AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

356 AM EST FRI JAN 16 2015

.SHORT TERM...TODAY AND TONIGHT

SURFACE COLD FRONT SLIDING THROUGH SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN EARLY THIS
MORNING WITH LITTLE FANFARE...AS UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AXIS/SUPPORT IS
ALREADY OVER THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES. THE FRONT WILL SINK SOUTH OF
THE MICHIGAN BORDER AND WASH OUT AS UPPER LEVEL RIDGING BEGINS TO
BUILD INTO THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT.
SHARP BAROCLINIC ZONE LOOKS TO BE HUNG UP ACROSS LOWER
MICHIGAN...MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO ACCESS EXACTLY HOW MUCH COLD AIR
WILL BE ABLE TO FILTER INTO SOUTHERN LOW MICHIGAN DURING THE DAY.
MODEL CONSENSUS IS FOR 925 MB TEMPS TO FALL INTO THE NEGATIVE LOWER
TEENS...WHICH SUGGESTS TEMPS SHOULD HOLD/FALL INTO THE LOW/MID 20S.
RAW SURFACE TEMPS OUT OF THE NAM/RAP13 EVEN SUGGEST TEENS WILL
ENCOMPASS THE NORTH HALF OF THE CWA POST 12Z. RAP SOUNDINGS STILL
INDICATING STEEP ENOUGH LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES/SUPERSATURATION WITH
RESPECT TO ICE TO MAINTAIN A CHANCE OF FLURRIES.

THERE WILL BE A MODEST RETURN OF MOISTURE TONIGHT AS A SHORTWAVE
TRACKS THROUGH SOUTH DAKOTA AND ARRIVES TOWARD 12Z SATURDAY...BUT
THE INITIALLY DRY MID LEVELS (850 DEW PT DEPRESSIONS OF 20+ C) WILL
NEED TO SATURATE...WHICH LOOKS TO BE A CHALLENGE...PER 00Z EURO. GFS
IS INDICATING THE BEST MOISTURE AND TRIES TO TRIGGER LIGHT SNOW
SHOWERS...BUT PREFERENCE WILL LEAN TOWARD DRIER SOLUTION...BUT WILL
INCLUDE A CHANCE OF FLURRIES OVERNIGHT WITH THE INCREASING
ISENTROPIC ASCENT. NONE-THE-LESS...BEFORE CLOUDS AND MOISTURE
INCREASE...SHOULD BE SET UP FOR GOOD FALL IN TEMPS DURING THE
EVENING WITH SURFACE HIGH/RIDGE IN PLACE. INHERITED TEMPS LOOKED
REASONABLE...MID/UPPER SINGLE NUMBERS THUMB REGION TO AROUND
10/LOWER TEENS ELSEWHERE.

&&

.LONG TERM... SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY

THE COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES TODAY WILL BE ON ITS
WAY BACK NORTH AS A WARM FRONT TO START SATURDAY. THIS WILL TOUCH
OFF A ROUND OF ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR THE WEEKEND. SATURDAY
WILL BE THE WARMEST DAY AS MAX TEMPS MAKE A RUN INTO THE MID AND
UPPER 30S FOLLOWED BY READINGS ABOUT A CATEGORY LOWER SUNDAY
FOLLOWING THE ASSOCIATED MODEST COLD FRONT. THE MOISTURE SUPPLY WITH
THE SYSTEM WILL BE LEAN ENOUGH TO LIMIT PRECIP POTENTIAL TO A CHANCE
OF RAIN/SNOW MIX SATURDAY NIGHT AND A CHANCE OF SNOW EARLY SUNDAY.

THE UPPER LEVEL WAVE THAT WILL AFFECT THE GREAT LAKES SATURDAY IS
SHOWN DRIVING THROUGH THE PACIFIC NW WITH A STRONG LOOK IN SATELLITE
IMAGERY. IT WILL HAVE NO PROBLEM MATCHING MODEL TIMING OF REACHING
THE NORTHERN PLAINS SATURDAY MORNING. SURFACE CYCLOGENESIS IN THE
LEE OF THE CENTRAL ROCKIES WILL THEN LATCH ON TO THE FRONT STALLED
JUST TO OUR SOUTH AND PULL IT STEADILY NORTHWARD DURING THE DAY.
PRECIPITATION POTENTIAL WILL BE TIED TO AND LIMITED BY THE LACK OF
GULF MOISTURE AVAILABLE TO THE FRONTAL ZONE THAT WILL BE ENSURED BY
THE BROAD REGION OF SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED ON THE ENTIRE
GULF COAST THROUGH MID ATLANTIC. MODEL PLAN DEPICTIONS AND CROSS
SECTIONS OF THETA-E INDICATE A SHARP BUT SHALLOWLY SLOPED FRONTAL
STRUCTURE CONTAINING SPECIFIC HUMIDITY AROUND 3 G/KG ON THE 285K
SURFACE...NOT BAD FOR AN AIR MASS OF PACIFIC ORIGIN...BUT WITH THE
BULK OF ISENTROPIC ASCENT CAPABLE OF PRECIP OCCURRING OVER THE
NORTHERN GREAT LAKES. CONDITIONS IN SE MICHIGAN WILL RESEMBLE MORE
OF WARM SECTOR REGION OF THE SYSTEM WITH THE SURFACE FRONT EXPECTED
TO MOVE THROUGH IN TIME FOR MAX TEMPS TO MAKE A RUN INTO THE UPPER
30S  BY LATE AFTERNOON NEAR THE OHIO BORDER TO MID 30S NORTHERN
THUMB.

