AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI
352 PM EDT TUE SEP 18 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 352 PM EDT TUE SEP 18 2012

BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES CAN BE EXPECTED FOR THE REST OF THIS WEEK
INTO THE COMING WEEKEND AS A SERIES OF COLD FRONTS IMPACTS THE
REGION.

HIGH PRESSURE IN BETWEEN FRONTS WILL LEAD TO CHILLY LOW TEMPERATURES
IN THE 30S TO AROUND 40 TONIGHT. SOME PATCHY FROST IS POSSIBLE NORTH
OF GRAND RAPIDS.

BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP WEDNESDAY AHEAD OF THE NEXT COLD
FRONT. THIS FRONT PASSES THROUGH ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND WILL BRING
SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS WITH IT. THE BEST CHANCE WILL BE NORTHWEST OF
GRAND RAPIDS.

A MORE SIGNIFICANT COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES
REGION ON FRIDAY AND HIGH TEMPERATURES BEHIND IT OVER THE WEEKEND
WILL ONLY BE IN THE 50S WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 352 PM EDT TUE SEP 18 2012

THE FIRST ISSUE IS THE FROST POTENTIAL TONIGHT AND WHETHER OR NOT AN
ADVISORY SHOULD BE ISSUED. SINCE THE AMOUNT OF CLOUD COVER AND
DEGREE OF BOUNDARY LAYER DECOUPLING IS IN QUESTION... HAVE OPTED TO
STICK WITH AREAS OF FROST NORTH/NORTHEAST OF GRR OVERNIGHT AND NO
HEADLINE.

THE NEXT ISSUE IS THE POPS AND THUNDER THREAT FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT
WITH THE NEXT COLD FRONT. RIGHT NOW THE MODEL CONSENSUS IS FOR THE
HIGHEST POPS IN THE NW CWFA WHERE BEST DPVA AND SFC CONVERGENCE WILL
BE PRESENT. THIS IS ALSO WHERE THE WARM LK MI WATERS MAY COME INTO
PLAY WITH ADDED INSTABILITY/MOISTURE. WILL HAVE LIKELY POPS IN THE
NW CWFA... TAPERING TO ONLY 20/30 PCT IN THE SE CWFA AROUND JXN.
NAM/GFS SHOW A FEW HUNDRED JOULES OF MU CAPE IN THE WRN CWFA DUE TO
WARM LAKE INFLUENCE... SO MENTIONED A CHANCE OF A TSTM AS WELL WED
EVENING.

MID LEVEL DRY SLOTTING IS PROGGED BEHIND THE FRONT ON THURSDAY... H8
COLD ADVECTION IS NOT AS IMPRESSIVE AS TODAY... AND MOST OF THE H5
PVA LOOKS TO STAY NORTH OF OUR AREA. WILL THEREFORE CARRY ONLY SLGT
CHC POPS FOR SHOWERS ON THURSDAY.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 352 PM EDT TUE SEP 18 2012

WE WILL REMAIN UNDER AN UPPER TROUGH FRIDAY THROUGH MUCH OF THE
WEEKEND.  THIS WILL CONTINUE THE FEED OF COOL NORTHWEST FLOW THAT
WILL CAUSE LINGERING LAKE EFFECT POPS.  IN FACT THE COLDEST AIR...H8
TEMPS AROUND 0C...DOES NOT REACH US UNTIL SUNDAY MORNING...SO VERY
LITTLE IMPROVE WILL OCCUR UNTIL AFTER THAT POINT.

FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY EVENING CONTINUES TO LOOK LIKE THE WETTEST PERIOD
WITH A REINFORCING COLD FRONT COMING THROUGH.  SATURDAY AND SUNDAY
LARGELY LOOKS LIKE PURE LAKE EFFECT AS THE UPPER TROUGH PASSES
EAST...SO THE MORE NUMEROUS SHOWERS SHOULD BE ALONG THE LAKE SHORE
COUNTIES.  PERHAPS A BIT LESS SHOWERY SUNDAY AS THE UPPER TROUGH
SHOULD FINALLY BE TO OUR EAST.

MAINTAINED A DRY PERIOD SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY AS THE FLOW
GRADUALLY BECOMES MORE ZONAL AND TEMPS RETURN TO NEAR NORMAL VALUES.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 114 PM EDT TUE SEP 18 2012

LAKE EFFECT RAIN SHOWERS CONTINUE TO HUG THE EASTERN EDGE OF LAKE
MICHIGAN AND THE LAKE SHORE COUNTIES. AREAS OF MVFR WERE BEING
REPORTED WITHIN SOME OF THESE SHOWERS. DRIER AIR AND SHIFTING
WINDS WILL BRING AN END TO THESE SHOWERS BY LATE AFTERNOON.
OTHERWISE...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH
18Z WED.

NW WINDS WILL REMAIN BRISK THROUGH THE DAYTIME HOURS TODAY...THEN
DROP OFF NICELY BY EARLY EVENING. WINDS WILL INCREASE AGAIN ON WED
FROM THE SW.

&&

.MARINE...
ISSUED AT 352 PM EDT TUE SEP 18 2012

WIND GUIDANCE FOR WED AFTERNOON/EVE LOOKS CONVINCING ENOUGH TO NUDGE
THE GALE WATCH TO A GALE WARNING. SSW FLOW AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING
SFC COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO REACH 35-40 KTS AT TIMES... STRONGEST
NORTH OF HOLLAND. COORD WITH LOT.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 352 PM EDT TUE SEP 18 2012

LIKE LAST NIGHT... THE HIGHEST QPF AMOUNTS WITH THE NEXT FRONT ON
WED NGT ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE NW CWFA. CURRENT INDICATIONS ARE
0.25-0.50 WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS NW OF GRR... WITH LESS THAN
0.25 SOUTH AND EAST OF GRR. NO HYDRO PROBLEMS ANTICIPATED ATTM.

&&

.GRR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
MI...NONE.
LM...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 1 PM EDT WEDNESDAY FOR LMZ844>849.

     GALE WARNING FROM 1 PM WEDNESDAY TO 2 AM EDT THURSDAY FOR
     LMZ844>849.
