AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
431 PM EST WED DEC 12 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 424 PM EST WED DEC 12 2012

A BROAD AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES...WILL
BRING QUIET WEATHER TO NORTHERN MICHIGAN THROUGH FRIDAY. A WARMING
TREND IS EXPECTED THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...IN ADVANCE OF ANOTHER
STORM SYSTEM LIFTING INTO SOUTHERN MICHIGAN THIS WEEKEND. THE
WEEKEND SYSTEM...WILL GENERATE RAIN OR SNOW OVER NORTHERN MICHIGAN
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. COLDER AIR AND SNOW SHOWERS WILL SETTLE INTO
THE GREAT LAKES TO BEGIN THE UPCOMING WORK WEEK.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 424 PM EST WED DEC 12 2012

ON THE LATEST SURFACE WEATHER MAP OF INTEREST...1026 MB HIGH
PRESSURE WAS OVER NORTHERN ONTARIO...1030 MB HIGH PRESSURE WAS
CENTERED ACROSS THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC AND 1009 MB LOW PRESSURE WAS
OVER NORTHERN MINNESOTA. SATELLITE IMAGERY AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS
INDICATED CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES ACROSS NORTHERN MICHIGAN WITH
MORE CLOUDS OFF TO THE WEST ACROSS WISCONSIN. THE MAIN SHORT TERM
FORECAST CONCERNS ARE FAIRLY MINIMAL WITH CLOUD COVER AND TO A
LESSER EXTENT POPS THE MAIN FOCUS.

TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY...ALBERTA CLIPPER MOVES BY TO OUR NORTH LATER
TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING. MOISTURE/LIFT REMAIN TO THE NORTH OF
THE FORECAST AREA SO NO POPS WARRANTED. MODEL SOUNDINGS/CROSS
SECTIONS INDICATE A COUPLE ROUNDS OF MID LEVEL CLOUDINESS MOVING
ACROSS THE AREA. THEREFORE...EXPECT PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY AND MILD
CONDITIONS. BRISK SOUTH SOUTHWEST WINDS TONIGHT WILL KEEP
TEMPERATURES FROM FALLING OFF TOO MUCH LEADING TO LOWS RANGING FROM
THE MIDDLE 20S EAST TO THE MIDDLE 30S NEAR THE LAKE MICHIGAN
LAKESHORES. WITH DECENT MIXING THURSDAY...HIGHS RANGING FROM THE
MILD UPPER 30S TO MIDDLE 40S EXPECTED.

&&

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 424 PM EST WED DEC 12 2012

NORTHERN HEMISPHERIC FLOW REMAINS DOMINATED BY FAIRLY DEEP FAR EAST
ASIA TROUGH AND STRONG DOWNSTREAM NRN PACIFIC JET DRIVING INTO THE
GULF OF ALASKA AND INTO WESTERN NOAM. CORE OF VERY COLD AIR IS
BOTTLED UP FROM FAR EAST ASIA INTO FAR NRN CANADA...WITH JUST
MODESTLY COLD AIR GETTING INTO NOAM. ONLY SUBTLE CHANGES EXPECTED TO
THIS CONFIGURATION THROUGH THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS WITH A GRADUAL
BREAK DOWN OF THE PACIFIC RIDGE WHILE THE STRONG PACIFIC JET REMAINS
THE DOMINANT PLAYER. DOWNSTREAM...SPLIT FLOW PATTERN DEVELOPING OVER
THE CONUS LEADING TO AN ACTIVE WEATHER REGIME THIS WEEKEND INTO NEXT
WEEK. POTENTIAL FOR A DECENT SRN STREAM STORM IMPACTING THE GREAT
LAKES THIS WEEKEND. BUT QUITE A BIT OF FORECAST UNCERTAINTY (AS
USUAL) GIVEN THE SPLIT FLOW REGIME AND MODEL DIFFERENCES.

