AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
352 PM EDT THU SEP 27 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 348 PM EDT THU SEP 27 2012

A RATHER QUIET AND DRY PERIOD OF WEATHER IS EXPECTED INTO THE
BEGINNING OF THE UPCOMING WEEKEND...COURTESY OF A SLOW MOVING HIGH
PRESSURE. THE EXCEPTION TO THE DRY WEATHER WILL BE NORTHEASTERN
LOWER...WHO WILL HAVE CHANCES OF RAIN SHOWERS SATURDAY AFTERNOON
THROUGH SUNDAY. THE NEXT CHANCE FOR THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA TO SEE
RAIN WILL BE MONDAY NIGHT AS AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVES INTO
NORTHERN MICHIGAN. WHILE TEMPERATURES WILL NOT STRAY TOO FAR FROM
NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD...THERE IS A GOOD POSSIBILITY FOR FROST
ONCE AGAIN FRIDAY MORNING.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 348 PM EDT THU SEP 27 2012

CURRENTLY, HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE GREAT LAKES WILL ONCE AGAIN SIT
OVER THE REGION AND PROVIDE PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND CHILLY
TEMPERATURES.

TONIGHT...MAIN CONCERN WILL BE THE CLOUD COVER. IF YOU END UP UNDER
IT, THE TEMPERATURES WILL BUST WARM, AND IT IS POSSIBLE THAT IF THE
SKY IS CLEAR, THAT TEMPERATURES WILL BUST COOL. HOWEVER, HEDGE
TOWARD THE COOL SIDE, SO PROBABLY WON'T BUST AS MUCH AS THE WARM
SIDE. MOISTURE IN THE LOWER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE ARE EVIDENT
FROM THE CU PRODUCTION THIS AFTERNOON. AS THE TEMPERATURES COOL THIS
EVENING, THE INVERSION THAT WILL SET UP, WILL TRAP THE MOISTURE AND
PRODUCE SOME STRATUS/STRATOCU, JUST LIKE LAST NIGHT. SO LOOKED AT
THE 850 MB MOISTURE AS THE NAM AND GFS SOUNDINGS OVERNIGHT SHOW THE
MOISTURE TRAPPING INVERSION SHOULD SET UP THERE. THEN OVERNIGHT AS
THE 500 MB SHORTWAVE TROUGH BEGINS TO DROP INTO THE REGION THE HIGH
SPLITS AND THE MOISTURE GETS DRIVEN TOWARD THE SE. SO OVERNIGHT, THE
MOISTURE, AND THUS THE CLOUD COVER LOOKS TO MOVE TO THE SOUTHEAST.
THE CLOUDS AND THE LAKE HURON SHORE LINE SHOULD KEEP THINGS SOMEWHAT
WARM, SO THAT FROM APN TO WEST BRANCH MAY STAY WARM ENOUGH TO AVOID
FROST. THE CLOUD COVER LOOKS LIKE IT WILL REMAIN ALONG THE M-55
CORRIDOR AS WELL, SO HAVE THE TEMPERATURES THERE BETWEEN 32 AND 35,
SO HAVE ONLY OUTLINED A FROST ADVISORY THERE. NORTH OF THIS, INLAND
ALONG I-75, I HAVE OUTLINED A FREEZE WARNING AS THE TEMPERATURES
THERE WILL DROP BELOW 32 AS THE SKY CLEARS OUT. THE ONLY PLACE WHERE
THAT MIGHT NOT WORK IS IN E UPPER AS THE CLOUDS THERE MAY NOT CLEAR
OUT FAST ENOUGH TO DIP BELOW 32F.

FRIDAY...TEMPERATURES THEN WARM QUICKLY ONCE THE SUN POPS UP. ANY
STRATUS WILL BEGIN TO DISSIPATE AND THEN REFORM AS DIURNAL CU, BY
THE AFTERNOON. THE REST OF THE REGION WILL SEE SOME CU, BUT THE
DRIER AIR SHOULD LEAVE MOST OF E UPPER AND N LOWER MOSTLY SUNNY.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 348 PM EDT THU SEP 27 2012

OVERVIEW: FOUR-WAVE LONG WAVE PATTERN IN PLACE AROUND THE NORTHERN
HEMISPHERE TO START THIS PERIOD...WITH LONG WAVE TROUGHS ANCHORED
OVER EASTERN NOAM AND THE GULF OF ALASKA AND STRONG RIDGING THROUGH
THE WESTERN CONUS KEEPING THE GREAT LAKES ON THE COOLER SIDE OF
THINGS. ON THE SMALLER SCALE...SHORT WAVE ENERGY ADVANCING INTO NRN
ONTARIO THIS MORNING. THIS SYSTEM STILL SLATED TO EVENTUALLY EVOLVE
INTO A CUTOFF LOW OVER THE GREAT LAKES THIS WEEKEND. IN THE
EXTENDED...MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE SUGGESTS A WESTWARD RETROGRESSION
TO THE LARGE SCALE PATTERN THROUGH NEXT WEEK WITH RIDGING EDGING
BACK TO THE WEST COAST/EASTERN PACIFIC AND DEEPER TROUGHING
DEVELOPING THROUGH THE MIDWEST/GREAT LAKES.

FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THE WEEKEND: AFOREMENTIONED MID LEVEL SHORT
WAVE FORECAST TO ADVANCE INTO WESTERN QUEBEC BEFORE TAKING A
SOUTHWEST JAUNT DOWN INTO MICHIGAN...SATURDAY AND SATURDAY
NIGHT...THEN PIVOTS EASTWARD ON SUNDAY. THIS PRETTY MUCH PINCHES OFF
BROAD HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES WITH SOME SEMBLANCE OF A
WEAK SFC LOW TRAVERSING DOWN THROUGH THE REGION. SOME NOTABLE TIMING
AND EVOLUTION DIFFERENCES AMONG THE MODELS. GFS IS THE MORE
AGGRESSIVE AND FASTER DIGGING THE WAVE INTO THE STATE...AND A BIT
MORE CLOSED OFF WITH THE UPPER LOW. NAM/ECMWF SOLUTIONS ARE BOTH
SLOWER...NOT ADVANCING THE WAVE THROUGH NRN MICHIGAN UNTIL LATE
SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT...WHILE KICKING THE WAVE OUT A LITTLE
FURTHER SOUTHEAST OF THE REGION SUNDAY.

AT THE END OF THE DAY THESE DIFFERENCES WILL NOT HAVE A BIG
IMPACT ON THE FORECAST AT THIS JUNCTURE. DESPITE THE OMINOUS LOOKING
CLOSED LOW...THIS SYSTEM IS AND WILL REMAIN FAIRLY MOISTURE STARVED.
IN ADDITION...STRONGEST QG-FORCING PRETTY MUCH BYPASSES NRN MICHIGAN
SATURDAY BEFORE RAMPING UP OVER THE OHIO/PENNSYLVANIA REGION SUNDAY.
BUT...WITH COOLER AIR/STEEPER LAPSE RATES ALOFT/LAKE INSTABILITY
BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY UNDER THE UPPER LOW...HARD TO ARGUE AGAINST
AT LEAST A LOW END THREAT FOR BOTH LAKE AND HEATING OF THE DAY
INDUCED SHOWERS...PARTICULARLY OVER NE LOWER MICHIGAN WITH A NE FLOW
OFF THE WATER. GOING WEEKEND FORECAST WILL BE LEFT PRETTY MUCH AS IS
AT THIS TIME WITH JUST SOME MINOR COSMETIC TWEAKS.

MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...LATEST MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE SHOWING
BETTER AGREEMENT IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD COMPARED TO PREVIOUS
RUNS...THAT IS TO SAY 12Z GFS NOW CLOSELY RESEMBLES THE ECMWF. THIS
AT LEAST ADDS A BIT MORE CONFIDENCE TO THE FORECAST. CUTOFF LOW
FEATURE KICKS OUT ACROSS NEW ENGLAND TO START THE WEEK WITH A BRIEF
INTERLUDE OF LOW AMPLITUDE RIDGING ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES. SO A
QUIET/COOL-ISH START ON TAP TO START THE NEXT WORK WEEK. ANOTHER
PIECE OF SHORT WAVE ENERGY DIPS THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES LATE MONDAY
INTO TUESDAY DRAGGING A WEAK SFC COLD FRONT THROUGH THE STATE.
ANOTHER NRN STREAM SYSTEM WITH LIMITED MOISTURE THAT SUPPORTS NO
MORE THAN LOW CHANCY POPS LATE MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY. LOW
AMPLITUDE RIDGING/SFC HIGH PRESSURE FOLLOWS TUESDAY NIGHT INTO
WEDNESDAY (DRY WEATHER). A STRONGER WAVE/SFC LOW CROSSES THE NRN
PLAINS INTO THE NRN LAKES LATER WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY...AGAIN WITH
SOME LOW END RAIN CHANCES TO WRAP UP THE 7-DAY FORECAST. STRONGER SW
FLOW AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM MAY PUSH SOME FAIRLY WARM AIR BACK INTO
THE REGION ESPECIALLY WEDNESDAY WITH HIGHS MAKING A RUN AT THE 70S
FOR SOME AREAS.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1239 PM EDT THU SEP 27 2012

OTHER THAN SOME DIURNAL CU AROUND THE AREA, WHICH ARE VFR
CATEGORY, IF THEY FORM A CIG, THE SKY IS MAINLY CLEAR AS THE HIGH
PRESSURE OVER THE REGION PROVIDES SOME DRY AIR. MAIN CONCERN FOR
THE TAFS, IS THE MOISTURE THAT IS IN THE LOWER LEVELS THAT WILL
GET TRAPPED FOR A TIME BELOW THE INVERSION THAT IS EXPECTED TO SET
UP. AT THIS POINT, IT LOOKS LIKE VFR CIGS, BASED ON THE MODEL
SOUNDINGS. FRIDAY LOOKS MOSTLY SUNNY AGAIN.

&&

.MARINE...
ISSUED AT 348 PM EDT THU SEP 27 2012

TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...FOR TONIGHT, FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT,
WITH THE HIGH OVER THE REGION WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE VARIABLE AT 10
KNOTS OR LESS, AND WAVES AT 2 FEET OR LESS. SATURDAY, A STRONGER
SYSTEM IS LOOKING TO SETTLE OVER THE GREAT LAKES THIS WEEKEND.
THIS MAY RESULT IN A BRIEF PERIOD OF GUSTIER NORTH/NORTHEAST FLOW
ON SATURDAY AND THE POTENTIAL FOR LOW END SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
HEADLINES DURING THAT TIME.

&&
