EVENING WITH WEAK LAKE EFFECT CONTINUING IN NORTHWEST/WEST FLOW
AREAS.  WITH H8-H7 MOISTURE LESS THAN 50% AND BACKING WINDS...WILL
ONLY GO WITH LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS OVER WESTERN PARTS OF THE CWA.
AFTER MIDNIGHT...FLOW BACKS TO SOUTH IN ADVANCE OF CLIPPER MOVING
TOWARD NORTHWEST SUPERIOR.  ISENTROPIC ASCENT ON THE 290K SURFACE
INCREASES OVER WESTERN AREAS DURING THIS TIME WITH INCREASING
MID/UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE AND MID LEVEL Q-VECTOR CONVERGENCE AREA
MOVING TOWARD THE LAKE MICHIGAN SHORELINE.  I WILL HAVE LIKELY POPS
ALONG THE IMMEDIATE LAKE MICHIGAN SHORELINE... DIMINISHING TO JUST
CHANCE POPS FURTHER EAST.  DIFFICULT TO SEE MUCH IN THE WAY OF LAKE
ENHANCEMENT DUE TO MAINLY SOUTH FLOW AND WARMING H8 TEMPERATURES.
SO WILL KEEP ACCUMULATIONS LESS THAN ONE INCH THROUGH 12Z.

ON WEDNESDAY...BROAD SYNOPTIC LIGHT SNOW EVENT FOR THE ENTIRE CWA.
SOLID ISENTROPIC ASCENT ON THE 290K SURFACE OVERSPREADS THE AREA
WITH DEEP MOISTURE.  WITH MIXING RATIOS FROM 1-2 G/KG...DECENT MID
LEVEL Q-VECTOR CONVERGENCE...AND FAVORABLE MOISTURE PAST THE -10
DEGC ON FORECAST SOUNDINGS FOR GOOD DENDRITIC GROWTH...WILL PAINT A
GENERAL 2-3 INCH SNOWFALL FOR ALL AREAS.  LAKE TEMPERATURES ARE
STILL IN THE 40S AND INCREASING SOUTH/SOUTHWEST FLOW DURING THE
AFTERNOON HOURS MAY BE SUFFICIENT ALONG SOME OF THE IMMEDIATE LAKE
MICHIGAN SHORELINE COUNTIES TO RESULT IN A MIX OR CHANGE TO LIGHT
RAIN/DRIZZLE.  I WILL SHOW THIS TRANSITION OVER BENZIE AND
MANISTEE COUNTIES DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS AND DECREASE THE SNOW
AMOUNTS OVER THOSE AREAS AFTER 18Z.  WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE A
FEW LOW END ADVISORY LEVEL SNOW AMOUNTS OUT OF THIS SYSTEM BUT WITH
TEMPERATURES NEAR FREEZING WITH MAINLY WET ROADS AND MUCH BIGGER
WEATHER HEADLINES ON THE HORIZON...WILL NOT ISSUE ANYTHING ATTM.

LATER PERIODS...THE ROOF CAVES IN. VERY COLD AIR POURS IN AS THE
POLAR VORTEX DIVES RIGHT ON TOP OF OUR HEADS FOR THANKSGIVING
MORNING. LAKE EFFECT SNOW (LES) COMBINED WITH BLUSTERY WINDS ARE THE
OBVIOUS CONCERNS.

MODELS...NAM/GFS ARE IN CONSIDERABLY BETTER AGREEMENT TODAY. AS
EXPECTED THE NAM HAS TRENDED STRONGLY TOWARD THE GFS IN THE PAST 24
HOURS...DIVING THE POLAR VORTEX FURTHER TO THE SW. MAIN DIFFERENCE
IS EARLY THURSDAY...WHERE THE GFS IS A LITTLE FASTER THAN THE NAM IN
BRINGING A SECONDARY SURFACE TROF SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE AREA (THE NAM
DOES CATCH UP LATE IN THE DAY). WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE EXCELLENT
GFS PERFORMANCE TO THIS POINT...IT REMAINS THE MODEL OF CHOICE.

WED NIGHT...SURFACE LOW DRIVES FROM EASTERN SUPERIOR TO GEORGIAN
BAY. AN ASSOCIATED POLAR FRONT WILL BLAST THRU THE FORECAST AREA IN
THE EVENING...WITH STRONG WINDS AND COLD ADVECTION IN ITS WAKE.
850MB TEMPS TUMBLE 12-14C DURING THE NIGHT...REACHING THE MID TO
UPPER MINUS TEENS BY MORNING. DEEP SYNOPTIC MOISTURE WILL DEPART TO
THE EAST IN THE EVENING WITH THE FRONT. HOWEVER...WITH 700MB TEMPS
TO -30C AND 500MB TEMPS TO -35C...LAKE-INDUCED CONVECTION WILL BE
CAPABLE OF PRODUCING IT/S OWN DEEP MOISTURE. WITH THE 700MB COLD
CORE PROGGED TO CROSS LAKE MI...DEEPEST CONVECTION WILL BE FOUND
THERE (INVERSION HEIGHTS 8-10K FEET...VS 5-6K FEET ON SUPERIOR).
NAM-PROGGED SBCAPES ARE IN THE 500-750J/KG RANGE OVERNIGHT...SO
THUNDER IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION (THOUGH IT/S INFREQUENT IN THESE
SITUATIONS AND WILL NOT INCLUDE FOR NOW).

