AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
310 AM EDT MON APR 23 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 310 AM EDT MON APR 23 2012

HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN THE DRIVING FORCE OVER OUR WEATHER INTO
TUESDAY NIGHT...CONTINUING THE STRETCH OF MAINLY SUNNY AND DRY BUT
WINDY WEATHER. ALL THE WHILE...STRONG LOW PRESSURE WILL MEANDER OF
THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES...BRINGING JUST SOME CLOUDS FOR AREAS
CLOSER TO LAKE HURON. OUR NEXT CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION WILL ARRIVE
LATER WEDNESDAY INTO EARLY THURSDAY...AS QUICK MOVING LOW PRESSURE
SLIDES THROUGH THE REGION. IN ITS WAKE...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD
INTO THE AREA ONCE AGAIN BY SATURDAY...RETURNING US TO A DRY AND
SEASONABLE WEATHER PATTERN INTO EARLY NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 310 AM EDT MON APR 23 2012

STAGNANT HIGH PRESSURE ANCHORED OVER JAMES BAY WILL HOLD ITS
POSITION THRU TUESDAY. IN THE MEANTIME...DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE
WILL RIDE NORTHWARD UP THE ATLANTIC COAST...REACHING NEW ENGLAND
TODAY AND THEN RETROGRADING BACK INTO THE ERN GREAT LAKES TONIGHT
BEFORE PUSHING FURTHER NORTH INTO WRN QUEBEC ON TUESDAY. THE FAR
WRN EDGE OF THE MOISTURE SHIELD ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LOW WILL
GRAZE ERN SECTIONS OF OUR CWA TODAY THRU TUESDAY...THROWING JUST
ENOUGH MID/HIGH CLOUD INTO THIS REGION TO PRECLUDE A CLOUDLESS
SKY. MICHIGAN WILL FIND ITSELF IN A SQUEEZE PLAY BETWEEN HIGH
PRESSURE LOCKED OVER JAMES BAY AND THE APPROACHING LOW. N/NW
WINDS ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE STRONG LOW WILL STRENGTHEN TO 15 TO
25 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 30 MPH EXPECTED TODAY THRU TUESDAY. MIN RH
VALUES DROPPING BELOW 25 PCT THIS AFTERNOON AND AGAIN TUESDAY
AFTERNOON COMBINED WITH GUSTY N/NW WINDS WILL RESULT IN ELEVATED
FIRE DANGER BOTH DAYS. HOWEVER...TEMPS WILL REMAIN COOL WITH
AFTERNOON HIGHS IN THE 50S AND LOWS TONIGHT IN THE 30S.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 310 AM EDT MON APR 23 2012

MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE ROUNDING OUT THE SECOND HALF OF THE WORK
WEEK AND HEADING INTO NEXT WEEKEND REMAINS PRECIP POTENTIAL...MAINLY
IN THE WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY TIMEFRAME...AND PERHAPS AGAIN BY SUNDAY.
NOT A WHOLE LOT OF CHANGE EXPECTED TO THE RECENT WEATHER PATTERN...
FEATURING A VERY STABLE 4-WAVE HEMISPHERIC CIRCULATION...WITH ANCHOR
TROUGHS OVER MUCH OF THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CONUS AND DOWN THE
SPINE OF THE ALEUTIANS. PRONOUNCED RIDGING IN BETWEEN WILL CONTINUE
TO FORCE AN OVERALL WEST TO NORTHWEST FLAVOR TO THE MID/UPPER LEVEL
FLOW INTO THE GREAT LAKES...DICTATING THAT ANY SYSTEMS WHICH MAKE A
RUN AT THE REGION WILL BE MOISTURE-STARVED AND LIKELY FAIRLY WEAK.

BIGGEST CHANGE TO THINKING OF THE PAST FEW DAYS IS FOR A SLIGHTLY
QUICKER EXIT OF MONSTER SYSTEM CURRENTLY AFFECTING THE MID ATLANTIC/
NORTHEAST STATES. THAT IDEA IS DRIVEN SOLIDLY BY GUIDANCE TRENDS THE
PAST 24 HOURS...WITH EVEN THE EARLIER STEADFAST ECMWF SOLUTION
BOWING TO THIS IDEA. A QUICKER EXIT SOLUTION OPENS UP THE DOOR FOR
LESS AMPLIFIED UPPER TROUGHING OVER THE GREAT LAKES TOWARD THE
MIDWEEK PERIOD...ALLOWING A TIGHTER LOW LEVEL THERMAL GRADIENT TO
RESIDE A BIT FARTHER NORTH THAN EARLIER THOUGHT. AS SUCH...NO
SURPRISE TO SEE ALL GUIDANCE TRENDING TOWARD THE IDEA OF A SYSTEM
CROSSING THE AREA LATER WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT OR EARLY
THURSDAY (EXACT TIMEFRAME STILL UNCERTAIN). DAY SHIFT YESTERDAY
ALREADY INCLUDED A MENTION OF POPS FOR THIS TIMEFRAME...AND THIS
IDEA LOOKS JUST FINE. LOOKING LIKE MAINLY RAIN...BUT PERHAPS A
LITTLE SNOW MIX ON THE BACKSIDE OF COOLER AIR GETS DRAWN INTO THE
SYSTEM (AFTER ALL...THERE IS STILL SOME CHILLY AIR LURKING NOT TOO
FAR TO THE NORTH).
