AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI
1247 PM EST SUN FEB 13 2011

.UPDATE...

SNOW MELT IS OCCURRING IN EARNEST THIS AFTERNOON AS STRONG SOUTHWEST
WINDS...PARTIAL SUNSHINE...COUPLED WITH TEMPERATURES EXCEEDING THE
40 DEGREE MARK IS TAKING ITS TOLL. UPDATE WAS TO RAISE MAXES INTO
THE MID 40S BASED ON CURRENT TRENDS. TODAY IS A GOOD PREVIEW FOR
THE UPCOMING WEEK...BUT OUR WARMUP WILL BE TEMPORARILY INTERRUPTED
TOMORROW AS DYNAMIC SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES
REGION...USHERING IN A SHOT OF COLD AIR. TONIGHT...GOOD PRESSURE
GRADIENT AND SUSTAINED LOW LEVEL WARM ADVECTION (850 MB TEMPS
RISING INTO THE HIGH SINGLE NUMBERS THIS EVENING) SHOULD SUSTAIN
TEMPERATURES ABOVE THE FREEZING MARK THROUGH 12Z. EVEN SO...ANY
FORM OF PRECIPITATION LOOKS HARD TO COME BY...AS LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE REMAINS LIMITED AND WE WILL PROBABLY HAVE HARD TIME
GETTING LOW CLOUDS IN HERE...MUCH LESS PRECIPITATION. IN ANY
EVENT...WILL BE CARRYING A LOW CHANCE OF LIGHT RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS
WITH THE COLD FRONT LATE TONIGHT.

&&

.AVIATION...ISSUED 1145 AM EST SUN FEB 13 2011

FAST MOVING DYNAMIC SYSTEM TO SWING THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES REGION
TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW. STRONG WIND SPEEDS AT THE SURFACE AND JUST OFF THE
DECK WILL PLAGUE SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. SOUTHWEST
WINDS GUSTING BETWEEN 25 AND 30 KNOTS THROUGH THIS EVENING...SHIFTING
TO THE NORTHWEST TOMORROW. IN ADDITION...STRONG LOW LEVEL JET (50
KNOTS) WITHIN 2000 FEET OF THE GROUND AND STEEP LOW LEVEL INVERSION
WILL LEAD TO LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR UNTIL THE LOW LEVEL COLD
ADVECTION KICKS IN OVERNIGHT. ONCE AGAIN...AMOUNT OF LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE AND SUBSEQUENT LOW CEILINGS IS IN QUESTION...AS MODELS
STILL APPEAR TO BEING TOO AGGRESSIVE WITHIN THE WELL MIXED
BOUNDARY LAYER. A LOOK AT OBSERVATIONS ACROSS THE DAKOTAS AND
MONTANA PROVIDES LITTLE CONFIDENCE IN LOW CLOUDS MATERIALIZING.
HOWEVER...WITH GOOD LOW LEVEL COLD ADVECTION COMING OFF OUR GREAT
LAKES...A MVFR STRATUS DECK SEEMS LIKE A GOOD BET TO DEVELOP...WITH
TIMING JUST A BIT UNCERTAIN (LATE TONIGHT/TOMORROW MORNING)...BUT
WOULD SUSPECT ALL SITES TO BE LOCKED IN BY 12Z. WITH THE MVFR
DECK...COULD BE SOME LIGHT SNOW SHOWER/SPRINKLE ACTIVITY AS WELL.

