AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
731 PM EDT TUE SEP 4 2012

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 338 PM EDT TUE SEP 4 2012

PESKY FOG AND LOW CLOUDS CONTINUE TO BLANKET SOUTHEASTERN SECTIONS OF
THE AREA ALONG WITH EASTERN LAKE SUPERIOR. VISIBLE SATELLITE LOOP
SHOWING EROSION SLOWLY CONTINUING AND EXPECT MOST OF THESE LOW
CLOUDS ESPECIALLY OVER LAND AREAS TO BE GONE OVER THE NEXT FEW
HOURS.  ELSEWHERE SKIES HAVE BEEN MOSTLY SUNNY WITH TEMPERATURES
WELL ABOVE NORMAL ONCE AGAIN.

WEAK UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE ALONG WITH SURFACE TROUGH OVER MN SHOULD
TRIGGER SCATTERED SHRAS/TSRAS FROM THE WESTERN U.P. INTO WI OVER THE
NEXT FEW HOURS AS AIRMASS HAS BECOME FAIRLY UNSTABLE DESPITE
PRESCIENCE OF DEEP MOISTURE. BEST CHANCE FOR PRECIP WILL BE OVER THE
FAR WEST INTO EARLY THIS EVENING THEN WITH LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING
ANY SHRAS SHOULD QUICKLY DISSIPATE.

DEPENDING ON HOW LONG SKIES REMAIN CLEAR OVER THE EAST TONIGHT...WE
MAY SEE SOME MORE FOG DEVELOP SIMILAR TO THIS MORNING. HOWEVER...
UPSTREAM CLOUD COVER FROM ANY CONVECTION WILL DETERMINE ULTIMATE
POTENTIAL FOR MORE WIDESPREAD FOG DEVELOPMENT.

MORE SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVE AND SURFACE FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA
FROM THE WEST ON WEDNESDAY MORNING.  ONCE AGAIN MOISTURE AHEAD OF IT
ISNT OVERLY IMPRESSIVE BUT EXPECT A SCATTERED TO BROKEN AREA OF
SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDER TO DEVELOP AND MOVE ACROSS THE U.P. ON
WEDNESDAY AIDED BY DIURNAL HEATING OVER THE EAST DURING THE
AFTERNOON. FRONT WILL BE EAST OF THE AREA BY LATE TOMORROW AFTERNOON
WITH WINDS SHIFTING TO THE WEST AND DRIER LOW LEVEL AIR MOVING INTO
THE AREA.

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 338 PM EDT TUE SEP 4 2012

STRONG 500MB SHORTWAVE NEARING JAMES BAY DURING THE DAY THURSDAY
WITH RIDGING OVER THE SOUTHERN STATES WILL KEEP UPPER MI IN ZONAL
FLOW THROUGH FRIDAY. STRONG SHORTWAVE WILL THEN SWEEP ACROSS UPPER
MI THROUGH SUNDAY BECOMING CLOSED OFF OVER THE MISSISSIPPI/OHIO
VALLEY. UPPER MI WILL FIND ITSELF WEDGED BETWEEN THIS CLOSED
SHORTWAVE AND A STRONG SHORTWAVE TO THE NORTH...WITH SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE DOMINATING SUNDAY THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST
PERIOD.

FOR THURSDAY...SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO EXIT TO THE EAST
DURING THE MORNING HOURS WITH DRY AIR AND HIGH PRESSURE MOVING IN
FROM THE SOUTHWEST. WITH SURFACE LOW PRESSURE LOCATED JUST TO OUR
NORTH WITH ABUNDANT WRAP AROUND MOISTURE...COULD SEE SOME LINGERING
MOISTURE DURING THE DAY THURSDAY...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE EAST AND TO
THE NORTH. SECONDARY COLD FRONT /ASSOCIATED WITH 500MB SHORTWAVE
SWEEPING ACROSS UPPER MI ON ITS WAY TO THE OHIO VALLEY/ WILL PUSH
THROUGH FRIDAY BRINGING COOLER TEMPERATURES AND YET ANOTHER CHANCE
FOR PRECIP ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION. HOWEVER...WITH LITTLE TO NO
INSTABILITY WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE FRONTAL CONVERGENCE...WILL
CONTINUE WITH ONLY MENTIONING RAIN AT THIS POINT. STRONG 300MB JET
WILL ORIENT ITSELF FROM NORTH TO SOUTH AND MOVE EASTWARD ACROSS
UPPER MI IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SURFACE FRONT...SO EXPECT DAYTIME
HIGHS FRIDAY BEHIND THE FRONT TO ONLY REACH THE LOW TO MID 60S
ACROSS THE WEST...AND MID TO UPPER 60S ACROSS THE WEST.

