AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
1249 PM EDT MON APR 9 2012

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 522 AM EDT MON APR 9 2012

NOSE OF SHORTWAVE OVER THE ARROWHEAD OF MN WILL MOVE ACROSS THE
AREA THIS MORNING AND BRING WITH IT ADDITIONAL MOISTURE. AT THE
SFC...SFC TROUGH/COLD FRONT CURRENTLY OVER WRN LK SUPERIOR. AS
THESE TWO FEATURES SLIDE TO THE SE THROUGH THE MORNING
HOURS...EXPECT COLDER AIR AND MID LVL MOISTURE...CURRENTLY NOTED ON
RUC ANALYSIS AND SATELLITE IMAGERY IN NRN MN TO MOVE INTO THE AREA.
THE CLOUDS CURRENTLY OVER THE CNTRL CWA AND ASSOCIATED WITH AREA OF
H700 MOISTURE AND STEEPER LAPSE RATES SHOULD SLIDE SE THIS MORNING
WITH THE APPROACHING WAVE. NOT OVERLY IMPRESSED WITH WHAT IS GOING
ON WITH SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH THE ARROWHEAD...LITTLE TO NO CLOUDS
AHEAD OF THE WAVE AND MAINLY VFR CLOUDS BEHIND THE SHORTWAVE. SOME
LIGHT RETURNS ON CANADIAN RADAR IN SRN MANITOBA AND SW ONTARIO...AND
ONLY SEEING A FEW OBS REPORTING -SN...WHICH MAKES SENSE WITH
CLOUD BASES AROUND 4KFT AND DEWPOINT DEPRESSIONS AROUND 10F. THESE
CLOUDS SHOULD WORK IN FROM W TO E THROUGH THE MORNING AND EARLY AFTN
HOURS. DIURNAL MIXING MAY LIMIT SOUTHEASTWARD EXTENT...BUT EXPECT
MOST LOCATIONS TO BECOME MOSTLY CLOUDY BY MID AFTN...EXCEPT FAR ERN
UPPER MI WHERE THE DRY AIR WILL HOLD ON THE LONGEST.

MODELS INSISTENT ON SOME LIGHT QPF ASSOCIATED WITH THE
SHORTWAVE...BUT WITH LIMITED UPSTREAM PCPN REPORTS AND THE DRY LLVL
AIR...DECIDED TO TRIM BACK PCPN MENTION TO ISOLATED WORDING DUE TO
LIMITED CONFIDENCE AND DRY AIR TRYING TO EVAPORATE SOME OF THE
PCPN. TRIED TO TIME THE PCPN CHANCES WITH THE PASSING OF THE
SHORTWAVE THROUGH MID AFTN AND THEN STARTED A DIMINISHING TREND AS
SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR ARRIVES EVEN THOUGH LLVL LAPSE RATES ARE
STEEPENING WITH H850 TEMPS FALLING FROM -1C EARLY THIS MORNING TO
-8C THIS AFTN. IF PCPN OCCURS...EXPECT IT TO FALL AS SNOW OVER THE
NW HALF OF THE CWA AND MAINLY RAIN OVER THE SE HALF...ALTHOUGH IT
COULD MIX WITH SNOW BEFORE IT ENDS.

EXPECT A MUCH COOLER DAY TODAY...BUT MIXING TO H800 WILL STILL
ALLOW TEMPS TO RISE INTO THE 40S THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON...BEFORE
SLOWLY FALLING WITH THE ARRIVING COLD AIR THIS AFTN. WARMEST TEMPS
WILL BE OVER THE SE HALF...IN UPPER 40S...WHERE LINGERING WARMER
TEMPS ALOFT WILL BE LOCATED. COULD ACTUALLY SEE A FEW 50 DEGREE
VALUES IN A FEW SPOTS NEAR LK MI.

AFTER LIGHT WINDS OVERNIGHT...EXPECT NW WINDS TO INCREASE BEHIND
THE SFC TROUGH THIS MORNING. COULD BE A BRIEF PERIOD OF ENHANCED
GUSTS /UPPER 20S AND LOWER 30S MPH/ MOVING FROM W TO E ACROSS THE
AREA THROUGH EARLY AFTN AS A WEAK PRESSURE FALL/RISE COUPLET MOVES
THROUGH. THE GUSTY WINDS AND DRY LOW LEVELS WILL LEAD TO ANOTHER
FIRE WX RISK...BUT COOLER TEMPS AND INCREASING CLOUDS WILL LIMIT
THE CONCERN.