SO EXPECT ONLY A FEW HOUR BREAK...AT MOST...IN THE EARLY EVENING
BEFORE VIGOROUS LES BEGINS. NORTHERN LOWER SHOULD GET LOCKED
INTO A NW (310) FLOW REGIME...WHILE EASTERN UPPER WILL PROBABLY BE
MORE NNW (330). WE SOMETIMES UNDERESTIMATE THE TIME IT TAKES TO GET
ORGANIZED LES GOING...WHICH IS THE ONE FACTOR THAT WILL KEEP ACCUMS
FROM GETTING RIDICULOUS. THE STRONG WINDS (1000-850MB WINDS 30-40KT)
WILL DISTRIBUTE HEAVIER SNOWFALL A BIT FURTHER DOWNSTREAM THAN IS
TYPICAL. SURFACE WINDS 15-25 MPH...STRONGER NEAR THE LAKES AND IN
EXPOSED LOCALES...WILL PRODUCE CONSIDERABLE BLOWING AND DRIFTING
LATE AS ACCUMS GROW. NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS WILL BE SEEN IN
HEAVIER SNOWBANDS. ON THE NSH...GALES ARE EXPECTED...STORMS ARE NOT
OUT OF THE QUESTION.

IN EASTERN UPPER...HIGHEST ACCUMS WILL BE WEST OF I-75...WITH 3-5
INCHES NEAR WHITEFISH/PARADISE. SOMETHING LIKE 4-6 STILL LOOKS GOOD
FOR THE BIG 5 COUNTIES IN NORTHERN LOWER...DWINDLING TO 2 ALONG W
BRANCH TO APN CORRIDOR...AND LESS IN THE FAR SE.

THURSDAY...AN 850MB THERMAL RIDGE (-11 TO -13C) WILL WORK SOUTHWARD
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA...ASSOCIATED WITH A WELL DEFINED SECONDARY
SURFACE TROF. THE /WARMER/ AIR WILL NOT HINDER LES AT ALL...DELTA
T/S WILL REMAIN IN THE UPPER TEENS TO NEAR 20. SAID SURFACE TROF
WILL PIVOT ACROSS EASTERN UPPER MI IN THE MORNING...AND THROUGH MUCH
OF NORTHERN LOWER IN THE PM (THOUGH TROF MAY START TO GET LOST IN
GENERAL LAKE-INDUCED TROFFINESS BY THEN). AS WE SAW WITH LAST WEEK/S
EVENT...A WELL-DEFINED SURFACE BOUNDARY WILL SEVERELY MESS UP LES
ORGANIZATION...BUT THE TROF ITSELF WILL PROBABLY LIGHT UP WITH HEAVY
SNOW SHOWERS. POST-TROF...1000-850MB WINDS LOOK TURN NORTH...
SERIOUSLY HAMPERING SNOWFALL IN EASTERN UPPER IN THE AFTERNOON.
INVERSION HEIGHTS WILL LOWER DURING THE DAY (TO 5-6K FEET) AS THE
700MB COLD CORE ADVECTS QUICKLY SE (700MB TEMPS RECOVER TO -19/20C).
VIGOROUS LES SHOULD CONTINUE ACROSS ALL THE SNOWBELTS IN THE MORNING
(DISRUPTED BY THE TROF IN EASTERN UPPER). A DIMINISHING TREND SHOULD
BE SEEN IN EASTERN UPPER IN THE AFTERNOON...NO DIMINISHING BUT
PERHAPS TROF-RELATED DISORGANIZATION IN NORTHERN LOWER. WILL TAG THE
NW FLOW COUNTIES IN NORTHERN LOWER WITH 4-8 INCHES...2-4 OUTSIDE THE
CLASSIC SNOWBELTS...LESS THAN 2 EAST OF APN/W BRANCH. FOR EASTERN
UPPER...2-5 INCHES WELL WEST OF I-75...WITH LESS TO THE EAST.

THURSDAY NIGHT/FRIDAY...THURSDAY NIGHT OUGHT TO BE THE LAST PERIOD
OF POTENTIALLY HEAVY SNOW...AS SYNOPTIC DRYING AND SURFACE RIDING
DECREASE SNOW INTENSITY FOR FRIDAY. CURRENT PROGS OF 1000-850MB
NORTH FLOW IN EASTERN UPPER SUGGEST NO MAJOR ISSUE THERE...BUT NNW
FLOW IN NORTHERN LOWER WOULD TARGET TVC AREA. GIVEN THIS IS THE 5TH
PERIOD PUTTING SPECIFIC ACCUMS IN IS DIFFICULT...BUT HEAVY SNOW IS
DEFINITELY POSSIBLE. THANKFULLY WINDS WILL DECREASE AS THE GRADIENT
RELAXES. FOR FRIDAY...THAT PRESSURE GRADIENT COLLAPSES...WITH ONLY
WEAK NW FLOW BY AFTERNOON. STILL ABUNDANT INSTABILITY FOR LES...BUT
INCREASING DISORGANIZATION IS EXPECTED AS WIND FIELDS GO LIGHT.

