AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
1240 PM EST MON MAR 5 2012

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1047 AM EST MON MAR 5 2012

UPPER PATTERN GETTING A BIT FLATTER THIS MORNING WITH BROAD
RIDGING ACROSS THE CENTRAL/WESTERN U.S..  HEIGHTS WILL BE RISING
ACROSS THE UPPER GREAT LAKES TODAY AS MAIN JET CORE SLIDES
OVERHEAD.  13Z SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER
MISSOURI WITH A RIDGE AXIS EXTENDING NORTHEAST ACROSS UPPER
MICHIGAN/LAKE SUPERIOR WITHIN COLD AIR MASS ACROSS ONTARIO (-15F TO
-30F SURFACE TEMPERATURES).  SKIES ARE SUNNY EAST OF US-131...WITH
CLOUDS AND SNOW SHOWERS PERSISTING OVER FAR NORTHWEST LOWER.

AS SURFACE RIDGE BUILDS ACROSS THE STATE TODAY...LOW LEVEL WINDS
WILL CONTINUE TO BACK TO THE WEST AND SOUTHWEST.  THIS COMBINED WITH
DIURNAL HEATING IS EXPECTED TO PUSH LAKE MICHIGAN CLOUDS FARTHER
INLAND THIS AFTERNOON.  THIS PROCESS WILL BE AIDED BY BAND OF
STRATUS/STRATOCUMULUS OVER WESTERN UPPER/NORTHEAST WISCONSIN THAT
WILL GET ADVECTED OUT ONTO THE LAKE...WHICH WILL ENHANCE CLOUD AND
SNOW SHOWER/FLURRY DEVELOPMENT.  REMNANTS OF MESOLOW THAT DROPPED
OFF LAKE SUPERIOR EARLIER THIS MORNING MAY BE SHOWING UP WEST OF
BEAVER ISLAND...WHICH WON'T HURT THE CAUSE FOR A FEW HOURS.  THINK
CLOUDS WILL PROBABLY EVENTUALLY OVERSPREAD THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA
AS THE AFTERNOON WEARS ON...ALONG WITH SNOW SHOWERS/FLURRIES ACROSS
NORTHERN LOWER.  SO FORECAST WILL BE ADJUSTED TO REFLECT THAT
THINKING.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 643 AM EST MON MAR 5 2012

LAKE EFFECT SNOW HAS PERKED UP A BIT IN LEELANAU CO AND SURROUNDINGS.
IN ADDITION...THE REMNANTS OF A SUPERIOR LAKE VORTEX WILL GET
DRAGGED INTO NW LOWER IN A FEW HOURS. PROBABLY BEST TO MENTION
SNOW SHOWERS IN THESE AREAS RATHER THAN JUST WIMPY FLURRIES...
THOUGH THEY STILL WON/T AMOUNT TO MORE THAN A FLUFFY DUSTING.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 401 AM EST MON MAR 5 2012

HIGH PRESSURE WILL INCREASE ITS INFLUENCE OVER THE REGION TODAY...
BRINGING DRY WEATHER TO MOST...WITH JUST SOME SCATTERED FLURRIES
NEAR LAKE MICHIGAN. AS THE HIGH MOVES TO THE EAST COAST TUESDAY...
TEMPERATURES WILL TURN SIGNIFICANTLY ABOVE NORMAL...WITH ABOVE
NORMAL TEMPERATURES CONTINUING INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. A GOOD
CHANCE FOR RAIN ARRIVES WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS A COLD
FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE REGION. TEMPERATURE WILL BRIEFLY COOL
BEHIND THIS FRONT...WITH MUCH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURE RETURNING
BY NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 401 AM EST MON MAR 5 2012

NOTHING PARTICULARLY HIGH-IMPACT ON THE IMMEDIATE HORIZON. HIGH
PRESSURE EXTENDS FROM NORTHERN ONTARIO TO THE CENTRAL PLAINS...AND
WILL STEADILY BUILD EASTWARD. STRONG RETURN FLOW DEVELOPS HERE
TONIGHT...SO AFTER A CHILLY DAY TODAY...TUESDAY WILL FEEL MUCH
DIFFERENT. THE MAIN PRECIP RISK COMES LATE TONIGHT...WITH THE
INITIAL PUSH OF STRONG 850MB WARM ADVECTION.

TODAY...AT THE PRESENT...AREAS OF LOW CLOUDS ARE SCATTERED SEEMINGLY
AT RANDOM ACROSS THE LAKES REGION AND UPPER MS VALLEY. CLOSE TO
HOME...SKY TRENDS ARE WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT WITH N/NNW 1000-850MB
FLOW. EASTERN UPPER AND N CENTRAL LOWER MI ARE CLEAR...WITH SOME
CLOUDS W OF US-131 IN NW LOWER...AND NEAR ROGERS/APN IN NE LOWER.
LAKE EFFECT SHSN ARE JUST OF THE FLURRY VARIETY HERE...THOUGH A
PROMINENT VORTEX IS NEARING ALGER COUNTY IN THE UP. 1000-850MB
WINDS ARE JUST STARTING TO BACK A BIT...AND CLOUDS/FLURRIES ARE
SHIFTING ACCORDINGLY. THE SURFACE RIDGE AXIS WILL BE OVERHEAD BY
18Z...BACKING LOW LEVEL WINDS WEST BY THEN...AND SW BY THE END OF
THE DAY. WARM ADVECTION WILL ALSO GET UNDERWAY BY 18Z...THOUGH
ONLY ENOUGH TO BOOST 850MB TEMPS TO -11C OR SO BY 00Z.

