AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI
333 AM EDT WED OCT 31 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 333 AM EDT WED OCT 31 2012

AREAS OF RAIN WILL STILL SWING OVER THE AREA TODAY AS THE LOW THAT
WAS HURRICANE SANDY MOVES SLOWLY ACROSS THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES.
THE STORM WILL GRADUALLY WEAKEN AND MUCH OF THE PRECIPITATION SHOULD
BE EXITING SOUTHWEST MICHIGAN LATE TONIGHT.  SKIES WILL CLEAR
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...BUT IT WILL REMAIN CHILLY WITH HIGHS ONLY 45
TO 50.

THE WEATHER INTO THE WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK LOOKS RATHER QUIET
BUT CONTINUED COOL.  THERE COULD BE SOME LIGHT RAIN SATURDAY NIGHT
AND SUNDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 333 AM EDT WED OCT 31 2012

DEEP MOISTURE REMAINS OVER THE REGION TODAY AND INTO TONIGHT.
HOWEVER THE AMOUNT OF LIFT THAT THE SYSTEM IS PRODUCING HAS WEAKEN
ALONG WITH THE LOW PRESSURE ITSELF.  THEREFORE ADDITIONAL RAINS WILL
BE SPOTTY...BUT THE THREAT FOR RAIN WILL NOT END UNTIL LATE
TONIGHT.  THERE WILL ALSO BE A WEAK LAKE ENHANCEMENT FROM TIME TO
TIME INTO TONIGHT.  PROFILES SHOW THE MOISTURE IS PROGGED TO BECOME
MORE SHALLOW TOWARD DAYBREAK THURSDAY WHEN THE PCPN SHOULD BE ENDED
OR DIMINISHED TO SPRINKLES.

THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY LOOKS QUIET WITH HIGH PRESSURE SLOWLY
ARRIVING FROM THE WEST.  WE REMAIN UNDER NW FLOW ALOFT...SO TEMPS
WILL REMAIN COOL.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 330 PM EDT TUE OCT 30 2012

FAIR WEATHER CONTINUES THROUGH FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY BEFORE NEXT
POTENTIAL STORM ARRIVES ON SUNDAY WITH THREAT OF RAIN CONTINUING
INTO MONDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL AVERAGE OUT NEAR TO JUST BELOW
NORMAL FOR THE PERIOD.

GFS/ECMWF AGREE OVERALL PATTERN EVOLUTION WITH HEALTHY SHORTWAVE/125
KT JETLET OFF OREGON COAST MOVING EASTWARD THROUGH WEST COAST RIDGE
ON THU/FRI AND THEN INTO GREAT LAKE/OHIO VALLEY ON SUN AND TO THE
EAST COAST BY TUE. ECMWF IS FARTHER SOUTH...WEAKER...AND DRIER WITH
SFC LOW VERSUS GFS.  AT THIS POINT FAVOR THE DRIER ECMWF SOLUTION
AND WILL KEEP CHC POPS FOR MON-TUE. BASICALLY...IN SPITE OF AN
INITIALLY STRONG SHORTWAVE...IT FAILS TO WRAP IN ENOUGH POLAR OR
TROPICAL AIR NEEDED FOR A MORE ROBUST SURFACE LOW DEVELOPMENT. SO
THE SURFACE SYSTEM REMAINS WEAK UNTIL IT REACHES THE EAST COAST.
FAIR WEATHER CONTINUES THROUGH FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY BEFORE NEXT
POTENTIAL STORM ARRIVES ON SUNDAY WITH THREAT OF RAIN CONTINUING
INTO MONDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL AVERAGE OUT NEAR TO JUST BELOW
NORMAL FOR THE PERIOD.
