AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
423 PM EST TUE NOV 24 2015

.NEAR TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 419 PM EST TUE NOV 24 2015

IMPACT WEATHER: POTENTIAL FOG AND REDUCED VISIBILITY.

SYNOPTIC PATTERN AND OBSERVATIONS:

THIS AFTERNOON...RELATIVE HIGH PRESSURE IS OVERHEAD BUT WORKING
EASTWARD...WHILE LOW PRESSURE WAS DEVELOPING OVER THE WYOMING AND
SOUTH DAKOTA BORDER. A WARM FRONT EXTENDS FROM THIS LOW...INTO THE
MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND CENTRAL INDIANA. AS FIGURED...WE ARE STILL
STUCK WITH LOWER LEVEL CLOUDS UNDER AN INVERSION ACROSS MOST OF NRN
MICHIGAN...WHILE ADDITIONAL HIGHER LEVEL MID AND HIGH CLOUDS STREAM
OVERHEAD. LOW LEVEL WARM AND DRIER ADVECTION HAS BEEN WORKING NORTH
THROUGH WISCONSIN AND NORTHEASTWARD INTO MICHIGAN OVER THE LAST
SEVERAL HOURS. THIS WAS EATING AWAY AT THE LOWER CLOUDS...CLEARING
THESE OUT AS FAR NORTH AS THE GTV BAY REGION.

SYNOPTIC PATTERN EVOLUTION AND ASSOCIATED WEATHER:

THE HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES EAST TONIGHT WHILE THE LOW PRESSURE LIFTS
THROUGH THE DAKOTAS AND INTO MN. WARM AND DRIER AIR ADVECTION
CONTINUES WORKING NORTHWARD THROUGH NRN MICHIGAN TONIGHT WHICH WILL
GRADUALLY START CLEARING SKIES OUT FROM SOUTH TO NORTH. WINDS WILL
BE LIGHT INITIALLY THIS EVENING...AND GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING BY
LATE EVENING WILL EVENTUALLY BRINGS TEMPERATURES DOWN CLOSER TO
CURRENT DEW POINTS FOR AREAS OF FOG TO DEVELOP. DO NOT THINK FOG IS
GOING TO BE WIDESPREAD...SINCE THE BETTER SCENARIO WOULD BE FOR
WARMER AND GREATER THAN 32F DEW POINTS TO ADVECT UP THIS WAY. THAT
IS NOT WHAT IS SEEN UPSTREAM ACROSS SRN LOWER. THE WET SNOWPACK MAY
BE ABLE TO ADD MOISTURE TO THE NEAR SFC AIR...BUT PROBABLY NOT TO
THE POINT OF A WIDESPREAD FOG. NOT TOO CONFIDENT IN STRATUS EITHER
IF THE FOG WILL NOT BE WIDESPREAD...AND ALSO DUE TO THE
AFOREMENTIONED DRIER AIR ADVECTION. ALL THAT SAID...ANY
PATCHY/AREAS OF FOG FOG THAT DOES DEVELOP...WILL LIKELY TEND TO
DISSIPATE THROUGH THE LATE NIGHT HOURS DUE TO A STRONG INCREASE IN
WIND JUST ABOVE THE GROUND SFC.

LOW TEMPS TONIGHT...THE MIDDLE 20S TO LOWER 30S.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 419 PM EST TUE NOV 24 2015

HIGH IMPACT WEATHER...AREAS OF LOCALLY DENSE FOG POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY
NIGHT INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. POSSIBLE SLICK ROADWAYS LATER THURSDAY
NIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY.

...DETERIORATING CONDITIONS WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY...

HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST INTO THE ATLANTIC
OCEAN WHILE LOW PRESSURE TRACKS BY TO OUR NORTHWEST WEDNESDAY. THIS
LEAVES NORTHERN MICHIGAN IN A MILDER SOUTH SOUTHWEST WIND FLOW UNDER
PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES (MOST CLOUDS NORTHWEST ZONES).
MEANWHILE...A SERIES OF WEAK LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS EMERGE OUT OF THE
ROCKIES AND TRACK NORTHEAST ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL LOWER MICHIGAN.
THIS SYSTEM WILL SPREAD LIGHT RAIN INTO THE REGION LATER WEDNESDAY
NIGHT INTO THURSDAY. IN ADDITION...THE COMBINATION OF THE RAIN AND
THE WARMER AIR MOVING OVER THE COLDER MELTING SNOWPACK COULD LEAD TO
AREAS OF LOCALLY DENSE FOG. THE LAST WAVE MOVES THROUGH LATER
THURSDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY BRINGING MODERATE RAIN.
HOWEVER...COLDER AIR WRAPPING IN FROM THE NORTHWEST MIXES THE RAIN
WITH AND LIKELY CHANGING IT OVER TO SNOW ACROSS EASTERN UPPER AND
THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF NORTHERN LOWER. COULD SEE SNOW ACCUMULATIONS
OF 1 TO 3 INCHES ACROSS EASTERN UPPER AND GENERALLY LESS THAN AN
INCH ACROSS NORTHERN LOWER WITH SOME SLICK SPOTS POSSIBLY
DEVELOPING. DRIER AIR AND STRONG SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD DRY
THE REGION OUT FRIDAY AFTERNOON. UNSEASONABLY MILD WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY WITH HIGHS RANGING FROM THE UPPER 30S NORTH TO THE MIDDLE
40S SOUTH. TEMPERATURES SHOULD HOLD NEARLY STEADY IN THE MIDDLE 30S
TO LOWER 40S FRIDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 419 PM EST TUE NOV 24 2015

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN BEHIND THE HOLIDAY COLD FRONT WILL CLEAR
THINGS OUT FOR THE WEEKEND. DESPITE SPLIT FLOW AROUND A LARGE H5
CUTOFF LOW OVER THE WEST COAST...OUR AIRMASS WILL BE MORE PACIFIC
DOMINATED AS TRULY COLD AIR REMAINS WELL NORTH. THIS WILL RESULT IN
ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES...WITH HIGH FOR MANY AREAS PUSHING 40S.
THERE ARE A COUPLE OF FEATURES TO WATCH FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE
FIRST IS A QUICK MOVING LOW PASSING THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY. THE
CURRENT TRACK WILL KEEP IT TOO OUR SOUTH. ANOTHER
STRONGER...DEEPENING LOW WILL AFFECT THE GREAT LAKES AS THE CUTOFF
LOW GETS DISLODGED FROM THE WEST COAST...MOVING THROUGH THE PLAINS
AND GREAT LAKES. TIMING OF THIS WILL CERTAINLY CHANGE IN THE COMING
DAYS...BUT THESE WILL BE THE MAIN PLAYERS FOR THIS PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1158 AM EST TUE NOV 24 2015

VFR BKN-OVC WILL GRADUALLY BREAK UP FROM SOUTH TO NORTH THROUGH
THE EVENING...UNVEILING ADDITIONAL MID AND UPPER CLOUDS. THESE AS
WELL ARE EXPECTED TO SHIFT NORTH THROUGH THE NIGHT...WITH CLEARING
BEING THE TREND THROUGH THE NIGHT. WET SNOWPACK AND EVENING LIGHT
WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO LEAD TO SOME FOG (STRATUS?)...BUT CONFIDENCE
IN DURATION OF POTENTIAL FOG AND THE VSBYS IS SOMEWHAT LOW. WINDS
JUST ABOVE THE SFC REALLY RAMP UP LATE TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY
MORNING...AND WIND SHEAR DEVELOPS. THIS WOULD ALSO LIKELY LEAD TO
THE EROSION OF ANY FOG/STRATUS.

&&

.MARINE...
ISSUED AT 419 PM EST TUE NOV 24 2015

HIGH PRESSURE EXITS EAST WHILE LOW PRESSURE IN THE DAKOTAS CROSSES
INTO ONTARIO WEDNESDAY...BEFORE EXITING THROUGH QUEBEC THURSDAY. THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS QUICKLY LATE TONIGHT WITH THE CORE OF
STRONGEST WIND AND RESULTANT LOW END GALES ACROSS LAKE MICHIGAN AND
WHITEFISH BAY WEDNESDAY/WEDNESDAY EVENING. ADVISORIES ELSEWHERE FOR
NOW. GRADIENT THEN LOOSENS UP LATER WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY
WHILE A COLD FRONT CROSSES THE REGION AND BRINGS RAIN. COLD FRONT
AND MORE RAIN (SOME SNOW WHITEFISH BAY) EXPECTED THURSDAY NIGHT WITH
POSSIBLE A TIGHT ENOUGH GRADIENT TO BRING ADVISORY LEVEL NORTHERLY
WINDS.
