AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
1157 PM EDT WED OCT 3 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 354 PM EDT WED OCT 3 2012

AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL LIFT INTO THE REGION TODAY INTO
TONIGHT...WITH ANOTHER SYSTEM MOVING IN THURSDAY NIGHT. THESE
SYSTEMS WILL BRING CHANCES FOR RAIN TO NORTHERN MICHIGAN. A BROAD
UPPER TROUGH WILL THEN SETTLE OVER THE STATE FRIDAY...GENERATING
MUCH COLDER AIR AND LAKE INDUCED RAIN SHOWERS THIS WEEKEND.

&&

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1036 PM EDT WED OCT 3 2012

NMRS SHOWERS CONTINUE TO IMPACT MUCH OF NRN LWR MICHIGAN AND FAR
ERN UPR MICHIGAN LATE THIS EVENING AS THE STRONG SHORT WAVE LIFTS
NORTHWARD THRU LWR MICHIGAN. LITTLE WILL CHANGE AS WE HEAD INTO
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. WAVE WILL LIFT THRU NE LWR MICHIGAN...WITH
LIKELY POPS SPREADING INTO VIRTUALLY ALL OF OUR CWA THROUGHOUT THE
NIGHT. HAVE MADE SOME MINOR UPWARD ADJUSTMENTS TO POPS BASED ON
LATEST RADAR TRENDS. A RELATIVELY MILD NIGHT IS IN STORE FOR THE
NORTHWOODS...WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS ONLY FALLING TO A COUPLE OF
DEGREES EITHER SIDE OF 50 DEGREES.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 731 PM EDT WED OCT 3 2012

SCATTERED SHOWER ACTIVITY CONTINUES TO GRADUALLY EXPAND THIS
EVENING ACROSS MUCH OF NRN LWR MICHIGAN AND FAR ERN UPR MICHIGAN
AS A RATHER STRONG SHORT WAVE AND ASSOCIATED DEEP MOISTURE LIFT
INTO LWR MICHIGAN. THIS TREND WILL CONTINUE THRU THE NIGHT...WITH
MOST AREAS RECEIVING SOME RAIN. GOING FORECAST IS HANDING THIS
SITUATION WELL...SO NO ADJUSTMENTS NEEDED AT THIS TIME.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 354 PM EDT WED OCT 3 2012

CURRENTLY, HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE REGION HAS BEEN RETREATING, WITH A
WEAKENING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM LOWER MICHIGAN. THIS HAS PRODUCED
SCATTERED LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS, MAINLY SOUTH OF M-32, ALTHOUGH THERE
HAVE BEEN SPRINKLES NORTH OF THIS AREA.

TONIGHT...THE SFC LOW AND A 500 MB JET STREAK CONTINUE NORTH INTO
THE FORECAST AREA, PROVIDING THE IMPETUS FOR RAIN SHOWERS,
ESPECIALLY ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE STATE AS A DEFORMATION ZONE SETS
UP, CONTINUING THE SATURATION PROCESS AND MAKING IT RAIN OVERNIGHT.

THURSDAY...THE WARM FRONT WILL BE THROUGH THE REGION IN THE
AFTERNOON AS THE SFC LOW MOVES THROUGH THE MINNESOTA ARROWHEAD AND
BEGINS TO WRAP UP NORTH OF LAKE SUPERIOR. THIS WILL THRUST THE COLD
FRONT WEST INTO MICHIGAN. AT THIS POINT, IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS
MAINLY RAIN SHOWERS, BUT SOUNDINGS SHOW A LITTLE POSITIVE ENERGY, SO
CAN'T RULE OUT ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS LATE IN THE AFTERNOON AS THE
RAIN MOVES THROUGH THE REGION.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 354 PM EDT WED OCT 3 2012

LARGE SCALE ANALYSIS/FORECAST: MEAN LONG WAVE TROUGH CARVED OUT
ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH AMERICA...FLOW WITHIN THE TROUGH IS ACTUALLY
SPLIT WITH A SOUTHERN BRANCH WAVE OVER THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY...AND A NORTHERN BRANCH SHORT WAVE CROSSING THE NORTHERN
ROCKIES.  LONG WAVE TROUGH FLANKED BY RIDGING OVER THE WESTERN
ATLANTIC AND A REX BLOCK OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC.  STEADY/
STRENGTHENING PACIFIC REX BLOCK (500MB HEIGHTS FORECAST NEARLY +3.5
SD ABOVE THE MEAN ACROSS THE YUKON BY FRIDAY) WILL ENSURE THE
CENTRAL NORTH AMERICAN TROUGH REMAINS IN PLACE...WITH A SIGNIFICANT
COLD AIR DUMP INTO THE GREAT LAKES FOR THE END OF THE WEEK.