HEADLINES...COMBINATION OF SNOW AND WINDS JUSTIFIES ISSUANCE OF
WINTER STORM WATCHES FOR MUCH OF THE AREA AT THIS TIME. GAVE SOME
THOUGHT TO A BLIZZARD WATCH FOR CHIPPEWA...GIVEN THE FLAT/OPEN
COUNTRY ALONG I-75 CORRIDOR IS VULNERABLE TO THAT SORT OF THING. BUT
FOR NOW APPEARS THE HEAVY SNOW WILL STAY WEST OF THAT AREA.
OTHERWISE...EXPECT NEAR-BLIZZARD CONDITIONS AT TIMES BUT NOTHING
THAT LASTS FOR HOURS ON END. WATCH WILL RUN THRU THURSDAY IN EASTERN
UPPER...THRU THURSDAY NIGHT IN NORTHERN LOWER. PLENTY OF REFINEMENTS
CAN BE EXPECTED FROM FUTURE FORECASTS.

REST OF THE FORECAST STILL CONTAINS ITS SHARE OF UNCERTAINTIES. WILL
CONTINUE TO FAVOR THE SLOWER SOLUTIONS (SUCH AS THE GFS) REGARDING
THE PROGRESSION OF THE DEEP UPPER TROF TO THE EAST. BUT STILL
APPEARS AS THOUGH THE TROF WILL HEAD FOR NEW ENGLAND BY THE END OF
THE WEEKEND. THUS A SLIGHT TEMPERATURE RECOVERY SHOULD BE SEEN BY
SUNDAY/MONDAY. BY SATURDAY MORNING THE ARCTIC SURFACE HIGH IS
ALREADY TO THE EAST WITH SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW IN THE NORTHERN
LAKES. HOWEVER....LOOKS THIS WILL INTERACT WITH A REINFORCING
SHORTWAVE DIVING IN FROM THE NW...AND WILL CONTINUE WITH LIKELY POPS
THRU SATURDAY IN THE WEST (CHANCE EAST). BEYOND THAT...THE HIGH WILL
PIVOT NORTHWARD TOWARD THE EAST SHORE OF HUDSON BAY...WITH RIDGING
EXTENDING SSW TO THE LAKES. LIGHT EASTERLY FLOW AND BUILDING HEIGHTS
MAY ALLOW US A DRY PERIOD OR TWO BY THE END OF THE WEEKEND INTO
MONDAY (WILL PROBABLY KEEP A CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS DOWNWIND OF
HURON). GENERAL CONSENSUS OF THE MODELS HAVE AN UPPER LOW EJECTING
FROM THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES EARLY NEXT WEEK...AND WILL HAVE A CHANCE
OF SNOW FOR TUESDAY IN RESPONSE.

513 AM EST TUE NOV 22 2005

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHERN LOWER AND EASTERN
UPPER MICHIGAN.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY

A STORM SYSTEM EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES WILL
BRING SOME SNOW ACCUMULATIONS TO EASTERN UPPER AND NORTHERN LOWER
MICHIGAN COUNTIES SURROUNDING LAKE MICHIGAN WEDNESDAY.

THIS WILL BE FOLLOWED BY LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS DEVELOPING
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUING THROUGH THANKSGIVING DAY AS COLDER
AIR POURS INTO THE STATE.  HEAVY SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED
WITHIN FAVORED LAKE SUPERIOR AND LAKE MICHIGAN SNOW BELTS THROUGH
THURSDAY NIGHT.

IN ADDITION...STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS ARE FORECAST TO DEVELOP
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUE THROUGH THURSDAY.  THIS INCLUDES GALE
FORCE SUSTAINED WINDS AND POSSIBLY STORM FORCE GUSTS WITHIN THE
NEARSHORE WATERS SURROUNDING EASTERN UPPER AND NORTHERN LOWER
MICHIGAN.  STRONG WINDS COMBINED WITH FRESH SNOW COVER WILL RESULT
IN CONSIDERABLE BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW.

PERSONS ARE URGED TO MONITOR LATER FORECASTS FOR UPDATED INFORMATION
INFORMATION CONCERNING THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY SNOWFALL AND
SIGNIFICANT BLOWING AND DRIFTING...ESPECIALLY THOSE WITH HOLIDAY
TRAVEL PLANS.  SNOW COVERED ROADS AND POOR VISIBILITIES IN FALLING
AND BLOWING SNOW MAY HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON TRAVEL ACROSS
NORTHERN MICHIGAN THROUGH THE HOLIDAY.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED.