ANTICIPATE THAT LAKE MI WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE CLOUDS/FLURRIES
THRU MOST OF THE DAY...THOUGH THE LOCATION OF THESE WILL MOVE
NE-WARD AS WINDS BACK. AFTER 21Z...WARMING TEMPS/SINKING INVERSION
HEIGHTS MAY BE ABLE TO WIPE OUT THE FLURRIES (THOUGH PROBABLY NOT
CLOUD PRODUCTION). LAKE HURON ACTIVITY WILL HOVER ALONG THE COAST
THRU 15Z...BEFORE GETTING PUSHED EAST. A BRIEF FAVORABLE WNW FETCH
WILL BRING LAKE CLOUDS AND PERHAPS SOME FLURRIES OFF OF SUPERIOR
INTO EASTERN UPPER IN THE 15Z-18Z TIMEFRAME.

FAVOR COOLER MET GUIDANCE TEMPS...WITH HIGHS IN THE 20S.

TONIGHT...STRONG WARM ADVECTION CONTINUES ON INCREASING SW-ERLY
1000-850MB FLOW. OVERNIGHT...850MB TEMPS RISE FROM -9 TO -3C. THIS
OCCURS AT THE TAIL END OF A DEVELOPING WARM FRONT THAT DRAPES ITSELF
ALONG THE NORTH SHORE OF SUPERIOR. THOUGH WE DON/T HAVE A TON OF
MOISTURE TO TAP...WARM ADVECTION WILL PROVIDE PLENTY OF FORCING FOR
ASCENT. THE NAM/GFS ARE BOTH BECOMING INCREASINGLY AGGRESSIVE IN
SQUEEZING OUT SOME LIGHT PRECIP TONIGHT. A DRY LAYER NEEDS TO BE
OVERCOME...MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW US DOING SO IN NORTHERN REACHES A
LITTLE FASTER THAN EARLIER PLANNED...ROUGHLY AROUND 06Z. WILL
INCREASE POPS...AND EXPAND INTO PORTIONS OF NORTHERN LOWER MI (AS
FAR SOUTH AS CVX/APN). ALL SITES WILL SEE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF
MID CLOUDS FOR MUCH OF THE NIGHT...WITH SOUTHERN REACHES PERHAPS
SEEING ENOUGH BREAKS FOR PARTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS.

GIVEN THE INCREASING PRESSURE GRADIENT...MIN TEMPS WILL BE SEEN
EARLY TONIGHT...WITH STEADY TO RISING TEMPS OVERNIGHT. PLACES NEAR
LAKE MI WILL PROBABLY SEE NO TEMP FALL AT ALL THIS EVENING...FURTHER
EAST WE COULD LOSE 5-10F OR SO OFF OF TODAYS HIGHS BEFORE REBOUNDING.

TUESDAY...850MB TEMPS CONTINUE TO AROUND 3C...AS SW FLOW CONTINUES.
THE LOW LEVELS ARE PROGGED TO MOISTEN ALMOST AS MUCH AS WARM...AND
850MB DEW POINTS ARE FORECAST TO BE NEAR 0C BY LATE IN THE DAY. MUCH
DRIER AIR IS POISED JUST UPSTREAM...BUT WE WON/T SEE IT UNTIL NEAR
00Z (IF THEN). WILL TREND THE FORECAST A BIT CLOUDIER. THIS WILL
KEEP TEMPS FROM SPIKING AS HIGH AS THEY COULD...WITH HIGHS IN THE
MID 30S NORTH TO MID 40S IN WARMER SOUTHERN LOCALES (LIKE TVC...WITH
A DOWNSLOPING S SURFACE WIND).

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 401 AM EST MON MAR 5 2012

LONG TERM...ALTHOUGH YOU SURELY WON'T NOTICE IT BY STEPPING OUTSIDE
EARLY THIS MORNING...DEFINITE SIGNS OF SPRING IN THE DEVELOPING
PATTERN ACROSS THE CONUS...WITH A QUICK RETREAT OF CURRENT OVERHEAD
COLD AIRMASS... AND RETURN TO ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR THE
MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. MAY SEE A TRANSIENT SHOT OF COOLER AIR BY THE
END OF THE WEEK...BUT MAINTENANCE OF A FAST PACIFIC FLOW AND AN EVER
INCREASING SUN ANGLE WILL MAKE IT JUST THAT...TRANSIENT...WITH WELL
AGREED UPON SIGNALS THAT TEMPERATURES WILL MODERATE ONCE AGAIN NEXT
WEEKEND. THESE RAPID TEMPERATURE CHANGES DO SUPPORT SOME PRECIP
POTENTIAL...ESPECIALLY BY LATER WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
FORECAST CONCERNS CENTER ON THIS...AND GENERAL TEMPERATURE AND CLOUD
TRENDS THROUGH THE PERIOD.

