HEAT ISLAND WHERE TEMPERATURES COULD STAY IN THE LOWER 30S. THESE
CONDITIONS WARRANT ISSUING A FREEZE WARNING AS A WIDESPREAD HARD
FREEZE HAS NOT YET GRIPPED THE REGION. THEREFORE WILL ISSUE A
FREEZE WARNING THROUGH 9 AM THURSDAY MORNING WHEN TEMPERATURES
SHOULD RISE ABOVE THE FREEZING MARK.

ACROSS THE MARINE AREAS WINDS ARE SLOWLY DYING DOWN ACROSS SAGINAW
BAY AND THE TIP OF THE THUMB. HOWEVER RESIDUAL WAVE ACTION SHOULD
KEEP WAVES ELEVATED ACROSS THE NORTHERN TWO NEARSHORE ZONES
THROUGH THE NIGHT. WILL EXTEND THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY THROUGH
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS ACROSS THESE ZONES WITH A GALE WATCH IN EFFECT
THURSDAY MORNING FOR ALL OF LAKE HURON WITH CONTINUED GUSTY WINDS
EXPECTED. GIVEN THE CURRENT HEADLINES WILL HOLD OFF ON MAKING A
DECISION ON HOW TO HANDLE THE GALE WATCH.

//DISCUSSION...

EXTENSIVE STRATOCU FIELD IS CURRENTLY HANGING TOUGH ACROSS THE
CENTRAL GREAT LAKES AS COLD AIR MOVES ACROSS THE WARM LAKES. THE
MAIN QUESTION THIS EVENING IS HOW MUCH OF THIS DECK WILL ERODE THIS
EVENING WITH THE LOSS OF SUNSHINE AND DRIER AIR ADVECTING IN FROM
THE WEST. CURRENT THINKING IS SIMILAR TO PREVIOUS SET OF TAFS...WITH
THESE CLOUDS EXPECTED TO DIMINISH FROM SOUTH TO NORTH AFTER 03Z AS
THE LOW LEVEL FLOW BACKS MORE TOWARD THE SOUTHWEST AND LOW LEVEL DRY
AIR ADVECTION REMAINS PERSISTENT. WIND GUSTS SHOULD SUBSIDE
SHORTLY...WITH A PERSISTENT WESTERLY WIND OF 10 TO 15 KNOTS
REMAINING THROUGH THE NIGHT. SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO
PICK UP THURSDAY MORNING...GUSTING TO 25 TO 30 KNOTS AT THE TAF
SITES THROUGHOUT THE DAYTIME HOURS WITH A PERSISTENT TIGHT PRESSURE
GRADIENT IN PLACE..

FOR DTW...THE EXPECTATION IS FOR STRATO CU BASED IN THE 4000 TO 5000
FT LATER TO PERSIST WELL INTO THE EVENING. THERE IS A CHANCE HOWEVER
THAT THE CLOUD BASES MAY OCCASIONALLY LIFT TO 6000 FT. THE STRONGER
WIND GUSTS SHOULD DIMINISH BELOW 20 KNOTS AROUND 00Z...HOWEVER
CONTINUED LOW LEVEL COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL PERSIST THROUGH 02Z.
WINDS WILL LIKELY REMAIN IN THE 10 TO 15 KNOT RANGE WELL INTO THE
EVENING.

//DTW THRESHOLD THREATS...

* MEDIUM CONFIDENCE CEILING HEIGHTS AT OR BELOW 5000 FT THIS
  EVENING. LOW CONFIDENCE ON TIMING OF CLEARING TONIGHT.

.PREV DISCUSSION...ISSUED 331 PM EDT WED OCT 10 2012

SHORT TERM...THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT

THE RATHER COLD AND BLUSTERY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE INTO THE
EVENING AS THE LOW LEVEL THERMAL TROUGH /850MB TEMPS DOWN TO -5 C/
DOES NOT ROTATE ACROSS SE MI UNTIL 00-03Z. INSTABILITY OFF LAKE
MICHIGAN ALONG WITH DIURNAL DESTABILIZATION UNDER A FAIRLY
IMPRESSIVE MID LEVEL COLD POOL /500MB TEMPS DOWN TO -28C/ ALLOWED
SCATTERED SHOWERS TO IMPACT PORTIONS OF THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON.
THERE HAVE EVEN BEEN A FEW REPORTS OF SMALL GRAUPEL/HAIL WITHIN SOME
OF THIS CONVECTION. THE MID LEVEL TROUGH AXIS AND ASSOCIATED COLD
POOL WILL MOVE TO THE EAST OF THE AREA DURING THE REMAINDER OF THE
AFTERNOON...WITH MID LEVEL SUBSIDENCE RAPIDLY OVERSPREADING THE
FORECAST AREA FROM THE WEST. THIS SHOULD END ANY RESIDUAL SHOWER
ACTIVITY BY EARLY THIS EVENING.

