AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
1020 PM EDT WED APR 4 2007

.UPDATE...THE SYSTEM THIS EVENING HAS TRANSITIONED INTO A LAKE
EFFECT SNOW PATTERN WITH THE SNOW BANDS IN A NNW TO NW FORMATION.
WINDS ACROSS THE FORECAST REGION HAS BE DROPPED OFF WITH THE
MAJORITY OF THE GUSTS AROUND 25 KTS AND A FEW NEAR 30 KTS. WITH
THE TRANSITORY NATURE OF THE SNOW BANDS BLIZZARD CONDITIONS (WIND
>35KTS AND VSBY <=1/4SM FOR 3 HOURS) IS UNLIKELY. SO HAVE REPLACED
THE BLIZZARD WARNING WITH A WINTER STORM WARNING. SNOW FALL IN THE
GRIDS LOOKS GOOD AND IN THE REGION THAT I AM MOST CONCERNED WITH
(AROUND TVC) WITH THE BEST BANDS SHOWING MAYBE 3 TO 4 INCHES
ALREADY. THE SNOW BANDS AROUND THE REST OF THE FORECAST AREA ARE
BEING ESTIMATED BY RADAR AROUND 1 TO 3 INCHES.

THE OTHER CONCERN WILL BE IN WESTERN CHIPPEWA COUNTY WHERE 10 S OF
PARADISE THERE WAS 10.8 INCHES TODAY. WITH THE WINDS CONTINUING
THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT THREAT TO TRAVELING AS THE WINDS WILL
CONTINUE TO DO HEAVY BLOWING AND DRIFTING. FARTHER EAST NEAR THE
SOO THE SNOW AMOUNTS WERE AROUND 3 INCHES SO THE BLOWING AND
DRIFTING WILL BE LESS THERE.

ZONES OUT SHORTLY.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 740 PM EDT WED APR 4 2007/

AVIATION...A HOST OF CHANGES IN THE TAFS THIS EVENING AS THE
WINDS SEEM TO BE ON SOMEWHAT OF A DOWNWARD TREND. THIS LEAVES US
WITH THE SNOW BANDS THAT ARE IN A NORTHWEST CONFIGURATION,
SIGNIFYING LAKE EFFECT. SO WITH THAT IN MIND, HAVE CUT A LOT OF
THE TAF IN APN, AS IT WILL BE HARD TO GET ANY BANDS IN THAT AREA
AND THE WIND HAS BEEN RUNNING MORE LIKE 15 KTS WITH GUSTS TO 25
KTS.

PLN IS EXPERIENCING SOME OF THE SAME AS APN WITH THE WINDS
BEGINNING TO TURN MORE TO THE NORTH KEEPING THEM OUT OF THE LAKE
BANDS. WINDS HAVE COME DOWN QUITE A BIT THIS AFTERNOON, SO HAVE
LESSENED THE WINDSPEEDS AS WELL.

TVC IS THE CONCERN WITH THE WINDS NOW TURNING NNW AND A LAKE SNOW
BAND IS BEARING DOWN ON THEM PER KAPX 88D. SO HAVE KEPT THE 1/4
+SN FOR THEM THIS EVENING, UNTIL WE SEE WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE
SNOW BAND. OTHERWISE, THEY WILL PROBABLY SEE THE MOST ACTION
THROUGH THURSDAY AS THE LES IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THERE THROUGH
00Z.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 404 PM EDT WED APR 4 2007/

DISCUSSION...MID AFTERNOON SATELLITE/RUC/RADAR/SURFACE AND UPPER
AIR ANALYSIS SHOWS STEADILY DEEPENING CLOSED MID LEVEL LOW MOVING
EAST THROUGH THE STRAITS REGION WITH ASSOCIATED 992MB SURFACE LOW
ROTATING SLOWLY NORTH JUST NORTH OF MANITOULIN ISLAND. INCREASING
OVER LAKE INSTABILITY (850MB TEMPERATURES DROPPING TO
-14C)...COUPLED WITH ISENTROPIC ASCENT ROTATING AROUND MID LEVEL
FEATURE...RESULTING IN A WIDESPREAD SNOW ACROSS THE NORTHERN
LAKES...PARTICULARLY IN FAVORED NORTHWEST FLOW AREAS. TIGHT PRESSURE
GRADIENT AND STRONG CAA RESULTING IN VERY WINDY CONDITIONS...WITH
SUSTAINED WINDS ON THE ORDER OF 20 TO 30 MPH WITH FREQUENT GUSTS
APPROACHING 30 TO 40 MPH. SNOW HAVING A HARD TIME ACCUMULATING THIS
AFTERNOON GIVING HIGH APRIL SUN ANGLE AND 2 INCH GROUND TEMPERATURES
OF AROUND 40 DEGREES FROM RECENT WARM WEATHER. AS FOR
AMOUNTS...GENERALLY 1 TO 3 INCHES OVER NORTHWEST SECTIONS OF THE
NORTHERN LOWER...WITH UP TO 5 INCHES REPORTED IN NORTHWEST CHIPPEWA
COUNTY. FORECAST CONCERNS TONIGHT CENTER ON SNOW AMOUNTS/WINDS AND
ASSOCIATED WARNINGS AND ADVISORIES.

