AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
1057 AM EST SUN NOV 17 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 328 AM EST SUN NOV 17 2013

STRONG LOW PRESSURE WILL CROSS EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN LATE
TODAY...THEN CONTINUE NORTHEAST INTO CANADA THROUGH MONDAY. THIS
SYSTEM WILL BRING WARMTH...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO NORTHERN
MICHIGAN TODAY. SOME STORMS COULD BE SEVERE ACROSS NORTHERN LOWER
MICHIGAN. THE WARM WEATHER WILL BE SHORT LIVED...AS A STRONG COLD
FRONT RUSHES THROUGH THIS EVENING. THIS WILL BRING MUCH COLDER AND
VERY WINDY CONDITIONS LATE TONIGHT INTO MONDAY. ACCUMULATING
LAKE EFFECT SNOWS WILL BE POSSIBLE FOR THE TRADITIONAL SNOW BELTS ON
MONDAY.

&&

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1057 AM EST SUN NOV 17 2013

SEVERE WEATHER STARTING TO UNFOLD ACROSS THE REGION AT THIS HOUR.
15Z SFC ANALYSIS REVEALING SECONDARY SFC LOW SPINNING UP RAPIDLY
ACROSS THE IOWA/WISCONSIN/ILLINOIS BORDER THIS MORNING IN RESPONSE
TO POTENT MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE PUNCHING INTO THE IOWA/MISSOURI
AREA AND ASSOCIATED STRONG UPPER JET CORE DEVELOPING ACROSS THE
MID MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY. ONE BATCH OF MORE WIDESPREAD
RAINFALL PIVOTING UP THROUGH WISCONSIN INTO NRN MICHIGAN ALONG LOW
LEVEL CONVERGENCE AXIS LAYING UP THROUGH THAT AREA AND NEXT STRONG
WARM ADVECTION SURGE PUSHING UP THROUGH CENTRAL LAKE MICHIGAN ATTM
(WHERE SOME BEEFIER CONVECTION IS ALREADY LIFTING UP INTO THE
REGION). BUT MAIN ATTENTION RESIDES DOWN ACROSS ILLINOIS/INDIANA
AND OHIO. PER SPC ANALYSIS PAGE...NICE PLUME OF >1000 J/KG MUCAPE
VALUES ALREADY IN PLACE ACROSS ILLINOIS INTO INDIANA ALONG WITH AN
AXIS OF >60 KNOTS EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR VALUES...SUNSHINE ACROSS
ILLINOIS AND CONVECTIVE LINES ALREADY FORMING.

THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT...OBVIOUSLY SEVERE WEATHER WILL
HAVE THE BIGGEST IMPACT FROM ILLINOIS OVER THROUGH OHIO AND FAR
SRN LOWER MICHIGAN THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING. QUESTION IS
WHETHER OR NOT ONE OR MORE LINES OF CONVECTION CAN GROW UPSCALE
INTO NRN LOWER MICHIGAN AND GIVE US SEVERE WEATHER. KINEMATICS
WILL WITHOUT QUESTION BE IN PLACE FOR STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING AS AXIS OF >50 KNOT 0-6KM BULK SHEAR VALUES
PIVOTS UP INTO THE REGION AND UPPER JET CORE CORE PUNCHES THROUGH
SRN LOWER MICHIGAN RESULTING IN A STRONG BULLSEYE OF UPPER
DIVERGENCE SLIDING UP THROUGH NRN MICHIGAN. QUESTION FOR US IS
INSTABILITY (AS USUAL). PSEUDO DRY SLOT/CLEARING AND ENHANCED
HEATING STILL LOOKING TO SLIDE BY JUST TO OUR SOUTH THIS AFTERNOON
KEEPING THE BEST SFC BASED INSTABILITY/GREATEST EFFECTIVE BULK
SHEAR VALUES DOWN THAT WAY. REGARDLESS...GIVEN THE STRONG
DYNAMICS/KINEMATIC SUPPORT...REASONABLE TO BELIEVE THAT STRONG TO
SEVERE CONVECTION THAT DEVELOPS OFF TO OUR S/SW OVER THE NEXT FEW
HOURS WILL ADVANCE NORTHEASTWARD AND MAKE A RUN TOWARD THE E/SE
PART OF THE CWA LATER THIS AFTERNOON. LIKELY WEAKENING...BUT STILL
BRINGING A SEVERE STORM THREAT...PRIMARILY WINDS...BUT THERE WILL
BE A LOW END THREAT FOR TORNADOS. ANTICIPATE THAT PARTS OF THIS
CWA (SE) WILL END UP IN A WATCH AT SOME POINT THIS AFTERNOON.

