Fxus63 kapx 220613 afdapx area forecast discussion national weather service gaylord mi 213 am edt Sun apr 22 2018 Near term (today through tonight) issued at 213 am edt Sun apr 22 2018 Gradual warning trend continues... high impact weather potential... None. Pattern synopsis forecast... Large area of strong high pressure and dry air remains centered over the great lakes region early this morning... Resulting in clear skies and dry wx across the great state of michigan. Clear skies and calm winds are allowing temps to slowly drop thru the 30s and into the 20s. For today and tonight... Strong surface high and dry air thru the column will remain overhead... Maintaining clear and dry wx thru tonight. Our gradual warming trend will continue today with afternoon highs warming into the mid 50s to around 60 degrees across our entire cwa. Low temps tonight will range from the mid 20s across interior sections of northern lower michigan to the low to mid 30s across the rest of our cwa. Short term (Monday through Tuesday) issued at 213 am edt Sun apr 22 2018 Above normal temperatures... high impact weather potential: none aside from monitoring rising river levels through early this week due to snow melt runoff. Pattern forecast: northern michigan is expected to lie between two systems slowly meandering across the continent early this upcoming week. The initial and more potent wave across the southern plains into the southern ms valley and the second across alberta saskatchewan. Surface and upper level ridging will gradually slide east of the area locally Monday into Monday night with weak southerly moisture advection underway Tuesday combined with an approaching cold front from the northwest may yield scattered showers at times across portions of northern michigan. Primary forecast concerns challenges: pops Tuesday. Little in the way of sensible weather is anticipated across the region to start the upcoming week. Another sun-filled day is expected Monday with high temperatures climbing a few degrees above normal for most... Ranging from the upper 50s across eastern upper to the low-mid 60s for many south of the bridge (cooler near the

lakeshores). Low end chances for rain showers arrive during the day Tuesday, primarily during the afternoon evening hours as the aforementioned systems make headway toward the great lakes. Expecting any precip to be rather scattered brief in nature with most locations staying dry conditions for the bulk of, if not the entire, day. High temperatures Tuesday pretty similar to Monday's... .Mid 50s across eastern upper with low-mid 60s expected to prevail for much of northern lower. Long term (Tuesday night through Saturday) issued at 213 am edt Sun apr 22 2018 high impact weather potential: minimal. The pattern is expected to become somewhat more active as we head toward the end of the upcoming week as upper level troughing is expected to become (at least briefly) carved out across the midsection of the country. With several perturbations riding along the periphery of said troughing, occasional chances for rain and or snow become possible from Thursday through the upcoming weekend (although plenty of dry time will be mixed in as well). Aviation (for the 06z tafs through 06z Sunday night) issued at 1222 am edt Sun apr 22 2018 vfr conditions are expected throughout much of the forecast period. Some low cloud development is possible near lake huron and the straits Sunday night. Marine Issued at 213 am edt Sun apr 22 2018 winds and waves will remain below SCA criteria thru the early part of this week as high pressure remains in charge of the wx across the great lakes region. Dry wx and mainly clear skies are expected... with a continuation of the gradual warming trend. Apx watches warnings advisories Mi... None. Lh... None. Lm... None. Ls... None. Near term...

Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors. Please verify all results. 5) Weather information is from numerious of sources and is presented automatically. It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
