AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI
1151 PM EST THU JAN 14 2016

.AVIATION...

QUIET WEATHER HAS CONTINUED ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN MICHIGAN WITH THE
AMPLIFYING RIDGE OVER THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES. THETA E ADVECTION IS
ONGOING...SEEN BOTH IN SOME SOUTHWARD DEVELOPMENT OF MVFR CIGS AND
SURFACE VISBILITIES THAT HAVE BEEN RUNNING IN THE 3-5SM RANGE.
UPSTREAM OBS HAVE BEEN VOID OF LOW CLOUD AND DRIZZLE...SO THE IDEA
IS MORE OF THE SAME WITH MVFR/VFR CEILING HEIGHTS IN MVFR BR/HZ.
DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED THROUGH THE MORNING AND INTO THE EARLY
AFTERNOON HOURS WITH LINGERING DRY AIR. STOUT CVA DURING THE
AFTERNOON WITH SUBSTANTIAL MOISTURE SURGE POST 22Z WILL BRING A
HIGH LIKLIHOOD FOR RAIN AND IFR CIGS. TIMING OF WESTERLY WIND
SURGE ON SURFACE COLD FRONT IS 05-06Z.

//DTW THRESHOLD PROBABILITIES...

* LOW FOR CIGS AOB 5KFT TONIGHT. HIGH PROBABILITY AFTER 15Z FRIDAY.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...ISSUED 326 PM EST THU JAN 14 2016

DISCUSSION...

19Z WATER VAPOR IMAGERY REVEALS THINNING UPPER-LEVEL MOISTURE ACROSS
THE UPPER MIDWEST WITH A DIGGING TROUGH EMERGING FROM THE ROCKIES
ONTO THE HIGH PLAINS. AT THE SURFACE...LOW PRESSURE IS DEVELOPING IN
THE VICINITY OF SIOUX FALLS SD WITH A WARM FRONT EXTENDING EASTWARD
ROUGHLY ALONG THE M-59 CORRIDOR. LOW CLOUDS REMAIN PREVALENT NORTH
OF THIS FRONT THAT IS ONLY SLOWLY WORKING NORTHWARD. ISENTROPIC LIFT
IS RESULTING IN MAINLY VIRGA ALONG THE ELEVATED PORTION OF THE FRONT
WITH SOME ECHOES WORKING INTO THE TRI-CITIES AND NORTHERN THUMB. A
FEW LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS REMAIN POSSIBLE INTO THIS EVENING IN THESE
LOCALES AS THE COLUMN SLOWLY TRIES TO ACHIEVE SATURATION.

MAIN CHALLENGE TONIGHT IS ASSESSING LOW CLOUD/DRIZZLE POTENTIAL. NAM
IS ITS TYPICAL BULLISH SELF IN SATURATING THE LOW LEVELS AS MOISTER
AIR IS DRAWN NORTHWARD. IT IS PROJECTING LOW CLOUDS AT 18Z WHERE
DEWPOINT DEPRESSIONS WERE AROUND 10F OVER SOUTHERN IL/IN AND IT IS
ABOUT 10F TOO COLD IN THE RAW OUTPUT. AS A RESULT HAVE REMOVED
DRIZZLE MENTION SOUTH OF I-69. STILL FEEL THERE IS DRIZZLE AND
PERHAPS FOG POTENTIAL ALONG AND NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT /I-69/ WHERE
TEMPERATURES HAVE STRUGGLED AND VISIBILITIES HAVE BEEN DIMINISHED ALL
DAY. SOME FREEZING DRIZZLE IS POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY OVER NORTHERN
REACHES OF THE SAGINAW VALLEY AND THUMB WHERE TEMPERATURES WILL WARM
ABOVE FREEZING LAST...BUT IT IS NOT LIKELY TO BE TOO IMPACTFUL GIVEN
RESIDUAL MOISTURE AND SALT ON THE ROADS.

FRIDAY...UPPER WAVE TAKES ON A NEGATIVE TILT AS IT LIFTS FROM AR TO
OH. SURFACE LOW TO TRACK FROM SOUTHERN WI TO NORTHERN LOWER MI.
THIS WILL PUT SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN SOLIDLY IN THE WARM SECTOR WITH
TEMPS AREAWIDE ABOVE FREEZING BY AROUND 09Z. BEST AXIS OF
MOISTURE/BEST ISENTROPIC LIFT SKIRTS BY TO THE SOUTH AND EAST. AS A
RESULT...MUCH OF THE AREA MAY ACTUALLY STAY MAINLY DRY DURING THE
MORNING HOURS BEFORE LIFT AHEAD OF THE UPPER WAVE/SURFACE FRONT
BOOSTS US TO HIGH-LIKELY POPS BY AFTERNOON. PRECIP MAY END AS SNOW
FRIDAY NIGHT AS COLDER AIR FILTERS IN...BUT AT THAT POINT THE BETTER
MOISTURE/FORCING IS OFF TO THE NORTH AND EAST SO NOT EXPECTING
ANY MEANINGFUL ACCUMULATION. DUE TO PROGRESSIVE NATURE OF
SYSTEM...LOOKING AT 0.10 TO 0.25 INCHES OF RAIN.

SATURDAY...COLDER AIR CONTINUES TO FILTER IN AS CLOSED UPPER LOW
APPROACHES. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN STEADY OR DROP A BIT DURING THE
DAY AS 850 MB TEMPS FALL ABOUT 5C. SOME LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWER
ACTIVITY MAY BE AROUND BUT LOW INVERSION HEIGHTS LOOK TO LIMIT THE
COVERAGE. CHILLY LOWS IN THE TEENS SATURDAY NIGHT AS CAA CONTINUES.

AS REMNANTS OF THE WEEKEND LOW EXITS SUNDAY...SOME LAKE EFFECT SNOW
LINGERS MAINLY OVER THE THUMB ON MONDAY...OTHERWISE GENERALLY DRY
THROUGH MIDWEEK. FRIGID COLD AIR SETTLES IN ON THE BACKSIDE OF
SUNDAY'S LOW. OVERNIGHT LOWS DROP INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS FOR MONDAY
MORNING ACROSS SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN....WITH AFTERNOON HIGHS ONLY IN
THE TEENS TO LOW TWENTIES. THE FRIGID AIR HANGS OVER THE AREA
THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING WITH TEMPS WARMING SLIGHTLY THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD. AN UPPER LEVEL LOW BEGINS TO MIGRATE INTO
THE REGION BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND IS EXPECTED TO BRING IN THE
NEXT POTENTIAL FOR SNOW.

MARINE...

STRONG EASTERLY FLOW NORTH OF A WARM FRONT WILL BRING GUSTS TO NEAR-
GALES FOR SEVERAL HOURS LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY MORNING
OVERFAR NORTHERN LAKE HURON. AT THIS TIME...INSTABILITY APPEARS
MARGINAL FOR SUSTAINED GALES ALTHOUGH OCCASIONAL GUSTS TO GALES
CANNOT BE RULED OUT. WINDS WILL THEN VEER TO THE SOUTH BEHIND THE
WARM FRONT FOR FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT BEFORE A COLD FRONT
TRAVERSES THE WATERS AND NORTHWEST GUSTS TO GALES BECOME ESTABLISHED
OVER MOST OF LAKE HURON FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY. THE GALE WATCH
REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THIS PERIOD.
