UPDATE
Issued at 1015 PM EDT Wed Oct 4 2023
Band of light showers rotating northeast across the area this evening out ahead of a cold front entering western Lake Michigan.
Expect this front to continue to slowly work east, with additional showers firing along and ahead of it. Latest guidance trends support most widespread showers targeting northeast lower Michigan later tonight and Thursday morning as corridor of deeper moisture arrives out ahead of the front. Just enough instability to perhaps support a rumble of thunder or two...but no severe weather expected. Another seasonably mild night, with lows mostly ranging through the 50s.
NEAR TERM
(Through Tonight)
Issued at 241 PM EDT Wed Oct 4 2023
Bye, Bye, Bye Summer
High Impact Weather Potential...Minimal.
Primary Forecast Concerns...Thunder potential.
Pattern Synopsis/Forecast...Initial surface cold front will begin to move across the region later tonight. Scattered to numerous showers and possibly isolated thunderstorms (higher resolution guidance points to low end instability) are expected in advance of the front. Cooler temperatures are expected to bleed into the region late tonight making for somewhat better sleeping conditions.
South-southwest winds will veer southwesterly late tonight and continue to be a bit gusty at times (upwards of around 20 mph).
Rainfall amounts generally around a tenth of an inch but with locally higher amounts of up to a third of an inch possible closer to Saginaw Bay. Lows tonight generally in the mid 50s to around 60.
SHORT TERM
(Thursday through Saturday)
Issued at 241 PM EDT Wed Oct 4 2023
High Impact Weather Potential: Minimal.
Pattern Forecast: Longwave trough axis centered upstream from Manitoba through the central Plains at the start of the period Thursday will cross the western Great Lakes to wrap up the week into the weekend. Several mid-level perturbations rippling through the flow during this time with the primarily theme of the short term forecast period being a snap back to reality from our impressive late season warmth.
Primary Forecast Concerns: Rain chances and falling temperatures.
Initial cold front tied to low pressure over Hudson Bay is expected to be slowly crossing northern Michigan Thursday morning. Secondary cold front stretched from the upper MS Valley into the Plains will make inroads across the forecast area late Thursday into Thursday night. Ongoing showers Thursday morning, most numerous across northeast lower, are expected to continue to shift east through the morning and early afternoon with additional scattered shower chances arriving with that secondary boundary during the evening and early overnight hours. Occasionally breezy southwest to west-southwest winds continue with the highest gusts around 20 mph. Highs generally in the mid-60s to near 70 area-wide.
The secondary boundary will really allow cold advection to ramp up through the remainder of the period. H8 temps fall to around 1-2 C across the northern Lakes during the day Friday, which should readily activate a lake response with additional showers becoming more numerous from midday Friday through Saturday. Latest suite of guidance continues to hint at the low-levels remaining just a touch to warm to mix in any nocturnal snowflakes across the interior higher terrain, despite H8 temps falling a few degrees below 0 C.
Worth at least keeping an eye on heading toward the weekend as it wouldn't need to be a whole lot cooler to introduce that idea.
Breezy again with high temperatures struggling to get out of the 50s for most on Friday. Northwest winds Saturday, gusty at times, with temperatures topping out from the mid-40s to low 50s across the Northwoods.
LONG TERM
(Saturday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 241 PM EDT Wed Oct 4 2023
High Impact Weather Potential: Minimal.
Deep trough axis pivots across the eastern Great Lakes to wrap up the weekend with continued lake effect rain shower chances prevailing locally to wrap up the weekend. During this time, upper wave is expected to close off before pinwheeling north into Quebec with latest trends suggesting this feature retrogrades back into Ontario by Tuesday into at least the middle of next week. If these trends do prevail -- unsettled, cool (more seasonable) and occasionally breezy conditions would be the rule for much of the long-term forecast period.
