AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
1003 PM EDT TUE SEP 18 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 353 PM EDT TUE SEP 18 2012

COOL WEATHER WILL REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE
WORK WEEK. LAKE INDUCED RAIN SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE INTO
TONIGHT...HOWEVER A NARROW RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL QUICKLY
SWEEP OVER THE STATE LATE TONIGHT...BRINGING AN END TO THE LAKE
SHOWERS BY WEDNESDAY MORNING.

A STORM SYSTEM ORGANIZING OVER CENTRAL CANADA...WILL MOVE INTO THE
WESTERN GREAT LAKES WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL BRING ANOTHER ROUND
OF WIDESPREAD RAIN TO NORTHERN MICHIGAN BY LATE WEDNESDAY...WITH
LINGERING SHOWERS AND A REINFORCING SHOT OF COOL AIR COMING INTO THE
REGION FOR THIS WEEKEND.

&&

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1000 PM EDT TUE SEP 18 2012

LIGHT LAKE EFFECT RAIN /GRAUPEL/ SHOWERS CONTINUING ACROSS
PORTIONS OF NORTHERN MICHIGAN WITH NORTHWEST FLOW. AS SURFACE
RIDGE AXIS SLIDES ACROSS THE AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT...LOW LEVEL WINDS
WILL GRADUALLY BACK MORE WEST/SOUTHWEST. THIS WILL FOCUS THE
LINGERING LAKE EFFECT ACTIVITY CLOSER TO THE LAKES AND THE TIP OF
THE MITT.

BIGGER QUESTION FOR THE OVERNIGHT HOURS IS THE FROST ADVISORY.
HAVING SOME DEFINITE CONCERNS THAT LINGERING LIGHT PCPN/LAKE
CLOUDS WILL KEEP SOME AREAS IN THE MID/UPPER 30S AND OUTSIDE OF A
FROST THREAT. WILL PULL BACK THE ADVISORY AWAY FROM THE COASTS ON
BOTH HURON AND MICHIGAN...FOCUSING THE ADVISORY OVER INTERIOR
AREAS OF NORTHERN LOWER. GIVEN THE "INTERTIAL" ASPECT OF LAKE
EFFECT WHICH ALWAYS SEEM TO KEEP THINGS GOING LONGER THAN
EXPECTED...WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF FROST CONCERNS END UP
RELATIVELY LOCALIZED EVEN OVER INTERIOR AREAS.

OTHERWISE...A FEW TWEAKS TO CLOUD COVER AND POPS TO COVER
AFOREMENTIONED SLOWER TRANSITION OF WINDS TO WEST/SOUTHWEST
OVERNIGHT.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 645 PM EDT TUE SEP 18 2012

NORTHWEST FLOW LAKE EFFECT SHOWERS CONTINUING ACROSS THE
AREA...ALTHOUGH BEGINNING TO SEE SIGNS OF WEAKENING OF ACTIVITY
OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS. WINDS WILL SLOWLY DIMINISH THIS EVENING
AND GRADUALLY BACK MORE WESTERLY...WHICH SHOULD FOCUS LINGERING
LAKE EFFECT CLOSER TO THE COAST. LOOKS LIKE THE TRANSITION TO MORE
SOUTHWESTERLY LOW LEVEL WINDS WILL NOT OCCUR UNTIL LATE
TONIGHT...AND HAVE ADJUSTED FORECAST OF SHOWERS/CLOUDS TO ACCOUNT
FOR THIS SLOWER TRANSITION.

