Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Marquette MI
856 PM EDT Sun Apr 9 2017

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday)
Issued at 426 PM EDT SUN APR 9 2017

Water vapor imagery and RAP analysis show split flow across N
America. Northern stream troffing extends from nw of Hudson Bay into
Manitoba/northern Ontario while a southern stream shortwave trof is
over WY/CO. Lead energy ahead of the latter trof is over the central
Plains/Upper Mississippi Valley and is aiding a band of shra from SD
into nw Upper MI. At the sfc, a trof, aided by lake breeze, has
settled across Upper MI today and currently extends from eastern
Lake Superior across central Upper MI to low pres over ne Nebraska.
Cold front associated with the northern stream trof extends from
James Bay to SD. All of these features will be involved in a
complicated fcst for Upper MI during the short term. In the last hr
or so, convection has fired in the vcnty of the sfc trof from w
central WI into the eastern fcst area, pretty much as a number of
models had indicated. Although latest SPC analysis shows mlcapes of
less than 100j/kg, mucape values are now up around 500j/kg from
Menominee to Manistique.

Tonight, sfc trof across the area may drift se a bit during the
night. The approaching cold front to the nw will catch up to it by
12z Mon with the new consolidated boundary located roughly from far
eastern Upper MI to near Menominee. Meanwhile, stronger deep layer
forcing ahead of the approaching southern branch shortwave/sfc low
pres wave riding ene along the sfc trof will overspread the area. In
addition, right entrance of upper jet over northern Ontario and
sharpening low-mid level fgen down below will come into play. As a
result, ongoing expansion of pcpn will continue thru tonight. Taking
advantage of building instability from IA to ne WI, stronger
convection will be tied to the vcnty of the sfc trof while
strengthening fgen will support pcpn to the nw of the main
convective area. Mucapes of at least 1000j/kg nosing into southern
Upper MI tonight along with effective shear of at least 30kt will
support potential of organized storms. With wetbulb zero heights aob
10kft, there will be the possibility of large hail with the
strongest storms. With passage of cold front and strengthening n to
ne winds, it will turn sharply colder with temps falling back to the
mid 30s across the w and n central.

On Mon, cold front will only drift s as main southern stream
shortwave will still be off to the sw, moving from Nebraska in the
morning to the Upper Mississippi Valley by evening. This results in
another area of sharper deep layer forcing approaching in the aftn.
While better isentropic ascent/fgen shifts off to the ene,
approaching shortwave should work to maintain areas of -ra thru the
day. With cold front s of the fcst area by mid morning, temps will
generally remain steady thru the day. Brisk n to ne winds will add
to the chill. Column may become cold enough to support a mix with
snow over the w and nw in the aftn.

.LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday)
Issued at 319 PM EDT SUN APR 9 2017

Focused in on Mon night into Tue morning when mixed precip may be an
issue. Otherwise, left blended initialization unchanged as it
handled uncertain/insignificant weather satisfactorily.

For Mon night and Tue morning, an upper level disturbance will move
across the area, bringing forcing for precip to much or all of the
CWA. There is uncertainty in the strength, track and timing, which
then lead to uncertainty in precip time, timing, amounts, and
coverage. General idea is that better chances of a light
snow/freezing rain threat will exist over the northwestern half of
Upper MI, while the southeastern half will see better chances of a
rain/freezing rain mix. Confidence in thermal profiles, SFC temps,
and ice crystal presence make forecasting ptype quite difficult.
While elevated surfaces over the NW half could see around 0.10
inches of freezing rain Mon night into Tue morning, think that any
accumulations will largely non-impactful especially given that warm
ground temps will limit frozen precip accumulations on the ground.
Still plenty of uncertainty with amounts, so keep updated with later
forecasts.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Monday evening)
Issued at 849 PM EDT SUN APR 9 2017

VFR conditions will prevail initially at KIWD/KCMX/KSAW. Trof
stalling out over the Upper Great Lakes will be followed by a cold
front that will drop se, settling to the s of the area late tonight.
These features will bring deteriorating conditions to all terminals,
beginning first at KSAW this evening when MVFR cigs and sct -shra
should begin to develop in the vcnty of the trof. Drier low-
level air to the nw should allow VFR conditions to linger at
KCMX/KIWD even though shra should begin to develop in that area as
well. Following passing of cold front and arrival of shallow cold
air, conditions at KIWD/KCMX will fall to low MVFR or IFR
overnight thru Mon morning. At KSAW, IFR conditions should develop
by early overnight, then LIFR late tonight/Mon morning under
upsloping northerly winds. Isold TS will be possible tonight,
mainly at KSAW, closer to greater instability near and south of
trof. Included a mention of VCTS early this evening at KSAW but
otherwise left in out of the rest of the TAF sites. Winds will be
gusty to 20-30kt on Mon.
&&

.MARINE...(For the 4 PM Lake Superior forecast issuance)
Issued at 426 PM EDT SUN APR 9 2017

A low pres trof that has settled across Lake Superior will maintain
light winds under 15kt thru the evening. A cold front will then drop
across Lake Superior overnight with low pressure then tracking along
the front. This will result in quickly strengthening northeast winds
late tonight with gales to 35 knots likely late tonight into Mon
afternoon over at least the west half of Lake Superior. Over the
east half, expect occasional gusts to gale force. Winds will begin
to diminish slightly Mon night and then much more so on Tue as a
high pressure ridge approaches and then arrives Tue night. By Tue
evening, winds should be under 15kt across the lake. Although a low
pres trof should move across the area Wed night or Thu morning, it
will be weak, and winds may remain light, mostly under 15kt Wed/Thu.
