AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
124 AM EDT THU AUG 9 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 318 PM EDT WED AUG 8 2012

LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP OVER THE MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
TONIGHT...AND WILL STRENGTHEN AS IT MOVES INTO THE OHIO VALLEY BY
FRIDAY. WHILE THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH THE EXACT TRACK OF THIS
SYSTEM...IT WILL BRING A CHANCE FOR SOME NEEDED RAINFALL ACROSS THE
REGION...THURSDAY INTO THIS WEEKEND. THE BEST THREAT NOW LOOKS TO
RESIDE ALONG AND SOUTH OF M-72 ON THURSDAY...AND FOR PARTS OF NORTH
CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST LOWER FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL
REMAIN COOL...WITH HIGH PRESSURE BRINGING FAIR WEATHER AND
MODERATING TEMPERATURES SUNDAY.

&&

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1241 AM EDT THU AUG 9 2012

WILL CONTINUE THE SPEEDING UP PRECIP TREND IN THE GRIDS...AS BAND
OF SHOWERS ALONG H7-5 DEFORMATION AXIS SETTLES SOUTH AND EAST INTO
NORTHWEST LOWER IN ASSOCIATION WITH LEAD SHORTWAVE. 00Z APX RAOB
REVEALS LITTLE DRY AIR LEFT TO OVERCOME...WITH 00Z GRB RAOB
SUGGESTING THAT THE SATURATION PROCESS IS LIKELY HAPPENING
OVERHEAD...IN AGREEMENT WITH GRADUALLY INCREASING RADAR ECHOES.
SO...WILL UP POPS TO LIKELY OVER NW LOWER...WITH SCT SHRA MENTION
FURTHER EAST AS DEFORMATION BAND SLOWLY WEAKENS AS PARENT
SHORTWAVE CONTINUES TO SHEAR OUT IN ADVANCE OF MUCH MORE POTENT
BOWLING BALL DROPPING OUT OF WESTERN ONTARIO. TEMPERATURES LOOK ON
TRACK...WITH SOME COOLING TOWARDS THE UPPER 50S/NEAR 60 EXPECTED
AS THE LIGHT RAIN COMMENCES. DRY CONDITIONS SHOULD PERSIST THROUGH
DAY BREAK NORTH OF THE BRIDGE.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 1004 PM EDT WED AUG 8 2012

RADAR/SURFACE OB TRENDS OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS AS WELL AS THE
LAST RUN OF THE NAM INDICATE A SLIGHTLY QUICKER ARRIVAL OF RAIN
CHANCES ACROSS SW PORTIONS OF OUR CWA LATE THIS EVENING AND INTO
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THUS...HAVE MADE SOME MODIFICATIONS TO
WX/POP/QPF FORECAST FOR THE BALANCE OF THE NIGHT TO MATCH THESE
TRENDS. LACK OF SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY WILL PRECLUDE ANY CHANCE OF
THUNDER OVERNIGHT. LIGHT WINDS AND LOWS IN THE 50S ARE STILL ON
TARGET.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 721 PM EDT WED AUG 8 2012

CLOUDS CONTINUE TO LOWER AND THICKEN THIS EVENING AS LOW/MID
LEVELS MOISTEN WELL IN ADVANCE OF LOW PRESSURE APPROACHING THE SRN
GREAT LAKES REGION. AREAS OF RAIN REMAIN UPSTREAM OVER
WISCONSIN...WITH MICHIGAN STILL DRY ATTM. STILL EXPECT THE BALANCE
OF THE EVENING WILL REMAIN DRY AS LOW LEVEL DRY AIR HANGS ON FOR
JUST A FEW MORE HOURS. AREAS OF RAIN WILL BEGIN TO REACH OUR SW
CWA BY OR JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT AND THEN CONTINUE TO SPREAD NE THRU
OUR CWA.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 318 PM EDT WED AUG 8 2012

CURRENTLY, HIGH PRESSURE IS CENTERED JUST TO THE NE OF LAKE
SUPERIOR WITH THE RIDGE TAILING INTO LOWER MICHIGAN. THERE IS A
WEAK SFC LOW IN THE BOUNDARY WATERS AREA WITH THE 500 MB SHORTWAVE
THAT WILL BE IN OUR REGION BY THURSDAY, THIS WILL BE THE MAIN
CONCERN.

