AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
411 PM EDT THU OCT 24 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 409 PM EDT THU OCT 24 2013

THE DEEP UPPER TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED COLD AIR WHICH MOVED OVER
ONTARIO EARLIER THIS WEEK...WILL REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY ACROSS THE
GREAT LAKES THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE UPPER TROUGH WILL COMBINE WITH
A SERIES OF WEAKER STORM SYSTEMS FORECAST TO SWEEP OVER THE GREAT
LAKES...TO GENERATE A WINTRY RAIN SNOW MIX OVER NORTHERN MICHIGAN
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN NEARLY SEASONAL TO
SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL INTO THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 409 PM EDT THU OCT 24 2013

BIT OF A CHALLENGING FORECAST IN THE LAKE EFFECT DEPARTMENT ONCE
AGAIN OVERNIGHT...BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THINGS (HOPEFULLY) WON'T
GET QUITE AS CRAZY AS LAST NIGHT IN TERMS OF SNOWFALL AMOUNTS. EARLY
AFTERNOON ANALYSIS SHOWS A CONTINUATION OF THE PERSISTENT PATTERN OF
LATE...FEATURING BROAD UPPER TROUGHING/COLD AIR IN PLACE OVER MUCH
OF EASTERN NORTH AMERICA...THOUGH WITH A NOTABLE SHORTWAVE RIDGE
GRADUALLY WORKING SOUTH FROM LAKE SUPERIOR LATE THIS AFTERNOON. AS
EXPECTED...LAKE EFFECT CONTINUES BUT HAVE SEEN THE TYPICAL OCTOBER
TRANSITION TO MUCH MORE CELLULAR ACTIVITY THE PAST FEW HOURS IN THE
PRESENCE OF OVERALL WEAK CLOUD LAYER SHEAR (ONLY ABOUT 15 TO MAYBE
20 KNOTS)...WITH ALSO MUCH OF THE ACTIVITY MIXING WITH OR CHANGING
TO RAIN AS THE MELTING LAYERS HAVE INCREASED UP TOWARD 1.5-2+KFT.

HEADING INTO TONIGHT...PRETTY MUCH STATUS QUO FOR AT LEAST THE FIRST
HALF OF THE NIGHT WITH BASICALLY NO CHANGE TO THE GOING PATTERN...AS
COLDER PLUME CONTINUES TO FILTER IN ALOFT. WE DO SEE A SLOW LOSS OF
DEEPER MOISTURE WITH TIME...BUT FORECAST SOUNDINGS DON'T LOOK TOO
SHABBY THROUGH ABOUT 06Z...THOUGH ARGUABLY WITH A BIT LESS OF A
CLASSIC CROSS-HAIR DGZ SIGNATURE THAN SEEN LAST NIGHT. STILL...HAVE
TO BELIEVE WE COULD SEE ANOTHER QUICK INCH OR TWO ACROSS THE HIGHER
TERRAIN AND WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION. PROBABLY NOT A HEADLINE
EVENT...BUT COULD WELL BE SOME SLICK TRAVEL AS IS TYPICAL IN THESE
SETUPS.

OTHERWISE...LAKE PRECIP SHOULD WIND DOWN LATER TONIGHT AND INTO
FRIDAY AS THE LOW LEVEL FLOW GRADUALLY BACKS MORE WESTERLY WHILE THE
FLOW REGIME WEAKENS CONSIDERABLY WHILE WARM ADVECTION ALSO KICKS
INTO GEAR. PRECIP SHOULD ALSO CHANGE BACK TO MORE JUST PLAIN RAIN AS
THE BOUNDARY LAYER AGAIN DEEPENS WITH DIURNAL HEATING. MAY WELL SEE
A PERIOD OF JUST PLAIN DRY CONDITIONS TOWARD 18-00Z AS THINGS DRY
OUT CONSIDERABLY ABOVE 850MB WHILE THE THERMAL REGIME ALSO MODERATES
CONSIDERABLY. HOWEVER...DON'T EXPECT A WHOLE LOT OF SUNSHINE AS
MID/UPPER LEVEL WARM ADVECTION ASCENT WILL ALSO BE ARRIVING AHEAD
THE NEXT SHORTWAVE DROPPING THROUGH THE UPPER MIDWEST. HIGHS ABOUT
THE SAME AS TODAY...GENERALLY LOW TO MID 40S.

