NWS Marquette, MI wrote its last area forecast discussion before this gale warning went out at Apr 10, 3:54 PM EDT, 1 hour 36 minutes earlier.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
354 PM EDT TUE APR 10 2012

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 352 PM EDT TUE APR 10 2012

UPPER AIR PATTERN CONSISTS OF A TROUGH OFF THE WEST COAST...A RIDGE
OVER THE ROCKIES AND A DEEP TROUGH ACROSS THE EASTERN U.S. WITH A
CLOSED 500 MB LOW OVER QUEBEC. THERE IS ALSO A TRAILING INVERTED 500
MB TROUGH OVER THE UPPER GREAT LAKES INTO SOUTH CENTRAL CANADA. THIS
INVERTED TROUGH WILL SLOWLY SINK SOUTHWARD TODAY WITH SOME ENERGY
CLIPPING THE EASTERN CWA WITH A SHORTWAVE ROTATING AROUND THE 500 MB
CLOSED LOW OVER QUEBEC. THERE IS ALSO A 500 MB RIDGE THAT WILL
ROTATE DOWN THE INVERTED TROUGH AND BUILD INTO THE AREA TONIGHT.

NAM SHOWS SOME 850-500 MB Q-VECTOR CONVERGENCE AND SOME MOISTURE
CLIPPING THE EASTERN CWA THIS AFTERNOON. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO
PRODUCE SOME SNOW SHOWERS THIS AFTERNOON. BOTH MOVE OUT BY EVENING
SO THE SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE COMING TO AN END THIS EVENING ACROSS THE
CWA. NAM ALSO SHOWING SOME WEAK ISENTROPIC LIFT ON I280K SURFACE
WITH SOME MOISTURE CLIPPING THE ERN CWA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
ONCE THE 500 MB RIDGE MOVES IN TONIGHT INTO WED...THIS WILL HELP TO
DECREASE THE CLOUDS ACROSS THE AREA AND DRY WEATHER WILL THEN
PREVAIL. DID NOT MAKE MANY CHANGES TO THE GOING FORECAST FOR
TEMPERATURES OR WEATHER.

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 352 PM EDT TUE APR 10 2012

WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY...UPR PATTERN BEGINS WITH ONE TROUGH
OVR WESTERN CONUS AND ANOTHER OVER EAST COAST. IN BTWN A SHARP RIDGE
IS IN PLACE AND THIS WILL BEGIN TO DRIFT TOWARD UPR LAKES. ONE LAST
SHORTWAVE TO DEAL WITH IN NNW FLOW ON WEST SIDE OF EASTERN TROUGH
TOWARD DAYBREAK ON THURSDAY. REALLY THE WAVE IS THERE IN NAME ONLY
THOUGH AS THERE IS A VOID OF MOISTURE EVEN IN MID LEVELS WITH LARGE
SCALE SFC-H85 RIDGE IN PLACE. PERHAPS COULD BE SHALLOW FEW-SCT LOW
CLOUDS OVR CNTRL CWA AS NAM INDICATES GIVEN EXTENT OF 950MB MOISTURE
CURRENTLY UPSTREAM OVR ONTARIO.

SFC RIDGE SLIDES THROUGH ON THURSDAY...LEADING TO LIGHT WINDS
SUPPLEMENTED BY LOCAL LK BREEZES. MORE OF THE SAME INTO THURSDAY
NIGHT AS THE SFC HIGH DRIFTS WEST-TO-EAST ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES.
DRY AIR STAYS IN PLACE AS WARM FRONT BEGINS TO DEVELOP OVR THE MID
MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY. GIVEN LIGHT WINDS...EXPECT HIGH DIURNAL
SWINGS FM NIGHTTIME LOWS TO DAYTIME HIGHS THURSDAY. MAIN ISSUE WILL
BE LOWERING RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES...BUT LIGHT WINDS SHOULD
LARGELY MITIGATE ANY FIRE WX ISSUES.

