AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI
629 PM EDT TUE OCT 9 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 351 PM EDT TUE OCT 9 2012

A COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP INTO WESTERN LOWER MICHIGAN THIS EVENING
BRINGING WITH IT A PERIOD OF RAIN SHOWERS. THE RAIN SHOWERS WILL
MAINLY OCCUR AFTER DARK...MOVING OFF INTO EASTERN LOWER MICHIGAN BY
WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE COLD AIR FILTERING IN BEHIND THE FRONT
TONIGHT THOUGH WILL LEAD TO SOME SCATTERED LAKE EFFECT RAIN SHOWERS
ON WEDNESDAY. MAIN DRY WEATHER IS THEN EXPECTED FROM WEDNESDAY NIGHT
THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK WEEK. A FRONT ON THURSDAY SHOULD COME
THROUGH MAINLY DRY WITH PRECIPITATION STAYING MAINLY OVER NORTHERN
LOWER MICHIGAN.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 351 PM EDT TUE OCT 9 2012

MAIN FOCUS OF THE SHORT TERM WAS ON THE TIMING OF THE PRECIPITATION
THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA TONIGHT. MESOSCALE MODELS ALL INDICATE A
BAND OF RAIN SHOWERS SWEEPING THROUGH THE CWA BETWEEN ABOUT 700 PM
THIS EVENING AND DAYBREAK ON WEDNESDAY. AROUND A QUARTER OF AN INCH
OF PRECIPITATION SHOULD BE COMMON. DEEP VERTICAL MOTION IS SHOWN
ALONG THE FRONTAL ZONE AIDED BY RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION LIFT
ASSOCIATED WITH A 300MB JET STREAK. THE FRONTAL PRECIP SHOULD BE
EXITING TO THE EAST LATE TONIGHT.

SOME SCATTERED LAKE EFFECT RAIN SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED ON WEDNESDAY AS
DELTA T/S RISE ONCE AGAIN TO AROUND 20 DEG C. MOISTURE IS NOT ALL
THAT IMPRESSIVE...BUT WITH CYCLONIC UPPER FLOW...STRONG INSTABILITY
AND JUST ENOUGH MOISTURE WE SHOULD SQUEEZE OUT AT LEAST SCATTERED
ACTIVITY OFF THE LAKE. THE CYCLONIC FLOW LIFTS OUT DURING THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING THOUGH...AND SO SHOULD THE RAIN SHOWERS.

DRY WEATHER IS FORECAST THEN WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT
FOR THE MOST PART. THE EXCEPTION MAY BE ACROSS CENTRAL LOWER
MICHIGAN THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS A COLD FRONT PUSHES
SOUTH. THE DEEPEST MOISTURE AND LIFT WILL BE ACROSS NORTHERN
LOWER...SO ONLY BROUGHT SCATTERED POPS INTO THE U.S. 10 CORRIDOR.
WE COULD BE LOOKING AT LAKE EFFECT RAIN SHOWERS AGAIN THURSDAY NIGHT
IN NORTHERLY FLOW...BUT OPTED TO KEEP THINGS DRY FOR NOW GIVEN THE
NORTH FLOW AND MOISTURE THAT IS NOT ALL THAT DEEP.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 351 PM EDT TUE OCT 9 2012

THE EXTENDED PERIOD WILL BEGIN WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVERHEAD LEADING
TO A SUNNY FRIDAY. THE WEEKEND LOOKS WET AND WARMER HOWEVER AS
SOUTHWEST WINDS DEVELOP ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE DEPARTING HIGH. A
DEVELOPING STORM IN THE PLAINS WILL TRACK NEWD TOWARD THE GREAT
LAKES SATURDAY BRINGING A GOOD CHANCE OF RAIN SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY.
THERE IS SOME INSTABILITY AHEAD OF THE LOW AND SO WE KEPT THE CHC OF
THUNDER GOING. THIS LOOKS LIKE A VERY DYNAMIC SYSTEM WITH A VERY
STRONG LLJ SATURDAY NIGHT. GFS SHOWS THE LLJ STRENGTHENING TO CLOSE
TO 80KTS SATURDAY NIGHT. PWATS CLIMB TO AN INCH AND A HALF SATURDAY
NIGHT SO HEAVY RAINFALL REMAINS A POSSIBILITY. THE TRAILING COLD
FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH LATE SUNDAY SO WE/LL KEEP THE CHC OF RAIN
GOING THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

