AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI
735 AM EDT SUN OCT 16 2011

LATEST UPDATE...AVIATION...

.SYNOPSIS...(400 AM EDT SUN OCT 16 2011)
WEAK LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK EASTWARD THROUGH THE LOWER GREAT LAKES
REGION TODAY BRINGING A FEW LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS NEAR TO SOUTH OF
INTERSTATE 96 THIS MORNING. IT WILL BECOME BREEZIER LATER TODAY AND
ONCE AGAIN FOR MONDAY AFTERNOON. COOL WEATHER IS ON TAP FOR THE
GREAT LAKES REGION FOR THE UPCOMING WEEK WITH BREEZY CONDITIONS AND
MORE SHOWERS ON THE WAY FOR MIDWEEK.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(400 AM EDT SUN OCT 15 2011)
KGRR/RGNL RADAR TRENDS EARLY THIS MORNING SHOW LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS
TRACKING EAST ACROSS WESTERN LWR MI. THE SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE TO
DEVELOP THIS MORNING UNTIL DEEPER MOISTURE MOVES EAST OF THE REGION
THIS AFTERNOON. IT WILL TURN BREEZIER THIS AFTN WITH WESTERLY WINDS
OF 15 TO 25 MPH AND GUSTS TO AROUND 30 MPH.

DRY AND COOL WX IS ANTICIPATED TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON. 00Z
NAM/GFS BUFKIT TIME HEIGHT X-SECTIONS OF WIND/MIXING HEIGHTS SHOW
POTENTIAL FOR WESTERLY WIND GUSTS TO POTENTIALLY REACH 30 TO 35
MPH MONDAY AFTERNOON WITH MOSTLY SUNNY CONDITIONS.

WILL MENTION JUST A SLIGHT CHC OF A FEW LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS LATE
MONDAY NIGHT SOUTH FOLLOWED BY CHC POPS FOR RAIN SHOWERS ACROSS OUR
FCST AREA TUESDAY AS DEEPER MOISTURE MOVES IN AND THE UPPER TROF
AXIS AMPLIFIES OVER OUR REGION. FUTURE SHIFTS MAY NEED TO TREND POPS
UPWARD A BIT TUESDAY AS SUGGESTED BY THE 00Z ECMWF GUIDANCE AND 00Z
GFS ENSEMBLE MEANS. THE 00Z OPERATION GFS AND NAM GUIDANCE SEEMS
UNDERDONE WITH QPF/POPS TUESDAY AFTERNOON SINCE THE DEEPENING UPPER
TROF OVER OUR REGION FAVORS A STRONGER/FURTHER NORTHWESTWARD TRACK
OF THE OHIO VALLEY LOW AND ASSOCIATED RAIN SHIELD AS INFERRED BY
THE 00Z ECMWF/GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN.

&&

.LONG TERM...(400 AM EDT SUN OCT 16 2011)
(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)

MY FOCUS REMAINS ON THE STORM THAT COULD IMPACT SOUTHWEST LOWER
MICHIGAN INTO WEDNESDAY WITH RAIN AND STRONG WINDS. AS I HAVE BEEN
WRITING FOR THE LAST FOUR DAYS.... I STILL THINK THIS STORM WILL
HAVE A BIGGER IMPACT HERE IN SOUTHWEST MICHIGAN THAN THE STORM WE
JUST HAD (GIVES US STRONG WINDS AND SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL TUE INTO
WEDNESDAY). EVEN SO I HAVE NOT ADJUSTED THE WX AND POP GRIDS MUCH
YET TO ALLOW THE MODELS TO BETTER PICK THIS TREND UP (REALLY TO
BETTER MATCH OTHER OFFICES ADJACENT TO US).

