AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
301 AM EDT FRI MAY 9 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 437 PM EDT THU MAY 8 2014

A WARM FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE CENTRAL
PLAINS STRETCHES INTO THE UPPER GREAT LAKES AND WILL CONTINUE TO
PRODUCE RAIN AND THUNDER CHANCES THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. NEXT
PRECIPITATION FREE WEATHER WILL BE SATURDAY...AS A WEAK AREA OF HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE AREA. RAIN CHANCES RETURN SUNDAY AND RUN
INTO THE BEGINNING OF THE WORK WEEK.

&&

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1005 PM EDT THU MAY 8 2014

ANOTHER FUN/CHALLENGING CONVECTIVE FORECAST OVERNIGHT...BUT THIS
GO AROUND...THINGS SHOULD BE MUCH MORE QUIET FOR THE MAJORITY OF
NORTHERN MICHIGAN. EVENING ANALYSIS PLACES A VERY WAVY WARM FRONT
SOMEWHERE ACROSS CENTRAL OR EVEN SOUTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN...
ACTUALLY SEEMING TO RETREAT SOUTHWARD THIS EVENING AS IT WAS
OVERTAKEN BY LAKE BREEZES AND A COUPLE PERIODS OF CONVECTION UP
NEAR THE STRAITS. STILL...THE AIRMASS ACROSS MUCH OF NORTHERN
LOWER IS A SOUPY AND VERY WARM ONE...WITH ROUGHLY 1000 J/KG
ELEVATED CAPE AVAILABLE BUT UNTAPPABLE BY A SURFACE PARCEL PER A
STOUT CAP. AS SUCH...JUST NOT MUCH ONGOING RIGHT NOW...SAVE FOR
ONE ROGUE CLUSTER OF STORMS MIGRATING THROUGH THE FAR SOUTHEAST
CWA...TRIGGERED EARLIER BY LAKE BREEZE CONVERGENCE DOWN NEAR THE
GRR AREA...AND MAINTAINED BY SAID AVAILABLE ELEVATED INSTABILITY.

THE MAIN SHOW AT THE MOMENT REMAINS WELL OFF TO OUR WEST...TIED TO
AN AXIS OF HEIGHT FALLS ALONG A COLD FRONT ADVANCING INTO THE
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WHERE PLENTY OF CONVECTION IS ONGOING. ALSO OF
NOTE IS A LEAD SHORTWAVE AHEAD OF THE DEEPER UPPER TROUGH...LIFTING
THROUGH ILLINOIS AT THE MOMENT AND HELPING MAINTAIN A NICE SLUG OF
CONVECTION DOWN THAT WAY. IT IS THIS FEATURE THAT WILL APPROACH
FROM THE SOUTHWEST VERY LATE TONIGHT...COMBINING WITH THE SLOW
APPROACH OF THE COLD FRONT/HEIGHT FALLS FROM THE WEST TO GIVE
INCREASING RAIN CHANCES MAINLY AFTER 11Z. BEFORE THAT
TIME...NOCTURNAL INCREASE OF THE LOW LEVEL JET IS PROGGED TO
DELIVER STRONGER MASS CONVERGENCE FROM ABOUT M-68 ON NORTH...WHICH
SHOULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE FAIRLY NUMEROUS SHOWERS TOWARD THE
STRAITS/EASTERN U.P. INSTABILITY UP THAT WAY IS LIMITED AS THE
EARLIER ELEVATED MIXED LAYER HAS DEPARTED...BUT THUNDER CAN'T BE
FULLY RULED OUT...THOUGH WITH NO SEVERE WEATHER EXPECTED GIVEN
ELEVATED SKINNY VALUES ONLY AROUND 500 J/KG THROUGH THE NIGHT.
SOUTH OF THERE...JUST A MILD AND (HOPEFULLY) DRY NIGHT FOR MANY
AREAS...SAVE FOR THOSE WHERE BACKED FLOW OFF LAKE HURON HAS
ALREADY KNOCKED TEMPS BACK THROUGH THE 40S. THUS...A CLASSIC
NORTHERN MICHIGAN LATE SPRING BIG RANGE IN TEMPS IS EXPECTED...
WITH SOME SPOTS ACROSS NORTHWEST LOWER LIKELY TO NOT FALL OUT OF
THE 60S.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 437 PM EDT THU MAY 8 2014

OVERVIEW: SHORT WAVE TROUGH DIGGING INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS WITH
DOWNSTREAM RIDGING ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES. SFC LOW OVER THE
CENTRAL PLAINS...IN EASTERN NEBRASKA INCHING INTO WESTERN IOWA
WITH ATTENDING SFC WARM FRONT ARCHING EASTWARD INTO NRN LOWER
MICHIGAN. ONE MORE SMALL CLUSTER OF ELEVATED STORMS WORKING THEIR
WAY THROUGH EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN ALONG SOME SORT OF SMALL SCALE
IMPULSE. BUT OTHERWISE...JUST SCT SHOWERS (LARGELY ELEVATED) ACROSS
WISCONSIN AND LOWER MICHIGAN ALTHOUGH SOME SFC BASED MLCAPE HAS
DEVELOPED OVER SRN LOWER MICHIGAN AND NOSING UP INTO PARTS OF NW
LOWER MICHIGAN.

