AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
341 PM EST WED DEC 9 2015

.NEAR TERM...(TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 340 PM EST WED DEC 9 2015

IMPACT WEATHER: MAYBE SOME EVENING FOG?

SYNOPTIC PATTERN AND OBSERVATIONS:

SHORTWAVE AND ASSOCIATED SFC TROUGH/NARROW CORRIDOR OF LOW LEVEL
COLD AIR CROSSING NRN MICHIGAN ATTM...PUSHING A SWATH OF DRIZZLE
ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CWA. SHALLOW MID LEVEL RIDGING WAS
WORKING EASTWARD INTO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES/MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.
LOW LEVEL WAA/DRYING ALREADY EATING AWAY AT STRATUS/LAKE CLOUD
ACROSS WESTERN LAKE SUPERIOR. WE STILL HAVE MARGINAL OVERLAKE 925MB
INSTABILITY IN WESTERLY FLOW BEHIND THE SFC TROUGH. THIS IS NOT
ALLOWING CLEARING ACROSS NW LOWER...DESPITE EARLIER SURGE OF DRYING
FROM WISCONSIN. FURTHER UPSTREAM...NEXT SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND
ASSOCIATED SFC LOW PRESSURE WAS WORKING TOWARD NORTH DAKOTA. A WARM
FRONT EXTENDS SOUTH OF THE LOW APPROACHING MN/IA...AND A SWATH OF
MID LEVEL CLOUDS WERE DEVELOPING IN NRN MN...BURIED IN STRONGEST LOW
TO MID LEVEL WARM ADVECTION/-DIVQ BULLS-EYE.

SYNOPTIC PATTERN AND WEATHER EVOLUTION:

SOLID STRATUS CLOUDS TO HOLD INTO THE EVENING...WHILE -2C 925MB
TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO RESULT IN MARGINAL OVERLAKE INSTABILITY.
WESTERLY FLOW WILL KEEP THESE CLOUDS LOCKED IN NW LOWER AND
ESPECIALLY THE HIGHER TERRAIN WITH THE HELP OF OROGRAPHIC LIFT. WE
DO START TO LOSE THE INSTABILITY LATE IN THE EVENING...AND WE COULD
SEE AT LEAST SOME CLEARING ACROSS NW LOWER FOR A FEW HOURS. IT WON'T
LAST LONG BECAUSE A STRENGTHENING LOW LEVEL JET AHEAD OF THE
EASTWARD ADVANCING WARM FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP MID LEVEL
CLOUDS THAT WILL START WORKING INTO NRN MICHIGAN AROUND MIDNIGHT AND
THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...TURNING SKIES BACK CLOUDY ALREADY BY
DAYBREAK. THE STRONGEST FORCING WILL CROSS EASTERN UPPER AS THE
NIGHT WEARS ON...AND THERE WILL BE INCREASING CHANCES FOR SEEING SOME
LIGHT RAIN DEVELOP THERE TOWARD DAYBREAK.

THERE ONE CONCERN WILL BE FOR THE POTENTIAL FOR EVENING FOG ACROSS
THE GTV BAY REGION IF THE CLEARING DOES OCCUR. TEMP DEW POINT
SPREADS ARE QUITE SMALL...AND EVEN BRIEF CLEARING COULD RAPIDLY
FIRE OFF THE FOG. CHANCES FOR FOG SHOULD BE LESS THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS WITH THE INCREASING MID LEVEL CLOUD...AS WELL AS A
SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN WIND SPEEDS JUST OFF THE SFC.

LOWS IN THE MIDDLE 30S.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 339 PM EST WED DEC 9 2015

A FORECAST 988MB CLIPPER SYSTEM WILL TRAVERSE THROUGH THE NORTHERN
GREAT LAKES REGION...GENERATING MORE RAIN SHOWERS THROUGHOUT THE
CWA...WITH EASTERN UPPER AND NORTH OF M-72 OVER NORTHERN LOWER WITH
THE BEST CHANCES THROUGHOUT THE DAY THURSDAY AND INTO FRIDAY
AFTERNOON. THERE WILL BE A QUICK BREAK FROM THE PRECIPITATION FRIDAY
NIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING BEFORE ANOTHER AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
DEVELOPING OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS BEGINS TO IMPACT NORTHERN
MICHIGAN WITH MORE PRECIPITATION. WARM ADVECTION PRECIPITATION
ASSOCIATED WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED STORM SYSTEM WILL BEGIN EARLY
SATURDAY AND LAST THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THIS FORECAST PERIOD.
WITH THE ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION...ALL
PRECIPITATION THROUGHOUT THIS FORECAST PERIOD WILL BE IN THE FORM OF
RAIN. QPF AMOUNTS WILL RANGE FROM ONLY A FEW HUNDREDTHS NEAR THE M-
72 CORRIDOR TO A QUARTER OF AN INCH OVER PORTIONS OF CHIPPEWA COUNTY.

FORECAST SOUNDINGS HAVE SOUTH TO SOUTHWESTERLY WIND GUSTS OF 25 TO
30 MPH MIXING DOWN TO THE SURFACE AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS
BETWEEN THE APPROACHING CLIPPER SYSTEM AND HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE
EASTERN SEABOARD. THESE GUSTY WINDS WILL DECREASE IN INTENSITY AND
VEER TO MORE WESTERLY FRIDAY MORNING AS THE SYSTEM DEPARTS TO THE
NORTHEAST AND THEN BECOMES LIGHT AND VARIABLE LATE IN THE AFTERNOON
AND THROUGH SATURDAY AS A BRIEF PERIOD OF SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
SETTLES OVERHEAD BEFORE THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM ARRIVES.
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN VERY MILD FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR...WITH
NIGHT TIME LOW TEMPERATURES WARMER THAN EVEN THE NORMAL HIGH
TEMPERATURES. HIGHS WILL BE IN THE MID 40S AND POSSIBLY EVEN
REACH INTO THE LOW 50S FRIDAY. LOWS WILL BE IN THE MID TO UPPER
30S.

