGION WILL HANG ON FOR ANOTHER DAY, BEFORE
YIELDING TO ANOTHER COLD FRONT. FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS, THE CIGS
AND VSBYS WILL REMAIN VFR. THE CLOUDS AND RAIN SHOWERS WILL GET
INTO THE REGION, BUT WILL BE FAIRLY SCATTERED, SO WILL LEAVE THE
FORECASTS AT THE TAFS DRY WITH MID CLOUDS IN THE EVENING. WINDS
WILL REMAIN LIGHT AND VARIABLE, BECOMING SOUTHERLY DURING THE
AFTERNOON AS THE COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE REGION.