TONIGHT...LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL WORK IT/S WAY UP TOWARD THE
DULUTH AREA BY FRIDAY MORNING WHICH SHOULD FINALLY GET MOST IF NOT
ALL NRN MICHIGAN INTO THE WARM SECTOR...ALTHOUGH ANY SFC BASED
INSTABILITY WILL BE ON THE WANE WITH LOSS OF HEATING. BEST
SYNOPTIC FORCING REMAINS WELL TO OUR WEST NEAR THE SFC LOW AND
UPPER JET STREAK LOCATION. BUT...WITH STEEP LAPSE RATES/EML ALOFT
ACROSS NRN MICHIGAN...SCT SHOWER (AND PERHAPS A FEW THUNDERSTORMS)
THREAT WILL REMAIN THROUGH THIS EVENING PARTICULARLY AS LOW LEVEL
JET INCREASES THROUGH THE EVENING.

LATER THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT...ATTENTION THEN TURNS TO
UPSTREAM CONVECTION. DECENT LINE OF STORMS WORKING NE UP THROUGH
NRN IOWA INTO MINNESOTA NOW CLOSE TO THE SFC LOW AND WARM
FRONT...WHICH WILL MISS US. LOOKING FOR ADDITIONAL CONVECTION TO
DEVELOP LATER TONIGHT IN THE MIDWEST AS ATTENDING TRAILING COLD
FRONT THEN SWINGS INTO THE MIDWEST AND EDGES INTO THE WESTERN
GREAT LAKES OVERNIGHT. STILL DECENT POTENTIAL FOR ONE OR MORE
LINES/CLUSTERS OF STORMS TO ADVANCE INTO THE REGION LATE OVERNIGHT
THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING ALONG AND AHEAD OF ADVANCING COLD FRONT AND
WILL HAVE POPS RAMPING UP OVERNIGHT ACCORDING. SEVERE POTENTIAL
NOT ZERO...BUT WITH WANING INSTABILITY...ANY SEVERE THREAT WILL
MOSTLY BE LIMITED TO HAIL.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 437 PM EDT THU MAY 8 2014

HIGH IMPACT WEATHER POTENTIAL: CONVECTION THREAT FOR FRIDAY.

PATTERN SYNOPSIS/FORECAST: UPPER AIR PATTERN ACROSS THE US DOMINATED
BY ROCKIES TROUGH AND RIDGE FROM HUDSON BAY TO FLORIDA. SIGNIFICANT
SHORTWAVE OVER NEBRASKA THIS MORNING. SURFACE LOW IN KS/NE UNDER THE
SHORTWAVE WITH WARM FRONT FROM LOW INTO OHIO. SFC LOW WILL MOVE
ALONG WITH SHORTWAVE THROUGH MINN TONIGHT AND INTO ONTARIO FRIDAY
DRAGGING ITS COLD FRONT THROUGH MICHIGAN LATE FRIDAY.

SHORTWAVE ENERGY ON THE SOUTH END OF THE TROUGH WILL MOVE RAPIDLY
NORTHEAST...SQUASHING THE TOP OF THE EASTERN RIDGE OVER THE WEEKEND.
THE RIDGE BUILDS BACK IN AGAIN EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE SHORTWAVE
ENERGY MOVES AWAY. AT THE SAME TIME...JET ENERGY MOVING INTO THE
PACIFIC NW WILL HELP TO CARVE OUT ANOTHER TROUGH IN THE WESTERN US.
THIS TROUGH WILL MOVE ACROSS THE CONUS REACHING THE GREAT LAKES
MIDWEEK.

PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERNS (NEAR TERM): CONVECTION THREAT FOR
FRIDAY.

