AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
429 PM EDT THU APR 9 2015

.NEAR TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 429 PM EDT THU APR 9 2015

...WET NIGHT AHEAD WITH SOME THUNDERSTORMS...

HIGH IMPACT WEATHER POTENTIAL: THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT ESPECIALLY
ACROSS NORTHERN LOWER.  CAN'T RULE OUT SOME STRONGER STORMS GETTING
INTO NORTHEAST LOWER (HAIL/WIND THREAT).  FOG AHEAD OF AN
APPROACHING WARM FRONT COULD BE THICK IN SPOTS ESPECIALLY IN HIGHER
TERRAIN AND NEAR LAKE HURON.  WINDS PICKING UP LATE TONIGHT ACROSS
NORTHERN LOWER.

PATTERN SYNOPSIS/FORECAST: 18Z SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS 1000MB LOW
OVER SOUTH CENTRAL IOWA...WARM FRONT EXTENDS EAST ACROSS NORTHERN
PORTIONS OF ILLINOIS/INDIANA/OHIO.  COLD FRONT EXTENDS SOUTH ALONG
THE MISSOURI/KANSAS BORDER INTO EASTERN OKLAHOMA.  WEAKNESS IN
PRESSURE PATTERN OVER IOWA ELONGATING TO THE NORTHEAST TOWARD 2-
3MB/3H PRESSURE FALLS OVER EASTERN WISCONSIN/MICHIGAN.  WATER VAPOR
IMAGERY SHOWS MAIN SHORT WAVE TROUGH EMBEDDED WITH A DRY SLOT MOVING
INTO WESTERN IOWA...UPWARD MOTION FIELD ALONG THIS WAVE INTERACTING
WITH THE COLD FRONT STARTING TO SPIN UP A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS FROM
FAR SOUTHERN IOWA INTO WESTERN MISSOURI.  NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT IS
A BROADER AREA OF SHOWERS AND A FEW EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
WISCONSIN/MICHIGAN...WITHIN A ZONE OF WARM ADVECTION AND ENTRANCE
REGION JET FORCING COINCIDENT WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AROUND
1.00 INCH.  INSTABILITY AT EARLY AFTERNOON WAS CONFINED TO AREAS
ADJACENT TO THE WARM FRONT...WITH PLENTY OF CLOUDS/RAIN/FOG NORTH OF
THE BOUNDARY ACROSS LOWER MICHIGAN.

SHORT WAVE TROUGH MOVING INTO IOWA FINALLY ALLOWING PRESSURE FALLS
TO INCREASE OVER THE SURFACE LOW OVER SOUTHERN IOWA...SUGGESTING
THIS FEATURE SHOULD START TO DEEPEN AS IT TRACKS NORTHEAST ACROSS
SOUTHERN WISCONSIN LATER THIS EVENING...AND EVENTUALLY INTO NORTHERN
LOWER MICHIGAN BY FRIDAY MORNING.  SMALL PIECE OF THE WARM SECTOR OF
THIS CYCLONE WILL PROBABLY CLIP THE SOUTHEAST THIRD OR SO OF THE
FORECAST AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT...WITH THE TRAILING COLD FRONT LIKELY
THROUGH LOWER MICHIGAN AROUND DAYBREAK FRIDAY.

PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERNS: RAIN/THUNDERSTORMS...POTENTIAL FOR STRONG
STORMS (NOT TOTALLY DEAD YET).  WARM FRONTAL FOG EARLY...POST-COLD
FRONTAL WINDS LATE.

TONIGHT...RAIN ROUND TWO IS SPREADING ACROSS THE AREA FROM THE
SOUTHWEST AT MID AFTERNOON...AND EXPECT A THIRD ROUND LATER THIS
EVENING WITH ANTICIPATED DEVELOPMENT ALONG/NORTH OF NORTHWARD MOVING
SURFACE LOW AND ASSOCIATED WARM FRONT...AS WELL AS NORTHERN END OF
DEVELOPING SQUALL LINE WHICH WILL PROPAGATE NORTHEAST AND CAN EASILY
SEE SOME OF THIS IMPACTING AREAS ADJACENT TO SAGINAW BAY DURING THE
LATE EVENING.  WARM SECTOR AIR MASS IMPINGING UPON NORTHEAST LOWER
ALSO BRINGS NORTHERN END OF STRONGER INSTABILITY AXIS (PERHAPS UP TO
1000J/KG ELEVATED CAPE)...AND PLENTY OF AVAILABLE SHEAR WITH
UNIDIRECTIONAL WIND PROFILES AND 50+KTS 0-6KM BULK SHEAR WILL
SUPPORT UPDRAFT ROTATION.  CERTAINLY CLOSE ENOUGH TO MENTION A
THREAT FOR SEVERE STORMS (HAIL/WIND) ALONG/EAST OF A CAD-APN LINE
STARTING LATER THIS EVENING (EVEN WITH THE SPC MARGINAL RISK CONTOUR
DRAWN CYNICALLY ALONG OUR SOUTHERN FORECAST AREA BORDER...
KNOWING OUR REPUTATION AS A SEVERE WEATHER GRAVEYARD PRECEDES US).
DRY SLOTTING EXPECTED TO ARRIVE WITH COLD FRONT PASSAGE...WHICH
SHOULD ALLOW MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION TO TAPER OFF LIKELY TO
DRIZZLE GIVEN LINGERING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE LEFT BEHIND.