AS IS MOST OFTEN THE CASE WITH THESE EARLY AUTUMN COLD SNAPS...THE
OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURE FORECAST WILL BE ONE OF LOW CONFIDENCE
RESULTING TO THE UNCERTAINTY IN CLOUD TRENDS. THE STRONG SFC HIGH
NOW CENTERED OVER MISSOURI WILL QUICKLY TRACK INTO THE UPPER OH/TN
VALLEYS TONIGHT. THIS WILL SUSTAIN WESTERLY FLOW IN THE BOUNDARY
LAYER OVER SRN LAKE MI THROUGH ROUGHLY 06Z. THE INSTABILITY OFF THE
LAKE ALONG WITH A DEEPENING SUBSIDENCE INVERSION SHOULD PROVE
SUFFICIENT IN SUSTAINING A STRATO CU FIELD OFF LAKE MI DESPITE
CONTINUED LOW LEVEL DRY AIR ADVECTION FROM THE WEST. THE LOSS OF
DAYTIME HEATING THIS EVENING MAY ALLOW SOME LARGE BREAKS IN THE
CLOUDS...WHICH SHOULD FILL IN LATER IN THE EVENING. THE FLOW WILL
BACK MORE TOWARD THE SOUTHWEST AFTER 06Z...WHICH WILL ADVECT WARMER
AND DRIER LOW LEVEL AIR ACROSS THE LAKE AND SHOULD LEAD TO AN
EROSION OF THE STRATUS DECK FROM SOUTH TO NORTH DURING THE
OVERNIGHT. MEANWHILE...MID AND HIGH CLOUDS WILL ALREADY BE ADVANCING
IN FROM THE WEST AHEAD OF THE NEXT SYSTEM. THE EXPECTED CLOUD COVER
AND LIGHT SFC WINDS THROUGH THE NIGHT WILL SUPPORT HOLDING MIN TEMPS
IN THE LOW-MID 30S. IF HOWEVER CONDITIONS CLEAR MORE QUICKLY THEN
EXPECTED /WHICH IS MORE PROBABLY SOUTH OF I-94/...SUBFREEZING TEMPS
WILL BE POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT.

LONG TERM...

FAST UPPER LEVEL NORTHWEST FLOW WILL DRIVE ANOTHER COLD FRONT
THROUGH SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN LATE TOMORROW/TOMORROW EVENING. THIS FRONT
WILL HAVE LESS MOISTURE TO WORK WITH AND NOT AS MUCH UPPER LEVEL
SUPPORT AS THE MAIN PV CENTER SLIDES JUST NORTH OF MICHIGAN. IN
ADDITION...THE WARM ADVECTION OUT AHEAD OF THE FRONT LOOKS TO BE A
BIT LESS COMPARED TO YESTERDAY...ALONG WITH THE COLDER START...LOOKING
AT MAXES PREDOMINATELY IN THE UPPER 50S TO AROUND 60 DEGREES.
MODEL CONSENSUS IS FOR A RATHER INACTIVE FRONT...AND WILL BE
CARRYING JUST LOW POPS TOMORROW INTO TOMORROW NIGHT.

ANOTHER HEALTHY SHOT OF COLD ADVECTION THURSDAY NIGHT INTO
FRIDAY...WITH 850 MB TEMPS FORECASTED TO FALL TO AROUND -5 C...AND
LIKELY LOOKING AT LOWER 50S FOR HIGHS ON FRIDAY. UNLIKE TODAYS
WESTERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW...THE FLOW IS NORTHWEST...SO IT IS DOUBTFUL
LAKE EFFECT WILL MAKE IT INTO THE CWA WITH THE AMOUNT OF DRY AIR
AROUND...AND CERTAINLY SHOULD SEE MORE SUNSHINE.

THE WEEKEND WILL TURN WET AND MILDER...AS UPPER LEVEL LOW JUST OFF
THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA COAST OPENS UP AND HEADS
NORTHEASTWARD...AFTER DROPPING SOUTH TOWARD BAJA CALIFORNIA INTIALLY.
RAIN IS LIKELY WITH BOTH THE WARM FRONTAL FORCING AND COLD FRONT
SWINGING THROUGH ON SUNDAY...AS THE LOW UNDERGOES DECENT
CYCLOGENESIS TRACKING THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES REGION...PER 12Z EUROPEAN.

UPPER LEVEL NORTHWEST FLOW WILL RESUME EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH
12Z GFS/EURO BEEN INDICATING SOME SEMBLANCE OF A SHORTWAVE
TROUGH/COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH ON WEDNESDAY...SUPPORTING A
RENEWED CHANCE OF RAIN WITH MILDER TEMPS.

MARINE...

LOW PRESSURE WILL QUICKLY ADVANCE INTO THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES
THURSDAY MORNING. AS THIS SYSTEM APPROACHES...THE WINDS WILL BACK
FROM WEST TO NORTHWEST. THE GRADIENT WILL WEAKEN A BIT...ALLOWING
THE GUSTS TO FALL BELOW 25 KNOTS OVERNIGHT. THE SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL
STRENGTHEN AGAIN ON THURSDAY IN ADVANCE OF ANOTHER COLD FRONT.
MARGINALLY UNSTABLE CONDITIONS OVER THE LAKE WILL POSE THE RISK OF
GALE FORCE WIND GUSTS...ESPECIALLY FROM SAGINAW BAY ACROSS CENTRAL
LAKE HURON. WITH STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY AS TO THE STABILITY PROFILE
OVER THE LAKE...A GALE WATCH WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR LAKE HURON.
GUSTY WINDS WILL PERSIST IN THE COLD AIR ADVECTION IN THE WAKE OF
THE COLD FRONT THURSDAY NIGHT. STRONG HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD
IN BY FRIDAY ALLOWING WINDS AND WAVES TO SUBSIDE. ANOTHER LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO MOVE INTO THE REGION THIS
WEEKEND...WHICH WILL LEAD TO INCREASED WINDS AND WAVES.
