NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI
402 AM EST SUN NOV 13 2011

...SOUTHERLY TO SOUTHWESTERLY GALES EXPECTED TODAY AND TONIGHT FOR
PORTIONS OF LAKE HURON AND LAKE ERIE...

.A SURFACE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO SWING THROUGH THE 
REGION THIS EVENING. THIS FEATURE WILL ENHANCE AN ALREADY TIGHT 
PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES REGION. THIS WILL 
LEAD TO BREEZY SOUTHERLY FLOW TODAY OVER AREA WATERWAYS BOTH IN 
ADVANCE AND IMMEDIATELY BEHIND A SURFACE COLD FRONT. THE WARM AIR 
INFILTRATING THE REGION IN COMBINATION WITH SURFACE WATER 
TEMPERATURES THAT ARE NOW A LITTLE COOLER WILL LEAD TO STABLE 
CONDITIONS IN MANY LOCATIONS. THIS LEADS TO A LOW CONFIDENCE MARINE 
FORECAST. HEADLINE DECISIONS FOR TODAY AND TONIGHT WERE LARGELY MADE 
ON THOSE ZONES THAT WILL SEE A LONGER FETCH...SUCH AS THE OPEN LAKE 
ZONES OF SOUTHERN LAKE HURON WHERE A GALE WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED. A 
GALE WARNING HAS ALSO BEEN ISSUED FOR THE MICHIGAN WATERS OF LAKE 
ERIE. THAT DECISION WAS BASED ON OFFSHORE FLOW FROM OHIO SHOULD BE 
STRONGER DUE TO HIGHER MIXING HEIGHTS...SOLIDLY REACHING 35 KNOTS. 
FOR THE REMAINING MARINE ZONES NOT MENTIONED...SOUTHERLY WINDS OF 
25-30 KNOTS CAN BE EXPECTED. WINDSPEEDS SHOULD GET CLOSE ACROSS 
SAGINAW BAY..BUT BEHAVIOR OF OBSERVATIONS THIS MORNING SUGGESTS A 
STABLE REGIME IS ALREADY IN PLACE.

.AVIATION...

//DISCUSSION...

VFR STRATOCU WILL BE EXCHANGED FOR ALTOCU/ALTOSTRATUS FOR A FEW
HOURS DURING THE EVENING. THESE CLOUDS ARE MOVING THROUGH AND
THINNING IN ADVANCE OF A WARM FRONT IN THE PLAINS THAT IS
EXPECTED TO REACH THE GREAT LAKES TONIGHT. THE AIR IS ON THE DRY
SIDE, EVEN SOUTH OF THE FRONT, WHICH IS ONE REASON LOWER CLOUDS
ARE NOT INDICATED IN OBSERVATIONS TOWARD THE MID MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY AT PRESS TIME. THIS IS EXPECTED TO CHANGE DURING THE NIGHT
AS MID 30S SURFACE DEWPOINT MAKES A RUN INTO LOWER MICHIGAN. THE
LATEST MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATE ENOUGH COOLING FOR BOUNDARY LAYER
SATURATION AROUND SUNRISE THAT WILL LIKELY RESULT IN SOME MVFR
STRATUS FOR A FEW HOURS SATURDAY MORNING, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING
THE GRADIENT WIND WILL REMAIN ELEVATED THROUGH THE NIGHT. OUR
AREA WILL THEN BREAK INTO THE WARM SECTOR BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON
WITH VFR CONDITIONS PUNCTUATED BY SOUTHWEST WINDS GUSTING AROUND
20 KNOTS.

//DTW THRESHOLD THREATS...

* MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN A BRIEF PERIOD OF CEILINGS BELOW 5000 FEET
BETWEEN 13 AND 16Z SATURDAY.

.PREV DISCUSSION...ISSUED 341 PM EST FRI NOV 11 2011

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT

A SURFACE RIDGE OVERHEAD THIS AFTERNOON WILL GIVE WAY TO
SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW OVERNIGHT AS LOW PRESSURE PASSES NORTH OF THE
LAKES. THE STRATOCU FIELD ON VISIBLE SATELLITE CONTINUES TO SHOW
MORE BREAKS WHILE ALSO STARTING TO LOSE THE MOISTURE FEED FROM LAKE
MICHIGAN BENEATH SUBSIDENCE AND A WARMING THERMAL PROFILE. HIGH
CLOUDS CONTINUE TO INCREASE AS THE LOW CLOUDS SCATTER DUE TO A
SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH THE NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT. THESE CLOUDS
ARE GENERALLY EXPECTED TO CLEAR OUT BY THIS EVENING WITH JUST A
LITTLE BIT OF HIGH CLOUD LINGERING ACROSS THE NORTHERN COUNTIES FROM
ADDITIONAL UPSTREAM SHORTWAVE ENERGY.

MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOWS INVERSION HEIGHTS DROPPING BELOW 900MB
OVERNIGHT. BOTH MODELS DEPICT LOW DEWPOINT DEPRESSIONS IN THE LOWEST
500 FT AFTER 08Z. HARD TO DETERMINE HOW WIDESPREAD THE STRATUS MIGHT
BE...OR IF IT WAITS TO APPEAR UNTIL WE GET A LITTLE HEATING AND CU
UP FOR A BRIEF PERIOD ON SATURDAY MORNING BEFORE MIXING OUT. MOST
LIKELY AREA TO SEE STRATUS WILL BE THE SAGINAW VALLEY WHICH WILL BE
DOWNWIND OF LAKE MICHIGAN IN WEAKLY CYCLONIC FLOW. WINDS SHOULD HOLD
UP NEAR 5-10 KNOTS OVERNIGHT...LIMITING COOLING AND POTENTIAL FOR
FOG. MIN TEMPERATURES WERE TWEAKED DOWN A DEGREE OR TWO FOR MOST
LOCATIONS INTO THE LOW 30S.

