AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
506 PM EDT SAT APR 14 2012

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 504 PM EDT SAT APR 14 2012

DEEP MIXING ALLOWED TEMPS TO RISE INTO THE 70S OVER THE INTERIOR W
HALF WITH ENOUGH DRY AIR MIXED DOWN/LOW RH TO BRING FIRE CONDITIONS
TO RED FLAG CRITERIA THIS AFTN. CONDITIONS WILL QUICKLY EASE THIS
EVENING AS WINDS DIMINISH WITH LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING/MIXING. IT
WILL THEN BE A QUIET EVENING INTO THE EARLY OVERNIGHT UNDER DRY
AIRMASS. LEANED TOWARD SOME OF THE COOLER GUIDANCE FOR MINS WITH
OPPORTUNITY FOR TEMPS TO FALL RAPIDLY AFTER SUNSET UNDER DRY AIRMASS
AND LIGHT/CALM WIND BEFORE HIGH CLOUDS ARRIVE. SOME OF THE
TRADITIONAL COLD SPOTS SHOULD SLIP INTO THE 30S.

ATTENTION LATER TONIGHT TURNS TO WAA/ISENTROPIC ASCENT DEVELOPING N
INTO WRN GREAT LAKES IN RESPONSE TO DEEP TROF PROGRESSING OUT OF THE
ROCKIES. LOOKS LIKE A LEAD WAVE IS OVER THE WRN PLAINS CURRENTLY.
THIS WAVE SHOULD HELP BRING WEAKENING SHRA/POSSIBLE TSRA INTO THE
SRN PORTIONS OF THE W HALF OF UPPER MI WELL AFTER MIDNIGHT.

AS SFC LOW LIFTS INTO SRN MN SUN...WARM FRONT WILL STRUGGLE N. WITH
SLOWER MORE W TRACK TREND INDICATED BY MOST 12Z MODELS...HAVE SOME
DOUBTS AS TO WHETHER SFC WARM FRONT WILL REACH UPPER MI SUN AFTN...
ESPECIALLY SINCE SHRA/TSRA SHOULD BE FAIRLY NMRS ALONG/N OF
BOUNDARY. AND OF COURSE...THE CHILLY LAKES WILL FURTHER ASSIST IN
INHIBITING NORTHWARD MOVEMENT OF WARM FRONT. AT THIS POINT...HAVE
MADE THE ASSUMPTION THAT FRONT WILL STAY S OF UPPER MI THRU 00Z MON.
THIS SHOULD KEEP MAIN SVR THREAT S OF THE FCST AREA THRU SUN AFTN.
HOWEVER...WITH ELEVATED INSTABILITY...HAIL WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT
IF ANY STRONG STORMS HAPPEN TO DEVELOP N OF THE WARM FRONT SUN AFTN.
IF FRONT REMAINS S OF UPPER MI AND PCPN IS WIDESPREAD...TEMPS MAY BE
QUITE A BIT COOLER THAN REFLECTED IN THIS FCST (LOW 50S N TO LOW 60S
TOWARD WI BORDER). UTILIZED A NON-DIURNAL TEMP TREND FOR HRLY TEMPS.
AS WARM FRONTAL ZONE SHARPENS...WINDS WILL PROBABLY BACK A BIT MORE
OFF LAKE SUPERIOR DURING THE AFTN...RESULTING IN TEMPS FALLING
BACK...POSSIBLY TOWARD 40F ESPECIALLY FROM THE KEWEENAW TOWARD
MARQUETTE.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 504 PM EDT SAT APR 14 2012

SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY SHAPING UP TO BE A BUSY WEATHER PERIOD OVR
UPR MI. UPPER LOW IS FCST TO BE OVER SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA SUNDAY
EVENING WHILE SFC LOW OF 985-990MB MOVES TO WCNTRL WI. WARM FRONT
WILL BE TRYING TO PUSH INTO SCNTRL UPR MI...BUT THINK THE LATEST NAM
SHOWING THE FRONT ONLY INTO FAR SW UPR MI /IRONWOOD TO CRYSTAL
FALLS/ IS BETTER FIT AS FARTHER NORTH AND EAST...SOUTHEAST FLOW OFF
THE GREAT LAKES SHOULD ACT TO HOLD UP THE FRONT. RESERVOIR OF
INSTABILITY LURKS ALONG AND SOUTH OF WARM FRONT WITH H7-H5 LAPSE
RATES AOA 7C/KM AND 0-3KM MUCAPE 500-1200J/KG WITH MAX OVR WCNTRL
WISCONSIN. MLCAPES PRETTY MUCH REMAIN TO THE SOUTH OF
WISCONSIN/MICHIGAN BORDER. SHOULD BE INCREASED COVERAGE TO SHOWERS
SUNDAY EVENING AS LARGE AREA OF HEIGHT FALLS WITH UPR LOW COMBINE
WITH NOSE OF H925-H85 THETA-E RIDGE AND MAX H85-H7 MOISTURE
TRANSPORT. THROUGH 06Z MONDAY...SOLID COVERAGE TO SHOWERS LIKELY
ENDS UP OVR NORTHWEST CWA WITHIN H85-H5 AND H7-H3 Q-VECTOR
CONVERGENCE JUST AHEAD OF UPR LOW. FARTHER TO THE EAST...BETTER SHOT
AT THUNDER IN THE EVENING SFC LOW/WARM FRONT WORK TO THE NORTHEAST.
1-3KM MUCAPE UP TO 1000J/KG OVR SCNTRL AND EAST COMBINED WITH DEEP
LAYER SHEAR UP TO 70 KTS MAY SUPPORT SOME RISK OF ORGANIZED
CONVECTION AT LEAST EARLY IN THE EVENING. BETTER RISK WILL BE
FARTHER SOUTH...BUT STORMS WITH MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL ARE NOT OUT
OF THE QUESTION. ADDITIONALLY...GIVEN MOIST FLOW OFF LK MICHIGAN...
LOW-LEVELS WILL BE STABLE BUT H5/H8 WINDS AND ARRIVAL OF H7-H5 DRY
SLOT SUGGESTS THAT THERE IS AT LEAST A SMALL RISK OF DYNAMIC BOW
ECHO/SQUALL LINE PUSHING INTO PORTIONS OF UPR MI FM THE SOUTH. ALL
THIS JIVES PRETTY WELL WITH SPC UPGRADE TO HIGH-END SLIGHT RISK INTO
SCNTRL UPR MI FOR THE DAY2 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK.

SFC LOW SHOULD PUSH INTO CNTRL UPR MI OVERNIGHT AND EARLY MONDAY
MORNING. A NOTED FARTHER NW TREND TO THE SFC LOW AND THE SURGE OF
WARM AIR INTO THE UPR LAKES. APPEARS THAT ANY WINTRY PRECIPITATION
WILL NOT ARRIVE OVR FAR WESTERN CWA TIL AFT 10Z ON MONDAY. ADJUSTED
PTYPE ACCORDINGLY. CYCLONIC FLOW IS STRONGER IN LATEST MODEL RUNS FM
12Z. EXTENT OF COLD AIR PUSHING INTO THE AREA VARIES WILDLY...WITH
NAM COLDEST /H85 TEMPS AOB -10C AT IWD AT 12Z/ WHILE REGIONAL GEM IS
WARMEST /H85 TEMPS AOA +3C AT THE SAME TIME/. EVENTUALLY THOUGH
COLDER AIR PUSHES INTO NW UPR MI IN THE MORNING THEN ACROSS REST OF
CWA THROUGH THE DAY. STRONG/GUSTY NORTH WINDS WILL BE COMMON OVR
MUCH OF THE AREA WITH GUSTS MAYBE NEARING ADVY /45 MPH/ ALONG LK
SUPERIOR FM BIG BAY AND MARQUETTE EAST TO GRAND MARAIS. COULD BE IN
FOR AT LEAST A FEW INCHES OF SNOW MONDAY MORNING OVER HIGHER TERRAIN
OF NORTHWEST CWA AND PERHAPS NORTH CENTRAL CWA. TIGHTER 925-850MB

FRONTOGENESIS FURTHER AND WOULD LIKELY RESULT IN ADVY LEVEL SNOW
AMOUNTS IN ISOLD AREAS OF NORTHWEST CWA. COLD CONVEYOR PRECIP
DIMINISHES LATE DAY BUT HIGH CHANCE TO LIKELY POPS ON INTO AFTN.
TROUGH/DEEPER MOISTURE DECAYS RATHER QUICKLY LATE MONDAY INTO
MONDAY NIGHT...LEAVING A COLD/BLUSTERY BUT OVERALL DRY FCST ON
MONDAY NIGHT.

