AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
403 AM EDT WED AUG 24 2011

.SYNOPSIS.../ISSUED AT 351 AM/

A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING ACROSS SOUTHERN CANADA...WILL DRAG A
COLD FRONT THROUGH THE STATE TODAY...WHEN COMBINED WITH AN UPPER
LEVEL DISTURBANCE...WILL CONTINUE CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND
POTENTIALLY STRONG THUNDERSTORMS FOR MUCH OF NORTHERN MICHIGAN. ONCE
THE FRONT CLEARS...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD BACK INTO THE REGION ON
THURSDAY...WITH MAINLY FAIR WEATHER EXPECTED FROM THURSDAY...INTO
THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. AFTER ANOTHER WARM DAY
WEDNESDAY...TEMPERATURES WILL BECOME A BIT MORE SEASONAL FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE WEEK.

AJS/LOCKER
&&

.SHORT TERM.../ISSUED AT 351 AM/...TODAY

COMPACT SHORTWAVE WITH AREA OF SHOWERS/TSTMS SLIDING INTO ONTARIO
THIS MORNING LEAVING BEHIND A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS AND AREAS OF
LOWER CLOUDS/LIGHT FOG. UPSTREAM...A SECONDARY SHORTWAVE ALREADY
UNDERGOING AMPLIFICATION AS IT PUSHES EAST WITH AN ASSOCIATED
SURFACE COLD FRONT. CURRENTLY NOT MUCH HAPPENING INVOF SURFACE
FRONT OUTSIDE OF SOME CLOUDS. AS THE FRONT MOVES INTO THE AREA
FROM THE NORTHWEST THIS MORNING...A FEW SHOWERS/ISOLD THUNDER
MAY DEVELOP FROM THE TIP OF THE MITT INTO EASTERN UPPER...CLOSER
TO BETTER FORCING AND MORE FAVORABLE KINEMATICS ASSOCIATED WITH
110KT H3 JET ENERGY. THE MORE INTERESTING WEATHER MAY OCCUR FOR
THE AFTERNOON HOURS AS DIABATIC HEATING/INSTABILITY INTERACTS
WITH FRONTAL BOUNDARY /ESPECIALLY SOUTH AND EAST OF A LINE FROM
APN-HTL/. IMPRESSIVE WIND FIELDS WITH EFFECTIVE SHEAR VALUES OF
40+ KNOTS AND MLCAPES OF 2000-3000 J/KG. THERE MAY NOT BE GREAT
COVERAGE OF STORMS ACROSS THE AREA...BUT IF STORMS DEVELOP THEY
COULD GO SEVERE. ISOLATED SUPERCELLS POSSIBLE WITH A TENDENCY
TOWARD SMALLER BOWING LINE SEGMENTS WITH TIME AS WIND PROFILES
BECOME MORE UNIDIRECTIONAL. ACTIVITY WILL GRADUALLY MOVE TO THE
EAST/SOUTHEAST BY LATE AFTERNOON...FOLLOWING THE BEST
INSTABILITY/FRONTAL FORCING. WARMEST H8 TEMPS WILL BE ACROSS
SOUTHERN MICHIGAN /+23C/...WITH READINGS OF +14C TO +18C OVER
NORTHERN MICHIGAN. BRINGING THESE READINGS DOWN DRY ADIABATICALLY
YIELDS HIGHS TODAY IN THE UPPER 70S TO MID 80S /WARMEST SOUTHEAST/.

JK
&&

.LONG TERM.../ISSUED AT 351 AM/...TONIGHT AND BEYOND

TONIGHT...ADDITIONAL SHORTWAVE ENERGY WILL ROTATE SOUTHWARD ACROSS
THE AREA AS THE CORE OF COLDEST H8 AIR /+9C/ MOVES INTO THE
NORTHERN LAKES.  CLOUDS WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE AREA WITH
APPROACHING SHORTWAVE AND A FEW SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE FROM THE
TIP OF THE MITT INTO EASTERN UPPER CLOSER TO UPPER SUPPORT.  COMBO
OF CLOUDS AND SURFACE DEWPOINTS STUBBORNLY HOLDING IN THE MID/UPPER
50S WILL KEEP LOW TEMPS IN THE RELATIVELY MILD 50S.

