.THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL INCREASE MARKEDLY LATE TONIGHT 
INTO TUESDAY AS CONDITIONS RAPIDLY DETERIORATE TO NORTHEASTERLY GALES 
OVER MUCH OF LAKE HURON BY EARLY TUESDAY AFTERNOON. SUSTAINED WINDS 
WILL BE THE STRONGEST OVER CENTRAL LAKE HURON WHERE THE 
NORTHEASTERLY FETCH IS THE GREATEST. THIS PREFERRED REGION OF STRONG 
WINDS WILL EXTEND INTO SAGINAW BAY WHERE FUNNELING WILL FURTHER 
INCREASE WINDS. GUSTS IN THE 35 TO 40 KNOT RANGE WILL BE COMMON FOR 
THE WARNED AREA. HIGHER END GUSTS TO 45 KNOTS CANNOT BE RULED 
OUT...ESPECIALLY FROM CENTRAL LAKE HURON INTO SAGINAW BAY. IN 
ADDITION...MODERATE INSTABILITY MAY BE SUFFICIENT TO PRODUCE A 
COUPLE OF GUSTS TO STORM FORCE ON AN INFREQUENT AND ISOLATED BASIS. 
IN ADDITION...WINDS WILL DRIVE WAVES INTO THE 13 TO 16 FOOT RANGE 
ACROSS MUCH OF LAKE HURON...INCLUDING THE OUTER SAGINAW BAY AND 
ALONG THE THUMB FROM PORT AUSTIN TO HARBOR BEACH. THE NORTHEASTERLY 
FETCH WILL ALSO RESULT IN WAVE HEIGHTS IN EXCESS OF 10 FEET FOR THE 
REMAINING NEARSHORE ZONES. EVEN AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT DECREASES 
ON WEDNESDAY....COLD NORTHWESTERLY FLOW MAY STILL ALLOW FOR GUSTS 
TO REACH LOW END GALE CRITERIA INTO THE AFTERNOON. THE PATTERN WILL 
REMAIN FAIRLY ACTIVE FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.

URGENT - MARINE WEATHER MESSAGE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI
1010 PM EST TUE NOV 29 2011

...CONTINUED STRONG NORTH WINDS TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...

.NORTHEAST GALES WILL CONTINUE OVER MUCH OF LAKE HURON THROUGH 
WEDNESDAY. CURRENT OBSERVATIONS OVER SOUTHERN LAKE HURON ARE SHOWING 
WIND GUSTS ALREADY REACHING UP TO 35 KNOTS AND GUSTS OVER LAKE ST 
CLAIR AND WESTERN LAKE ERIE AROUND 30 KNOTS. WHILE THERE MAY BE A 
BRIEF PERIOD OF MINIMAL GALES OVER LAKE ST CLAIR AND WESTERN LAKE 
ERIE...THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES IN EFFECT WILL LARGELY COVER THE 
SITUATION AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT DECREASES AS THE CENTER OF LOW 
PRESSURE TRACKS ACROSS THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES.

SUSTAINED WINDS WILL BE THE STRONGEST OVER CENTRAL LAKE HURON WHERE 
THE NORTHEASTERLY FETCH IS THE GREATEST. THIS PREFERRED REGION OF 
STRONG WINDS WILL EXTEND INTO SAGINAW BAY WHERE FUNNELING WILL 
FURTHER INCREASE WINDS. GUSTS IN THE 35 TO 40 KNOT RANGE WILL BE 
COMMON FOR THE WARNED AREA WITH THE POTENTIAL TO REACH UP TO 45 
KNOTS OVERNIGHT. THESE GUSTY WINDS WILL ALSO FORCE WAVES ACROSS LAKE 
HURON AND THE NEARSHORE ZONES INTO THE 13 TO 16 FOOT RANGE. EVEN AS 
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT DECREASES ON WEDNESDAY....COLD NORTHWESTERLY 
FLOW WILL STILL ALLOW FOR GUSTS TO REACH GALE CRITERIA.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI
406 PM EST MON NOV 28 2011