TONIGHT...TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THE LOW OVER SE QUEBEC
AND HIGH ENTERING THE NRN PLAINS WILL LEAD TO A BREEZY
NIGHT...ESPECIALLY OVER THE ERN HALF OF THE CWA. SHOULD SEE NEAR
GALE FORCE GUSTS OVER ERN LK SUPERIOR...WHICH WILL PRODUCE GUSTS OF
20-35MPH ALONG THE LK SUPERIOR SHORELINE FROM MUNISING EAST.
AFTER SOME DRYING DURING THE EVENING...DEEPER MOISTURE ARRIVES
OVERNIGHT AHEAD OF THE SHORTWAVE ROTATING AROUND THE UPPER LOW IN SE
QUEBEC. THINK THIS WILL GIVE BEST CHANCE OF PCPN OVER THE ERN
CWA BUT WILL LIMIT TO LOW CHANCES DUE TO THE BEST HEIGHT FALLS
STAYING TO THE E OF THE CWA. ELSEWHERE...H850 TEMPS PEAKING AROUND
-8C WOULD LEAD INITIAL THOUGHTS TO POTENTIAL LK ENHANCED
CLOUDS/PCPN. CYCLONIC FLOW...DECENT LK INSTABILITY...AND UPSLOPE
FORCING OVER THE WEST SEEMS POSITIVE FOR PCPN...BUT THINK DRY AIR
NEAR THE SFC WILL LIMIT AFFECT OF THE LLVL FORCING. THIS
LARGELY DEPENDS ON THE MODEL SOLN...NAM SHOWING MUCH MORE LLVL
MOISTURE...WITH CLOUD BASE AT 2.5KFT...WHILE THE GFS HAS BASES
4-5KFT. WITH THE UNCERTAINTY...TRIMMED BACK POPS OVER THE WRN CWA TO
JUST SLIGHTS.

TUES...UPPER LOW OVER SE QUEBEC WILL BE AMPLIFYING THE TROUGH OVER
THE ERN CONUS AS IT PUSHES S. AS THIS PUSHES THE SHORTWAVE THROUGH
THE FAR ERN CWA IN THE MORNING...EXPECT THE PCPN TO DIMINISH THROUGH
THE DAY AS DRIER AIR ARRIVES AND COOLER TEMPS ALOFT MODERATE.
THIS SHOULD LEAD TO DECREASING CLOUDS THROUGH THE AFTN HOURS.
BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE ON TUES...AS THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT REMAINS IN PLACE. WITH THE COOL NW FLOW OFF LK
SUPERIOR...EXPECT HIGHS TO BE BELOW NORMAL AND PEAK IN THE LOWER
40S.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 522 AM EDT MON APR 9 2012

FOR TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...THE UPPER GREAT LAKES WILL BE
LOCATED IN THE MERIDIONAL NORTHERLY FLOW BETWEEN THE BACK SIDE OF AN
EXITING TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN SEABOARD AND AHEAD OF AN AMPLIFYING
RIDGE OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS. THE REDUCTION IN PRESSURE GRADIENT AS
HIGH PRESSURE MOVES IN AND WINDS BECOME MORE NORTHERLY SHOULD BE
ENOUGH TO LET WIND SPEEDS SUBSIDE SLIGHTLY DURING THIS TIME FRAME.
THAT BEING SAID...CONTINUED WITH PREVIOUS FORECAST IDEA OF KEEPING
LOW TEMPERATURES ON THE LOW END OF GUIDANCE...CONSIDERING STRONG
SUBSIDENCE BUILDING IN SHOULD HELP TO REDUCE CLOUD COVER DURING THIS
TIME AND ALLOW FOR STRONG RADIATIONAL COOLING FOR AREAS AWAY FROM
THE LAKE.

AS A STRONG SHORTWAVE BEGINS TO MOVE IN OFF THE WEST COAST DURING
THIS SAME TIME PERIOD...EXPECT THE RIDGE TO BECOME AMPLIFIED OVER
THE UPPER GREAT LAKES DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...ALONG
WITH STRONG SUBSIDENCE AND DRY AIR THAT SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO KEEP THE
WEATHER QUIET ALONG WITH A WARMING TREND. MAIN CONCERN DURING THIS
PERIOD COULD BE LOW RH VALUES /NAMELY THURSDAY/...AS STRONG SURGE OF
DRY AIR COULD ALLOW FOR LOWER DEW POINTS TO MIX DOWN DURING THE
DAYTIME HOURS. RH VALUES WILL BE IN THE UPPER 30S SOUTH CENTRAL
WEDNESDAY...AND ACROSS MUCH OF UPPER MI AWAY FROM THE GREAT LAKES
THURSDAY.

THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...AMPLIFIED RIDGE WILL RESULT IN DRY
CONDITIONS THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT. MODELS THEN START TO DISAGREE AS
A SHORTWAVE EMERGES ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE RIDGE...WITH THE GFS
CONTINUING TO BE THE MOST AGGRESSIVE...BRINGING STRONGER LAPSE
RATES/WAA...AND ASSOCIATED MOISTURE ACROSS THE AREA BY THURSDAY
NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. THE GEM AND ECMWF ARE CONTINUING TO HOLD OFF AND
WILL KEEP THE SHORTWAVE AND STRONGER LAPSE RATES/WAA OUT OF THE AREA
THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/SATURDAY MORNING...ABOUT THE TIME THE GFS HAS
THE PRECIPITATION MOVING OUT. HAVE DECIDED TO GO WITH A CONSENSUS OF
THE MODELS AT THIS PERIOD AND KEEP LOW CHANCE POPS IN FRIDAY THROUGH
SATURDAY.

AT THIS POINT...MAIN SHORTWAVE OFF THE WEST COAST WILL HAVE DUG AN
IMPRESSIVE TROUGH ACROSS THE SOUTHWESTERN CONUS. ECMWF HAS THIS
SHORTWAVE REMAINING NEARLY STATIONARY THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE
FORECAST PERIOD...HOWEVER GFS PRODUCES A SECONDARY SHORTWAVE THAT
WILL MOVE NORTHEASTWARD AT A MUCH FASTER RATE /WHICH ALSO COINCIDES
WITH ITS FASTER TRACK OF THE SHORTWAVE THURSDAY NIGHT/.
REGARDLESS...IF THIS HOLD TRUE...EXPECT SHORTWAVE TO REACH THE UPPER
GREAT LAKES SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING WITH IMPRESSIVE LIFT
AND STRONG LAPSE RATES. THOUGH CONSIDERING MODEL DISAGREEMENT AND
LONG RANGE OF FORECAST...WILL NOT GO HIGHER THAN CHANCE POPS AT THIS
POINT.
&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1249 PM EDT MON APR 9 2012

VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. COULD SEE A
FEW RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS AT THE TAF SITES THIS AFTERNOON...BUT
CONFIDENCE IS LIMITED ON EXACT TIMING/LOCATION SO HAVE LEFT OUT OF
THE TAFS. UPSTREAM OBS AND DRY LOW LEVEL AIR SHOULD KEEP CIGS AT
VFR...BUT COULD SEE A BRIEF DROP TO MVFR IF A SHOWER MOVED OVER A
TAF SITE. WINDS WILL GET GUSTY AGAIN ON TUE WITH MIXING.
&&

.MARINE...(FOR THE 4 AM LAKE SUPERIOR FORECAST ISSUANCE)
ISSUED AT 522 AM EDT MON APR 9 2012

A SURFACE TROUGH MOVING ACROSS LAKE SUPERIOR TODAY WILL SHIFT THE
WINDS TO THE NORTHWEST AND PRODUCE WINDS UP TO 25KTS. AS A LOW
SPINS OVER SOUTHEAST QUEBEC AND HIGH PRESSURE MOVES SE OUT OF THE
CANADIAN PRAIRIES...EXPECT A STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT TO REMAIN
OVER LAKE SUPERIOR. THIS WILL LEAD TO NORTHWEST WINDS UP TO 30
KNOTS THROUGH TUESDAY. THERE COULD BE A FEW GUSTS TO 35KTS OVER
EASTERN LAKE SUPERIOR TONIGHT AND TUESDAY.

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN BY TUESDAY NIGHT SHOULD ALLOW WINDS TO DIE
DOWN AND VEER MORE NRLY. AS SERIES OF SHORTWAVES APPROACH
THURSDAY NIGHT/FRIDAY AND AGAIN ON SUNDAY...WINDS WILL INITIALLY
VEER MORE ERLY THEN REMAIN BETWEEN A PREDOMINATE E AND S
DIRECTION. THIS SHOULD MAKE FOR LIGHT WINDS ON LAKE SUPERIOR DURING
THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD WITH NO EXPECTED MARINE
CONCERNS.