IN THE NEARER TERM (THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)...FLAT FLOW
DOMINATES ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES TO WRAP UP THE WORK WEEK AND
HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND. LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND COLD FRONT
(PARALLEL TO THE UPPER FLOW) LOOKING TO LAY OUT ACROSS UPPER
MICHIGAN...THURSDAY AFTERNOON INTO EARLY FRIDAY. MOISTURE STARVED
AND WITH LIMITED FORCING...EXPECT LITTLE IF ANY PRECIP TO IMPACT THE
CWA. IN ADDITION...NO LAKE EFFECT PRECIP ANTICIPATED EITHER AS LOW
LEVEL TEMPS ARE SIMPLY TOO WARM. BUT...A FAIRLY TIGHT PRESSURE
GRADIENT WILL BRING SOME GUSTY SW/WSW WINDS TO THE GREAT LAKES
THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING...DIMINISHING BY FRIDAY.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...SPLIT FLOW/SRN STREAM CUTOFF FEATURE DROPPING
DOWN THROUGH CALIFORNIA TODAY...FORECAST TO EJECT FROM THE SW STATES
ON FRIDAY...AND ULTIMATELY ADVANCE INTO THE GREAT LAKES REGION LATE
SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT. A GENERAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE MEDIUM
RANGE GUIDANCE TRACKING THIS SYSTEM INTO THE GREAT LAKES BY LATE DAY
SATURDAY BEFORE STALLING AND WEAKENING ACROSS LOWER MICHIGAN
SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY PER ECMWF/GEM SOLUTIONS (GFS TRACKS
THE WEAKENING LOW INTO ONTARIO). MAY SEE A DECENT PULSE OF WARM
ADVECTION FORCING SATURDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING AS THE SYSTEM
APPROACHES THE REGION...BUT FOLLOWED BY A WEAKENING TREND HEADING
INTO SUNDAY. HAVE TAILORED POPS ACCORDINGLY. P-TYPE ISSUES ALSO
CONTINUE WITH MODESTLY COLD CONDITIONS AHEAD OF THE LOW AND THERMAL
RIDGING NOSING UP INTO THE REGION IN ADVANCE OF THE LOW. AS IT
STANDS...PROBABLY COLD ENOUGH FOR MAINLY SNOW ACROSS UPPER MICHIGAN.
BUT STILL TOO CLOSE TO CALL ACROSS NRN LOWER MICHIGAN AND WILL JUST
WORD THE FORECAST AS RAIN OR SNOW AT THIS POINT. HEAVIER
ACCUMULATIONS? PERHAPS...ESPECIALLY FOR THE NRN COUNTIES/UPPER
MICHIGAN SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND SATURDAY NIGHT. BUT TO EARLY TO

MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...WEAKENING/FILLING LOW HANGS BACK ACROSS
THE LOWER LAKES THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK AS STRONGER STORM SYSTEM
DEEPENS ALONG OR JUST OFF THE ATLANTIC COAST (BIG MODEL DIFFERENCES
HERE AS WELL). NORTHERN MICHIGAN REMAINS WITHIN "NO MANS LAND"
THROUGH MID WEEK BUT WITH COLDER AIR SLOWLY BLEEDING INTO THE
REGION. NOT MUCH TO HANG YOUR HAT ON IN TERMS OF SENSIBLE WEATHER
OTHER THAN LOWER END CHANCES FOR LAKE SNOWS. WILL HAVE LOW END
CHANCE POPS (ESSENTIALLY CLIMO) THROUGH THIS STRETCH WITH NEAR
SEASONABLE TEMPS.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1233 PM EST WED DEC 12 2012

LINGERING MVFR CIG AT PLN TO START THE TAF PERIOD...OTHERWISE VFR
CONDITIONS EXPECTED. LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR WILL BE A CONCERN FOR
TONIGHT.

&&

.MARINE...
ISSUED AT 424 PM EST WED DEC 12 2012

WINDS HAVE BACKED INTO A MORE SOUTHERLY DIRECTION AND
STARTED TO SLOWLY INCREASE AS THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS
UP. WARMING LOW LEVEL TEMPERATURES TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY WILL REDUCE
OVER WATER INSTABILITY...SO IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN HOW MUCH MOMENTUM
CAN BE MIXED DOWN FROM A 40+KT LOW LEVEL JET. THE THREAT FOR GALE
FORCE WINDS REMAINS WITHIN LAKE MICHIGAN NEARSHORE ZONES...WITH
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS EXPECTED ELSEWHERE.
