LATEST UPDATE...
UPDATE/AVIATION

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 255 PM EDT THU MAR 31 2016

A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL BRING THE RISK OF STRONG THUNDERSTORMS
INTO EARLY THIS EVENING THEN THE SHOWERS WILL END BUT SKIES WILL
REMAIN MOSTLY CLOUDY AS IT BECOMES COOLER TONIGHT WITH LOWS IN
THE 30S. AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH THE AREA SATURDAY
BRINGING WITH IT SNOW WITH SOME LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS WITH MUCH
COLDER TEMPERATURES. AN AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRING DRY
WEATHER SUNDAY INTO MONDAY BEFORE ANOTHER SYSTEM FROM WESTERN
CANADA BRINGS RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS BACK INTO THE AREA BY LATER
TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY.

&&

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 757 PM EDT THU MAR 31 2016

SHOWERS AND TSTMS HAVE EXITED SO HAVE UPDATED FOR A MAINLY DRY
NIGHT ALTHOUGH A FEW SPRINKLES CANNOT BE RULED OUT LATER ON AS THE
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ROTATES IN FROM THE WEST. ALSO ADDED AREAS OF
FOG ALONG THE LAKESHORE PER LATEST SFC OBS AND WEB CAMS AT HOLLAND
AND SOUTH HAVEN.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 255 PM EDT THU MAR 31 2016

WE ARE TRACKING STRONG STORMS THAT WILL CROSS THIS AREA FROM MID
AFTERNOON INTO EARLY THIS EVENING. AFTER THAT OUR NEXT SYSTEM
WILL BE THE CLIPPER SYSTEM WITH THE ARCTIC FRONT THAT MAY WELL
BRING SNOW TO THE AREA SATURDAY DURING THE DAY.

THANKS TO EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR NEAR 60 KNOTS JUST AHEAD OF THE
COLD FRONT...WITH MOST UNSTABLE CAPE NEAR 500 J/KG...IN
COMBINATION WITH THE ENTRANCE REGION TO A 120 KNOT JET AND DEEP
LAYER MOISTURE ALREADY IN PLACE... THERE IS LITTLE QUESTION WE
WILL SEE A LINE OF STRONG THUNDERSTORMS CROSS THE AREA MID TO LATE
AFTERNOON. FOR THE MOST PART IT WOULD SEEM THE STORMS SHOULD BE
SUB-SEVERE BUT A FEW ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS WOULD BE POSSIBLE DUE
TO THE GOOD DYNAMICS ALREADY IN PLACE.

ONCE THAT COLD FRONT COMES THROUGH EARLY TONIGHT LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE REMAINS IN PLACE BUT THE MID LEVEL MOISTURE IS GONE SO I
DO NOT SEE ANYTHING MORE THAN CLOUDS AND COOLER TEMPERATURE.

ON FRIDAY A FAIRLY STRONG SHORTWAVE PASSES OVERHEAD BUT DEEP
MOISTURE IS LIMITED SO I HAVE A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS TO COVER THAT
MOVING THROUGH IN THE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING.

THE SNOW EVENT ON SATURDAY IS THANKS TO A 140 KNOT JET EXIT
REGION ASSOCIATED WITH THE ARCTIC FRONT COMING THROUGH DURING
SATURDAY AFTERNOON. THERE IS DEEP MOISTURE WITH THIS SYSTEM TO
HELP THE CAUSE FOR SNOW. THE ARCTIC FRONT WILL BRING AIR THAT IS
COLD ENOUGH FOR SNOW. IT SHOULD SNOW HARD ENOUGH OVER THE CENTRAL
AND NORTHERN CWA TO KEEP AIR TEMPERATURES NEAR FREEZING WHILE IT
IS SNOWING (NOW SHOWN IN OUR GRIDS TOO WELL) SO I WOULD EXPECT 2
TO 4 INCHES IN CENTRAL AND NORTHERN SECTIONS... MOSTLY ON GRASSY
AREA.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 255 PM EDT THU MAR 31 2016

TEMPERATURES WILL AVERAGE MUCH BELOW NORMAL SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY
BEFORE MODERATING A BIT BY WEDNESDAY. A CLIPPER SYSTEM WILL BRING
POTENTIAL FOR A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW TO SOUTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN LATE
SUNDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT AND SNOW NORTH OF I-96. SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS IN THE TWO TO FIVE INCH RANGE ARE POSSIBLE OVER OUR
NORTHERN FCST AREA NORTH OF I-96.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN TO PRODUCE FAIR WX LATE MONDAY THROUGH
TUESDAY. THE NEXT SYSTEM MOVING IN FROM THE WEST WILL BRING
POTENTIAL FOR MIXED PCPN TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY. MORE
UNSEASONABLY COOL AIR WILL LIKELY MOVE IN BEHIND THAT SYSTEM FOR
LATE NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 757 PM EDT THU MAR 31 2016

SHOWERS AND TSTMS HAVE EXITED AND A FEW HOURS OF VFR CAN BE
EXPECTED THIS EVENING BEHIND THE CONVECTION. THE EXCEPTION IS AT
MKG WHERE STRATUS OFF LK MI WILL LEAD TO IFR/LIFR CIGS.

LOW CLOUDS WILL BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD LATER THIS EVENING
RESULTING IN NUMEROUS IFR CIGS BY 06Z. IFR TO MVFR WILL LINGER ON
FRIDAY MORNING BUT VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AFTER
18Z FRIDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
ISSUED AT 255 PM EDT THU MAR 31 2016

I WILL KEEP THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY GOING AS IS. WE WILL LIKELY
NEED A GALE WARING ON SATURDAY FOR THE ARCTIC FRONT COMING
THROUGH.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 122 PM EDT THU MAR 31 2016

A RIVER FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE MUSKEGON RIVER NEAR
CROTON DAM. MINOR FLOODING IS EXPECTED. THE MUSKEGON RIVER NEAR
CROTON IS CURRENTLY FORECAST TO CREST AROUND 9.3 FEET ON
SATURDAY. THIS FORECAST MAY CHANGE DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH RAIN
FALLS IN THE AREA THROUGH THIS EVENING. AT 9.0 FEET... EXPECT
MINOR FLOODING OF COTTAGES AND HOMES DOWNSTREAM OF NEWAYGO ON
RIVERVIEW DRIVE IN BRIDGETON TOWNSHIP AND PEPPERIDGE IN ASHLAND
TOWNSHIP.

OTHERWISE... NUMEROUS RIVER FLOOD ADVISORIES ARE IN EFFECT FOR
NUISANCE FLOODING DUE TO RIVERS OUT OF THEIR BANKS. MINOR FLOODING
WILL BE A POSSIBILITY THROUGH THE NEXT WEEK. THE MUSKEGON RIVER BASIN
HAS RECEIVED 1.00-1.75 INCHES OF RAIN THUS FAR SINCE WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON. AN ADDITIONAL BASIN AVERAGE OF 0.25-0.50 INCHES OF RAIN IS
POSSIBLE WITH SHOWERS AND STORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

STRONG STORMS INTO THIS EVENING MAY PRODUCE HEAVY RAINFALL AND
LOCALIZED FLOODING...ESPECIALLY IN POOR DRAINAGE AREAS.
