Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
259 AM EDT Mon Apr 3 2017

.NEAR TERM...(Today through Tonight)
Issued at 255 AM EDT Mon Apr 3 2017

...Soaking rains later today and tonight...

High Impact Weather Potential: Need to monitor river response.

Pattern Synopsis/Forecast: No surprises, with a split flow dominated
regime found across NOAM at this early hour. Easily most prominent
feature is the wrapped up shortwave trough rotating northeast across
Oklahoma within the southern stream. Deep moisture transport and
strong dynamics really kicking off quite the severe weather and
heavy rain event for the lower Mississippi Valley, with Louisiana
particularly hard hit with very heavy rains this past evening. Far
northern extent of this moisture plume has made its way into our
neck of the woods, with just enough forcing and moisture convergence
to overcome dry low levels and allow some very light showers to
reach the surface.

Now, that moisture advection will ramp up significantly heading
through the next 12 to 24 hours as that southern stream wave pivots
northeast, reaching Michigan by later this evening. Subtle
interaction with a weaker northern stream wave rotating out of the
northern plains will only enhance the lower level response, driving
a fairly robust (and deepening) area of low pressure across lower
Michigan very late tonight. Initial warm air advection response will
be replaced by rather vigorous deformation/fgen forcing, and when
coupled with precipitable water values spiking to near one inch
levels, looks to set the stage for a good soaking rain event later
today and tonight.

Primary forecast concerns: Rain evolution and totals through tonight.

Details: Shower evolution somewhat a challenge today, especially
this morning. Intial surge of waa driven light showers will have
passed east by sunrise, leaving behind perhaps a few sprinkles
before shower threat begins to ramp up again this afternoon. No
doubt pop amendments will be needed as this light precip evolution
is better realized. Rain threat looks to ramp up significantly very
late today, with widespread rain, at times moderate to heavy,
continuing tonight. Heaviest rain potential expected to remain along
and south of the Straits, with pattern recognition and placement of
mid level features strongly supporting some enhanced fgen response
within broader dynamics. Could see much of northern lower tip the
scales at near half an inch of rain by morning, with some areas
perhaps making a run at an inch or more where fgen enhancement is
maximized. Nearly all the thunder threat stays well south of our
area, although suppose an elevated convective core may produce a
rumble of thunder or two in our southern areas. Definitely not a big
deal for sure.

As for those rivers...most are now well below bank full, and do
believe they should be able to handle this upcoming rain event. Of
course, those typical more responsive locales (Manistee river near
Sherman and the Rifle River near Sterling) will need monitoring, but
do believe even these will stay below flood stage.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Tuesday through Wednesday night)
Issued at 255 AM EDT Mon Apr 3 2017

...Rain Ends Tuesday then a Brief Break then Rain then Snow...

High Impact Weather Potential...

Pattern Synopsis/Forecast...The models are in good agreement with
the track of the sfc low starting near C Lake Huron Tuesday morning
and moving into Canada by 21z. The ECMWF and the GFS have similar
strength and position through 00z/Wed. This should take the rain out
of the region around 21z/Tues. High pressure then builds into the
region and dries out the region for Tuesday night into Wednesday
morning. Wednesday afternoon the next system moves up out of the
Southern Plains and into the Lower Ohio Valley by 00z/Thu. This
brings precipitation, barely to the southern border of the forecast
area (the M-55 corridor).  The GFS would bring a deformation axis
that would set up on the east side of the state between 06z and 12z.
while the ECMWF is now much more south with its deformation axis in
SE Lower, with little precipitation getting into our forecast area.

Primary Forecast Concerns...The heavier rain threat of yesterday's
runs looks to now change to the possibility of moderate to heavy
stripe of snow Thursday morning, after 12z. The uncertainty lies
with the ECMWF showing a more southerly track, with a less developed
sfc low and a much less cut off 500 mb low. Looks like a mention of
snow in HWOAPX will be needed to convey to the public this is one to
watch. The SREF plumes and the GEFS plumes from the 21z and 18z
runs, respectively, would suggest a very wide spread of snow
amounts. Also of note, that the 00z run is much further south than
the 18z run of the GFS, but in line with the 12z ECMWF. However, now
the 00z ECMWF is much more south, and takes most of the snow from
our area.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Thursday through Sunday)
Issued at 255 AM EDT Mon Apr 3 2017

High Impact Weather Potential...A spring storm that has the
possibility of producing a heavier stripe of snow through N Lower
Wednesday night into Thursday afternoon.

Extended...The spring storm from yesterday's run looks like it now
starts about 12 hours earlier and has the possibility of some
heavier snow that starts overnight Wednesday and continues north
