Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Grand Rapids MI
330 PM EDT Sun Oct 30 2016

LATEST UPDATE...
Synopsis/Short Term/Long Term/Marine

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 330 PM EDT Sun Oct 30 2016

As high pressure settles over the Michigan tonight, skies will clear
and temperatures will fall to the lower to mid 30s. Breezy
conditions will develop Monday afternoon as the high moves east and
a cold front approaches the Great Lakes. Temperatures will warm to
around 70 by Tuesday.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday night)
Issued at 330 PM EDT Sun Oct 30 2016

Forecast concerns deal with pcpn chances Monday night and Tuesday
night.

A cold front will approach the cwa early this week as high pressure
drifts east. Winds will pick up from the south Monday and we should
see some sunshine. A warm front moving north may result in a few
showers over the northern cwa Monday night. Can't rule out a brief
thunderstorm either. Temps on Tuesday behind the warm front will
warm to around 70. The trailing cold front will result in more
showers Tuesday night as it moves across the state and a wave a low
pressure develops on the southern portion and moves toward Lower
Michigan.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Sunday)
Issued at 330 PM EDT Sun Oct 30 2016

Main items of concern are in the first few forecast periods of the
long term with quiet weather thereafter. A surface low will move
through the Southern Great Lakes region from Wednesday into Thursday
with fairly good chances for rain, especially Wednesday and
Wednesday night. We have likely pops, 60-70 pct, in the forecast for
both of those periods. On Thursday we have chances for rain tapering
off, based on coordination with neighbors. Could see the need to
increase pops on Thursday as a secondary upper shortwave drops from
north to south through the region.

Thursday night through Sunday looks to be quiet with high pressure
situated nearby the entire time.

Overall temperatures look to be near to slightly above normal
through the long term. There is a brief cool down Thursday into
Thursday night, but 850mb temps rebound beginning Friday and
especially into the weekend.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon)
Issued at 205 PM EDT Sun Oct 30 2016

MVFR ceilings are prevalent across the Lower Peninsula at 200pm.
The current thinking is the MVFR ceilings will hold on through the
afternoon and begin to lift and break up around 22z. Conditions
should go VFR around 00z with clearing through the evening. Mainly
clear skies are expected overnight into Monday morning. Conditions
will remain VFR through 18z on Monday.

Winds that are north at 5-10 knots this afternoon will become
calm overnight.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 330 PM EDT Sun Oct 30 2016

Issued a small craft advisory Monday afternoon through Tuesday north
of South Haven to account for strengthening winds ahead of the next
cold front.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 1105 AM EDT Sun Oct 30 2016

A quarter to half inch fell in much of the Kalamazoo basin and the
headwaters of the Grand on Sunday morning. Rivers will be able to
handle this but will remain above normal for late October,
especially especially the Grand River basin. There is potential
for a band of over a half inch of rain to fall either Wednesday or
Wednesday night. This will be something to monitor, as river
ensembles suggest basin-average amounts around three-quarters of
an inch could bring some forecast points to bankfull. The most
susceptible points are currently Holt, Maple Rapids, Eagle, and
Ionia.