TONIGHT...THE SFC LOW IN THE BOUNDARY WATERS HAS KICKED OFF SOME
SHOWERS ALONG THE WARM FRONT WHICH IS IN N WISCONSIN. THIS HAS
BEEN PRODUCING WHAT LOOKS TO BE SPRINKLES (OBS UNDER HEAVIEST HAD
10SM -RA) IN N WISCONSIN AND W UPPER THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. AS
THEY STRAY OVER INTO OUR AREA, THE DRY AIR IN THE LOWER LEVELS
FROM THE NORTHERN FLOW, FROM THE HIGH TO THE NORTH HAS BEEN
KILLING OFF ANY RAIN THAT HAS ATTEMPTED TO MOVE INTO FORECAST
AREA. THIS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING, UNTIL A SECOND 500
MB SHORTWAVE COMING OUT OF IOWA PRODUCES RAIN ALONG THE WARM
FRONT. MORE THAN LIKELY, THE RAIN WON'T GET INTO NW LOWER UNTIL
AFTER 09Z AS THE RAIN WILL HAVE TO FIGHT THROUGH THE DRY AIR.
HOWEVER, AS THE 500 MB SHORTWAVE IN CANADA DROPS SOUTH AND BEGINS
TO PHASE WITH THE PLAINS SHORTWAVE, THE RAIN WILL SPREAD PRETTY
QUICKLY ACROSS N LOWER.

THURSDAY...RAIN THEN CONTINUES AS THE SFC LOW WITH THIS SYSTEM
MOVES UP THE OHIO VALLEY. THIS WILL SET UP THE DEFORMATION ZONE
SOUTH OF M-72 AND NORTH OF US-10 AS THE 500 MB LOW PHASES OVER
LAKE MICHIGAN BY THE AFTERNOON. RAIN LOOKS LIKELY IN THE SOUTHERN
COUNTIES, WITH THE TRACK BEGINNING TO COME TOGETHER ON THE MODELS.
IF THIS TRACK HOLDS TOGETHER ON THIS EVENING'S MODEL RUNS, THEN
RAIN WILL PROBABLY BE CATEGORICAL SOUTH OF M-72. FARTHER NORTH,
CHANCE POPS. IF THIS TRACK HOLDS, THEN THIS COULD BE A DROUGHT
BREAKER FOR A GOOD PORTION OF N LOWER.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 318 PM EDT WED AUG 8 2012

LARGE SCALE ANALYSIS/FORECAST: FOUR WAVE HEMISPHERIC PATTERN IN
PLACE...WITH MEAN TROUGHING ACROSS EASTERN NORTH AMERICA...AND
RIDGING ACROSS THE WEST WHERE THE CORE OF THE HEAT IS LOCATED OVER
THE GREAT BASIN/SOUTHWESTERN U.S..  SEVERAL SHORT WAVE TROUGHS NOTED
IN WATER VAPOR IMAGERY ACROSS CENTRAL CANADA DIGGING SOUTHWARD INTO
MEAN TROUGH AXIS FORECAST TO DEEPEN AND SEND A STRONG TROUGH THROUGH
THE GREAT LAKES IN THE LATER THURSDAY/FRIDAY TIME FRAME (AND A COOL
START TO THE WEEKEND).  ONCE THIS TROUGH LIFTS OUT LATER THIS
WEEKEND...PATTERN WILL SHIFT TO A WEAKLY ZONAL FLOW.

