AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI
400 AM EST THU NOV 24 2011

LATEST UPDATE...SYNOPSIS/SHORT AND LONG TERM/MARINE...

.SYNOPSIS...(400 AM EST THU NOV 24 2011)
THANKSGIVING DAY WILL SEE SOME CLOUDS MOVE IN WITH HIGHS IN THE
UPPER 40S. NO RAIN IS EXPECTED UNTIL THE WEEKEND WHEN A COLD FRONT
MOVES THROUGH. RAIN SHOWERS COULD MIX WITH WET SNOW BY SUNDAY NIGHT
AS COLDER AIR MOVES IN BEHIND THE COLD FRONT.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(400 AM EST THU NOV 24 2011)
(TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
FORECAST PROBLEMS IN THE NEAR TERM INCLUDE LOW CLOUDS AND POTENTIAL
IMPACT ON MAX TEMPS TODAY AND TIMING IN THE RAIN ON SATURDAY.
LOWERED MAXES FROM THE LOWER 50S TO UPPER 40S FOR TODAY AS SATELLITE
AND OBS SHOW AREA OF LOW STRATUS MOVING INTO THE WESTERN FORECAST
AREA ATTM. MAX TEMPS WERE HELD TO THE LOWER 40S ACROSS IOWA ON
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON UNDER THESE CLOUDS.

00Z NAM RH PROFILES SHOW INVERSION SLOWLY LOWERING AND SUGGESTS
CLOUDS COULD BREAK UP THIS AFTERNOON...BUT LATEST RUC IS MORE
PESSIMISTIC AND WOULD MEAN A CLOUDY DAY AND MAXES PROBABLY HELD IN
THE MID 40S. STRATUS MAY HANG ON EVEN INTO TONIGHT AND POSSIBLE
FRIDAY MORNING BEFORE INCREASING WINDS AND MIXING SCOUR THEM OUT.

KEPT CHANCE POPS UP NORTH FOR FRIDAY NIGHT AS SOME ISENTROPIC ASCENT
AND MID LEVEL MOISTURE IS AVAILABLE. THE STEADIER RAIN SHOULD
HOLD OFF UNTIL AFTER 12Z SATURDAY AND POSSIBLY UNTIL 00Z SUNDAY IF
THE SLOWER EURO SOLUTION PANS OUT...AS DIGGING SHORTWAVE TROUGH
APPROACHES AND COUPLED JET ALONG WITH DEEP MOISTURE MOVES IN.

&&

.LONG TERM...(400 AM EST THU NOV 24 2011)
(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
THE MID RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW DIFFERENCES IN THE LONG TERM.
THERE IS GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE SYSTEM SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY
NIGHT. HOWEVER... CONFIDENCE IS LOWER FOR THE POTENTIAL
PRECIPITATION WITH A SYSTEM MONDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. IN FACT...
THE ECMWF SHOWS THE WEATHER ASSOCIATED WITH A CUT OFF LOW SWEEPING
BY TO THE SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA. MEANWHILE... THE GFS HAS NO CUTOFF
LOW AND MOVES A WEAK CANADIAN WAVE BY TO THE NORTH. THEREFORE...
CONFIDENCE AND THE POPS ARE LOWER AFTER MONDAY AND SOME PERIODS HAVE
BEEN DRIED OUT. THE PRECIPITATION... IF IT OCCURS... COULD BE
RAIN... SNOW OR A RAIN/SNOW MIX.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE A LITTLE ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THEY
WILL BE AROUND NORMAL NEXT WEEK. NORMAL HIGHS THIS TIME OF YEAR ARE
AROUND 40 DEGREES AND NORMAL LOWS ARE IN THE UPPER 20S.

&&

.AVIATION...(1146 PM EST WED NOV 23 2011)
CERTAINLY A RISK FOR IFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY.
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINS TRAPPED BELOW THE INVERSION LOCATED
ROUGHLY 2K FT OFF THE GROUND.  ANY POCKETS OF CLEAR SKIES HAVE BEEN
FILLING IN WITH FOG AND STRATUS.  IN ADDITION A LARGE AREA OF SUB
MVFR CLOUDS WILL ADVECT IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST BEGINNING AROUND 08Z.
IT IS BECOMING MORE LIKELY THAT THE LOW CLOUDS WILL PERSIST THROUGH
THE MORNING AND PERHAPS INTO THE AFTERNOON.  EXTRA CAUTION IS
ADVISED FOR AVIATORS TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY GIVEN THIS SETUP.
ANOTHER RISK FOR LOW CLOUDS AND FOG EXISTS FOR THURSDAY NIGHT AS
WELL.

&&

.MARINE...(400 AM EST THU NOV 24 2011)
ISSUED A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT AS A
TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL BRING WEST TO SOUTHWEST WINDS
GUSTING TO 25 KNOTS AND WAVES BUILDING ABOVE FOUR FEET.
