What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Grand Rapids, MI wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Apr 27, 8:25 PM EDT, 1 hour 5 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 27, 8:25 PM EDT, 1 hour 5 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI
825 PM EDT WED APR 27 2011

LATEST UPDATE...AVIATION...

.SYNOPSIS...(335 PM EDT WED APR 27 2011)
ANOTHER ROUND OF RAINFALL WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT. A
FLOOD ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT DUE TO THE EXPECTED FLOODING OF LOW
LYING AREAS...INCLUDING SOME ROADWAYS.  MANY AREAS WILL SEE
OVER AN INCH OF RAIN. AFTER LIGHTER RAIN THURSDAY AND THURSDAY
NIGHT...FRIDAY IS EXPECTED TO BE CLEAR WITH TEMPERATURES NEAR
NORMAL. BUT WILL BE MUCH LIGHTER.  FINALLY BY FRIDAY...A DRY DAY IS
EXPECTED WITH CLEARING SKIES. A COLD FRONT WILL BRING A CHANCE FOR
RAIN BEGINNING SATURDAY NIGHT AND LASTING THROUGH SUNDAY. THERE WILL
BE A CONTINUED CHANCE FOR RAIN EARLY NEXT WORK WEEK WITH
TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(335 PM EDT WED APR 27 2011)
(TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)
MAIN CONCERNS REVOLVE AROUND HEAVY RAIN AND A CONTINUED FLOODING
THREAT. WE ISSUED AN AREAL FLOOD ADVISORY FOR OUR ENTIRE CWA BASED
ON SMALLER CREEKS AND RIVERS ALREADY AT BANKFULL AND STANDING WATER
IN LOW-LYING AREAS. RAINFALL OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS HAS TOTALED
AROUND 3 INCHES OVER MOST OF THE CWFA
( HTTP://WWW.SRH.NOAA.GOV/RIDGE2/RFC_PRECIP/ ). ADDITIONAL QPF
AMOUNTS OF 0.50 - 1.25 INCHES TONIGHT WILL EXACERBATE THE PROBLEM
WITH POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT ISSUES WITH THE THURSDAY MORNING
COMMUTE.

WILL BE UPDATING THE FLOOD WATCH TO DISTINGUISH THE HEAVIER RAIN
THREAT THAT LIES GENERALLY SOUTHEAST OF A HOLLAND TO MT.
PLEASANT LINE. PLEASE SEE THE HYDROLOGY SECTION FOR MAINSTEM RIVER
CONCERNS.

&&

.LONG TERM...(335 PM EDT WED APR 27 2011)
(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
NOT MUCH CHANGE IN THINKING AS FAR AS THE LONG TERM PORTION OF THE
FCST IS CONCERNED. WE ARE STILL EXPECTING AT LEAST A PORTION OF THE
DAY ON SAT REMAINING DRY AND BEING RELATIVELY WARM. THIS WILL OCCUR
AS A LONG WAVE TROUGH IS SHOWN TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE WRN U.S. AND A
STRONG WAVE WILL BE RIDING THROUGH THE UPPER MIDWEST. STRONG SRLY
FLOW AHEAD OF THE SFC SYSTEM WILL ADVECT WARM TEMPERATURES INTO THE
AREA. EVENTUALLY A CHC OF RAIN WILL DEVELOP LATE ON SAT...AND
ESPECIALLY SAT NIGHT AS THE COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE AREA.

THE MODELS CONTINUE TO DIFFER ON HOW FAST TO PUSH THE FRONT
THROUGH...AND WHO WILL SEE ADDITIONAL RAINFALL WITH AN ADDITIONAL
WAVE MOVING ALONG THE FRONT ON SUN/SUN NIGHT. THE GFS CONTINUES TO
PUSH IT THROUGH QUICKLY WITH A MORE PROGRESSIVE FLOW...WHERE THE
ECMWF STALLS THE FRONT OVERHEAD AND BRINGS MORE PCPN TO THE AREA. WE
ARE FOLLOWING THE WETTER SOLUTION AS THE ECMWF HAS BEEN CONSISTENT
WITH THIS SOLUTION...IT HAS HANDLED THIS WET PATTERN QUITE WELL FOR
THE LAST WEEK...AND WE BELIEVE THE STRONG PACIFIC JET WILL HELP TO
BUCKLE THE JET A BIT MORE.

THE DEEP MOISTURE WILL MOVE OUT SUN NIGHT...TAKING WITH IT THE HEAVY
RAIN POTENTIAL. UPPER CYCLONIC FLOW WILL REMAIN IN THE AREA THROUGH
AT LEAST MON...BRINGING COOL CONDITIONS ALONG WITH SOME DIURNAL
SHOWERS.

THE MODELS ALSO DIFFER ON HOW QUICK TO MOVE THE UPPER SYSTEM OUT OF
THE AREA FOR THE TUE/WED PERIOD. WE WILL SEE RIDGING BUILDING IN AT
SOME POINT CUTTING OFF THE THREAT FOR SHOWERS. THE GFS IS LIKELY TOO
QUICK IN TAKING IT OUT SUN NIGHT...AND THE 00Z ECMWF LOOKS TO BE
CLOSING IT OFF TOO MUCH LATE IN THE PERIOD. THE GFS AND ECMWF
ENSEMBLES LOOK TO BE A GOOD COMPROMISE IN ENDING THE THREAT MON
NIGHT AND REMAINING DRY THROUGH WED. TEMPS WILL MODERATE AS THE
UPPER SYSTEM PULLS AWAY.

&&

.AVIATION...(825 PM EDT WED APR 27 2011)
RAIN SHOWERS WILL BE RETURNING THIS EVENING WITH MVFR AND SOME IFR
CEILINGS BY 06Z. THE RAIN WILL CONTINUE INTO THURSDAY MORNING WITH
PATCHY IFR CEILINGS COMING UP TO MVFR AFTER 14Z.

&&

.MARINE...(335 PM EDT WED APR 27 2011)
AFTER THE NEXT AREA OF RAIN MOVES THROUGH OVERNIGHT...WINDS WILL
SHIFT TO THE WEST AND STRENGTHEN THURSDAY. WAVES WILL APPROACH 4
FT...ESPECIALLY BETWEEN GRAND HAVEN AND HOLLAND WHERE THERE IS A
GREATER E-W FETCH ACROSS THE LAKE. A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY MAY BE
REQUIRED FROM THURSDAY AFTERNOON INTO FRIDAY MORNING FOR THIS
GENERAL AREA.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...(335 PM EDT WED APR 27 2011)
A FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT. FIVE RIVER FLOOD WARNINGS HAD BEEN
UPGRADED FROM ADVISORIES TODAY. ADDITIONAL WARNINGS AND ADVISORIES
ARE LIKELY OVER THE NEXT DAY. CLEARLY...THE PRECIPITATION THAT
OCCURS TONIGHT WILL BE CRUCIAL IN DETERMINING THE RESPONSE OF OUR
MAJOR RIVERS. IT IS ALMOST CERTAIN THAT SIGNIFICANT NUISANCE
FLOODING AND MAINSTEM RIVER ISSUES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. PLEASE SEE HTTP://WATER.WEATHER.GOV/AHPS FOR ADDITIONAL
DETAILS.
