AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI
351 PM EST THU NOV 22 2012

.SHORT TERM... TONIGHT

AT PRESS TIME, FLINT WAS THE ONLY ONE OF THE BIG 3 CLIMATE STATIONS
IN SE MICHIGAN ABLE TO EXCEED ITS WARMEST THANKSGIVING THRESHOLD,
BUT ALL STATIONS WERE MAKING A STRONG RUN TO DO SO WITH READINGS
SOLIDLY INTO THE LOWER 60S JUST BEFORE PEAK HEATING. SEE THE RECORDS
BELOW AS TABULATED BY OUR MORNING CREW.

THICKENING HIGH CLOUDS DURING THE REST OF THE EVENING WILL MARK
MOISTURE INCREASING FROM THE SOUTH AHEAD OF A STRONG COLD FRONT
MOVING IN FROM THE WEST ON SCHEDULE TO MOVE THROUGH OUR AREA BEFORE
SUNRISE. RADAR COMPOSITES MATCH UP NICELY WITH MODEL ANALYSIS FIELDS
THAT SHOW HIGHER THETA-E AIR POOLING THROUGH THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
AND BEING DRAWN NORTHWARD AHEAD OF THE FRONT. DEEP MOISTURE
ADVECTION WILL CONTINUE TO HELP DESTABILIZE THE 850 TO 700 MB LAYER
AND RESULT IN SHOWERS SPREADING INTO LOWER MICHIGAN DURING THE
EVENING. WHILE THETA-E ADVECTION WILL BE THE MAIN DRIVER OF RAIN
EARLY, EXPECT THE MOISTURE AXIS TO INTERACT MORE DYNAMICALLY WITH
THE FRONT AND UPPER WAVE AFTER MIDNIGHT. DCVA AND STRONG CONVERGENCE
BELOW 850 MB WILL HELP FORM A SOLID AREA OF MODERATE RAIN ALONG AND
AHEAD OF THE FRONT WORTHY OF A CATEGORICAL PRECIP FORECAST AS THE
SYSTEM MOVES WEST TO EAST THROUGH THE REGION.

THE FRONT WILL SCOUR THE MOISTURE TO OUR EAST LATE IN THE NIGHT BUT
EARLY ENOUGH TO AVOID ANY INTERACTION WITH THE ADVANCING COLD AIR.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE SHARPLY COLDER BUT LIKELY NOT DROPPING BELOW
FREEZING UNTIL SURFACES DRY OUT LATER FRIDAY MORNING. THIS LEAVES
WESTERLY WIND GUSTS AS THE ONLY OTHER CONCERN TO MONITOR. AT THIS
POINT, THERE WILL BE AN ISALLOBARIC COMPONENT TO THE WIND FIELD BUT
NOT QUITE STRONG ENOUGH FOR HEADLINE CONCERNS IN THE NASCENT DRY
SLOT FORCING AND IN THE ABSENCE OF SURFACE HEATING.

RECORD      NOVEMBER      THANKSGIVING

SAGINAW    66 IN 1913    64 ON 11/26/1908 AND 11/26/1914

.LONG TERM...TOMORROW THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY

GFS AND NAM NOT TOO DIFFERENT IN THE CHARACTER OF THE DAY ON
FRIDAY...A DAY OF BIG CHANGES. NAM MAY HAVE A SLIGHTLY BETTER HANDLE
ON THE DETAILS...LIKE THE WIND AND LOW LEVEL THERMAL RESPONSE TO OUR
SYSTEM.  THEREFORE WILL FOLLOW THE NAM FOR FRIDAYS WIND GUSTS AND
TEMPERATURE FALL DURING THE DAY.

THREE MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS FOR FRIDAY...WINDS...SNOW SHOWERS AND
TEMPS.  THINK WILL HAVE AN OVERACHIEVING WIND DAY.  EVERYTHING IS IN
LINE FOR THAT...DEEPEN SURFACE SURFACE LOW THROUGH THE DAY MOVING
FROM THE NORTHERN LAKES INTO ONTARIO...DRY SLOT FOR THE
MORNING...285K AND 280K ISENTROPIC SURFACES INTERSECTING THE GROUND
WITH SYSTEM RELATIVE DECENT....BOUNDARY LAYER ALLOWING MIXING TO
1KM...925 MB WINDS INCREASE TO 35-40 KTS AND 850 MBS WINDS INCREASE
TO 45-50 KTS. GUIDANCE SUSTAINED WINDS ALREADY HAVE SUSTAINED WINDS
OF 18-24 KTS.  WILL HAVE GUSTS DURING THE DAY UP TO 40 KTS OR 45
MPH...WHICH WOULD BE WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA. GIVEN THAT IT WOULD BE
A 15Z TO 00Z EVENT...WILL MENTION IN THE HWO AT THIS TIME.

