OVER MUCH OF NORTHERN LOWER WITH PCLOUDY SKIES OVER EASTERN UPPER.
VERY DRY LLEVEL AIRMASS SHOULD KEEP US PRECIP FREE THROUGH
DAYBREAK.  TEMPS LOOK ON TRACK.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 1024 PM EDT SUN APR 8 2012

ALL DIURNAL CU HAS DISSIPATED LATE THIS EVENING...LEAVING ONLY SCT
MID CLOUD DRIFTING THRU OUR CWA. SMALL AREA OF SCATTERED LIGHT
RAIN SHOWERS HAS SLID WELL SOUTH INTO SRN LWR MICHIGAN. WINDS HAVE
DIMINISHED TO OR BELOW 10 KTS...AS TEMPS CONTINUE TO FALL THRU THE
40S AND INTO THE 30S. THE REST OF THE NIGHT WILL FEATURE PARTLY
CLOUDY SKIES AND DRY WX AND WEAK HIGH PRESSURE IN REINFORCED
BEHIND THE DEPARTING WEAK WAVE THAT PRODUCED THE RAIN NOW TO OUR
SOUTH. WITH ONLY PARTIAL CLOUDINESS AND RELATIVELY WEAK WINDS...
TEMPS WILL FALL INTO THE UPPER 20S AND LOWER 30S FOR OVERNIGHT
LOWS...WITH A FEW COLDER LOCATIONS POSSIBLE.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 707 PM EDT SUN APR 8 2012

FEW CU AND SOME SCT MID CLOUD CONTINUE TO DRIFT THRU THE SKY AS
THE SUN SETS THIS EVENING. A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS...BARELY REACHING
THE GROUND...HAVE GENERALLY REMAINED JUST SW OF OUR CWA...AND
SHOULD REMAIN SW FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS. TEMPS WILL STEADILY FALL
THRU THE 40S THIS EVENING AND INTO THE 30S BY MIDNIGHT...AS NW
WINDS DIMINISH TO UNDER 10 KTS.

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 453 PM EDT SUN APR 8 2012

PATTERN: UPR FLOW IS QUASI-ZONAL FROM THE NRN PLAINS INTO THE GTLKS
AMONGST SURROUNDING HIGHLY BLOCKED PATTERN. MSTR CHANNEL IMAGERY
SHOWS SHRTWV TROF OVER MN. THIS TROF WILL MOVE THRU THIS EVNG...
POSSIBLY TRIGGERING A FEW SPRINKLES IN THE MBL-CAD AREAS. OVERNIGHT
VORT MIN AND SUBSIDENCE FOLLOWS. ANOTHER SHRTWV TROF WAS ORBITING
THE BLOCKED UPR LOW OVER MANITOBA. THIS TROF WILL SWING SE...MOVING
THRU TOMORROW WITH AN ASSOCIATED SECONDARY COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE.

WIND: SIGNIFICANT GUSTS NEVER REALLY DEVELOPED. SO ADVY HAS BEEN
CANCELLED EARLY. THE HIGHEST GUST WE COULD FIND WAS 32 KTS AT CAD
HTL /37 MPH/. FIRE DANGER WILL REMAIN ELEVATED THIS EVNG. WE'RE NOW
SEEING RH DROP BELOW 25%.

TNGT: OVERALL P/CLOUDY WITH SOME AREAS M/CLEAR TO M/CLOUDY AT TIMES.
AC/ACCAS DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN WIDESPREAD OVER MN/WI WITHIN PLUME OF
STEEP 850-500 MB LAPSE RATES. THIS IS MOVING INTO FKS/MBL/CAD AREAS
ATTM. MODELS ARE OUTPUTTING A COUPLE HUNDREDTHS. POPS ARE CONTINUITY
WITH 4 AM APX FCST...ESSENTIALLY A SLGT CHC SOUTH OF TVC UNTIL 11
PM. HOWEVER...CLOUD BASES ARE 8-9K FT AND WE'RE SEEING INCREASING
RETURNS ON GRB/APX RADARS. SUB-CLOUD LAYER IS VERY DRY. SO "IF" ANY
RAIN MAKES IT TO THE SFC...IT WILL BE IN THE FORM OF SPRINKLES.
THEREFORE...NO QPF.

