AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI
658 PM EST SUN JAN 6 2013
.AVIATION...
//DISCUSSION...
POST FRONTAL DRY AIR WILL BEGIN CUTTING INTO LOW CLOUD COVERAGE OVER
LOWER MICHIGAN TONIGHT. THE CLEARING TREND WILL ALSO GET ASSISTED BY
A MORE NEUTRAL NORTHWEST LOW LEVEL WIND FIELD AND THE APPROACH OF
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE FROM THE UPPER MIDWEST. THE PASSAGE OF THE
SURFACE RIDGE LATE TONIGHT WILL BE MARKED BY BACKING SURFACE WIND
THAT WILL INCREASE DURING THE COURSE OF MONDAY. THIS WILL BE THE
MAIN AVIATION CONCERN AS SOUTHWEST WIND GUSTS REACH INTO THE 20 TO
25 KNOT RANGE BY MID AFTERNOON.
FOR DTW... EXTENDED VFR CEILING BELOW 5000 FEET FOR A FEW MORE HOURS
INTO THE OVERNIGHT. POST FRONTAL DRY AIR WILL LIFT CEILING OUT OF
MVFR BUT WILL TAKE A WHILE LONGER TO BREAK UP THE LOW CLOUDS
COMPLETELY.
//DTW THRESHOLD THREATS...
* HIGH CONFIDENCE IN CEILING BELOW 5000 FEET TONIGHT.

.PREV DISCUSSION...ISSUED 334 PM EST SUN JAN 6 2013
SHORT TERM...TONIGHT
COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY STEADILY PROGRESSING THROUGH SOUTHEAST
MICHIGAN THIS AFTERNOON. ONGOING LIGHT SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY
ANCHORED ON THE ATTENDANT LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE AXIS AND WITHIN A
SMALL PLUME OF DEEPER SUB-850 MB MOISTURE WILL EXIT TO THE EAST
WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. A FEW ADDITIONAL POCKETS OF
FLURRIES/VERY LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS MAY YET EMERGE THROUGH THE
EVENING WITHIN A SUSTAINABLE STEEP LAPSE RATE ENVIRONMENT AND
MOISTURE PROFILE.
A CONCERTED PUSH OF DRY AIR WILL THEN AGGRESSIVELY FUNNEL SOUTHEAST
ACROSS THE LOWER PENINSULA TONIGHT. THIS IN CONJUNCTION WITH
INCREASING SUBSIDENCE WILL SUPPORT A PROGRESSIVE CLEARING TREND INTO
THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. WEAK SURFACE RIDGING SLIPPING THROUGH AT
THE SAME TIME WILL TEND TO EASE THE GRADIENT. THE PROSPECTS OF A
PERIOD OF CLEAR SKY COMBINED WITH WEAK COLD AIR ADVECTION AND A
DIMINISHING WIND FIELD WILL ALLOW MANY LOCATIONS TO MAKE A RUN INTO
THE TEENS BY MONDAY MORNING. THIS FAVORS A LEAN TOWARD THE COOLER
END OF AVAILABLE MODEL GUIDANCE FOR LOWS.
LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH NEXT SUNDAY
LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE EXTENDED FORECAST AS MODEL CONTINUE TO MAKE
RATHER NOTICEABLE ADJUSTMENTS WITH EACH RUN...AND FAIL TO CONVERGE
ON ANY ONE SOLUTION. WILL USE OVERALL MODEL TRENDS FROM THE LAST FEW
RUNS TO GUIDE THE FORECAST BUT NOT READY TO BUY INTO ANY ONE MODEL
AS RUN TO RUN FLUCTUATIONS STILL CONCERNING.
