AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
341 PM EDT WED OCT 24 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 331 PM EDT WED OCT 24 2012

A SYSTEM ORGANIZING OVER THE PLAINS...WILL MOVE INTO THE WESTERN
GREAT LAKES TONIGHT...BEFORE ROTATING NORTH INTO ONTARIO AND HUDSON
BAY ON FRIDAY. THIS PATTERN WILL GENERATE MILD TEMPERATURES AND RAIN
SHOWERS...ACROSS NORTHERN MICHIGAN INTO FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

AN AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL DRIFT INTO THE GREAT LAKES SATURDAY...
GENERATING SOME SUN AND NEARLY SEASONAL TEMPERATURES ACROSS NORTHERN
MICHIGAN THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

A TROPICAL SYSTEM CURRENTLY DEVELOPING SOUTH OF FLORIDA...WILL MOVE
UP ALONG THE ATLANTIC COAST NEXT WEEK. THIS SYSTEM WILL GENERATE A
CHANCE OF RAIN SHOWERS...ACROSS THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 331 PM EDT WED OCT 24 2012

UPPER TROF WILL CONTINUE TO DIG THRU THE INTER-MOUNTAIN WEST HELPING
TO LIFT WARM FRONT NORTHWARD THRU THE AREA TONIGHT.  SEVERAL WEAK
SHORTWAVES WILL SLIDE ALONG BOUNDARY...FOCUSED PRIMARILY FROM THE
TIP OF THE MITT INTO EASTERN UPPER.  BEST FORCING WILL REMAIN WEST
OF THE AREA TONIGHT...ALIGNED WITH STRONGER KINEMATICS/SFC
FEATURES.  CONTINUED ISSENTROPIC UPGLIDE ON 300K SFC...ALONG WITH
WEAK PVA ASSOCIATED WITH VORT CENTERS MAY BE SUFFICIENT TO PRODUCE A
FEW SHOWERS FROM THE TIP OF THE MITT INTO EASTERN UPPER.  WILL
REMOVE  THUNDER WORDING FOR TONIGHT...AS LACK OF FORCING AND DEEP
LAYER MOISTURE WILL MOST LIKELY PRECLUDE ANYTHING BUT SHOWERS.  NEXT
BIG QUESTION BECOME STRATUS/FOG RE-DEVELOPMENT.  ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE...PERSISTENT WARM AIR ADVECTION AND WEAK FORCING POINT
TOWARD AT LEAST SOME STRATUS/FOG RE-DEVELOPMENT.  MORE SOUTHERLY
FLOW BEHIND WARM FRONT AND GRADUALLY INCREASING GRADIENT WILL LIKELY
KEEP COVERAGE PATCHIER.  WILL INCLUDE FOG IN THE FORECAST...BUT
CONFINE IN PREDOMINATELY TO COASTAL AREAS IN NORTHERN LOWER WHERE
HIGHER DEWPOINT ADVECTION OVER COOL WATERS AIDS IN MARINE FOG
DEVELOPMENT.  TEMPS QUITE MILD...WITH READINGS IN THE MID 50S TO
AROUND 60.

THURSDAY...ENJOY WHAT MAY BE THE WARMEST DAY FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL
MONTHS.  WARM FRONT CONTINUES TO LIFT INTO LAKE SUPERIOR WITH
NORTHERN MICHIGAN SQUARELY IN THE WARM SECTOR.  THERMAL RIDGE ALMOST
DIRECTLY OVERHEAD WITH 850MB TEMPS OF +13 TO +15C.  WITH GOOD
MECHANICAL MIXING WITH TIGHTENING GRADIENT...WE SHOULD HAVE LITTLE
PROBLEM PUSHING TEMPS INTO THE UPPER 60S TO MID 70S.  IF WE CAN KEEP
LOWER CLOUDS ASSOCIATED WITH APPROACHING COLD FRONT MAINLY WEST OF
THE AREA THROUGH PEAK HEATING /WHICH APPEARS LIKELY/...A FEW RECORD
HIGHS MAY BE JEOPARDY /SEE CLIMATE SECTION BELOW/.  OF COURSE...TO
GET THE WARM READINGS USUALLY REQUIRES SOME WIND THIS TIME OF YEAR
AND THURSDAY WILL BE GUSTY...WITH SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 15 TO 25
MPH...WITH A FEW HIGHER GUSTS POSSIBLE CLOSER TO LAKE MICHIGAN.
WILL HAVE THREAT OF SHOWERS/TSTMS DURING THE MORNING OVER EASTERN
UPPER AND OVER NORTHWEST LOWER BY MID/LATE AFTERNOON. MUCAPES OF
800 J/KG WITH STRENGTHENING NEAR UNIDIRECTIONAL WIND FIELDS...WHICH
COULD HELP ORGANIZE SOME OF THE ACTIVITY INTO LINE SEGMENTS.
SEVERE POTENTIAL APPEARS LIMITED GIVEN MARGINAL INSTABILITY BUT
WIND FIELDS WOULD POINT TOWARD ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND GUSTS BEING
THE PRIMARY THREAT.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 331 PM EDT WED OCT 24 2012