THE LATEST ECMWF HAS MOVED THE STORM FARTHER WEST ON THE 16/00Z RUN
AND IN FACT GIVES THE ENTIRE CWA RAIN TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT.
THE ENSEMBLES OF THE GFS FROM THE 16/00Z RUN ARE SIGNIFICANTLY
FARTHER WEST WITH THE SYSTEM AND RAINFALL THAN THE OPERATIONAL RUN
(WHICH IS AN OUTLIER )WAS. IT TOO GIVES THE ENTIRE CWA RAIN INTO
TUESDAY NIGHT IN THE DEFORMATION ZONE OF THE SYSTEM. IT IS IMPORTANT
TO POINT OUT THAT PACIFIC SHORTWAVE THAT DIGS STRONGLY SOUTH
SOUTHEAST ONCE IT CROSSES THE ROCKIES... IN THE MONDAY TIME FRAME...
CARVES OUT A VERY DEEP TROUGH AND IN TURN PICKS UP THAT SYSTEM
DEVELOPING CURRENTLY IN THE GULF OF MEXICO. ONCE IT DOES THAT IT
WILL HAVE HUGELY MORE ENERGY TO WORK WITH CAUSING TO BE A
SIGNIFICANTLY STRONGER SYSTEM. TYPICALLY THE MODELS DO NOT HANDEL
THIS SORT OF EVENT WELL. THE STORM WILL MORE THAN LIKELY END UP
BEING SLOWER... DEEPER AND FARTHER WEST. I AM SUGGESTING THIS IS THE
MORE LIKELY OUTCOME THAN OUR CURRENT MODELS WOULD LEAD US TO BELIEVE.

NO MATTER HOW THAT TURNS OUT... BY WEDNESDAY THIS WILL BE A RATHER
DEEP STORM WITH A STRONG CIRCULATION OVER THE ENTIRE GREAT LAKES.
WINDS WILL MOSTLY BE OUT OF THE NORTH AND WE WILL SEE NORTH WIND
LAKE EFFECT WITH INSTABILITY SHOWERS INLAND. WHILE THIS AIR IS
COLDER... IT IS NOT YET COLD ENOUGH FOR SNOW SO I WILL KEEP THIS ALL
RAIN SHOWERS. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD CONTINUE INTO THURSDAY BEFORE THE
SYSTEM STARTS LIFTING OUT OF THE AREA.

THE SYSTEM GETS SHEARED OUT BY LATE IN THE WEEK AS THAT 200 KNOT JET
CORE SYSTEM CROSSES THE CENTRAL PACIFIC AND FORCES THE SYSTEM IN
FRONT OF IT INLAND BY THURSDAY. THAT WILL FORCE SHORTWAVE RIDGING
HERE FOR LATE IN THE WEEK. THAT OF COURSE WILL START A NICE WARMING
TREND FOR FRIDAY AND BEYOND.

&&

.AVIATION...(735 AM EDT SUN OCT 16 2011)
VFR CIGS IN LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS WILL PREVAIL INTO MID MORNING AS THE
AREA OF SHOWERS MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. BY LATE MORNING THE DRY AIR
BEHIND THE UPPER LEVEL WAVE WILL SPREAD IN AND SKIS SHOULD BECOME
NEARLY CLEAR DURING THE AFTERNOON BUT IT WILL BE BREEZY WITH WEST TO
NORTHWEST WINDS OF 15 TO 25 KNOTS. MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES ARE EXPECTED
TONIGHT BUT WINDS SHOULD REMAIN BETWEEN 10 TO 20 KNOTS.

&&

.MARINE...(400 AM EDT SUN OCT 16 2011)
A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH MID MORNING FOR ALL
OUR NEARSHORE ZONES. THE DAY SHIFT WILL LIKELY NEED TO ISSUE A NEW
SCA TO COVER THE PERIOD FROM LATER THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH MONDAY AS
WIND/WAVE ACTION RAMPS BACK UP.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...(400 AM EDT SUN OCT 16 2011)
ANY RAINFALL THIS WEEK WILL BE FAIRLY LIGHT. THEREFORE NO HYDRO
ISSUES ARE ANTICIPATED THIS WEEK.

&&

.GRR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
MI...NONE.
LM...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR THE ENTIRE NEARSHORE THROUGH MID
MORNING TODAY.
