BAY INTO THE MIDDLE OF LAKE HURON TODAY AS FUNNELING ENHANCES THE

THE PRESSURE GRADIENT THEN WEAKENS AS THE LOW PRESSURE LIFTS TO 
HUDSON BAY AND FILLS...SO ADDITIONAL GALES ARE NOT EXPECTED FROM 
SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. EVEN WEAKER FLOW IS THEN EXPECTED INTO THE 
MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE AREA.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI
108 PM EST WED FEB 19 2014

.AVIATION...

//DISCUSSION...

THE FLURRY OF LIGHT SNOW THAT IMPACTED AREA TERMINALS PRIOR TO
NOON IS NOW EAST OF SOUTHEASTERN MICHIGAN. SUBSIDENCE IS OCCURRING
IN AND BEHIND THE PRECIPITATION WHICH HAS LED TO A RAPID LOSS IN SKY
FRACTION. EXPECT CLEAR SKIES NOW FOR THE DURATION OF THE
AFTERNOON. STRONG SURFACE AND MIDLEVEL RIDGING WILL BUILD ACROSS
LOWER MICHIGAN THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. A WALL OF MOISTURE WILL
COLLECT ALONG THE BACKSIDE OF THE HIGH PRESSURE...TAKING SHAPE AS
A DEVELOPING WARM FRONT. THIS MOISTURE WILL BRING A PERIOD OF
MIXED BAG WINTER WEATHER TO SOUTHEASTERN MICHIGAN WITH AN ONSET
DURING THE LATE MORNING. UNCERTAINTY EXISTS WITH REGARDS TO PTYPE
AND DURATION...BUT HAVE INCLUDED A INTRODUCTORY MENTION. ANY
PERIOD OF DENSE FOG IS EXPECTED TO WAIT UNTIL LATE THURSDAY AFTERNOON
OR THURSDAY EVENING AS THE NEAR SURFACE WARM FRONT BEGRUDGINGLY
IS FORCED NORTHWARD.

//DTW THRESHOLD THREATS...

* LOW CONFIDENCE IN CEILINGS BELOW 5000 FT THIS MORNING.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...ISSUED 348 AM EST WED FEB 19 2014

SHORT TERM...TODAY AND TONIGHT

LOW AMPLITUDE WAVE WILL MAKE STEADY PROGRESS THROUGH SE MICHIGAN
THIS MORNING.  A CLEAR LACK OF MOISTURE IS EVIDENT FROM UPSTREAM 00Z
UPPER AIR DATA AND THE VIRTUALLY NON-EXISTENT STRATUS DEVELOPMENT
ALONG OR IN ADVANCE OF THE ATTENDANT FRONTAL STRUCTURE.  00Z MODEL
GUIDANCE CARRYING A STRONG LOW LEVEL WET BIAS RELATIVE TO RECENT
OBSERVATIONS...LIKELY ATTRIBUTED TO AN OVERZEALOUS NEAR SURFACE
MOISTURE FLUX OFF THE MELTING SNOWPACK.  THIS MOISTURE PROFILE WILL
LIMIT THE PROSPECTS FOR VERY LIGHT PRECIPITATION PRODUCTION AS A
SLIGHTLY STRENGTHENING 925-850MB FRONTAL STRUCTURE SHIFTS THROUGH
LATE THIS MORNING. AT MOST LOOKING AT A BRIEF PERIOD OF FLURRIES.

SOLID PRE-FRONTAL EARLY MORNING WARMING /TEMPERATURES CURRENTLY
LOWER 40S IN SOME LOCALES/ WILL BE MET WITH A PERIOD OF COLD AIR
ADVECTION THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE DAY. PROGRESSIVE CLEARING
INTO THE AFTERNOON AS THE ADVECTIVE TURNS NEUTRAL WILL ALLOW
TEMPERATURES TO RESPOND LATE. HIGHS 35 TO 40F RANGE. A PERIOD OF
OPEN SKY COINCIDENT WITH FAVORABLE POSITIONING OF TRANSIENT
SURFACE RIDGING WILL ESTABLISH A WINDOW OF GOOD RADIATIONAL
COOLING EARLY TONIGHT. HIGHER GEOPOTENTIAL HEIGHTS WILL THEN FILL
ACROSS SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN IN RESPONSE TO THE SIZABLE CORRIDOR OF
HEIGHT FALLS SHIFTING EAST OF THE ROCKIES. THE LOW LEVEL THERMAL
PROFILE WILL MODERATE ACCORDINGLY, ALTHOUGH THE GREATER ENSUING
WARM AIR ADVECTION WILL HOLD OFF UNTIL THURSDAY. THIS EVOLUTION
WILL ALLOW LOWS TO BOTTOM OUT IN THE UPPER TEENS/LOWER 20S, BEFORE
LEVELING OFF/INCREASING EARLY THURSDAY MORNING.

LONG TERM...

