AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
1006 PM EST MON JAN 15 2007

.UPDATE...DEEP CYCLONIC FLOW REMAINS OVER THE WRN GREAT LAKES REGION
LATE THIS EVENING. 500 MB TROUGH EXTENDS FROM JAMES BAY THRU ERN
LAKE SUPERIOR AND NRN WISCONSIN INTO NRN IOWA. CAA CONTINUES ACROSS
NRN MICHIGAN...BUT EVEN COLDER AIR IS POISED NORTH OF LAKE SUPERIOR
BEHIND THE 500 MB TROUGH. SYNOPTIC EVENT OF LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY
EVENING HAS TRANSITIONED TO A NEARLY PURE LAKE EFFECT EVENT. SOME
VERY LIGHT SYNOPTIC SNOW DOES PERSIST ACROSS THE MUCH OF THE CWA...
BUT THE MAIN STORY IS THE PERSISTENT LAKE EFFECT SNOW BANDS
STREAMING SOUTHWARD THRU GRAND TRAVERSE BAY INTO THE TRAVERSE CITY
AREA AND ADDITIONAL BANDS IMPACTING THE LEELANAU PENINSULA AND NRN
BENZIE COUNTY. LAKE EFFECT SNOW ADVISORY CONTINUES FOR THESE AREAS.
NUMEROUS SPOTTERS WITHIN THE ADVISORY AREA REPORT AROUND 2 TO 3
INCHES OF NEW SNOW ACCUMULATION SO FAR THIS EVENING...WHICH MATCHES
WELL WITH EXPECTATIONS. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF THERE ARE SOME
ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS...BUT THE ADVISORY IS PANNING OUT WELL
OVERALL.

WILL MAINTAIN THE ADVISORY FOR THE OVERNIGHT HOURS WITH ANOTHER INCH
OR TWO EXPECTED IN THESE AREAS BEFORE LOW LEVEL WINDS BEGIN TO SHIFT
TO A MORE NW TRAJECTORY...SERVING TO DISRUPT CURRENT BANDED
STRUCTURE AND REDISTRIBUTE SNOWFALL FURTHER INLAND ACROSS THE
SNOWBELT REGIONS OF ERN UPR AND NRN LOWER MICHIGAN. SEVERAL FACTORS
MODIFY AND ULTIMATELY BECOME LIMITATIONS OVERNIGHT. SHIFTING WINDS
VERY LATE TONIGHT WILL LIMIT SNOWFALL WITHIN A GIVEN AREA. 900-700
MB RH DROPS TO AROUND 50 PERCENT TOWARD MORNING...ALSO LIMITING THE
POTENTIAL FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW WITHIN THE TYPICAL NW FLOW SNOWBELT
REGIONS. DO NOT ANTICIPATE THE NEED FOR ANY HEADLINES FOR THE NW
FLOW AREAS AT THIS TIME DUE TO LIMITATIONS. 500 MB TROUGH WILL SLIDE
THRU THE REGION ON TUESDAY...REINFORCING ONGOING CAA AND DROPPING
850 MB TEMPS TO AROUND -20 C BY AFTERNOON. THIS DOSE OF VERY COLD
AIR WILL FURTHER LIMIT THE POTENTIAL FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW BY
LIMITING DENDRITIC.

.PREV DISCUSSION...ISSUED 546 PM EST MON JAN 15 2007

UPDATE...QUICK UPDATE TO THE FORECAST TO ISSUE A LAKE EFFECT SNOW
ADVISORY FOR LEELANAU...BENZIE AND GRAND TRAVERSE COUNTIES THROUGH
TONIGHT FOR 3 TO 5 INCHES OF NEW SNOW. LATEST RADAR TRENDS OVER THE
PAST COUPLE OF HOURS SHOWS THREE DISTINCT LAKE BANDS HAVE SET UP
ACROSS THE LEELANAU PENINSULA AND GRAND TRAVERSE BAY. LATEST OB FROM
TVC SHOWS 3/4SM VSBY...WITH THE HEART OF THE BAND ACTUALLY JUST WEST
OF THE AIRPORT. LITTLE CHANGES DURING THE EVENING AS LOW LEVEL WIND
TRAJECTORIES STAY ALMOST DUE NORTH...850 MB TEMPS HOLD AROUND -15 TO
-16 C AND PLENTY OF MOISTURE REMAINS IN PLACE...ALL OF WHICH LEND TO
PERSISTENT NORTH/SOUTH LAKE EFFECT BANDED STRUCTURE ACROSS THE
ADVISORY AREA.

