Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
319 AM EDT Tue May 2 2017

.NEAR TERM...(Today through Tonight)
Issued at 319 AM EDT Tue May 2 2017

...Getting somewhat less soggy...

High impact weather potential...minor river flooding continues
on the Rifle.

Stacked low continues to spin over central/eastern upper MI. Several
spokes of energy, and associated shower activity, are rotating
around the low. One batch of precip has just exited eastern upper
MI to the north, while another now covers a good portion of
northern lower MI. Precip trends remain the main concern.

Today...low will continue to lift ne, though that process
accelerates today as it feels faster westerlies at the base of
another upper trof over ne Canada. The mid-level low will open up as
the day proceeds, with the remnant reaching far western Quebec.

Two primary areas of showers are expected today. The 1st is ongoing
over northern lower MI (and extends back to near GRB), and will
spend the 1st half of the day progressing eastward to Lake Huron.
The 2nd is on the far western edge of the deeper wraparound
moisture, over western Superior and nearby land areas. This will
cross eastern upper and far northern lower MI in the midday to mid
afternoon hours. Precip coverage with this last area will become
somewhat limited as mid-level low opens and deformation wanes;
pops will thus be somewhat spotty. Drier air will finally make
substantial inroads this afternoon/early evening across upper MI,
as the low departs and high pressure builds over Hudson Bay and
western Superior. Anticipate decreasing cloud cover late in the
day in eastern upper MI.

Quite cool for early May, with 850mb temps hovering near or just
below 0C, and abundant cloud cover for the majority of the day. Max
temps in the 40s to around 50f.

Tonight...a final (weak) shortwave trof slides across northern MI in
the evening, with considerable drying behind. Could need a mention
of some sprinkles in n central and ne lower MI in the evening, but
that should be it for precip. Surface high pressure builds into
western upper MI and central Lake MI, contributing to considerable
clearing. Models do want to hang onto sub-900mb moisture along the
lengthy nnw fetch that extends from central Superior into nw lower
MI, and will have a bit more cloud cover in the TVC area than
elsewhere overnight.

Min temps near 30f to the mid 30s.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Wednesday through Thursday)
Issued at 319 AM EDT Tue May 2 2017

...Drier and warmer...

High impact weather potential...None.

Pattern Synopsis/Forecast...Surface high pressure will work its way
across Lower Michigan on Wednesday, complemented by some weak
amplitude ridging aloft. Under a very dry airmass, expect plenty of
sunshine over northern Michigan and more moderate daytime
temperatures with highs through the 50s. Wednesday night, attention
shifts upstream to a digging mid level trough that will carve out a
closed upper low and deepening surface low over the lower Ohio
Valley. This system will continue progressing northeast through the
Ohio Valley on Thursday, with a band of WAA/isentropic lift
providing a chance of showers across the far southeastern APX
forecast area Thursday afternoon. Meanwhile, a weak mid-level
shortwave trough crossing the western U.P. Thursday morning will
struggle to generate additional showers as it encounters a narrow
ribbon of very dry air over northern Michigan.

Primary Forecast Concerns...Still quite a bit of spread among the
models with regard to showers possibly overspreading our far
southeast Thursday afternoon. Regardless, the showers would have to
overcome some dry air over northern Michigan. PWATs on Wednesday
over the area will be around 0.2" and will be somewhat slow to
increase on Thursday across our southeast until the WAA develops
aloft. Forecast soundings show the mid/upper levels moistening up
decently by afternoon, but the low levels will take some time to
saturate. Several SREF members retain very dry low levels until
Thursday evening. Thus, think the GFS, ECMWF, and Canadian are a
little eager to bring showers into our far southeast during the day
Thursday, though the trend has been for an earlier arrival. Gut
feeling is that it may actually take until later afternoon or early
evening before the low levels moisten sufficiently.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Monday)
Issued at 319 AM EDT Tue May 2 2017

High impact weather potential...None.

How dry the airmass remains over northern Michigan and the impact
this would have on shower chances is the main forecast concern
heading into Thursday night and Friday. The NAM retains dry PWATs
around 0.3" across much of northern Lower through Friday morning,
whereas the GFS is closer to around 0.5" and even higher towards
Saginaw Bay. The Canadian had been drier and more in line with the
NAM, but the 02.00Z run has brought it more in line with the moister
GFS. At any rate, the impact would only be light showers generally
east of a line from around Cadillac to Rogers City through Friday
afternoon.

Friday night into Saturday, the system will absorb a shortwave
dropping south from central Canada and morph into a massive cut-off
low rotating over the Northeast and southern Quebec through the
weekend and beyond. This may result in some light showers brushing
eastern Michigan at times on Saturday, but a large surface high over
central Canada will build into the Upper Great Lakes Sunday into
Monday, keeping the low and its showers at bay to our east.

Friday into the weekend will turn breezy with a tight pressure
gradient developing between the low over the Northeast and a surface
ridge building into Wisconsin. The northerly winds will also keep
temperatures a bit below seasonal normals with highs generally
around 50 and lows in the low to mid 30s.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Tuesday evening)
Issued at 1039 PM EDT Mon May 1 2017

Deep low pressure over Wisconsin this evening will rotate up into
Canada late overnight into Tuesday. Several waves of light showers
will rotate through the region through Tuesday, before things dry
out late Tuesday and Tuesday night.

Largely VFR conditions across northern lower Michigan at the
moment. But CIGS lower back to MVFR later tonight and persist
through Tuesday as those showers moving through. Southwesterly
winds tonight veering westerly and eventually northwesterly on
Tuesday with some gustiness at times.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 319 AM EDT Tue May 2 2017

Elongated low pressure stretches from central upper MI ene-ward
into Ontario. This low is moving slowly ne-ward, but will move
faster as the day and night proceed. Gusty w to nw will be seen
into tonight, lingering longest on Huron. Additional advisories
are likely, will assess the details of that shortly. High
pressure will build in from the west late tonight into Wednesday,
with much quieter conditions marine- wise.

&&

.APX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
MI...NONE.
