AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
1258 AM EST SAT JAN 11 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 405 PM EST FRI JAN 10 2014

A PLAINS STORM SYSTEM ADVANCING TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES...WILL SLOWLY
MOVE ACROSS THE STATE SATURDAY BEFORE EXITING EAST INTO QUEBEC
SUNDAY. THIS PATTERN WILL GENERATE...MILD TEMPERATURES ALONG WITH A
WINTRY MIX OF PRECIPITATION ACROSS NORTHERN MICHIGAN THROUGH MUCH OF
THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.

COOLER AND MORE SEASONAL TEMPERATURES WILL FILTER BACK INTO THE
GREAT LAKES NEXT WEEK. THE CHANCE FOR SNOW SHOWERS INCREASES
INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...AS ANOTHER PLAINS SYSTEM PASSES OVER
THE GREAT LAKES.

&&

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1245 AM EST SAT JAN 11 2014

JUST UPDATED THE FREEZING RAIN WARNING FOR THE SOUTHERN TIER OF
COUNTIES. WHILE THE TEMPERATURES ARE WELL ABOVE FREEZING, ICE
STILL CONTINUES TO FORM ON AREA ROADWAYS AS THE RWIS PAVEMENT
TEMPERATURES STILL CONTINUE TO SHOW TEMPERATURES AT FOR BELOW
FREEZING FOR EVERYWHERE BUT ALONG THE LAKE MICHIGAN SHORELINE
(BENZONIA AND MANISTEE). SO EXTENDED THE WARNING THAT WAS TO
EXPIRE AT 1 AM TO 7AM.

OTHERWISE, THE ABOVE FREEZING AIR TEMPERATURES HAVE MADE IT INTO E
UPPER WITH CIU AND DRM REPORTING 34F AND 35F RESPECTIVELY.
HOWEVER, IT WAS TILL SNOW AT ANJ THIS LAST HOUR AS THE ASOS
REPORTS 3/4SM.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 1015 PM EST FRI JAN 10 2014

WIDESPREAD FREEZING RAIN CONTINUES ACROSS ALMOST ALL OF NRN LWR
MICHIGAN LATE THIS EVENING. SOME LOCATIONS HAVE WARMED JUST ABOVE
FREEZING BUT ARE STILL SEEING SOME FREEZING OF THE RAIN ON
ROADWAY SURFACES THAT ARE STILL JUST BELOW FREEZING. SOME
LOCATIONS ALONG THE SHORELINES OF LAKES MICHIGAN AND HURON HAVE
WARMED SEVERAL DEGREES ABOVE FREEZING AND ARE LIKELY RECEIVING
PLAIN RAIN NOW...BUT INLAND AREAS OF THESE COUNTIES ARE LIKELY
COOLER AND STILL SEEING FREEZING RAIN ATTM. ISSUED ICE STORM
WARNING FOR ALL OF NRN LWR MICHIGAN ABOUT 2 HOURS AGO...WITH MANY
REPORTS FROM AROUND THE REGION OF RAPID ICE ACCUMULATION ON
ROADWAYS AND WALKWAYS...RESULTING IN HAZARDOUS DRIVING AND WALKING
CONDITIONS. STILL EXPECT LOCATIONS SOUTH OF M-72 AND SHORELINE
COUNTIES FROM LEELANAU TO MANISTEE INCLUDING GRAND TRAVERSE AS
WELL AS ALCONA SOUTHWARD TO ARENAC WILL SEE TEMPS SUFFICIENTLY
WARM TO ALLOW THE ICE STORM WARNING TO EXPIRE ON TIME AT 06Z. THE
REST OF NRN LWR MICHIGAN WILL REMAIN UNDER AN ICE STORM WARNING
OVERNIGHT...AND WILL CANCEL THIS WARNING AS CONDITIONS IMPROVE
WITH CONTINUED LOW LEVEL WAA LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY SATURDAY.
LATEST NAM BUFR SOUNDINGS STILL SUGGEST FREEZING RAIN WILL REACH
ALL THE WAY INTO ERN UPR MICHIGAN OVERNIGHT. HAVE MODIFIED PRECIP
TYPE FORECAST TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS...BUT WILL MAINTAIN THE WINTER
WX ADVISORY FOR NOW AND WILL WATCH WHAT HAPPENS WITH PRECIP TYPE
AS WE HEAD INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. ATTM...ALL SURFACE OBS IN ERN
UPR MICHIGAN ARE REPORTING SNOW. BOTTOM LINE...BE VERY CAREFUL IF
YOU ARE TRAVELING TONIGHT!

