Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
322 AM EST Tue Nov 6 2018

.NEAR TERM...(Today through Tonight)
Issued at 318 AM EST Tue Nov 6 2018

High impact weather potential: Minimal.

Pattern synopsis and forecast:

Upper troughing was consuming the nrn/cntrl Plains as well as the
western Great Lakes early this morning. One embedded shortwave
was inducing sfc low pressure in srn Wisconsin and nrn IL, which
was moving northeast toward nrn Michigan. Forcing was fairly
impressive, with strong deep layer -divQ spreading north through
the srn Great Lakes. Great DPVA and warm/moist advection was
noticed, along with more than expected RUC analyzed upper level
dynamics from a 120+kt jet poking into the eastern Lakes. This was
resulting in widespread rains across nrn lower. Another shortwave
was seen dropping down the backside of the upper trough through
the Dakotas, as was associated with a weak sfc low reflection and
just some scattered much lighter precipitation.

The low pressure from srn WI/nrn IL will continue to lift NE through
the morning and early afternoon, crossing nrn Michigan. Ahead of
it, the aforementioned forcing and associated rainfall will impact
all of nrn Michigan, but mostly nrn lower. This will be the main
precipitation for the day, but there will be a lingering sfc
trough and associated low level convergence draped back across
mainly nrn lower again, for continued periodic rains, aided by
weaker vorticity maxima traversing the region. Periods of rain
continue through the night, as that secondary shortwave from the
Dakotas works into the western Great Lakes, out ahead of a more
bona fide cold front that nears us Wednesday morning. Low level
temperatures will be cooling later today through tonight, with H8
temps reaching -4C late tonight for sufficient delta t's (14C) in
order for the lakes to get activated and help out with resultant
precipitation. The actual thermal profiles suggest that most all
precipitation will be in the form of rain, but the inland areas of
both eastern upper Michigan and nrn lower could very well see
some snowflakes mixing in by sunrise, as the sfc based warm layer
drops to around 1200 feet. No accumulation at all. In addition,
the pressure gradient tightens through the night, and with the CAA
leading to a well mixed BL, winds will become gusty through the
night.

Highs will be in the middle 40s most areas today, with lows tonight
mainly in the middle 30s.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Wednesday through Thursday)
Issued at 318 AM EST Tue Nov 6 2018

High Impact Weather Potential: Possible light snow accumulations
Wednesday night into Thursday.

As Tuesday's system moves off to the northeast, another shortwave
moves over the upper Great Lakes, with a surface trough/front
crossing nrn Michigan through the day Wednesday. This frontal
boundary will lead the charge for the beginnings of arctic air to
filter into the region. Midlevel dry air tries to build in briefly
mid-day Wednesday, but with deltaT's increasing to near 18 through
the day, overlake instability will keep widespread rain and snow
showers going through much of the day, with a changeover to all snow
during Wednesday night. Highs on Wednesday remain in the upper 30s
and low 40s. Thursday gives a brief reprieve from precipitation for
much of the area as surface high pressure tries to build in from the
west, and midlevel dry air filters in along with more cold air
advection. Highs Thursday will be a couple degrees cooler than
Wednesday given continued cold air advection.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Monday)
Issued at 318 AM EST Tue Nov 6 2018

Forecast concerns: Possible accumulating lake effect snow Friday
through Sunday.

H850 temperatures fall steadily into the weekend, with anomalously
cold air being drug down into the Great Lakes region by a clipper
system on Friday. This clipper may merge with a southern stream low
just to our east through the day. Widespread lake effect snow in the
typical northwest flow belts is highly likely. The best chance for
accumulating lake effect snow could be Friday into Saturday with
deltaT's in the low 20s and generally northwest winds. Temperatures
fall through the week with highs on Friday and Saturday struggling
to get out of the mid 30s.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Tuesday night)
Issued at 1251 AM EST Tue Nov 6 2018

Low pressure will lift through nrn lower Michigan through
Tuesday morning. This will bring widespread rains, lowered CIGS,
as well as a period of fog. Prevailing MVFR anticipated, but IFR
is likely at times, especially at APN. As the low pressure
departs, disturbances aloft will bring more showers. Also, cold
advection ensues and the pressure gradient tightens for the
development of gusty conditions. This will most likely end any fog
that's around, thus likely keeping IFR out of the picture, but
solid MVFR through the TAF period. Could even be a few flakes
coming down overnight Tuesday night.

Easterly winds generally at or below 10kts will become highly
variable as the low passes through, but will eventually become
westerly and gusty through Tuesday night.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 318 AM EST Tue Nov 6 2018

Low pressure will cross the region today, resulting in periods of
rain showers and a radical wind direction change from easterly to
westerly by later today into this evening. The pressure gradient
tightens as the winds go more westerly, with gusty advisory level
winds over many of the nearshores surrounding nrn lower Michigan
expected into tonight. At the same time, disturbances aloft and an
approaching cold front will bring more showers. Behind this cold
front, the gradient tightens enough across the entire region for
widespread advisory winds Wednesday and Wednesday night, and even
into Thursday morning for the Presque Isle Light area. Will go ahead
an issue those advisories for all nearshores. The air mass becomes
cold enough for continued precipitation over this time, in the form
of lake effect, and there could also be some snow mixing in at
times.
