AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
334 PM EST SAT DEC 12 2015

.NEAR TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 333 PM EST SAT DEC 12 2015

IMPACT WEATHER: DRIZZLE AND FOG IN NRN LOWER.

SYNOPTIC PATTERN AND OBSERVATIONS:

STRONG JET ENERGY CARVING OUT A MORE AMPLIFIED TROUGH OVER THE
ROCKIES...AND SUBSEQUENT RIDGING INTO THE GREAT LAKES. ONE SHORTWAVE
IS SEEN IN EAST TEXAS...ASSOCIATED WITH A SWATH OF PRECIPITATION
FUELED BY DEEP MOISTURE COMING OFF THE GULF. THE EARLIER WEAK WAVE
FROM WESTERN IL IS NOW WASHED OUT...AND THERE HAS BEEN LITTLE TO NO
NORTHWARD PUSH IN THE SFC FRONT WHICH IS STILL LAID OUT ACROSS NRN
IL/FAR SRN LOWER. ALOFT...THERE HAS BEEN INCREASED MOISTURE JUST
ABOVE THE SFC...BUT WINDS ARE SO LIGHT...IT HAS BEEN A SLOW PROCESS.
REGARDLESS...CLOUD HEIGHTS HAVE SLOWLY BEEN LOWERING. IN THE HIGHER
TERRAIN OF NRN LOWER...CIGS HAVE COME DOWN ENOUGH FOR SOME LOWERED
VSBYS.

SYNOPTIC PATTERN AND WEATHER EVOLUTION:

THE SHORTWAVE IN EAST TEXAS WILL LIFT INTO THE SRN LAKE MICHIGAN BY
LATE TONIGHT...WHILE WINDS BACK MORE SOUTHERLY IN THE LOW LEVEL
THROUGH THE NIGHT. WINDS ARE STILL GONNA BE LIGHT...BUT THERE SHOULD
BE SOME BETTER NORTHWARD MOVEMENT OF THE SFC BASED WARM FRONT. TO
MOST...THE EVOLUTION OF THE WEATHER WILL BE RATHER ORDINARY...BUT TO
THE GUY PICKING OUT THE FINER DETAILS...IT'S MORE OF A PRIDE THING.
IT'S JUST GONNA BE CLOUDY ALL NIGHT...BUT AS THE NIGHT WEARS
ON...GREATER AND GREATER LOWER LEVEL MOISTURE WILL RESULT IN VERY
LOW CLOUD HEIGHTS AND ULTIMATELY A LITTLE DRIZZLE. REDUCTIONS IN
VISIBILITY IS A MUCH BETTER BET TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHER
TERRAIN OF INTERIOR NRN LOWER...WHERE DENSE FOG IS LIKELY IN SPOTS
OVERNIGHT. THE SHORTWAVE DAMPENS OUT THROUGH THE NIGHT...AND
AGAIN...ANY REGULAR GUY ON THE STREET MOST LIKELY WONT CARE...BUT
THE PRECIPITATION COULD BE MORE OF A LIGHT RAIN THAN DRIZZLE. EITHER
WAY...DAMP AND DREARY. TEMPERATURES WILL NOT FALL TOO MUCH
OVERNIGHT...MAYBE 3-5 DEGREES. LOWS IN THE MIDDLE 30S IN EASTERN
UPPER TO THE LOWER 40S SOUTH.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 333 PM EST SAT DEC 12 2015

HIGH IMPACT WEATHER...POSSIBLE DENSE FOG ALONG WITH A DECENT AMOUNT
OF RAIN.

...CONTINUED UNSEASONABLY WARM WITH RAIN AND AREAS OF FOG...

