Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
301 AM EDT Sun Oct 8 2023

.NEAR TERM...(Today through Tonight)
Issued at 300 AM EDT Sun Oct 8 2023

High Impact Weather Potential: Minimal.

Pattern Synopsis/Forecast: Closed upper-level low pressure is
centered across southern Ontario early this morning with attendant
troughing draped over the eastern half of the CONUS. Final stages of
the remnants of Phillipe still becoming absorbed into the pattern
over New England. Associated surface cyclone over Quebec and New
England continues to occlude with the system becoming vertically
stacked over southern Quebec by early this afternoon...before
gradually retrograding to near the Quebec/Ontario border by 12z
Monday.

Primary Forecast Concerns: Shower coverage and temperature trends.

Breezy northwest flow continues across the western Great Lakes today
into tonight with attendant cold air advection remaining the rule.
Favorable deep layer moisture now displaced to our east/northeast as
drier air aloft continues to advect into the area. No doubt that a
favorable over-water thermal gradient will aid in continuing lake
processes, but with an inversion height around 5 kft and paltry mid-
upper level moisture/support, expecting shower activity to remain
fairly isolated to scattered in nature. Even some breaks of sun
likely at times across much of the area. High temps some 10-15
degrees below normal...ranging from the mid-40s north to the low 50s
near MBL/FKS and Saginaw Bay.

Little change to the overall pattern through tonight, although focus
transitions to increasing deep layer moisture/support as
aforementioned retrograding continues. Latest trends support the
bulk of this support to arrive during the day Monday; however, it's
certainly within the realm of possibilities that more numerous
shower activity begins to blossom across parts of the area by 09-12z
tonight...most notably across the eastern U.P. Continued isolated to
scattered shower activity a good bet downwind of Lake Michigan.
Breezy conditions continue with gusts as high as 25-35 mph. Mostly
cloudy skies expected area wide, although any breaks in the clouds
may allow for localized drops in temperatures to the low-mid 30s
over interior areas while the vast majority of the forecast area
experiences lows spanning the upper 30s to low 40s.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Monday through Tuesday)
Issued at 300 AM EDT Sun Oct 8 2023

High Impact Weather Potential: Low. Rain / showers continue into
next week with breezy conditions.

Pattern Synopsis: Slow moving longwave troughing will more or less
remain anchored over eastern North America for the forecast
period... with a deep occluded low initially centered north of
Montreal, Quebec retrograding northwestward toward James Bay as a
result of the system eventually becoming closed and steering flow
within the trough remaining rather weak. Energy from the closed low
will pinwheel into the upper Great Lakes from the northeast through
the forecast period... and despite theta-e advection associated with
the broadening cyclone leading to a subtle 850mb warm nose intruding
aloft, the overlake thermal gradient in the lower levels looks to
remain strong enough to lead to some lake enhancement amid a WNW
flow regime.

Primary Forecast Concerns: Longevity of rain.

Wing of deeper moisture will sag into northern Michigan through the
day on Monday, resulting in showers and periods of light rain
spreading from NNE to SSW across the CWA, largely stalling out by
the time they reach M-55 in the afternoon hours. Aforementioned lake
enhancement of precipitation builds across WNW flow belts through
the afternoon, namely the "Big Five" lake effect counties
(Charlevoix, Antrim, Otsego, Crawford, and Kalkaska), along with
spots downwind of the Little Traverse Bay convergence zone. All in
all, most areas probably see a general 0.25-0.50" of rainfall at
most, with perhaps some localized 0.75"+ rainfalls in the
aforementioned lake enhanced areas by Tuesday morning. It will also
be chilly, with another day featuring highs stunted in the 40s
(coldest across the interior).

Continued shower activity will carry into Monday night, though as
deeper synoptic moisture tapers some closer to daybreak, coverage
will also begin to decrease. That all being said, overnight temps
don't look to fall too much given the presence of persistent flow,
showers, and cloud cover making efficient radiational cooling hard
to come by (as explained in the previous forecast cycle)... lows in
the upper 30s (perhaps mid 30s CAD to HTL where moisture
concentrations will be lesser).

The trend of showers will continue into Tuesday, though again with
somewhat decreasing coverage as the intrusion of drier air
disorganizes the wing of moisture overhead (particularly as we head
through Tuesday afternoon). In the grand scheme of things, more dry
time can be expected Tuesday than Monday, but there still looks to
be a fair amount of shower potential across the area. Temps Tuesday
moderate slightly, with highs in the upper 40s to lower 50s. Not to
be lost in all of this will be winds. As the low pressure continues
to deepen, cyclonic flow will accelerate for Monday and Tuesday,
with some 30-35mph wind gusts possible at times... which will add an
extra bite to an already chilly airmass.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Saturday)
Issued at 300 AM EDT Sun Oct 8 2023

High Impact Weather Potential: Low for now... many uncertainties
regarding end of week system.

Continued pesky longwave troughing will slowly ease its grip on the
region by around midweek... which could open the door for some
slightly milder temperatures to build (curb the excitement... highs
probably still hold in the 50s, which is quite seasonable for this
time of year). Looking ahead, another trough ejects from the
Rockies, with guidance pretty much supporting cyclogenesis somewhere
in the central Plains late Thursday into Friday. Certainty pretty
much ceases at this point for a multitude of reasons. Guidance does
have this system carry eastward, but where exactly it winds up is a
source of various disagreements within long term guidance, though
the upper pattern gives me some discouragement from the idea of the
deepest moisture from this potential system passing into northern
Michigan. The outer fringes of the longwave troughing currently
overhead will still be over the Great Lakes (inducing a NW flow). In
addition, This system is also expected to occlude, which guidance
routinely struggles with resolving in the long term from a spatial
and temporal scale given long term guidance's tendency to have an
amplified bias. My thoughts are that this system probably trends
slower and more southerly with time, and may leave us in the outer
fringes at best, which screams a somewhat drier and less active
solution for northern Michigan, but this will have to be resolved
with the coming forecast shifts.

Normal highs: 54-62
Normal lows: 35-42

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Sunday night)

Primarily VFR conditions expected through this taf period with
relatively high based lake effect clouds. Definitely will see a
few more showers, especially targeting KTVC and KMBL. Most of
these will remain light, but could see a brief period of vis
restrictions with any passing heavier shower. Gusty northwest
winds to continue.

with lower confidence sporadic low-end gale gusts possible across
far northern Lake Michigan/Huron. Winds begin to diminish Monday
night, although sporadic advisory conditions may continue right on
through Tuesday.