BETWEEN 15Z AND 18Z...THE MAIN UPPER LOW MOVES TOWARD THE REGION AND
PASSES THROUGH FROM 18Z TO 00Z. THERMAL PROFILES BY 15Z TO 18Z WOULD
SUGGEST ALL SNOW FOR THE FORECAST AREA. THIS WILL BRING DEEP
DEFORMATION FROM AT LEAST 700 TO 500 MBS. THERE IS GOOD LOW LEVEL
CONVERGENCE WITH CYCLONIC FLOW. MODELS INDICATED A RELATIVELY DEEP
CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL WITH INVERSIONS UP TO 8K TO 10K FEET AND
SURFACE BASED CAPES UP TO 100 J/KG. AND PLENTY OF MOISTURE THROUGH
THE CONVECTIVE COLUMN. ALL OF THESE FEATURES ARE MORE PRONOUNCED THE
FARTHER NORTH YOU GO ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA.  WILL RAISE POPS INTO
THE LIKELY CATEGORY FOR THE TRI CITIES AND THUMB...50 PCT FOR I-69
TO A 30 PCT NEAR THE OHIO BORDER. DO NOT THINK THERE IS MUCH THREAT
FOR ACCUMULATION UNDER THE SNOW SHOWERS. BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS MAY BE
TOO STRONG FOR ORGANIZED UPDRAFTS OR TO KEEP A SNOW SHOWERS OVER ONE
LOCATION TOO LONG. HOWEVER...THE CONVECTION MAY BE JUST ANOTHER
MECHANISM TO BRING DOWN THE WIND FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

WITH THE LOSS OF THE FORCING ON FRIDAY NIGHT AND INTO SATURDAY
MORNING...INVERSIONS LOWER.  THERE IS STILL A CONVECTIVE LAYER
AND PLENTY OF MOISTURE IN THERE...AND WILL GO WITH MORE CHANCE OF
SNOW SHOWERS OR FLURRIES.

INTO A WINTER A WINTER PATTERN AFTER THAT...TAKES ALL DAY SATURDAY
FOR THE CLOUDS TO BREAK UNDER THE SUBSIDENCE INVERSION.  WHEN THEY
FINAL BREAK SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...MID AND HIGH CLOUDS ARE
ONLY 3 TO 6 HOURS AWAY FROM THE NEXT WEAK SYSTEM LATE SATURDAY NIGHT
AND SUNDAY.  THAT WEAK SYSTEM HAS LITTLE FORCING AND THE BEST LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE IS ACROSS LAKE HURON AND NRN LOWER MI.  WILL JUST
HAVE FLURRIES ACROSS THE TRI CITIES AND THUMB.

EXTENDED CONCERNS ARE WITH THE SYSTEM FOR TUESDAY.  WIDE DIFFERENCES
IN THE MODELS AND ENSEMBLES.  THERE DOES SEEM TO BE THREE MODES
REPRESENTED BY BOTH THE OPERATIONAL MODELS AND THE ENSEMBLES. THOSE
INCLUDE THE ECMWF LIKE WEAK SYSTEM THAT GOES WELL SOUTH OF THE AREA
AND MEEKLY OUT TO SEA...THE GFS LIKE STRONGER SYSTEM OVER THE OHIO
VALLEY AND UP THE APPALACHIANS...OR THE CANADIAN LIKE EVEN STRONGER
SYSTEM THAT TRAVERSES MI. OF COURSE THE WEATHER WOULD VARY QUITE A
BIT FROM DRY...TO ALL SNOW...TO ALL RAIN.  SINCE WE ARE FIVE DAYS
AWAY...WILL KEEP WITH THE CHANCE OF RAIN AND SNOW. MODELS PROBABLY
WILL NOT GET A BETTER HANDLE UNTIL SUNDAY OR SUNDAY NIGHT WHEN THE
JET ENERGY GETS INTO THE RADIOSONDE NETWORK OVER THE PACIFIC NW.