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT

MODERATE TO OCCASIONALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL OVERSPREAD THE AREA
FROM SOUTHEAST TO NORTHWEST TONIGHT. ROBUST MOISTURE TRANSPORT IS
WELL UNDERWAY AHEAD OF A DEEPENING LOW OVER THE APPALACHIANS AS SEEN
ON SATELLITE PRODUCTS THIS AFTERNOON. PWAT VALUES WILL EASILY REACH
1"-1.25" BY MIDNIGHT TONIGHT (2+ STD DEVIATION). THE RAIN SHIELD OVER THE
OHIO VALLEY WILL INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY AS THE TROWAL
AIRSTREAM MATURES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS DEEPENING LOW MATURES. AS THE
DEFORMATION ZONE BECOMES INCREASINGLY ORGANIZED...SYSTEM RELATIVE
FGEN PROGS (295K) SUGGEST AN OPTIMAL SUPERPOSITION OF LARGE AND
MESOSCALE FORCING WILL BE IN PLACE ALONG AND SOUTH OF I-69 BY
MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. ASCENT WILL ONLY INCREASE WITH TIME AS A SHORTWAVE
EMBEDDED IN THE WESTERLY FLOW TO OUR NORTH WILL ENCROACH ON THE
AMPLIFYING DOWNSTREAM RIDGE RESULTING IN AN INTENSIFICATION OF THE
UPPER JET NEAR THE HUDSON BAY AND A COINCIDENT STRENGTHENING OF
RIGHT ENTRANCE SUPPORT ACROSS THE ENTIRE CWA LATE TONIGHT. UPPER
TROPOSPHERIC AGEOSTROPHIC WIND VECTORS ACROSS THE JET CORE ARE
PROGGED TO BECOME LARGE IN MAGNITUDE BY EARLY MORNING...WHICH JUST
INCREASES CONFIDENCE THAT RIGHT ENTRANCE SUPPORT WILL BECOME
SIGNIFICANT. A CROSS-SECTION ANALYSIS THROUGH THE TROWAL REGION
SUPPORTS THE IDEA OF PRECIPITATION RATES INCREASING WITH TIME AS A
COUPLED JET/FRONT CIRCULATION DEVELOPS AND STRONG ASCENT REALLY GETS
GOING LATE TONIGHT. NEW RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF AN INCH OR MORE CAN BE
EXPECTED NEAR AND SOUTH OF I-69 THROUGH 12Z WITH LOCALLY HIGHER
AMOUNTS. DRIER AIR AND MESOSCALE FORCING FOR DECENT IN THE LOW
LEVELS SHOULD RESULT IN A FAIRLY PRONOUNCED PRECIP GRADIENT IN THE
VICINITY OF THE SAGINAW VALLEY AS THE EARLY STAGES OF THIS EVENT
TAKE SHAPE OVER THE CWA.

&&

.LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH NEXT MONDAY

MODELS CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE A STRONG AND VERY MOIST STORM LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT WILL IMPACT THE REGION MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH
WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE CENTER OF THE LOW...CURRENTLY OVER TN/KY AND
IS FORECAST TO TRACK NNE OVER LAKE ERIE BY TUESDAY NIGHT. THE SYSTEM
WILL PRODUCE HIGH RAINFALL TOTALS...STRONG WINDS...AND POSSIBLY
ACCUMULATION SNOWFALL FOR MUCH OF SE MI.