FROPA TONIGHT...FOLLOWED BY STRONG WIND POSSIBILITIES. 12Z
GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO ADVERTISE AROUND 50 KNOTS IN THE MIXED LAYER
BEHIND THE FRONT LATER THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT SUGGESTING TOP
END GUSTS IN THE 35 TO 45 KNOT RANGE. UNFORTUNATELY...NOT
CONVINCED THAT HIGH WIND WARNING/STORM FORCE GUSTS CRITERIA WILL
BE MET ACROSS ALL THE CWA. BEST CHANCES PROBABLY ALONG THE LAKE
MICHIGAN SHORELINE INTO THE STRAITS AS WELL AS THE LAKE SUPERIOR
SHORE. BUT...WARNINGS ARE ALREADY OUT AND CERTAINLY NOT GOING TO
TAKE IT DOWN AT THIS POINT (IT WILL BE WINDY AFTER ALL). HAVE
TWEAKED WIND GUSTS IN THE FORECAST TO REFLECT MORE 35 TO 45 KNOT
WIND GUSTS...BUT HAVE A FEW GUSTS UP TO 50 KNOTS RIGHT BEHIND THE
FRONT.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 651 AM EST SUN NOV 17 2013

NOT MUCH NEEDS TO BE CHANGED ATTM. PRECIP SOMEWHAT SPARSE AT THE
MOMENT AS PLANNED...WITH SOME SPRINKLES/WEAK SHOWERS AND PERHAPS A
BIT OF DRIZZLE. NEXT WAVE OF 1000-850MB THETA-E ADVECTION IS
KICKING OFF SPOTTY DEEP CONVECTION ALONG THE WI/IL BORDER INTO FAR
SW LOWER. THIS ACTIVITY WILL LIFT NORTH...WITH MUCH HIGHER POPS
AND A CHANCE OF THUNDER WARRANTED IN SOUTHERN SECTIONS TOWARD/
AFTER 10AM.

AIRMASS WILL CERTAINLY GET A CHANCE TO LOAD UP TO OUR SOUTH...WITH
PARTS OF IL/INDIANA POISED TO BREAK INTO PARTIAL SUNSHINE. WILL
WAIT AND SEE HOW THINGS EVOLVE TO OUR SOUTH...WHICH WILL DETERMINE
OUR POTENTIAL SVR THREAT THIS AFTERNOON.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 328 AM EST SUN NOV 17 2013

CURRENTLY, TWO SFC LOWS ARE MOVING INTO THE UPPER GREAT LAKES.
THE FIRST IS HEADING OUT OF THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND INTO
WESTERN LAKE SUPERIOR. THE SECOND IS IN NORTHEASTERN KANSAS, AND
THE TWO OF THE THEM ARE TIED TOGETHER BY A COLD FRONT. AT 500
MB, THERE IS A BROAD TROUGH, WITH A 80 KT JET STREAK MOVING
THROUGH COLORADO, WHICH IS HELPING TO DEVELOP THE SECOND OF THE
TWO SFC LOWS. IT IS THE MOVEMENT OF THIS SECOND LOW THAT WILL BE
THE PRIMARY CONCERN OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS.

THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS...THE BULK OF THE RAIN IS GONE WITH THE
MID-LEVEL MOISTURE HAVING STRIPPED OUT. SO WITH THE FORCING AND THE
MOISTURE FROM ABOUT 775MB TO THE SFC, THERE SHOULD BE LIGHT
RAIN/PATCHY DRIZZLE OVER THE AREA. TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO
REMAIN BETWEEN 45 AND 55 OVER THE FORECAST AREA.