AFTER TROUGH MOVES THROUGH THE UPPER GREAT LAKES ON MONDAY...UPPER
LEVEL PATTERN BECOMES PRETTY STABLE THROUGH LATE THIS WEEK. NEGATIVE
ANOMALIES WILL RESIDE OVER GULF OF ALASKA AND IN NORTHERN HUDSON BAY
INTO NUNAVUT. ZONAL FLOW WILL RESULT OVR THE CONUS. INDICATIONS THAT
COUPLE OF SHORTWAVE TROUGHS MAY AFFECT UPR LAKES...FIRST ON WEDNESDAY
THEN AGAIN ON FRIDAY. CONSENSUS POPS FOR WEDNESDAY AS MOST MODELS
ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT SHOWING POTENTIAL FOR SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS.
MAYBE SOME SNOW EARLY ON FOR WEDNESDAY BASED ON FCST SOUNDINGS. COLD
ENOUGH IN THE WAKE OF THAT SYSTEM TO INCREASE CLOUDS AND PUT SOME
SLIGHT CHANCES IN FOR LK EFFECT INTO THURSDAY.

SYSTEM ON FRIDAY HAS POTENTIAL TO BE STRONGER AS IT DIGS ACROSS
WESTERN AND CNTRL GREAT LAKES. GIVEN ZONAL FLOW PREDICTABILITY WITH
SPECIFICS OF THESE FEATURES IS USUALLY LIMITED AND THIS TIME IS NO
EXCEPTION AS BOTH GFS AND ECMWF HAVE SHOWN LARGE VARIABILITY IN
TRACK OF SFC LOW OVR THE GREAT LAKES. LATEST ECMWF WOULD POINT TO A
SIGNIFICANT LATE SEASON SNOW OVR MUCH OF THE CWA...WHILE GFS IS MUCH
FARTHER SOUTH WITH THE SYSTEM. KEPT WITH CONSENSUS BLEND FOR POPS AT
THIS POINT UNTIL MODELS SHOW MORE AGREEMENT. AT THIS POINT...DRY
FCST WILL WORK FOR SATURDAY.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 123 PM EDT SAT APR 14 2012

CLOUDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEPARTING SYSTEM HAVE CLEARED ALL SITES.
EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE EVENING...WITH
SOME DAYTIME CUMULUS CLOUDS AT 5-7KFT DISSIPATING BY EARLY THIS
EVENING. MAIN CONCERN TODAY IS THE STRONGER WINDS THAT ARE CURRENTLY
GUSTING TO AROUND 30KTS AT ALL SITES. THESE WINDS MAY DECREASE
SLIGHTLY LATE THIS AFTERNOON AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT RELAXES...BUT
DO NOT EXPECT THEM TO DROP BELOW 12KTS UNTIL WEAKER PRESSURE
GRADIENT AND NOCTURNAL COOLING TAKE HOLD AROUND SUNSET. MID CLOUDS
SHOULD INCREASE LATE TONIGHT AHEAD OF A WARM FRONT. THEN...ABUNDANT
MOISTURE AND SCATTERED SHOWERS WITH ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL
SPREAD FROM SOUTH TO NORTH ACROSS UPPER MI AROUND 12Z. FAVORABLE
UPSLOPE FLOW AT CMX AND SAW SHOULD BRING DOWN CIGS BELOW 1KFT
THROUGHOUT THE MORNING. THERE IS ALSO A POTENTIAL THAT SOME
THUNDERSTORMS COULD BECOME STRONG ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL UPPER MI AND
POSSIBLY AFFECT SAW FROM LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING.

.MARINE...(FOR THE 4 PM LAKE SUPERIOR FORECAST ISSUANCE)
ISSUED AT 504 PM EDT SAT APR 14 2012

MAIN FOCUS OF FCST FOR LAKE SUPERIOR IS LOW PRES SYSTEM MOVING FROM
THE CNTRL PLAINS SUN TO UPPER MI SUN NIGHT. AHEAD OF THE LOW...E TO
NE WINDS WILL STRENGTHEN ACROSS LAKE SUPERIOR SUN. APPROACHING PRES
FALLS AND COASTAL CONVERGENCE/FUNNELING WILL LIKELY LEAD TO A PERIOD
OF NE GALES OVER FAR WRN LAKE SUPERIOR FROM THE APOSTLE ISLANDS W
LATE SUN AFTN/EVENING. DEPENDING ON STRENGTH OF PRES FALLS...COULD
BE A FEW HRS OF HIGH END GALE GUSTS. AS THE LOW MOVES ACROSS UPPER
MI LATE SUN NIGHT AND E OF THE AREA MON...WINDS WILL BACK TO THE N.
WITH STRONG CAA BEHIND THE LOW PRES...GALES SHOULD DEVELOP EASTWARD
ACROSS THE LAKE SUN NIGHT INTO MON. LIGHT WINDS UNDER 20KT WILL
RETURN BY TUE MORNING AS HIGH PRES BUILDS INTO THE UPPER LAKES.
