AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI 404 PM EDT FRI JUN 2 2006 .DISCUSSION...TONIGHT...DEVELOPING TROUGHING ACROSS THE EASTERN STATES FOR THE WEEKEND. SHORT WAVE TROUGH SLOWLY CROSSES THE STATE TONIGHT...MAIN VORTICITY CENTER DROPPING SOUTHEAST ACROSS WI TOWARD MKE PER WATER VAPOR IMAGERY...SECONDARY CENTER HEADING ACROSS GREEN BAY. GETTING CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY POPPING IN VARIOUS LOCATIONS... ALONG LAKE MICHIGAN/HURON BREEZE ACROSS MACKINAC COUNTY AND LAKE SUPERIOR BREEZE ACROSS ONTARIO...OVER CENTRAL UPPER MI AS WELL AS ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL/SOUTHERN LOWER. ONSHORE FLOW HAS STABILIZED THINGS ADJACENT TO THE NORTHERN LOWER SHORELINE FROM MBL AROUND TO APN AS WELL AS UP AROUND WHITEFISH BAY...INLAND CAPES RUNNING FROM 400-600 J/KG. SOME ELEVATED SHOWERS REMAIN OVER EASTERN LAKE SUPERIOR IN ASSOCIATION WITH GREEN BAY VORTICITY CENTER. BASIC FORECAST IDEA FOR THE OVERNIGHT WILL ASSUME THAT MUCH OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE TIED TO THE DIURNAL CYCLE AND WEAKEN DURING THE EVENING. STILL THINK WE CAN KEEP MOST OF THE NORTHWEST LOWER SHORELINE DRY (AT LEAST SOUTH OF NORTHPORT)...ANTICIPATING ANY CONVECTION DRIFTING OUT OF THE U.P. AND NORTHEAST WI TO WEAKEN CROSSING LAKE MICHIGAN. AIR MASS ALSO MORE STABLE AROUND WHITEFISH BAY...WATCHING REMNANT BAND OF SHOWERS OVER EASTERN LAKE SUPERIOR OVER PAST COUPLE OF HOURS WITH RADARS SHOWING A DOWNWARD TREND. SO MAY ALSO BE ABLE TO STAY DRY OVER NORTHERN CHIPPEWA COUNTY. PROBLEM FOR THE OVERNIGHT DEALS WITH LINGERING MOISTURE AND STEEPER MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES (7C/KM 700-500MB) FORECAST TO REMAIN NORTH OF LAKE HURON. ANOTHER SHORT WAVE DROPPING INTO THE MAIN EASTERN TROUGH FORECAST TO REACH THE U.P. BY SATURDAY MORNING. THIS FEATURE COMBINED WITH LOW PRESSURE SPINNING UP OVER THE NORTHEAST COAST WILL INDUCE SOME MID LEVEL HEIGHT FALLS ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES...WHICH SHOWS UP WELL AT 700MB WHERE SHARP WIND SHIFT DEVELOPS LATE. IN ADDITION TO THE ADDED FORCING THIS TROUGH PROVIDES...WINDS VEER MORE NORTHEAST...AND MAY TRY TO PULL SOME OF THIS MOISTURE BACK TOWARD NORTHEAST LOWER LATE TONIGHT. CONCERNED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME SHOWERS DEVELOPING TO THE EAST AND SNEAKING IN THE BACKDOOR TOWARD DAYBREAK. WILL MAINTAIN A LOW CHANCE POP LATE AROUND DRUMMOND ISLAND AND PRESQUE ISLE/ALPENA COUNTIES. JPB SATURDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING...LOW-MID LEVEL CYCLONIC FLOW REMAINS BACK ACROSS NRN MICHIGAN WHILE LAST BIT OF MID LEVEL ENERGY (NOW COMING ACROSS N CENTRAL ONTARIO) SLIDES DOWN THROUGH LOWER MICHIGAN BRINGING LOWERING HEIGHTS/COOLER TEMPS ALOFT. WILL START THE MORNING WITH A LOW CHANCE FOR SHOWERS ACROSS A GOOD PORTION OF NE LOWER MICHIGAN IN THE MORNING (SEE ABOVE). FORECAST ATTENTION THEN TURNS TO SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM CHANCES ONCE AGAIN IN THE AFTERNOON. MODIFIED MID AFTERNOON SOUNDINGS USING 74/49 SFC PARCEL...YIELDING 500-700 J/KG MEAN LAYER CAPE ACROSS A GOOD CHUNK OF NRN LOWER MICHIGAN. CERTAINLY A MODEST AMOUNT (SIMILAR TO TODAY) BUT WITH LITTLE IN THE WAY OF CONVECTIVE INHIBITION. SO BASICALLY LOOKING