TODAY...AS THIS SYSTEM MOVES FROM SOUTHERN IOWA TO EASTERN
WISCONSIN, DEEPENING AS IT GOES, THE FRONTS WILL SHARPEN UP WITH
WARM AIR CONTINUING TO MOVE UP FROM THE SOUTH THROUGH LOWER
MICHIGAN. FOLLOWING ON THE SOUTHERN SIDE OF THE SFC LOW IS THE 500
MB JET STREAK THAT WILL PRODUCE 0-6K BULK SHEAR TO AROUND 60 KNOTS.
WITH THE COLD FRONT EXPECTED TO BEGIN TO MOVE THROUGH THE REGION BY
LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING, THE THUNDERSTORM LINE THAT WILL FORM
AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL HAVE DAMAGING WINDS TO SAY THE LEAST. WOULD
NOT BE SURPRISED IF WITH THE SOUTHERLY FLOW THAT LOW TOPPED
SUPERCELLS APPEAR, ALTHOUGH THE MAIN CONCERN WILL BE A LARGE SQUALL
LINE.

TONIGHT...ONCE THE THUNDERSTORMS MOVE EAST, THE FRONT WILL BE
THROUGH THE REGION BY 06Z AS THE SFC LOW SHOULD BE SOMEWHERE AROUND
50-100 MILES NE OF ANJ. THE PROBLEM THEN BECOMES THE INCREASINGLY
STRONG GRADIENT WHICH, WITH THE COLD ADVECTION WILL BRINGS
SIGNIFICANTLY STRONG WINDS. THE MODELS ARE ALL SUGGESTING THAT THE
WINDS AT ABOUT 2000-2500 FEET WILL BE SUSTAINED NEAR 55 KNOTS. WITH
THE STABILITY SOMEWHAT UNSTABLE, DEPENDING ON THE MODEL SOUNDING,
WILL EXPECT THAT THERE WILL BE SOME WIND GUSTS TO AROUND 60 MPH.
WITH THAT IN MIND, WILL HAVE A HIGH WIND WARNING THAT WILL START
AROUND 03Z FOR N LOWER, AND 06Z FOR E UPPER. WITH THE LOW MOVING
QUICKLY OFF TO THE NE, WILL END THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES AROUND 12Z AS
THE GRADIENT BEGINS TO SLACKEN, AND 18Z FOR THE COUNTIES ALONG AND
NORTH OF M-32(ALTHOUGH WILL END THE WARNINGS FOR ALPENA AND
MONTMORENCY WITH THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES AS THINGS LOOK LIKE THEY
SHOULD END THERE A LITTLE FASTER). E UPPER WILL END AT 12Z AS THE
LONG TERM FORECAST WILL EXPLAIN THAT WINTER WEATHER HEADLINES WILL
BE NEEDED THERE.

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 328 AM EST SUN NOV 17 2013

COLDER AIR WILL CONTINUE TO BLAST INTO THE REGION ON MONDAY...AS
STRONG LOW PRESSURE EJECTS TO THE NE. LAKE EFFECT SNOW (LES) AND
BLUSTERY WINDS ARE EXPECTED IN AT LEAST SOME OF THE SNOWBELTS. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD EAST INTO THE REGION ON TUESDAY...WHICH WILL
ERODE LAKE-EFFECT PRECIP...BUT KEEP US ON THE COLD SIDE. THE MAIN
CHALLENGE IN THE LONG TERM IS LES EARLY ON IN THE FORECAST.

MODELS...GFS LOOKS EXCESSIVELY SLOW AND DEEP WITH THE SURFACE LOW
EARLY MONDAY. NAM/ECMWF/SREF ARE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE AND ARE
PREFERRED.

MONDAY...974MB-ISH SURFACE LOW WILL BE JUST SOUTH OF JAMES BAY
MONDAY MORNING...AND WILL BE EAST OF SAID BAY BY EVENING. A
LINGERING SURFACE TROF HANGS BACK ACROSS EASTERN UPPER AND EXTREME
NORTHERN LAKE MI TO START THE DAY...AND WILL SWING SE-WARD TOWARD
SAGINAW BAY AND FAR SOUTHERN LAKE MI AS MONDAY PROCEEDS. PRESSURE
GRADIENT WILL RELAX A SMIDGE IN THE MORNING...MORE SUBSTANTIALLY IN
THE PM HOURS.