STARTING WITH MOISTURE/SNOWFALL...MODELS HAVE CONSISTENTLY BEEN
ADVERTISING THE STORM TO BRING UPWARDS OF 2 INCHES OF PRECIP FOR
ALMOST THE ENTIRE CWA BETWEEN 00Z TUESDAY AND 12Z WEDNESDAY. FAIRLY
CONFIDENT PRECIP TOTALS WILL RANGE FROM 1.5-2.5 INCHES AT THIS
POINT. THOUGH FALLING HEAVY AT TIMES...IT LOOKS TO BE A MORE OF A
STEADY BUT MODERATE RAINFALL FOR MOST OF THE PERIOD MENTIONED.
STRONG WAA PRODUCING A DEEP WARM LAYER TO NEARLY 7KFT WILL KEEP THE
PRECIP ALL RAIN THROUGH THE DAY TUESDAY. THE NE FLOW OFF LAKE HURON
WILL LIKELY LEAD TO SLIGHTLY WARMER TEMPS CLOSER TO THE
SHORELINES...BUT LOOKING AT CURRENT OBS OVER THE LAKE...WATER TEMPS
ARE 45F WITH AIR TEMPS ONLY REACHING 38F...SO NOT SURE NOW FAR
INLAND THE WARM MARINE LAYER INFLUENCE WILL REACH. A TRANSITION TO A
RAIN SNOW MIX WILL OCCUR ON TUESDAY EVENING AS TEMPS DROP DIURNALLY
AND CAA INCREASES ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE SYSTEM. WINDS WILL SHIFT
FROM THE NE TO NW AROUND 06Z WEDNESDAY WHICH SHOULD LEAD TO ALL SNOW
IN FOR THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN CWA VS THE RAIN/SNOW MIX HANGING ON
TO THE SE. HAVE INCREASED SNOWFALL TOTALS SLIGHTLY TO ACCOUNT FOR
THE COOLER AIRMASS ADVERTISED BY ALL THE MODELS. 1-3 INCHES AROUND
THE SAGINAW VALLEY WITH AROUND 1 INCH FOR MOST OTHER LOCATIONS SEEMS
REASONABLE AT THE MOMENT CONSIDERING SOIL TEMPS IN THE LOW 40S...A
VERY WET GROUND AND PONDING OF WATER TO OVERCOME...AND HIGH PRECIP
RATES. ISSUED A FLOOD WATCH FOR ALL OF SE MI DUE TO THE HIGH AMOUNT
OF PRECIP ADVERTISED AND THE SOILS CURRENTLY SATURATED FROM RECENT
RAINFALL.

AS FOR WINDS...THE GFS/NAM/UKMET ALL SHOW A LLJ AROUND 55KTS
DEVELOPING AT 925MB TUESDAY EVENING...MORE SO ACROSS THE NORTHERN
HALF OF THE CWA AND LAKE HURON. BUFKIT SOUNDINGS SHOW MIXING HEIGHTS
UP TO 2KFT WHICH WOULD POTENTIALLY MIX DOWN 50KT WINDS. WILL GO WITH
A GALE WARNING OVER LAKE HURON AND INCREASE WINDS OVER LAND TO
ACCOUNT FOR FUNNELING DOWN SAGINAW BAY. A WIND ADVISORY MAY BE
NEEDED FOR COUNTIES BORDERING LAKE HURON BUT WILL HOLD OFF AND
MONITOR PROGRESS AT THIS POINT.

THURSDAY STARTS OFF DRY WITH A SURFACE HIGH CENTERED OVER THE OHIO
VALLEY. A COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH THE REGION DURING THE
DAY...BUT LITTLE MOISTURE WILL BE AVAILABLE AND JUST CHANCE POPS
HAVE BEEN INSERTED FOR THURSDAY NIGHT. ANOTHER RIDGE WILL BE IN
PLACE FOR SATURDAY...THEN THE UPPER LEVELS TURN CHAOTIC FOR THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS. 500MB HEIGHT FALLS OCCUR LATE SATURDAY...FOLLOWED BY
SEVERAL SHORTWAVES AND PV ANOMALIES. THIS WILL LEAD TO A SMALL
CHANCE FOR LIGHT SNOW EACH DAY STARTING SUNDAY. A LONGWAVE TROUGH
THEN LOOKS TO ENTER THE REGION...PROVIDING A STEEP TEMPERATURE DROP
AND MODERATE PRECIPITATION PAST THE EXTENDED PERIOD.