UPDATE ISSUED AT 635 PM EST FRI JAN 10 2014

LEADING EDGE OF WIDESPREAD MIXED PRECIP HAS REACHED THE SRN BORDER
OF OUR CWA THIS EVENING. TEMPS REMAIN MOSTLY AOB FREEZING
ATTM...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF OSC WHICH IS HOLDING AT 33 DEGREES.
UPSTREAM SURFACE OBS OVER CENTRAL LWR MICHIGAN ARE SHOWING MOSTLY
EITHER SNOW OR UNKNOWN PRECIP FOR PRESENT WEATHER. WILL CONTINUE
TO CLOSELY WATCH PRECIP TYPE AS WIDESPREAD PRECIP CONTINUES TO
SLOWLY INCH ITS WAY NORTHWARD THRU OUR ENTIRE CWA THIS EVENING. NO
ADJUSTMENTS NEEDED TO THE FORECAST AT THIS TIME...BUT WILL
CERTAINLY MAKE ANY NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS TO PRECIP TYPE AS THE
EVENT UNFOLDS.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 405 PM EST FRI JAN 10 2014

...WINTRY MIX TO CAUSE TRAVEL HEADACHES TONIGHT...

HIGH IMPACT WEATHER POTENTIAL: ACCUMULATING SNOW OVER EASTERN
UP...WITH A WINTRY MIX TRANSITIONING TO RAIN OVER NORTHERN LOWER.

PATTERN SUMMARY: EARLY AFTERNOON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY REVEALS A
PROGRESSIVE PATTERN ACROSS NORTH AMERICA WITH DIGGING SHORT WAVE
ENERGY OVER THE NATION/S MIDSECTION.  BLENDED TOTAL PRECIPITABLE
WATER IMAGERY SHOWS THE GULF OF MEXICO OPENING UP WITH 1" PWATS
ALREADY PUSHING INTO THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.  UNDER STRONG WARM
ADVECTION...NATIONAL RADAR SHOWS A BLOSSOMING AREA OF PRECIPITATION
NOW REACHING INTO ILLINOIS.  THIS IS BOUND FOR NORTHERN MICHIGAN...
AS LOW PRESSURE...NOW ORGANIZING OVER SOUTHEASTERN NEBRASKA TAKES A
TRACK INTO NORTHERN LAKE MICHIGAN BY DAYBREAK SATURDAY...AND THEN
THROUGH THE STRAITS ON SATURDAY. THIS TRACK...ALONG WITH A LACK OF
STRONG HIGH PRESSURE TO THE NORTH OF THE REGION SUGGESTS THAT WARM
AIR WILL HAVE NO PROBLEM REACHING INTO THIS CWA OVERNIGHT...CAUSING
HEADACHES FOR PRECIPITATION TYPE.

INTERESTING TO SEE ROAD TEMPERATURES RESPONDING RATHER QUICKLY
TODAY...ALREADY NEARING FREEZING ALONG THE COAST OF NW LOWER...WITH
VALUES IN THE MID/UPPER 20S ELSEWHERE.  THIS CERTAINLY HAS
IMPLICATIONS FOR US TONIGHT.

THROUGH THIS EVENING: VISIBILITIES HAVE BEEN IMPROVING SOMEWHAT OVER
THE PAST FEW HOURS...AND GIVEN THIS TREND...DO NOT EXPECT THAT WE/LL
NEED ANOTHER SPS LATE THIS AFTERNOON...BUT WILL CONTINUE AREAS OF
FOG MENTION IN THE AFTERNOON FORECAST.  TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO
MOVE INTO THE BALMY CATEGORY /COMPARED TO LATE/ WITH SOME SPOTS
MAKING A RUN AT FREEZING ALONG THE COASTS OF LAKE MICHIGAN/HURON AS
PRECIPITATION ARRIVES TOWARDS 00Z.