DISCUSSION (ISSUED 327 PM EST MON JAN 15 2007)...COLD CONVEYOR BELT
SNOW CONTINUES TO WORK THRU THE FORECAST AREA. RADAR AND MODEL
TRENDS SUPPORT SYNOPTIC PRECIP LARGELY FIZZLING BY 00Z/7 PM.
HOWEVER...THE LAKES ARE GETTING MORE INTO THE PICTURE...AS CAN BE
SEEN ON KGRB RADAR WITH A PROMINENT BAY DE NOC BAND IN NE FLOW. LAKE
EFFECT SNOW (LES) IS THE CLEAR MAIN CHALLENGE FOR TONIGHT AND
TUESDAY.

TONIGHT...ORIGINAL SURFACE LOW MOVING RAPIDLY EASTWARD ACROSS
UPSTATE NY...AND IS ABOUT TO JUMP OFF THE COAST. STRONG/COLD HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BE ANCHORED ACROSS THE PLAINS...WITH CHARACTERISTIC
RIDGING NOSING NORTH OF SUPERIOR...AND LAKE-INDUCED TROFFING FROM
CENTRAL HURON TO CENTRAL SUPERIOR. NORTHERLY FLOW/COLD ADVECTION
WILL LOWER 850MB TEMPS FROM -14C OR SO CURRENTLY...TO -17C BY 09Z.
1000-850MB WINDS WILL SPEND THE EVENING FROM DUE NORTH...BACKING NNW
OVERNIGHT. THE STABLE FETCH AND DEEPER MOISTURE THIS EVENING EARLY
OVERNIGHT IS THE MAIN CONCERN...AS SOME DRYING WILL ACCOMPANY THE
WIND SHIFT LATE.

EASTERN UPPER IS IN AN UNFAVORABLE FETCH TIL QUITE LATE...WHEN
DRYING IS ARRIVING...AND ACCUMS THERE WILL BE MINIMAL. THE MAIN
CONCERNS ARE NORTHERN LOWER...AND IN PARTICULAR WHETHER ANY
SIGNIFICANT BANDING EMERGES (LIKE ON THE DOOR PENINSULA THIS
AFTERNOON) AS THE SYNOPTIC PRECIP WANES. SO FAR THERE IS NO SIGN OF
SUCH BANDING OVER HERE...WHICH WOULD BE GOOD...AS THE FETCH FOR THE
EVENING/EARLY OVERNIGHT IS IDEAL FOR BOTH AN FKS/MBL BAND...AND/OR
FOR A GD TRAVERSE BAY BAND TO HIT TVC. JUST IN THE LAST
HALF-HOUR...A WEAK GD TRAVERSE BAY BAND HAS EMERGED ON APX RADAR.
REMAINS TO BE SEEN IF SNOWFALL RATES CAN HOLD UP AFTER SYNOPTIC SNOW
DEPARTS. SO IT SEEMS PRUDENT (THOUGH UNEASILY SO) TO SLIGHTLY REDUCE
SNOWFALL AMOUNTS TONIGHT FOR TVC/CAD AND POINTS WEST TO 1-3 INCHES.
WILL KICK UP SNOWFALL AMOUNTS FOR APN AND SURROUNDINGS INTO THE SAME
RANGE. OTHERWISE SNOW AMOUNTS FOR THE NIGHT (AFTER 7 PM) WILL BE
MINIMAL...AND NO HEADLINES ARE PLANNED FOR THE NIGHT. TEMPS WILL BE
CHILLY...SINGLE DIGITS IN EASTERN UPPER/INTERIOR NORTHERN LOWER...
TEENS ON THE COASTS.

