AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
705 PM EDT WED OCT 10 2012

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 450 PM EDT WED OCT 10 2012

WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND RUC ANALYSIS CONTINUE TO SHOW A TROF OVER
CNTRL NAMERICA. NEXT SHORTWAVE DROPPING INTO THE TROF IS CURRENTLY
HEADING SE THRU SASKATCHEWAN TOWARD SRN MANITOBA. THIS WAVE WILL BE
THE MAIN FCST ISSUE IN THE SHORT TERM. OTHERWISE...ALTHOUGH 850MB
THERMAL TROF (TEMPS OF -6 TO -8C) IS STILL CROSSING THE AREA...LAKE
EFFECT PCPN HAS BEEN GRADUALLY WINDING DOWN FROM W TO E DUE TO
SOMEWHAT DRIER AIR ADVECTING INTO THE AREA AND FLOW BECOMING MORE
ANTICYCLONIC. MORE IMPORTANT NEGATIVE FACTOR IS PROBABLY DAYTIME
HEATING DISRUPTING LAKE EFFECT PROCESSES.

LINGERING LAKE EFFECT PCPN WILL CONTINUE TO DIMINISH AND SHIFT MORE
OFFSHORE AS WINDS BACK WITH SFC HIGH PRES RIDGE PASSING. LAST OF THE
PCPN SHOULD EXIT NRN LUCE COUNTY AROUND 06Z. ATTENTION THEN TURNS TO
APPROACHING SHORTWAVE. THERE ISN'T MUCH DIFFERENCE IN MODELS...BUT
WILL FAVOR THE REGIONAL GEM WHICH HAS BEEN VERY CONSISTENT SHOWING
MORE PCPN WITH THIS SYSTEM. FAIRLY ROBUST DEEP LAYER FORCING PER
QVECTORS ALONG WITH DECENT ISENTROPIC ASCENT (285-290K SFCS)
SUGGESTS PCPN IS A GOOD BET...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE N AND E...CLOSER
TO SHORTWAVE TRACK. PCPN SHOULD SPREAD INTO THE W LATE EVENING AND
REACH THE E OVERNIGHT. 1000-850MB THICKNESSES IN THE 1302-1310M
RANGE SUGGEST A MIX OF RAIN/SNOW WILL OCCUR. HIGH TERRAIN SHOULD BE
PREDOMINANTLY SNOW...TRANSITIONING TO MAINLY RAIN NEAR THE GREAT
LAKES. WITH 0.1 TO 0.3 INCHES OF PCPN...MAY SEE A SLUSHY INCH OR TWO
OF SNOW ACCUMULATION IN THE HIGH TERRAIN. WINDS MAY BACK JUST ENOUGH
FOR SOME LAKE ENHANCEMENT OFF LAKE MICHIGAN INTO THE FAR ERN FCST
AREA...SO PCPN AMOUNTS MAY BE HIGHER THERE. WITH LOW-LEVELS SLIGHTLY
WARMER...LAKE ENHANCED PCPN OVER THE E SHOULD BE MOSTLY IN THE FORM
OF RAIN. TEMPS WILL HAVE A BRIEF OPPORTUNITY TO FALL THIS EVENING
(SHOULD FALL BLO FREEZING IN MANY AREAS)...BUT THICKENING CLOUDS
WILL RESULT IN TEMPS RISING A LITTLE AFTER EARLY LOWS.

THERE MAY BE A BRIEF PERIOD OF NW FLOW LAKE ENHANCEMENT THU MORNING
BEFORE FORCING EXITS AND STRONG DEEP LAYER QVECTOR DIVERGENCE AND
MID LEVEL DRYING ARRIVE. THAT WILL HELP MORE WIDESPREAD PCPN LINGER
A BIT LONGER IN THE AREAS AFFECTED BY NW FLOW OFF LAKE SUPERIOR. CAA
DROPS 850MB TEMPS TO -5 TO -7C DURING THE DAY...WHICH WILL SUPPORT
SOME LAKE EFFECT PCPN. GIVEN EARLY SEASON/DIURNAL HEATING...IT WILL
BE MORE OF A HYBRID TYPE PCPN PATTERN WITH NOT SO MUCH BANDING OFF
THE LAKE...BUT ISOLD/SCT SHOWERS EXTENDING WELL INLAND.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 450 PM EDT WED OCT 10 2012

THURSDAY NIGHT...THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL EXIT THE NRN GREAT LAKES
WITH STRONG STRONG 700-300 MB QVECTOR CONV IN ITS WAKE. AS SFC HIGH
PRES BUILDS FROM THE NRN PLAINS INTO THE UPPER MS VALLEY NW FLOW WILL
CONTINUE ACROSS LAKE SUPERIOR WITH 850 MB TEMPS INTO THE -7C TO -8C
RANGE. WITH WATER TEMPS FROM 7C TO 12C...THERE WILL BE MORE THAN
ENOUGH INSTABILITY TO SUSTAIN LAKE EFFECT PCPN. EVEN THROUGH OVERALL
WINDS WILL BE NORTHWEST...EXPECT THEAT LAKE INDUCED TROUGHING WILL
HELP TO FOCUS LOW LEVEL CONV INTO AREAS NEAR P53 AND GRAND MARAIS.
ALTHOUGH THE LONG FETCH ACROSS THE LAKE WILL KEEP TEMPS RELATIVELY
WARM OVER THE EAST...EXPECT MAINLY SNOW WITH A COATING TO HALF AN
INCH OF ACCUMULATION IN SOME LOCATIONS. OVER THE WEST...THE PCPN WILL
TAPER OFF SOONER AS THE RIDGE AND BUILDS TOWARD THE AREA WITH LIGHT
ACYC FLOW.

