.SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Issued at 224 AM EDT Tue Apr 29 2025

Pattern Synopsis/Forecast: ~996mb low pressure is currently situated
over Lake Superior/northern Ontario. Plenty of convection across
parts of eastern WI, central/eastern U.P. and northern Lake Michigan
out ahead of the system's cold front. Primary focus revolves around
the next 6 or so hours as convection, albeit weakening, crosses
northern Michigan with the trailing cold front clearing area-wide
later this morning. Higher surface pressures build in from the west
through the remainder of the day with high pressure becoming
centered squarely overhead by 12z Wednesday.

Forecast Details: Quite the mild and windy night out there tonight
with many areas across downsloping northwest lower still in the 70s
at this early hour (78! at TVC). Latest trends continue to support
ongoing convection across parts of eastern upper, northern Lake MI,
far northwest lower and points upstream to make a run across across
much of northern MI over the next several of hours. Noted
diminishing trend over the last couple of hours on KAPX/KMQT/KGRB
with latest suite of short term guidance continuing this trend as
precip rolls across northern MI. THat said, some enhanced gustiness
out ahead of this convection along the gusty front and certainly
still some rumbles of thunder anticipated as decaying axis of
instability folds across the forecast area. While chances for severe
storms appear to be diminishing, they're certainly not zero. Any
stronger storms that do develop will still be capable of all hazards
simply given shear parameters. 925mb winds on the order of ~70 kts,
0-6km bulk shear values up over 50 kts with sfc-1km SRH nearly 300
m2/s2 and sfc-3km >400 m2/s2. The bulk of this threat is expected to
be east of the area by 11-12z, however, the lagging cold front
remains several hours behind. Additional isolated to scattered
storms will remain possible ahead of the front, primarily northeast
lower, through the late morning time frame with a continued low-end
severe threat.

Quite the change anticipated for the second half of the day into
tonight. Continued gusty winds turn out of the west post fropa and
eventually northwest by late afternoon. Much colder temperatures to
be ushered in (upper 30s and low 40s by late afternoon across much
of eastern upper and northwest lower) with those gusty northwest
winds leading to sub-freezing wind chills. Some light showers/patchy
drizzle possible as well. Winds relax considerably this evening
before turning calm in many areas after midnight. Clearing/clear
skies and light winds should lead to excellent radiational cooling
with lows tonight falling in the 20s across much of northern MI.
While the forecast won't reflect as such, there are even some low
probabilities of localized teens showing up for the typically
cooler/interior/icebox locales.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Issued at 224 AM EDT Tue Apr 29 2025

High pressure holds through Wednesday evening leading to abundant
sunshine and seasonable temperatures. Increasing clouds overnight
Wednesday with showers expected to arrive Thursday morning as an
area of low pressure moves up from the southwest. Showers continue
through the day on into Thursday night with chances for showers on
Friday as an upper level trough sits over the region. Temperatures
are expected to be on the cool side. Increasing ridging at the
surface and aloft this weekend with the ridge holding into early
next week. Warming temperatures are expected as a result along with
precipitation free conditions. This should make it feel and look
more like true spring with flowers emerging and trees beginning to
burst out in blossoms.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 618 AM EDT Tue Apr 29 2025

Cold front crosses northern Michigan this morning with some
lingering isolated to scattered storms possible, primarily at APN.
Otherwise, a few post frontal showers possible amidst lowering CIGs
expected. Some improvement anticipated by mid-late afternoon before
clearing skies area-wide this evening. Winds remain gusty today,
initially out of the southwest, turning westerly and eventually
northwesterly post fropa. Calm winds tonight.