COLD FRONT AND MOISTURE WILL EXIT TO THE EAST ONCE MORE ON FRIDAY
NIGHT WITH GFS FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOWING AN INFLUX OF DRY AIR FROM
WEST TO EAST REACHING THE GROUND AS HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING FINALLY
TAKES CONTROL. ALOFT...UPPER MI WILL BE WEDGED BETWEEN STRONG CLOSED
OFF LOW TO THE SOUTH AND SHORTWAVE OVER HUDSON BAY. STRONG 300MB JET
WILL CONTINUE PULLING IN COLDER CANADIAN AIR...WITH DAYTIME HIGHS ON
SATURDAY SIMILAR TO THOSE ON FRIDAY /LOW TO MID 60S IN MOST
AREAS...ESPECIALLY NEAR LAKE SUPERIOR WITH SURFACE WINDS ORIENTED
FROM THE NORTH AS WELL/. HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE THE
DOMINATING FACTOR SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...WITH HIGH
TEMPERATURES MAKING A SLOW BUT STEADY INCREASE. WINDS WILL GENERALLY
REMAIN OUT OF THE NORTH...SO NO MAJOR WARM UPS ARE EXPECTED AND
COOLEST TEMPERATURES WILL BE ALONG LAKE SUPERIOR.

UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE WILL BEGIN TO IMPACT THE WESTERN HALF OF UPPER
MI DURING THE DAY THURSDAY...THOUGH MODELS ARE IN A HIGH LEVEL OF
DISAGREEMENT ON TIMING AND SET UP. WENT WITH ONLY SLIGHT CHANCES
ONLY THE FAR WEST AS SYSTEM NEARS...THOUGH DO EXPECT WINDS TO MAKE A
TRANSITION TO A MORE EASTERLY AND THEN SOUTHEASTERLY DIRECTION IN
RESPONSE TO THE APPROACHING SURFACE LOW.
&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 730 PM EDT TUE SEP 4 2012

SEVERAL KEY FACTORS WILL INFLUENCE TAFS FOR THIS FORECAST PERIOD.
FIRST...COLD FRONT TRAVERSING UPPER MI FROM WEST TO EAST THIS
EVENING WILL BRING THE POTENTIAL FOR TSRA TO KIWD AND KCMX.
HOWEVER...AS TSRA ARE SCATTERED IN NATURE...CONFIDENCE DID NOT GO
BEYOND MENTION OF VCTS. AFTER PASSAGE OF THIS INITIAL LINE...A
SECONDARY COLD FRONT WILL FOLLOW IN ITS STEPS THROUGH THE MORNING
HOURS BRINGING A CHANCE OF RAIN STARTING AT KIWD AND KCMX AND
EVENTUALLY MAKING ITS WAY TO KSAW. WITH LIGHT WINDS...SOME LOWERING
OF VIS COULD BE POSSIBLE AS THESE SHOWERS PASS THROUGH KCMX AND
KIWD. KSAW IS THE NEXT CONCERN...WITH LINGERING LOW STRATUS DECK
THROUGH THE DAY TODAY...KEPT LOW SCATTERED CEILING IN THROUGH THE
EVENING HOURS. AS DAYTIME HEATING AND MIXING SUBSIDES
TONIGHT...EXPECT CEILINGS TO LOWER AND FOG TO REDEVELOP OVERNIGHT.
RAIN SHOWERS IN THE MORNING SHOULD HELP TO MIX FOG OUT DURING THE
DAY. SKIES WILL CLEAR OUT ACROSS UPPER MI BY AFTERNOON AS HIGH
PRESSURE MOVES IN. STRONG MIXING WILL ALLOW FOR GUSTY WINDS AT ALL
TAF SITES.
&&

.MARINE...(FOR THE 4 PM LAKE SUPERIOR FORECAST ISSUANCE)
ISSUED AT 338 PM EDT TUE SEP 4 2012

EXPECT WINDS TO REMAIN RELATIVELY LIGHT OUT OF THE SOUTH THROUGH
WEDNESDAY MORNING BEFORE A FRONT CROSSES LAKE SUPERIOR. BEHIND IT
WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE WEST.  WINDS WILL INCREASE UP TO 20 TO 25
KTS AS COOLER AIR ARRIVES OVER THE RELATIVELY WARM LAKE WATERS AND
ENHANCES MIXING THROUGH THURSDAY. ALTHOUGH WINDS MAY DIMINISH FOR A TIME ON
THU NIGHT AS ANOTHER TROF SWINGS OVER LAKE SUPERIOR...PLAN ON
ANOTHER ROUND OF STRONGER NW WINDS UP TO 25 KTS ON FRI IN ITS WAKE.
THE APPROACH OF HIGH PRESSURE/A WEAKENING PRES GRADIENT THIS WEEKEND
WILL CAUSE WINDS TO SLOWLY DIMINISH.
