AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
236 AM EDT SAT MAR 17 2012

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1039 PM EDT FRI MAR 16 2012

HAD TO DO A MAJOR UPDATE TO THE ZONES. LATEST LOOK AT NAM MODEL FOR
DEW POINTS TELLS THE STORY. THE POCKET OF DRY AIR ACROSS THE CENTRAL
CWA STAYS PUT THROUGH MUCH OF THE NIGHT AND REFUSES TO BUDGE. THINK
THIS DRY AIR WILL STAY AND TOOK FOG OUT OF THE WEST HALF OF LAKE
SUPERIOR AND OUT OF THE WEST HALF OF THE CWA BECAUSE OF THIS DRY
AIR. UPSLOPE FOG FROM LAKE MICHIGAN IS STILL A POSSIBILITY EAST OF A
LINE FROM IMT TO MQT AND KEPT THAT IN...BUT PUSHED THE TIMING OF IT
BACK. THUNDERSTORM CHANCES STILL LOOK REMOTE. 00Z SOUNDING FROM KGRB
SHOWS A POSSIBILITY OF ELEVATED CONVECTION STILL AND THERE ARE
THUNDERSTORMS FROM ACCAS DOWN NEAR EAU CLAIRE WI. THIS AREA IS
SLOWLY TRYING TO COME NORTH AND WILL HAVE TO BATTLE THE LOWER LEVEL
DRY AIR. THEREFORE...SLIGHT CHANCE POPS STILL WARRANTED WITH
ELEVATED CONVECTION A POSSIBILITY.
&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 445 PM EDT FRI MAR 16 2012

COULD BE INTERESTING THROUGH SATURDAY OR MAYBE JUST FAIRLY BENIGN.
TOUGH TO TELL. AT THE LEAST IT WILL BE QUITE CHANGEABLE WITH RAPID
INCREASE IN LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE EXPECTED. W/SW FLOW ALOFT REMAINS IN
PLACE THROUGH SATURDAY ALLOWING A FEW SMALLER SHORTWAVES TO ROTATE
ACROSS UPR LAKES. LEAD SHORTWAVES ARE OVR SOUTH DAKOTA AND LIFTING
ACROSS IOWA. THE OTHER SHORTWAVE SEEN AT THIS TIME IS OVER WESTERN
NEB.

HARD TO BELIEVE THAT MOISTURE ADVECTION WILL RAMP UP TONIGHT GIVEN
VERY STUBBORN DRY AIRMASS THAT HAS STAYED IN PLACE TODAY AS DWPNTS
LATE THIS AFTN OVR THE CNTRL CWA ARE STILL BLO 20F. MOISTURE IS
ALREADY IN AT IWD THOUGH WITH DWPNTS PUSHING 50F AT THIS HOUR.
EVENTUALLY THE WARM AND MOIST AIRMASS WILL OVERSPREAD ALL CWA.
ALREADY SEEING SWATH OF STRATUS/FOG OVR LK MICHIGAN AND EXPECT THIS
TO LIFT INTO THE CWA BY LATER EVENING AS WINDS BECOME MORE SOUTHERLY
WITH ARRIVAL OF WARM FRONT. COULD SEE DENSE FOG OVERNIGHT OVER THE
CENTRL CWA AS WARM MOIST AIR UPSLOPES FM IMT TO SAW ON SOUTHERLY
WINDS. BACK TO THOSE WEAK SHORTWAVES. AS THE LEAD WAVES COME ACROSS
TONIGHT...WARM FRONT WILL BE IN THE VCNTY. THETA-E ADVECTION RAMPS
UP AT H85 AS WARM AIR ADVECTION COMMENCES. BECOMING MORE UNSTABLE
WITH H7-H5 LAPSE RATES AOA 7.5C/KM. MODELS HAVE BEEN OFF AND ON AS
FAR AS CONVECTION POTENTIAL BUT THINK WITH THE INCREASING MOISTURE
ADVECTION/INSTABILITY AND THE SHORTWAVES MOVING THROUGH A SLIGHT
CHANCE OF SHRA/TSRA IS JUSTIFIED. ELEVATED CAPES AOA 1000J/KG OVR
LK SUPERIOR AND BULK SHEAR AOA 20 KTS INDICATE STRONGER STORMS IN
THE NORTH /IF THEY FORM AT ALL/ COULD HAVE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE SOME
HAIL. CERTAINLY A CONDITIONAL PROBABILITY SITUATION. SPC DAY 1
OUTLOOK HAS AREA IN GENERAL THUNDER AND THAT SEEMS VERY REASONABLE.

