AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
1207 AM EDT SAT APR 30 2011

.SYNOPSIS.../ISSUED AT 405 PM/

HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD INTO NORTHERN MICHIGAN FROM THE
OHIO VALLEY...GENERATING CLEAR SKIES AND SEASONAL TEMPERATURES FOR
TONIGHT AND SATURDAY. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM...WILL MOVE THROUGH
SOUTHERN CANADA...OVER THE WEEKEND. BREEZY SOUTHERLY WINDS AHEAD OF
THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT... WILL PRODUCE A WARM DAY FOR SATURDAY.
AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES OVER NORTHERN MICHIGAN LATE SATURDAY
EVENING...IT WILL BRING INCREASED CLOUDINESS AND A CHANCE FOR
SHOWERS THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY.

LOCKER

&&

.SHORT TERM.../ISSUED AT 930 PM/...OVERNIGHT

HIGH PRESSURE/SUBSIDENCE/DRY AIR THRU THE COLUMN REMAIN IN CONTROL
OF MICHIGAN LATE THIS EVENING...RESULTING IN CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT
WINDS. LARGE TEMP/DWPTS SPREADS COMBINED WITH CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT
WINDS SHOULD RESULT IN A RATHER QUICK DROP IN TEMPS INTO THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. HOWEVER...A LOOK UPSTREAM PER IR SATELLITE SHOWS A
LARGE AREA OF MID/HIGH CLOUDS SPREADING THRU THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY TOWARD MICHIGAN. ALSO...SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT QUICKLY
TIGHTENS LATE TONIGHT BETWEEN THE DEPARTING AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE
AND A DEVELOPING AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE NRN PLAINS.
INCREASING CLOUDS AND STRENGTHENING LOW LEVEL WINDS SHOULD KEEP
OVERNIGHT LOWS FROM REALLY DROPPING OFF THE TABLE (I.E. INTO THE LOW
TO MID 20S). WILL MAKE SOME MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO CLOUD COVER
OVERNIGHT BASED ON LATEST SATELLITE TRENDS...BUT OVERALL FLAVOR OF
THE FORECAST WILL REMAIN UNCHANGED. STILL EXPECT PARTLY TO MOSTLY
CLEAR SKIES FOR THE BALANCE OF THE NIGHT...WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS
COOLING INTO THE UPPER 20S AND LOWER 30S.

&&

.LONG TERM.../ISSUED AT 405 PM/...SATURDAY AND BEYOND

SATURDAY...THE DEEP RIDGING CONTINUES FOR THE MORNING, BUT AS THE
DAY GOES ON, THE 500 MB AND SFC RIDGES WILL MOVE OFF TO THE EAST
BY 00Z. WITH THE SFC LOW MOVING INTO THE BOUNDARY WATERS AREA, THE
GRADIENT IS EXPECTED TO TIGHTEN AND PRODUCE A SE WIND APPROACHING
15 MPH. THE DOWN SLOPING WEST OF AND ALONG US-131 WILL HELP TO
BRING WARMER TEMPERATURES (70-75F) ALONG THE LAKE MICHIGAN. THIS
WILL ALSO DRIVE THE RH DOWN INTO THE 20-25% RANGE NEAR THE AS
WELL. SO THIS HAS PROMPTED THE ISSUANCE OF A FIRE WEATHER WATCH
FOR THE AFTERNOON. ACROSS THE REST OF N LOWER, THE WINDS WILL BE
SIMILAR WITH THE RH AROUND THE MID 20S. HOWEVER, THE TEMPERATURES
AROUND MOST OF THE REGION WILL BE CONTINUE TO BE AROUND THE UPPER
60S.

SATURDAY NIGHT...THE MODELS OVERNIGHT ARE EXPECTING FIRST A WEAK
WARM AIR ADVECTION WING TO MOVE IN AS THE RIDGE CONTINUES TO
RETREAT TO THE EAST. AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH, RAIN SHOWERS
ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH. LOOKS LIKE BASED ON THE MODELS
TIMING, GETTING INTO NW LOWER AND E UPPER AROUND 03Z. THE RAIN
LOOK LIKE THEY WILL CONTINUE AS THE COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE
REGION BY 12Z.

SUNDAY...THE MODELS LOOK LIKE THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE MOVING OUT
OF THE REGION BY 15Z AND THERE WILL BE A BRIEF TIME OF SUNNY
SKIES, BEFORE DIURNAL CLOUDS MOVE INTO THE REGION, FROM THE
TRAILING 850 MB MOISTURE. TEMPERATURES WILL GO ALMOST NOWHERE AS
THE NORTHWEST WINDS WILL BRING IN SOME VERY CHILLY AIR (850 MB
TEMPERATURES FALLING TO AROUND 0C BY 0Z IN NW LOWER). SO
TEMPERATURES TOPPING OUT AT 50F IS EXPECTED.

SUNDAY NIGHT...THE TRAILING 500 MB SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE INTO THE
FORECAST AREA BY 12Z. WITH THE SUN HAVING SET AND THE INSTABILITY
DIMINISHING AS FROM THE SUNSHINE, AM EXPECT THAT EVEN WITH A
LITTLE 850 MB MOISTURE PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES WOULD BE EXPECTED.

MONDAY...MONDAY LOOKS DRY AS THE MODELS WEAKEN THE 500 MB
SHORTWAVE AND THE MOISTURE THINS OUT DURING THE DAY. ALL THE
MODELS SHOW THAT NO PRECIPITATION FALLS, AND WITH THE LOWER CLOUD
COVER EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE REGION BY THE AFTERNOON THAT
INSTABILITY TO KICK OFF SHOWERS WILL BE LESSENED DUE TO THE LACK
OF DIURNAL HEATING. LOOKS LIKE FOR THE NIGHT, THE SYSTEM IN THE SE
PORTION OF THE US, STEALS THE ENERGY AND MOISTURE SO THAT IT WILL
REMAIN DRY OVERNIGHT.

EXTENDED (TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)...TUESDAY, HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
INTO THE FORECAST AREA AND DRIES THINGS OUT. WEDNESDAY, THE DAY
STAYS DRY AS THE SFC RIDGE AXIS MOVES TO THE EAST AND RETURN FLOW
STARTS. AT NIGHT, THE NEXT SYSTEM DROPS IN FROM THE CANADIAN
PRAIRIES AND BRINGS THE CHANCE FOR RAIN. THURSDAY, THE CHANCE FOR
RAIN CONTINUES AS THE SFC LOW AND THE 500 MB LOW PUSHES INTO THE
WESTERN GREAT LAKES. FRIDAY, THE RAIN CONTINUES AS THE LOW SLOWS ITS
PROGRESSION AND IS JUST GETTING INTO LOWER MICHIGAN.

JSL

&&

.MARINE.../ISSUED AT 405 PM/

HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE REGION TONIGHT WILL KEEP THE WINDS VARIABLE
TONIGHT. THE HIGH WILL BEGIN TO MOVE OFF OVERNIGHT ALLOWING THE
GRADIENT TO TIGHTEN IN ADVANCE OF THE NEXT COLD FRONT. THE WINDS
WILL BECOME SOUTHEAST AND INCREASE OVER THE LAKES DURING THE DAY
ON SATURDAY. THERE MAY BE SOME SCA CRITERIA WINDS ALONG THE LAKE
HURON SHORE TO START WITH. BY SATURDAY NIGHT, THE WINDS WILL
INCREASE SO THAT SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS WOULD BE EXPECTED
EVERYWHERE. ONCE THE COLD FRONT GOES THROUGH, THE WINDS WILL VEER
WEST AND CONTINUE WITH SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS THROUGH THE DAY.
