.DISCUSSION...
A longwave mid-upper ridge continues to translate over Great Lakes
today bringing stable conditions and no precipitation to speak of
through the remainder of the work week. Surface to 850 mb flow
becomes more north to northeast oriented on the south end of a
strong high pressure emerging out of central Canada. This draws a
backdoor cold front through southeast Michigan early today bringing
daytime highs down a notch to the upper 70s to 80 degrees for most
of southeast Michigan. The exception will be on the shoreline areas
of the Thumb and Bay County that will be in the low-mid 70s.
The upper ridge axis pivots across the central and eastern Great
Lakes Wednesday and Thursday while the aforementioned surface high
drifts into eastern Canada and the northeast CONUS. The persistent
lower level flow out of the east to northeast will lead to advection
of slightly cooler thermal profiles. Daily highs for the first two
days of October will be down towards normal values around 70 degrees
for inland areas. The lakeshore areas will again be slightly cooler
in the 60s for Wednesday, but return to around 70 for Thursday. Only
other note for Wednesday and Thursday will be an increase in high
clouds.
Warm advection ensues Friday into the weekend as deeper southwest
flow ushers in 850 mb temperatures back into the mid teens C.
Daytime highs climb back above normal in the low-mid 80s. Over the
weekend, high pressure ridge sets up over the southeast CONUS while
a Pacific wave crosses the Rockies and tracks across the upper
Midwest/northern plains. While moisture quality improves slightly,
frontal features set up across Lake Superior and to the north. Thus,
dry weather persists across southeast Michigan.

.MARINE...
High pressure slides across Ontario today, while last night`s cold
front washes out over central Lower Michigan. Resulting northeast
flow increases this afternoon pushing gusts above 25 knots and waves
over 5 feet to support Small Craft Advisories. Winds veer as the
high settles into New England through the rest of the week, bringing
conditions below advisory thresholds by Wednesday morning for Lake
Huron. Brief period of west flow Wednesday may boost conditions
toward advisory criteria for western Lake Erie, followed by quiet
marine conditions as winds continue to veer and high pressure stays
in control.

AVIATION...
Weak sfc high pressure and very dry air through the column will
maintain light winds and clear skies into the night. There will be
an expansion and strengthening of high pressure over northern
Ontario tonight into Tuesday. The will result in a northeasterly
wind field developing across Se Mi late tonight into Tuesday. Ample
dry air in the boundary layer and the development of a light
northeast gradient toward daybreak Tues will limit the potential for
radiational fog development, likely to just some shallow ground fog
in favorable low lying areas.
For DTW/D21 Convection...Convection will not occur through the TAF
period.
DTW THRESHOLD PROBABILITIES...
* None.
