100 PM EDT THU OCT 4 2012

.AVIATION...

//DISCUSSION...

FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS AT MBS HAVE IMPROVED THIS AFTERNOON TO MVFR WITH
A SLOW CONTINUAL CLEARING THROUGH THE DAYTIME EXPECTED. VFR
CONDITIONS ELSEWHERE CONTINUE TODAY AS STABLE MID-LEVEL AIR HOLDS
STRONG TEMPORARILY. WILL SEE SOME 20KT GUSTS THIS AFTERNOON AS
MIXING HEIGHTS REACH 5000FT. CIGS WILL DROP OVERNIGHT AS A COLD
FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH. A 2-3 HOUR DROP TO MVFR ACROSS THE BOARD IS
POSSIBLE, BUT WILL QUICKLY RECOVER IN A COOL/STABLE POST-FRONTAL
AIRMASS.

//DTW THRESHOLD THREATS...

* MEDIUM CONFIDENCE IN CEILING BELOW 5000 FEET TONIGHT WITH PASSAGE
OF THE COLD FRONT.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...ISSUED 353 AM EDT THU OCT 4 2012

SHORT TERM... TODAY AND TONIGHT

THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT HAS AFFECTED THE WEATHER OVER THE GREAT
LAKES FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS WILL FINALLY ACCELERATE OUT OF THE
AREA TODAY. SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL BE CONCENTRATED
OVER THE SAGINAW VALLEY AND NORTHERN THUMB DURING THE MORNING WITH
NOT MORE THAN AN ISOLATED SHOWER NEAR THE OHIO BORDER. THIS WILL BE
FOLLOWED BY DRY CONDITIONS ACROSS THE AREA DURING THE AFTERNOON ON
THE HEELS OF THE SYSTEM AND AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT THAT WILL BE
RAPIDLY APPROACHING FROM THE MIDWEST. THE FRONT WILL MOVE QUICKLY
THROUGH SE MICHIGAN TONIGHT AND EXIT TO OUR EAST BY SUNRISE FRIDAY
MORNING.

THE SHOWERS OVER NORTHERN AND WESTERN LOWER MICHIGAN DURING THE
EARLY MORNING HOURS HAVE BEEN IMPRESSIVE CONSIDERING THE MATURITY OF
THE OCCLUSION THAT HAS DRIVEN THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AXIS WELL INTO
ONTARIO AND QUEBEC. THE WARM WATER OF LAKE MICHIGAN MAY BE PROVIDING
A BOOST BUT THERE ALSO REMAINS A RESPECTABLE AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY
THROUGH THE MID LEVELS THAT WILL ENHANCE THE DEFORMATION PATTERN AS
THE TROUGH CONTINUES TO SHEAR THROUGH LOWER MICHIGAN DURING THE
MORNING. SATELLITE IMAGERY SUPPORTS THE ACCELERATED NORTHWARD
MOVEMENT OF THE MID LEVEL TROUGH DEPICTED IN THE MODEL SOLUTIONS.
THIS WILL ALLOW THE PARTLY SUNNY CONDITIONS THAT WILL START THE DAY
IN THE DETROIT AREA TO SPREAD NORTHWARD OVER ALL OF SE MICHIGAN BY
MID AFTERNOON. THE CHALLENGE AT THAT POINT WILL BE TO PIN DOWN MAX
TEMPS THAT WILL BE LIFTED BY THE SUNSHINE AND DEEP/WELL MIXED
SOUTHWEST FLOW. UPSTREAM HIGHS YESTERDAY WERE IN THE MID TO UPPER
70S IN THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THE SAME NUMBERS LOOK EASILY
REACHABLE IN OUR AREA BY LATE AFTERNOON.

ATTENTION THEN TURNS TO THE COLD FRONT THAT WILL BE ON OUR DOORSTEP
BY EARLY EVENING WHICH WILL PACK A PUNCH IN TERMS OF ITS WIND FIELD
AND TEMPERATURE CONTRAST. THIS MAKES CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL THE
PRIMARY CONCERN. OBSERVATIONS OVER THE PLAINS SUPPORT MODEL
DEPICTIONS OF SURFACE DEWPOINT LIMITED TO THE 50S AHEAD OF THE FRONT
IN THE AIR MASS EXPECTED TO SPREAD INTO SE MICHIGAN DURING THE DAY.
MODEL FORECAST SOUNDINGS THEN STRUGGLE TO GENERATE A FEW HUNDRED
J/KG OF CAPE BUT THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AXIS INDICATES 850 MB
DEWPOINT PUSHING 10C BY 00Z. THIS WILL BE GOOD FOR A PATTERN OF
SHOWERS THAT MEET ENTRY LEVEL LIKELY POPS WITH JUST AN ISOLATED
THUNDER MENTION BASED ON THE CAPE LIMITATIONS, FIRST IN THE TRI
CITIES DURING THE EVENING AND THEN SWEEPING WEST TO EAST AND EXITING
THE DETROIT AREA BEFORE SUNRISE FRIDAY MORNING.

