Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
333 PM EDT Wed Apr 5 2023

.NEAR TERM...(Through Tonight)
Issued at 333 PM EDT Wed Apr 5 2023

...Windy and becoming colder tonight...

Occluded 994mb surface low is over the MN Arrowhead, with a triple
point near MQT. A cold front is about to push into nw lower MI, so
for those enjoying 71f at TVC and surrounding areas, it's not
going to last. At all. The cold/occluded front will actually warm
things up in ne lower/eastern upper, scouring out the leftover
grunge there.

There were a few blips on the front in eastern WI earlier, but
otherwise the front is precip-free. Some models still kick off
convection along the front into early evening, and will maintain a
small chance for showers and perhaps a t-storm. Anything that does
form will still have gusty wind potential.

Steady cold advection occurs behind the front. By 12z, 850mb
temps drop to the lower minus teens in eastern upper MI, and to
the lower single digits below in the far se. Chilly temps and wind
chills will re-invade as the evening and night proceeds, on gusty
west w to wsw winds in a tight post-frontal pressure gradient.

Looking at Bufr soundings at PLN tonight, we should be able to tap
into stronger wind gusts than much of the guidance shows. Winds
toward the top of the mixed layer are in the 40-45kt range all
night. Have kicked surface wind gusts into low-end advisory
territory, and said advisory is being issued for tonight into
Thursday.

Min temps tonight from the mid 20s to mid 30s.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Thursday through Saturday)
Issued at 333 PM EDT Wed Apr 5 2023

Thursday through Saturday:

High Impact Weather Potential: Strong winds Thursday. Possibly
advisory level snow amounts Friday night into early Saturday morning.

The cold front mentioned in the previous forecast period will exit
the area into Lake Huron by early Thursday morning with winds
continuing to veer to westerly and intensifying, with gusts of
40-50mph possible early Thursday morning and last throughout the
afternoon hours before diminishing in intensity during the evening
hours Thursday. High pressure and drier air centered over the
central CONUS will build into northern lower Michigan late Wednesday
night into Thursday morning providing mostly precipitation-free
weather, with the exception of some wrap-around moisture producing
some light snow showers with some lake enhancement over the eastern
upper peninsula. The second possible precipitation event will be
Friday night into early Saturday morning with an inverted trough
and accompanying moisture possibly dropping a quick 2-3 inches
across a swath of northern lower Michigan. High pressure and drier
air then takes over Saturday with decreasing cloudiness throughout
the day and afternoon temperatures in the mid 40s to near 50 degrees.

Winds will be strong out of the southwest to west-southwest Thursday
with gusts up to 40-50kts...especially the tip of the mitt and the
Straits area. Winds then veer to the northwest Thursday night and
diminish in intensity throughout Friday as high pressure tries to
settle in. Winds become light and variable early Saturday.

Temperatures will be in the mid 30s to mid 40s Thursday and Friday,
while warming a bit Saturday...reaching into the mid 40s to near 50
degrees across northern lower Michigan.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 333 PM EDT Wed Apr 5 2023

High Impact Weather Potential: Minimal at this time.

High pressure over the Great Lakes region will dominate northern
Michigan's weather through the long term period for the time being,
with the exception of an inverted trough possibly producing some
light rain showers Sunday into Monday. High temperatures will
moderate throughout the long term period beginning near 50 across
eastern upper to near 60 over northern lower and currently forecast
to reach into the low 60s over eastern upper to 70s across northern
lower by Wednesday.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday afternoon)
Issued at 132 PM EDT Wed Apr 5 2023

Only scattered showers and perhaps a TSRA are progged along a cold
front that races across northern MI late this afternoon and early
this evening. Cigs will remain variable across the region ahead of
the front, VFR at MBL/TVC and IFR/LIFR elsewhere. Behind the
front, conditions will be more uniform, with a mix of VFR and MVFR
cigs. LLWS in spots this afternoon and evening, with gusty west
winds after that.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 333 PM EDT Wed Apr 5 2023

A strong cold front is just making inroads into nw lower MI now,
and will cross the area through early evening. Gusty wsw winds
set up behind a strong cold front for the rest of tonight and into
Thursday. High-end gales will be possible at times. Winds will
weaken and veer nw Thu night.
