AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
420 AM EDT TUE APR 17 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 400 AM EDT TUE APR 17 2012

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRIEFLY SLIDE ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES
TODAY...LEADING TO CLEARING SKIES BUT WITH CHILLY TEMPERATURES.
MUCH WARMER CONDITIONS WILL MOVE IN ON WEDNESDAY...AS A WEAK AREA OF
LOW PRESSURE MOVES THROUGH WITH SOME RAIN SHOWERS. ANOTHER STRONGER
AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL THEN PASS BY JUST TO OUR SOUTH THURSDAY
NIGHT INTO FRIDAY...LIKELY BRINGING A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW TO THE
REGION. SOME SPOTS ACROSS FAR NORTHERN MICHIGAN COULD EVEN SEE SOME
SNOW ACCUMULATION.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 400 AM EDT TUE APR 17 2012

LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS STILL GOING IN EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN DOWN TO
THE STRAITS AS AN AXIS OF DEEPER MOISTURE CONTINUES TO BE ALIGNED
ACROSS THIS REGION...WHILE H8 TEMPS AT AT A SUFFICIENT -12C.
WNW/NW WINDS STILL BLOWING STRONG MOST AREAS...WITH GUSTS
ROUTINELY IN THE 25 MPH RANGE. TEMPS ARE IN THE 20S MOST
AREAS...AND WITH THE WINDS...IT FEELS MORE LIKE THE TEENS OUT
THERE. WOW...WHAT A CHANGE FROM 24 HRS AGO. SYNOPTICALLY...SFC LOW
PRESSURE CONTINUES TO HEAD EASTWARD THROUGH QUEBEC...WHILE MID
LEVEL ENHANCED MOISTURE/COLD POOL IN DECAYING DEFORMATION IS
FALLING APART ACROSS EASTERN UPPER. THERE IS WIDESPREAD STRATUS
ACROSS THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES...BUT LATEST SATELLITE IMAGERY
SHOWING DRIER AIR/CLEARING WORKING DOWN LAKE SUPERIOR. ALSO...THE
SRN CLEARING LINE BISECTING LOWER MICHIGAN IS LIFTING SLOWLY
NORTHWARD WITH TIME.

DON'T EXPECT TO SEE THE SUN ANYWHERE IN THE CWA AT DAYBREAK DUE TO
THE STRATUS. HOWEVER...THE SRN AND NRN AREAS OF THE CWA WILL
GRADUALLY SEE INCREASED SUNSHINE STARTING THIS MORNING...WHILE IT
MAY TAKE UNTIL AFTERNOON FOR NE LOWER/THE ST MARY'S UNTIL LATER
THIS AFTERNOON...AS THEY WILL REMAIN IN THE COLD POOL LONGEST.
HIGH PRESSURE DOES SETTLE IN BY AFTERNOON...AND THE WEAK FLOW AND
ANTICYCLONIC NATURE OF THE WINDS WILL HELP IN BREAKING UP THE
CLOUD. BELIEVE THAT EVERYONE WILL SEE SUNSHINE BY DAYS END.

THIS HIGH PRESSURE EXITS EAST TONIGHT...WITH TEMPERATURES FALLING
OFF RATHER QUICKLY THIS EVENING IN THE VERY GOOD RADIATIONAL
COOLING CONDITIONS. LOWS WILL BOTTOM OUT IN MOST AREAS SHORTLY
AFTER MIDNIGHT...BEFORE A RETURN SOUTHERLY FLOW/MODERATION OF THE
LOW LEVEL AIR MASS STEADIES THE FALL. LOWS WILL BE IN THE
MID/UPPER 20S MOST AREAS...BUT GOTTA BELIEVE THAT THE PROTECTED
LOW LYING AREAS...ESPECIALLY IN NORTHEAST LOWER...WILL SEE LOW
20S AND MAYBE EVEN A FEW TEENS OUT THERE.

SKIES WILL INCREASE IN CLOUDINESS LATE TONIGHT...BUT MAINLY DURING
WEDNESDAY MORNING AS FAST AND PROGRESSIVE FLOW REGIME ALOFT WILL
ALREADY BE BRINGING IN THE NEXT LOW PRESSURE. MODEST SHORTWAVE AND
SFC LOW WILL DRIVE THROUGH LAKE SUPERIOR/ONTARIO WEDNESDAY AND
BRING A FAIRLY WEAK AND BRIEF AND DECAYING PERIOD OF WAA LIGHT
RAIN (EVEN IN EASTERN UPPER WHERE THERMAL PROFILES SUGGEST
COMPLETE MELTING IN SFC MIXED LAYER DURING THE LATE MORNING).
THIS RAIN WILL HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING MUCH DONE CONSIDERING THE
DRYNESS OF THE ATMOSPHERE AT THE ONSET OF POTENTIAL PRECIPITATION.
THE WARM ADVECTION LIGHT RAINS WILL GET A BOOST/TAKEN OVER BY A
RAPIDLY APPROACHING COLD FRONT FOR THE AFTERNOON. THIS COLD FRONT
WILL NOT HAVE AS MUCH OF A HARD TIME SQUEEZING OUT PRECIPITATION
AS THE AIR MASS WILL NOT BE AS DRY FOR ITS ARRIVAL. THIS TRUE FOR
NW LOWER/EASTERN UPPER...BUT IT WILL ALSO ENCOUNTER A DRIER AIR
MASS ACROSS NE LOWER...SO THE PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO BREAK
UP/LIGHTEN UP IT IT CROSSES THERE. AS THE PRECIPITATION ENDS FROM
WEST TO EAST...THE LOWER 8KFT OR SO WILL BE UNSTABLE WITH SOME
DECENT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE LEFT BEHIND...SUGGESTING A QUICK
DEVELOPMENT OF A MOSTLY CLOUDY STRATO CU DECK...SO NOT EXPECTING
MUCH SUN FOR THE DAY. HIGHS IN THE UPPER 40S EASTERN UPPER...TO
THE 50S AND EVEN AROUND 60 DEGREES IN NRN LOWER.