THE UPPER WAVE WILL GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO OUR AREA SATURDAY EVENING TO
HELP WRING OUT SOME MOISTURE FROM THE LOW LEVEL THETA-E
RIDGE/PREFRONTAL SURFACE TROUGH. THE UPPER TROUGH AXIS AND SURFACE
FRONT WILL THEN BRING ENOUGH COLD AIR BACK INTO THE LOW LEVELS FOR A
CHANCE OF LIGHT SNOW OVERNIGHT. THE CHANCE POP CATEGORY IS
MAINTAINED FOR NOW AS MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATE INCONSISTENT LEVELS
OF SATURATION DURING THE EVENING BUT WITH A THERMAL PROFILE
SUPPORTIVE OF LIGHT RAIN. THE SOUNDINGS AND MEAN RH FIELDS TOGETHER
SUGGEST JUST POCKETS OF LIGHT PRECIPITATION UNTIL POSSIBLY LATE
SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING AS COLDER AIR ALOFT AND STRONGER
DYNAMIC SUPPORT WITH THE UPPER TROUGH INCREASE FORCING AND LOWER
STABILITY ENOUGH FOR BROADER COVERAGE.

THE REST OF THE WEEK WILL BE ON THE ACTIVE SIDE IN TERMS OF SMALL
SCALE SHORT WAVES/CLIPPER SYSTEMS THAT WILL HAVE MODERATE MOISTURE
SUPPLY BUT LOW PREDICTABILITY. SO FAR...NO BIG ARCTIC AIR INTRUSIONS
ARE INDICATED UNTIL POSSIBLY THE END OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.MARINE...

A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THE REST OF THE WAY THROUGH LAKE HURON AND
LOWER MICHIGAN DURING THE MORNING. MODERATE NORTHWEST WIND WILL HAVE
GUSTS AROUND 30 KNOTS...AND POSSIBLY A FEW STRAY GUSTS TO GALE
FORCE...BEFORE DIMINISHING QUICKLY IN FAVOR OF HIGH PRESSURE BY
AFTERNOON. THE NEXT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL THEN MOVE QUICKLY INTO
THE NORTHERN PLAINS TONIGHT WHICH WILL RAPIDLY INCREASE WIND FROM
THE SOUTH LATE TONIGHT AND SATURDAY. THE GRADIENT WIND WILL INCREASE
WITHIN THE UNSTABLE AIR OVER THE LAKE AND AHEAD OF THE SURFACE WARM
FRONT WHICH WILL SUPPORT A PERIOD OF GALE FORCE GUSTS BEGINNING
SATURDAY MORNING TROUGH ABOUT MID AFTERNOON. THE PASSAGE OF THE WARM
FRONT WILL THEN BRING ENOUGH STABILITY OVER THE WATER TO BRING WIND
BELOW GALES BUT STILL ELEVATED NEAR 30 KNOTS AT TIMES. THE COLD
FRONT IS ALSO EXPECTED TO PASS THROUGH THE REGION WITH GUSTS AT 30
KNOTS OR LESS THROUGH SUNDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...ISSUED 1155 PM EST THU JAN 15 2015

POOLED LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ALONG AND BEHIND PASSING TROUGH AND COLD
FRONT TONIGHT WILL BRING A PERIOD OF MVFR TO LOWER VFR CIGS IN THE
2500 TO 4000 FOOT RANGE. DRIER FLOW ON FRIDAY IN THE WAKE OF THIS
SYSTEM WILL ALLOW CIGS TO EDGE UP AND BECOME SCT-BKN WITH TIME.
MBS/FNT APPEAR TO CLEAR OUT THE MOST AS HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS OVER
NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN AND LAKE HURON BY FRIDAY 18Z-00Z. WINDS WILL
SWING FROM NW TO N TO E AS THIS HIGH BUILDS PAST THE AREA DURING THE
SECOND PART OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.

FOR DTW...MVFR CIGS ALONG SURFACE TROUGH WILL EDGE BACK UP TO LOWER
VFR OVERNIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING AND THEN BECOME SCT-BKN BY MIDDAY
FRIDAY AS DRIER LOW LEVEL AIR FROM HIGH PRESSURE PUSHES INTO LOWER
MICHIGAN.
