Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
342 PM EDT Mon Mar 20 2017

.NEAR TERM...(Tonight)
Issued at 339 PM EDT Mon Mar 20 2017

...Falling temperatures expected Tuesday with cold front passage...

High Impact Weather Potential: Minimal

Pattern Synopsis/Forecast: Current surface/composite analysis shows
an old cold front/surface trough moving across the forecast area at
early afternoon...extending south to a 1012mb low over northeast
Missouri.  Narrow west-east oriented surface ridge axis follows this
trough...with a more substantial cold front over far northwest
Ontario/southern portions of Manitoba and Saskatchewan.  Elongated
potential vorticity anomaly supporting said cold front extends from
James Bay west along the cold frontal baroclinic zone then arcs
northwestward across central Saskatchewan/northern Alberta.  Water
vapor imagery shows a decent looking vorticity center embedded
within this PV anomaly digging southeast across Saskatchewan toward
Lake Winnipeg.  Despite a broad area of cold advection/isentropic
descent occurring across Wisconsin/Upper Michigan...band of broken
light rain showers stretched from eastern Upper southwest into
northeast Wisconsin...driven primarily by low/mid level
frontogenesis occurring along the northern edge of steeper mid level
lapse rates (e.g., 12Z DVN sounding)...and some weakly difluent flow
aloft.  Drier air is spreading southeast behind the cloud/
precipitation band across northern Minnesota/northern Lake Superior.

Primary Forecast Concerns: Light showers will continue to advance
across northern Lower Michigan through mid evening...with some hints
that things may linger around Saginaw Bay through midnight or so.
Skies are expected to clear behind this cloud band and ahead of
approaching cold front and Lake Winnipeg vorticity center that will
spin its way across Lake Superior overnight.  NAM-WRF/RAP soundings
hinting at some fog/stratus development this evening along the St.
Mary's River...but looks suspiciously like a model-induced drop in
temperatures where the guidance thinks ice cover is located on the
lakes (seeing these cold spots in low temperatures across Whitefish
Bay/St. Mary's River as well as across and west of the Straits into
northern Lake Michigan where observed ice cover is located).

Vorticity center crossing Lake Superior may bring a brief shot of
light snow showers/flurries to eastern Upper toward daybreak.  This
will be followed by the cold front and a quick drop in temperatures
across Lake Superior/Upper Michigan during the morning (and early
high temperatures before the mercury drops during the afternoon).
Will also see an increasing in lake and diurnally induced cloud
cover and flurries/snow showers across the Upper Peninsula Tuesday
morning...then down into northwest Lower later Tuesday afternoon.
Gusty northwest winds also expected with arrival of cold
advection...with gusts 25-30+mph anticipated.  Should be a wide
range in temperatures Tuesday...with readings falling into the 20s
by late morning across eastern Upper...while temperatures are
expected to warm into the 40s across at least the southeast third of
the forecast area.

.SHORT TERM...(Tuesday and Wednesday)

...Brief Shot of Cold Air...

High Impact Weather Potential...Nothing.

Pattern Synopsis/Forecast...One last piece of arctic air will drop
into the Great Lakes/New England midweek in response to building
ridge over the plains.  850mb temperatures drop briefly to -18 to
-20c Tuesday night, only slowly recovering into the day on
Wednesday. No downstream blocking (much like this entire winter),
so this will be a quick cooldown followed by building heights/
warmer weather for the end of the week. Bone dry airmass with
modified arctic high pressure building southward into the Great
Lakes. Possibly some weakish north/northeast flow light lake
effect activity Tuesday night, but it won't amount to much.
Otherwise, not much in the way of sensible weather concerns. Great
radiational cooling set-up for midweek, so some very cold
overnight lows both Tuesday night and Wednesday, likely single
digits in many areas. If we had much in the way of snowcover left,
below zero readings would be more likely. Coldest day of the week
will be Wednesday, with many areas remaining in the 20s.

Thermal trough slides east by Thursday with quickly warming
temperatures aloft.  So after a cold start to the day, readings
likely working into the upper 30s to middle 40s.   A few warm air
advection mid clouds possible on Thursday, otherwise lots of
sunshine.

Primary Forecast Concerns...Very little.  Will have to see if we are
able to generate much of any lake effect snow showers Tuesday night,
given the incredibly dry boundary layer airmass.  The only other
forecast concern will be low temperatures - how low will they go?

&&

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Monday)
Issued at 339 PM EDT Mon Mar 20 2017

High Impact Weather Potential...Minor, but with the potential for a
wintry mix increasing Friday.

At upper levels, nearly zonal flow at 500mb will persist across the
Great Lakes through much of the forecast period, as a cutoff upper
low from the Plains lifts toward the Ohio Valley. The upper low will
exit east Monday, allowing a narrow ridge to redevelop over the
region to begin the upcoming work week. Mid level temps in this
pattern will warm from around -2c/-3c early Friday to generally
between 0c and +4c through the weekend, which should generate nearly
seasonal afternoon highs in the 40s across northern Michigan. At the
surface, a storm system organizing over the central Plains will lift
toward the Great Lakes Friday and Saturday. This system will become
nearly washed out over the Ohio Valley Sunday between two large
areas of high pressure, one near Hudson Bay and the second over the
Atlantic. This system will generate a period of wintry mix over
northern Michigan Friday through Sunday. High pressure near Hudson
Bay will then settle into the Great Lakes to begin the upcoming work
week, generating some sun and mild temperatures over northern
Michigan Monday.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday afternoon)
Issued at 149 PM EDT Mon Mar 20 2017

Band of mid clouds and scattered light rain showers will sweep
across northern Lower Michigan during the mid/late afternoon
hours...followed by clearing skies overnight. Expect winds to
increase Tuesday from the northwest as colder air will allow for
lake clouds to develop especially during the afternoon.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 339 PM EDT Mon Mar 20 2017

Cold advection behind a passing cold front will allow winds to ramp
up from the northwest starting Tuesday morning...which should result
in widespread Small Craft Advisory conditions within nearshore zones...
could be some gale force winds within the Straits to Thunder Bay
nearshore region on northern Lake Huron with coastally convergent
flow. Winds will begin to diminish Tuesday night...as high
pressure builds across the upper Great Lakes.
