Fxus63 kapx 191133 afdapx area forecast discussion national weather service gaylord mi 733 am edt Mon aug 19 2019 Near term (today through tonight) issued at 412 am edt Mon aug 19 2019 Plenty of Sun and seasonable temperatures today... high impact weather potential: minimal. Pattern synopsis forecast: 04z surface composite analysis shows a 997mb surface low near the southern tip of james bay with a cold front extending southwest across eastern upper southeast wi central ia. 1015mb surface high behind the front centered over southwest mn. Skies are mostly clear across eastern upper with some high based sc ac along the front across northern lower... But any lingering precipitation has cleared lower michigan with clear skies upstream as drier air spreads across the upper great lakes. Isentropic ascent and weaker stability forcing some mid cloud and high based showers over southern manitoba northwest ontario. Surface high will expand into the upper lakes today along with rising heights as upper level flow becomes zonal across the upper midwest great lakes. Primary forecast concerns: few and far between today with the arrival of high pressure and drier air. Looking at a good bit of sunshine today with falling dew points and mostly seasonable afternoon highs (70s to lower 80s). Mainly clear skies tonight and light winds will allow temperatures to sink into the 50s and perhaps some upper 40s in interior locales. Short term (Tuesday through Wednesday) issued at 412 am edt Mon aug 19 2019 high impact weather potential: minimal pattern synopsis and forecast: surface high pressure anchored over the great lakes will dominate Tuesday's weather, with mostly clear skies, light winds, and warm temperatures. The zonal flow of late will become progressive as the great lakes region remains in broad upper level troughing through the forecast period. A weak cold front associated with a low pressure system over the james bay region will sweep into the forecast area late Tuesday night into Wednesday. Cloud cover will be on the increase ahead of the boundary Tuesday afternoon with rain and possibly some thunder (near lake michigan shoreline?) chances arriving during the evening nighttime hours. This slow moving boundary may trigger some more showers Wednesday afternoon, mainly closer to the saginaw bay region where diurnal heating and possible lake breezes may aid in the development. Although some high pressure builds back into the region later Wednesday, wouldn't be surprised if the upper level troughing and available moisture produce more

cloud cover than is forecast at this time. Winds will become southwesterly ahead of the aforementioned cold front Tuesday afternoon and veer to the northwest behind the front Wednesday and Thursday. With the caa... Winds could become gusty Wednesday afternoon, especially over the lakes and eastern upper. Temperatures will be in the low to mid 80s, possibly even see some upper 80s, as southwesterly winds advect warmer and moisture air into the forecast area. Wednesday will be cooler once again with the CAA behind the said boundary, reaching into the mid to upper 70s. As colder air continues to filter in on northwesterly flow, some locations may only reach into the mid 60s Thursday. Long term (Wednesday night through Sunday) issued at 412 am edt Mon aug 19 2019 high impact weather... None is expected. The long term models are in agreement with this period mostly being under surface high pressure with the exception of yet another weak cold front and attendant upper level wave dropping down from central canada during the late weekend Monday timeframe. This will most likely be the only precipitation chances during this forecast period. Temperatures will moderate a bit each day, beginning in the low to mid 70s Friday and reaching near 80 by Sunday. Aviation (for the 12z tafs through 12z Tuesday morning) issued at 732 am edt Mon aug 19 2019 few aviation concerns today with high pressure building in from the west...VFR conditions expected through tonight. Marine Issued at 412 am edt Mon aug 19 2019 lingering small craft advisories should be able to be dropped at forecast issuance... The only exception may be along the straits to presque isle light lake huron nearshore zone where winds are still a bit gusty. But a flattening pressure gradient as high pressure builds in from the west should eventually allow some lake breeze development this afternoon. Winds expected to become more southwesterly Tuesday... Then back northwest Wednesday behind a cold front... With gusty winds possibly requiring another round of small craft advisories. Apx watches warnings advisories Mi... None. Lh... None. Lm... None. Ls... None. Near term... Jpb short term... Tl long term... Tl aviation... Jpb marine... Jpb

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.