WITH WINDS REMAINING LIGHT WEST/NORTHWEST THROUGH THE EARLY
MORNING HOURS...HAVE CONCERNS OF CONTINUING BOUTS OF LAKE CLOUDS
TOWARD THE I-75 CORRIDOR FOR MUCH OF THE NIGHT. ALTHOUGH SOME AREAS
WILL CERTAINLY SEE TEMPS AT OR EVEN SLIGHTLY BELOW FREEZING TONIGHT...LAKE
CLOUDS/MIXING MAY KEEP TEMPS A BIT WARMER THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT
IN SOME LOCALES. WILL BE TAKING A CLOSER LOOK AT THE FROST
ADVISORY FOR THE LATER EVENING UPDATE AND MAY BE TRIMMING SOME
COUNTIES.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 353 PM EDT TUE SEP 18 2012

CURRENTLY, THE 1000-850 MB LAYER WINDS ARE OUT OF THE NORTHWEST
OVER N LOWER AND NORTH OVER E UPPER. THIS IS PRODUCING LAKE EFFECT
RAIN SHOWERS OVER NW LOWER THIS AFTERNOON. THIS WILL BE THE FOCUS
FOR TONIGHT'S FORECAST. THERE IS A SYSTEM COMING DOWN THROUGH THE
FLOW TONIGHT FROM CANADA, AND WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR WEDNESDAY.

TONIGHT, THE FIRST OF THE 500 MB SHORTWAVE TROUGHS HAS DROPPED
INTO N MICHIGAN TODAY AND THE PUSHED THE 0C 850 MB LINE TO AROUND
THE M-55 CORRIDOR. THIS WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT AS THE 500 MB
SYSTEM SLOWLY MOVES OUT OF THE REGION. IN THE 1000-850 MB LAYER,
THE WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BACK TO THE W IN THE EVENING SO BY 06Z
THE FLOW WILL AFFECT MAINLY AREAS NEAR THE TIP OF THE MIT. BY 12Z,
THE WINDS WILL HAVE BACKED TO THE SW WITH THE 850-700 MB LAYER RH
AT 50% OR LESS OVER N LOWER. THE WATER TEMPERATURES ARE STILL
AROUND 19C OR 20C. THIS IS PRODUCING DELTA TS OF 20C, WHICH ARE
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. HOWEVER AS THE WINDS
CONTINUE TO BACK THE FOCUS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE TOWARD THE
STRAITS. AS THAT HAPPENS THE CLOUD COVER (ESPECIALLY WITH THE
LOWER RH IN THE LAYER) WILL DIMINISH, SO AWAY FROM THE LAKE EAST
OF US-131, WOULD EXPECT THAT THE SKY WILL CLEAR OUT. THE WINDS
WILL ALSO DECOUPLE, ESPECIALLY EAST OF I-75. SO TEMPERATURES ARE
EXPECTED TO FALL TO AROUND FREEZING. THERE IS A CHANCE THAT THE
WINDS WILL STAY UP FOR THE AND THE TEMPERATURES WON'T FALL.
HOWEVER, BASED ON THE DRIER AIR TRYING TO MOVE INTO THE REGION AND
THE DECOUPLING WINDS, THINK THAT FROST IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT. SO
HAVE ISSUED THE FROST ADVISORY HEADLINE.

WEDNESDAY...AS THE WINDS ARE NOW SW AND EXPECTED TO BACK TO THE
SOUTH AND THE 850 MB TEMPERATURES ARE WARMING TO +7C BY 00Z, WILL
EXPECT THAT AS THE MOISTURE MOVES IN FROM THE WEST, THAT THE RAIN
SHOWERS WILL RESTART IN C UPPER AS WITH THE WARM FRONT. THIS WILL
MOST LIKELY OCCUR AROUND 18Z OR SO, SO HAVE DRY IN THE MORNING,
AND CHANCE POPS IN THE AFTERNOON. PULLED THE POPS BACK JUST A BIT
IN E UPPER FOR THE AFTERNOON AS THE ECMWF HAS PULLED THE FRONT
BACK A BIT SO THE MAIN RAIN WON'T BE UNTIL CLOSER TO 00Z.