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 400 AM EDT TUE APR 17 2012

WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...

THE ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN CONTINUES THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. IT
COULD POTENTIALLY BECOME WHITE IN SOME AREAS OVERNIGHT THURSDAY INTO
FRIDAY MORNING...BUT LOTS OF UNCERTAINTY REMAINS IN THIS REGARD.
COOLISH TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
THIS IS A RESULT OF SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE IN CONTROL AS AN UPPER
RIDGE AMPLIFIES TO OUR WEST BRINGING TROUGH/LOWER HEIGHTS ALOFT
ACROSS OUR NECK OF THE WOODS. THE MAIN LONG TERM FORECAST CONCERNS
FOCUS ON THE DETAILS OF THE SYSTEM TO LIKELY AFFECT THE REGION
THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THE WEAK AREA OF SURFACE LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES TO
TRAVERSE THE REGION...PASSING ACROSS EASTERN UPPER IN THE EVENING.
THIS WILL LEAD TO LINGERING CHANCES FOR LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS EARLY ON.
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE THEN NOSES IN OVERNIGHT LEADING TO PARTIAL
CLEARING SKIES WITH LOWS RANGING FROM THE MIDDLE 30S NORTH TO THE
LOWER 40S SOUTHEAST.

THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY...INTERESTING SCENARIO POSSIBLY UNFOLDING AS A
PIECE OF PACIFIC ENERGY (NOW EVIDENT ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY) BREAKS
OFF AND HEADS ACROSS THE ROCKIES AND PLAINS TOWARD THE LOWER GREAT
LAKES (LIKELY PASSING BY JUST TO OUR SOUTH). EXTENDED MODELS VARY ON
THE DETAILS OF THIS SYSTEM BUT AGREE TO SOME EXTENT THAT THERE WILL
BE SOME INTERACTION WITH SOME ARCTIC AIR TO OUR NORTH. ANY INITIAL
PRECIPITATION WILL LIKELY FALL IN THE FORM OF RAIN THURSDAY
AFTERNOON AS THE COOLER AIR WILL TAKE ITS TIME ADVECTING IN FROM THE
NORTH. MODEL SOUNDINGS/CROSS SECTIONS THEN SHOW THAT IT WILL TURN
MARGINALLY COLD ENOUGH FOR WET SNOW ACROSS THE NORTHERN TWO-THIRDS
OF THE FORECAST AREA BY OVERNIGHT THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY MORNING. IF
EVERYTHING COMES TOGETHER (MOISTURE AND COLD AIR)...THERE COULD EVEN
BE A FEW INCHES OF WET SNOW ACCUMULATION. HIGHS THURSDAY RANGING
FROM THE MIDDLE 40S TO LOWER 50S AND THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 40S ON
FRIDAY.

SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY...A BUILDING RIDGE CENTERED ACROSS THE
DESERT SOUTHWEST WILL LEAD TO DOWNSTREAM TROUGHING/LOWER HEIGHTS
ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND NORTHEASTERN STATES. THIS SHOULD LEAD TO
COOLER THAN AVERAGE TEMPERATURES WITH SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE LEADING
TO CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES. HIGHS GENERALLY RANGING FROM THE
MIDDLE 40S TO LOWER 50S WITH LOWS IN THE MIDDLE 20S TO LOWER 30S.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z TUESDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 103 AM EDT TUE APR 17 2012

MAINLY LOW END VFR CIGS WILL PERSIST INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS
WITH SNOW SHOWERS TARGETING EASTERN UPPER ONLY...BUT STILL IN TH
VCNTY OF PLN FOR ANOTHER COUPLE HOURS. THIS...AS DEEPER MOISTURE
LIFTS FURTHER NE OVERNIGHT. W/NW WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO GUST TO
25 TO 30 MPH OVERNIGHT...AND THEN GRADUALLY DIMINISH ON TUESDAY.
RESIDUAL LOW CLOUDS/CIGS WILL HOLD THROUGH THE NIGHT...BUT
DIMINISH TO SCATTERED CU THROUGH TUESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE
TEMPORARILY BUILDS INTO MICHIGAN. TIMING OF CLEARING EXPECTED TO
HIT MBL 12-13Z...AND THROUGH 15Z TVC...16Z-17Z OR SO PLN/APN.

&&

.MARINE...
ISSUED AT 400 AM EDT TUE APR 17 2012

TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT EXITS QUICKLY THIS MORNING WITH GALE FORCE
AND SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY GUSTS BOTH ENDING THIS MORNING. PRESQUE
ISLE WILL BE THE AREA WHERE THE STRONGEST AND MOST PROLONGED
GUSTINESS WILL RESIDE. HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES IN THIS AFTERNOON BUT
EXITS TONIGHT WITH A QUICK RAMP UP IN THE SOUTHERLY WINDS AHEAD OF
NEXT LOW PRESSURE MOVING INTO ONTARIO WEDNESDAY. WEDNESDAY COULD
FEATURE A QUICK PERIOD OF GALES FOR PORTIONS OF THE NW LOWER
COASTLINE AND WHITEFISH BAY. A HANDFUL OF SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
GUSTS POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY NIGHT...BUT WINDS FALLING OFF AGAIN
THURSDAY.