&&

.MARINE...

THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL INCREASE MARKEDLY LATE TONIGHT
INTO TUESDAY AS CONDITIONS RAPIDLY DETERIORATE TO NORTHEASTERLY GALES
OVER MUCH OF LAKE HURON BY EARLY TUESDAY AFTERNOON. SUSTAINED WINDS
WILL BE THE STRONGEST OVER CENTRAL LAKE HURON WHERE THE
NORTHEASTERLY FETCH IS THE GREATEST. THIS PREFERRED REGION OF STRONG
WINDS WILL EXTEND INTO SAGINAW BAY WHERE FUNNELING WILL FURTHER
INCREASE WINDS. GUSTS IN THE 35 TO 40 KNOT RANGE WILL BE COMMON FOR
THE WARNED AREA. HIGHER END GUSTS TO 45 KNOTS CANNOT BE RULED
OUT...ESPECIALLY FROM CENTRAL LAKE HURON INTO SAGINAW BAY. IN
ADDITION...MODERATE INSTABILITY MAY BE SUFFICIENT TO PRODUCE A
COUPLE OF GUSTS TO STORM FORCE ON AN INFREQUENT AND ISOLATED BASIS.
IN ADDITION...WINDS WILL DRIVE WAVES INTO THE 13 TO 16 FOOT RANGE
ACROSS MUCH OF LAKE HURON...INCLUDING THE OUTER SAGINAW BAY AND
ALONG THE THUMB FROM PORT AUSTIN TO HARBOR BEACH. THE NORTHEASTERLY
FETCH WILL ALSO RESULT IN WAVE HEIGHTS IN EXCESS OF 10 FEET FOR THE
REMAINING NEARSHORE ZONES. EVEN AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT DECREASES
ON WEDNESDAY....COLD NORTHWESTERLY FLOW MAY STILL ALLOW FOR GUSTS
TO REACH LOW END GALE CRITERIA INTO THE AFTERNOON. THE PATTERN WILL
REMAIN FAIRLY ACTIVE FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.

&&

.AVIATION...ISSUED 1104 AM EST MON NOV 28 2011

//DISCUSSION...

MVFR CONDITIONS WILL BE COMMON AND WIDESPREAD FOR THE REMAINDER OF
THE DAYLIGHT HOURS AS STRATUS IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST ACROSS THE
AREA. THIS WILL BE FOLLOWED BY DEEPER MOISTURE AND RAIN SPREADING
NORTHWARD LATER TODAY AS THE LARGE SHIELD OF RAIN OVER THE OHIO
VALLEY LIFTS INTO SE MICHIGAN. CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE TO IFR
OVERNIGHT AS THIS SYSTEM DEEPENS AND RAIN INCREASES IN INTENSITY.
RAIN...MAINLY MODERATE IN INTENSITY...MAY BECOME HEAVY FOR BRIEF
PERIODS RESULTING IN TEMPORARY REDUCTION TO LIFR. WINDS WILL REMAIN
OUT OF THE NORTHEAST BUT WILL INCREASE OVERNIGHT...WITH GUSTS TO 25
KTS POSSIBLE DURING THE DAY ON TUESDAY. HIGHER GUSTS ARE PROBABLE AT
MBS GIVEN THE FAVORABLE LOCATION DOWNSTREAM OF SAGINAW BAY.

//DTW THRESHOLD THREATS...

* HIGH CONFIDENCE CEILINGS WILL REMAIN BELOW 5000 FT THROUGH THE TAF
PERIOD.

* LOW CONFIDENCE THAT VISIBILITY WILL INTERMITTENTLY FALL BELOW
