AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI
750 AM EDT THU MAY 31 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 402 AM EDT THU MAY 31 2012

AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL STRENGTHEN AS IT LIFTS NORTHEAST
TOWARD LAKE HURON THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING. THIS WILL SPREAD RAIN
ACROSS THE AREA BEGINNING DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS TODAY...AND
LASTING THROUGH THE DAY ON FRIDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE BELOW
AVERAGE DUE TO THE CLOUDS AND RAINFALL IN PLACE. CONDITIONS WILL
GRADUALLY IMPROVE OVER THE WEEKEND.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 402 AM EDT THU MAY 31 2012

THE MAIN FOCUS OF THE SHORT TERM WILL BE PCPN TRENDS THROUGH THE
DAY ON FRIDAY AS WE SEE THE STORM SYSTEM INTENSIFY TO OUR E/SE.

CLOUDS ARE JUST BEGINNING TO INCREASE FROM THE WEST EARLY THIS
MORNING. RADAR IMAGERY AND SFC OBS FROM WI INDICATE THAT THERE IS
SOME LIGHT RAINFALL REACHING THE GROUND AT SOME LOCATIONS VIA
FORCING OUT AHEAD OF THE INCOMING WAVE/TROUGH ALOFT. AT FIRST
GLANCE...THIS WOULD APPEAR TO MOVE INTO THE AREA QUICKLY. HOWEVER
AS THE UPPER LOW TAKES SHAPE TO OUR WEST...AND IS ROTATED TO THE
SE A BIT WITH AN ADDITIONAL JET LET DIGGING IN...THE PCPN SHOULD
TAKE A SE TREND THIS MORNING. THIS SHOULD KEEP THE AREA DRY
THROUGH MOST OF THE MORNING.

WE WILL THEN SEE RAIN SHOWERS/RAIN BREAK OUT FROM SW TO NE THIS
AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. THIS OCCURS AS THE JET LET COMING IN
AND ROUNDS THE BASE OF THE TROUGH. THESE FEATURES WILL ACT ON THE
CURRENT INVERTED SFC TROUGH EXTENDING FROM OK TO IA AND STRENGTHEN
IT. THE SFC LOW WILL FOLLOW THE OH RIVER FOR A BIT BEFORE TAKING A
TURN TOWARD LAKE HURON. THE CWFA WILL BE ON THE NW QUAD OF THE SFC
LOW...AND UNDER THE DEFORMATION ZONE OF THE UPPER LOW/TROUGH.

THIS RAIN WILL HOLD IN ACROSS THE AREA AS THE SFC LOW ROTATES
NORTH ALONG THE ERN PERIPHERY OF THE UPPER LOW. THUNDER CHANCES
LOOK TO BE ABOUT ZERO WITH THE WARM SECTOR REMAINING TO THE SOUTH
OF THE STATE LINE. WE CAN NOT RULE OUT A RUMBLE OF THUNDER AS THE
DRY SLOT TRIES TO WORK IN LATE TONIGHT AND FRI MORNING. THE CHC IS
TOO LOW AT THIS TIME TO MENTION IT FOR NOW.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 402 AM EDT THU MAY 31 2012

LONG TERM PERIOD BEGINS FRIDAY NIGHT WITH AN UPPER LOW OVERHEAD. THE
LOW LIFTS OUT TO THE NORTHEAST SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. IN ITS
WAKE NORTHWEST FLOW PERSISTS FOR A TIME SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY.
UPPER RIDGING IS LOCATED JUST UPSTREAM FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.
EVEN THOUGH WE ARE NOT FIRMLY ENTRENCHED IN THE RIDGE...HEIGHTS WILL
HAVE RISEN CONSIDERABLY FROM VALUES AROUND 550 DM/S FRIDAY NIGHT TO
THE 570/S BY TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY. SUFFICE IT TO SAY A WARMING TREND
WILL OCCUR THROUGH THE PERIOD.

AS FAR AS THE DETAILS THE MAIN FEATURE TO KEY ON IS AT THE START OF
THE PERIOD...THE UPPER LOW SLOWLY LIFTING OUT TO THE NORTHEAST. RAIN
WILL BE OCCURRING FRIDAY NIGHT...GRADUALLY TAPERING OFF FROM
SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST INTO SATURDAY.

BEYOND SATURDAY...THE WEATHER IS FAIRLY BENIGN WITH HIGH PRESSURE
DOMINATING MUCH OF THE TIME. ONE DISCREPANCY IS A SHORTWAVE AND LOW
THAT THE GFS DROPS SOUTH THROUGH THE REGION SUNDAY NIGHT INTO
MONDAY. THE ECMWF DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME FEATURE. AT THIS POINT HAVE
20 AND 25 POPS IN THE FORECAST FOR SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY BUT COULD
SEE THESE NEEDING TO BE REMOVED WITH TIME.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z FRIDAY MORNING)
ISSUED AT 750 AM EDT THU MAY 31 2012

COMPLICATED FORECAST THE NEXT 24 HOURS. AN AREA OF MVFR CEILINGS
WILL SLIDE ACROSS SOUTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN THIS MORNING AS SOME
LIGHT RAIN PUSHES IN FROM THE WEST. THE LOW CLOUDS SHOULD CLEAR
OUT TO THE SOUTH AROUND MIDDAY. THE RAIN WILL LIKELY ERODE THIS
MORNING AS IT PUSHES INTO DRIER AIR.

LOWER CEILINGS AND RAIN WILL SPREAD BACK INTO THE AREA FROM THE
SOUTH AND WEST WITH TIME LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.
CONDITIONS WILL DROP INTO THE MVFR CATEGORY TONIGHT IN ALL
AREAS...WITH IFR LIKELY AT KAZO...KBTL AND KJXN. ANY RAIN TODAY
SHOULD BE ON THE LIGHT SIDE...BECOMING HEAVIER THIS EVENING AND
TONIGHT.

&&

.MARINE...
ISSUED AT 402 AM EDT THU MAY 31 2012

WE WILL BE DROPPING THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WITH THIS FORECAST
PACKAGE. WINDS HAVE DIMINISHED SIGNIFICANTLY SINCE LAST EVENING.
THE NEXT PERIOD OF CONCERN LOOKS TO BE VERY LATE TONIGHT AND GOING
THROUGH SATURDAY. THIS OCCURS AS THE STORM STRENGTHENS TO OUR
EAST...WHICH WILL BRING NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS TO THE AREA. A
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY LOOKS TO BE LIKELY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 402 AM EDT THU MAY 31 2012

WE DO NOT EXPECT ANY SIGNIFICANT HYDROLOGY ISSUES THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. THIS INCOMING LOW DOES APPEAR TO GIVE THE AREA A GOOD
SOAKING RAIN...ESPECIALLY FOR SE AREAS. RAINFALL AMOUNTS SHOULD
GENERALLY RANGE FROM A TENTH OF AN INCH OR SO TO THE NW...TO OVER
AN INCH OF RAIN TO THE SE. THIS AMOUNT OF RAIN OVER A 12-24 HOUR
PERIOD WILL NOT CAUSE ISSUES...ESPECIALLY SINCE THE AREA IS
SOMEWHAT DRY OVER RECENT TIMES. RIVER LEVELS WILL INCREASE...BUT
THE RISES SHOULD BE WITHIN BANK RISES.

&&

.GRR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
MI...NONE.
LM...NONE.