LONG TERM...

MILDER THIS WEEKEND.

COMPACT BUT VERY STRONG PV ANOMALY NEAR VANCOUVER WILL SWING THROUGH
THE NORTHERN ROCKIES SATURDAY AND THROUGH THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES ON
SUNDAY. STRONG SOUTHWEST WARM ADVECTION PATTERN SETTING UP THROUGH
THE WEEKEND FOR SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN...AS LOW LEVEL JET EXCEEDS 50
KNOTS BY SUNDAY. IT WILL BE WINDY SUNDAY...BUT USUALLY TOUGH TO GET
WIND ADVISORY TYPE WIND IN A WARM ADVECTION PATTERN (NOT UNHEARD OF
HOWEVER). IT APPEARS LOW STRATUS WILL DEVELOP UNDERNEATH THE
STRONG INVERSION...AS GFS/NAM BOTH SHOWING SATURATION AT 925
MB...WITH THAT MOISTURE DEPTH EVEN EXTENDING TO 850 MB...THUS AN
ARGUMENT CAN BE MADE FOR AT LEAST DRIZZLE/SPRINKLES WITH THE 285-290
K ISENTROPIC ASSENT/MOISTURE ADVECTION. IN FACT...THE 12Z UKMET
WOULD ARGUE FOR SHOWERS...AND WILL THUS MAINTAIN THE MODERATE CHANCE
POPS. MAXES ARE DIFFICULT...AS THE POTENTIAL IS CERTAINLY THERE FOR
TEMPS TO REACH AND EXCEED 60 DEGREES AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT...BUT
ASSUMING LOW CLOUDS ARRIVE EARLY IN THE DAY AND POSSIBLE LIGHT RAIN
BREAKS OUT...WILL HOLD MAXES IN THE UPPER 50S. WITH EXPECTATIONS OF
FULL SUNSHINE SATURDAY AFTERNOON...WILL PROBABLY HAVE A BETTER
CHANCE TO HIT 60 DEGREES...BASED ON THE 12Z NAMS FORECASTED 925 MB
TEMPS AROUND 10 C...BUT THAT SEEMS A TOUCH HIGH AND DRAMATIC JUMP
OFF THE MORNING LOWS. WILL FAVOR MID TO UPPER 50S.

COLD FRONT WILL SLIP SOUTH OF THE BORDER BY MONDAY MORNING...SETTING
US UP FOR SEASONABLY COOL WEATHER OVER THE UPCOMING WEEK...AS POLAR
JET WILL BE OVERHEAD OR CLOSE BY...WITH TIGHT THICKNESS PACKING
STRUNG ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION. THUS...SOME ROOM FOR ERROR AS
WE GO OUT IN TIME. WITH THE BAROCLINIC ZONE IN PLACE...LOW
CONFIDENCE IN PRECIPITATION CHANCES OVER THE WORK WEEK...DUE TO
OVERALL LIMITED MOISTURE AND FAST MOVING UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES
MAKING TIMING DIFFICULT. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THE CANADIAN MODEL IS
INDICATING THE SOUTHERN BRANCH OF THE JET WILL BE MORE INVOLVED IN
OUR WEATHER AS WELL...POTENTIALLY INDICATING A WETTER TUESDAY PERIOD
AND SNOW SHOWERS ON WEDNESDAY. THE 12Z EUROPEAN IS STRONGER WITH THE
WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE ON MONDAY...WHICH ALLOWS TUESDAY'S SYSTEM TO
JUST MISS US. BLENDED POPS INDICATE JUST SLIGHT CHANCE FOR TUESDAY
AND WEDNESDAY.

MARINE...

SURFACE RIDGE OVER THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES TODAY WILL SHIFT TO THE
EAST COAST OVERNIGHT. THE PASSAGE OF THE RIDGE AXIS WILL ALLOW WINDS
TO BACK TO THE SOUTHWEST AS A BROAD TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE PASSES
NORTH OF THE GREAT LAKES. THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR NEARSHORE
WATERS FROM PORT AUSTIN TO PORT HURON FOR HIGH WAVES HAS BEEN
ALLOWED TO EXPIRE AS THE FLOW TRANSITIONS TO OFFSHORE. MEANWHILE
WINDS WILL BE BREEZY...ESPECIALLY AS SOUTHWEST FLOW CHANNELS THROUGH
THE SAGINAW BAY AND THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR TONIGHT HAS BEEN
EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THE INNER PORTION OF THE BAY.

FLOW WILL REMAIN OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST AS THE NEXT LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM TAKES SHAPE OVER THE PLAINS ON SATURDAY. WARMER AIR ADVECTING
OVER THE LAKES IN ADVANCE OF THIS SYSTEM WILL KEEP WINDS BELOW 15-20
KNOTS THROUGH SATURDAY. A TIGHT SOUTHERLY GRADIENT DEVELOPS BY
SUNDAY AND WINDS ON THE OPEN WATERS OF LAKE HURON MAY APPROACH GALE
FORCE. THE STRENGTH OF THE COLD FRONT LATE SUNDAY REMAINS IN
QUESTION BUT POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR WINDS TO INCREASE FURTHER BEHIND
THE FRONT ON SUNDAY NIGHT.