&&

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 409 PM EDT THU OCT 24 2013

FOUR-WAVE HEMISPHERIC LONG WAVE PATTERN PERSISTS WITH LONG WAVE
TROUGH AXIS STRETCHING DOWN THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES AND SHARP
RIDGING ALONG THE PACIFIC COAST. STILL NO CHANGES TO THIS PATTERN
FOR THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE...THIS WEEKEND INTO THE EARLY PART OF NEXT
WEEK. BUT...THERE IS MOUNTING EVIDENCE IN THE EURO MODEL THAT THE
PACIFIC COAST RIDGE BREAKS DOWN AS WE GO THROUGH NEXT WEEK...AS A
STRONG PIECE OF SHORT WAVE ENERGY AND SOMEWHAT CUTOFF LOW DIVES DOWN
THROUGH THE ROCKIES AND INTO THE DESERT SW BY HALLOWEEN. GFS
SOLUTION ALSO DIGS A SHORT WAVE INTO THE SW...BUT REMAINS MUCH MORE
PHASED WITH THE NRN STREAM AND EJECTS THAT WAVE EASTWARD THROUGH THE
CONUS AND INTO THE GREAT LAKES BY HALLOWEEN. NEEDLESS TO SAY...
FORECAST CONFIDENCE IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD IS NOT VERY HIGH AT THIS
JUNCTURE.

BUT IN THE NEARER TERM...ONE MORE FAIRLY STRONG NRN STREAM WAVE
(ADVANCING THROUGH NRN ALBERTA TODAY) LOOKING TO DIG SOUTHEASTWARD
INTO THE GREAT LAKES...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY.
RESULTING DEEPENING SFC LOW EXPECTED TO ADVANCE ACROSS LAKE SUPERIOR
FRIDAY NIGHT...DRAGGING A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE REGION SATURDAY
MORNING AND ONE MORE PUSH OF FAIRLY COLD AIR INTO THE STATE THROUGH
SATURDAY. AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM...STRONG SW FLOW DEVELOPS ACROSS THE
WESTERN GREAT LAKES FRIDAY NIGHT...DRAGGING AXIS OF WARMER AIR INTO
NRN MICHIGAN...H8 TEMPS INCREASING TO AT OR A FEW DEGREES BELOW 0C.
INITIALLY...AIRMASS ACROSS NRN MICHIGAN WILL BE SOMEWHAT DRY
COURTESY OF HIGH PRESSURE SLIDING BY TO OUR SOUTH DURING THE DAY
FRIDAY. BUT A STRONG PULSE OF QG-UPWARD FORCING WITH THE WAVE
FORECAST TO SLIDE THROUGH NRN MICHIGAN FRIDAY NIGHT COUPLED WITH
REMAINING OVER LAKE INSTABILITY ACROSS LAKE MICHIGAN WILL BRING
RENEWED PRECIP CHANCES TO THE CWA FRIDAY NIGHT. INITIALLY HAVE
GREATEST PRECIP CHANCES OVER FAR NW LOWER MICHIGAN INTO THE STRAITS
AND EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN...LARGELY DRIVEN BY LAKE INSTABILITY. BUT
HIGHER PRECIP CHANCES SHOULD SPREAD SOUTHWARD INTO NRN LOWER
MICHIGAN LATER FRIDAY EVENING AND OVERNIGHT AS QG ASCENT WORKS
THROUGH THE NRN GREAT LAKES. ENOUGH WARM AIR ADVECTION THAT MOST OF
THIS PRECIP FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THE DAY SATURDAY LOOKING TO BE
RAIN...OR PERHAPS A MIX IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS.