CONCERNS IN THE NEAR TERM PART OF THE LONG RANGE FORECAST WILL FOCUS
ON THE ONSET OF THE COLD AIR PUSH WITH THE ARRIVAL OF A COLD FRONT
THURSDAY NIGHT...AND RESULTANT PRECIPITATION ISSUES THROUGH THE
WEEKEND (INCLUDING PRECIP TYPE LEADING INTO THE EXTENDED).

THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY: AS MENTIONED ABOVE...COLD FRONT
WILL PUSH ACROSS NORTHERN MICHIGAN THURSDAY NIGHT...ARRIVING WITH A
BAND OF SHOWERS ALONG/AHEAD OF IT.  ALSO LOOKS LIKE A NARROW AXIS OF
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND COINCIDENT STEEPER MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES (IN
THE VICINITY OF 6.5C/KM 700-500MB LAYER)...AIDED BY ALONG FRONT QG
SUPPORT AND DIFLUENT UPPER FLOW AHEAD OF THE MAIN UPPER WAVE WHICH
IS EXPECTED TO LIFT NORTHEAST ACROSS MINNESOTA AND INTO NORTHERN
ONTARIO DURING THE NIGHT.  SO SOME EMBEDDED THUNDER NOT AN
UNREASONABLE ASSUMPTION.  ONCE THE FRONT SWEEPS ACROSS NORTHERN
MICHIGAN THURSDAY EVENING...DRY SLOT WRAPPING AROUND THE CLOSED LOW
TO THE NORTHWEST WILL OVERSPREAD NORTHERN MICHIGAN.  SO CURRENT
INDICATIONS ARE THAT PRECIPITATION WILL BE A FAIRLY QUICK SHOT (ON
THE ORDER OF 3-6 HOURS)...AND EVEN WITH STRONG COLD ADVECTION BEHIND
THE FRONT WITH 850MB TEMPERATURES SINKING TOWARD 0C BY FRIDAY
MORNING...INITIALLY LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE TOO DRY TO SUPPORT LAKE
CONVECTION.  WINDS ALSO EXPECTED TO BECOME GUSTY FROM THE WEST-
SOUTHWEST IN THE WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT THURSDAY NIGHT...ESPECIALLY
ALONG THE NORTHWEST LOWER SHORELINE WITH GALE FORCE WIND GUSTS
PROBABLE OUT ON THE BIG LAKE.

STRONG...DEEP LAYER CYCLONIC FLOW WILL BE IN PLACE ACROSS MICHIGAN
FRIDAY...BUT LOOKS DRY ACROSS MUCH OF LOWER MICHIGAN WITH SOME WRAP
AROUND MOISTURE ACROSS LAKE SUPERIOR AND INTO THE UPPER PENINSULA.
SO A BETTER CHANCE OF HYBRID DIURNAL/LAKE INDUCED CLOUDS AND PERHAPS
SOME SHOWERS (ESPECIALLY DURING THE AFTERNOON) ACROSS THE EASTERN
U.P. AND THE TIP OF THE MITT COUNTIES.  SOUTH OF THE STRAITS REGION
EXPECTED TO BE A MAINLY SUNNY BUT BREEZY DAY WITH WEST/SOUTHWEST
WIND GUSTS OF 30+ MPH EXPECTED.  HIGHS IN THE 40S/50S.

THINK NORTHERN LAKE MICHIGAN WILL BEGIN TO GET MORE ACTIVE FRIDAY
NIGHT...AS MOISTURE WRAPS IN FROM THE NORTH AND LOW/MID LEVEL
TEMPERATURES GET A BIT COLDER.  ALSO GETTING SOME LOW LEVEL
TROUGHINESS SLIDING IN FROM THE NORTHWEST OVERNIGHT...REMNANTS OF
INITIAL SURFACE LOW AND PROBABLY SOME LAKE AGGREGATE EFFECTS AS
WELL.  PRECIP TYPE MAY START TO GET DICEY OVERNIGHT AS WELL...
GETTING DOWN TOWARD THAT MAGIC -5C 850MB TEMPERATURE NEEDED THIS
TIME OF YEAR TO OVERCOME MARINE INFLUENCE AND ALLOW FOR FROZEN
PRECIP ACROSS INTERIOR NORTHERN LOWER.  THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WILL
NEED TO BE RE-VISITED GOING FORWARD.

