AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI
352 AM EDT TUE OCT 16 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 352 AM EDT TUE OCT 16 2012

IT WILL BE MAINLY DRY TODAY WITH WEAK HIGH PRESSURE DRIFTING BY.
HOWEVER THERE WILL BE SEVERAL CHANCES FOR RAIN STARTING TONIGHT
AND CONTINUING ON AND OFF RIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL
OCCUR AS LOW PRESSURE STALLS OVER THE REGION. THE WEEKEND LOOKS
MAINLY DRY...BUT THEN THERE WILL BE ANOTHER CHANCE OF RAIN BY
MONDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL FLUCTUATE SOMEWHAT EACH DAY...BUT REMAIN
NEAR TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 352 AM EDT TUE OCT 16 2012

WARM ADVECTION KICKS IN TODAY. FORECAST SOUNDINGS APPEAR RATHER
DRY IN THE LOW LEVELS...BUT THERE WILL BE A FAIR AMOUNT OF MID
LEVEL CLOUDS IN THIS PATTERN. A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE
ACROSS CENTRAL LOWER...WHILE SOUTHERN LOWER WILL SEE A BIT MORE
SUNSHINE FILTER THROUGH THE CLOUDS. THE WARMER AIR WILL BE
REALIZED AT THE SURFACE TOO TODAY...WITH MID 60S SOUTH TO AROUND
60 IN THICKER CLOUDS NORTH.

THE MODELS ARE TRENDING WITH A SHARPER WARM FRONT LIFTING THROUGH
THE CWA TONIGHT. ALSO...THE DIURNAL LOW LEVEL JET IS PROGGED TO MOVE
OVER THE HEART OF THE CWA OVERNIGHT WHICH SHOULD SUPPORT A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS. WILL GO WITH HIGH CHANCE POPS...BUT WE MAY NEED TO
INCREASE TO LIKELY IF THIS JET COMES TO FRUITION. IT WILL BE
QUESTIONABLE IF THIS STORMS WILL BECOME SURFACE BASED SO SEVERE
STORMS LOOK UNLIKELY...BUT A MORE VIGOROUS STORM COULD BRING DOWN
SOME GUSTY WINDS.

THE BULK OF WEDNESDAY LOOKS QUIET AS WE WILL BE IN THE WARM SECTOR.
TEMPS WILL WARM INTO THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S. HOWEVER I INCREASED
POPS FOR LATE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AS A COLD FRONT MOVES TO EASTERN
WISCONSIN BY THE END OF THE DAY. ANOTHER LOW LEVEL JET PROCEEDS THE
FRONT AND A COUPLED UPPER JET STRUCTURE WILL BE MOVING INTO THE
REGION LATE. INCREASED POPS TO LIKELY FOR THE BULK OF THE
CWA...BUT AGAIN EXPECT THE BULK OF THIS TO ARRIVE LATE AFTERNOON.
INSTABILITY FIELDS DO NOT LOOK IMPRESSIVE. SO EXPECT MOSTLY
SHOWERS WITH PERHAPS AN EMBEDDED STORM. THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH
THE CWA WED NIGHT RATHER SLOWLY...SO MANY AREAS SHOULD SEE AROUND
A HALF INCH OF RAIN.

BY THURSDAY THE UPPER FLOW CUTS OFF WITH LOW PRESSURE MOVING
SLOWLY ACROSS WISCONSIN. FOR PART OF THE DAY WE WILL BE WITHIN THE
DRY SLOT...BUT THERE WILL BE THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS EITHER SIDE OF
THIS DRY SLOT. SO EXPECT SHOWERS ALONG WITH A PERIOD OF SUNSHINE.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 352 AM EDT TUE OCT 16 2012

THE MAIN CHALLENGE IN THE LONG TERM DEALS WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR
RAIN THU NIGHT INTO FRI.  MODELS ARE IN RELATIVE AGREEMENT ON A
SLOWER AND FURTHER SOUTH TRACK OF THE 500 MB CLOSED LOW THAT WILL BE
CROSSING THE LOWER GREAT LAKES REGION DURING THIS TIME FRAME.  DEEP
MOISTURE IS SEEN WHICH MAKES SENSE AS THE COMBINATION OF STEADY
HEIGHT FALLS AND MOISTURE FLUX FROM THE GREAT LAKES EVOLVES.  THE
DGZ BECOMES SATURATED AND THERE IS SOME LIFT STARTING THU NIGHT AND
CONTINUING INTO FRI.  SO I INCREASED POPS DURING THIS TIME FRAME.

LOOKS LIKE THE 500 MB CLOSED LOW WILL LIFT OUT FOR SAT INTO SAT
NIGHT AS THE MID LEVEL RIDGE MOVES IN FROM THE WEST.  WILL FEATURE
DECREASING POPS THEN.  GIVEN THE STRONGER HEIGHT RISES SUN INTO
MON...WE SHOULD SEE TEMPERATURES CLIMBING TO WELL ABOVE NORMAL
LEVELS.  THE GULF WILL OPEN UP AGAIN AND THE STRENGTHENING SW FLOW
WILL ADVECT THAT MOISTURE INTO MI...ESPECIALLY MON.  SO ALONG WITH