TONIGHT: PLENTY TO FORCE PRECIPITATION TONIGHT AS UPSTREAM SHORTWAVE
GOES NEUTRAL...TO PERHAPS EVEN SLIGHTLY NEGATIVE TILT WITH A COUPLED
JET STRUCTURE AT H2.  THIS SUPPORTS DEEP ASCENT OF AN INCREASINGLY
MOIST AIRMASS...WITH DEEP SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW PROVIDING NOTHING TO
BLOCK INCOMING MOISTURE /IE NO DRY LLEVEL SOUTHEASTERLIES/.  THESE
SCENARIOS TEND TO START FAST AND END FAST...SO EXPECT PRECIPITATION
TO RAPIDLY MOVE INTO THE REGION FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST IN THE
5PM-9PM TIMEFRAME...WITH A 6-9 HOUR OF HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION.

PTYPE: MODEL THERMAL STRUCTURE HAS TRENDED A LITTLE COOLER THAN THE
PAST FEW DAYS...WHICH IS A BIT INTERESTING GIVEN THE FACT THAT THE
NAM/GFS 12Z INITIALIZATION WAS ALREADY A BIT TOO WARM UPSTREAM.
SURFACE TEMPS HAVE RESPONDED PRETTY QUICKLY TODAY...BUT EXPECT THAT
AS WE NEAR THE FREEZING MARK...ITS GOING TO TAKE A BIT OF TIME TO
MAKE THAT FINAL PUSH TO ALL LIQUID.  PRETTY MUCH FOLLOWED A
CONSENSUS APPROACH THAT DOESN/T STRAY TOO MUCH FROM OUR PREVIOUS
THINKING.  THIS IS A LITTLE WARMER THAN THE NAM...BUT PROBABLY A TAD
LESS AGGRESSIVE THAN THE ECMWF.

SO...WHAT TO EXPECT?  FROM THE BRIDGE NORTH...EXPECT MOSTLY SNOW
THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT...AS THE WARM NOSE PRETTY MUCH MAKES IT INTO
THE STRAITS BEFORE SHIFTING EAST TOWARDS DAYBREAK SATURDAY.  BEST
MOISTURE PLUME PEELS SOUTH OF THIS AREA...AND WITH OUR SURFACE LOW
STILL GETTING IT/S ACT TOGETHER...EXPECT QPF WON/T BE ALL THAT
IMPRESSIVE.  SO...EXPECT 1-4" OVERNIGHT...WITH A LITTLE MORE ON
SATURDAY HERE.  FOR THE M-68 CORRIDOR...WE/LL SEE THE MAX WARM NOSE
TEMP REACH 1-2C...WHICH WILL INTRODUCE SOME SLEET AND POTENTIALLY A
LITTLE FREEZING RAIN AFTER MIDNIGHT.  ICING SHOULD BE NO MORE THAN A
COATING WITH IT/S IMPACT MITIGATED BY 1-2" OF SNOW.

TOUGHEST LOCATION WILL BE TO THE SOUTH OF THIS.  WARM NOSE IS
STRONGER...BUT STILL ONLY 2-3C...JUST ENOUGH TO ALLOW FOR COMPLETE
MELTING.  BUT...AS PRECIPITATION ARRIVES...THERE WILL LIKELY BE A
PERIOD WHERE SNOW/SLEET CAN MAKE IT TO THE GROUND BEFORE TEMPS ALOFT
WARM.  THIS WILL BE MOST LIKELY FURTHER NORTH AND OVER INTERIOR
SPOTS...WHERE A QUICK INCH OF SNOW COULD FALL.  AFTER THIS...EXPECT
SLEET/FREEZING RAIN TO ARRIVE WITH A QUICK TRANSITION TO RAIN ALONG
THE COASTS.  GIVEN AFTERNOON TEMPERATURE TRENDS...A FEW COASTAL
SPOTS MAY EVEN GO RIGHT TO PLAIN RAIN.  FURTHER INLAND...THE ICING
LOOKS TO BE MORE SIGNIFICANT WITH COLDER SURFACE TEMPERATURES.
ICING LOOKS WORST ON ROADWAYS/BRIDGES/OVERPASSES...WITH TREES/POWER
LINES LIKELY WARMING UP MUCH FASTER...NOT ALLOWING FOR SIGNIFICANT
ICING.  AT THIS TIME...COULD SEE UP TO TWO TENTHS OF AN INCH OF ICE
ON ROADS IN SOME OF THE COLDEST INTERIOR SPOTS /THAT STRUGGLE TO
CHANGE TO RAIN ALL NIGHT/...WITH UP TO ONE TENTH ELSEWHERE.