.PREV DISCUSSION...ISSUED 404 AM EST SUN FEB 13 2011

SHORT TERM... TODAY AND TONIGHT

A WARM FRONT WILL PUSH THE REST OF THE WAY TO THE NORTH OF OUR AREA
DURING THE MORNING. STEADY SOUTHWEST WIND IN THE WARM SECTOR OVER SE
MICHIGAN WILL CONTINUE TO BRING MILD AIR INTO THE REGION AND HELP
TEMPERATURES MAKE A RUN AT 40 BY THIS AFTERNOON. SEVERAL LOCATIONS
NEAR THE OHIO BORDER ARE IN THE MID 30S ALREADY AT PRESS TIME, A
SIGN OF HOW MILD THE AIR IS EVEN WHILE MOVING OVER THE SNOW COVERED
GROUND AT NIGHT. THE WILD CARD IS CLOUD COVER. SO FAR, THE BOUNDARY
LAYER IS ON THE DRY SIDE WITH NOT A LOW CLOUD TO BE SEEN ALL THE WAY
WEST INTO IOWA AND SOUTH INTO THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THERE
WILL, HOWEVER, BE A COMPONENT OF THICKENING HIGH CLOUDS DURING THE
DAY AND THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME STRATOCU FORMATION, BUT MODEL DATA
IS WAY OVERDONE ON THE AMOUNT OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IN THAT REGARD.
WITH THIS IN MIND, ONCE THE FRONTAL STRATUS MOVES NORTHWARD OUT OF
THE SAGINAW VALLEY AND THUMB, SUNSHINE ON TOP OF THE MILD AIR MOVING
INTO THE REGION WILL HELP BOOST TEMPERATURES BEFORE THE HIGH CLOUDS
THICKEN AGAIN DURING THE AFTERNOON.

THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IN CENTRAL CANADA WILL MOVE THROUGH THE
NORTHERN GREAT LAKES TONIGHT. THIS SYSTEM WILL SUPPORT AN INCREASE
IN GRADIENT WIND FLOW AND MAINTAIN THE SUPPLY OF MILD AIR FROM THE
SOUTHWEST. THE RESULTING WELL MIXED BOUNDARY LAYER WILL LIKELY KEEP
TEMPERATURES ABOVE THE FREEZING MARK MOST LOCATIONS EVEN IF CLOUD
COVER IS JUST PATCHY. GIVEN HOW MUCH THE MODELS ARE OVERESTIMATING
BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE, IT IS ENTIRELY POSSIBLE THAT LOW CLOUDS
WILL BE ABSENT UNTIL THE PREFRONTAL TROUGH MOVES THROUGH THE REGION
AFTER MIDNIGHT. HOWEVER, SHOULD ANY NOCTURNAL STRATUS DEVELOP, THIS
CLOUD COVER WOULD ONLY HELP WITH MILD TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE
NIGHT.

LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY

ROBUST MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW WILL SHIFT
EAST OF THE AREA BY MONDAY LEAVING SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN IN A REGION OF
MOIST CYCLONIC FLOW. 850MB TEMPS WILL DROP TO AROUND -5C BY MONDAY
AFTERNOON IN THE COOL NORTHWESTERLY FLOW. LATEST 00Z NAM AND GFS
BUFKIT SOUNDINGS SHOW CLOUD TOP TEMPERATURES STAYING JUST ABOVE -10C
OVER MOST OF THE AREA...WHICH MAKES DRIZZLE/FREEZING DRIZZLE A
CONCERN FOR MONDAY. FURTHER COMPLICATING THE FORECAST IS THE FACT
THAT SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY HOVER AT OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE
FREEZING OVER MOST OF THE CWA. FOR NOW...WILL INTRODUCE CHANCE
FREEZING DRIZZLE DURING THE MORNING WITH A CHANGEOVER TO DRIZZLE
EXPECTED BY THE AFTERNOON. WILL KEEP SNOW AS THE DOMINANT PTYPE OVER
THE THUMB AS FORECAST SOUNDINGS SUGGEST COLUMN WILL BE SATURATED
WITH RESPECT TO ICE THROUGH THE -12C LEVEL OVER THAT AREA. OTHER
MAIN STORY FOR MONDAY WILL BE STRONG WIND THANKS TO A HEALTHY
PRESSURE GRADIENT FROM THE DEPARTING LOW.