NEAR TERM FORECAST (THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)...POSITIVE TILT
SHORT WAVE TROUGH DIGGING SOUTHEAST ACROSS WISCONSIN WILL SET THE
STAGE FOR AN ANOMALOUS CLOSED UPPER LOW SETTING UP SHOP OVER THE
GREAT LAKES FOR THE END OF THE WEEK.  DEVELOPING DEFORMATION ZONE
ACROSS THE NORTHERN SEMICIRCLE OF THIS SYSTEM WILL BE THE KEY IN
DETERMINING WHO GETS RAINFALL FROM THIS SYSTEM AND WHO MISSES OUT.
TREND SEEMS TO BE MORE TOWARD THE WETTER SIDE OF THINGS...SO HAVE
CONTINUED TO TREND RAIN CHANCES UPWARD AND WESTWARD WITH TIME...SUCH
THAT ALL AREAS WILL HAVE AT LEAST A CHANCE FOR RAIN BY FRIDAY NIGHT
(WITH LIKELY POPS ACROSS NORTHEAST LOWER STARTING FRIDAY).  FRIDAY
ITSELF COULD PRESENT A WIDE RANGE OF CONDITIONS ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA...LIKELY TO BE NICEST ACROSS EASTERN UPPER WHERE WILL SEE AT
LEAST SOME FILTERED SUNSHINE AND TEMPERATURES REACHING INTO THE
70S.  SOUTHEAST PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA MAY BE STUCK IN A
CLOUDY/RAINY AFTERNOON WITH A BIT OF A CHILLY NORTH/NORTHEAST WIND.
HAVE TRENDED TEMPERATURES A BIT DOWNWARD AS WELL FOR SATURDAY WITH
MORE AREAS LIKELY TO BE UNDER CLOUDS AND SHOWERS...MOST AREAS WILL
REMAIN IN THE 60S (AT BEST...COULD BE ONE OF THOSE UPPER 50S CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE DAYS IN GAYLORD SATURDAY).

EXTENDED FORECAST (SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)...ONCE THIS UPPER LOW
LIFTS OUT LATER SATURDAY EXPECT IMPROVING CONDITIONS FOR THE LATTER
HALF OF THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.  NOT MUCH TO LATCH
ONTO FROM A MAJOR WEATHER FEATURE STANDPOINT...WITH EACH MODEL
INDICATING VARIOUS SHORT WAVES PASSING NEAR THE UPPER LAKES.  FOR
NOW A BASICALLY DRY FORECAST WILL BE IN THE WORKS FOR THE
SUNDAY-WEDNESDAY TIME FRAME...WITH TEMPERATURES RETURNING TO NEAR
SEASONABLE READINGS BY MONDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 121 AM EDT THU AUG 9 2012

LOW PRESSURE SLIDING SOUTH OF THE GREAT LAKES WILL PRODUCE RAIN
ACROSS LWR MICHIGAN OVERNIGHT AND INTO THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT.
SHOWERS ARE MOVING INTO NORTHWEST LOWER /MBL-TVC-PLN/ AS OF THIS
WRITING...AND THROUGH DAYBREAK WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS
NORTHERN LOWER...REACHING APN TOWARDS DAYBREAK. POST
DAYBREAK...RAIN WILL BE HEAVIEST AT MBL/TVC WITH MORE SHOWERY
PRECIPITATION FURTHER NORTHER. WHILE VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD
DOMINATE THROUGH EARLY MORNING...DETERIORATION TO MVFR IS
EXPECTED BY MID TO LATE THURSDAY MORNING AS MORE AMPLE LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE ADVECTS INTO THE REGION. LIGHT WINDS OVERNIGHT WILL
BECOME E/NE AOB 10 KTS ON THURSDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
ISSUED AT 318 PM EDT WED AUG 8 2012

TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...OVERNIGHT, THE WINDS WILL WILL BE WEAK AS
THE GRADIENT WILL CONTINUE TO BE RATHER SLACK WITH THE HIGH
PRESSURE SYSTEM. BY THURSDAY THE HIGH WILL REMAIN IN PLACE, BUT AN
AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE INTO THE OHIO VALLEY TIGHTENING THE
GRADIENT, INCREASING THE WINDS. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WOULD BE
POSSIBLE BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON, BUT MORE LIKELY THEY WILL BE
NEEDED FOR THURSDAY NIGHT. GALES WILL BE POSSIBLE AS THE LOW MOVES
INTO LAKE ERIE AND CONTINUES TO TIGHTEN THE GRADIENT IN LAKE
HURON.
