AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
137 AM EDT SAT MAY 19 2012

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 423 PM EDT FRI MAY 18 2012

WARM FRONT HAS BLOWN BY TO THE NORTH OF LAKE SUPERIOR SO NOW CWA
WILL ENJOY WARM SECTOR LIVING THROUGH AT LEAST EARLY SATURDAY
EVENING. AFTER MORNING SHOWERS/TSRA AND CLOUDS DEPARTED...SKIES
HAVE BECOME MOSTLY SUNNY AND IT HAS REALLY WARMED UP...ESPECIALLY
WEST. A FEW SITES OVR ONTONAGON AND SOUTHERN HOUGHTON ZONES HAVE
REACHED UPR 80S WITH KENTON RAWS AT 90 DEGREES AS OF 19Z. DESPITE
THE WARMTH...DWPNTS HAVE STAYED STEADY AND NOT MIXED OUT AS MUCH AS
THEY COULD HAVE AND WINDS HAVE REMAINED GUSTY BUT NOT SIGNIFICANTLY
STRONG. COOLEST READINGS OVR THE EAST...BUT DESPITE THE CLOUDS
STAYING THROUGH EARLY AFTN...KERY IS QUICKLY RISING INTO THE 70S.

PRETTY QUIET SHORT TERM PERIOD...OTHER THAN FIRE WX CONCERNS WHICH
WILL BE DISCUSSED IN FIRE WX DISCUSSION BLO. EXPECT MAINLY CLEAR
SKIES TONIGHT. PRESSURE GRADIENT STAYING UP AND DEVELOPING LOW-LEVEL
JET AT 950-900MB 35-45 KTS WILL KEEP TEMPS QUITE WARM DESPITE DRY
AIR IN LOW-LEVELS. PREVIOUS FCST MIN TEMPS OF MID 50S INTERIOR EAST
TO LOW-MID 60S OVR PORTIONS OF WEST/NORTHWEST CWA SEEM ON TRACK.
PROBABLY LOOKING AT THE WARMEST DAY OF THE SPRING THUS FAR FOR
SATURDAY...ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE REALLY WARM START AND LACK OF ANY
APPRECIABLE CLOUD COVER. THESE TWO FACTORS WILL ALLOW AREA TO WARM
VERY QUICKLY ON SATURDAY MORNING. LIKELY WILL SEE LOWER 80S ALREADY
APPEARING ON SFC OBS BY MIDDAY. H85 TEMPS ARE SLIGHTLY COOLER THAN
TODAY BUT BASED ON UPSTREAM OBSERVATIONS IN MINNESOTA/WICONSIN AND
KNOWN LOCAL EFFECTS OVR UPR MICHIGAN...TEMPS AT OR EVEN SLIGHTLY
ABOVE READINGS FM THIS AFTN SEEM APPROPRIATE. PRESSURE GRADIENT AND
WINDS ALOFT SIMILAR TO WHAT WAS SEEN TODAY...SO EXPECT SOUTH WINDS
GUSTING AOA 20 MPH AT TIMES. COOLER TEMPS WILL OCCUR ALONG SHORE OF
LK MICHIGAN AND ALSO OVR PORTIONS OF KEWEENAW AND MARQUETTE AS SFC
WINDS FM NAM/REGIONAL GEM INDICATE SLIGHT BACKING TO MORE SSE IN
AFTN. PROBABLY WILL SEE SHARP TEMPERATURE GRADIENTS/SWINGS ALONG
THE SHORE AS OCCURRED TODAY OVR THESE SAME AREAS.

POPS/WX/SKY NOT MUCH OF AN ISSUE ON SATURDAY. SLOWER PROGRESSION OF
UPPER TROUGH OVR NORTHERN PLAINS AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT SHOULD
ONLY ALLOW FOR CLOUDS/POPS TO BEGIN AFFECTING FAR WESTERN LK
SUPERIOR BY 00Z SUNDAY. OTHERWISE THE DAY OVR CWA WILL BE FREE OF
POPS WITH PLENTY OF SUNSHINE.

