AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI
330 AM EDT THU SEP 4 2014

LATEST UPDATE...
SYNOPSIS/SHORT TERM/LONG TERM/HYDRO/MARINE

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 330 AM EDT THU SEP 4 2014

AN ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN IS TAKING SHAPE FROM TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY
EVENING. A WARM FRONT WILL BRING CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS
ESPECIALLY THIS MORNING. ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE EXPECTED
TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. THE RAIN SHOULD END FROM NORTH TO SOUTH
ACROSS SOUTHWEST LOWER MICHIGAN FRIDAY NIGHT AS A COLD FRONT DROPS
SOUTH THROUGH THE REGION. LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN IS A DISTINCT
POSSIBILITY. IT SHOULD BECOME QUITE WARM THIS AFTERNOON WITH
READINGS RISING INTO THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 80S IN MANY LOCATIONS. A
COOLER WEEKEND IS ANTICIPATED BEHIND THE COLD FRONT WITH HIGHS IN
THE LOWER 70S.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 330 AM EDT THU SEP 4 2014

AREAL EXTENT AND TIMING OF THUNDERSTORMS IS THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE
WITH THE FORECAST THIS MORNING. SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE CURRENTLY
DEVELOPING TO OUR WEST IN A ZONE OF SOLID MOISTURE ADVECTION AT
850MB/S. THIS PUSH OF MOISTURE SURGES INTO THE AREA THIS MORNING AND
WILL BRING THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS TO ALL AREAS. A BIT OF A
LULL IS EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON AS WE BREAK INTO THE WARM SECTOR OF
THE SYSTEM. AT LEAST PARTIAL CLEARING SHOULD ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO
PUSH WELL INTO THE 80S. GIVEN THE TIMING OF THE STORMS NOT EXPECTING
SEVERE WEATHER THIS MORNING.

THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BECOME FAIRLY NUMEROUS AGAIN TONIGHT AS ANOTHER
SURGE OF MOISTURE ADVECTS INTO SOUTHWEST LOWER MICHIGAN. GIVEN
OVERNIGHT TIMING AGAIN...WE ARE NOT EXPECTING SEVERE WEATHER BUT IT
IS NOT OUT OF THE REALM OF POSSIBILITIES. IN FACT WE ARE ON THE
EASTERN EDGE OF A SLIGHT RISK AREA THAT CROSSES MASON INTO OCEANA
COUNTY. WIND AND HAIL WOULD BE THE MAIN THREATS.

FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT...THE COLD FRONT PROGRESSES SOUTH THROUGH
THE AREA. THE LLJ PEELS AWAY TO THE EAST FRIDAY...BUT WE COULD BE
LOOKING AT STRONG DESTABILIZATION IN THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE
FORECAST AREA. THE INSTABILITY ALONE MAY BE ENOUGH TO GENERATE SOME
SCATTERED SEVERE WEATHER. FEEL THE FRONT WILL AID IN FOCUSING STORMS
AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AS WELL. THE RAIN SHOULD GRADUALLY TAPER
OFF FRIDAY EVENING FROM NORTH TO SOUTH.

SATURDAY WILL BE A MAINLY SUNNY AND DRY DAY WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER
70S.

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 330 AM EDT THU SEP 4 2014

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN TO BRING FAIR WEATHER WITH SEASONABLE
TEMPERATURES THIS WEEKEND WITH MAX TEMPS RANGING FROM THE UPPER 60S
TO MIDDLE 70S AND MIN TEMPS IN THE 40S TO LOWER 50S.

SOME CLOUDS WILL BEGIN TO MOVE IN MONDAY AS SOUTHERLY FLOW DEVELOPS
AND RESULTS IN GRADUALLY INCREASING MOISTURE ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE
DEPARTING HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE. DRY WEATHER WILL CONTINUE MONDAY
THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT.

DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE AND A WARM FRONT WILL BRING POTENTIAL FOR
RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS AS EARLY AS TUESDAY WITH A LITTLE BETTER
CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 1225 AM EDT THU SEP 4 2014

MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD CONTINUE OVERNIGHT BUT THERE IS
POTENTIAL FOR A BRIEF PERIOD OF MVFR MAINLY AT KMKG WHERE SOME
SHOWERS AND PERHAPS A FEW STORMS COULD ROLL IN AFTER DAYBREAK.

THIS AREA OF SHOWERS AND A FEW STORMS WILL MOST LIKELY DISSIPATE BY
MID TO LATE MORNING WITH FAIR WEATHER AND VFR CONDITIONS TO FOLLOW
AT ALL THE TERMINALS THIS AFTERNOON. SOUTH WINDS WILL RAMP UP TO 15
TO 20 KTS WITH GUSTS TO 25 KTS BY MIDDAY.

VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD CONTINUE THIS EVENING AND THERE IS POTENTIAL
FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS TO DEVELOP DURING THE LATE EVENING
HOURS AT KMKG AND KGRR OUT AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT.

&&

.MARINE...
ISSUED AT 330 AM EDT THU SEP 4 2014

HAVE BOTH A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY AND A BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT IN
EFFECT FROM NOW THROUGH FRIDAY MID MORNING. STIFF SOUTH WINDS ARE
ALREADY DEVELOPING WITH 4 FOOT WAVES ALREADY SHOWING UP AT LUDINGTON
THIS MORNING. EXPECTATION IS 3 TO 6 FOOT WAVES SHOULD BE COMMON
NORTH OF HOLLAND MUCH OF TODAY AND TONIGHT. THE HIGHEST WAVES WILL
BE FOUND UP TOWARDS BIG AND LITTLE SABLE POINTS. SOUTH SIDES OF
SOUTH PIERS WILL BE DANGEROUS PLACES TO SWIM TODAY...LIKE AT PERE
MARQUETTE PARK IN MUSKEGON AND GRAND HAVEN STATE PARK. WAVES SHOULD
BE JUST BELOW CRITERIA IN THE SOUTHERN TWO ZONES...ALTHOUGH THE WIND
MAY FLIRT WITH SCA CRITERIA.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 330 AM EDT THU SEP 4 2014

PERIODS OF THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED FROM THIS MORNING THROUGH
FRIDAY EVENING. PWAT VALUES RISE INTO THE 1.50 TO 2.00 INCH RANGE AS
SOUTHERLY FLOW STREAMS IN DEEP MOISTURE. THE DEEPEST MOISTURE LOOKS
TO BE IN PLACE THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY WHICH IS WHEN THE
HEAVIEST RAINS WILL LIKELY FALL. RIVER LEVELS REMAIN WELL WITHIN
BANK THOUGH...SO RIVER FLOODING IS NOT REALLY ANTICIPATED. SWATHS OF
1 TO 2 INCH RAINFALLS REMAIN A POSSIBILITY...ESPECIALLY ACROSS
CENTRAL LOWER MICHIGAN AND POTENTIALLY ALONG I94. EVEN WITH THESE
TOTALS WE ARE PROBABLY NOT LOOKING AT MUCH MORE THAN SOLID WITHIN
BANK RISES. REGARDING LOCALIZED AREAL FLOODING FROM THE STORMS
THEMSELVES...THIS REMAINS A POSSIBILITY AS WELL GIVEN THE DEEP
MOISTURE IN PLACE.