LARGE SCALE ANALYSIS/FORECAST: BROAD UPPER LEVEL TROUGH ENCOMPASSES
MUCH OF WESTERN NORTH AMERICA THIS AFTERNOON...WITH FLAT RIDGING
ACROSS THE EAST.  THIS PATTERN IS FLANKED BY REX BLOCK FEATURES OVER
THE EASTERN ATLANTIC AND CENTRAL PACIFIC...WITH NOW HURRICANE
"SANDY" SPINNING ITS WAY TOWARD JAMAICA AND CUBA.  A COUPLE OF MAIN
PIECES OF JET ENERGY MOVING THROUGH THE MEAN WESTERN TROUGH...ONE
OVER SASKATCHEWAN/MANITOBA AND A SECOND DIGGING TOWARD THE CENTRAL
GREAT BASIN AND SOUTHWESTERN STATES.  THIS LATTER FEATURE WILL BE
THE ONE OF INTEREST OVER THE COMING DAYS AS HEIGHT FALLS SPREAD
ACROSS THE NATION'S MIDSECTION AND INTO THE GREAT LAKES BY THE END
OF THE WEEK.  IN ADDITION...THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE ADVANCING
TROUGH...THE DOWNSTREAM ATLANTIC BLOCKING PATTERN...AND THE
NORTHWARD MOVING "SANDY" WILL BE OF INTEREST AT THE DAWN OF THE NEW
WEEK.  WHAT IMPACT THIS WILL HAVE ON THE UPPER LAKES REMAINS TO BE
SEEN...THOUGH THE TREND HAS BEEN TOWARD MORE OF AN IMPACT RATHER
THAN LESS.

INITIAL FORECAST CONCERN DEALS WITH HEIGHT FALLS AND ASSOCIATED COLD
FRONT THAT WILL CROSS MICHIGAN THURSDAY NIGHT...SLOWED BY FRONTAL
WAVE DEVELOPMENT OVER WISCONSIN THAT LIFTS NORTHWARD ACROSS LAKE
SUPERIOR AND INTO NORTHERN ONTARIO BY FRIDAY MORNING.  MOST OF THE
PRECIPITATION WILL BE POST-FRONTAL WITH WEAKENING FRONTOGENESIS...
AND MUCH OF THE UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT GETTING SHUNTED INTO ONTARIO.
EXPECT A FAIRLY NARROW BAND OF PRECIPITATION...WITH POST FRONTAL
DRYING ALLOWING FOR SOME CLEARING OVERNIGHT FROM THE WEST.  COLD
ADVECTION BEHIND THE FRONT PUSHES 925/850MB TEMPERATURES TOWARD OR
BELOW 0C.  AIR MASS IS PRETTY DRY SO PERHAPS JUST SOME SHALLOW SC IN
WESTERLY FLOW OFF LAKES SUPERIOR/MICHIGAN.  RAIN CHANCES EXPECTED TO
END AS FRONT MOVES INTO LAKE HURON FRIDAY MORNING...WITH SOME EARLY
CLOUDS OVER NORTHEAST LOWER THINNING WITH TIME AS DRY AIR CONTINUES
TO SPREAD EAST WITH TIME.  AFTER THURSDAY'S RECORD THREATENING
HIGHS...BACK TO REALITY FOR FRIDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE 45-55 DEGREE
RANGE.

A SECOND SHORT WAVE TROUGH ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE LONG WAVE TROUGH
FRIDAY NIGHT WILL EMERGE FROM THE MIDWEST AND INTO ILLINOIS/INDIANA
BY SATURDAY MORNING.  CURRENT INDICATIONS ARE THAT A
FRONTOGENETICALLY ENHANCED BAND OF PRECIPITATION WILL DEVELOP AHEAD
OF THIS FEATURE ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES OVERNIGHT...AND LIFT
NORTHWARD EAST OF LOWER MICHIGAN DURING THE DAY SATURDAY.  AS LONG
AS THAT TRACK HOLDS (AND NORTHERN MICHIGAN REMAINS WITHIN DOWNWARD
BRANCH OF SAID FRONTOGENETIC CIRCULATION)...THEN SATURDAY LOOKS
REASONABLY QUIET THOUGH COULD BE CLOSE AND WILL HAVE TO WATCH LATER
FORECAST TRENDS ON THIS IDEA.  LOW LEVEL TEMPERATURES GETTING
GRADUALLY COLDER WILL PROBABLY SET THE STAGE FOR MORE DIURNAL CU/SC
DEVELOPMENT...PROBABLY NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION TO SEE SOME LAKE
INDUCED SPRINKLES/FLURRIES OFF LAKE SUPERIOR EITHER.  COLDER
SATURDAY WITH HIGHS STUCK IN THE 40S.