EXPECT WINDS TO INCREASE OVERNIGHT ACROSS LOWER MICHIGAN AS GRADIENT
TIGHTENS ALONG WITH A STRONG ISALLOBARIC PUSH AND COLD ADVECTION/
DOWNSLOPING ISENTROPIC FLOW HELPING MIX HIGHER MOMENTUM INTO THE
BOUNDARY LAYER.  WINDS GUSTING UPWARDS OF 30MPH EXPECTED ACROSS
NORTHWEST LOWER BY MORNING.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 429 PM EDT THU APR 9 2015

FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...WILL TREND COOL WITH MIXED PRECIPITATION
FRIDAY TO WARM WITH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES BY SUNDAY.

FRIDAY...THE STORM SYSTEM WHICH LIFTED INTO THE GREAT LAKES ON
THURSDAY WILL EXIT NORTHEAST INTO QUEBEC FRIDAY AFTERNOON...WHILE A
LARGE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES OVER THE PLAINS AND INTO THE
GREAT LAKES FRIDAY NIGHT. AT UPPER LEVELS...A BROAD 500MB TROUGH
CENTERED OVER THE GREAT LAKES EARLY FRIDAY WILL QUICKLY EXIT EAST
FRIDAY NIGHT...WITH 500MB HEIGHTS ALREADY INCREASING BY 12Z SATURDAY.

MODEL SOUNDINGS AND MSTR PROGS SHOW SUFFICIENT MSTR (~80 PCT
850/500MB RH) FOR AT LEAST CHANCE POPS ACRS NRN MICHIGAN TROUGH
FRIDAY NIGHT. VERTICAL TEMP PROFILES SHOW ABOVE FREEZING TEMPS FROM
THE SFC TO 4000 FT THRU 18Z...SUGGESTING AN ALL RAIN EVENT INTO
THE EVENING. HOWEVER THE FREEZING LEVEL SHRINKS QUICKLY ACRS THE
GREAT LAKES BY 00Z SAT TO UNDER 1K FT...TRANSITIONING ANY LINGERING
PCPN TO SNOW. INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH WILL BE THE SHORT PERIOD OF WHAT
COULD BE A MODERATE LAKE EFFECT ENHANCED SNOW EVENT BTWN 00Z AND 03Z
SATURDAY. DURING THIS TIME MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW INVERSION HEIGHTS TO
NEAR 3500 FT...850MB TEMPS DROPPING TO AROUND -8C (MARGINAL FOR OVER
LAKE INSTABILITY) AND DEVELOPING SFC-850MB NORTHWEST FLOW.
SYNOPTICALLY BETWEEN 00Z SAT TO 03Z...500/300MB QVECTORS SHOW STRONG
CONVERGENCE/FORCING OVER THE NRN LAKES IN RESPONSE TO THE 500MB
TROUGH PUSHING EASTWARD ACROSS THE NRN GREAT LAKES. SOME WILL PUT A
PERIOD OF HIGHER POPS BETWEEN 00Z AND 03Z SAT FOR NW FLOW FAVORED
AREAS. HIGH PRESSURE AND MUCH DRIER AIR QUICKLY BEGIN TO OVERSPREAD
NORTHERN MICHGIAN BTWN 06Z AND 09Z BRINGING PCPN TO AN END.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...THE GREAT LAKES WILL BE DOMINATED BY
SUBSIDENCE AND DRIER AIR THROUGH THE WEEKEND. A LARGE AREA OF HIGH
PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE OHIO VALLEY SATURDAY...WILL SLOWLY PUSH
EAST TOWARD THE MID ATLANTIC THROUGH SUNDAY. AT UPPER LVLS...A 500MB
TROUGH LOCATED OVER THE EASTERN LAKES SATURDAY WILL FLATTEN AND
TREND NEARLY ZONAL THROUGH THE REST OF THE PERIOD. OVERALL THIS
PATTERN WILL GENERATE SOME SUN AND WARM TEMPERATURES ACROSS NORTHERN
MICHIGAN THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF LATE AFTN
OR EVENING RAIN SHOWERS OVER THE WRN PORTIONS OF THE CWA SUNDAY...
AS A PLAINS STORM SYSTEM NEARS THE GREAT LAKES. HOWEVER WILL KEEP
ANY MENTION OF PCPN OUT OF THE FORECAST UNTIL SUNDAY NIGHT...AS
MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW EXTREMELY DRY LOW AND MID LVL AIR LINGERING
UNTIL 06Z MONDAY. WILL MENTION AFTN TEMPS WARMING INTO THE UPPER 40S
AND LOWER 50S ACRS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA SATURDAY AS 850MB TEMPS
