Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
316 PM EDT Fri Oct 6 2017

.NEAR TERM...(Tonight through Saturday)
Issued at 313 PM EDT Fri Oct 6 2017

...Showers, perhaps a rumble of thunder, tonight and Saturday...

High impact weather potential...Gale conditions Saturday afternoon
and evening on some nearshore waters. A few non-severe thunderstorms
tonight and Saturday.

Pattern synopsis/forecast/details...A rather quiet and seasonably
mild day across the northwoods as surface ridging has centered
across the region. Quite the cloud gradient however, with mostly
clear skies across eastern upper into the tip of northern lower,
with plenty of mid and upper level clouds the further south one
goes. These clouds are part of an intensifying lower Lakes thermal
gradient and increasing moisture advection back across the Corn
Belt...all tied to emergence of strong shortwave trough into the
High Plains. Shower coverage really starting to ramp up to our
southwest along nose of rapidly organizing low level jet and within
zone of intense moisture convergence.

Lower Lakes thermal gradient/developing warm front will begin its
rapid journey north this evening through the overnight, made to do
so by that intensifying 50+ knot low level jet ahead of sharp trough
axis. Attendant ramped-up isentropic ascent and strong moisture
advection (precipitable water values up and over 1.50 inches...three
to four standard deviations above normal!) will kick off one or more
band of showers that will work their way northeast across northern
Michigan with time. Strongest ascent/moisture convergence departs
southeast areas rather quickly overnight, and very possible areas
down near Saginaw Bay are shower free by morning. While rain will
come down heavy at times, transient nature of showers should keep
rainfall amounts on the order of a quarter to three-quarters of an
inch (heaviest northwest). Simple breadth of moisture advection and
low level jet may drum up a rumble of thunder or two, but definitely
nothing severe given very meager elevated instability profiles.

Dry slot continues to punch northeast Saturday morning as low
pressure does the same into northwest Wisconsin. Best shower
coverage focuses across the northern third of the area during the
morning where isentropic ascent and moisture convergence is
maximized. Could see several hours of little activity across much of
northern lower, waiting on arrival of cold front later in the
day/evening to kick off more widespread showers. Despite being in
the warm sector, weak mid-level lapse rates and plenty of cloud
cover will keep instability very limited. Once again though,
dynamics may be enough to produce a few elevated thunderstorms.
Additional average rainfall totals in excess of a half an inch
appears likely across eastern upper Michigan, with somewhat lower
totals for northern lower.

Increasingly gusty pre-frontal southerly winds will bring with them
some very mild weather, with highs expected to range through the 70s
for much of northern lower, and just a bit cooler north of the big
bridge. If more clearing is realized than currently expected, areas
on the south side of the sunrise side may make a run at 80 degrees.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Saturday night through Monday)
Issued at 313 PM EDT Fri Oct 6 2017

...Rain ends Saturday night...

High Impact Weather Potential: Minimal as lingering rain and gusty
winds diminish Saturday night.

Pattern Forecast: Well advertised area of low pressure across central
Ontario Saturday evening with an attendant cold front draped across
northern Michigan will continue to shift eastward through the
evening and early overnight hours. Any lingering rain showers are
expected to come to an end by Sunday morning with high pressure
settling overhead through early next week.

Primary Forecast Concerns/Challenges: Increasing widespread rain
chances Friday night into Saturday.

Lingering showers, most numerous during the evening hours, are
expected to end from west to east across the forecast area Saturday
night as the system's cold front continues to rapidly trek well off
to our east. By Sunday morning, partly to mostly sunny skies are
anticipated across northern Michigan with a relaxing pressure
gradient aiding to lighter winds across the majority of the area.
Despite the cold frontal passage Saturday evening, above normal
temps are anticipated on Sunday with highs ranging from the upper
60s north to the mid-upper 70s near Saginaw Bay.

A similar story is expected Monday with above normal early autumn
temperatures under partly to mostly sunny skies as high pressure
remains in control. High temps similar to Sunday...varying from the
mid-upper 60s across eastern Upper to the low-mid 70s elsewhere.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Monday night through Friday)
Issued at 313 PM EDT Fri Oct 6 2017

High pressure will bring a rather quiet extended period. Normal
temperatures this time of year are in the mid to upper 50s, with
temperatures next week expected to run a bit above that, approaching
the mid 60s by Friday.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Saturday morning)
Issued at 647 AM EDT Fri Oct 6 2017

VFR today, decreasing to MVFR/IFR with LLWS late tonight.

Low pressure in the central high plains will gradually organize as
it moves east and then northeast thru tonight, ending up in
western WI by Sat morning. After a quiet day today, warm/moist air
will move north into the region tonight. Showers will come along
with it, along with lower cigs/vsbys. MVFR to IFR conditions will
develop at all TAF sites tonight.

Light e to se surface winds today, continuing into tonight. LLWS
late tonight, with southerly winds rapidly increasing just off
the surface.

Issued at 313 PM EDT Fri Oct 6 2017

Return to active weather this weekend, as low pressure
strengthens while passing to our west and north. Light winds to
start the period, but southerly flow will start to ramp up overnight
and Saturday ahead of the low. Cold front goes thru late Saturday,
with continued gusty wsw winds behind it. Low end gale gusts
expected to develop on northern Lake Michigan, with gale warning
issued with this nearshore release. Not as confident on gale gusts
on Lake Huron, with latest trends suggesting winds will fall just
short of criteria. Inherited watch will remain given lingering
uncertainty. Small craft advisories issued for all other waters.
Wind speeds are expected to decrease Saturday night and Sunday.