ALL THIS BOILS DOWN TO SOME HAZARDOUS TRAVEL FOR MOST LOCATIONS.
EVEN THE WARMER COASTAL LOCALES HAVE BEEN COLD OF LATE WITH MARGINAL
ROAD TEMPERATURES SUGGESTING SOME SLICK TRAVEL POTENTIAL.  HAVE
ISSUED A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR ALL LOCATIONS...STARTING/ENDING
A LITTLE LATER OVER EASTERN UPPER.  WARNING LEVEL AMOUNTS OF
ICE/SNOW ARE NOT EXPECTED.

TEMPERATURES /CONFIDENCE HIGH/: UNDER STRONG WARM ADVECTION...
TEMPERATURES WILL GRADUALLY MOVE UP OVERNIGHT. THEY WILL STRUGGLE TO
REACH ABOVE THE FREEZING MARK OVER INTERIOR NORTHERN LOWER UNTIL
AFTER 12-3 AM...WITH TEMPS REMAINING BELOW FREEZING OVER EASTERN UPPER
THROUGH THE PERIOD.

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 405 PM EST FRI JAN 10 2014

OVERVIEW: A MUCH MORE PROGRESSIVE FLOW ACROSS THE PACIFIC AND
THROUGH NORTH AMERICA TODAY AS EAST PACIFIC RIDGING HAS RELAXED AND
CLOSE UPPER LOW/CORE OF COLDEST AIR HAS RETRACTED BACK TOWARD THE
POLE. A COUPLE SHORT WAVES EMBEDDED WITHIN THE LARGER SCALE FLOW
MOVING THROUGH/INTO NOAM. FIRST MOST PRESSING SYSTEM ADVANCING
THROUGH THE CENTRAL CONUS WITH A VIGOROUS SYSTEM SPINNING UP OVER
THE CENTRAL AND SRN PLAINS...WHICH WILL OF COURSE IMPACT US OVER THE
NEXT 24-36 HOURS. NEXT SYSTEM NOW WORKING THROUGH THE GULF OF ALASKA
AND EXPECTED TO COME ASHORE IN THE PACIFIC NW SATURDAY...AND
ULTIMATELY HAVE AN IMPACT IN THE GREAT LAKES EARLY NEXT WEEK. LARGER
SCALE RIDGING IS FORECAST TO REBUILD OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC THIS
WEEKEND WHICH WILL HELP DUMP A COUPLE ROUNDS OF COLDER AIR INTO THE
NRN PLAINS AND GREAT LAKES NEXT WEEK. NOT NEARLY AS COLD AS OUR LAST
OUTBREAK...WITH TEMPS DROPPING TO 5 TO 10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL...AS
OPPOSED TO 20 TO 30 DEGREES.

NEARER TERM...LEAD SHORT WAVE TROUGH WORKS THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES
EARLY THIS WEEKEND BRINGING SOME HIGHER IMPACT WEATHER TO THE REGION
(SEE SHORT TERM DISCUSSION). A BRIEF BREAK FOR THE LATTER HALF OF
THE WEEKEND. BUT NEXT SYSTEM SLIPS INTO THE REGION LATE SUNDAY GOING
INTO MONDAY. HOWEVER...WARMER AIR ACROSS THE CONUS WILL CONTINUE TO
BRING P-TYPE ISSUES TO NRN MICHIGAN THROUGH EARLY MONDAY BEFORE
COLDER AIR CAN MAKE A RETURN.

SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT...MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE AND STRONGEST
UPWARD FORCING SWINGS UP THROUGH THE REGION SATURDAY MORNING WHILE
WARM CONVEYOR PRECIP GETS PINCHED OFF TO THE EAST RATHER QUICKLY.
PRONOUNCED MID LEVEL DRY SLOT (ALREADY EVIDENT UPSTREAM WEDGING UP
THROUGH KANSAS BEHIND THE DEVELOPING COLD FRONT) EXPECTED TO SLIDE
UP THROUGH LOWER MICHIGAN DURING THE MORNING HOURS ALTHOUGH SOME
FORECAST UNCERTAINTY OVER JUST WHERE IT ENDS UP (NAM HAS THE DRY
SLOT PUNCHING UP THROUGH THE WESTERN PART OF THE CWA). REGARDLESS...
I DO EXPECT A SUBSTANTIAL DECREASE IN PRECIP INTENSITY BY SATURDAY
MORNING AS WARM CONVEYOR PRECIP GETS SHOVED EAST. BEHIND THE
WAVE/SFC LOW...DEFORMATION (WRAP AROUND) PRECIP WILL SLIDE UP
THROUGH THE REGION THROUGH THE COURSE OF THE DAY BEFORE THINGS DRY
OUT SATURDAY EVENING. WINDS SHIFTING NW BEHIND THE FRONT AND SOME
MODEST MOISTURE/OVER WATER INSTABILITY MAY LEAD TO SOME LIGHT LAKE
EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS OVER THE SNOW BELTS. BUT AGAIN...NOTHING BIG
ANTICIPATED. PRECIP TYPE...STILL ENOUGH ELEVATED WARM LAYER AROUND
SATURDAY MORNING TO KEEP SOME RAIN OR RAIN/SNOW MIX EARLY SATURDAY
MORNING. BUT COLDER AIR COLLAPSES BACK INTO THE REGION BY LATE
MORNING AND AFTERNOON AND WILL CHANGE REMAINING PRECIP TO SNOW...
EVEN AS SFC TEMPS HOVER AROUND THE FREEZING MARK. SOME LIGHT
ACCUMULATIONS ACROSS EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN...MINOR IF ACCUMULATIONS
OVER NRN LOWER MICHIGAN.

SUNDAY...SHOULD GET A NICE BREAK IN THE ACTION AS SFC AND UPPER
LEVEL RIDGING SLIDES ACROSS THE REGION ALONG WITH ANOTHER PUSH OF
SOME WARMER AIR PUSHING EASTWARD OUT OF THE PLAINS AND INTO THE
GREAT LAKES. DRIER AND WARMER AIR SHOULD LEAD TO OVERALL DRY
CONDITIONS FOR SUNDAY (NO LAKE EFFECT) AND LIKELY SOME SUNSHINE AS
TEMPS WARM TO THE LOWER 30S.

SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...NEXT IN THE SERIES OF PACIFIC SHORT
WAVES DIGS INTO THE PLAINS ON SUNDAY BEFORE DIPPING INTO THE GREAT
LAKES LATER MONDAY INTO TUESDAY...WITH A RENEWED PUSH OF COLDER AIR
DROPPING INTO THE REGION. ASSOCIATED SFC LOW SKIRTS THROUGH
SOUTH-CENTRAL CANADA AND THROUGH ONTARIO ON SUNDAY DRAGGING A COLD
FRONT ALONG THAT WILL CROSS THE AREA EARLY MONDAY. NOT A BIG WEATHER
MAKER FOR US REMOVED FROM ANY DEEP INFLOW OF MOISTURE WHILE
STRONGEST FORCING RESIDES TO OUR NORTH. BUT INTERESTINGLY...GUIDANCE
DOES DEVELOP A THIN CORRIDOR OF PRECIP SUNDAY NIGHT AHEAD OF THE
FRONT AND ALONG THE UPPER JET CORE GRADIENT STRETCHING UP THROUGH
THE STRAITS/EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN. ALMOST F-GEN LOOKING IN NATURE.
THIN CORRIDOR OF MOISTURE/LIGHT PRECIP THEN SLIPS DOWN THROUGH THE
REGION THROUGH MONDAY MORNING WITH THE FRONT BRINGING SOME LOWER
PRECIP CHANCES. P-TYPE IS ANOTHER ISSUE HOWEVER...AS SUBTLE THERMAL
AXIS AND H8 TEMPS RUNNING A FEW DEGREES ABOVE 0C SLIPS INTO THE AREA
AHEAD OF THE FRONT...SUGGESTING THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME MIXY LIGHT
PRECIP. HAVE JUST LIGHT SNOW IN THE FORECAST FOR NOW...BUT MAY
ULTIMATELY HAVE TO ADD SOME MIXED PRECIP TO THE FORECAST.

TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY (EXTENDED PERIODS)...ANOTHER BRIEF BREAK IN
THE WEATHER FOR LATER MONDAY NIGHT...BEFORE BUILDING EASTERN PACIFIC
RIDGING SENDS A COUPLE MORE CORES OF COLDER AIR DOWN INTO THE NRN
PLAINS AND GREAT LAKES FOR TUESDAY THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK.
AGAIN...NOWHERE NEAR AS COLD AS A FEW DAYS AGO...BUT TEMPS DROPPING
BACK INTO THE TEENS TO 20S WILL BE COMMON. WEATHER-WISE...TUESDAY
INTO WEDNESDAY LOOKS A BIT ACTIVE AS MID LEVEL TROUGH DIGS INTO THE
GREAT LAKES NO DOUBT BRINGING SOME SNOW TO THE REGION...ALONG WITH
SOME LAKE EFFECT SNOWS AS WELL (ALTHOUGH ICE COVERAGE ON THE LAKES
HAS INCREASED DRAMATICALLY OVER THE LAST WEEK OR SO). MAYBE A BREAK
FOR MUCH OF WEDNESDAY. BUT ANOTHER WAVE AND STRONG SFC LOW SLATED TO
DIG INTO GREAT LAKES LATE WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY BRINGING
ANOTHER ROUND OF SNOW TO THE REGION...FOLLOWED BY LAKE SNOWS AND A
BIT COLDER HEADING INTO FRIDAY.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SATURDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1015 PM EST FRI JAN 10 2014

IFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THRU THE 24 HR TAF FORECAST PERIOD AT
ALL TAF SITES AS WIDESPREAD MIXED PRECIP AND FOG IMPACT ALL OF NRN
LWR MICHIGAN AS DEEP MOISTURE SURGES NORTHWARD AHEAD OF A COLD
FRONT. THE FRONT WILL SWING THRU THE REGION ON SATURDAY...CHANGING
PRECIP BACK OVER TO ALL SNOW DURING SATURDAY MORNING. LLWS WILL
ALSO BE AN ISSUE THRU TONIGHT AND INTO EARLY SATURDAY AHEAD OF
THIS COLD FRONT. SE SURFACE WINDS AOB 10 KTS WILL SHIFT TO THE
SOUTH OVERNIGHT AND EVENTUALLY TO THE WEST ON SATURDAY BEHIND THE
COLD FRONT.

.MARINE...
ISSUED AT 405 PM EST FRI JAN 10 2014

SUMMARY: LOW PRESSURE OVER THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WILL TREK
NORTHEAST INTO THE GREAT LAKES REGION TONIGHT AND THEN NORTHEAST
INTO CANADA ON SATURDAY.  A WEAK RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN
IN CONTROL OF OUR WEATHER FOR SUNDAY BEFORE A COLD FRONT PUSHES INTO
THE REGION ON MONDAY.

HEADLINES: NEXT ROUND OF SMALL CRAFTS WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED UNDER
WESTERLY FLOW LATE SATURDAY/SATURDAY NIGHT AS LOW PRESSURE DEPARTS
FROM THE REGION.  ADDITIONAL SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED
AHEAD OF THE NEXT APPROACHING COLD FRONT LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY.
