LATEST UPDATE...
Aviation

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 306 AM EST Tue Nov 26 2019

- Rain late today, snow showers and windy Wednesday

- Fair weather for Thanksgiving with highs in the 30s

- Slow moving weekend storm with rain Saturday and snow Sunday

&&

.DISCUSSION...(Today through next Monday)
Issued at 306 AM EST Tue Nov 26 2019

Plains low moves northeast today with rain arriving this afternoon
and lasting through tonight. The surface low tracks across
northern Lower Michigan on Wednesday with cold advection on the
back side and deepening mixing bringing down strong winds.

We still expect the strongest winds to be along Lake Michigan
south of Grand Haven with wind gusts of 50 to 60 mph by late
morning through the afternoon. Further north and inland we expect
wind gusts peaking at 45 to 55 mph. This will be a stronger and
longer-lasting wind event than the storm last week, causing more
power outages and worse beach erosion than that storm.

Conditions will improve Thursday with fair weather and highs in
the upper 30s. Travel weather may be impacted over the weekend as
another storm moves through. Surface temperatures may be cold
enough for some freezing or frozen precip Friday night into
Saturday morning across the northern zones. That should change to
rain on Saturday but colder air moves in during Sunday and snow
could cause some slick travel by late in the day and for Sunday
night.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Wednesday morning)
Issued at 615 AM EST Tue Nov 26 2019

Patchy fog will cause reductions to MVFR/IFR and even isolated
LIFR early this morning mainly south to southeast and east of
KGRR. Conditions will improve to VFR at all the terminals by late
morning and will remain VFR this afternoon.

Low clouds and rain will cause conditions to deteriorate to MVFR
and then IFR at all the terminals this evening and overnight. An
isolated thunderstorm is also possible tonight but there is not
enough potential for convection to warrant mention in any of the
terminal forecasts at this time.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 306 AM EST Tue Nov 26 2019

West gales on Wednesday with Storm force winds possible, most
likely south of Grand Haven. Waves of 10 to 15 feet will make
conditions hazardous on Lake Michigan and along the shore where
beach erosion and coastal flooding are expected.
