AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
415 PM EST WED FEB 15 2006

.DISCUSSION...SURFACE RIDGING CONTINUES TO BUILD INTO NRN
MICHIGAN...WITH THE PARENT HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM REMAINING OVER THE
NRN PLAINS. VIGOROUS SURFACE LOW IS GAINING STRENGTH OVER THE
CENTRAL PLAINS...WITH A WELL-DEFINED WARM FRONT EXTENDING FROM THE
SURFACE LOW THRU CENTRAL MISSOURI AND ILLINOIS. LATEST IR SATELLITE
LOOP CONTINUES TO SHOW AN ELONGATED AREA OF COOLER CLOUD TOPS NORTH
OF THE WARM FRONT AS WAA/ISENTROPIC LIFT STRENGTHENS AS WELL. DRY
MID LEVEL AIR HAS ENDED ALL SYNOPTICALLY DRIVEN SNOW ACROSS NRN
LOWER MICHIGAN...AND HAS ACTUALLY ALLOWED FOR SOME PEAKS OF SUN THIS
AFTERNOON. ONLY SCATTERED LIGHT LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS REMAIN OVER
ERN UPPER MICHIGAN WHERE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS STILL DEEP ENOUGH TO
PRODUCE PRECIP. ALL REMAINS QUIET ON THE HOME FRONT THROUGH MUCH OF
THIS EVENING...AS ALL EYES TURN UPSTREAM TO THAT STRONG SURFACE LOW
HEADING NE TOWARD MICHIGAN. PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERNS THROUGH FRIDAY
WILL BE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY SNOWFALL... FREEZING RAIN AND STRONG
WINDS AS THIS SYSTEM MOVES THRU THE STATE.

TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING...AS MENTIONED ABOVE...THE EVENING
REMAINS FAIRLY QUIET AS MID LEVEL DRY AIR STAYS FIRMLY IN PLACE
ACROSS THE CWA. STRENGTHENING ISENTROPIC ASCENT (I290) AND
INCREASING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL GRADUALLY ERODE THE MID LEVEL DRY
AIR TOWARD MID EVENING. STRONG OMEGA FIELDS ALOFT DEVELOP WITHIN
FAVORABLE TEMP REGIME OVERNIGHT...AT THE SAME TIME ISENTROPIC LIFT
MAXIMIZES AND DRY LAYER COMPLETELY ERODES. MIXING RATIOS INCREASE TO
AROUND 3 TO 4 G/KG AT THIS TIME. PERIOD OF GOOD LIFT AND MOISTURE
WILL ONLY LAST FOR AROUND 6 HOURS...THUS EXPECT A GENERAL AREA OF 2
TO 4 INCHES FOR LOCATIONS ALONG AND SOUTH OF M 32 OVERNIGHT WITH
HIGHEST AMOUNTS ALONG THE SRN TIER OF COUNTIES. LOCATIONS NORTH OF M
32 TO THE STRAITS WILL SEE 1 TO 3 INCHES OVERNIGHT...WITH ERN UPR
MICHIGAN ONLY SEEING AN INCH OR LESS. DRY AIR WILL MAKE A BRIEF
REAPPEARANCE THURSDAY MORNING BETWEEN THIS INITIAL WAVE OF ENERGY
MOVING THRU OVERNIGHT AND THE MAIN WAVE OF ENERGY WITH THE SURFACE
LOW ITSELF THAT WILL IMPACT THE REGION THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT.
THUS...EXPECT A BIT OF A LULL IN THE ACTION DURING THURSDAY
MORNING...ALTHOUGH DO NOT EXPECT SNOW WILL COME TO A COMPLETE END.
STILL EXPECT CATEGORICAL TO LIKELY POPS INTO THURSDAY MORNING FOR
NRN LOWER MICHIGAN AND CHANCE IN ERN UPPER MICHIGAN...BUT SNOWFALL
INTENSITIES WILL BE LIGHT DUE TO LAKE OF DEEP MOISTURE AND PRESENCE
OF ONLY WEAK LIFT BETWEEN THE TWO WAVES OF ENERGY. AS FAR AS
HEADLINE MANAGEMENT...WILL ISSUE A WINTER STORM WARNING BEGINNING
LATE TONIGHT FOR LOCATIONS ALONG AND SOUTH OF M 32 IN NRN LOWER
MICHIGAN...AND WILL MAINTAIN THIS HEADLINE THROUGH THE DAY ON FRIDAY
AS THIS LOOKS TO BE A PROLONGED HAZARDOUS WINTER WEATHER EVENT (SEE
MORE DETAILS FOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND BEYOND IN DISCUSSION
BELOW).

