Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
347 AM EDT Fri Aug 4 2017

.NEAR TERM...(Today through Tonight)
Issued at 347 AM EDT Fri Aug 4 2017

...Early taste of fall...

High Impact Weather Potential...A few non-severe thunderstorms
through early evening. Gales and high swim risks on the lakes as
well as waterspout potential.

Pattern Synopsis/Forecast...Despite the calendar...weather will
take a decidedly fall-like turn for the next few days. Overnight
water vapor imagery and surface analysis reveals a somewhat deep
closed mid level low over northern Wisconsin. Attending surface
low is over far northern Green Bay/central upper Michigan as of
07Z with occluding front just coming onshore of western lower
Michigan. Widespread showers/storms have pressed on to the
north/east as pronounced mid level dry slot punches into the
region. But we still have scattered convection out there
particularly across northern Lake Michigan along the nose of the
incoming dry slot.

Surface low/occluding front advances across northern Michigan
this morning...ushering in a sharply cooler airmass that will
stick around for a few days. Mid level trough slowly swings
through the state this afternoon through tonight. Initially...spotty
shower activity will remain the rule for the next several hours
as the mid level dry slot slides through the region.
However...wrap around/deformation axis and more widespread showers
(seen upstream over the western U.P. and NW Wisconsin) will be
slipping into the area this afternoon and sticking around through
a good part of tonight. Shower chances will be enhanced by daytime
heating/terrain and perhaps a little lake contribution. So...plan
on ramping PoPs back up into the categorical range this afternoon
into tonight...particularly across northwest/north-central lower
Michigan and eastern upper Michigan.

Primary Forecast Concerns...mainly of the marine variety. Post
frontal gusty winds will develop through the morning and
especially this afternoon...leading to gales and small craft
headlines on the lakes...and a high swim risk for NW lower
Michigan shoreline areas. A few thunderstorms also remain possible
as colder air aloft overspreads the region...and still cannot rule
out the possibility of waterspouts on Lake Michigan owing to
modest over water instability and sharp cyclonic curvature in the
flow. Don't think the severe thunderstorm threat is very high
today...although with freezing levels/wet-bulb zero heights
dropping to around 8K feet...small hail/gusty winds will be
possible.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Saturday through Sunday)
Issued at 347 AM EDT Fri Aug 4 2017

...Showery second half of the weekend for some...

High Impact Weather Potential: Slight chance of thunderstorms across
northern Lower on Sunday.

Pattern Forecast: Sharp upper level trough evident across the Great
Lakes early this Friday morning will gradually pivot northeast into
Quebec throughout the day Saturday. However, broad troughing will
continue through the remainder of the weekend before heights begin
to rise in earnest by Monday afternoon. A quick-moving mid level
shortwave and attendant surface reflection will race across the
forecast area during the day Sunday, renewing shower chances for the
second half of the upcoming weekend.

Primary Forecast Concerns/Challenges: Fairly quiet weather is
anticipated Saturday as departing area of low pressure continues to
shift lingering wrap around moisture/showers over southeast Ontario
into Quebec. Weak north-south oriented ridge of high pressure should
aid to yield mostly sunny skies across far southern locales with
more clouds lingering across the Tip of the Mitt/eastern Upper.

Short term forecast focus shifts to sunday as one shortwave in a
series of fast-moving perturbation will cross the southern Great
Lakes and Ohio Valley. Tightest baroclinic zone is progged to remain
well to our south (across N. IA eastward through N. OH), but the
risk for showers will still expand into parts of northern Lower MI
with time. Perhaps a few early day showers near MBL/CAD gradually
expanding north and eastward through the remainder of the day,
although the bulk of wet weather should be limited to areas south of
M-32. Plenty of clouds expected for the southern half of the area
throughout the day with more sunshine prevailing across eastern
Upper.

High temperatures both days this weekend expected to remain below
normal...ranging through the lower to middle 70s (some 5 or so
degrees below climo).

&&

.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Thursday)
Issued at 347 AM EDT Fri Aug 4 2017

High impact weather potential: None.

High pressure building into the region to start the work week will
clear out any lingering showers through the day Monday and continue
to keep the area dry through at least the middle of the week. High
temperatures will gradually rebound throughout the week with highs
approaching 80 degrees by Wednesday. Beyond midweek, forecast
confidence diminishes as guidance continues to show little
consistency with regards to the strength, timing and location of a
cutoff low near the midsection of the country. At this juncture,
will continue to return PoPs to the forecast late in the day
Wednesday into Thursday, but fully expect refinement over the next
several days.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday night)
Issued at 1245 AM EDT Fri Aug 4 2017

Widespread showers/storms have exited the CWA at this
juncture...with just some isolated convection remaining. Rest of
the night will be relatively quiet although occasional MVFR cigs
can be expected.

On Friday...deep upper low will slide across northern Michigan.
Colder air and wrap around moisture/forcing will bring more
widespread MVFR conditions...with showers through Friday evening.
In addition...gusty SW winds anticipated Friday...veering NW
Friday night.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 347 AM EDT Fri Aug 4 2017

Gusty SW-NW winds develop today as a strong low pressure system
slides through the northern lakes region into Ontario. Strongest
winds will be felt on Lake Michigan where gale force gusts are
anticipated today. Gale gusts become possible on Lake Huron late
tonight into Saturday. In addition...waterspouts will be possible
this afternoon/evening on Lake Michigan.
