Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
404 PM EDT Thu Oct 6 2016

.SHORT TERM...(This evening and overnight)
Issued at 333 PM EDT Thu Oct 6 2016

Showers are currently overspreading the region from southwest to
northeast per APX and surrounding radars. This is response to
developing low pressure across northern Illinois. There has been a
little embedded thunder to the south but not much as there is not
a lot of instability out there. Showers (and a slight chance of
thunder) are likely to continue tonight (especially northwest) as
the area of low pressure moves by to our west. Southerly winds
will pick up some later tonight as well. A surface cold front
which portends a much cooler weekend (see below) then moves
through the region later in the morning into the afternoon hours
Friday. There will be chances for a few showers and a slight
chance of thunderstorms with the front. Gusty southerly winds will
veer westerly. Lows tonight in the mild lower and middle 60s and
highs Friday in the upper 60s to middle 70s but likely falling off
behind the front in the afternoon.

.LONG TERM...(Friday through Thursday)
Issued at 333 PM EDT Thu Oct 6 2016

High impact weather potential: None.

Pattern synopsis/Expected evolution: Upper-level ridging east of the
Mississippi River continues this afternoon with troughing digging
into the Intermountain West. 250 mb 120+ kt jet streak with northern
Michigan lying in the right entrance region, combined with a stalled
frontal boundary over Wisconsin will be the focus for another wave
to continue to develop and move northeastward across the region
through Friday morning. The aforementioned stalled front finally
crosses Michigan late in the day Friday, resulting in quite the
airmass change Friday night into the upcoming weekend as more zonal
flow/weak troughing prevails across the heart of the country.

Friday night - Saturday: Will continue to taper any lingering PoPs
east of M-65 Friday evening as drier mid-level air is ushered in
behind a cold front progged to cross from west to east across the
state during the late evening/early overnight hours. Perhaps the
bigger story line is the change in airmass with H8 temps set to fall
from ~6-8 C at 00z Sat to -2 C to 0 C by 12z Sat. As a result of the
cooler temperatures, over-lake instability is expected to increase
substantially with delta T's approaching 18 C. Have opted to beef up
PoPs across portions of eastern Upper and far NW Lower from the
predawn hours Saturday throughout much of the day as the expectation
is for at least scattered lake effect rain showers to traverse the
area. Overall, a much more fall-like day is on tap across northern
Michigan with highs topping out in the low-mid 50s, partly to mostly
cloudy skies with occasional rain showers in the lake belts,
and breezy winds occasionally gusting to 20 mph.

Saturday night - Sunday: Weak bagginess in the upper flow continues
across the Great Lakes with H8 temps ever so slowly warming late
Sat. night into the day Sunday. Would expect scattered light lake
effect rain showers to continue across the typical downwind areas of
NW flow, gradually tapering off throughout the day Sunday as over-
lake instability gradually wanes. Near-normal lows expected Sat.
night, bottoming out in the upper 30s inland to the low-mid 40s as
you near the big lakes. Another fall-like day Sunday with highs in
the 50s and decreasing precip chances/clouds.

EXTENDED 0Z MON OCT 10 TO 0Z FRI OCT 14

With high pressure overhead, most of the extended period will be
rather quiet. A mid-week cold front could bring a few showers, but
that will be the primary chance through the period. Temperatures
will warm briefly early in the week, but return back to normal after
the cold front passes.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Friday afternoon)
Issued at 333 PM EDT Thu Oct 6 2016

Low pressure will track by to our northwest across Lake Superior
tonight. Showers and possibly some embedded thunder will continue
at MBL and TVC and move into PLN and APN later this afternoon and
evening. MVFR conditions are expected during and after
precipitation. There will be more chances for showers and a slight
chance of thunderstorms Friday as a cold front begins to move
across the region later in the morning into the afternoon hours.

LLWS is expected late tonight into early Friday.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 333 PM EDT Thu Oct 6 2016

Low pressure will intensify to our west tonight, and rapidly move
into Lake Superior Friday morning. This system will drag a cold
front across the nearshore waters later Friday morning into Friday
afternoon. Southwest winds will pick up some tonight then become
gusty out of the west and northwest later Friday into Friday
night. Have hoisted small craft advisories for all nearshore zones
starting at midnight tonight which will continue into at least the
first half of Friday night (and likely beyond for some zones).
There is a chance for a few gale force wind gusts late tonight
into early Friday, especially on Lake Michigan and on Whitefish
Bay.