LOW PRESSURE CURRENTLY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES WILL TRACK ACROSS
THE CENTRAL PLAINS SUNDAY WHILE DEEPENING...THEN ACROSS NORTHEAST
WISCONSIN MONDAY. UNSEASONABLY WARM AIR OUT AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM
COMBINED WITH A NICE GULF OF MEXICO TAP (PW/S UPWARDS OF AN
UNSEASONABLY HIGH 1.25 INCHES) RESULT IN RAIN THROUGH MONDAY (IT
STILL LOOKS LIKE A GENERAL ONE TO TWO INCH SOAKING WITH HIGHEST
AMOUNTS ACROSS EASTERN UPPER). IN ADDITION...ALL THE WARM
AIR/MOISTURE WILL LEAD TO AREAS OF FOG (SOME POSSIBLY DENSE?).
COOLER BUT STILL MILD MONDAY NIGHT WITH PERHAPS A FEW LINGERING WRAP
AROUND RAIN SHOWERS. SHORT WAVE RIDGING TUESDAY SHOULD LEAD TO A
BREAK IN THE ACTION THOUGH LINGERING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL LIKELY
KEEP SKIES MOSTLY CLOUDY FOR THE MOST PART (BEST SHOT AT SEEING THE
SUN ACROSS SOUTHERN ZONES).

HERE ARE THE RECORDS OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAY (THANKS TO THE
EVE/MID SHIFT FOR LOOKING THEM UP):

SUNDAY:

TRAVERSE CITY.......55 1920
ALPENA..............50 1975
HOUGHTON LAKE.......53 1920
SAULT SAINT MARIE...45 1920
GAYLORD.............48 1991

MONDAY:

TRAVERSE CITY.......56 1975
ALPENA..............61 1975
HOUGHTON LAKE.......55 1975
SAULT SAINT MARIE...53 1975
GAYLORD.............57 1975

EXPECT A FEW RECORDS TO BE BROKEN...ESPECIALLY SUNDAY WHEN THE
ACTUAL RECORDS ARE A FEW DEGREES LOWER THAN MONDAY IN MOST CASES.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 333 PM EST SAT DEC 12 2015

ALL OF THE WEATHER FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE PERIOD WILL REVOLVE
AROUND A CENTER OF LOW PRESSURE THAT LIFTS FROM NEBRASKA ON
WEDNESDAY TO THE SOUTH SIDE OF HUDSON BAY BY FRIDAY. THIS WILL KEEP
GENERALLY UNIMPRESSIVE CHANCES FOR RAIN...THEN RAIN/SNOW...THEN SNOW
ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THURSDAY AS TEMPERATURES SLOWLY DROP TO MORE
SEASONAL READINGS THROUGH THE MID WEEK PERIOD. THEN AS THE TROUGH
ACROSS THE CENTRAL CONUS DEEPENS FRIDAY...COLDER CANADIAN AIR SPILLS
SOUTHWARD AND SPREADS INTO THE GREAT LAKES REGION. H8 TEMPS IN THE
TEENS BELOW ZERO ARE BEING ADVERTISED BY THE EURO FOR FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY. ADD TO THAT A LOW LEVEL WIND REGIME THAT LOCKS IN WESTERLY
FOR FRIDAY...AND SLOWLY VEERS NORTHWESTERLY FOR SATURDAY...COULD SET
UP THE BEST LES SCENARIO WE'VE SEEN SO FAR THIS YEAR. ALAS...THAT'S
STILL A LONG WAY OFF...AND MOST OF THE SIGNIFICANT SHOTS OF COLD AIR
THAT THE MODELS HAVE ADVERTISED THIS YEAR HAVE FAILED TO
MATERIALIZE. BUT WE'LL KEEP AN OPTIMISTIC AND WATCHFUL EYE ON THIS
POSSIBILITY.

ISSUED AT 333 PM EST SAT DEC 12 2015

LIGHT EAST/SE WINDS WILL PICK UP LATE TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING
BEFORE THE PASSAGE OF A WARM FRONT THROUGH THE DAY SUNDAY. WINDS
THEN TURN OUT OF THE SOUTH AND INCREASE SUBSTANTIALLY...ALTHOUGH
OVERLAKE CONDITIONS WILL BE INCREASINGLY STABLE. ADVISORY LEVEL
WINDS BEGIN TONIGHT AROUND THE STRAITS...THEN EXPAND ACROSS ALL
NEARSHORES THROUGH SUNDAY..AND CONTINUE INTO MONDAY. THERE IS SOME
GALE POTENTIAL...BUT THE STABILITY PREVENTS FROM HOISTING ANYTHING
OTHER THAN SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES. A COLD FRONT BLOWS THROUGH
