.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 842 PM EDT WED AUG 15 2012

TENDED TO SLOW DOWN EWD PROGRESSION OF SHRA/TS NOW IN MN INTO WRN
UPR MI WITH LLVL SE FLOW TENDING TO MAINTAIN DRY LLVL AIR SHOWN ON
THE 00Z APX RAOB OVER THE CWA. THE 12Z CNDN MODEL APPEARS TO HAVE
THE BEST HANDLE ON THIS SLOWER EWD PROGRESSION. EVEN THOUGH VIGOROUS
DYNAMICS ASSOCIATED WITH POTENT SHRTWV MOVING E THRU THE NRN PLAINS
ARE ACTING ON THIS LINE OF SHRA/TS DURING PEAK HEATING TIME...SVR
STORMS HAVE BEEN FEW AND FAR BTWN IN MN. SINCE MODELS SHOW WEAKER
MUCAPES IN THE 400-800 J/KG RANGE OVER THE CWA TNGT...SVR THREAT
SEEMS LO. DESPITE THE PRESENCE OF THIS LARGER SCALE DRY LLVL
AIR...THE 00Z GRB RAOB SHOWS AN AREA OF HIER MID LVL MSTR WITH KINX
OF 33. RADAR SHOWS SOME ISOLD -SHRA OVER NE WI MOVING TOWARD MNM
COUNTY AND HIER MUCAPE OVER THE SE CWA SHOWN ON THE SPC
MESOANALYSIS. SO INTRODUCED SOME ISOLD SHRA/TS OVER THE SE ZNS THRU
06Z. MAINTAINED THE INCRSG POPS LATER TNGT OVER THE CNTRL ZNS AS THE
CNDN MODEL SHOWS HIER QPF AFT 09Z AS DYNAMICS INTERACT WITH MORE
ABUNDANT MID LVL MSTR SHOWN ON THE GRB RAOB AND WSHFT TO THE SW
AHEAD OF APRCHG COLD FNT MIGHT ALLOW MORE LLVL MSTR TO ARRIVE.
&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 425 PM EDT WED AUG 15 2012

WV IMAGERY AND RUC ANALYSIS INDICATED A POSITIVE TILT MID/UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH FROM NRN MANITOBA INTO ERN MT WITH A DOWNSTREAM RIDGE
FROM THE WRN GREAT LAKES INTO NRN ONTARIO. AT THE SFC...A COLD FRONT
EXTENDED THROUGH THE ERN DAKOTAS FROM LOW PRES OVER SE MANITOBA.
LIGHT SHOWERS OVER WRN WI THAT HAD DEVELOPED WITH WAA/305-310K
ISENTROPIC LIFT HAD DISSIPATED AS THEY MOVED INTO DRIER AIR TO THE
EAST...LEAVING MAINLY JUST BKN MID CLOUDS UPSTREAM OVER NW WI. SCT
SHRA/TSRA HAD ALSO DEVELOPED AHEAD OF THE FRONT OVER NW MN.

TONIGHT AND THURSDAY...EVEN THOUGH THE NAM/RUC SEEM OVERDONE WITH
THE AMOUNT OF WAA PCPN INTO THE AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...COMPARED TO CURRENT TRENDS...CANNOT RULE OUT SOME LIGHT
SHOWERS DEVELOPING OVER THE WEST THIS EVENING WHERE SLIGHT CHANCE
POPS WERE RETAINED. OTHERWISE...MORE WIDESPREAD PCPN SHOULD MOVE
INTO THE CWA...MAINLY AFT 06Z AS THE MODELS HAVE TRENDED TOWARD A
SLOWER ARRIVAL OF GREATEST SHRA/TSRA CHANCES. FAVORABLE DYNAMICS
WITH 700-300 MB QVECTOR CONV AHEAD OF THE MID LEVEL TROUGH AND LOW
LEVEL CONV WITH THE FRONT SHOULD SUPPORT CATEGORICAL POPS LATE
TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING. THE SHRA/TSRA SHOULD EXIT CNTRL UPPER
MI IN THE MORNING AND THE ERN CWA DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON. THERE
IS LESS CONFIDENCE WITH POTENTIAL FOR HIGHER PCPN AMOUNTS OR SEVERE
WEATHER AS THE GREATER MOISTURE INFLOW AND INSTABILITY WILL REMAIN
FARTHER SOUTH OVER WI.

STRENGTHENING WIND FIELDS WITH 0-6KM SHEAR VALUES INTO THE 30-35 KT
ARE EXPECTED AS THE SHRA/TSRA ARRIVES BUT MAY LAG THE BEST LOW LEVEL
FORCING. NEVERTHELESS THERE IS LIMITED SVR POTENTIAL WITH MUCAPE
VALUES FCST INTO THE 500-1000 J/KG RANGE. IF STRONGER LINEAR
CONVECTIVE AREAS SURVIVE AS THEY MOVE OUT OF MN AND NW WI...SOME
DAMAGING WIND GUSTS MAY BE POSSIBLE AS THE MAIN HAZARD...PER SPC.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 425 PM EDT WED AUG 15 2012

TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE EXTENDED WILL REMAIN BELOW NORMAL WITH A
WARMING TREND BEGINNING LATE IN THE PERIOD.

THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...THE UPPER LEVEL AND SURFACE
LOW WILL BECOME VERTICALLY STACKED THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY AS THE
LOW SHIFTS FROM CENTRAL ONTARIO NORTH AND EASTWARD TO JAMES BAY. AS
THIS HAPPENS THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AXIS WILL SWING ACROSS UPPER
MICHIGAN. THE COOLER AIR ALOFT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS TROUGH WILL HELP
TO CREATE CONDITIONS FAVORABLE FOR LAKE EFFECT RAIN SHOWERS ACROSS
MAINLY CENTRAL PORTIONS OF UPPER MICHIGAN. H850 TEMPS ARE PROGGED TO
BE AROUND 4 TO 6C WITH SURFACE TEMPS AROUND 18 TO 19C ACROSS THE
AREA...WHICH SHOULD CREATE A LARGE ENOUGH TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE TO
CAUSE THE LAKE EFFECT RAIN SHOWERS TO FORM. ALONG WITH THE RAIN
SHOWERS...HIGH WINDS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE OVER THE LAKE THURSDAY
AFTERNOON INTO THURSDAY NIGHT AS 30 TO 35 KNOT WINDS...AS SHOWN BY
THE EC/GFS...MIX DOWN TO THE LAKE SURFACE. AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW
SHIFTS NORTHEASTWARD AND THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AXIS SHIFTS PAST THE
UPPER PENINSULA FRIDAY NIGHT...H850 TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO
WARM...EFFECTIVELY REDUCING THE LAKE EFFECT RAIN SHOWER CHANCES. A
COOL NIGHT IS IN STORE FOR FRIDAY NIGHT AS WINDS BECOME LIGHT AND
SKIES BECOME MOSTLY CLEAR. TEMPERATURES AREA EXPECTED TO BE IN THE
LOW TO MID 40S ACROSS MAINLY INLAND AREAS...WITH A FEW OF THE USUAL
COOL SPOTS POTENTIALLY FALLING INTO THE UPPER 30S.

SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY...A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL PUSH SOUTHWARD INTO
THE U.P. SATURDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY. A 500MB SHORTWAVE IS
ALSO PROGGED TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH
MONDAY...AS IT ROTATES AROUND THE LOW CENTERED OVER JAMES BAY. THIS
SHOULD PROVIDE ENOUGH FORCING FOR A FEW SHOWERS TO DEVELOP THROUGH
THIS TIME PERIOD...HOWEVER...MOISTURE SHOULD BE FAIRLY LIMITED AS A
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL REMAIN CENTERED TO THE SOUTH
SOUTHWEST OF THE AREA KEEPING DRIER AIR ADVECTING INTO THE AREA FROM
THE WEST.

MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW BEGINS TO
DRIFT SLOWLY EASTWARD...A RIDGE BUILDING OVER MUCH OF THE PLAINS
STATES WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN AS IT TRIES TO BUILD EASTWARD INTO THE
UPPER GREAT LAKES REGION. THIS SHOULD ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO INCREASE
TO NEAR NORMAL LEVELS BY TUESDAY AND INTO THE DAY WEDNESDAY. TUESDAY
NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY BOTH THE GFS/EC HAVE A SHORTWAVE ROTATING
AROUND THE RIDGE ALONG WITH A SURFACE LOW JUST TO THE WEST OF THE
REGION...BRINGING THE NEXT CHANCE OF SHOWERS TO THE AREA.
HOWEVER...WITH CONSIDERABLE DIFFERENCES IN SURFACE LOW PLACEMENT AND
STRENGTH HAVE DECIDED TO STICK TO A CONSENSUS OF THE MODELS.
&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 117 AM EDT THU AUG 16 2012

EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS AT TAF ISSUANCE AT ALL 3 TAF SITES...BUT THE
APRCH OF A COLD FNT EARLY THIS MRNG WL BRING THE THREAT OF SHRA AND
PERHAPS A TS. INCLUDED AN EXPLICIT MENTION OF TS ONLY AT IWD WHERE
LATEST ANALYSIS SHOWS SOMEWHAT GREATER INSTABILITY. FOLLOWING THE
FROPA...A WSHFT TO THE WNW WL ADVECT COOLER AND MOISTER LLVL AIR
INTO THE AREA...RESULTING IN SOME LO CLDS/MVFR CONDITIONS AND
STRENGTHENING WINDS. THE BEST CHC FOR IFR CONDITIONS AND STRONGER
WINDS WL BE AT THE MORE EXPOSED CMX SITE WITH A MORE PRONOUNCED
UPSLOPE WIND COMPONENT. EXPECT THESE LO CIGS TO SLOWLY LIFT DURING
THE DAY TO VFR. BUT MVFR CIGS MAY LINGER THRU THIS EVNG AT CMX...
WHERE WIND GUSTS MAY APRCH 35 KTS WITH THE APRCH OF AXIS OF COOLEST
AIR/MORE INSTABILITY.
&&

.MARINE...(FOR THE 4 PM LAKE SUPERIOR FORECAST ISSUANCE)
ISSUED AT 425 PM EDT WED AUG 15 2012

AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH LAKE SUPERIOR...EXPECT A SHARP WIND
SHIFT TO THE W LATE TONIGHT AND THU FOLLOWING THIS FRONTAL PASSAGE.
THE ARRIVAL OF MUCH COOLER AIR IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT OVER THE
WARM WATERS OF LAKE SUPERIOR WILL ALSO RESULT IN ENHANCED MIXING
OVER THE LAKE WITH W-NW WINDS UP TO 30 KTS AND POSSIBLE GALES TO 35
KNOTS OVER THE N CNTRL PORTION OF THE LAKE...FROM LATE THURSDAY
AFTERNOON THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT WHERE A GALE WATCH WAS POSTED.
