AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI
355 PM EDT SUN APR 22 2012
.SHORT TERM...THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT
NORTHEASTERLY FLOW WILL STRENGTHEN TONIGHT AS A DEEPENING
CYCLOGENESIS EVENT TAKES PLACE OVER THE MIDATLANTIC COAST. MODELS
INDICATE DRY AIR WILL BE DRAWN SOUTHWARD OUT OF CANADA ALONG THE
PERIMETER OF THE MIDLEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM. FOR TONIGHT...AS
INSOLATION WANES AND THE NEAR SURFACE INVERSION BUILDS EXPECT NO
MORE THAN PASSING HIGH CLOUD. SUSTAINED WINDS OVERNIGHT WILL REMAIN
MORE ELEVATED THAN LAST NIGHT WITH MAGNITUDES REMAINING AT/AROUND 10
MPH THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT. TEMPERATURES TONIGHT ARE EXPECTED TO
RESIDE IN THE 32 TO 36 DEGREE RANGE IN MOST AREAS. WILL FORGO THE
ISSUANCE OF ANY FROST/FREEZE HEADLINES.
&&
.LONG TERM... MONDAY THROUGH NEXT SUNDAY
THE 12Z MODELS HAVE CONVERGED SOMEWHAT ON A SOLUTION FOR THE WESTERN
EDGE OF MOISTURE NEAR THE THUMB ASSOCIATED WITH THE LARGE EAST COAST
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM, ENOUGH TO ADD A CHANCE POP TO THE FORECAST
MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY. THAT BEING SAID, THERE IS STILL A LOT TO
SORT OUT IN THE EVOLUTION OF THIS SYSTEM. THE PHASING, DEEPENING,
AND FEEDBACK PROCESSES ARE VERY COMPLEX AND ENERGETIC. THESE
PROCESSES ARE ALSO OCCURRING ON THE BACKGROUND OF LONG WAVE
AMPLIFICATION DRIVEN BY A LARGE TROUGH CONTINUING TO DEEPEN OVER
THE EASTERN PACIFIC. IF THERE IS ANYTHING TO HELP NUDGE THE
FORECAST IT MAY BE THE TENDENCY FOR THE LONG WAVE RIDGE TO BUILD
TO A POSITION A BIT FARTHER WEST OVER THE ROCKIES. THIS COMBINED
WITH THE STRONG PHASING AND DEEPENING OF SHORT WAVE FEATURES IN
THE EASTERN SYSTEM FAVORS THE WESTWARD ADJUSTMENT OF THE
PRECIPITATION SHIELD SHOWN IN THE LATEST MODEL DATA. IT SHOULD
ALSO FAVOR A WESTWARD ADJUSTMENT TO THE LOW LEVEL THERMAL TROUGH
AS WELL WHICH MEANS A BOUNDARY LAYER COLD ENOUGH TO MAKE
PRECIPITATION TYPE A CONCERN. THERE IS QUITE A BIT LESS AGREEMENT
IN THE MODEL DATA ON THIS ASPECT OF THE FORECAST. THE NAM IS
EASILY COLD ENOUGH FOR SNOW BUT IT LIKELY HAS A COLD BIAS DUE THE
HIGHER PRECIPITATION RATE ON THE WESTERN FLANK OF THE SYSTEM IN
ITS SOLUTION. THE GFS LOW LEVEL THICKNESS FORECAST IS COLD ENOUGH
FOR A MIX BUT ITS FORECAST SOUNDING INDICATES A FREEZING LEVEL
NEAR 1500 FEET AT THE COLDEST POINT OF THE EVENT WHICH IS ON THE
WARM SIDE FOR SNOW REACHING THE SURFACE. ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, A
CHANCE POP FOR A RAIN/SNOW MIX IN THE THUMB WILL BE A GOOD START.
BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES SHARPENED BY A STRONG NORTHERLY WIND
REMAINS A MUCH LESS SOLUTION SENSITIVE PART OF THE FORECAST. STRONG
GRADIENT WIND WILL BE ENSURED BY THE SURFACE LOW DEEPENING TO 985 MB
BEFORE FILLING A BIT AS IT PIVOTS TOWARD THE EAST END OF LAKE
ONTARIO. MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATE DEEP BOUNDARY LAYER MIXING TO JUST
ABOVE 800 MB DURING MONDAY AFTERNOON. THIS WILL ALLOW NORTHERLY WIND
GUSTS TO INCREASE A NOTCH TOWARD 40 MPH WITH TEMPERATURES FEELING
THAT MUCH CHILLIER THAN LOWER 50S COMPARED TO TODAY.