ONE THING THAT IS CLEAR WHATEVER ROUTE IS TAKEN...IN THE WAKE OF THE
TUESDAY SYSTEM IS EVEN COLDER AIR.  WILL GO COOLER THAN MEX
GUIDANCE...CLOSER TO WHAT THE ECMWF WOULD INDICATE FOR TEMPS.

&&

.MARINE...

LOW PRESSURE MOVING ALONG THE NORTH SHORE OF LAKE SUPERIOR WILL
DRIVE A STRONG COLD FRONT THROUGH LAKE HURON AND LOWER MICHIGAN
TONIGHT. THIS SYSTEM CONTINUES TO GAIN STRENGTH FROM THE SHARP
TEMPERATURE CONTRAST ACROSS THE FRONT. WIND GUST EXPECTATIONS ARE
NOW HIGHER AS A RESULT AND GALE WARNINGS ARE IN EFFECT STARTING
FRIDAY MORNING FOR ALL MARINE AREAS. GUSTS TO 35 KNOTS ARE EXPECTED
EVEN OVER LAND AREAS OF SE MICHIGAN FEEDING INTO LAKE ST CLAIR AND
THE MICHIGAN WATERS OF LAKE ERIE BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO FRIDAY
NIGHT. THE WIND FIELD WILL THEN REMAIN ELEVATED AS POLAR AIR DEEPENS
THROUGH SATURDAY BUT WITH GUSTS DROPPING BELOW GALE THRESHOLD. WEAK
HIGH PRESSURE IS THEN EXPECTED TO MOVE QUICKLY THROUGH THE REGION
SATURDAY NIGHT IN ADVANCE OF YET ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
ARRIVING BY SUNDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...ISSUED 1257 PM EST THU NOV 22 2012

//DISCUSSION...

GUSTY SOUTH WIND WILL BE THE ONLY ELEMENT PREVENTING IDEAL AVIATION
WEATHER AROUND SE MICHIGAN DURING THE AFTERNOON THROUGH MID EVENING.
VFR CLEAR CONDITIONS WILL GIVE WAY TO THICKENING HIGH CLOUDS BY
SUNSET AND THEN A PATTERN OF SHOWERS TOWARD MIDNIGHT. EXPECT THE
RAIN TO BEGIN FIRST IN THE TRI CITIES AS MOISTURE SPREADS IN FROM
THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND THEN THE PATTERN WILL DEVELOP EASTWARD
DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AHEAD OF A STRONG COLD FRONT. THIS FRONT
WILL PASS THROUGH ALL TERMINALS BEFORE SUNRISE FRIDAY WITH SOLID
MVFR CONDITIONS IN HEAVIER RAIN AND LOWER CEILING WITH A SHORT
PERIOD OF IFR POSSIBLE JUST PRIOR TO FRONTAL PASSAGE. THE FRONTAL
MOISTURE WILL BE EAST OF THE AREA BEFORE ENOUGH COLD AIR MOVES IN TO
MAKE PRECIP TYPE A CONCERN AND MOISTURE WRAPPING IN FROM THE NORTH
WILL MAINLY AFFECT THE TRI CITIES DURING FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THE MAIN
STORY WILL BE THE STRONG WESTERLY WIND GUSTS REACHING THE 30 TO 40
KNOT RANGE BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

FOR DTW... SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASED WESTERLY WIND GUST POTENTIAL IN
THIS FORECAST FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON AS THE WIND FIELD BEHIND THE COLD
FRONT IS COMING IN MUCH STRONGER IN THE LATEST MODEL DATA.
OTHERWISE, THE GENERAL DOWNWARD TREND IN CONDITIONS LEADING UP TO
THE FRONTAL PASSAGE IS EXPECTED TO HOLD AND BE PUNCTUATED WITH IFR
CONDITIONS AT THE WIND SHIFT AND SHARPLY COLDER TEMPERATURES FRIDAY
COMPARED TO TODAY. THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR A SHORT DURATION OF
STRONGER GUSTS JUST BEHIND THE FRONT BUT THIS WILL BE MONITORED IN
OBSERVATIONS THROUGH THE NIGHT. CONFIDENCE IS HIGHER FOR THE
STRONGER GUSTS BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

//DTW THRESHOLD THREATS...

* HIGH CONFIDENCE IN CEILING BELOW 5000 FT FRIDAY MORNING.

* MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN 270 WIND GUSTS REACHING 30 TO 40 KNOTS
FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
