Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
320 AM EST Mon Nov 27 2017

.NEAR TERM...(Today through Tonight)
Issued at 320 AM EST Mon Nov 27 2017

...Above normal temps, especially tonight...

High impact weather potential...none.

Though a surface cold front has barely exited the forecast area to
the se, we are already transitioning back to warm advection at
850mb. Surface high pressure will transit northern MI this morning,
with more emphatic warm advection/southerly flow after that. Not a
lot of moisture to be had in this pattern either. Clouds/temps the
primary concerns.

Stratocu (with both synoptic and lake contributions) covers most
areas north of M-32, with some streamers poking into TVC/HTL. Sault
Ontario is reporting an occasional flurry, with no precip noted
elsewhere. Ongoing nw flow will weaken and disappear this morning,
giving way to ssw 1000-850mb winds by late afternoon. Today will be
superficially similar to yesterday, with a trend toward decreasing
cloud cover from south to north as the day proceeds, and much more
cloud cover north of M-68 vs south. Any flurries in Chip Co early
this morning should fade away quickly with loss of onshore flow.

Max temps from mid 30s north of M-28 to mid/upper 40s MBL/Frankfort.

Next cold front will be marching across MN/WI/upper MI tonight.
Ahead of this front, warm advection strengthens. The associated
lowering inversion heights may keep some shallow stratocu trapped in
northern sections of the forecast area tonight. In addition, said
warm advection will support some mid and high clouds, again more
north than south. Negligible precip chances.

Temps won't drop off more than 3-5 degrees this evening before
reversing course. Places west of TVC could well be near 50f by
sunrise Tuesday.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Tuesday through Wednesday)
Issued at 320 AM EST Mon Nov 27 2017

...Mild Tuesday; cooler but mostly sunny Wednesday...

High Impact Weather Potential...None.

Pattern Synopsis/Forecast...Low pressure tracking into Hudson Bay
will drag a cold front through the Upper Great Lakes on Tuesday,
with an associated mid level shortwave pushing through Tuesday
evening. Cold air advection will ramp up overnight, but only for a
short time as the colder airmass is quickly displaced downstream on
Wednesday by a broad upper ridge sliding overhead. Meanwhile surface
high pressure of respectable strength will drift across Michigan
during the day.

Primary Forecast Concerns...Temperatures and shower potential on
Tuesday.

Recent model guidance has come in a little less impressive in terms
of Tuesday's potential warmth. Two main limiting factors are to
blame. First, the cold front looks to cross northern Michigan a
little earlier than previously expected. Second, low level
temperatures no longer look as anomalously warm as they had earlier.
That being said, Tuesday will still be a mild day by late November
standards for northern Michigan. Still expect to see plenty of
readings in the low 50s across northern Lower, but thinking less of
a chance for any mid 50s (mainly near Saginaw Bay). Winds will be
breezy ahead of the front with gusts of 20-25 mph possible through
early afternoon.

Respectable moisture just out ahead of the cold front with PWATs
around 0.75 inches, but it looks like the front will struggle to
keep pace with and hence tap into that plume of better moisture.
Moreover, not a lot of forcing associated with the front as it
crosses northern Michigan, with frontogenesis looking to materialize
a little more once the front works its way downstate. Likely not
everyone will receive rain from this system, and those that do will
see very little. Dry weather and clearing skies expected heading
into Wednesday as strong high pressure builds into the region.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Sunday)
Issued at 320 AM EST Mon Nov 27 2017

High impact weather potential...Minimal.

Next system will arrive late Wednesday night into Thursday as a
potent trough crosses the region. With plenty of moisture to work
with, this system looks to bring a decent chance of widespread
precipitation to northern Michigan. Precip types at onset are
looking a little trickier with warm air advection developing a warm
nose aloft Wednesday night just as the low levels become saturated.
This could lead to a brief period of mixed precipitation for some of
the higher elevations late Wednesday night through just after
daybreak Thursday until surface temperatures climb above freezing.
But current confidence in Wednesday night's thermal profiles and low
temperatures is rather low, so will have to see how things trend
over the next 24 hours. Most of the precip with this system will
fall as rain during the day Thursday, mixing with a bit of snow
Thursday night as the system departs.

Thereafter generally dry and quiet weather is expected with only
passing precip chances next weekend from a couple weak disturbances.
Temperatures will remain near or a little above normal heading into
the first few days of December.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Monday night)
Issued at 1040 PM EST Sun Nov 26 2017

Cold front continues to slip down through northern lower Michigan.
No precipitation with the front...just the return of MVFR cloud
cover to all terminal sites for tonight. Cloud cover will erode
again on Monday as winds turn back into the south and warmer air
again makes inroads into the region.

Otherwise...gustier NW winds linger out there but will weaken as
we go through the night. Winds turn into the south and increase
again through the day into Monday night. Strong winds aloft and an
increasing temperature inversion will lead to LLWS conditions
Monday night.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 320 AM EST Mon Nov 27 2017

Nw winds will continue to weaken this morning as weak high
pressure builds in. Southerly winds will develop behind the high
by late afternoon, and will ramp up further tonight. Marine
headlines will be needed yet again tonight, with gales a
possibility in spots, Lake MI in particular.
