Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
333 PM EST Mon Mar 6 2017

.NEAR TERM...(Tonight and Tuesday)
Issued at 333 PM EST Mon Mar 6 2017

...Precip chances and winds increase tonight...with a slight
chance of thunder...

High Impact Weather Potential...Minor...slight chance of thunder
with strengthening winds.

Pattern Synopsis/Forecast...Strengthening southerly flow continues
to pump warm/moist air into the Western Great Lakes region this
afternoon. Despite thick low cloud cover and areas of drizzle...
temps have warmed into the low to mid 50s across southern sections
of our CWA...while temps remain in the mid to upper 30s across the
north. Broken like of showers that passed thru our area today has
pushed east into Lake Huron...with additional showers now developing
upstream over Wisconsin along and ahead of the approaching cold
front. No thunder has developed as of yet within this line of
showers...but still cannot rule out the possibility of some isold
elevated thunder tonight as this line of convection increases in
areal coverage and intensity thanks to deeper moisture surging
northward into Michigan. Temps will remain well above freezing
tonight across our entire CWA...ranging from the upper 30s in
Eastern Upper Michigan to near 50 from M-72 south...so any precip
will remain all rain. Wind speeds will strengthen just ahead of the
cold front...with south winds gusting to 20 to 30 kts.

Cold front will sweep thru Michigan on Tuesday...bringing precip and
thunder chances to an end from west to east by afternoon. We will
likely see some sun behind the cold front during the afternoon as
well as significantly drier air arrives. Temps will actually cool
just a bit throughout the day as CAA commences. Winds will shift to
the SW behind the front and will further strengthen...gusting to 25
to 35 kts.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Tuesday night through Thursday)
Issued at 333 PM EST Mon Mar 6 2017

...Becoming Windy Tuesday night into Wednesday...

High Impact Weather Potential...Winds could gust past 40 mph along
the Lakes Michigan and Superior shorelines Tuesday night into
Wednesday.

Pattern Synopsis/Forecast...Storm system moves to just west of
Hudson Bay 00z/Wed, with the cold front well west of the forecast
area, and a secondary cold front just entering W Lake Superior. Sfc
temperatures will begin to fall as the cold advection starts in. The
really cold air isn't expected to get into the area, until closer to
12z/wed. By 18z/wed the 850 mb temperatures are around -12c in NC
Lower and -14c in E Upper. So will be expecting some LES as the WNW
winds and the 850-700 mb layer rh is around 80% add to the 13c Delta
T in N Lake Michigan. Models suggests that the moisture drains out
of the Upper Great Lakes by 12z/Thu limiting the LES to mainly areas
in E Upper where there is the better instability. The limiting fetch
as the winds turn more toward the W over N Lake Michigan, but good
fetch, for portions of E Upper, but wouldnt' be surprised if the
bands are more in Ontario north of Sault, Canada.

Primary Forecast Concerns...Southwest winds in N Lake Michigan in
the evening Tuesday night, could be 40+ mph, but think that it
remains below wind advisory criteria. CVX SREF plume diagram from
the SPC website shows the average 10m wind at 18z/Wed, around 30
knots. So 40+ mph gusts aren't out of the realm of possibilities.
The upper range of the SREF members is around 35 knots. So the next
shift may need to watch for the model changes and the need for a
wind advisory (45+mph). PLN, FKS, and SJX show similar diagrams.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Monday)
Issued at 333 PM EST Mon Mar 6 2017

A rather progressive pattern with persistent northwesterly flow will
filter in 850mb temperatures between -16 to -25c through Saturday
evening, producing lake effect snow chances for the common snow belt
areas of northwest lower and eastern upper Michigan. High pressure
will move overhead late Saturday night into Sunday morning and may
provide a short time of precipitation-free weather until an area of
developing low pressure over the central Great Plains begins it's
approach to the Great Lakes region and provides the next chances of
snow showers to the forecast area ending the weekend and lasting
into the beginning of the next work week.

Temperatures will remain in the mid 20s to low 30s throughout the
forecast period, while lows will be cold, in the single digits above
zero to low teens.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday afternoon)
Issued at 1223 PM EST Mon Mar 6 2017

Mainly MVFR conditions will further deteriorate to IFR this
evening as deep moisture surges northward ahead of low pressure
lifting NE out of the Plains and into Central Canada. Rain
showers will increase in areal coverage and intensity with the

Issued at 333 PM EST Mon Mar 6 2017

Southerly flow/WAA will continue to strengthen across the Western
Great Lakes region tonight in advance of deep low pressure
developing over the Northern Plains. Winds and waves will further
strengthen to gale warning criteria tonight and Tuesday as a tight
low level pressure gradient remains over our area...even in the wake
of the cold front. Chances of precip will increase tonight as deep
moisture surges northward ahead of deepening low pressure and
associated cold front...but will come to an end by Tuesday afternoon
in the wake of the cold front as much drier air arrives.
