AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
119 PM EDT SAT OCT 27 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 330 AM EDT SAT OCT 27 2012

AN AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND UPPER
MIDWEST...WILL BUILD INTO NORTHERN MICHIGAN THIS MORNING...REMAINING
CENTERED OVER THE GREAT LAKES FOR THE WEEKEND. THIS PATTERN WILL
GENERATE SOME SUN AND COOL TEMPERATURES...ACROSS NORTHERN MICHIGAN
INTO MONDAY.

A STORM SYSTEM ORGANIZING EAST OF FLORIDA...WILL TRACK NORTH ALONG
THE ATLANTIC COAST THIS WEEKEND...MOVING ONSHORE NEAR NEW YORK TUESDAY.
MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL BACK INTO THE GREAT
LAKES...AND GENERATE SOME LIGHT PRECIPITATION THROUGH MIDWEEK.

&&

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 119 PM EDT SAT OCT 27 2012

BKN-OVC SKIES REMAIN DOMINANT ACROSS THE CWA...A HYBRID OF LAKE
AND DIURNAL HEATING INDUCED CLOUD COVER. NO PRECIP IMPACTING THE
CWA AT THE MOMENT (AT LEAST NONE ON RADAR OR IN OBS). LAKE PRECIP
ON EASTERN LAKE SUPERIOR IS STILL OFFSHORE AND RATHER UNORGANIZED.
SO AT THIS POINT...NOT CONVINCED IT WILL EVEN IMPACT EASTERN UPPER
MICHIGAN THIS AFTERNOON.

OVERALL...HAVE ALREADY TWEAKED SKY FORECASTS TOWARD THE CLOUDIER
SIDE OF THINGS THIS AFTERNOON. MAY PULL POPS IN EASTERN UPPER
MICHIGAN FOR THIS AFTERNOON IF CURRENT TRENDS PERSIST.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 1006 AM EDT SAT OCT 27 2012

IN THE BIGGER PICTURE...BROAD TROUGHING EXISTS ACROSS THE NRN
PLAINS/GREAT LAKES THIS MORNING WITH A FAIRLY COOL AIRMASS
ENTRENCHED ACROSS THE REGION. YESTERDAYS POTENT COLD FRONT NOW
NEARLY STALLED ALONG THE EAST COAST...THE RESULT OF STRONG
BLOCKING THAT HAS DEVELOPED IN THE ATLANTIC (NEGATIVE NAO SETUP).
HURRICANE SANDY SITTING OFF THE EAST COAST OF FLORIDA DRIFTING
SLOWING N/NE UNDER THE UPPER RIDGING/WEAK STEERING FLOW...FOR
NOW.

HERE IN NORTHERN MICHIGAN...ELONGATED RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE STRETCHES
FROM THE PLAINS INTO THE GREAT LAKES. MAINLY LIGHT NORTHERLY FLOW
ALTHOUGH LOW LEVEL WINDS DO BACK SHARPLY WESTWARD AS YOU HEAD INTO
THE WESTERN U.P. AND WISCONSIN. LAKE CLOUDS REMAIN PROBLEMATIC THIS
MORNING WITH BKN- OVC SKIES OVER A GOOD PART OF THE CWA...SAVE FOR
THE INLAND SOUTH-CENTRAL COUNTIES (GOV...HTL) WELL AWAY FROM THE
LAKES. NO LAKE INDUCED PRECIP IMPACTING THE CWA SO FAR. BUT A
SOMEWHAT ORGANIZED WEST-EAST ORIENTED LAKE BAND HAS DEVELOPED
OFFSHORE IN EASTERN LAKE SUPERIOR WHERE LOW LEVEL FLOW HAS BACKED
WESTERLY.

TODAY...OVERALL QUIET AND COOL. BIGGEST ISSUE IS CLOUD COVER. FORECAST
LOW LEVEL FLOW REMAINS NORTHERLY FOR THE MOST PART...PERHAPS EDGING
TOWARD NNW IN TIME. BUT LAKE CLOUD EVOLUTION WILL BE COMPLICATED
BY DAYTIME HEATING/MIXING OVER LAND WHICH WILL PROBABLY TEND TO
DRAW CLOUD COVER INLAND THIS AFTERNOON AS THE MIXED LAYER STRETCHES
OUT. TRICKY CLOUD FORECAST TO BE SURE...BUT HAVE NUDGED UP INLAND
CLOUD COVER FOR THIS AFTERNOON. HAVE ALSO NUDGED UP CLOUD COVER
FOR TONIGHT FOR PARTS OF NW LOWER MICHIGAN AS NORTHERLY FLOW
FOCUSES LAKE CLOUDS BACK INTO THOSE AREAS.