FOR SOME SORT OF TRIGGERING MECHANISM IN THE AFTERNOON. WITH LIGHT NORTHERLY FLOW BEST CANDIDATE LIKELY IN THE FORM OF LAKE BREEZE CONVERGENCE ALONG THE HURON SIDE...AS WELL AS FLOW INTO THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF NRN LOWER MICHIGAN. SO...BELIEVE GREATEST CHANCES FOR SHOWERS/STORMS WILL OCCUR AROUND GRAYLING...DOWN THROUGH THE WEST BRANCH...GLADWIN...HOUGHTON LAKE AND CADILLAC AREAS...FROM MID AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY EVENING. LIGHT OVERALL WIND FIELDS (<30 KNOTS THROUGH 500 MB) ONCE AGAIN ON SATURDAY. BUT WITH FREEZING LEVELS LOWERING TO 9-9500K FEET ANY ISOLATED SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL PRIMARILY BE PULSE TYPE HAILERS. SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...LONGWAVE RIDGE OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS GETS SOMEWHAT SUPPRESSED AS PAC NW ENERGY AND FASTER/ZONAL FLOW PUSHES ACROSS THE NRN TIER OF STATES. MEANWHILE...SHORTWAVE TROUGH PASSING THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES ON SATURDAY UNDERGOES AMPLIFICATION DOWNSTREAM...ALLOWING SOME DEGREE OF RIDGING/DRY AIR TO NOSE ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST/NRN MICHIGAN FOR LATE SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY. WITH THE RIDGING/SFC HIGH PRESSURE/DRY AIR ACROSS NRN MICHIGAN...GOING DRY FORECAST SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY LOOKS FINE AT THIS POINT ALONG WITH TEMPS REBOUNDING THROUGH THE 70S DURING THE DAY. FURTHER...GIVEN THE DEGREE OF DRY AIR...HAVE LOWERED CLOUD COVER ACROSS NRN MICHIGAN THROUGH THIS PERIOD PARTICULARLY FOR THE OVERNIGHT HOURS (OUTSIDE OF THE DIURNAL COMPONENT) TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY (EXTENDED PERIODS)...SOME SEMBLANCE OF A WARM FRONT/MOISTURE AXIS SLIDING INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST/WESTERN GREAT LAKES ON TUESDAY...FOLLOWED BY A WEAK COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE ON WEDNESDAY. SO WILL HAVE SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM CHANCES ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA TUESDAY/TUESDAY NIGHT...WITH RAIN SHOWERS LINGERING INTO WEDNESDAY. THEN...FORECAST TURNS A BIT MORE NEBULOUS PARTICULARLY DURING THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK...AS MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE (GFS90/ECMWF) SHOWING SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES IN THE PATTERN ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES. SPECIFICALLY...THE ECMWF CONTINUES TO FORECAST A CLOSED MID LEVEL LOW DROPPING INTO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES LATE WEDNESDAY...HANGING ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH FRIDAY. THIS ARGUES FOR CONTINUING RAIN CHANCES AND COOLER WEATHER TO WRAP UP THE WORK WEEK...BY AND LARGE IN AGREEMENT WITH THE GOING FORECAST. MEANWHILE...THE GFS KEEPS THIS SYSTEM ACROSS S/SE CANADA UNTIL FRIDAY WHILE FAVORING MORE RIDGING ACROSS THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES THROUGH MOST OF THE WEEK. GIVEN THE DISAGREEMENT BUT PERSISTENCE OF THE ECMWF...WILL NOT STRAY MUCH FROM THE GOING FORECAST AND KEEP POPS THROUGH FRIDAY ALONG WITH TEMPS DIPPING BACK TO AT OR A LITTLE BELOW NORMAL.