FRIDAY A BIT TRICKY AS GFS AND ECMWF ARE COMPLETELY AT ODDS ON HOW
QUICKLY INITIAL TROUGH PUSHING INTO NORTHERN PLAINS EDGES INTO UPR
LAKES. GFS HAS BEEN INSISTENT SHOWING LARGE AREA OF H7 MOISTURE
ADVECTION/QPF RACING INTO THE UPR LAKES AS EARLY AS FRIDAY MORNING.
ECMWF SHOWS SIMILAR SETUP BUT IS 12-18 HRS LATER WITH ARRIVAL.
CANADIAN GEM IN BTWN AS IS THE GFS ENSEMBLE. WILL KEEP SOME SMALL
POPS IN OVR FAR WEST CWA ON FRIDAY...BUT FOR MOST PART BETTER
CHANCES OF RAIN SHOULD ARRIVE FRIDAY NIGHT.

IN THE EXTENDED...DESPITE THE INITIAL DIFFERENCES THERE IS DECENT
AGREMENT IN THE MODELS ON OVERALL LOOK TO THE LARGE SCALE PATTERN
THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. RIDGE OVR THE CENTRAL CONUS WILL
CONTINUE PUSHING ACROSS THE REST OF THE GREAT LAKES TO START THE
PERIOD WHILE DEEP TROUGH /CURRENTLY IN THE FORM OF TWO TROUGHS FM
NEAR THE ALLUTIANS TO OFFSHORE OF THE WESTERN CONUS COAST/ SETTLES
OVR MUCH OF THE WESTERN CONUS DURING THE WEEKEND. IN BTWN THE TWO
FEATURES...SW FLOW WILL INCREASE AVAILABLE MOISTURE INTO THE WESTERN
GREAT LAKES WITH ECMWF INDICATING DWPNTS AOA +10C. STRONG JET ENERGY
INTERACTING WITH THE MOISTURE ADVECTION ALONG WITH SFC-H85 LOWS
LIFTING NORTHEAST ALONG BEST TEMPERATURE GRADIENT SHOULD BRING
PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND POSSIBLE TSRA /MAINLY SOUTH AND EAST CWA ON
SATURDAY EVENING ON NOSE OF H85 JET/ ACROSS UPR LAKES REGION THROUGH
THE WEEKEND. ONE NOTEABLE DIFFERENCE IS THAT GFS IS QUICKER IN
SLIDING H85 TROUGH THROUGH WHICH WOULD LEAD TO DRIER CONDITIONS BY
LATE IN THE WEEKEND THAN ECMWF OR CANADIAN INDICATES. GFS AND
ASSOCIATED ENSEMBLES HAVE BEEN INSISTENT ON A MORE PROGRESSIVE
SOLUTION SO CANNOT COMPLETELY RULE IT OUT AT THIS POINT. SFC-H85 HIGH
PRESSURE OVER MANITOBA AND ONTARIO IS FCST TO BRING DRY AND COOLER
CONDITIONS TO UPR LAKES EARLY NEXT WEEK. &&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 123 PM EDT TUE APR 10 2012

STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE UPPER GREAT LAKES WILL RESULT IN
STRONG NW FLOW DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE TAF PERIOD. WINDS WILL
CONTINUE TO MIX DOWN TO THE SURFACE AT ALL THREE TAF SITES RESULTING
IN GUSTY WINDS THIS AFTERNOON. ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL ALSO
BE PRESENT AS WINDS FLOW OFF THE LAKE...HOWEVER DRY SURFACE LAYER
SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO KEEP PREVAILING VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE TAF
PERIOD. SOME MVFR CIGS COULD BE POSSIBLE AT KCMX WHERE THE NW WIND
UPSLOPES AND MOISTENS A BIT...BUT NOT IN FULL CONFIDENCE AT THIS
POINT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BEGIN BUILDING IN FROM THE WEST AND ALLOW
SKIES TO SCATTER OUT. KEPT BKN SKIES IN LONGER FOR KSAW DUE TO WINDS
SHIFTING TO A MORE FAVORABLE UPSLOPING NRLY DIRECTION. PUT IN LLWS
AT SAW THIS EVENING WITH STRONG WINDS OFF THE SFC.
&&

.MARINE...(FOR THE 4 PM LAKE SUPERIOR FORECAST ISSUANCE)
ISSUED AT 352 PM EDT TUE APR 10 2012

PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN LATE THIS AFTERNOON...SO
THE GALE SHOULD BE COMING TO AN END SHORTLY ACROSS EASTERN LAKE
SUPERIOR. WINDS WILL VEER TO THE NORTH BY NIGHTFALL AND CONTINUE TO
WEAKEN THROUGH WEDNESDAY WITH NO GALES SEEN AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES
IN THROUGH FRIDAY.