&&

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 339 PM EST WED DEC 9 2015

LOW PRESSURE BEGINS TO GRADUALLY TAKE SHAPE OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS
AT THE START OF THE PERIOD...WITH ISENTROPICALLY DRIVEN PRECIP
SPREADING INTO NRN MICHIGAN FROM SOUTH TO NORTH SATURDAY NIGHT INTO
EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. AS THE AFOREMENTIONED LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES
TO DEEPEN AS IT MOVES NORTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
...PERIODS OF RAIN ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. WPC
CONTINUES TO HIGHLIGHT 1.25-1.75 INCHES OF PRECIPITATION (ALL
LIQUID) FROM 12Z SATURDAY THROUGH 12Z MONDAY. WOULD BE HARD TO
DISAGREE MUCH WITH THAT LINE OF THOUGHT AS THE GULF OF MEXICO IS
VIRTUALLY TAPPED OPEN...FEEDING MOISTURE NORTHWARD INTO THE GREAT
LAKES REGION. AS MENTIONED YESTERDAY AFTERNOON...THE TYPICAL
UNCERTAINTIES REGARDING EXACT LOW PRESSURE PLACEMENT...STRENGTH
...AND TIMING REMAIN STILL EXIST AT THIS TIME FRAME...ALTHOUGH IT
CERTAINLY LOOKS AS IF MUCH MORE ACTIVE WEATHER WILL PRESENT ITSELF
FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

LATE MONDAY AS THE SYSTEM DEPARTS TO THE NORTH AND EAST...COOLER AIR
AND GUSTY WINDS WILL GRADUALLY WRAP AROUND THE BACK SIDE OF THE
SYSTEM. AT THIS POINT...PERHAPS A PERIOD LAKE EFFECT SNOW TO DEVELOP
BEYOND THE DEPARTURE OF ANY SYNOPTIC PRECIPITATION AND ARRIVAL OF
COOLER AIR.LOW CONFIDENCE IN TERMS OF ANY/HOW MUCH ACCUMULATION LATE
MONDAY-MONDAY NIGHT...ESPECIALLY WITH A LACK OF RUN-TO-RUN
CONSISTENCY IN TERMS OF THE DEGREE OF COLD AIR AND REMAINING MOISTURE
BEYOND THE SYSTEM'S DEPARTURE. DEFINITELY WORTH STAYING TUNED IN TO
OVER THE COMING DAYS.

ANY LINGERING LIGHT LAKE EFFECT PRECIP THAT MAY BE ONGOING MONDAY
NIGHT TAPERS BY EARLY TUESDAY MORNING AS HEIGHTS BEGIN TO
RISE...MOISTURE EXITS EAST AND H8 TEMPS RISE TO 0 TO 2C AHEAD OF
ANOTHER AREA OF LOW PRESSURE PROGGED TO SLIDE THROUGH THE CENTRAL
PLAINS/MIDWEST TOWARD THE VERY TAIL END OF THE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1249 PM EST WED DEC 9 2015

MVFR CONDITIONS HAS SPREAD INTO APN AFTER A SWATH OF LIGHT RAIN
MOVED THROUGH EASTERN UPPER/FAR NRN LOWER. BEHIND THE RAIN...A SFC
TROUGH WAS ABOUT TO CROSS INTO APN...WHILE CIGS WERE FALLING WELL
DOWN INTO IFR...WITH OCCASIONAL DRIZZLE/FOG. NOT SURE IF APN CAN
QUITE MAKE IT INTO IFR...BUT THESE CONDITIONS ACROSS NRN MICHIGAN
WILL LOCK INTO FOR THE DAY AND MUCH OF THE EVENING. THE EXCEPTION
WILL BE MBL...WHERE THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE SKIES WILL CLEAR LATE
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. MORE CONFIDENT IN THE LOW LEVEL
STRATUS CLEARING OUT AT ALL TAF SITES OVERNIGHT WITH A SOLID DECK
OF MID CLOUDS COMING IN TO TAKE THEIR PLACE. THIS MID LEVEL CLOUD
DEPARTS THURSDAY AS A WARM FRONT BLOWS THROUGH THE REGION.

WINDS WERE SHIFTING FROM SOUTH TO WESTERLY BEHIND THE SFC TROUGH
WITH SOME GUSTINESS. WINDS ALOFT INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY LATE
TONIGHT FOR LLWS...AND THERE IS A DECENT CHANCE THAT GUSTS TO 25
KNOTS...MAYBE 30KTS DEVELOP THROUGH THE DAY THURSDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
ISSUED AT 339 PM EST WED DEC 9 2015

WINDS HAVE SHIFTED MORE SW/WSW BEHIND A SFC TROUGH/COLD FRONT THAT
IS CROSSING NE LOWER AND LAKE HURON. WINDS BACK MORE OUT OF THE
SOUTH/SSW THROUGH THE NIGHT...AND INCREASE TO ADVISORY LEVEL SPEEDS
BY DAYBREAK AND CONTINUE THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING. THIS IS DUE TO LOW
PRESSURE/TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT SWING THROUGH THE REGION. RELATIVE
HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES IN FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON. GRADIENT EXPECTED TO
REMAIN FAIRLY LOOSE INTO SATURDAY...BEFORE A STRONG STORM SYSTEM IS
EXPECTED TO BRING MUCH STRONGER WINDS FOR MAINLY SUNDAY NIGHT
THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT.