FRI...ANY LINGERING LAKE EFFECT PCPN INTO THE NORTHEAST CWA WILL
TAPER OFF QUICKLY IN THE MORNING AS WINDS BACK WITH THE RIDGE
BUILDING INTO THE AREA. SUNSHINE AND DEVELOPING WAA WITH SW FLOW
SHOULD HELP PUSH TEMPS INTO THE MID AND UPPER 40S...PER FCST
SOUNDINGS.

FRI NIGHT AND SAT...MODELS WERE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE OVERALL
PATTERN RESULTING IN STRONG WAA AND MOISTURE ADVECTION INTO THE
UPPER GREAT LAKES AS A STRONG SHRTWV MOVES THROUGH THE CNTRL PLAINS.
300K-310K ISENTROPIC LIFT SUPPORTED BY UPPER LEVEL DIV WITH THE
RIGHT EXIT REGION OF THE 250-300 JET OVER NRN ONTARIO WILL SUPPORT
WIDESPREAD RAIN FROM WI SPREADING INTO UPPER MI. THE NAM/SREF WAS
PREFERRED IN WITH A LATER ONSET OF PCPN AND KEEPING THE GREATER QPF
A BIT FARTHER SOUTH...CLOSER TO THE 850 MB WARM FRONT AND GREATER
ELEVATED CAPE.

SAT NIGHT INTO SUN...THE GFS...12Z GEFS AND GEM REMAINED A BIT
FARTHER NORTH WITH THE TRACK OF THE MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE AND SFC LOW
COMPARED TO THE ECMWF. SO...THERE IS GREATER UNCERTAINTY WITH THE
POSITION AND POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY PCPN ASSOCIATED WITH THE STRONG
FGEN/DEF AS THE 700 MB LOW MOVES THROUGH. WITH EITHER SCENARIO...A
COLD WIND DRIVEN RAIN MAY LINGER INTO SUNDAY WITH WRAP-AROUND PCPN
AND SOME LAKE ENHANCEMENT OFF OF LAKE SUPERIOR AS 850 MB TEMPS DROP
TO AROUND 0C.

MON-WED...MODELS WERE SIMILAR WITH A PROGRESSIVE PATTERN EARLY NEXT
WEEK BUT SHOW EXPECTED DIFFERENCES WITH DETAILS. A WAA PATTERN WITH
THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE RAIN...ESPECIALLY FROM TUE NIGHT INTO
WED...PER MDLS CONSENSUS. TEMPS ARE EXPECTED CLIMB BACK VALUES AOA
SEASONAL AVERAGES.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 705 PM EDT WED OCT 10 2012

VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD BE THE RULE AT KIWD/KCMX/KSAW THIS EVENING. A
DISTURBANCE WILL QUICKLY MOVE INTO THE AREA TONIGHT. EXPECT A PERIOD
OF MVFR CONDITIONS AS -SN/-RA SPREAD ACROSS THE AREA. PCPN SHOULD BE
MAINLY SN AT KCMX/KSAW. PCPN WILL DIMINISH/END LATE TONIGHT/THU
MORNING...BUT MVFR CIGS MAY LINGER THRU THE MORNING AT KCMX/KSAW.
&&

.MARINE...(FOR THE 4 PM LAKE SUPERIOR FORECAST ISSUANCE)
ISSUED AT 450 PM EDT WED OCT 10 2012

ATTENTION OVER THE NEXT 24HRS IS ON LOW PRES WHICH WILL BE MOVING
ACROSS OR JUST N OF LAKE SUPERIOR LATE TONIGHT AND THU MORNING.
STRONGEST WINDS THRU EARLY THIS EVENING WILL BE OVER ERN LAKE
SUPERIOR WHERE NW WINDS WILL BE GUSTING TO 30KT WITH A FEW GUSTS TO
GALE FORCE. WINDS WILL BRIEFLY BE IN THE 15-25KT RANGE FOR A TIME
TONIGHT BEFORE INCREASING AGAIN LATE AS THE LOW ARRIVES IN THE UPPER
LAKES. SW WINDS MAY GUST TO NEAR 30KT LATE TONIGHT. OF MORE CONCERN
WILL BE THE NW WINDS DEVELOPING THU AS THE LOW SHIFTS E OF THE LAKE.
AIDED BY INCREASINGLY COLDER AIR AND PRES RISES APPROACHING FROM THE
NW...A PERIOD OF NW GALES IS A POSSIBILITY OVER THE E HALF OF LAKE
SUPERIOR. MAY NEED TO HOIST A GALE WARNING IF NEW GUIDANCE ARRIVING
THIS EVENING MORE SOLIDLY SUPPORTS GALES.

A MODERATELY STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO TRACK THROUGH
THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES. SOUTH WINDS OF 15 TO 25 KNOTS ARE EXPECTED
AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM SATURDAY WHILE NORTHERLY 15 TO 25 KNOT WINDS ARE
WILL DEVELOP AS THE LOW PULLS AWAY SUNDAY.