THURSDAY/THURSDAY NIGHT...DECREASING CLOUDINESS WITH HIGH PRESSURE
GRADUALLY BUILDING INTO THE WESTERN LAKES.  A BIT MORE AFTERNOON CU
OVER SOUTHEAST PORTIONS OF THE AREA WHERE SURFACE DEWPOINTS WILL
HOLD INTO THE MID/UPPER 50S.  A VERY CHILLY NIGHT THURSDAY NIGHT
WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING OVERHEAD AND EXCELLENT RADIATIONAL
COOLING.  LOWS GENERALLY IN THE 40S...ALTHOUGH A FEW TYPICAL COLDER
LOCATIONS IN THE AUSABLE RIVER VALLY COULD DIP INTO THE UPPER
30S.

REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST...A WARMER DAY ON FRIDAY AS H8 TEMPS BUMP
UP IN ADVANCE OF NEXT COLD FRONT.  THIS NEXT SYSTEM IS MOISTURE
STARVED AND LACKING MUCH IN THE WAY OF UPPER SUPPORT.  NOTHING MORE
THAN LOW POPS WARRANTED OVER NORTHERN PARTS OF THE AREA FRIDAY
NIGHT.   HIGH PRESSURE AND UPPER RIDGING FOR THE WEEKEND...RESULTING
IN SOME VERY COMFORTABLE LATE SUMMER CONDITIONS.  LOTS OF SUNSHINE
EACH DAY WITH HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE 70S AND LOWS IN THE 50S.  ALL
EYES OVER THE WEEKEND WILL DEFINITELY BE ON HURRICANE IRENE...WHICH
COULD BE MAKING A RUN AT SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.

JK
&&

.MARINE.../ISSUED AT 351 AM/

A COLD FRONT WILL SLIDE ACROSS THE AREA TODAY WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS. WINDS WILL GUST NEAR SCA LEVELS OVER PORTIONS
OF THE NEARSHORE WATERS. THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL DEVELOP
TONIGHT...AS THE GRADIENT TIGHTENS WITH COOLER AIR MOVING INTO THE
AREA ON NORTHWEST WINDS. HIGHER END SCA WINDS/WAVES LIKELY ON LAKE
MICHIGAN AND NORTHERN LAKE HURON NEARSHORE WATERS...AS WELL AS
WHITEFISH BAY THROUGH 12Z. ADDITIONAL SCA/S MAY BE NEEDED TONIGHT.
THE GRADIENT WILL GRADUALLY RELAX ON THURSDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE
BEGINS TO BUILD INTO THE AREA AND WINDS SLOWLY DIMINISH.

JK
&&

.AVIATION.../ISSUED AT 104 AM/...VALID FOR 06Z TAFS

THE COMBINATION OF A WARM FRONT AND AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE
WILL BRING SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS TO APN EARLY THIS
MORNING. AFTER THE SHOWERS/STORMS EXIT...A PERIOD OF RESIDUAL MVFR
HAZE/BR LOOKS LIKELY THROUGH DAYBREAK BEFORE VFR CONDITIONS RESUME
AFTER DAYBREAK UNDER SOME SCATTERED CUMULUS.

LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR WILL CONTINUE EARLY THIS MORNING DUE TO A
SOUTHERLY/SOUTHWESTERLY LOW LEVEL JET. GENERALLY EXPECT 35-40KT
WINDS AT 2 KFT THROUGH DAYBREAK.

SOUTHWEST WINDS 12G18KTS DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY...SHIFTING INTO
THE NORTHWEST LATE AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE REGION. THERE
COULD BE A SHOWER IN THE VICINITY OF PLN IN THE MORNING AND
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN APN IN THE AFTERNOON. TVC WILL LIKELY
REMAIN DRY. CLOUDS WILL LINGER INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
