AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
336 PM EDT MON SEP 10 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 259 PM EDT MON SEP 10 2012

HIGH PRESSURE WAS CENTERED OVER DETROIT THIS AFTERNOON. THIS HIGH
WILL SLIDE TO THE EAST COAST TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...WHILE A COOL
FRONT ADVANCES THROUGH THE PLAINS. BREEZY SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL
RESULT...PROPELLING TEMPERATURES TO MUCH ABOVE NORMAL BOTH DAYS. A
COOL FRONT WILL SLOWLY SAG THROUGH THE REGION...WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO
THURSDAY...WITH A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS. THIS FRONT WILL RETURN
TEMPERATURES TO NEAR NORMAL THROUGH THE WEEKEND. WEAK LOW PRESSURE
WILL FORM ON THE FRONT OVER THE OHIO VALLEY...FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.
THIS WILL BRING ANOTHER CHANCE OF RAIN EACH DAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 259 PM EDT MON SEP 10 2012

ON THE LATEST SURFACE WEATHER MAP...1024 MB HIGH PRESSURE WAS
CENTERED ACROSS SOUTHEAST LOWER MICHIGAN WHILE 994 MB LOW PRESSURE
WAS OVER CENTRAL SASKATCHEWAN. SATELLITE IMAGERY AND SURFACE
OBSERVATIONS SHOWED SUNNY TO PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES ACROSS NORTHERN
MICHIGAN. THE MAIN SHORT TERM FORECAST CONCERNS ARE MINIMAL WITH
LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT THE MAIN FOCUS.

TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WILL SLOWLY EDGE OFF TO OUR
EAST. AS LOW PRESSURE WELL TO OUR NORTHWEST EDGES TO THE EAST THE
SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT INCREASES...THIS WILL MAKE FOR GUSTY
WINDS...MAINLY DURING THE DAY TUESDAY. OVERALL...SKIES ARE
EXPECTED TO BE MOSTLY CLEAR THROUGH THE PERIOD. TEMPERATURES
TONIGHT ARE A BIT TRICKY...UPPER LEVEL WINDS INCREASE...BUT
SURFACE SHOULD REMAIN LARGELY DECOUPLED INLAND. THEREFORE...EXPECT
TEMPERATURES TO TO FALL OFF INTO THE MIDDLE AND UPPER 40S ACROSS
NORTHEAST LOWER...AND RANGE TO NEAR 60 NEAR THE LAKE MICHIGAN
SHORELINE. DECENT WARM ADVECTION TUESDAY...LEADING TO HIGHS OF
WELL INTO THE 70S TO THE LOWER 80S.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 259 PM EDT MON SEP 10 2012