MID LEVEL RIDGING WILL QUICKLY BUILD INTO THE REGION ON MONDAY NIGHT
WITH ANTICYCLONIC VORTICITY ADVECTION AND ISENTROPIC DESCENT
SHUTTING OFF PRECIP CHANCES. BIG QUESTION FOR THE MONDAY NIGHT
PERIOD WILL BE CLOUD COVER. WITH SURFACE RIDGE AXIS PASSING OVERHEAD
AROUND 12Z TUESDAY...POTENTIAL EXITS FOR GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING IF
CLOUDS SCATTER OUT. NAM BUFKIT SOUNDINGS DO SHOW A HEALTHY INVERSION
IN PLACE WITH PLENTY OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TRAPPED UNDERNEATH TO
SUPPORT STRATUS. HOWEVER...AS IS OFTEN THE CASE IN THESE
SITUATIONS...THINK THE NAM IS OVERDOING THE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE IN
THE BOUNDARY LAYER AND WILL LEAN MORE TOWARD THE DRIER AND COLDER
MAV GUIDANCE. WITH A COLD START AND PLENTY OF SNOW ON THE
GROUND...HIGH TEMPERATURES ON TUESDAY WILL LIKELY STRUGGLE TO GET
MUCH ABOVE FREEZING.

DEEP SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL DEVELOP BY LATE TUESDAY AND PERSIST
THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK WEEK...RESULTING IN THE MUCH ADVERTISED
MODERATION IN TEMPERATURES. QUESTION WILL BE HOW MUCH OF THE WARMING
WILL GO INTO MELTING THE DENSE SNOW PACK IN PLACE ACROSS THE AREA.
SNOW MELT WILL NOT BEGIN IN EARNEST UNTIL LATE WEDNESDAY WHEN 925MB
TEMPS AND SURFACE DEWPOINTS RISE ABOVE FREEZING. AS A RESULT...HIGH
TEMPERATURES ON WEDNESDAY WILL STRUGGLE TO REACH 40. STRONG WARM AND
MOIST AIR ADVECTION WILL CONTINUE THOUGH WITH 925MB TEMPS REACHING
8C BY THURSDAY AND SURFACE DEWPOINTS CLIMBING INTO THE LOW 40S. OF
COURSE...ABUNDANT STRATUS WILL BE IN PLACE GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF
MOISTURE ADVECTION AND THE MELTING SNOW PACK. THIS WILL ACT TO
LIMIT THE DIURNAL RANGE IN TEMPERATURES. FOG DEVELOPMENT ALSO
REMAINS A CONCERN. DRIZZLE/LIGHT RAIN CHANCES WILL DEVELOP ON
WEDNESDAY AND PERSIST THROUGH FRIDAY WITH SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN IN A
REGION OF BROAD AND WEAK ISENTROPIC ASCENT.

LEE CYCLOGENESIS WILL OCCUR LATE THURSDAY AS ENERGY EJECTS OUT OF
THE LONGWAVE TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN CONUS. SURFACE LOW WILL THEN
MOVE INTO THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES BY FRIDAY. THE BEST DEEP LAYER QG
FORCING WILL REMAIN WELL NORTH OF OUR AREA WITH ONLY A FEW LIGHT
RAIN SHOWERS EXPECTED IN THE WARM SECTOR OVER SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN.
AFTER AN EXCEPTIONALLY WARM DAY FRIDAY...TEMPERATURES WILL RETURN TO
MORE SEASONABLE VALUES BY NEXT WEEKEND AS THE LOW DEPARTS AND
NORTHWESTERLY FLOW RETURNS.

MARINE...

A WARM FRONT WILL LIFT GRADUALLY TOWARD THE NORTH SHORE OF LAKE
HURON TODAY AND THEN BECOME STATIONARY THERE AS THE NEXT LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES ALONG IT. THIS SYSTEM WILL MOVE THROUGH LAKE
SUPERIOR TONIGHT TO JUST EAST OF GEORGIAN BAY BY MONDAY MORNING. A
STRONG COLD FRONT WILL FOLLOW THIS SYSTEM AND MOVE SOUTHWARD OVER
LAKE HURON AND LOWER MICHIGAN MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT. A GALE WATCH
IS IN EFFECT FOR THE OPEN WATERS OF LAKE HURON GENERALLY SOUTH OF
PRESQUE ISLE DURING THIS TIME. THIS FRONT WILL BRING A SURGE OF
POLAR AIR BACK INTO THE REGION TEMPORARILY FOLLOWED BY WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE TUESDAY.
