AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI
1006 AM EDT WED APR 10 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 324 AM EDT WED APR 10 2013

THE VERY WET PATTERN WILL CONTINUE FOR A COUPLE MORE DAYS. WE EXPECT
WAVES OF SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TO MOVE ACROSS SW LWR
MICHIGAN TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY. AS LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES WINDS
WILL INCREASE TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY. THE NORTHEAST WINDS WILL
DRAW SOUTH SOME COOLER AIR WHICH IN TURN WILL HELP TO CREATE
FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET NORTH OF M-46 LATE TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY.
THIS PRECIPITATION WILL CHANGE TO WET SNOW BY FRIDAY. TEMPERATURES
WILL BE RATHER CHILLY THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEKEND BEFORE
MODERATING SUNDAY INTO NEXT WEEK.

&&

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1005 AM EDT WED APR 10 2013

NO SIGNIFICANT FCST CHANGES ARE PLANNED/NECESSARY LATE THIS
MORNING. KGRR RADAR TRENDS SHOW AERAS OF RAIN ACROSS OUR AREA AND
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS NEAR TO SOUTH OF I-96. NO SEVERE WX IS
ANTICIPATED TODAY BUT STRONGEST STORMS MAY CONTAIN OCCASIONAL
LIGHTNING... HEAVY RAINFALL... BRIEFLY GUSTY WINDS AND PERHAPS
SOME SMALL HAIL.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 324 AM EDT WED APR 10 2013

FORECAST CONCERNS DEAL WITH THE ONGOING SHOWERS/TSRA AND THE
POTENTIAL ICING EVENT LATE TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY.

A STATIONARY FRONT REMAINS PARKED OVER NRN INDIANA/NRN OHIO WITH LOW
PRESSURE IN MISSOURI. A STRONG FEED OF MOISTURE FROM THE SOUTH
CONTINUES TO OVER RUN THE FRONT RESULTING IN SHOWERS/STORMS FROM
MISSOURI NEWD INTO WISCONSIN. A DEEP UPPER TROUGH OVER THE ROCKIES
HAS RESULTED IN WEAK UPPER RIDING OVER THE ERN US LEADING TO
CONFLUENT FLOW ACROSS MICHIGAN. SEVERAL SHORT WAVES WERE MOVING
ACROSS THE STATE AND ANOTHER IS POISED TO MOVE ACROSS THIS MORNING.
EACH WAVE HAS RESULTED IN AN UPTICK IN SHOWERS/STORMS DURING THE
PAST DAY OR SO AND THAT TREND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THURSDAY.
ELEVATED INSTABILITY WILL RESULT IN A CONTINUED THREAT OF THUNDER
ALONG/SOUTH OF I-96 TODAY/TONIGHT. EXCESSIVE RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE
WITH ANOTHER 2-3 INCHES POSSIBLE THROUGH THE PERIOD LEADING TO
LOCALIZED FLOODING.

THE OTHER ISSUES WE/RE LOOKING AT IS THE POTENTIAL FOR FREEZING RAIN
AND SLEET COUPLED WITH GUSTY NORTHEAST WINDS LATE TONIGHT THROUGH
THURSDAY. THE NORTHEAST WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO DRAG DOWN JUST ENOUGH
COLDER AIR TO RESULT IN A FREEZING RAIN THREAT ACROSS THE NRN 2 ROWS
OF COUNTIES BEGINNING LATE TONIGHT AND CONTINUING THROUGH THURSDAY
BEFORE THE PCPN TURNS OVER LIGHT SNOW.

GIVEN THE ABUNDANT RAINFALL EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT 36 HRS THE
FREEZING RAIN COULD BECOME PROBLEMATIC. JUST HOW MUCH ICE THERE WILL
BE IS THE ISSUE. CONFIDENCE IS LOW ON ESTIMATING HOW MUCH ICE WILL
ACCUMULATE. FREEZING RAIN WITH TEMPS AROUND FREEZING ISN/T NEARLY AS
PROBLEMATIC AS FREEZING RAIN WITH TEMPS IN THE TEENS. AS A RESULT
THIS MAY NOT BE A HIGH IMPACT EVENT...ALTHOUGH THE POTENTIAL IS
THERE. COMPOUNDING THE ISSUE WILL BE THE WINDS. GUSTY NORTHEAST
WINDS 20-30 MPH COULD RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT TREE DAMAGE. CONFIDENCE
IS FAIRLY HIGH THAT WE/LL SEE FREEZING RAIN AND SOME SLEET. BUT
CONFIDENCE IS LOWER AS TO WHAT THE IMPACT WILL BE. WE WANTED TO LET
PEOPLE KNOW THAT THE WEATHER WILL TAKE A TURN FOR THE WORSE LATE
TONIGHT ACROSS THE NRN CWA. AS A RESULT WE ISSUED A WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORY FOR THE NRN 2 ROWS OF COUNTIES FROM 06Z TONIGHT THROUGH 00Z
FRIDAY.

AS THE LOW GOES BY THURSDAY NIGHT...ENOUGH COLDER AIR SHOULD WORK
SOUTH INTO THE CWA TO MINIMIZE THE FREEZING RAIN THREAT AND TURN ANY
LINGERING PCPN OVER THE LIGHT SNOW.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 324 AM EDT WED APR 10 2013

THE MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE IN THE LONG TERM DEALS WITH THE
PRECIPITATION POTENTIAL FOR FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY.

