AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
415 PM EDT SAT SEP 22 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 414 PM EDT SAT SEP 22 2012

A DEEP UPPER TROUGH AND COLD AIR ALOFT...WILL GENERATE LAKE INDUCED
RAIN SHOWERS ACROSS NORTHERN MICHIGAN THROUGH THE WEEKEND...AND TO
START THE WORK WEEK.

HOWEVER...HIGH PRESSURE FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS...WILL PUSH INTO THE
WESTERN LAKES TUESDAY NIGHT. THIS PATTERN WILL GENERATE SOME SUN AND
MUCH WARMER TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES...INTO THE
UPPER COMING WEEKEND.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 414 PM EDT SAT SEP 22 2012

LAKE AND HEATING INDUCED SHOWERS PERSIST ACROSS NRN MICHIGAN ON
PREVAILING NW FLOW. CONVECTION THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HAS BEEN MUCH
WEAKER COMPARED TO YESTERDAY AND CERTAINLY COMPARED TO WHATS
HAPPENING DOWNSTATE...THANKS TO COOLER LOW LEVEL TEMPS/REDUCED
MLCAPE VALUES. HAVEN/T HAD ANY CG LIGHTNING STRIKES SINCE THIS
MORNING...BUT STILL VIGOROUS ENOUGH CONVECTION TO GET BRIEF HEAVY
RAINS AND SMALL HAIL.

TONIGHT...INITIALLY...WITH LOSS OF HEATING...ONGOING SHOWERS WILL
TEND TO THIN OUT HEADING INTO THE EVENING HOURS. HOWEVER...LOOKING
UPSTREAM...ONE MORE MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE EVIDENT ON SATELLITE
IMAGERY NOW CROSSING WESTERN LAKE SUPERIOR AND ABOUT TO DROP SE
THROUGH WESTERN UPPER MICHIGAN. THIS FEATURE WILL SWING THROUGH
NRN LOWER MICHIGAN THIS EVENING AND BRING ANOTHER UPTICK IN LAKE
EFFECT RAIN SHOWERS TO THE REGION...PARTICULARLY JUST DOWNWIND OF
THE LAKES. SO...WILL KEEP POPS HIGH THROUGH THIS EVENING FOR THE
USUAL LAKE EFFECT AREAS...TRAILING OFF TO CHANCY POPS ELSEWHERE.
PRECIP COVERAGE WILL TEND TO THIN OUT AGAIN OVERNIGHT ONCE THE
WAVE EXITS THE REGION AND WE MAY SEE SOME SEMBLANCE OF CLEARING
WELL AWAY FROM THE LAKES LATE.

THUNDER...AS MENTIONED ABOVE...HAVEN/T HAD AND CG STRIKES IN SOME
TIME. WILL KEEP THUNDER CHANCES (AND SMALL HAIL) IN THE FORECAST
BUT CONFINED TO AREAS IMMEDIATELY DOWNWIND OF THE LAKES ONLY.

SUNDAY...MID/UPPER TROUGH AXIS FINALLY STARTS TO EXIT THE REGION
WITH GRADUALLY DRYING TAKING PLACE THROUGH THE DAY. BUT STILL
ENOUGH OVER WATER INSTABILITY TO RETAIN HIGH POPS FOR LAKE EFFECT
RAIN SHOWERS THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY...ALTHOUGH PRECIP WILL TEND
TO DIMINISH THROUGH THE DAY.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 414 PM EDT SAT SEP 22 2012

A VERY SLOW TRANSITION TOWARD "WARMER" CONDITIONS IS EXPECTED AS WE
HEAD THROUGH THE LATE WORK WEEK...WITH NO MAJOR WEATHER CONCERNS...
SAVE FOR THE POTENTIAL FOR A FEW FROSTY MORNINGS AFTER WE DEAL WITH
SOME LINGERING LAKE EFFECT. DAILY HIGHS ARE ALSO A BIT OF A
CHALLENGE...WITH SOME UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE DEPTH OF LINGERING
THERMAL TROUGHING ACROSS THE AREA. A LOOK AT THE EXPECTED PATTERN
RIGHT ON INTO EARLY NEXT WEEKEND REVEALS A GRADUAL LOOSENING OF DEEP
UPPER TROUGHING ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES...AS STRONG NORTH ATLANTIC
BLOCKING PATTERN GRADUALLY BREAKS DOWN.

HOWEVER...ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE HAS BEEN STEADFAST THE PAST WEEK IN
DEPICTING THE PERSISTENCE OF A WEAKLY NEGATIVE TO NEUTRAL NAO
REGIME...WITH A BUMP IN THE PNA TOWARD POSITIVE TERRITORY. IN THE
ABSENCE OF ANY STRONGER GLOBAL FORCING (GWO CURRENTLY STUCK IN NO
MANS LAND)...WE WILL LIKELY BE LEFT WITH A GRADUAL DAMPENING OF OUR
CURRENT PATTERN...AS STRONGER UPPER TROUGHING ACROSS ALASKA FORCES A
CONTINUED DOWNSTREAM RIDGE/TROUGH COUPLET INTO AT LEAST MIDWEEK.
THERE ARE SOME HINTS AS WE HEAD INTO LATE WEEK THAT THE EASTWARD
PROGRESSION OF THE ALASKA TROUGH MAY TRY TO SHOVE BETTER RIDGING
INTO THE WESTERN LAKES...BUT DO HAVE SOME CONCERNS THAT THIS TYPE OF
PATTERN MAY ULTIMATELY RESULT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A CLOSED LOW
FEATURE SOMEWHERE NEARBY TOWARD LATER NEXT WEEKEND.