NEAR TERM (FRIDAY): COLD FRONT APPROACHES DURING THE DAY WITH
HIGHEST INSTABILITY EARLY ON. CAPE VALUES OVER 1000J/KG EARLY ON AT
TVC BUT TAIL TO BELOW 100J/KG AS MID LEVELS WARM BY AFTERNOON. BEST
FORCING EARLY ON AS WELL WITH NOSE OF 850MB JET PROVIDING LOW LEVEL
CONVERGENCE THROUGH CENTRAL PART OF MICHIGAN. LEFT EXIT REGION OF
JET STREAK ON PV15 SURFACE MOVES OVER REGION MIDDAY. MOISTURE
AVAILABLE AS WELL WITH PWATS CLOSE TO 1.5...850MB DWPTS AROUND
10C...SO SURE TO SEE PRECIPITATION...ESPECIALLY EARLY. CONCERN IS
FOR ACTIVITY OVER IA/MN TO ROTATE INTO REGION TOWARD MORNING. LOOKS
LIKE HEAVY RAIN IS THE MAIN THREAT FOR FRIDAY THUNDERSTORMS.
INSTABILITY MUCH LESS FURTHER NORTH IN THE UPPER PEN. COLD FRONT
MOVES THROUGH CWA BETWEEN 03-09Z SATURDAY ENDING THE THREAT FOR
PRECIPITATION.

MID-TERM (SATURDAY): CLEARING BEHIND THE FRONT BUT WITH MUCH COOLER
AIR. 850MB TEMPS BELOW 5C. WELL-MIXED LOW LEVELS SHOULD BRING BREEZY
CONDITIONS AS WELL.

REST OF THE FORECAST PERIOD (SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY): RIDGE BUILDS
BACK IN BY MONDAY WITH PACIFIC ENERGY BUILDING ANOTHER TROUGH IN THE
WESTERN US. SHORTWAVE ENERGY ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE TROUGH WILL
HELP SFC LOW DEVELOP IN LEE OF THE ROCKIES. LOW AND ACCOMPANYING
FRONTS GET STRUNG OUT ON WESTERN EDGE OF RIDGE WAITING FOR WESTERN

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1148 PM EDT THU MAY 8 2014

VFR WITH LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR AT ALL SITES FOR MUCH OF THE REST OF
THE NIGHT. HOWEVER...CONTINUE TO EXPECT AN AREA OF SHOWERS AND
EMBEDDED STORMS TO ARRIVE FROM THE SOUTHWEST VERY LATE TONIGHT
INTO FRIDAY MORNING...BRINGING A POSSIBLE PERIOD OF MVFR CEILINGS
AND VISIBILITIES TO MOST SITES...THOUGH CONFIDENCE IN THE
LONGEVITY OF SUCH CONDITIONS IS RATHER LOW. THINGS SHOULD IMPROVE
FROM WEST TO EAST AS THE COLD FRONT AND DRIER AIR GRADUALLY ARRIVE
FOR THE AFTERNOON...THOUGH WINDS WILL REMAIN GUSTY FROM THE
SOUTHWEST FOR ALL SITES. STILL WAITING TO SEE WHETHER OR NOT WE
CAN GET A SNEAKY BATCH OF MVFR CEILINGS TO PUSH BACK INTO THE AREA
AFTER 00Z...AS MUCH COLDER AIR SNEAKS IN ALOFT...BUT CURRENT
THINKING IS THAT MOST OF THIS CLOUD DECK WILL SLIP BY TO THE
NORTHWEST OF ALL TERMINAL SITES.

.MARINE...
ISSUED AT 253 AM EDT FRI MAY 9 2014

WINDS ARE GONNA HOLD EASTERLY THROUGH THE STRAITS FOR A HANDFUL
MORE HOURS...WHILE ALSO ACCELERATING IN THAT AREA. HOISTED A SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY FOR THERE THROUGH 7AM...BEFORE THINGS SHOULD LET UP
A BIT. ALSO ISSUED ADVISORIES FOR THE NW LOWER NEARSHORE WATERS AS
COASTAL CONVERGENCE AND SOME MIXING RIGHT ON THE SHORE HAS
RESULTED IN ADVISORY LEVEL GUSTS. THESE WINDS WILL LIKELY MAKE
THEIR PRESENCE KNOWN THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY AND POSSIBLY INTO THE
EVENING....AS WINDS SHIFT MORE OUT OF THE SW WITH THE PASSAGE OF A
COLD FRONT. THE GRADIENT WILL START TO RELAX LATE TONIGHT AND
ESPECIALLY OVER THE WEEKEND WITH HIGHER PRESSURE MOVING IN.

A LINE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS HAS LIFTED THROUGH FAR NRN LAKE
HURON...WHITEFISH BAY AND THE ST MARYS...ONE CELL MAY HAVE BLOWN
THINGS AROUND PRETTY GOOD AT DETOUR VILLAGE. ISOLATED STORMS IN
THEIR WAKE WILL GROW WITH TIME THROUGH THIS MORNING AHEAD OF THE
AFOREMENTIONED COLD FRONT. THIS BAND OF PRECIPITATION WILL EXIT
LAKE HURON THIS AFTERNOON.