SATURDAY LOOKS LIKE A MAINLY CLOUDY/SHOWERY DAY WITH COMBINATION
LAKE AND DIURNALLY INDUCED RAIN SHOWERS EXPECTED...AND CONTINUED
COOL WITH MOST LOCALES STRUGGLING TO CLIMB OUT OF THE 40S.

EXTENDED FORECAST (SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY): LATTER HALF OF THE
WEEKEND WILL FEATURE A COLD AIR MASS HAVING OVERSPREAD MUCH OF THE
CENTRAL AND EASTERN U.S....WITH THE GREAT LAKES BETWEEN SHORT WAVE
TROUGHS OVER THE MID MISSISSIPPI/OHIO RIVER VALLEYS...AND DROPPING
SOUTH OUT OF ONTARIO ON SUNDAY.  EXTENDED RANGE WILL BE PREDICATED
ON A SLOWER SHORT WAVE TROUGH SOLUTION SIMILAR TO THE ECMWF/GGEM
GUIDANCE...GFS IS QUICKER BUT TRENDING SLOWER WITH TIME.  SHOULD
STILL BE SOME LAKE CONVECTION ONGOING TO START SUNDAY...IF GRADIENT
RELAXES AS FORECAST MAY SEE MORE LOCAL EFFECTS COME INTO PLAY
IMPACTING LOW LEVEL WIND FLOW AND MAY TRY TO KEEP MUCH OF THE SHOWER
ACTIVITY CLOSER TO SHORE.  AS USUAL NOT A BIG FAN OF MESSING WITH
THESE MESOSCALE DETAILS AT A HIGHLY SYNOPTIC SCALE TIME FRAME...BUT
GETTING MORE CONFIDENT IN THROWING THE "S" WORD INTO THE INTERIOR
NORTHERN LOWER FORECAST FOR SATURDAY NIGHT/SUNDAY MORNING.  TRACK OF
THE SHORT WAVE CROSSING THE OHIO VALLEY WILL OF COURSE DETERMINE IF
IT HAS ANY IMPACT ON NORTHERN MICHIGAN...COULD SEE SOME BACKSIDE
DEFORMATION SHOWERS CREEP INTO SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST
AREA LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON/SUNDAY EVENING BUT THIS IS HIGHLY SUBJECT
TO CHANGE GOING FORWARD.  STILL LOOKS LIKE WARM ADVECTION WILL
COMMENCE MONDAY...WHICH MAY ALLOW US TO DRY THINGS OUT (AND WARM UP)
BEFORE A CLIPPER TYPE WAVE AND COLD FRONT ARRIVE IN THE WEDNESDAY
TIME FRAME TO COOL THINGS DOWN ONCE AGAIN.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1157 PM EDT WED OCT 3 2012

MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AT ALL TAF SITES OVERNIGHT AND INTO
THURSDAY MORNING AS SCT/NMRS SHOWERS CONTINUE TO IMPACT NRN LWR
MICHIGAN IN RESPONSE TO A STRONG SHORT WAVE AND DEEP MOISTURE
MOVING THRU OUR CWA. THIS WAVE AND ASSOCIATED MOISTURE WILL PULL
EAST OF OUR AREA BY AROUND MIDDAY THURSDAY. RAIN WILL END AND
CLOUDS WILL DIMINISH FROM WEST TO EAST LATE THURSDAY MORNING INTO
EARLY THURSDAY AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...RAIN CHANCES WILL AGAIN
INCREASE FROM WEST TO EAST TOWARD THURSDAY EVENING AS A COLD FRONT
MOVES THRU MICHIGAN. WINDS WILL REMAIN BELOW 10 KTS THRU THE
FORECAST PERIOD.

&&

.MARINE...
ISSUED AT 354 PM EDT WED OCT 3 2012

TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...WINDS AND WAVES WILL BE BELOW SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY LEVEL THROUGH TONIGHT AS THE HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO LEAVE
THE REGION, AND IS REPLACED BY A WEAKENING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WITH
A VERY SLACK GRADIENT. IT NOT UNTIL THURSDAY AFTERNOON, WHEN THE
NEXT COLD FRONT BEGINS TO MOVE THROUGH, AND THE GRADIENT TIGHTENS
UP. WE WILL BE SOLIDLY LOOKING AT SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES FOR
THURSDAY LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING.
