AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI
1216 AM EDT FRI SEP 7 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 325 PM EDT THU SEP 6 2012
A DEEPENING AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK FROM NORTHERN INDIANA
THROUGH SOUTHEAST LOWER MICHIGAN ON FRIDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING
WITH IT RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS. A MUCH COOLER AIRMASS WILL FLOW IN
BEHIND IT FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEKEND.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 325 PM EDT THU SEP 6 2012
THE MAIN CHALLENGE IN THE SHORT TERM DEALS WITH THE IMPACT OF THE
STORM FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. THE 12Z MODELS DID TREND FURTHER
NORTH WITH THE WARM FRONT AND THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TRACK FRIDAY
AFTERNOON. THIS COUPLED WITH THE STRONGER SHEAR ALONG THE WARM
FRONT SUPPORTS AT LEAST A LOW RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER. WHETHER ANY
SEVERE WEATHER DEVELOPS OR NOT DEPENDS ON THE THE TIMING AND
STRENGTH OF THE STORM AS IT TRACKS THROUGH. ALSO AN IMPRESSIVE
MOIST AXIS ADVECTS IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST WITH TIME WHICH WILL ACT
TO LOWER CLOUD BASES...ESPECIALLY AROUND AND TO THE NORTH OF THE
WARM FRONT. AREAS OF HEAVY RAIN POSSIBLE WITH MORE THAN AN INCH
LIKELY FOR SOME LOCATIONS...ROUGHLY SOUTH OF THE I 96 CORRIDOR.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)

ISSUED AT 325 PM EDT THU SEP 6 2012
DEEP UPPER TROUGH WILL BE MOVING AWAY FROM THE REGION SUNDAY AND THE
LAST SHORT WAVE ROTATING AROUND THE TROUGH WILL MAINLY BE NORTHEAST
OF THE CWA. IT/S POSSIBLE THAT WE COULD STILL SEE A FEW SHOWERS
SUNDAY OVER THE CWA BUT THERE'S A BETTER CHANCE THAT WE WON/T...SO
WE REMOVED THE MENTION OF PCPN FROM THE GRIDS.

A LARGE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD SOUTHEAST OVER THE
GREAT LAKES THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT LEADING TO DRY WEATHER. WE/LL
SEE A GRADUAL WARMING TREND THROUGH THE PERIOD AS TEMPS CLIMB ABOVE
NORMAL BY MID WEEK. THE NEXT COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH LATE WEDNESDAY
NIGHT/THURSDAY BUT IT/S STILL UNCLEAR AS TO WHETHER WE/LL SEE ANY
PCPN WITH IT. AS SUCH WE/LL RUN WITH DRY WX THURSDAY FOR NOW.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1215 AM EDT FRI SEP 7 2012

NO CHANGES FROM EARLIER THINKING. VFR WEATHER IS EXPECTED TONIGHT
INTO FRIDAY MORNING. WHILE THERE IS A CHANCE FOR RADIATION FOG
WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVERHEAD... FEEL THAT WITH A DRIER AIR MASS IN
PLACE THE POTENTIAL/COVERAGE WILL BE TOO LOW TO ADVERTISE FOG/MIST
IN ALL THE TAFS. THAT SAID... BCFG/MIFG COULD BRIEFLY/LOCALLY
RESTRICT VSBYS AROUND DAWN FRIDAY.

AS RAIN SHOWERS DEVELOP ON FRIDAY... CONDITIONS SHOULD REMAIN
PREDOMINATELY VFR. HOWEVER AFTER 21-23Z VSBYS SHOULD TREND TOWARD
MVFR AS THE RAIN BECOMES MORE WIDESPREAD AND HEAVIER. PASSAGE OF
THE COLD FRONT SHOULD BRING LOWER IFR CIGS INTO THE MKG AREA LATE
IN THE DAY... WITH THOSE SPREADING EAST OVER THE REST OF THE AREA
TOWARD/AFTER 00Z SAT.

TSTM POTENTIAL LOOKS BEST ALONG/SOUTH OF THE I-94 CORRIDOR 22-03Z
FRIDAY... SO ONLY INCLUDED VCTS/CB IN THE AZO/BTL/JXN TAFS AND
KEPT IT OUT OF THE OTHERS.

&&

.MARINE...
ISSUED AT 325 PM EDT THU SEP 6 2012

CONTINUED SUPPORT FOR HIGHER WAVES AND ASSOCIATED HAZARDS FRI
NIGHT INTO SAT. NOT MUCH CHANGE WITH THE WATERSPOUT RISK AS WELL.
NO HEADLINES YET.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 325 PM EDT THU SEP 6 2012

SWATH OF AN INCH OF RAIN LIKELY FRI INTO FRI NIGHT. SHOULD LEAD TO
RISES. HOWEVER FLOODING NOT EXPECTED IF WE SEE THIS MUCH RAIN.
CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE STORM AS IT DEVELOPS.

&&

.GRR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