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 353 PM EDT TUE SEP 18 2012

MUCH TALKED ABOUT TRANSITION TO A MUCH COOLER AND ACTIVE WEATHER
REGIME ALREADY UPON US...WITH DEEP WESTERN LAKES CENTERED TROUGH
DOWNSTREAM OF STILL AMPLIFYING NOAM WEST COAST RIDGING. NORTHERN
HEMISPHERIC WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND UPPER LEVEL WIND ANALYSIS
CONFIRMS MULTI-MODEL TRENDS OF LITTLE CHANGE INTO THIS UPCOMING
WEEKEND...WITH AN OVERLY AGITATED NORTHERN PACIFIC AND SEVERAL UPPER
JET CORES EXPECTED TO SIMPLY REINFORCE THE STATUS-QUO. HEALTHY
COMBINATION OF SEVERAL DISTURBANCES ROTATING THROUGH THE LONG-WAVE
TROUGH AND FAVORABLE LAKE ENHANCEMENT PARAMETERS LOOK TO KEEP
THINGS RATHER WET...AND NO DOUBT COOL WITH A DIRECT CONNECTION TO
THE NORTH LANDS OF CANADA. SOME EVIDENCE OF PATTERN RELAXATION
HEADING INTO NEXT WORK WEEK...PERHAPS BRINGING A RETURN TO SOMEWHAT
MORE NORMAL SEPTEMBER WEATHER. FORECAST CONCERNS CENTER ON THE
FORMER...MULTI-PERIOD RAIN AND TEMPERATURE TRENDS.

PERIOD STARTS OUT ON A BUSY NOTE...WITH RATHER POTENT SHORTWAVE AND
ATTENDANT SHOT OF REINFORCING COOL AIR SPREADING THROUGH THE REGION
WEDNESDAY NIGHT. WHILE NOT OVERLY AGGRESSIVE...COULD EVEN SEE A
LITTLE PRE-FRONTAL MOISTURE ENHANCEMENT IN SOUTHWEST FLOW REGIME OFF
LAKE MICHIGAN WITH 850MB TEMPERATURES ONLY WARMING INTO THE MID AND
UPPER SINGLE DIGITS. EITHER WAY...EXPECT A DECENT BAND OF SHOWERS TO
SPREAD WEST/EAST ACROSS NORTHERN MICHIGAN WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS GOOD
FRONTAL CONVERGENCE IS OVERTOPPED BY SLUG OF STRONG MID LEVEL -DIVQ.
COULD EVEN HERE A RUMBLE OF THUNDER OR TWO AS LEADING EDGE OF STEEPER
MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES OVERTOPS THE FRONTAL AXIS...LEADING TO A FEW
HUNDRED JOULES/KG OF ML CAPE. "DRY SLOT" SWEEPS INTO THE REGION
EARLY THURSDAY AND WAVE PIVOTS OFF TO THE EAST...ENDING THE
WIDESPREAD SHOWER THREAT. STILL NEED TO WATCH FOR WSW FLOW SCATTERED
LAKE EFFECT SHOWERS IN FAVORED AREAS INTO THURSDAY NIGHT...ALONG
WITH INTERIOR ISOLATED SHOWERS DURING THE DAY THURSDAY...AS NEXT
COLD SURGE SENDS H85 TEMPERATURES BACK DOWN INTO THE LOW/MID SINGLE
DIGITS.