EXTENDED FORECAST (SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY): CONSENSUS CONTINUES TO
TREND TOWARD THE IDEA OF THE POST-TROPICAL REMNANTS OF "SANDY"
GETTING PULLED TOWARD THE EAST COAST IN THE MONDAY-TUESDAY TIME
FRAME NEXT WEEK...THOUGH THE OPERATIONAL 00Z GFS/GGEM AND 06Z GFS
CONTINUE TO NUDGE THE TROPICAL SYSTEM AWAY FROM LAND.  24/06Z GFS
WAS INTERESTING IN THAT WHILE PUSHING "SANDY" OUT TO SEA...MODEL
SLOWS LEAD SHORT WAVE TROUGH OVER THE MID ATLANTIC ENOUGH TO ALLOW
ADDITIONAL ENERGY TO DIG INTO ITS BACKSIDE AND SPIN UP AN UPPER LOW
OVER THE MID ATLANTIC MONDAY NIGHT...SORT OF THE BEST OF BOTH
WORLDS.  THE EFFECT OF THIS SOLUTION ON THE UPPER LAKES IS SOMEWHAT
SIMILAR TO THAT SHOWN BY THE MORE "TROPICAL" ECMWF (WITHOUT THE
SUB-950MB OF ARMAGEDDON HITTING LONG ISLAND/NEW JERSEY ON
TUESDAY)...WRAPPING MOISTURE BACK INTO MICHIGAN IN THE
TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY TIME FRAME OF NEXT WEEK.  NEW 24/12Z GFS IS NOW
GETTING ON BOARD WITH PULLING A POST-TROPICAL "SANDY" HYBRID INTO
NEW ENGLAND...AND THE GGEM WHICH HAD ALSO BEEN IN THE GFS CAMP NOW
COMING INTO LINE AS WELL.  SO WILL TREND THE FORECAST TOWARD THE
IDEA OF A WETTER TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY TIME FRAME (AND WINDIER
WEDNESDAY)...WITH A MIX OF PRECIP TYPES FOR NOW THOUGH WILL LEAN
TOWARD ALL SNOW ACROSS THE INTERIOR TUESDAY NIGHT WITH WHAT WOULD BE
THE FIRST WIDESPREAD ACCUMULATING SNOWS OF THE SEASON.
UNFORTUNATELY AT THIS POINT NOT SHAPING UP TO BE A NICE HALLOWEEN
NIGHT TRICK-OR-TREATING.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1253 PM EDT WED OCT 24 2012

MVFR CIGS AT KMBL AND KTVC THIS AFTERNOON...POSSIBLY IMPROVING TO
VFR AS A WARM FRONT LIFTS ACROSS THE AREA. EXPECT PLN AND APN
TO REMAIN NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT UNTIL EARLY THURSDAY MORNING...SO
SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT TO MVFR THIS AFTERNOON...MAY DETERIORATE BACK
TO IFR OR LOWER IN FOG THIS EVENING. E/SE WINDS AT AROUND 10 KTS
WILL PERSIST THRU THE FORECAST PERIOD...BUT WILL BEGIN TO SHIFT TO
THE SOUTH BY EARLY THIS EVENING AS THE WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH. VFR
CONDITIONS DEVELOPING ON THURSDAY MORNING WITH GUSTY SOUTH WINDS
INCREASING TO 15 TO 25 KNOTS.

.MARINE...
ISSUED AT 331 PM EDT WED OCT 24 2012

WINDS WILL INCREASE AND SHIFT SOUTHERLY LATE TONIGHT INTO THE DAY
ON THURSDAY AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. WIDESPREAD SMALL
CRAFT CONDITIONS EXPECTED WITH SOME LOW END GALE GUSTS POSSIBLE
OVER NORTHERN LAKE MICHIGAN ON THURSDAY. WINDS QUICKLY SHIFT
NORTHWEST BEHIND THE COLD FRONT THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY...WITH
MUCH COOLER CONDITIONS OVERSPREADING THE LAKES BY THE UPCOMING
WEEKEND.

.CLIMATE...
ISSUED AT 331 PM EDT WED OCT 24 2012
