Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
330 AM EDT Fri Oct 14 2016

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 330 AM EDT Fri Oct 14 2016

High impact weather potential: none.

Warm advection just getting underway, as high pressure moves
eastward over the eastern Great Lakes. No lake effect precip left.
Low clouds have been waxing and waning since late Thursday
afternoon, and are currently still widespread over far northern
lower and extreme southeast upper MI. Warmer and relatively dry
air should be creeping back into the region, from the s and sw.
Cloud trends are the main concern in the short term period.

Today...as high pressure continues to move east, 1000-850mb winds
will back to the ssw and steadily increase. This will gradually
advect a (relatively) drier airmass into northern MI. 850mb temps
will rise some 10c from 12z to 00z today. There is still some
shallow cool/unstable air below 4k feet, which will not get
dislodged from eastern upper MI until this afternoon (per Nam bufr
soundings). Expect a south-to-north clearing trend, with most of
northern lower clearing out by early afternoon, and eastern upper
following. Some thin cirrus will advect in from the wnw this
afternoon, but won't be a serious impediment to sunshine.

Max temps in the mid 50s to around 60f. South winds increasing to
10-15mph this afternoon.

Tonight...ssw to sw low level winds will be cranking thru the night,
between the departing high and a cold front crossing the plains.
850mb temps will reach the mid teens C by morning. A surface warm
front will be strung out across southern Superior, and best
lift/moisture return will be north of this boundary across northern
Ontario. Widespread precip will thus remain well to our nw and n.
However, models are portraying a healthy increase in moisture below
900mb/3k ft. Note that there are plenty of low clouds presently in
se KS and central/eastern OK, so there is some potential/
justification for a low cloud deck to make northward progress into
the region. Will slow this progress a bit compared to Nam portrayals
(and will not bring introduce any associated drizzle), but will
bring increasing clouds to western/northern sections late tonight.

Min temps much milder, in the lower 40s (se) to lower 50s (near Lake
MI). Coupled locales (eastern upper, nw lower coast, exposed
elevated places) will maintain a southerly breeze around 10 mph.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 330 AM EDT Fri Oct 14 2016

High Impact Weather: Thunder is possible Saturday.

(10/15)Saturday...expect that day to start out partly to mostly
sunny as the warm front and begins to move through the forecast
area. Around 18z, however, the cold front moves through the region
bringing the chance for rain showers. It looks like the main frontal
passage won't be until Sunday, when the high builds into the region.
So for the overnight period, there will be the chance for
thunderstorms as there will be elevated instability (Showalter Index
is -2C at 06z on all the models). So showers with a chance of
thunder.

(10/16)Sunday...As the front passes through in the morning, the sfc
ridging will build in the front's place, and with the 500 mb
shortwave ridge upstream in the Northern Plains, will expect that
the rain chances will remain south of the forecast area. ECMWF is
expecting the rain to move back into the region in the evening as
the 500 mb ridge moves through the state and the next warm front
pushes into the region. While the GFS is a little slower with this
feature, and keeps the rain out of the region through the evening
(06z). The warm front moves in, and again produces elevated
convection, so will have chance of thunder with the rain showers as
the system moves into the Upper Great Lakes.

Extended (Monday through Thursday)...through Thursday, it looks like
we get into an almost zonal pattern with a constant WSW flow at 500
mb, and the jet over the region. This will keep us at or above
normal through most of the week. It doesn't look like there is a
break down of the pattern until late Thursday night/early Friday
morning when a deep 500 mb trough is expected to move into the
region. Although the GFS thinks the trough deepens into a cutoff low
and the ECMWF keeps it more like a trough, and keeps it rather
progressive. either way, probably dropping back to below normal
temperatures by the weekend.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday night)
Issued at 1125 PM EDT Thu Oct 13 2016

...VFR...

Skies went clear across much of NE lower/APN, but were filling
back in with good radiational cooling above the thin moisture
stuck below an inversion. Meanwhile, lingering overlake
instability will continue to pester the NW lower airports with
lake clouds. Not a ton of confidence, but this cloud could even
last into after daybreak. If that happens low level WAA will put
an end to that by midday. Winds were basically calm with high
pressure overhead and will be under 10 knots out of the south
Friday. Winds really crank up Friday night just above the sfc for
strong LLWS.

.MARINE...
Issued at 330 AM EDT Fri Oct 14 2016

South to southwest winds will increase, between high pressure
departing the eastern lakes and a cold front pushing into the
plains. Windiest conditions expected on Lake MI beginning
tonight. Will upgrade Lake MI nearshore waters to a gale warning.
Exception: Gd Traverse Bay, where they may come up just short of
gales during the weekend. Will leave the bay as a gale watch for
now. Will do the same for Whitefish Bay, which has a shorter
period of stronger winds tonight. Small craft advisories
elsewhere.