NOT TO BE OUTDONE...TROUGH REINFORCING SHORTWAVE NUMBER 2 SLATED TO
VISIT THE NORTH WOODS FRIDAY...INVIGORATING ONGOING LAKE PROCESSES
AND BRINGING ITS OWN BOUT OF SHOWERS ALONG WITH IT. AND...HARD TO
BELIEVE...LAKE PROCESSES JUST KEEP RIGHT ON TRUCKIN' BEHIND ITS
DEPARTURE...WITH EARLY PROGS SUGGESTING NORTHWEST TO WEST WINDS
TARGETING THE TRADITIONAL LAKE PRONE AREAS FRIDAY NIGHT. STILL
CANNOT RULE OUT A FEW SHOWERS ELSEWHERE GIVEN COLD OVERHEAD
TEMPERATURES (H5 TEMPS OF AOB -25C). SAME OLD STORY HEADING THROUGH
THE WEEKEND...WITH PERHAPS THE STRONGEST WAVE OF THE LOT SETTING
SIGHTS ON THE REGION LATER SATURDAY INTO SATURDAY NIGHT. NO DOUBT
LAKE ENHANCED SHOWERS TO CONTINUE AS H85 TEMPERATURES TUMBLE TO NEAR
ZERO DEGREE LEVELS ONCE AGAIN RIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...ALTHOUGH
FIGURING EXACT WIND DIRECTION A LOW CONFIDENCE ENDEAVOR AT THIS
TIME. AS MENTIONED EARLIER...PATTERN ATTEMPTS TO RELAX SOME HEADING
INTO NEXT WORK WEEK...WITH PROGS SUGGESTING REBOUNDING HEIGHTS OVER
THE LAKES AND MODERATING TEMPERATURES. SOME CONCERN FOR WAVES
CLIPPING PARTS OF THE AREA ON BACKSIDE OF DEPARTING TROUGH AXIS. WAY
TOO EARLY TO GET TO CUTE ON SPECIFICS...AND WOULD PREFER TO IGNORE
MODEL CONSENSUS BLEND OF SLIGHT SHOWER POTENTIAL ACROSS NORTHEAST
LOWER/EASTERN UPPER BOTH MONDAY AND TUESDAY. PLENTY OF TIME TO WORK
THOSE DETAILS OUT...AND PLENTY OF OTHER CONCERNS TO WORRY ABOUT
UNTIL THEN.

AS FOR THOSE TEMPERATURES...BELOW NORMAL THE NAME OF THE GAME INTO
THIS WEEKEND. THURSDAY TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER/MIDDLE 60S WILL
ONLY FURTHER COOL...WITH HIGHS BY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY LIKELY STUCK
IN THE 50S. ACTIVE REGIME AND LAKE MODIFICATION LOOKS TO KEEP
OVERNIGHT LOWS FROM FALLING TOO MUCH. IN FACT...MAY BE HARD PRESSED
TO EVEN SEE LOWS DIPPING INTO THE 30S DESPITE OVERHEAD COOL AIRMASS.
CURRENT TRENDS SUPPORTS HIGHS REACHING BACK INTO THE 60S TO START
NEXT WORK WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 645 PM EDT TUE SEP 18 2012

LAKE EFFECT RAIN SHOWERS GRADUALLY ENDING THIS EVENING WITH WINDS
DIMINISHING TO LESS THAN 10KTS. AREAS OF MVFR CIGS EARLY...GIVING
WAY TO CLEARING OVERNIGHT. INCREASING HIGH CLOUDS ON WEDNESDAY
WITH BREEZY SOUTHWEST WINDS.

&&

.MARINE...
ISSUED AT 1000 PM EDT TUE SEP 18 2012

WINDS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH OVERNIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES
ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES.   ONCE THE SFC RIDGE MOVES EAST OF US
AROUND 12Z, EXPECT THAT THE SW FLOW WILL STEADILY INCREASE THROUGH
THE DAY AND WITH THE WARM WATER OF LAKE MICHIGAN, AND COASTAL
CONVERGENCE, ALONG NW LOWER MICHIGAN, THE WINDS WILL BEGIN TO GUST
AROUND GALE FORCE FROM MANISTEE TO WAUGOSHANCE PT. THIS IS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE INTO WEDNESDAY EVENING AS THE SFC LOW MOVES
EAST INTO N LAKE SUPERIOR BY 06Z. WINDS WILL THEN VEER NW AND DROP
A BIT, AND GALES WILL END, BUT SMALL CRAFT WILL BE EXPECTED AT LEAST
THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING.