IN THE MEANTIME...WILL LIKELY STILL BE DEALING WITH ONGOING LAKE
EFFECT RAIN SHOWERS INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. BACKING FLOW IN ADVANCE OF
YET ANOTHER SHORTWAVE RELOADING INTO THE MEAN ONTARIO UPPER TROUGH
SHOULD FAVOR THE TIP OF THE MITT COUNTIES DURING THIS TIMEFRAME.
HOWEVER...STRONG DRYING AND WEAKENING LOW LEVEL CYCLONIC FLOW REGIME
WILL PROBABLY HELP TO KEEP THINGS IN CHECK...AND WILL THUS JUST
MAINTAIN GOING CHANCE/SCATTERED WORDING. COULD BE A COLD/FROSTY
MORNING AWAY FROM COASTAL NORTHWEST LOWER WITH A COOL START AND THE
POSSIBILITY FOR CLEARING SKIES WITHIN A FAIRLY WEAK GRADIENT. CLOUDS
ARE OBVIOUSLY THE MAIN PLAYER IN ANY FROST DEVELOPMENT...BUT THE
POTENTIAL IS DEFINITELY THERE.

THE GENERAL THEME OF DIMINISHING LAKE EFFECT WILL CONTINUE INTO
MIDDAY MONDAY...BUT A QUICK INTRUSION OF WARMER AIR ALOFT (H8 TEMPS
CLIMBING TOWARD +8C OR BETTER) QUICKLY SHUTTING THINGS DOWN AFTER
18Z. SHOULD DEFINITELY BE LOOKING AT A WARMER DAY...WITH DRYING DOWN
LOW LIKELY STAVING OFF ANY SIGNIFICANT CLOUD COVER (JUST SOME
CIRRUS) WHILE TIGHTENING GRADIENT PROMOTES GOOD AFTERNOON MIXING.
SHOULD SEE SOME QUITE GUSTY WINDS GIVEN DEEPER MIXING INTO ROBUST
FLOW JUST OFF THE DECK...WITH MOMENTUM TRANSFER PROGS SUPPORTING
SOME GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 30MPH OVER LAND. SHOULD ALSO SEE LOTS OF
GALES ON THE WATERS. PER TRENDS DURING A SIMILAR EVENT A FEW DAYS
AGO...WILL NUDGE HIGHS UP JUST A COUPLE OF DEGREES...GENERALLY
RANGING THROUGH THE LOWER 60S.

AS MENTIONED ABOVE...THE NEXT UPPER TROUGH/COLD FRONT IS SET TO
ARRIVE MONDAY EVENING. NARROW AXIS OF POOLED MOISTURE AHEAD OF THIS
FEATURE AND A DECENT SHOT OF DEEPER UPPER FORCING (BEST OFF TO OUR
EAST) WILL GIVE AT LEAST A CHANCE FOR SOME SHOWERS WITH THE FRONTAL
PASSAGE...WITH PERHAPS THE BETTER CHANCE COMING TUESDAY AFTERNOON
ACROSS NORTHEAST LOWER. PER GUIDANCE TRENDS THE PAST FEW DAYS...A
SLOWER FRONTAL PASSAGE IS NOW EXPECTED...AS DIURNAL INLAND THERMAL
TROUGH DEVELOPMENT LIKELY SLOWS ITS PASSAGE...WHILE LEAD SHORTWAVE
SHEARS OFF INTO ONTARIO. GIVEN POOLED MOISTURE AND BETTER WARMTH
ALONG WITH PROBABLY A LITTLE TURNING OF THE FLOW OFF LAKE HURON
WITHIN A WEAK GRADIENT...CAN FORESEE SOME SHOWER DEVELOPMENT.
HIGHS MAY BE SNEAKY WARM SOUTH OF M-72 WITH SOME 70 DEGREE READINGS
POSSIBLE BRIEFLY...WHILE TEMPS LIKELY STEADY OUT UP NORTH WITH THE
INFLUX OF MUCH COOLER AIR (H8 TEMPS AROUND +2C).

THEREAFTER...NOT A WHOLE LOT GOING ON INTO NEXT SATURDAY AS RATHER
EXPANSIVE LOW LEVEL RIDGING BUILDS THROUGH THE REGION. LINGERING
THERMAL TROUGHING ALOFT INTO THURSDAY SHOULD GIVE US SOME DIURNAL CU
EACH DAY...BUT THE OVERALL AIRMASS IS PROGGED TO BE RATHER DRY...
LIKELY FAVORING NOT MUCH IN THE LAKE EFFECT DEPARTMENT (MAYBE JUST A
BUMP IN CLOUD COVER). PER PATTERN RECOGNITION...STRONGLY PREFER THE
SLOWER ECMWF SOLUTION IN HOLDING COOLER TEMPS ACROSS THE AREA INTO
FRIDAY...AS THESE TYPES OF PATTERNS OFTEN ARE QUITE SLOW TO FULLY
BREAK DOWN. AS SUCH...WILL CONTINUE TO LEAN HEAVILY TOWARD THE ECMWF
MOS NUMBERS (COOLER THAN MEX/CONSENSUS NUMBERS). THIS SET UP SHOULD
PROMOTE SOME CHILLY MORNINGS...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR MANY SPOTS TO
RECEIVE A SOLID FROST OR EVEN FREEZE WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY NIGHTS. NO
REAL PRECIP THREAT INTO AT LEAST FRIDAY...PERHAPS THROUGH NEXT
WEEKEND AS WELL.