LAKE INDUCED PRECIP: AFOREMENTIONED LOOSELY ORGANIZED LAKE BAND
OFFSHORE OF THE U.P. MAY ULTIMATELY GET SHOVED BACK INTO PARTS OF
EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN...AS LOW LEVEL FLOW TURNS A BIT NW.
ISOLATED POPS UP THAT WAY LOOK FINE...BUT FORECAST SOUNDINGS
REVEAL A FREEZING LEVEL GREATER THAN 1500 FEET AGL...SUGGESTING
JUST RAIN ONLY. ALSO...PER LATEST KAPX DATA...LAKE BAND COMING OFF NRN
LAKE HURON TRYING TO PRODUCE PRECIP AND I MAY NEED TO ADD A LOW
END POP TO NE LOWER MICHIGAN THROUGH MIDDAY. WILL SEE.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 645 AM EDT SAT OCT 27 2012

LAKE CLOUDS CONTINUE TO HOLD TOUGH ACROSS FAR NORTHWEST LOWER
MICHIGAN THIS MORNING. SATELLITE AND SURFACE OB EVIDENCE OF LAND
BREEZE DEVELOPMENT BEGINNING TO FOCUS CLOUDS CLOSER TO THE COAST.
THIS TREND SHOULD CONTINUE FOR A FEW MORE HOURS...WITH WINDS ONCE
AGAIN BACKING MORE NW LATER THIS MORNING BRINGING CLOUDS BACK
INLAND BEFORE DISSIPATING. ADJUSTMENTS MADE TO CLOUD AND
TEMPERATURE TRENDS. OTHERWISE...GOING FORECAST IN GOOD SHAPE.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 330 AM EDT SAT OCT 27 2012

A QUIET...ALBEIT CHILLY NIGHT ACROSS THE NORTH WOODS...COURTESY OF
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE FOLDING ACROSS THE REGION. MID AND UPPER LEVEL
FLOW PATTERN A TOUCH MORE INTERESTING...WITH BROAD TROUGH EXTENDING
FROM THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST THROUGH THE WESTERN LAKES...UPSTREAM OF
PRONOUNCED RIDGE AXIS RUNNING UP THE EAST COAST INTO THE NORTH
ATLANTIC (A PATTERN THAT MAY HAVE SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS TO THE
EVENTUAL PATH OF HURRICANE SANDY CURRENTLY SPINNING NORTH OF THE
BAHAMAS). DESPITE SURFACE HIGH...OVERNIGHT FORECAST NOT WITHOUT ITS
CHALLENGES...WITH STUBBORN LAKE CLOUDS HOLDING STRONG ACROSS MUCH OF
NORTHWEST LOWER MICHIGAN...TRAPPED BY STRONG 850MB CENTERED
SUBSIDENCE INVERSION AND LIGHT WIND FIELDS. DEVELOPMENT OF LAND
BREEZE HAS KEPT ANY LAKE SUPERIOR INDUCED SNOW SHOWERS WELL OFFSHORE
OF EASTERN UPPER...WITH SIGNIFICANT LACK OF MID LEVEL MOISTURE (SEE
00Z LOCAL SOUNDING) PREVENTING ANY LAKE PRECIP OFF LAKE MICHIGAN.
FORECAST CONCERNS THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY CENTER ON TEMPERATURE AND
CLOUD TRENDS.