THE GFS IS DIGGING A MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE INTO THE LOWER GREAT LAKES
REGION CAUSING THE UPPER LOW TO REMAIN PARKED OVER SOUTHERN ONTARIO
FOR FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY NIGHT. THIS WOULD ACT TO KEEP THE
PRECIPITATION GOING.  THE INCOMING ECMWF SUGGESTS THE UPPER LOW WILL
TRACKING EAST BY THIS TIME...WITH A MUCH LOWER POTENTIAL FOR
PRECIPITATION.  THE ECMWF IS SHOWING DECENT CONTINUITY AND THE 500
MB HEIGHT FIELDS FROM THE GFS40 00Z SAT FOR THE UPPER MID WEST LOOK
NOISY FEATURING SEVERAL VERY SMALL SCALE WAVES.  SO WILL FAVOR THE
ECMWF.  BASED ON THAT WILL GO WITH A DRY SAT NIGHT.  LOW POPS TO
CONTINUE FOR FRI NIGHT INTO SAT.  PRECIPITATION TYPE SNOW FOR FRI
NIGHT GIVEN THE BELOW FREEZING SOUNDING PROFILE.  RAIN OR SNOW
SHOWERS SATURDAY WITH DIURNAL HEATING POSSIBLY WARMING CONDITIONS UP
ENOUGH TO MELT THE FALLING SNOW.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z THURSDAY MORNING)
ISSUED AT 738 AM EDT WED APR 10 2013

SEVERAL ROUNDS OF STORMS THROUGH THE DAY WILL IMPACT THE TAF
SITES. WITH THE FRONTAL ZONE NEARLY STATIONARY OVER THE REGION
INTO THU...THE IFR AND LOWER CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL. ICING WILL
BECOME AN INCREASING HAZARD TONIGHT AND THU ESPECIALLY NORTH OF
KMKG...KGRR AND KLAN.

&&

.MARINE...
ISSUED AT 324 AM EDT WED APR 10 2013

BASED ON LOWER DEWPOINTS AND OBS ALONG THE COAST WE DISCONTINUED THE
MARINE DENSE FOG ADVISORY. WE ADDED A SCA THROUGH 06Z TONIGHT AND A
GALE WARNING AFTER 06Z. WINDS WILL INCREASE TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY
AS LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES AND INCREASE TO GALE FORCE LATE TONIGHT.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 324 AM EDT WED APR 10 2013

WILL ISSUE A FLOOD WATCH FOR MUCH OF THE REGION TODAY THROUGH
THURSDAY.

SOME LOCATIONS SAW A SOAKING RAIN TUESDAY...ESPECIALLY THE
MUSKEGON...GRAND RAPIDS TO LANSING REGION. ROUGHLY 1 TO 2 INCHES OF
RAIN HAS FALLEN SO FOR THIS REGION AND STREAMS AND CREEKS ARE NEAR
BANKFULL. FURTHER SOUTH NOT MUCH RAIN HAS FALLEN SO FAR FROM THIS
EVENT.

SEVERAL CLUSTERS OF CONVECTION EXIST UPSTREAM FROM WISCONSIN THROUGH
MISSOURI AND THEY ARE HEADED EAST ALONG THE STATIONARY FRONTAL ZONE
THAT EXTENDS INTO LOWER MI. RADAR 850 MB VWP SHOWS A SOUTHERLY LLJ
OF GREATER THAN 35 KNOTS AT ILX FEEDING THE GULF MOISTURE INTO THESE
STORMS.  ELEVATED INSTABILITY EXISTS ALONG THE FRONTAL ZONE THROUGH
THE DURATION OF THE EVENT.  THE PV ANOMALY KICKING OUT OF THE
SOUTHWEST U.S. WILL PROVIDE FAVORABLE UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE THROUGH
THU ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKE REGION.  THE LLJ TAKES A POSITION
SOUTH OF MI...AND WILL FEED THAT GULF MOISTURE INTO THE FRONTAL
ZONE...KEEPING LIFT GOING FOR MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF STORMS.

THE FIRST ROUND OF STORMS WILL ARRIVE IN 10Z TO 20Z.  THIS
ORIGINATES FROM THE CONVECTION BUILDING IN THE MI/IA REGION. NAM40
SHOWS FAVORABLE 850 MOISTURE FLUX DIVERGENCE INTO SOUTHERN LOWER MI
ORIENTATED ALONG THE FRONTAL ZONE.  THIS SUGGESTS A SEVERAL HOUR
PERIOD OF HEAVIER RAIN.  THEN PERHAPS A LULL IN THE RAIN FOR THE
AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING.  A MUCH STRONGER LOW LEVEL JET ARRIVES
TONIGHT AND THAT SHOULD CAUSE THE CONVECTION TO BLOSSOM SOMEWHERE IN
THE NRN IL TO SOUTHERN MI REGION...AIDED BY THE INCREASING UPPER
LEVEL DIVERGENCE. GIVEN THE ORIENTATION OF THE 850 MB MOISTURE FLUX
DIVERGENCE STRETCHED OUT ALONG THE FRONTAL ZONE...THE HEAVY SHOWERS
MAY REPEAT OVER THE SAME AREA FOR MORE THAN 3 HOURS.  AS A RESULT A
FLOOD WATCH WILL BE ISSUED.

AS ALL THIS RUNOFF ROUTES INTO THE LARGER RIVERS CONSIDERABLE
RISES WILL OCCUR AT FORECAST POINTS THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK.

&&

.GRR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