WINDS DROP OFF AFTER SUNSET.

LOW TEMPS ARE ONLY AVERAGE CONFIDENCE GIVEN BALANCE BETWEEN
INCREASING CLOUDS AND LIGHT WINDS. TEMPS WERE WEIGHTED CONSENSUS OF
BEST VERIFYING GUIDANCE...GENERALLY 32-36F EXCEPT 26-29F IN USUAL
COLDEST SPOTS. DWPTS ARE CONSENSUS OF ALL GUIDANCE.

MON: P/CLOUDY TO START THEN TURNING M/CLOUDY POST-FRONTAL. FROPA
WILL OCCUR 8 TO 11 AM. CAA THEN FOLLOWS. IT WILL BE UNSTABLE FROM
800-650 MB WITH A HIGH CCL AT 6500 FT. INVERTED-V PROFILE IS
IMPRESSIVE. WE SHOULD SEE SCT AFTN SHWRS DEVELOP...ESPECIALLY S AND
W OF GAYLORD. CCL IS FCST TO DESCEND DUE TO EVAPORATIVE COOLING.
ESPECIALLY INTERESTING...NOTE BY SMD...IS THAT WETBULB TEMP OF +2
REACHES THE SFC BY 21Z WITH WBZ AT 1K FT.

TEMPS ARE CONSENSUS OF ALL GUIDANCE WITH BIAS CORRECTION APPLIED
/45-52F OVER THE ERN U.P. AND 48-59F OVER NRN LOWER/. THESE TEMPS
COULD BE A LITTLE TOO WARM. USING -4C SUGGESTS LOW 50S BUT THAT IS
WITH FULL SUN. DWPTS ARE CONSENSUS OF ALL GUIDANCE.

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 423 PM EDT SUN APR 8 2012

FORECAST ISSUES IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD REVOLVE AROUND LIGHT
PRECIPITATION CHANCES MONDAY NIGHT-TUESDAY AS MID LEVEL TROUGH/SHEAR
AXIS DROPS OVERHEAD...BEFORE RETROGRADING UPPER/SFC LOWS THROW MORE
ENERGY OUR WAY. COLD ADVECTION IN THIS PROCESS RESULTING IN SNOW
CHANCES AS WELL. QUIETER WEDNESDAY-THURSDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE AND
DRIER AIR...THEIR LENGTH OF STAY STILL QUESTIONABLE...PER CONTINUING
MODEL DISAGREEMENT ON HOW QUICKLY TO BREAK DOWN THE UPPER RIDGE.

MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...MID LEVEL TROUGH/SHEAR AXIS OVERHEAD
MONDAY EVENING WITH MAYBE SOME ISOLATED/SCATTERED LIGHT COLD RAIN OR
HIGHER TERRAIN SNOW SHOWERS IN THE EVENING. H8 TEMPS COOLING TO -6C
TO -8C AT H8 SO MOST AREAS AWAY FROM THE DOWNWIND SHORES OF THE
LAKES PROBABLY MORE SNOW THAN ANYTHING. ANY DIURNALLY DRIVEN SHOWERS
WILL ALSO LINGER...BUT JUST THE VERY EARLY EVENING. TROUGH AXIS
SLIDES SOUTH BY MIDNIGHT WITH FOCUS TURNING TO SHORTWAVE ON NW FLANK
OF RETROGRADING CLOSED/SFC LOWS FROM QUEBEC...AND SLIGHT WARMING AT
H8 TO -6C. BACK DOOR FRONT/SFC TROUGH WORKS IN OVERNIGHT AND INTO
TUESDAY WITH A BAND OF DEEPER MOISTURE ACROSS PRIMARILY THE NE HALF
OF THE CWA. CAN SEE A BAND OF LIGHT SNOW/FLURRIES ARRIVING BY
DAYBREAK. BETTER SHORTWAVE FORCING/WEAK -DIVQ PROVIDES BEST SHOT AT
SEEING SOME LIGHT SNOWS...ACROSS THE EASTERN CWA WITHIN BETTER
MOISTURE/FORCING. ANYTHING STILL HANGING AROUND WILL MIX WITH SOME
LIGHT RAIN EXCEPT ON THE HIGHER TERRAIN. HIGHS GONNA BE VERY HARD TO
GET TO 40 IN EASTERN UPPER WITH THE LEAST CHILLY SPOT IN DOWNWIND
REGIMES OF NE LOWER WITH MID 40S. ADD IN THE FACT THAT AFTERNOON
MIXING WILL TAP 25KTS ALOFT MAKING IT FEEL RATHER COLD.

TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...FULLY EXPECTING 925MB STRATO CU
ISSUES TO CONTEND WITH TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING...BEFORE
MORE SUBSTANTIAL DRY AIR CAN FILTER IN WITH INVADING NEXT CANADIAN
HIGH PRESSURE. THIS DRY HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE AROUND THROUGH AT
LEAST THURSDAY. AFTER THAT...MODELS ARE STILL IN FLUX ON HOW QUICKLY
RIDGING ALOFT GETS BROKEN DOWN WITH SHORTWAVE ENERGY FROM ROCKIES
UPPER TROUGHING. GFS STILL QUITE PROGRESSIVE AND SWAYING THE
CONSENSUS INTO AT LEAST A CHANCE OF RAIN DEVELOPING FRIDAY. WILL
STILL NEED TO SEE MORE MODEL RUNS TO GRAB ONTO A MORE CONCRETE IDEA.
CONFIDENCE STILL LOW AT THIS POINT WITH RAIN FRIDAY. BETTER CHANCES
LIKELY OVER NEXT WEEKEND. HIGHS WARMING OVER THIS ENTIRE TIME
FRAME...FROM THE 40S WEDNESDAY TO THE 50S AND EVEN LOW 60S OVER NEXT
WEEKEND.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 128 AM EDT MON APR 9 2012

VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS AS A SECONDARY
COLD FRONT PASSES THROUGH THE REGION...BRINGING ANOTHER LOW END
CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND CONTINUED GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS.

IN TERMS OF CLOUDINESS...EXPECT A BROKEN MID DECK TO THIN DURING
THE DAY ON TUESDAY AT PLN/APN...BUT STICKING AROUND WITH SOME
LOWERING POSSIBLE AT TVC/MBL. SCATTERED AFTERNOON SHOWERS ARE
POSSIBLE NEAR THESE TERMINALS...BUT CURRENT THINKING IS THAT BEST
CHANCES REMAIN TO THE EAST...AND WILL NOT MENTION GIVEN LOW
PROBABILITY AND LITTLE CHANCE OF CAUSING ANY RESTRICTIONS.
SCATTERED MID CLOUDS WILL REMAIN THE ONLY SIGNIFICANT CLOUDINESS
THROGUH 06Z TUESDAY.

LIGHT WINDS OVERNIGHT WILL BECOME NORTHWEST AROUND 10KTS DURING
THE MORNING HOURS ON MONDAY...STRENGTHENING TO 14G22KTS BY
AFTERNOON BEFORE DIMINISHING BACK TO AROUND 10KTS MONDAY EVENING.

TNGT: W-NW WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO GUST UP TO 30 KTS THIS EVNG ON
WHITEFISH BAY...ST MARY'S RVR...LAKE HURON. SCA'S WILL REMAIN IN
EFFECT UNTIL 11 PM. THEREAFTER...WINDS WILL DROP TO AROUND 10 KTS.

ON LAKE MI...SCA'S WERE DROPPED. WINDS WILL DROP BELOW 10 KTS.

MON: ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE WATERS IN THE MRNG. NW
WINDS WILL STRENGTHEN AFTER MIDDAY. SCA'S WILL BE REQUIRED ON ALL
WATERS...EXCEPT ON LAKE HURON...S OF STURGEON POINT LIGHT.

TUE: A TIGHT PRES GRADIENT WILL MAINTAIN STRONG NW WINDS ON ALL
WATERS. SCA'S PROBABLY EXPAND TO INCLUDE ALL WATERS. THERE IS A
LOW PROBABILITY FOR SOME GALE FORCE GUSTS.