QUITE AN INTERESTING...ALBEIT CHALLENGING...FORECAST TUESDAY NIGHT
AS STRENGTHENING WARM ADVECTION OVERRIDES THE DENSE NORTHERN
MICHIGAN SNOWPACK. SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL REMAIN BRISK THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT AHEAD OF ELONGATED WESTERN TROUGH AXIS AND ATTENDANT
DEVELOPING CENTRAL PLAINS COLD FRONT. CHALLENGE LIES IN EXTENT OF
POSSIBLE LOW CLOUD/STRATUS DEVELOPMENT...WITH PERUSAL OF VARIOUS
MODEL DERIVED SOUNDINGS SUPPORTING THE POTENTIAL FOR SUCH AS LOW
LEVELS BECOME SATURATED. BIGGEST CONCERN ACROSS EASTERN UPPER AND
THE UPSLOPE FAVORED INTERIOR HIGHLANDS OF NORTHERN LOWER...WITH SOME
HINTS OF DEEP ENOUGH MOISTURE TO INDUCE SOME PATCHY DRIZZLE AND FOG
FORMATION. CONFIDENCE REMAINS LOW ON HOW THIS WILL ALL PLAY
OUT...WITH LACK OF CONTINUITY AND PATTERN RECOGNITION OF GUIDANCE
OFTEN BEING OVER AMBITIOUS IN MELTING SNOWPACK LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
CONTRIBUTION. SEE NO REASON TO DEVIATE FROM INHERITED FORECAST WHICH
SHIED AWAY FROM THIS POTENTIAL (FOR NOW). TEMPERATURES WILL NOT DROP
MUCH FROM TUESDAY'S HIGHS...WITH READINGS PRETTY MUCH HOLDING
STEADY-STATE...OR SLOWLY RISING...FROM EARLY EVENING READINGS IN THE
MID TO UPPER 30S.

AFOREMENTIONED COLD FRONT TRAVERSES THE AREA LATER WEDNESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY NIGHT. DEEP LAYER MOISTURE INITIALLY SLOW TO JOIN THE
PARTY...BUT THAT LOOKS TO CHANGE BY WEDNESDAY EVENING AS NORTHWARD
SURGING WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO MOISTURE PLUME ADVECTS +6C 850MB
DEWPOINTS (PWAT VALUES AOA 0.75 INCHES) ACROSS THE NORTHERN LAKES.
RAIN IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY ACROSS
NORTHWEST AREAS DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY AS MID LEVEL SUPPORT AND
NICE BAND OF MAINLY POST-FRONTAL DEEP LAYER FGEN ARRIVE...WITH RAIN
TRAVERSING THE REGION FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
DESPITE MOST OF THE ACTIVITY BREAKING OUT JUST BEHIND THE
FRONT...AIRMASS LOOKS TO REMAIN WARM ENOUGH TO SUPPORT A MOSTLY RAIN
EVENT UNTIL PERHAPS THE VERY END OF THE PRECIP. ANY LINGERING LIGHT
RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS SHOULD CLEAR THE SAGINAW BAY SHORTLY AFTER
SUNRISE THURSDAY. CAA LIKELY TO KEEP HIGHS THURSDAY IN THE 30S AND
LOWER 40S...AN APPRECIABLE CHANGE FROM WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON READINGS
IN THE 40S AND LOWER 50S.

LEAD WAVE EXITS STAGE RIGHT THURSDAY...WITH SOME EVIDENCE FOR A
STRONGER NORTHERN STREAM WAVE AND RENEWED SHOT OF COOLER AIR TO CUT
ACROSS THE REGION THURSDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY. TEMPERATURES MAY
GET COLD ENOUGH TO ENTICE A LIGHT LAKE EFFECT RESPONSE INTO EASTERN
UPPER THURSDAY NIGHT...ALTHOUGH LESS THAN IDEAL SYNOPTIC SUPPORT
SHOULD KEEP ANY SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY LIGHT AND SCATTERED.
SPRING-LIKE WARMTH LOOKS TO RETURN NEXT WEEKEND AS PACIFIC AIR
OVERSPREADS THE NATION SOUTH OF RETREATING NORTHERN STREAM JET. DRY
START TO THE WEEKEND BECOMES SOMEWHAT MORE MURKY SATURDAY NIGHT INTO
SUNDAY AS SOUTHERN STREAM CLOSED LOW MAKES AN ATTEMPT TO MOVE NORTH
OUT OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. TIMING AND ANY INTERACTION WITH
APPROACHING WESTERN WAVES SURE TO CHANGE IN THE COMING DAYS...SO
BASICALLY STUCK WITH A MULTI MODEL BLEND CONSENSUS...FEATURING LOW
CHANCE POPS FOR SHOWERS SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY.