TUESDAY...A MORE CLASSIC NW FLOW WILL BE ESTABLISHED BY MID-MORNING
AS HIGH PRESSURE APPROACHES THE MID MS VALLEY. AN 850MB THERMAL TROF
WILL ARRIVE FROM THE NW...WITH 850MB TEMPS A VERY CHILLY -22C ON
EASTERN SUPERIOR...AND -19C OVER FAR NORTHERN LOWER MI. HOWEVER...
THIS VERY LARGE INSTABILITY (DELTA T/S INTO THE MID 20S) WILL BE
COMPENSATED FOR BY A DRY AIRMASS (850-700MB RH 30-40 PERCENT). IN
ADDITION...THAT AIRMASS ON EASTERN SUPERIOR IS GETTING A BIT TOO
COLD FOR GOOD SNOWFLAKE GROWTH...WITH THE ENTIRE SOUNDING EXCEPT THE
SURFACE COLDER THAN -10C. WILL KEEP ACCUMS IN THE 1-3 RANGE IN THE
PRIME NW FLOW AREAS (WEST OF THE SAULT...AND MANCELONA/GAYLORD/
GRAYLING AREA). OTHERWISE JUST A FEW SNOW SHOWERS WITH PARTLY CLOUDY
CONDITIONS. MAX TEMPS WILL BE IN THE TEENS IN EASTERN UPPER...NEAR
20 TO THE LOWER 20S IN NORTHERN LOWER.

ZOLTOWSKI

LONG TERM...MODELS HAVE BEEN A RELATIVE PERIOD OF AGREEMENT THE LAST
WEEK OR SO WITH THE MAIN DIFFERENCES BEING IN THE MOISTURE FIELDS.
THIS IS THE CASE AGAIN TODAY. SO THE MAIN CONCERN WITH TUESDAY NIGHT
THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT TIME FRAME WILL BE THE CESSATION OF LES ON
TUESDAY NIGHT AND BEGINNING OF SNOW ON THURSDAY NIGHT AS A WARM
FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE REGION.

TUESDAY NIGHT...THE 500 MB RIDGE BEGINS TO BUILD INTO THE GREAT
LAKES AND THE SFC HIGH MOVES INTO THE REGION WITH THE MAIN SFC RIDGE
AXIS NOW TO THE EAST AS THE GFS SHOWS OR OVER N LOWER AS THE NAM
SHOWS. THIS SHOULD SHUT OFF THE LES, BUT AS WE KNOW THIS COULD BE
SUBJECT TO CHANGE AS THE FLOW MORPHS OVER THE UPCOMING DAYS. SO HAVE
THE EVENING PLAYED WITH A CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS IN THE MOST LIKELY
NW FLOW ZONE AND DRY ELSEWHERE. THEN AS THE 850 MB DRY AIR (RH
AROUND 25-30%) HAS MOVED IN BY 12Z, EXPECT THAT ALL SNOW WILL HAVE
STOPPED OVERNIGHT.

WEDNESDAY...HIGH PRESSURE IS IN THE REGION WITH THE SFC LOW HAVING
PULLED OFF TO THE EAST. WILL KEEP THE DRY FORECAST AS THE 850 MB RH
REMAINS AT OR BELOW 20%, EVEN WITH THE RETURN FLOW. THE 500 MB RIDGE
AXIS IS OVER THE REGION, SO ANY 700-500 MB MOISTURE IN THE REGION
WILL GOT TO MAKING MID AND HIGH CLOUDS.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THE SFC FLOW WILL BE CONTINUE TO BE DRY(THE 850 MB
RH REMAINS BELOW 40%), KEEPING THE FORECAST DRY AS WELL, DESPITE THE
SPOKE OF MOISTURE THAT MOVES THROUGH N LOWER IN THE 700-500 MB
LAYER.