LONG TERM...

SOME IMPORTANT CHANGES IN THE ORIENTATION/STRUCTURE OF THE 500 MB
LOW JUST NORTH OF LAKE SUPERIOR ON FRIDAY...AS IT NOW APPEARS
A STRONG BUT COMPACT UPPER WAVE/PV ANOMALY COMING OUT OF WYOMING
EARLY FRIDAY MORNING WILL BE ABLE TO BACK THE LOW LEVEL FLOW JUST
ENOUGH...COUPLED WITH LARGE SCALE ASCENT TO ACTIVATE THE MID LEVEL
FRONTAL ZONE IN PLACE OVER THE NORTHERN OHIO VALLEY...STREAKING
NORTHEAST INTO THE DETROIT METRO AREA. WITH SUCH A SHARP
BAROCLINIC ZONE AND IMPINGING MID LEVEL DRY SLOT WORKING IN...IT
LOOKS TO BE A REAL TOUGH CALL FOR RAIN CHANCES....AND 00Z
NAM/GFS/UKMET/CANADIAN ALL SUGGEST A MODERATE TO HIGH CHANCE OF
RAIN IS VALID...WITH EVEN A LIKELY ARGUMENT TOWARD THE OHIO
BORDER. EVEN IF THE RAIN DOESN'T NOT MAKE IT THIS FAR NORTH...THE
MAX TEMPERATURE FORECAST IN THE LOWER 60S LOOKS TO BE IN JEOPARDY
AS CLOUD SHIELD LIKELY PERSISTS ACROSS SOUTH HALF/THIRD OF THE
CWA...AND WILL TWEAK DOWN TO NEAR 60 DEGREES.

ALTHOUGH THE 500 MB SHORTWAVE TROUGH SWINGING IN TO THE CENTRAL
GREAT LAKES ON SATURDAY WILL BE WEAKENING...THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE
TROUGH SEEN SLIDING INTO SOUTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN LATE IN THE
DAY...COUPLED WITH THE CYCLONIC COLD FLOW COMING OFF LAKE MICHIGAN
(850 MB TEMPS OF -3 TO -5 C) ARGUE FOR SLIGHT/LOW CHANCE POPS.

SUNDAY REMAINS OPEN FOR SOME DEBATE...AS THE 12Z EURO VS 00Z NAM
HAVE SUBTLE BUT IMPORTANT DIFFERENCES IN THE HANDLING OF THE UPPER
WAVE/LOW COMING OUT OF THE CENTRAL/NORTHERN PLAINS ON SATURDAY...AND
THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY ON SUNDAY. THE GOOD NEWS IS THE 00Z EURO HAS
TRENDING A BIT FARTHER SOUTH...AND WILL CARRY JUST SCATTERED/LOW
CHANCE POPS TO ACCOUNT FOR THE GLANCING GLOW INDICATED BY THE EURO
OR DUE TO THE LAKE EFFECT/DIURNAL ACTIVITY WITH 850 MB TEMPS
HOVERING AROUND -3 C.

TEMPERATURES BOTTOMING OUT AROUND FREEZING SUNDAY NIGHT APPEARS
LIKELY...AS RETURN FLOW AROUND THE HIGH BUILDING INTO THE SOUTHEAST
CONUS HOLDS OFF UNTIL THE DAYTIME HOURS OF MONDAY. TEMPERATURES
SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM RETURNING TO NEAR NORMAL VALUES EARLY NEXT
WEEK OUT AHEAD OF THE NEXT NORTHERN STREAM TROUGH DROPPING SOUTHEAST
FROM WESTERN CANADA.

MARINE...

SHOWERS WILL AFFECT SAGINAW BAY AND LAKE HURON TODAY, MAINLY DURING
THE MORNING, BUT THE MAIN MARINE CONCERN WILL BE A STRONG COLD FRONT
ON SCHEDULE TO MOVE THROUGH THE REGION TONIGHT. THIS FRONT IS
EXPECTED TO PACK A PUNCH BUT GALE FORCE WIND GUSTS LOOK MARGINAL.
THIS ASSESSMENT IS BASED ON MODEL FORECAST SOUNDINGS THAT INDICATE A
LIMITED MIXED LAYER NOT QUITE CAPABLE OF TAPPING INTO HIGHER WINDS
ALOFT. IF GALES ARE REACHABLE, IT WILL BE WELL TOWARD THE EASTERN
SHORE OF LAKE HURON BEFORE DOING SO IN A CONVINCING MANNER. UPSTREAM
TRENDS WILL BE MONITORED BUT CONDITIONS POST FRONT ARE EXPECTED TO
BE LIMITED TO SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS FOR SAGINAW BAY AND
AROUND THE TIP OF THE THUMB AT LEAST THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT FOR THE
RESULTING HIGH WAVES. A SECONDARY SURGE OF COLDER AIR IS ALSO
EXPECTED SATURDAY WHICH WILL MAINTAIN ROUGH WATER CONDITIONS UNTIL
POSSIBLY SOME IMPROVEMENT SUNDAY.