ON INTO SATURDAY...EXPECT THE LOW CLOUDS AND FOG TO HANG AROUND IN
THE MORNING BUT THEN WITH BLYR WINDS BACKING MORE SOUTHWEST...AND
INCREASING MIXING THIS SHOULD DISSIPATE BY MIDDAY. MIXING TO H9
WOULD SUPPORT MAX TEMPS WELL INTO THE 70S. HIGHER MIXING WOULD ALLOW
MAXES TO PUSH INTO THE LOWER 80S. THERE HAVE ONLY BEEN A COUPLE DAYS
IN THE RECORDS THAT INDICATE TEMPS SO WARM. ONE TIME WAS MARCH 27-28
OF 1946...AND FOR WHAT IT IS WORTH THE SFC PRESSURE PATTERN THEN
LOOKS VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT IS EXPECTED ON SATURDAY. ALONG WITH THE
WARMTH WILL BE THE INCREASED MOISTURE AS DWPNTS WILL BE MAINLY IN
THE 50S. MODIFIED SOUNDING IN THE EARLY AFTN IN THE SOUTH CENTRAL
CWA AND ACTUALLY CAME UP WITH SFC BASED CAPES AOA 1500 J/KG WITH
LITTLE CINH. SFC BOUNDARY IS NOT EVIDENT ON SATURDAY...BUT THAT
OTHER SHORTWAVE OVR NEB WILL BE ARRIVING OVR SCNTRL CWA DURING LATE
AFTN/PEAK HEATING. DESPITE MOST GUIDANCE KEEPING IT DRY...THOUGHT IS
WAS WORTH HAVING SLIGHT CHANCES IN FCST ALONG AND AHEAD OF THAT WAVE
OVR ROUGHLY THE EAST HALF OF CWA. DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS WEAKER ON
SATURDAY SO ANY STORMS SHOULD REMAIN UNORGANIZED.

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 445 PM EDT FRI MAR 16 2012

SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY...UNSEASONABLY WARM CONDITIONS ACROSS THE AREA
WITH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IN PLACE ALONG WITH RELATIVELY STEEP MID
LEVEL LAPSE RATES FROM 7C-8C/KM  WILL SUPPORT ENOUGH INSTABILITY FOR
SLIGHT TSRA POTENTIAL OVER THE AREA. HOWEVER...ANY SHORTWAVES IN
LIFTING INTO THE NRN GREAT LAKES ARE EXPECTED TO BE WEAK WHILE THE
GREATEST ISENTROPIC LIFT NEAR THE NOSE OF THE LOW LEVEL JET 850 MB
WARM FRONT REMAINS NORTH OF THE CWA...PER NAM/GFS/ECMWF. WITH HIGHER
DEWPOINTS INTO THE REGION...SOME FOG WILL DEVELOPMENT...ESPECIALLY
OFF OF LAKE MICHIGAN AND AREAS WITH UPSLOPE SRLY FLOW.

EXPECT THE MID/UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD OVER THE WRN
LAKES AS STRONG SRLY FLOW WAA PUSHES 850 MB TEMPS INTO THE 12C TO 14C
RANGE. SO...WITH SUNSHINE AND DECENT MIXING TEMPS SHOULD AGAIN CLIMB
INTO THE LOWER 70S ACROSS THE W HALF OF UPPER MI. TEMPS WILL REMAIN
SUBSTANTIALLY LOWER DOWNWIND OF LAKE MICHIGAN WHERE READINGS WILL
STRUGGLE TO AROUND 50.

SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY....WITH THE HIGH AMPLITUDE PATTERN
OVER THE CONUS...THE WRN TROUGH AND FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER THE PLAINS
WILL ONLY MAKE GRADUAL PROGRESS TO THE EAST...KEEPING VERY MILD
CONDITIONS ACROSS THE WRN LAKES WITH THE PCPN REMAINING TO THE WEST
OF THE AREA.

TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...
MODELS CONTINUE TO SUGGEST THAT THE MID LEVEL TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED
FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL MAKE ENOUGH PROGRESS TO THE EAST TO BRING PCPN
INTO UPPER MI...ESPECIALLY FROM TUE NIGHT INTO WED. UNCERTAINTY
REMAINS WITH THE POTENTIAL CUTOFF LOW DEVELOPMENT AND MOVEMENT
TOWARD THU GIVEN DIFFERENCES BTWN THE ECMWF/GFS AND INCREASING ENS
SPREAD. THE AIRMASS WILL ALSO REMAIN UNSTABLE ENOUGH TO INCLUDE
SLIGHT CHANCE FOR TSRA INTO THU. SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR WILL MOVE IN
WHILE THICK CLOUDS AND PCPN ALSO KEEP MAX READINGS LOWER.
NEVERTHELESS...TEMPS WILL REMAIN WELL ABOVE SEASONAL NORMALS WITH
HIGHS IN THE 50S AND LOWS IN THE 40S THU INTO FRI.
&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SATURDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 231 AM EDT SAT MAR 17 2012

VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE PERIOD AT ALL SITES EXCEPT SAW.
LLWS WILL ALSO BE PRESENT AT ALL SITES OVERNIGHT AND ALSO FOR FRI
NIGHT. WINDS WILL GET GUSTY AT IWD AND SAW WITH MIXING ON SATURDAY.
CMX WITH A SOUTH WIND DOES NOT GET AS GUSTY. CONFIDENCE IS FAIRLY
HIGH THAT ADVECTION OF MORE ABUNDANT LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE INTO THE
AREA WILL LEAD TO AREAS OF LOW CLOUDS AND FOG AT KSAW LATE TONIGHT
WITH UPSLOPE SE FLOW. AIRFIELD LANDING MINIMUMS COULD BE APPROACHED
AT KSAW. THERE IS ALSO A SLIM RISK OF ISOLD SHRA/TSRA AT ALL THREE
SITES OVERNIGHT AND ALSO FOR SATURDAY AT SAW AND CMX. CHANCE IS JUST
TOO LOW AT THIS POINT TO EVEN MENTION A CB IN THE CLOUD GROUP. FOG
SEEMS TO BE GOOD PROBABILITY AT KSAW SAT EVENING AS WELL WITH HIGH
DEWPOINTS MOVING ACROSS LAKE MICHIGAN/S COLD WATERS. SOUTH WINDS SAT
NIGHT WILL ADVECT IN LAKE MICHIGAN LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND UPSLOPE
FLOW INTO KSAW FORMING FOG QUICKLY AS VIS SHOULD GO DOWN TO IFR AND
PERHAPS VLIFR.

&&

.MARINE...(FOR THE 4 PM LAKE SUPERIOR FORECAST ISSUANCE)
ISSUED AT 445 PM EDT FRI MAR 16 2012
EXPECT WINDS LESS THAN 25 KTS INTO NEXT WEEK AS HIGH PRESSURE
DOMINATES OVER THE UPR GREAT LAKES REGION. VARIABLE WINDS INITIALLY
WILL GIVE WAY TO MORE OF A S/SE WIND THIS WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT
WEEK. UNSEASONABLY WARM AIR OVER THE UPPER GREAT LAKES WILL ALSO
RESULT IN PERSISTENT MARINE LAYER/STRONG STABILITY OVER THE LAKE. AT
SOME POINT...FOG MAY BECOME AN ISSUE...ESPECIALLY IF SOME RAINFALL
OCCURS OVER THE LAKE. RIGHT NOW...IT APPEARS DRY WEATHER SHOULD BE
THE RULE...KEEPING FOG POTENTIAL LIMITED.

.MQT WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

NONE.