THIS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL FINALLY LIFT FARTHER INTO QUEBEC
TUESDAY AFTERNOON INTO THURSDAY EVENING. THE RESULTING DIMINISHED
NORTHERLY WIND WILL ALONE WILL PERMIT A MODEST TEMPERATURE
REBOUND, AT LEAST AWAY FROM THE LAKE HURON SHORELINE, WITH MAX
TEMPS PUSHING THE MID 50S. THE CHALLENGE IN THE FORECAST THEN
SHIFTS TO THE CHARACTER OF SHORT WAVES IN NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT
OVER THE GREAT LAKES. TODAY'S RUNS OF THE NAM AND GFS CORRECTLY
TAKE EMPHASIS OFF THE SHEARED SHORT WAVE ENERGY THAT IS EXPECTED
TO LEAD A NEW ROUND OF HEIGHT FALLS INTO THE GREAT LAKES LATER
WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. THE LARGER UPPER TROUGH WILL REPRESENT
THE NEXT BEST CHANCE OF RAIN IN OUR AREA DURING THIS TIME.
AGREEMENT IS THEN GOOD AMONG THE INDIVIDUAL GLOBAL MODEL SOLUTIONS
REGARDING THE EXIT TIMING OF THIS SYSTEM WHICH WILL OPEN THE DOOR
ON A NEW ROUND OF BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES BY FRIDAY AS DRY
NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT AND CANADIAN SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BECOME
ESTABLISHED OVER THE GREAT LAKES. THE SILVER LINING IS THAT THE
COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY LIGHT WIND. THIS ALONG
WITH OTHERWISE DRY CONDITIONS THROUGH SATURDAY WILL MAKE MAX TEMPS
CLOSER TO 50 A LITTLE EASIER TO TAKE. THE BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES WILL BE ENSURED BY THE MATURE HIGH AMPLITUDE LONG
WAVE PATTERN THAT IS FINALLY SHOWN TO BEGIN BREAKING DOWN BY
SUNDAY, A PROCESS THAT INTRODUCES CONSIDERABLE PREDICTABILITY
CHALLENGES IN BOTH THE TIMING OF THE PATTERN SHIFT AND RESULTING
CHARACTER OF SMALLER SCALE FEATURES. AT THIS POINT, IT DOES LOOK
LIKE WE MAKE IT THROUGH MOST OF THE WEEKEND WITH DRY WEATHER
BEFORE THE LARGER SCALE CHANGES BRING UNSETTLED CONDITIONS INTO
THE GREAT LAKES.

.MARINE...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL RAPIDLY STRENGTHEN OVER THE MID ATLANTIC
THIS EVENING AND WILL SLOWLY LIFT NORTHWARD TOWARD QUEBEC THROUGH
TUESDAY. THIS WILL FACILITATE A LONG-DURATION NORTHERLY WIND EVENT.
FOR TONIGHT...STEADY DETERIORATION OF CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE AS
WAVE HEIGHTS BUILD IN RESPONSE TO STEADILY INCREASING WINDS TO NEAR
GALE FORCE BY MONDAY MORNING. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES ARE IN EFFECT
FOR ALL NEARSHORE ZONES. MUCH OF THE AREA WATERS ARE UNDER A GALE
WATCH FOR MONDAY. ALTHOUGH WINDS MAY TEMPORARILY SUBSIDE MONDAY
NIGHT...NORTHWEST GALES MAY REDEVELOP OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF LAKE
HURON ON TUESDAY. THEREFORE...THE GALE WATCH FOR MUCH OF LAKE HURON
IS IN EFFECT THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

//DISCUSSION...
DEEPENING NORTHEASTERLY FLOW WITHIN A RAPIDLY ORGANIZING LONGWAVE
TROUGH IS KEEPING SOME LOW LEVEL MOISTURE LOCKED IN PLACE ACROSS
PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES. A GRAVITY WAVE OR VERY LOCAL
FORCING WORKED FROM NE TO SW ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA AND AIDED IN A
QUICK DEVELOPMENT OF A STRATOCUMULUS DECK ACROSS FAR SOUTHERN LOWER
MICHIGAN LATE THIS MORNING. THIS HAS SINCE MIXED OUT AND WILL
REFRAIN FROM CARRYING A SUB 5 KFT DECK THROUGHOUT THE REMAINDER OF
THE AFTERNOON HOURS. TONIGHT...LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING WILL ALLOW
CLOUD FRAGMENTS TO DISSIPATE WITH ONLY HIGH CLOUD MOISTURE TO IMPACT
THE TERMINALS. SUSTAINED NORTHEASTERLY FLOW OF 10 TO 12 KNOTS CAN BE
EXPECTED TO PERSIST THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT WITH LITTLE TO NO GUSTY
COMPONENT. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE FROM THE EAST COAST SYSTEM WILL BE
SLOW TO WRAP INTO AND BACKDOOR TO THE WEST. WILL NOT INCLUDE ANY
EXPECTED LOW-MID CLOUDS THROUGH EARLY TOMORROW AFTERNOON.
//DTW THRESHOLD THREATS...
