AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
437 PM EDT WED JUN 8 2011

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT AND THU/...

STRONG SHEAR AND DRYING HAS WORKED TO LIMIT MORE WIDESPREAD
CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT TODAY OVER THE FCST AREA. HOWEVER...STORMS
HAVE BEEN FIRING OVER THE E HALF OF UPPER MI BEHIND LAKE SUPERIOR
LAKE BREEZE AND IN PARTICULAR WHERE IT HAS UNDERCUT LAKE MICHIGAN
LAKE BREEZE. PER LATEST SPC MESOANALYSIS...MUCAPE OVER THE E IS
AROUND 2K J/KG. INSTABILITY COMBINED WITH DEEP LAYER SHEAR AROUND
60KT IS LEADING TO SVR STORMS OVER THE E WITH HAIL THE MAIN SVR
ELEMENT SO FAR. STORMS SHOULD CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT FEW HRS MAINLY E
OF A MUNISING/MANISTIQUE LINE. ISOLATED STORMS COULD DEVELOP FARTHER
SW TO KESC/KMNM...BUT POTENTIAL THERE IS MORE LIMITED. OTHERWISE...
FOCUS TURNS TO INCOMING CHILLY AIRMASS. SOME SNOW WAS REPORTED THIS
AFTN AT PICKLE LAKE ONTARIO TO GIVE AN IDEA OF HOW COLD THE AIRMASS
IS. WITH COLDER AIR SWEEPING INTO THE AREA TONIGHT...TEMPS BY
SUNRISE WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE 40-45F RANGE. EXTENSIVE FOG IS
EVIDENT ON CURRENT VIS SATELLITE IMAGERY OVER CNTRL LAKE
SUPERIOR...AND THE FOG IS SPREADING SE. AS WINDS BECOME NRLY AND
STRENGTHEN...FOG/STRATUS WILL BE FORCED INTO MUCH OF NRN UPPER MI
TONIGHT. SHALLOW MOISTURE/UPSLOPE SHOULD BE FAVORABLE FOR SOME
-DZ...ESPECIALLY WHERE UPSLOPE IS MAXIMIZED.

STRONG DRYING TREND THU MORNING WILL LEAD TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES
ACROSS THE AREA BY AFTN IF NOT SOONER. CHILLY AIRMASS AND FLOW
ACROSS THE LAKE WITH MESO HIGH SETTING UP OVER NRN LAKE SUPERIOR IN
THE AFTN SHOULD RESULT IN TEMPS STAYING IN THE 40S ALONG THE LAKE
SUPERIOR SHORE. WELL INLAND FROM LAKE SUPERIOR...TEMPS SHOULD TOP
OUT IN THE LWR 60S.

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

WE WILL BEGIN THURSDAY NIGHT WITH THE 500MB RIDGE SLOWLY BUILDING
OVERHEAD. THE RIDGE WILL STRETCH FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO THROUGH THE
UPPER GREAT LAKES AND ONTARIO FRIDAY MORNING...BEFORE THE APPROACH
OF THE NEXT SYSTEM.

DECREASED DEW POINTS A BIT MORE EAST WITH THE DRY HUDSON BAY HIGH
STILL IN CONTROL THERE...WHICH WOULD GIVE RH VALUES OF AROUND 30
PERCENT EAST OF A LINE FROM MUNISING TO ISQ.

AT 00Z SATURDAY THE 500MB LOW CURRENTLY WRAPPED UP ACROSS THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST WILL HAVE MOVED TO ND. MODEL WISE THINGS LOOK TO
BE IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE AT THIS POINT...WITH THE 8/00Z CANADIAN
SLIGHTLY SLOWER AND THE 8/06Z NAM APPROX 150 MILES TO THE NW OF THE
CONSENSUS. THIS WILL RESULT IN SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL CONFIDENCE IN
THE FORECAST THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING.

THIS FEATURE WILL TRACK ACROSS WESTERN LAKE SUPERIOR AND SOUTHERN
ONTARIO BY 18Z SATURDAY...WITH THE SFC LOW NEVER QUITE MAKING IT
INTO UPPER MI. AT THIS POINT /EXCLUDING THE NAM WHICH PRODUCES A
MORE NORTHERN WEAKER AND BROADER FEATURE/ THE LOW WILL TRACK FROM
SOUTHERN WI AT DAYBREAK SATURDAY AND ACROSS NORTHERN LOWER MI
SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

THE 500MB LOW WILL EXIT INTO EASTERN ONTARIO SATURDAY AFTERNOON INTO
SATURDAY EVENING. THIS IS WHERE THE MODELS BEGIN TO DEVIATE A BIT
MORE. THE 8/00Z ECMWF...CONTINUING ITS TREND OF BEING ON THE QUICKER
SIDE...IS THE FIRST TO SWING THE 500MB LOW EAST OF THE CWA. THE
CANADIAN WILL BE DISREGARDED FROM SATURDAY AFTERNOON ON.

