Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
144 PM EDT Sat Nov 3 2018

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1017 AM EDT Sat Nov 3 2018

Scattered light lake effect rain and snow showers continue across
northern lower Michigan. Surface high pressure lurking just
upstream, and should eventually put an end to the lake processes
as it builds overhead this afternoon. Even some aggressive
clearing just to our west, and this dry air should help scatter
out at least some of our clouds out this afternoon. Temperatures
will remain a few degrees below normal, with afternoon readings in
the lower to middle 40s.

&&

.NEAR TERM...(Today through Tonight)
Issued at 318 AM EDT Sat Nov 3 2018

High impact weather potential: None.

Pattern synopsis and forecast:

Cloudy and cool conditions continue across the region, while spits
of light lake effect persist in the N/NW flow regimes, due to
sufficient overlake instability with H8 temps around -6C and deep
enough low level moisture. Nrn Michigan is stuck between two areas
of low pressure, one out in lee of the Rockies, and the other
lifting through New England. While there was little to no forcing in
our neck of the woods, deep layer -divQ was more impressive than
anything out to our west, with DPVA/WAA/jet dynamics and low level
convergence underneath steep mid level lapse rates, leading to
showers and even some thunderstorms.

A pretty quiet day on tap, with the thermal/moisture regimes
continuing to bring light lake effect to the NW flow regimes, at
least through the morning. There is a weak area of high pressure
that will cross through the day/evening. Fcst soundings suggest a
lowering inversion with WAA above the low level moisture, to
gradually lead to more drying and at least a little time for some
later day sunshine. Skies will increase in mid and upper level
clouds later tonight and toward daybreak, in advance of the
aforementioned low pressure to our west, despite the strongest
forcing from the storm system being over the Mississippi valley at
daybreak.

Highs in the lower half of the 40s again today, with lows tonight in
the upper 20s to lower 30s.

.SHORT TERM...(Sunday through Monday)
Issued at 318 AM EDT Sat Nov 3 2018

High Impact Weather Potential: Windy conditions with Sunday's system.

The next shortwave pivots out of the northern plains toward the
Great Lakes on Sunday, becoming slightly negatively tilted as it
does so. At the surface a 1032 high pushes east, and the pressure
gradient tightens as a surface low moves out of the central plains
and makes a sharp turn north toward western Lake Superior. A stout
low level jet (with values between 50 and 60 kts) push deeper
moisture and milder air north over Michigan. Gale force winds will
be prevalent over the lakes into Sunday night. Over land winds could
gust into the upper 20s. Isentropic ascent ahead of the warm front
along with DivQ will aid in precipitation production throughout the
day. Sunday morning will start as wet snow for much of the higher
terrain until WAA pushes wet bulb zero heights upward; changing the
snow over to rain from south to north through the morning. Continued
forcing and deeper moisture rotating around the upper level low will
keep precip going through Sunday night into Monday morning. The
pressure gradient starts to relax Monday afternoon, giving us a
brief reprieve before the next system moves in. Highs on Monday will
be in the upper 40s and low 50s. By the evening a Colorado low will
be swinging north through Missouri toward Michigan. The
precipitation shield from this next system will be edging into the
southwestern portions of the CWA overnight Monday.

.LONG TERM...(Monday night through Friday)
Issued at 318 AM EDT Sat Nov 3 2018

Forecast concerns: Strong system could bring more rain and wind
Tuesday.

Models are coming into a bit better agreement with a strong Colorado
low pressure moving north-northeast through the lower peninsula
through the day Tuesday. Rain with this system could be heavy given
the amount of forcing and moisture available. Gale force winds will
again be possible with this during the Tuesday timeframe. Lake
effect snow could prevail in northwest flow Wednesday behind the
exiting storm system as H850 temperature fall to near -8 C.
Temperatures start the week mild near 50 degrees for most, but the
Tuesday system ushers in a cold shot of air that will send high
temperatures falling into the 30s by late week.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday afternoon)
Issued at 138 PM EDT Sat Nov 3 2018

Current widespread low end VFR to MVFR producing overcast expected
to eventually mix out this afternoon. High and mid level clouds
will be on the increase tonight from southwest to northeast. Light
rain will develop from that same direction Sunday morning.
Current thought is VFR conditions will continue with both cigs
remaining elevated and limited vis restrictions. Light north to
northwest winds this afternoon will veer to east/southeast tonight
and Sunday morning. Wind speeds will be on the increase Sunday
morning, becoming a bit gusty in the process.

.MARINE...
Issued at 318 AM EDT Sat Nov 3 2018

Fairly quiet weather today with just some more spits of light lake
effect, as cold low level air continues to result in overlake
instability. The region is stuck between two areas of low pressure
with weak high pressure set to cross today. The main weather will be
a robust area of low pressure that will approach late tonight,
ramping up with expected gale force wind gusts Sunday into Sunday
night, with rains overspreading the Great Lakes. Thus, a gale watch
has been issued. Another strong storm system is expected on Tuesday
with another round of potential gales.