WNW FLOW PROGGED INTO NORTHERN LOWER...WNW/NW ON SUPERIOR. WE SHOULD
JUST BE SEEING THE BEGINNING OF A LAKE RESPONSE AT 12Z MONDAY. 850MB
TEMPS WILL STILL BE HANGING AROUND -5C AT APN/OSC...BUT WILL ALREADY
BY -11C AT MQT UPSTREAM. INTERESTING THAT 850MB TEMPS NEVER LOWER
BELOW -9C. THAT KEEPS DELTA T/S FROM RISING ABOVE 16 OR SO...WHICH
IS ENOUGH FOR LAKE EFFECT BUT ISN/T TERRIBLY IMPRESSIVE. MOISTURE
AVAILABILITY IS MOST IMPRESSIVE ON SUPERIOR...WHICH IS ON THE OUTER
EDGE OF WRAPAROUND MOISTURE FOR THE DEPARTING CYCLONE. 850-700MB RH
ON SUPERIOR WILL BE AT OR ABOVE 85 PERCENT ON SUPERIOR THRU THE
DAY...WHILE NORTHERN LAKE MI IS 70-75 PERCENT THRU 18Z AND THEN
DECREASES.

GIVEN THE ABOVE...SUSPECT THE SNOWBELTS OF NORTHERN LOWER WILL
STRUGGLE A BIT TO GET MUCH IN THE WAY OF SNOW. SOME LOCALIZED 1-2
AMOUNTS SEEM POSSIBLE...MAINLY IN THE MORNING...BUT NO WORSE.
WESTERN/CENTRAL CHIPPEWA CO IS CONSIDERABLY MORE UNDER-THE-
GUN...WITH 1-4 INCH ACCUMS NEAR AND WEST OF I-75. LIMITING FACTOR IS
THAT THE BL WILL STILL BE SOMEWHAT MILD IN THE MORNING (SURFACE
TEMPS SLIPPING THRU THE MID AND EVENTUALLY LOWER 30S)...HINDERING
SNOW-LIQUID RATIOS. INDEED...PRECIP WILL STILL BE MIXY IN MANY
LOCALES EARLY IN THE MORNING.

MODELS CONSISTENTLY PAINT 40-45KT 950MB WINDS OVER THE WATERS NORTH
OF M-32 IN THE MORNING...BEFORE THE PRESSURE GRADIENT STARTS TO
SLACKEN MORE QUICKLY. THIS EQUATES TO POSSIBLE 45-50MPH WIND GUSTS
IN THE MORNING/THRU MIDDAY ALONG THE EQUIVALENT BEACHES. GIVEN SHORT
TERM FORECAST CONCERNS AND HEADLINES UP THRU 12Z...WILL PUSH THE
HIGH WIND WARNING UNTIL 15Z/10AM FOR CVX-ROGERS CITY AND POINTS
NORTH. WILL NOT GO WITH A WINT WX HEADLINE YET FOR CHIPPEWA...AN
ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED FOR THE REST OF THE DAY THOUGH.
(WOULD NOT RULE OUT A HARSHER HEADLINE THOUGH).

TEMPS FALLING THRU THE 30S AND INTO THE UPPER 20S.

MONDAY NIGHT/TUESDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD EAST INTO THE OHIO
VALLEY BY TUESDAY MORNING...GRADUALLY DISLODGING THE CYCLONICALLY-
CURVED LOW LEVEL FLOW. DEEP MOISTURE RAPIDLY DEPARTS AFTER 00Z...AND
LAKE EFFECT PRECIP WILL DIMINISH GREATLY MONDAY NIGHT. NAM IS VERY
QUICK TO RACE A SHORTWAVE EAST INTO THE NORTHERN LAKES...INTERACTING
WITH THE BEGINNINGS OF RETURN FLOW TO PERHAPS GENERATE PRECIP AGAIN
IN EASTERN UPPER LATE MONDAY NIGHT. THIS LOOKS MUCH TOO QUICK
COMPARED TO THE GFS/ECMWF...WHICH ALSO SKIRT THE MAX ISENTROPIC LIFT
JUST TO OUR NORTH. WILL KEEP THE FORECAST DRY THRU THESE PERIODS...
THOUGH WITH AN INCREASE IN CLOUDS IN NORTHERN SECTIONS ON TUESDAY.
MIN TEMPS UPPER TEENS TO MID 20S. MAX TEMPS MID 30S TO LOWER 40S.