COPIOUS AMOUNT OF UPPER LEVEL ENERGY NOW TRACKING THROUGH THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST...WITH PV CONSOLIDATION AT THE BASE OF THE TROUGH
OVER THE FOUR CORNERS/SOUTHERN PLAINS THURSDAY MORNING. THE TAPPING
OF PACIFIC AND GULF OF MEXICO MOISTURE WILL LEAD TO EXPLOSIVE
DEVELOPMENT...AS SURFACE LOW COMES CLOSE TO A NEAR BOMB (-23 MB IN
24 HOURS) IN THE DEEPENING PROCESS...AS IT TRACKS NORTH THROUGH THE
WESTERN GREAT LAKES THURSDAY NIGHT. WE ARE LOOKING AT JUST ABOUT
EVERY WEATHER ELEMENT DURING THE THURSDAY-FRIDAY TIMEFRAME ACROSS
SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN. FIRST OFF...THERE NOW LOOKS TO BE MORE OF A
SUBSTANTIAL SURFACE HIGH IN PLACE OVER THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES TO
START THURSDAY. THE CENTER OF THE MAIN HIGH IS STILL OVER THE MID
ATLANTIC STATES...BUT A SECONDARY CENTER/PRONOUNCED
EXTENSION/RIDGING IS ADVERTISED. AS THE BAROCLINIC ZONE TIGHTENS UP
WITH THE WARM FRONT APPROACHING ON THURSDAY...LOW LEVEL EASTERLY
FLOW COMING OFF THE FROZEN LAKE HURON WILL BE RELUCTANT TO BUDGE
DURING THE DAY...AND IT DOES APPEAR WE WILL START OUT AS SNOW WITH
GOOD WET BULB COOLING TAKING PLACE...CHANGING TO BRIEF WINTRY MIX TO
FREEZING RAIN NORTH OF I-69...AS WARM FRONT MAY STILL NOT ADVANCE
INTO THE STATE BY 21Z (PER NAM). THE 00Z UKMET IS COLDER...SIMILAR
TO THE NAM...AND A QUICK 1-2 INCHES OF SNOW SNOW NORTH OF I-69 SEEMS
REASONABLE BEFORE CHANGEOVER TO FREEZING RAIN OCCURS. REGIONAL GEM
IS MUCH MORE AGGRESSIVE...AND THERE IS NOT MUCH QUESTION THE WARM AIR
WILL OVERWHELM THE STAGNANT/SHALLOW LEFTOVER COLD AIR AT THE SURFACE.
SUFFICIENT WARM LAYER/DROPS (850 MB TEMPS RISING INTO UPPER SINGLE
NUMBERS) EXPECTED TO PRODUCE JUST COLD RAIN SOUTH OF M-59 DURING THE
AFTERNOON HOURS. AS HIGHER DEW POINTS AND WARM FRONT LIFT INTO THE
AREA...FOG WILL BE AN ISSUE...LIKELY DENSE IN SPOTS...INTO THE
EVENING HOURS. 70 KNOT JET AT 850 MB WILL TRANSPORT ABUNDANT
MOISTURE INTO THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES...AND INSTABILITY APPEARS
WORTHY OF CARRYING SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS...AS K INDICES PUSH INTO
THE MID 30S (C). HAIL WILL BE LIKELY AS FREEZING LEVELS LIFT AT OR
JUST ABOVE 9000 FEET WITH 850 MB COMPUTED CAPES AT OR ABOVE 500
J/KG.

HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY OCCUR TOWARD MIDNIGHT...AS SOUTHEAST
MICHIGAN SHOULD REACH SOLIDLY INTO THE 40S...EVEN WITH THE SYSTEM
TENDING TO OCCLUDE. WITH THE SNOW MELT...AND CONVECTIVE RAIN
POTENTIALLY PUSHING RAINFALL TOTALS TO 1 INCH...FLOOD CONCERNS
REMAIN. WITH THE LOW NEARLY BOMBING OUT...HIGH WINDS (45+ MPH) ALSO
APPEAR LIKELY. THE STRONGER SOLUTION RESULTS IN A FASTER COLD
FRONT/OCCLUSION WORKING TROUGH...WITH THE STELLAR SUBSIDENCE...30 MB
RISE/FALL PRESSURE COUPLET MOVING THROUGH 6-9Z FRIDAY. IT IS ALSO
POSSIBLE THE ACTUAL COLD FRONT MAY CONTAIN SEVERE LINE OF STORMS
(TAPPING INTO THE VERY STRONG LOW LEVEL JET)...WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE
OF THE LINE REACHING JUST PAST THE SOUTHERN MICHIGAN BORDER (SEE SPC
DAY 2 OUTLOOK)

EVEN AFTER THIS INITIAL WIND POP...INCREASING BOUNDARY LAYER MIXING
ON FRIDAY WITH AGGRESSIVE COLD ADVECTION WILL LIKELY PRODUCE
ADDITIONAL GUSTS OF 45+ MPH DURING THE DAYTIME HOURS. STEEP LOW
LEVEL LAPSE RATES...MODEST CAPE INTERSECTING DENDRITIC SNOW GROWTH
ZONE COULD ALSO PRODUCE SOME NARROW/AGGRESSIVE SNOW SQUALLS...MAINLY
NORTH OF M-59...WHERE BETTER MOISTURE/GREATEST PUSH OF COLD
ADVECTION WILL RESIDE DURING THE DAY.

MARINE...

MODEST WINDS WILL EXIST ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THURSDAY.  A
STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS THEN EXPECTED TO TRACK THROUGH THE
WESTERN GREAT LAKES THURSDAY NIGHT.  THIS SYSTEM WILL RESULT IN A
PERIOD OF STRONG WINDS LATE THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY.  THERE IS THE
POTENTIAL FOR GALES THROUGH THIS TIME. SUBSTANTIAL ICE COVERAGE
ACROSS ALL MARINE AREAS WILL KEEP WAVES ABSENT FROM ALL FORECAST
PRODUCTS.