SATURDAY NIGHT...ANOTHER ROUND OF NW FLOW LAKE INDUCED SHOWERS
ANTICIPATED AS COLDER AIR ONCE MORE OVERSPREADS THE REGION. MAINLY
SNOW...EXCEPT FOR A MIX OR JUST RAIN NEAR THE LAKE MICHIGAN COAST.
LAKE EFFECT PARAMETERS LOOK DECENT WITH LAKE-H8 DELTA T/S CLIMBING
TO THE HIGH TEENS TO AROUND 20C/INVERSION HEIGHTS CLIMBING TO NEAR
7K FEET. SHOULD GET SOMEWHAT VIGOROUS ACCUMULATING LAKE SNOWS GOING
THROUGH THE NIGHT.

SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT...ONE MORE WEAK COLD FRONT TO SLIP THROUGH
THE REGION SUNDAY NIGHT...ATTACHED TO LOW PRESSURE MOVE THROUGH
EAST-CENTRAL CANADA. MAIN IMPACT WILL BE TO BRING ANOTHER BATCH OF
LARGER SCALE MOISTURE/WEAK FORCING...AND HELP REINFORCE LIGHT LAKE
EFFECT RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS AS THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH.

MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...AS MENTIONED ABOVE...CONSIDERABLE
DIFFERENCES AMONG THE EURO/GFS SOLUTIONS DURING THE EXTENDED PERIOD
LEADING TO LOWER FORECAST CONFIDENCE...AND LATE PEEK AT 12Z EURO
REALLY HASN/T CHANGES GREATLY MUCH FROM PREVIOUS RUNS. MAIN
DIFFERENCES REVOLVE AROUND JUST HOW QUICK STRONGER SHORT WAVE EJECTS
OUT OF WESTERN CONUS TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES. GENERAL TRENDS SUGGEST
THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK STARTS A LITTLE WARMER/DRIER THEN A TREND
TOWARD UNSETTLED (POSSIBLY STORMY) AND COLDER FROM HALLOWEEN
ONWARD. HAVE TRENDED THE FORECAST IN THIS DIRECTION BUT WITH ONLY
MINOR CHANGES FROM THE INHERITED FORECAST.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 111 PM EDT THU OCT 24 2013

TYPICAL LAKE EFFECT SETUP WILL CONTINUE INTO TONIGHT...THOUGH WITH
A BIT LESS OVERALL COVERAGE EXPECTED THAN THE PAST 24 HOURS.
SHOULD STILL SEE PREDOMINANTLY SCATTERED TO OCCASIONALLY NUMEROUS RAIN
AT THE TERMINAL SITES...AND MAINLY CLOSE TO LAKE MICHIGAN
(PLN/TVC/MBL)...WITH CEILINGS MAINLY IN THE LOW END OF VFR
RANGE...THOUGH PERHAPS BRIEFLY DIPPING TO MVFR WITHIN ANY HEAVIER
SHOWERS. WINDS WILL GET A LITTLE GUSTY THROUGH EARLY EVENING...BUT
BECOME LIGHT OVERNIGHT...WITH PERHAPS SOME INLAND CLEARING TOWARD
APN AS THE FLOW GETS QUITE LIGHT AFTER 07Z. AN DECREASE IN RAIN
SHOWERS IS EXPECTED LATE TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY...WITH A FURTHER
INCREASE IN MID LEVEL CLOUDS AHEAD OF OUR NEXT APPROACHING WEATHER
SYSTEM.

&&

.MARINE...
ISSUED AT 409 PM EDT THU OCT 24 2013

GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS MUCH OF THE NEARSHORE
WATERS THROUGH EARLY EVENING...AND ACROSS LAKE MICHIGAN FOR MUCH OF
THE NIGHT...BEFORE BRIEFLY SETTLING DOWN ON FRIDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE
BRIEFLY SLIDES OVERHEAD. SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS ARE THEN EXPECTED TO
RAPIDLY INTENSIFY FRIDAY EVENING AND NIGHT...AHEAD OF LOW PRESSURE
WORKING THROUGH ONTARIO. A PERIOD OF GALE FORCE SPEEDS APPEARS
LIKELY...PARTICULARLY ON LAKE MICHIGAN...BEFORE WINDS SWITCH TO THE
NORTHWEST BUT REMAIN QUITE STRONG RIGHT ON INTO SATURDAY. ANOTHER
PERIOD OF LIGHTER WINDS SHOULD ARRIVE SUNDAY.

&&