REST OF THE FORECAST...THE ECMWF HAS BEEN THE MORE CONSISTENT OF THE
EXTENDED MODELS...AND FORMS A REASONABLE BASIS FOR THE EXTENDED
FORECAST. THE NEXT NORTHERN STREAM TROF IN THE SPLIT FLOW PATTERN
WILL REACH THE NORTHERN LAKES BY EARLY THURSDAY NIGHT...PUSHING A
COLD FRONT INTO NORTHERN MI DURING THE DAY THU. PRECIP CHANCES
ARRIVE AS A RAIN/SNOW MIX AS SOON AS WED NIGHT. POST-FRONTAL AIRMASS
SEES 850MB TEMPS DROP INTO THE LOW/MID MINUS TEENS...SO QUITE
CHILLY...BUT HIGH PRESSURE QUICKLY BUILDS OVERHEAD BY FRIDAY TO
LIMIT LAKE EFFECT. HOWEVER...A STRONGER UPPER TROF AND ASSOCIATED
COLD FRONT APPEARS LIKELY TO MOVE IN EARLY IN THE WEEKEND...WITH THE
POTENTIAL FOR SOME SERIOUS COLD AIR (850MB TEMPS -20C) BEHIND.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z MONDAY MORNING)
ISSUED AT 636 AM EST SUN NOV 17 2013

MVFR TO IFR TODAY. LLWS TODAY. STRONG TSRA POSSIBLE THIS
AFTERNOON. VERY WINDY TONIGHT.

TWO LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS TO OUR WEST WILL MERGE AND
STRENGTHEN...MOVING NE-WARD ACROSS THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES THIS
EVENING. WARM/MOIST AIR CONTINUES TO STREAM NORTH INTO THE
AREA...RESULTING IN CONSIDERABLE LOW CLOUD COVER AND SOME PRECIP.
SHRA/TSRA WILL BECOME A BIGGER THREAT THIS AFTERNOON...AS
STRONG/SVR TSRA TRY TO MOVE NORTH FROM THE SOUTHERN LAKES. A COLD
FRONT CROSSES NORTHERN MI THIS EVENING...DIMINISHING PRECIP (FOR A
TIME) AND INCREASING CIGS.

SOUTHERLY WINDS TODAY...WITH ENOUGH WIND JUST OFF THE DECK TO
WARRANT MARGINAL LLWS TODAY FOR SOME TAF SITES. WINDS WILL VEER
WEST AND INCREASE CONSIDERABLY THIS EVENING. GUSTS TO 35-40KT WILL
BE COMMON OVERNIGHT...PERHAPS HIGHER AT MBL/PLN.

&&

.MARINE...
ISSUED AT 328 AM EST SUN NOV 17 2013

TODAY THE WINDS WILL CONTINUE WITH THE SMALL CRAFT TO GALE GUSTS FOR
A TIME. HOWEVER, THE SFC LOW IS EXPECTED TO MOVE OVER NORTHERN LAKE
MICHIGAN BETWEEN 18Z AND 00Z. THIS WILL ALLOW THE WINDS TO DROP OFF
FOR ABOUT 3-6 HOURS(WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF THERE ARE SOME SMALL
CRAFT GUSTS, OR THE WAVES ARE STILL HIGH ENOUGH FOR SMALL CRAFT).
THEN AFTER 00Z, THE WINDS WILL VEER SHARPLY TO THE WNW AND THEN NW
AS AFTER THE LOW GOES BY. THE GRADIENT TIGHTENS QUICKLY. MODELS ARE
NOW SUGGESTING THAT THERE WILL BE 55 KNOTS AT ABOUT 2500 FEET, SO
THE POSSIBILITY FOR THE STORM FORCE GUSTS ON ALL THE GREAT LAKES IS
MUCH HIGH. SO HAVE STORMS ON THE NEARSHORE WATERS OF LAKE MICHIGAN
ALONG NW LOWER, AND GALES ALONG E UPPER AND IN GRAND TRAVERSE BAY.
AS THE WINDS TURN WNW THROUGH THE STRAITS, AND WITH THE COASTAL
CONVERGENCE OUT TYPICAL NW HIGH WINDS IN THE LAKE HURON NEARSHORE
WATERS WILL BE POSSIBLE, BUT ALSO ALONG E UPPER AND THE REST OF NE
LOWER AS THE WINDS COMING OFF THE LAND ARE EXPECTING SOME GUSTS TO
PAST 45 KNOTS. AS WELL AS DTX HAVING STORMS FOR THE OPEN WATERS. AS
THE LOW MOVES AWAY THE WINDS SHOULD BEGIN TO EASE A BIT SO THAT THE
STORMS/GALES ON LAKE MICHIGAN SHOULD DOWNGRADE SOMETIME ON MONDAY TO
GALES/SMALL CRAFT, AND THEN ON LAKE HURON MONDAY NIGHT.