OVERALL PATTERN CHANGES LITTLE HEADING INTO TONIGHT AS FLOW REGIME
BECOMES INCREASINGLY BLOCKED BY STRONG NORTH ATLANTIC REX BLOCK AND
HURRICANE "SANDY" INFLUENCES AS IT MOVES SLOWLY NORTH OFF THE
SOUTHEASTERN SEABOARD. UPSTREAM TROUGHING HAS LITTLE CHOICE BUT TO
GRADUALLY TAKE ON A NEGATIVE TILT INTO THE OHIO VALLEY BY SUNDAY
MORNING (AS MENTIONED...THE RESULT OF WHICH HAS SOME SIGNIFICANT
IMPLICATIONS TO THE EVENTUALLY PATH OF "SANDY" EARLY NEXT WEEK...SEE
LONG TERM DISCUSSION BELOW). ABSOLUTE DEARTH OF DEEP LAYER MOISTURE
AND NON-EXISTENT DYNAMICS SHOULD LEAD TO A MAINLY DRY PERIOD RIGHT
THROUGH TONIGHT. LAKE CLOUDS REMAIN THE BIGGEST HEADACHE...WITH FOG
SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWING NORTHWEST LOWER CLOUD DECK IN NO HURRY TO
GO ANYWHERE FAST. NAM-WRF AND GFS BOUNDARY LAYER WIND FIELDS BOTH
SUGGEST DEVELOPMENT OF LAND BREEZE COMPONENT BY MORNING...PERHAPS
PUSHING LAKE CLOUDS CLOSER TO THE COAST. NOT BITING ON THIS JUST
YET...AND TEND TO BELIEVE CLOUDS WILL REMAIN STUBBORN INTO THE
MORNING HOURS AS LIGHT WIND FIELDS AND ABOVE MENTIONED INVERSION
PREVENT MIXING. EVENTUALLY VEERING OF LAKE SUPERIOR WIND FIELDS
LIKELY TO BRING LAKE CLOUDS BACK INTO EASTERN UPPER...WITH PERHAPS
DEEP ENOUGH MOISTURE TO KICK OFF A FEW LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS/FLURRIES
IN THE SNOWBELTS. LAKE HURON CLOUDS POTENTIALLY PIVOTING INTO
NORTHEAST LOWER THIS MORNING A LOW CONFIDENCE ENDEAVOR...AND WILL
CLOSELY MONITOR SATELLITE TRENDS FOR CLOUD ADJUSTMENTS. DIURNAL
TRENDS AND MAINTENANCE OF DRY AIR SHOULD EVENTUALLY SCATTER LAKE
CLOUDS OUT THROUGH THE DAY...ALTHOUGH SOUNDINGS SUGGEST STRATO-CU
DEVELOPMENT AWAY FROM THE BIG WATERS. GUIDANCE NUMBERS PRETTY
SIMILAR WITH TEMPERATURES TODAY...WITH HIGHS MAINLY IN THE MID AND
UPPER 40S. MORE OF THE SAME HEADING INTO TONIGHT...WITH POSSIBLE
REGENERATION OF LAKE CLOUDS NEAR THE LAKE MICHIGAN SHORELINE AS LAKE
BREEZES FORCE DEVELOPMENT OF LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE AXIS. OTHER LAKE
CLOUDS POSSIBLE OVER EASTERN UPPER IN LIGHT NORTHWEST FLOW REGIME.
OTHERWISE...A CLEAR AND COLD NIGHT...WITH WIDESPREAD LOWS IN THE
20S...COLDEST IN THE TYPICAL ICE-BOX LOCATIONS OF INTERIOR NORTHERN
LOWER MICHIGAN.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 330 AM EDT SAT OCT 27 2012

EXTENDED PERIOD SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...WILL BE A TRANSITION PERIOD
FOR THE GREAT LAKES REGION. HIGH PRESSURE WHICH BECAME CENTERED OVER
THE STATE AND UPPER MIDWEST FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...WILL BE THE MAIN
INFLUENCE OVER NRN MI THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON. HOWEVER MONDAY
NIGHT...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE SHOVED WEST OF THE LAKES AS HURRICANE
SANDY RIDES NORTH ALONG THE ATLANTIC. THE BIGGEST QUESTIONS DURING
THE EXTENDED PERIOD...WILL BE THE RATE OF INCREASING MOISTURE INTO
THE ERN LAKES ALONG WITH VERTICAL TEMP PROFILES AND PCPN TYPE.

SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY EVENING...EXPECT PLEASANT CONDS WITH SOME SUN
AS HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATES THIS REGION. HOWEVER LAKE INDUCED
FLURRIES ARE POSSIBLE SUNDAY NEAR WHITEFISH POINT...AS 850MB
DROP TO AROUND -8C ACRS LAKE SUPERIOR GENERATING MARGINAL OVER LAKE
INSTABILITY. AFTN TEMPS WILL BE STAGNATE INTO MONDAY...IN THE MID
40S...AS 850MB TEMPS LINGER AROUND -6C.

TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...CURRENT MODEL RUNS CONT TO SHOW GFS MORE
AGGRESSIVE INCREASING MID LEVEL MSTR (850/500MB) ACRS THE ERN
LAKES MONDAY NIGHT...IN RESPONSE TO SANDY MOVING ONSHORE IN THE MID
ATLANTIC. THE ECMWF HAS BEEN TRENDING 12 TO 18 HRS SLOWER...NOT
INCREASING MID LEVEL MSTR OVER THE ERN LAKES UNTIL AFTER 12Z
TUESDAY...WHICH MAY PROVE THE BETTER TREND AS INVERTED UPPER TROUGH
REMAINS OVER THE STATE. THE STORM SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO WEAKEN AFTER
MOVING ONSHORE TUESDAY NIGHT...AND WOBBLING AROUND THE MID ATLANTIC
STATES THRU THURSDAY BEFORE FINALLY LIFTING INTO QUEBEC FRIDAY.
MODEL SOUNDINGS AND MSTR PROGS SHOWING SUFFICIENT MSTR OVER THE GREAT
LAKES THRU THURSDAY...WITH PWATS ARND 0.75IN AND 850/500MB RH
PROGGED ARND 90 PCT. MUCH DRIER AIR FILTERS IN AT MID LEVELS ACROSS
NRN MI THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY...AS THE STORM SYSTEM WEAKENS AND
EXITS NORTHEAST OF THE REGION. MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW A VERTICAL TEMP
PROFILE SUCH THAT PCPN AT THE ONSET MAY NOT BE ALL RAIN ACRS NRN MI.
TUESDAY...ABOVE FREEZING TEMPS EXTEND FROM THE SFC TO AROUND 900
FEET ACRS THE HIGHER TERRAIN...AND TO AROUND 1400 FEET FOR THE
SHORELINE AREAS. HOWEVER DRY AIR REMAINING IN THE LOW AND MID LVLS
AND THEREFORE EVAP COOLING DURING THE ONSET OF PCPN TUESDAY...COULD
MIX THE RAIN WILL SNOW ESPECIALLY OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN INLAND
FROM THE LAKES. PCPN SHOULD BE ALL RAIN WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...AS
MID LEVEL TEMPS WARM TO AROUND -2C.

THEREFORE CURRENT TREND OF INCREASING PCPN OVER THE ERN LAKES LATE
MONDAY NIGHT STILL IN LINE...WITH INCREASING CHANCES OF PCPN OVER
WRN LAKES AFTER 12Z TUESDAY. WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION PCPN OVER ALL
OF NRN MI WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY BEFORE DIMINISHING FRIDAY. HIGH
TEMPS THROUGH THE PERIOD WILL BE MAINLY IN THE LOW TO MD 40S.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 119 PM EDT SAT OCT 27 2012

BKN-OVC VFR SKIES WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE BALANCE OF THE AFTERNOON
AND HAVE TRENDED TAF FORECASTS TO A MORE PESSIMISTIC SKY FORECAST
ACCORDINGLY. CLOUDS WILL THIN OUT THIS EVENING AWAY FROM THE LAKES
TO A LARGE EXTENT. BUT WITH PERSISTENT NORTHERLY FLOW OFF LAKE
MICHIGAN AND A DECENT AMOUNT OF OVER LAKE INSTABILITY...BKN SKIES
(PERHAPS LOWERING TO MVFR) WILL CONTINUE AT TVC AND MBL. A FEW
LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS/FLURRIES EVEN A POSSIBILITY AT TVC...BUT SHOULD
NOT BE A BIG DEAL.

SUNDAY...STRAIGHT NORTHERLY FLOW AND SLIGHTLY DRIER LOW LEVEL AIR
SHOULD LEAD TO A BIT LESS CLOUD COVER...AT LEAST COMPARED TO
TODAY. LAKE CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT TVC/MBL AND POSSIBLY
APN...ALTHOUGH WITH A THINNING TREND DUE TO DRIER AIR AND DAYTIME
HEATING/MIXING.

WINDS: MAINLY 10 KNOTS OR LESS TODAY AND TONIGHT. PRESSURE
GRADIENT STARTS TO TIGHTEN UP ON SUNDAY...AS HURRICANE SANDY
WORKS UP THE EAST COAST. THIS WILL LEAD TO SOME MODEST NORTH
GUSTINESS (LESS THAN 20 KNOTS) ACROSS NRN LOWER MICHIGAN SUNDAY
LATE MORNING AND AFTERNOON. STRONGEST WINDS FROM THIS SYSTEM DON/T
ARRIVE UNTIL LATE MONDAY INTO TUESDAY.

.MARINE...
ISSUED AT 330 AM EDT SAT OCT 27 2012

OVERHEAD HIGH PRESSURE LOOKS TO BRING HEADLINE FREE
CONDITIONS OVER THE BIG WATERS TODAY...ALTHOUGH WINDS DO BECOME A
TOUCH GUSTY OUT OF THE N-NW THIS AFTERNOON. MAY NEED SCA/S FOR PARTS
OF THE LAKE HURON NEARSHORE WATERS TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY AS THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT BEGINS TO TIGHTEN. EASILY...BIGGEST STORY REMAINS
CENTERED ON THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF RETROGRADING REMNANTS OF
TROPICAL SYSTEM SANDY EARLY NEXT WEEK. STILL SOME SIGNIFICANT
INTENSITY AND TRACK DIFFERENCES AMONGST MID RANGE GUIDANCE...WITH
SOME SUPPORTING A HIGH IMPACT NORTH FLOW WIND EVENT ACROSS AT LEAST
PORTIONS OF THE GREAT LAKES INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. CONTINUE
TO MONITOR FUTURE FORECASTS FOR FURTHER DETAILS.