THE OVERALL LONGWAVE PATTERN FEATURES A SPLIT FLOW PATTERN WITH
NEARLY ZONAL FLOW FOR THE NORTHERN STREAM ACROSS SOUTHERN CANADA AND
WEAK SOUTHERN STREAM ACROSS THE GULF COAST STATES. THE NORTHERN
STREAM HAS BEEN TRENDING MORE AMPLIFIED OVER THE LAST FEW RUNS AS
EMBEDDED SHORTWAVES ARE FEELING THE EFFECTS OF A STRONGER JET. IN
ADDITION...AN UPPER LOW HAS CUT OFF OVER CALIFORNIA AND WILL SLOWLY
DRIFT SOUTHEAST THROUGH MEXICO AND NE ACROSS TEXAS UNDER A
BROADENING/STRENGTHENING MID LEVEL RIDGE WHICH WILL COVER MOST OF
THE CENTRAL CONUS BY MIDWEEK. THE MODELS HAVE STRUGGLED QUIT A BIT
WITH THIS CUT OFF LOW...INITIALLY DIFFERING IN THE TIMING OF IT
REACHING THE GREAT LAKES...TO THEN WHETHER IT WOULD EVEN TURN
NORTHWARD AT ALL OR STAY SOUTH ACROSS THE GULF COAST STATES...AND
NOW BACK TO WHEN IT WILL REACH THE GREAT LAKES. MUCH OF THIS WILL
DEPEND ON THE TROUGH THAT WILL DEEPEN OVER THE WEST COAST ON
THURSDAY AND HOW PROGRESSIVE IT WILL BE. IT LOOKS LIKE MODELS ARE
LEANING BACK TOWARD HAVING IT STRONG ENOUGH TO PULL THE CUTOFF LOW
NORTHWARD BRINGING IT OVER THE AREA THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY. A
BROAD SFC RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN CONUS WILL KEEP A DRY SOUTHERLY
FLOW OVER THE REGION THROUGH MIDWEEK AND WILL ALSO HELP FORCE THE
SFC LOW TOWARD MI. AS THE LONGWAVE TROUGH PUSHES EAST...THE RIDGE
WILL GET FORCED EASTWARD ALLOWING THE MOIST CONVEYOR BELT FROM THE
GULF TO KICK IN. ALTHOUGH MODEL OUTPUTS DIVERGE QUITE A BIT THE
LATTER HALF OF THE FORECAST...IT LOOKS LIKE THERE WILL BE AN
EXTENDED PERIOD WHERE WE WILL SEE CHANCES OF PRECIP AS SEVERAL
SYSTEMS WORK THOUGH THE REGION. THERE WILL LIKELY BE BREAKS IN
THE ACTION BETWEEN SYSTEMS BUT CANNOT TIME THESE IN THIS FAR OUT SO
WILL COVER WITH SLIGHT CHANCE OR LOW CHANCE POPS. THE PRECIP WILL
FALL MOSTLY AS RAIN THROUGH THE WEEK AS THE RIDGE WILL ALLOW WARM
AIR TO BUILD NORTH WITH TEMPS INTO THE UPPER 40S BY
FRIDAY/SATURDAY.
MARINE...
A BRIEF INCREASE IN NORTHERLY WINDS ACROSS LAKE HURON THROUGH
THIS EVENING IN THE WAKE OF A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE WILL PROVIDE A
WINDOW FOR SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS ACROSS THE NEARSHORE WATERS AND
OUTER SAGINAW BAY. WINDS AND WAVES WILL QUICKLY DIMINISH OVERNIGHT
AS A SURFACE RIDGE SLIPS THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES. WINDS BECOME
SOUTHWESTERLY AND STRENGTHEN ON MONDAY AS THE GRADIENT INCREASES
BETWEEN THE DEPARTING RIDGE AND LOW PRESSURE TRACKING THROUGH
WESTERN ONTARIO. GIVEN THE SUFFICIENTLY LOW STABILITY OVER THE
WATERS AND A FAVORABLE TRAJECTORY FOR SOME CHANNELING OVER SAGINAW
BAY...THE POTENTIAL FOR GALES WILL EXIST MONDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING FROM THE BAY UP INTO CENTRAL PORTIONS OF LAKE HURON. A GALE
WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THIS PERIOD. SOUTHWEST GRADIENT WILL
EASE MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY PROMPTING A WEAKENING OF THE WIND
FIELD THROUGH THIS TIME. ANOTHER PERIOD OF INCREASED SOUTHWESTERLY
WINDS WILL EXIST ON WEDNESDAY AS THE GRADIENT AGAIN TIGHTENS SOUTH
OF ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TRACKING THROUGH SOUTHERN CANADA.