THE ONGOING FORECAST FOR DRY WEATHER SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY
NIGHT STILL LOOKS REASONABLE...AS THE RIDGE BUILDS BACK IN FROM THE
SFC THROUGH 500MB FOR SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT
ENOUGH DIFFERENCES BY MONDAY MORNING TO RESULT IN NORMAL TO SLIGHTLY
BELOW NORMAL CONFIDENCE IN THE ONGOING FORECAST BEYOND THIS POINT.
THE 8/06Z GFS...INSTEAD OF ALLOWING THE LOW INFLUENCING OUR WEATHER
AT THE START OF THE WEEKEND TO EXIT NE...IT KEEPS IT ACROSS
ONTARIO...UNABLE TO BUDGE WITH THE BLOCKING RIDGE OVER THE NEW
ENGLAND STATES. WILL CONTINUE TO LEAN THE FORECAST TOWARDS THE
ECMWF.

THIS WILL RESULT IN THE NEXT THROUGH MOVING OVER THE FAR WESTERN
STATES FRIDAY TO SLIDE TO THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND CENTRAL CANADA BY
MONDAY MORNING. THE 500MB RIDGE OVER THE UPPER GREAT LAKES WILL
LIKELY SLIDE EASTWARD...WITH A RETURN OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
POSSIBLE MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MAINLY OVER THE WEST HALF. THE
MAIN SYSTEM /SFC LOW OVER THE SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL PLAINS/ WILL
LIKELY TRACK JUST SOUTH OF OUR AREA...BUT WITH THE OPEN GULF WE
SHOULD EXPERIENCE AN INCREASE IN TEMPS AND HUMIDITY FOR TUESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY. OF COURSE TIMING OF THESE SMALLER FEATURES WILL LEAD TO
SEVERAL CHANGES IN THE ONGOING FORECAST BETWEEN NOW AND THEN.
&&

.AVIATION /FOR THE 18Z TAF ISSUANCE/...

COLD FRONT AND LAKE BREEZES WILL BE FOCUS FOR CONVECTION THIS AFTN.
WITH KCMX ALREADY BEHIND FRONT...NO CONVECTION WILL OCCUR THERE. SCT
SHRA/TSRA WILL BE DEVELOPING ACROSS THE CNTRL U.P. OVER THE NEXT FEW
HRS. WITH UNCERTAINTY IN INITIAL COVERAGE OF ACTIVITY...OPTED TO
ONLY INCLUDE CB CLOUD GROUP AT KSAW THIS AFTN. BETTER COVERAGE OF
SHRA/TSRA SEEMS LIKELY TO OCCUR TO THE E AND S OF KSAW. PER VIS
SATELLITE IMAGERY...WIDESPREAD FOG COVERS MUCH OF NRN LAKE SUPERIOR.
AS WINDS VEER NORTHERLY ACROSS THE LAKE THIS AFTN/EVENING...EXPECT
STRATUS TO SPREAD TO KCMX BY 00Z AND TO KSAW SHORTLY THEREAFTER.
WITH LESS IDEAL UPSLOPE WIND DIRECTION AT KCMX...ONLY LOWERED CIGS
TO LOW MVFR. AT KSAW...CIGS WILL FALL TO IFR...POSSIBLY LIFR. ALONG
WITH THE STRATUS...SOME -DZ IS POSSIBLE...BUT VIS SHOULDN'T FALL BLO
VFR. DRIER AIR ARRIVING OVERNIGHT AND THU MORNING WILL SCOUR CLOUDS
OUT WITH A RETURN TO VFR. IMPROVEMENT TO VFR SHOULD OCCUR AT KCMX
SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE AND AT KSAW MID TO LATE MORNING.
&&

.MARINE /FOR THE 4 PM LAKE SUPERIOR FORECAST ISSUANCE/...

AS LOW PRES TROF EXITS LAKE SUPERIOR...NORTHERLY WINDS WILL LIKELY
INCREASE TO 20-30KT OVER PORTIONS OF CNTRL AND ERN LAKE SUPERIOR
TONIGHT. ACROSS THE WRN PORTION OF THE LAKE...15-25KT WINDS WILL
BEGIN TO DIMINISH OVERNIGHT. VIS SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS EXTENSIVE
FOG OVER CNTRL LAKE SUPERIOR. FOG WILL EXPAND S THIS EVENING AS
WINDS BECOME NORTHERLY AND STRENGTHEN. MUCH DRIER AIR ARRIVING
OVERNIGHT WILL THEN WORK TO DISSIPATE FOG FROM N TO S BY SUNRISE.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE AREA THU...RESULTING IN WINDS
FALLING BLO 20KT. THE LIGHTER WINDS SHOULD REMAIN IN PLACE THRU THE
WEEKEND...THOUGH THERE MAY BE A PERIOD OF EASTERLY 15-25KT WINDS
OVER WRN LAKE SUPERIOR FRI AS A LOW PRES SYSTEM MOVES NE TOWARD THE
CNTRL GREAT LAKES.