THURSDAY...THE SFC HIGH MOVES TO THE EAST WITH THE SW FLOW LOOKING
TO KICK IN SOME LAKE ENHANCED SNOW AS THE 850 MB TEMPERATURES REMAIN
AROUND -10C, ALLOWING FOR DELTA TS OF 15C AND WITH THE 850-700 MB
MOISTURE INCREASING TO AROUND 90% WOULD EXPECT THAT THE SNOW SHOWERS
IN E UPPER AND NW LOWER ALONG THE LAKE MICHIGAN SHORELINE IS
BECOMING MORE A POSSIBILITY. THERE IS A MINOR TIMING DIFFERENCE IN
THE WIND DIRECTION CHANGE IN THE 1000-850 MB LAYER. THE GFS IS WSW
AT 18Z AND THE NAM IS SW AT 18Z. SO HAVE SPREAD THE CHANCE OF SNOW
AROUND IN THE MORNING WHEN THE SNOW WOULD START (SOMETIME AFTER
12Z). IN THE AFTERNOON, HAVE GONE WITH PRIMARILY A WSW FLOW PATTERN
AS BOTH MODELS AGREE ON THAT SCENARIO. OVERNIGHT, THE FLOW SWITCHES
NW AND WITH THE RAPID DIRECTION CHANGE, LEFT POP IN THE CHANCE
CATEGORY AS THE BANDS GET ESTABLISHED.

EXTENDED (FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY)...STARTING OFF WITH SOME
OBSERVATIONAL DATA IN THE UPPER AIR, LOOKING AT THE 500 MB HOVMOLLER
DIAGRAM FOR 50-45N LATITUDE, THERE ARE SOME HINTS TODAY THAT THERE
COULD BE A WEAKENING IN THE STAGNATE PATTERN. THE MAIN THING IS THAT
EVEN THOUGH THERE IS SOME RETROGRADING IN A FEW OF THE TROUGH RIDGE
SYSTEMS, THE OVERALL STRENGTH OF THE TROUGHS AND RIDGES ARE
BEGINNING TO WEAKEN A BIT. THIS WOULD LEAD TO A MORE PROGRESSIVE
PATTERN FOR A TIME, BEFORE THE NEXT WAVES WOULD SET UP. THE TRENDS
IN THE RIDGE AND TROUGH PATTERNS ARE POINTING TOWARD THE ECMWF OP
AND THE GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN AT 00Z. THE 06Z GFS OP IS IN PRETTY GOOD
AGREEMENT AT 500 MB AND IN THE SFC PRESSURE PATTERN AS WELL. LOOKING
AT THE HPC IDEA, THIS SEEMS REASONABLE. SO THE FORECAST WILL GO LIKE
THIS...FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, THE COLD FRONT DOESNT MOVE MUCH AT ALL
AND AS LONG AS THE MOISTURE HOLDS OUT, WOULD EXPECT THAT THE SNOW
SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE. 850 TEMPERATURES E UPPER AND N LOWER ON THE
OPERATIONAL MODELS (GFS AND ECMWF) AND GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN ARE AROUND
-14C ON FRIDAY AND -20C ON SATURDAY, SO WOULD EXPECT THAT THE CHANCE
FOR SNOW WILL BE THERE WITH THE LES POSSIBILITY. IN MY OPINION THIS
IS STILL THE BEST SET UP FOR SUSTAINED LES THIS WINTER SO FAR, IF
THIS SCENARIO CONTINUES TO HOLD, WHICH WITH THE MODELS IN PRETTY
GOOD AGREEMENT AND SOME RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY, IT LOOKS GOOD.
SUNDAY, THE CLIPPER SYSTEM THAT THE GFS MEAN WAS ADVERTISING
YESTERDAY IS NOW ON THE ECMWF AND 06Z GFS OP, THOUGH THE TIMING IS
STILL A BIT IN QUESTION. MONDAY, THIS COULD BE A THE NEXT SNOW
SYSTEM THAT WOULD GIVE US A GOOD DUMP, IF THINGS COME TOGETHER. THE
WARM FRONT IS PAINTED ACROSS S LOWER FOR THE MORNING, SO WILL GO
WITH CHANCE OF SNOW (850 TEMPERATURES ARE STILL AROUND -10C AT THE
OUTSET). IF THE GFS MEAN IS RIGHT THE SOUTHERN TRACK MIGHT KEEP THE
SNOW IN THE REGION, WHILE THE CURRENT HPC TRACK, WHICH IS A BIT MORE
NORTH, MIGHT SHIFT US TO RAIN UNTIL THE LOW GOES BY.