TUESDAY NIGHT...AFTER THE PASSAGE OF THE MOISTURE STARVED WARM FRONT
SKIES WILL REMAIN MOSTLY CLEAR WITH GUSTY SOUTHWEST FLOW KEEPING
TEMPERATURES WELL INTO THE 60S OVERNIGHT.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...SKIES WILL REMAIN MOSTLY CLEAR THROUGH
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON..AS A COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH A LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM OVER HUDSON BAY BEGINS TO SAG INTO EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN.
MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS COLD FRONT IS ALSO VERY MINIMAL...WITH
CLOUD COVER NOT EXPECTED TO BEGIN INCREASING UNTIL WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
WITH THE MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS AND 850MB
TEMPERATURES AROUND 14 TO 16 DEGREES CELSIUS...EXPECT MIXING TO
PRODUCE DAYTIME TEMPERATURES AROUND THE MID TO UPPER 70S ACROSS
EASTERN UPPER AND UPPER 70S TO MID 80S OVER NORTHERN LOWER.
FAVORABLE AREAS FOR SOUTHWESTERLY DOWNSLOPING WINDS ACROSS
NORTHEASTERN LOWER COULD SEE TEMPERATURES RISE A FEW DEGREES WARMER
(UPPER 80S). AS MOISTURE INCREASES ALONG THE FRONT COMBINED WITH
INCREASING  VORTICITY AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING LONG WAVE TROUGH AND
DIURNAL HEATING LATE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON COULD SEE SOME SHOWERY
ACTIVITY DEVELOP IN EASTERN UPPER. AS MOISTURE...LIFT AND
INSTABILITY INCREASES THROUGH THE NIGHT...CHANCES FOR RAIN WILL ALSO
INCREASE. MODELS HAVE BEEN GETTING WETTER...ESPECIALLY THE
GFS...SHOWS PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS OVER PARTS OF NORTHERN LOWER WITH
OVER AN INCH (MOST AGGRESSIVE MODEL YET)...BUT IN LOOKING AT SREF
PROBABILITIES RAIN IS LIKELY TO OCCUR AND WILL STAY WITH AMOUNTS OF
NEAR A QUARTER OF AN INCH THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT FOR NOW AND REVAMP
AS CONFIDENCE BECOMES HIGHER. LOW TEMPERATURES THURSDAY MORNING WILL
REMAIN MILD UNDER THE CLOUD COVER AND LIGHT SOUTHERLY FLOW WITH LOWS
RANGING FROM THE UPPER 50S TO LOW 60S. THE BEST CHANCE FOR RAIN IN
THIS PERIOD (WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT) APPEARS TO BE OVER
NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN THURSDAY AND INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. WITH
LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE FROM THE SOUTH AND 700MB OMEGA MAXIMIZING ALONG
THE FRONT ALONG WITH A VORT MAX ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEEPENING 500 MB
TROUGH ALL COMBINING. WITH INCREASED CLOUD COVER AND THE COLD FRONT
PASSING THROUGH NORTHERN MICHIGAN...HIGH TEMPERATURES THURSDAY WILL
ONLY BE IN THE MID 60S OVER EASTERN UPPER AND 70S ACROSS NORTHERN
LOWER. AFTER 00Z FRIDAY MOST CHANCES FOR ANY RAIN WILL BE OVER
NORTHERN LOWER AS DRIER AIR IS ENTRAINED BEHIND THE COLD FRONT OVER
EASTERN UPPER. LOW TEMPERATURES FRIDAY MORNING WILL BE NEAR
NORMAL...ONLY DROPPING INTO THE MID 50S.

FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...THE GFS CLOSES OFF A 500MB LOW OVER THE
SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES REGION...TRACKING FROM THE CHICAGO AREA
THROUGH PORT HURON AND INTO ONTARIO...AS LONG AS THIS HOLDS UP WE
WILL HAVE OUR GREATEST CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION WITH SOME PARTS OF
NORTHERN LOWER POSSIBLY ENDING UP WITH PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS IN
EXCESS OF ONE INCH BY THE END OF SUNDAY. OF COURSE THERE IS
UNCERTAINTY WITH THIS FORECAST DUE TO THE EXTENDED TIME
FRAME...BUT AS MENTIONED EARLIER...MODELS ARE BEGINNING TO ALL
AGREE THAT IT WILL HAPPEN...JUST WHERE EXACTLY IT WILL TRACK STILL
DIFFERS. THE LATEST LOW RES EURO HAS DEEPENED THE CLOSED LOW AND
HAS IT TRACKING RIGHT THROUGH NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN. THIS COULD
END UP BEING A 2 OR 3 DAY RAIN EVENT...WILL DEFINITELY CONTINUE TO
MONITOR THIS SITUATION...AS MUCH NEEDED RAINFALL WOULD BE
BENEFICIAL. ONE THING THAT SEEMS CERTAIN IS THAT WE WILL BE IN A
CONTINUED REGIME OF NORMAL TO NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR THIS
TIME OF THE YEAR.

MONDAY...CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION WILL FINALLY BEGIN TO MOVE OFF
INTO ONTARIO WITH THE LINGERING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM...PROVIDING A
NARROW RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE TO BUILD OVER NORTHERN MICHIGAN
GENERATING PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES...BREEZY WESTERLY WINDS AND HIGH
TEMPERATURES NEAR 70 DEGREES...BEFORE ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM BEARS
DOWN ON NORTHERN MICHIGAN LATE MONDAY NIGHT.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY AFTERNOON)