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 423 PM EDT FRI MAY 18 2012

NAM SHOWS A CLOSED 500 MB LOW IN THE SERN U.S. WITH A RIDGE OVER THE
UPPER GREAT LAKES...TROUGHING IN THE CENTRAL PLAINS 00Z SUN. THIS
TROUGH HEADS EAST INTO THE UPPER GREAT LAKES ON SUNDAY AND THIS WILL
BRING A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA. NAM BRINGS IN SOME 850-500 MB
Q-VECTOR CONVERGENCE AND SOME DEEPER MOISTURE SAT NIGHT AND THIS
LINGERS INTO MONDAY OVER THE AREA. GFS AND ECMWF SHOW ABOUT THE SAME
THING FOR Q-VECTOR CONVERGENCE AND MOISTURE. STILL NOT REAL EXCITED
ABOUT CHANCES FOR A WIDESPREAD RAINFALL EVENT AS FRONT IS DIEING AS
IT COMES THROUGH. MAJORITY OF DYNAMICS WILL REMAIN NORTH AND WEST OF
THE AREA. FOR THIS REASON...BECAUSE OF THE DROUGHT WE HAVE BEEN
IN...STILL DO NOT WANT TO HAVE HIGHER THAN CHANCE POPS. DROUGHTS
TEND TO BE PERSISTENT AND DO NOT WANT TO GET HOPES UP ABOUT THE RAIN
CHANCES UNLESS IT LOOKS LIKE A WIDESPREAD AND LONG LIVED EVENT WHICH
THIS WILL NOT BE. DID NOT CHANGE MUCH FOR WEATHER OR TEMPERATURES.
HUNG ON TO SOME POPS FOR MONDAY AS COLD FRONT SLOWLY LEAVES THE
AREA.

IN THE EXTENDED...GFS AND ECMWF SHOW A 500 MB TROUGH IN THE UPPER
GREAT LAKES 12Z MON. THIS TROUGH MOVES INTO THE ERN U.S. 12Z TUE
WITH A BROAD TROUGH IN THE WESTERN U.S. THIS TROUGH IN THE WESTERN
U.S. WILL BUILD UP A RIDGE ACROSS THE UPPER GREAT LAKES 12Z WED WITH
THIS RIDGE HANGING AROUND THE AREA THROUGH FRI. MANUAL PROGS FOLLOW
CLOSELY TO THE 00Z ECMWF WITH A FRONT REMAINING OFF TO THE WEST OF
THE AREA FOR THU AND FRI. THIS WILL MEAN A WARMING TREND FOR THE
EXTENDED WITH TEMPERATURES ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD AS WE GET
INTO THE WARM SECTOR THU THROUGH FRI. ECMWF SHOWING 850 MB
TEMPERATURES OF 18C-20C OVER THE AREA WITH THE COLDER TEMPERATURES
IN THE EAST FOR FRI. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF A FEW 90S OCCURRED ON
FRI INTO THE NEXT WEEKEND IN SOME PLACES. BUMPED TEMPERATURES UP TO
HPC GUIDANCE WHICH WAS ONE OF THE WARMER ONES FOR THU AND FRI AS
PATTERN LOOKS VERY WARM. CONSALL AND ALLBLEND WERE TOO COLD FOR BOTH
DAYS AND ECMWF HAS BEEN SHOWING A WARM SIGNAL FOR THE PAST TWO DAYS
AND HAS BEEN CONSISTENT WITH IT. DID REMOVE SOME SLIGHT CHANCE POPS
IN FOR WED AND WED NIGHT EXCEPT IN THE FAR WEST WHICH IS CLOSER TO A
WARM FRONT. REMOVED POPS OVER THE CENTRAL AND EAST FOR THU AND THU
NIGHT FOR THIS REASON AS WELL.
&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SATURDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 135 AM EDT SAT MAY 19 2012

VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE PERIOD. EASTERN EDGE OF LLJ
CENTERED OVER NE MN WILL CREATE LLWS ON THE ORDER OF 30 TO 35 KTS
OVER THE LOWEST 1KFT TONIGHT...WITH THE MOST PROMINENT SHEAR AT IWD.
LLWS IS EXPECTED TO SUBSIDE AFTER DAYBREAK SUNDAY AS MIXING IS
ESTABLISHED...BUT THIS WILL ALLOW FOR GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS AT ALL
SITES...ESPECIALLY AT IWD AND SAW. MID-LEVEL CLOUD COVER THICKENS
LATE SATURDAY. SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY A THUNDERSTORM COULD BEGIN TO
AFFECT IWD BY THE END OF THE PERIOD AS A TROUGH/COLD FRONT APPROACH
THE AREA...THOUGH THEY WILL LIKELY REMAIN TO THE WEST UNTIL AFTER
06Z. LLWS ALSO REEMERGES AT SAW AS THE LLJ REDEVELOPS FURTHER EAST
THAN TONIGHT.
&&

.MARINE...(FOR THE 4 PM LAKE SUPERIOR FORECAST ISSUANCE)
ISSUED AT 423 PM EDT FRI MAY 18 2012

WINDS ACROSS LAKE SUPERIOR SHOULD REMAIN BELOW 25KTS THROUGH THE
PERIOD. HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES WILL REMAIN OVER
NEW ENGLAND INTO SATURDAY. LOW PRESSURE OVER SOUTHERN SASKATCHEWAN
AND THE DAKOTAS WILL PUSH ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL PLAINS
THROUGH SATURDAY...BEFORE SLIDING NORTH INTO ONTARIO SUNDAY. THIS
WILL ALLOW A COLD FRONT TO PUSH ACROSS THE UPPER GREAT LAKES SUNDAY
INTO EARLY MONDAY. BEHIND THE FRONT...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN
FROM THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PLAINS THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
ISSUED AT 423 PM EDT FRI MAY 18 2012
TEMPS WARMED CONSIDERABLY TODAY WITH SOME READINGS AROUND 90 DEGREES
OVR WESTERN UPR MICHIGAN. DWPNTS/RH VALUES HAVE NOT CRASHED AS THERE
WAS STREAM OF HIGHER H85 DPWNTS ALOFT WHICH SEEMED TO HAVE LIMITED
DEEP MIXING. DWPNTS MAY STILL FALL OFF OVR THE EAST THROUGH EARLY
EVENING BUT THIS AREA DID RECEIVE SOME RAINFALL INTO EARLY AFTN WITH
AMOUNTS UP TO 0.20 INCH IN SOME AREAS. POOR HUMIDITY RECOVERY STILL
IN STORE FOR TONIGHT WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY LEADS TO ANOTHER DAY OF
NEAR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CRITERIA ON SATURDAY. LATEST THINKING IS
THAT PORTIONS OF WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL UPR MICHIGAN WILL SEE
GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR RED FLAG CRITERIA SATURDAY AFTN.

TEMPS ARE CERTAINLY THERE AND HUMIDITY VALUES SHOULD FALL AT OR JUST
BLO 25 PCT IN SOME OF THESE AREAS. SOUTH WINDS LOOK MARGINAL THOUGH
/SUSTAINED 15-20 MPH WITH GUSTS AROUND 25 MPH/ AS SFC PRESSURE
GRADIENT LOOKS VERY SIMILAR TO TODAY /AROUND 8 MB FM IWD TO SSM/.
LOW-LEVEL JET IS SIMILAR AS WELL WITH MORNING VALUES AROUND 40 KTS
DECREASING TO 20-25 KTS BY AFTN AS THE LOW-LEVEL JET IS ENHANCED
MORE IN THE MORNING BY THE NOCTURNAL INVERSION.

KEPT THE FIRE WEATHER WATCH UP FOR ALL UPPER MICHIGAN ON SATURDAY.
LOOKING PRETTY MARGINAL FOR HUMIDITY OVER THE EASTERN SECTIONS...
BUT WILL LET THE WATCH GO ON FOR NOW SINCE IT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE
CLEAR CUT SITUATION EVEN OVR THE WESTERN HALF OF UPR MICHIGAN.