LONGER TERM (THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY)...THE MORE
INTENSE PORTION OF THE STORM IS EXPECTED TO AFFECT THE AREA STARTING
THURSDAY AFTERNOON. THE RAMPING UP OF THIS SYSTEM ALONG WITH THE
FORM OF PRECIPITATION ACROSS SOUTHEAST COUNTIES WILL BE THE MAIN
EMPHASIS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS PACKAGE.

THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY...MODELS ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT
THAT THE IMPRESSIVE STORM SYSTEM WILL ROCKET NORTHEAST FROM A
POSITION IN THE VICINITY OF KANSAS EARLY THURSDAY MORNING...ACROSS
THE THUMB OF MICHIGAN EARLY THURSDAY NIGHT...THEN INTO SOUTHEAST
ONTARIO FRIDAY MORNING. STRONG FORCING ALONG WITH COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF
MOISTURE VIA THE GULF OF MEXICO WILL ACCOMPANY THIS SYSTEM DUE TO A
VERY IMPRESSIVE BAROCLINIC ZONE (850 MB TEMPERATURES RANGE FROM -16C
ACROSS THE WESTERN UPPER PENINSULA TO PLUS 8 ACROSS SOUTHEAST LOWER).
IN ADDITION...A VERY TIGHT SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THE
EVENTUAL 997 MB LOW PRESSURE AND 1050 MB HIGH PRESSURE (ACROSS SOUTH
CENTRAL CANADA) WILL LEAD TO STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS (20 TO 30 MPH
WITH GUSTS TO 40 MPH). STRONG Q-VECTOR AND JET STREAM FORCING
ARRIVE THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE INTO THURSDAY EVENING (GFS
EVEN LINGERS THIS INTO EARLY FRIDAY). THEREFORE...HEAVY SNOW (AN
INCH AN HOUR+) EXPECTED TO SPREAD ACROSS THE REGION THURSDAY
AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. IN ADDITION...EXTENSIVE
BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW IS EXPECTED LEADING TO NEAR BLIZZARD
CONDITIONS THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. MODEL SOUNDINGS/CROSS
SECTIONS SHOW WARM AIR NOSING INTO SOUTHEAST ZONES SO A PERIOD OF
FREEZING RAIN IS EXPECTED THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING LEADING TO
SOME ICE ACCUMULATION. STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL THEN CHANGE
PRECIPITATION BACK TO ALL SNOW LATER THURSDAY EVENING WITH LAKE
ENHANCEMENT ENTERING INTO THE EQUATION. SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS OF
BETWEEN A FOOT AND A FOOT AND A HALF WITH ISOLATED AMOUNTS AS HIGH
AS 20 INCHES ARE EXPECTED BY FRIDAY. SYSTEM SNOW WILL GIVE WAY TO
LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS (NORTHWEST FLOW) ON FRIDAY WITH CONTINUED
EXTENSIVE BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW. LOWS THU NIGHT EXPECTED TO BE
IN THE SINGLE DIGITS WITH HIGHS FRI ONLY IN THE TEENS.

AS FAR AS HEADLINES GO...WILL START WINTER STORM WARNINGS ACROSS THE
REMAINDER OF NORTHERN LOWER AS WELL AS IN EASTERN UPPER THURSDAY
AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE THEM THROUGH FRIDAY.

FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY...NORTHWEST FLOW LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS
ARE EXPECTED WEST OF INTERSTATE 75 WITH A CHANCE TO THE EAST. NAM IS
QUITE A BIT DRIER THAN GFS SO ACCUMULATIONS COULD RANGE FROM A
COUPLE TO AS MUCH AS A FEW INCHES. THIS CAN BE NARROWED DOWN BY
LATER SHIFTS. WINDS WILL TAPER DOWN FRIDAY EVENING BUT REMAIN ON THE
BRISK SIDE THROUGH SATURDAY. VERY COLD TEMPERATURES WITH LOWS WITHIN
A FEW DEGREES OF ZERO FRIDAY NIGHT AND HIGHS STRUGGLING TO BREAK
INTO DOUBLE DIGITS ABOVE ZERO ON SATURDAY.

SUNDAY THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY...MEAN TROUGH CONTINUES TO BE ANCHORED
ACROSS THE CENTRAL STATES LEADING TO BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND
CHANCES FOR LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS. HIGHS WILL BE IN THE UPPER
TEENS AND 20S WITH LOWS RANGING FROM AROUND ZERO TO THE MIDDLE
TEENS.
