AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
350 AM EST THU DEC 10 2015

.NEAR TERM...(TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 350 AM EST THU DEC 10 2015

...UNSETTLED BUT VERY MILD WEATHER CONTINUES...

HIGH IMPACT WEATHER POTENTIAL: NONE.

OVERVIEW: SOMEWHAT ZONAL FLOW PATTERN REMAINS IN PLACE ACROSS THE
CONUS WITH A VERY STRONG PACIFIC JET PLOWING INTO THE CALIFORNIA
COAST...WHILE THE TRUE COLD AIR REMAINS BOTTLED UP OVER THE ARCTIC.
SEVERAL WAVES EMBEDDED WITHIN THE FLOW ACROSS THE CONUS WITH ONE
SHORT WAVE PUSHING INTO NEW ENGLAND...ANOTHER SYSTEM IN THE NRN
PLAINS...AND A STRONG WAVE PUSHING INTO THE PAC NW. ACROSS NRN
MICHIGAN...WE WERE IN BETWEEN SYSTEMS EARLIER IN THE NIGHT. BUT
MID LEVEL WARM ADVECTION FORCING AND SOME ELEVATED PRECIP HAS
BEEN TRYING TO EXPAND INTO THE NRN HALF OF THE CWA FOR MUCH OF THE
NIGHT. RADAR RETURNS ACROSS EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN LOOK MORE
OMINOUS THAN REALITY AS ONLY A FEW SPOTS HAVE ACTUALLY REPORTED
SOME RAIN...THANKS TO A WEDGE OF DRY AIR IN THE LOWER LEVELS STILL
HANGING ON ACROSS NRN MICHIGAN.

TODAY...FIRST OFF...THE STRATUS. ONCE AGAIN LOW LEVEL MODEL RH
FORECASTS AND FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW SW-NE LOW LEVEL DRYING
THIS MORNING...SUGGESTING WE WILL LOSE THE STRATUS. AND THUS
FAR...THIS APPEARS TO BE PLAYING OUT. HOWEVER...ABUNDANT MID AND
HIGH CLOUD HAS TAKEN IT/S PLACE AND WILL LEAD TO CLOUDY SKIES
OVERALL THIS MORNING.

MEANWHILE...WING OF WARM ADVECTION FORCING WILL SLIDE THROUGH THE
REGION THIS MORNING AND CONTINUE TO BRING SOME LOW END CHANCES
FOR LIGHT RAIN...MAINLY TO THE NRN HALF OF THE CWA. BUT THINGS
WILL IMPROVE SUBSTANTIALLY THIS AFTERNOON AS STRONG S/SW FLOW
REALLY KICKS IN PULLING WARMER/DRIER AIR UP INTO THE REGION. AND
WITH THE STRATUS GONE AND GUSTY S/SW WINDS...THIS AFTERNOON
REALLY HAS A CHANCE OF PUSHING RECORD TEMPS FOR SOME SPOTS
ESPECIALLY IF WE SEE SOME SUNSHINE. HERE IS A LOOK AT RECORD HIGH
TEMPS FOR TODAY:

TRAVERSE CITY.......54 1971
ALPENA..............56 1971
HOUGHTON LAKE.......55 1971
SAULT SAINT MARIE...47 1911
GAYLORD.............46 2001

TONIGHT...UPSTREAM SHORT WAVE IN THE PLAINS WILL SLIP THROUGH THE
WESTERN GREAT LAKES...ATTENDING SFC LOW TRACKS THROUGH LAKE
SUPERIOR THIS EVENING AND INTO ONTARIO BY FRIDAY MORNING. A DECENT
SYSTEM OVERALL...ALTHOUGH IT/S A BIT MOISTURE STARVED AND THE CORE
OF STRONG FORCING/QG-ASCENT IS FORECAST TO SLIDE ACROSS THE UPPER
MICHIGAN/LAKE SUPERIOR REGION CLOSE TO THE SFC LOW TRACK. THAT/S
WHERE I/LL KEEP HIGHEST RAIN CHANCES GOING FOR TONIGHT WITH POPS
REALLY TAPERING OFF AS YOU GO SOUTH.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 350 AM EST THU DEC 10 2015

HIGH IMPACT WEATHER...NONE EXPECTED.

...CONTINUED UNSEASONABLY MILD WITH LOW END SHOWER CHANCES...

PROGRESSIVE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN CONTINUES WITH ANOTHER SHORT WAVE OR
TWO TO DEAL WITH. THE MAIN SHORT TERM FORECAST CONCERNS REVOLVE
AROUND PRECIPITATION CHANCES.

FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT...JUST A CHANCE FOR A FEW LINGERING RAIN
SHOWERS ACROSS EASTERN UPPER IN THE MORNING FROM THE DEPARTING
SHORTWAVE. OTHERWISE...NOT A WHOLE LOT GOING ON. IT REMAINS A TOUGH
CALL ON CLOUD COVER BUT GENERALLY SPEAKING EXPECT CLOUDS TO HANG ON
FOR THE MOST PART WITH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE LIKELY NOT SCOURING OUT
VERY MUCH IF AT ALL.

SATURDAY...WARMER AIR OVERRUNNING COOLER LOW LEVEL AIR MAY PRODUCE A
FEW LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS (ESPECIALLY SOUTH) BUT CHANCES ARE MOST SPOTS
WILL REMAIN DRY.

RAIN WILL BEGIN TO OVERSPREAD THE REGION FROM THE SOUTHWEST SATURDAY
NIGHT AS LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES FROM THE PLAINS (SEE BELOW).

HATE TO SOUND LIKE A BROKEN RECORD (IF ANYONE STILL KNOWS WHAT THAT
MEANS) BUT TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN WELL ABOVE NORMAL WITH HIGHS IN
THE 40S AND LOWS IN THE 30S.

&&

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 350 AM EST THU DEC 10 2015

...STRONG AREA OF LOW PRESSURE TO BRING LOTS OF RAIN...

LOW PRESSURE EMERGING OUT OF THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES SATURDAY WILL
TRACK ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS SUNDAY WHILE DEEPENING...THEN ACROSS
FAR NORTHERN MICHIGAN MONDAY. UNSEASONABLY MILD AIR OUT AHEAD OF
THIS SYSTEM COMBINED WITH A GULF OF MEXICO TAP RESULTS IN RAIN
SATURDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY MONDAY (PERHAPS ON THE ORDER OF 1 TO 2
INCHES). COLDER AIR WRAPPING IN ON THE BACKSIDE OF THIS LOW WILL MIX
WITH OR END PRECIPITATION AS SNOW SHOWERS. IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT
THE MOISTURE/COLD AIR WILL LINE UP TO BRING MUCH SNOW ACCUMULATION.
PERHAPS A FEW LINGERING RAIN OR SNOW SHOWERS MONDAY NIGHT INTO
TUESDAY. WEAKENING LOW PRESSURE TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY PASSING
BY TO THE NORTHWEST MAY BRING MAINLY SNOW SHOWERS TO THE REGION.
OVERALL IT LOOKS LIKE A MORE SEASONABLE PATTERN NEXT WEEK...WITH
ARCTIC AIR REMAINING LOCKED UP WELL NORTH OF THE AREA THROUGH THE
MIDDLE OF THE WEEK...THOUGH THERE ARE HINTS OF SOME MODIFIED ARCTIC
AIR ARRIVING LATE NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY NIGHT)
