PATTERN SYNOPSIS/FORECAST: AMPLIFIED UPPER-LEVEL PATTERN REMAINS IN
PLACE THROUGH MIDWEEK ACROSS NOAM. NORTHERN MI CONTINUES TO FIND
ITSELF IN THE VICINITY OF THE TROUGH/RIDGE INTERFACE, FAVORING
SUBSIDENCE ALOFT AND REINFORCING CANADIAN-ORIGINATED SURFACE
HIGH PRESSURE SAGGING INTO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES. LATEST
TRENDS FAVOR THIS PATTERN BEGINNING TO BREAK DOWN TOWARD THE
MIDDLE AND END OF THIS COMING WEEK WITH DOWNSTREAM TROUGHING
EXITING OUT OVER THE ATLANTIC AND UPSTREAM RIDGING TREKKING EAST
INTO THE GREAT LAKES. PATTERN EVENTUALLY BECOMES MORE ZONAL
ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER OF THE CONUS TOWARD NEXT WEEKEND.
FORECAST DETAILS: LITTLE IN THE WAY OF SENSIBLE WEATHER IS
ANTICIPATED THROUGH AT LEAST MIDWEEK ACROSS NORTHERN MI WITH MOSTLY
SUNNY SKIES AND SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES. PRIMARY FOCUS THROUGH
WEDNESDAY WILL LIKELY BE CONTINUED FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS WITH
ANTECEDENT DRY CONDITIONS, LOW AFTERNOON HUMIDITY AND
OCCASIONAL BREEZINESS. HIGH TEMPERATURES SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY
LARGELY IN THE 70S TO LOW 80S AREA-WIDE.
SLOW UPWARD TEMPERATURE TREND ANTICIPATED WEDNESDAY-THURSDAY AS
AFOREMENTIONED RIDGING FOLDS OVERHEAD. WEDNESDAY'S HIGHS IN THE
UPPER 70S TO MID 80S AWAY FROM THE LAKESHORES WITH THE WARMEST DAY
OF THE WEEK LIKELY THURSDAY WITH LOTS OF MID-UPPER 80S FOR NORTHERN
LOWER AND UPPER 70S TO LOW 80S NORTH OF THE BRIDGE. FIRE WEATHER
ISSUES MAY PERSIST THROUGH THIS TIME FRAME AS WELL. LOW POPS
EVENTUALLY REENTER THE FORECAST LATER THURSDAY THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND,
BUT DESPITE THAT, STILL THINK WE'LL BE HARD PRESSED TO SEE ANY
WIDESPREAD MEANINGFUL RAINFALL.