RAIN CHANCES WILL INCREASE AGAIN LATE MONDAY INTO TUESDAY AS THE
NEXT COLD FRONT APPROACHES. OVERALL...THE LATTER PART OF THE WEEKEND
INTO EARLY NEXT WILL BE ON THE WARM SIDE AS HIGHS REMAIN IN THE
LOWER TO MID 60S.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 628 PM EDT TUE OCT 9 2012

I EXPECT 3 TO 6 HOURS OF MVFR CIGS/VSBY WITH FRONTAL RAIN BAND
THIS EVENING THEN MVFR CIGS BEHIND THE FRONT WITH VFR VSBY UNTIL
MID MORNING WHEN DRIER AIR WILL FINALLY MOVE IN.

AT 22Z THERE WERE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF CIGS/VSBY MVFR ACROSS CNTL
WISCONSIN AS THE RAIN BAND WAS MOVING THROUGH. AS THE SYSTEM GETS
OVER LAKE MICHIGAN AN UPPER DISTURBANCE WILL ENHANCE THE RAIN BAND
AND RESULT IN A LARGER AREA OF MVFR CIGS/VSBY AS IT MOVES THROUGH.
I EXPECT 3 TO 6 HOURS OF MVFR CIGS/VSBY AT ALL TAF SITES AS THIS
MOVES ACROSS THE AREA BETWEEN 01Z AND MKG AND 09Z AT JXN. LOCALLY
IFR CIGS/VSBY ARE EXPECTED AT MKG AND GRR SINCE THOSE ARE CLOSEST
TO THE AREA LAKE ENHANCEMENT IS EXPECTED THIS EVENING (PUT TEMP IFR
BOTH LOCATIONS FOR HEAVIER SHOWERS).

ONCE THIS MOVES THROUGH WEST NORTHWEST WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT WILL
BRING MVFR CIGS AND VFR VSBY DURING THE MID MORNING HOURS. SKIES
SHOULD CLEAR IN THE AFTERNOON AS DRIER AIR MOVES IN.

&&

.MARINE...
ISSUED AT 351 PM EDT TUE OCT 9 2012

WILL MAINTAIN THE GALE WARNING AS IS INTO THE EVENING AND KEEP
HEADLINES SIMPLE. WE ARE NOW IN THE TIME OF YEAR WHERE MARINE
HEADLINES ARE COMMON AND THIS FORECAST PERIOD IS NO DIFFERENT. LATER
THIS EVENING THE GALE WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED BY A SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY FROM OVERNIGHT ALL THE WAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. CURRENT
INDICATIONS ARE THAT A GALE WARNING WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED FOR
THURSDAY IN STRONG SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW. THE RELATIVE CALM OF THE
SUMMER MONTHS SEEMS LIKE A DISTANT MEMORY...GIVEN THE CURRENT
GALE...SCA TO GALE SCENARIO.

NOMOGRAM STILL SHOWS SOME POTENTIAL FOR WATERSPOUTS ON
WEDNESDAY...SO MAINTAIN THEM IN THE FORECAST. THIS EVENT DOES NOT
LOOK AS GREAT AS PAST EVENTS AS THE DEPTH OF MOISTURE IS A BIT
LIMITED.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 351 PM EDT TUE OCT 9 2012

NO HYDRO ISSUES ANTICIPATED WITH THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE TONIGHT.
MOST LOCATIONS SHOULD SEE PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS RANGE FROM 0.20 TO
0.40. LAKE MICHIGAN WILL LIKELY AID THE PRECIPITATION A BIT WITH A
BOOST IN MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY VIA DELTA T/S AROUND 10C AHEAD OF
THE FRONT. SCATTERED LAKE EFFECT RAIN SHOWERS WILL NOT CAUSE AN
ISSUE EITHER ON WEDNESDAY. WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT
SHOULD BE MAINLY DRY. THE NEXT SIGNIFICANT SYSTEM LOOKS TO BE
SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT AS A LOW SWINGS NORTHEAST THROUGH THE
GREAT LAKES. THE SATURDAY SYSTEM WILL HAVE A FEED OF MOISTURE OFF
THE GULF.

&&

.GRR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
MI...NONE.
LM...GALE WARNING UNTIL 11 PM EDT THIS EVENING FOR LMZ844>849.