TONIGHT...JUST PLAIN NASTY. MID LEVEL LOW SLOWLY WOBBLES
EAST/SOUTHEAST TO A POSITION JUST SOUTHEAST OF GEORGIAN BY MORNING
AS SURFACE LOW DRIFTS INTO SOUTHWEST QUEBEC. WEAKENING...BUT
PERSISTENT...TROWAL/285K-290K SURFACE ISENTROPIC ASCENT WILL SLOWLY
PIVOT THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT...CONTINUING THE THREAT OF WIDESPREAD
SNOW. LAKE ENHANCEMENT EXPECTED TO INCREASE THIS EVENING AND
CONTINUE OVERNIGHT AS DELTA T/S INCREASE TO THE UPPER TEENS.
BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS WILL LOCK IN AT 350 DEGREES OVER EASTERN UPPER
TO AROUND 340 DEGREES OVER NORTHWEST LOWER. ALL SIGNALS STILL
SUPPORTING SIGNIFICANT ENHANCEMENT WITH SATURATED CONDITIONS
EXTENDING UP THROUGH 400MB...INVERSION LEVELS AT 4.0-5.0 KFT...LAKE
INDUCED EQUILIBRIUM LEVELS APPROACHING 7 KFT (ESPECIALLY OVER THE
NORTHERN LOWER) AND NEARLY 300 J/KG OF LAKE INDUCED CAPE. IN
ADDITION...WOULD EXPECT DISCRETE BANDING TO BECOME APPARENT WITHIN
LARGER SNOW SHIELD BY LATER THIS EVENING WITH LOSS OF DIURNAL
DISRUPTION. WHILE SHRINKING IN DEPTH...DEEP AGGREGATION LAYER ABOVE
850MB IN PRIME -12C TO -18C DENDRITIC GROWTH ZONE SUPPORTS LARGE
SNOWFLAKE GROWTH AND POTENTIAL RAPID ACCUMULATIONS. IN GENERAL
LOOKING AT AN ADDITIONAL 1 TO 3 INCHES ACROSS THE AREA
TONIGHT...WITH LOCALIZED 5 INCH AMOUNTS IN FAVORED NNW FLOW AREAS.
WINDS ALSO LOOK TO REMAIN A SERIOUS CONCERN...ESPECIALLY THIS
EVENING...WITH TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT REMAINING AND STEEP LOW LEVEL
LAPSE RATES SUPPORTING FREQUENT WIND GUSTS TO 35 MPH OR GREATER
UNTIL DECREASING SOME LATER TONIGHT. THESE WINDS...COUPLED WITH A
MORE POWDERY SNOW (WITH LOWS DROPPING INTO THE TEENS TO AROUND 20)
AND INCREASING SNOW PACK SHOULD EXACERBATE THE BLOWING AND DRIFTING.
DESPITE SOMEWHAT IMPROVING WIND CONDITIONS TONIGHT...FELT BEST
COURSE OF ACTION WAS TO LET RIDE THE BLIZZARD WARNING AND SNOW AND
BLOWING SNOW ADVISORY THROUGH THE NIGHT.

MARINE...GALES WILL RIDE UNTIL THURSDAY AFTERNOON AS TIGHT PRESSURE
GRADIENT...COUPLED WITH STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND INCREASING
OVER WATER INSTABILITY EASILY SUPPORTS FREQUENT WIND GUSTS TO 35
KNOTS OR GREATER.

MSB

LONGER TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.

UPPER LEVEL LONGWAVE TROUGH HANGS OVER THE GREAT LAKES WELL INTO
THIS FORECAST PERIOD WITH NO REAL WARM UP FORESEEN UNTIL THE MIDDLE
OF NEXT WORK WEEK. TEMPERATURES WILL BE MODERATING/WARMING ALOFT
HOWEVER THE LOW LEVEL AIR MASS REMAINS RATHER COLD...LIKE WINTER. IT
WILL NOT BE UNTIL THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WORK WEEK WHEN WE START TO SEE
ANY SIGNIFICANT WARMING RESPONSE AT THE SFC. FORECAST CONCERNS FOR
THIS TIME FRAME WILL BE LAKE EFFECT SNOW AND TEMPERATURES. MORE
SPECIFICALLY...HOW MUCH AND HOW LONG.

THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...CERTAINLY GOING TO BE AN INTERESTING
PERIOD...AS CLOSED AND COLD UPPER LOW IMPACTS THE NE CONUS...WITH
PERIODS OF WEAKISH SHORTWAVE ENERGY AND ASSOCIATED H7-H5 -DIVQ (NOT
SO FAVORABLE FOR HEAVIER SNOWS) WRAPPING BACK INTO MAINLY EASTERN
UPPER FAR NRN LOWER MICHIGAN. COLD H8 TEMPERATURES HOLD AROUND AN
OPTIMAL -16C...SUFFICIENT FOR DELTA TS AROUND 17C ARE ACHIEVED FOR
PERSISTENT LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS. OTHER LES
PARAMETERS...INVERSION HEIGHTS 4-4.5KFT...CONVECTION PAST THE -15C
ISOTHERM...WITH A DEEP AND MOIST ISOTHERMAL LAYER (850-750MB)
WAVERING AROUND THE -15C...ALL FAVORABLE FOR LAKE EFFECT SNOWS. CAN
WE GET HEAVY SNOWS?...VERY POSSIBLE. THIS DUE TO AN EXPECTED MINIMAL
(<30 DEGREE) ALTERATION IN 1000-850MB WIND DIRECTION FOR THIS ENTIRE
TIME FRAME (NNW EASTERN UPPER/NW NORTHERN LOWER...ALSO INDICATIVE OF
NICE CYCLONIC CONVERGENCE). WE HAVE SEEN THE MODELS DO THIS NUMBER
TO US SEVERAL TIMES...AND BANKING ON A VERY MINIMAL CHANGE IN WIND
DIRECTION FOR THIS LONG OF A TIME FRAME MAY ALMOST BE CONSIDERED
SILLY...CONSIDERING INDIVIDUAL SFC TROUGHS THAT ROTATE AROUND THE
SFC LOW. WITH WEAKISH UPPER SUPPORT...AND THE STRONG INFLUENCE OF
HIGH SUN ANGLE IN APRIL LIKELY DISRUPTING ORGANIZED SNOW BANDS AT
NIGHT...WILL PLAY THIS WITH LOW END ADVISORY CRITERIA SNOWS EACH
PERIOD (BASICALLY 2-4). THE HIGHER SNOWS SHOULD OCCUR AT NIGHT WHEN
THE BANDS WILL NOT HAVE TO FIGHT THE DIURNAL DISRUPTION. COMBINE
THIS SNOWFALL ALONG WITH WINDS THAT ARE EXPECTED TO AT LEAST REMAIN
GUSTY TO 25-30 MPH FOR BLOWING SNOW (ESPECIALLY IF DECENT SNOWDEPTHS
ARE AROUND). OVERALL...IT WOULD NOT BE UNLIKELY TO SEE FAR WESTERN
AREAS OF CHIP/MACK IN EASTERN UPPER...AND COMMUNITIES SURROUNDING
KALKASKA AND MANCELONA TO SEE A FOOT OF SNOW BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
WARMER GROUND TEMPERATURES AND DURATION OF TIME THE SNOW WILL BE
FALLING WILL LIKELY RESULT IN DEPTHS LESS THAN THAT...BUT
NONETHELESS...A STRONG STORM SYSTEM FOR APRIL...EVEN IN NRN
MICHIGAN.

FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...THE LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL NOT LEAVE
WITHOUT ONE MORE PUNCH TO NRN MICHIGANS MIDSECTION. FRIDAY NIGHT
SHOWS LES PARAMETERS VERY SIMILAR TO THURSDAY-FRIDAY...ALTHOUGH
THERE IS A SIGN OF H8 WARM NOSE WRAPPING AROUND THE SFC LOW AS IT
RETROGRADES BACK INTO THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES. H8 TEMPS WARM TO -12C
OR SO...KEEPING DELTA TS RIGHT ON 13C. AS THIS OCCURS...WE ALSO GET
WHAT LOOKS TO BE OUR BEST SHOT A SOME UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT (MODEST
H7-H5 -DIVQ) FROM SHORTWAVE ENERGY. THE ISOTHERMAL LAYER ERODES AND
THE SOUNDING OVERALL BECOMES MORE UNSTABLE WITH THIS COLDER AIR
ALOFT ARRIVING. THIS SHOULD LEND MORE CREDENCE TO AFTERNOON DIURNAL
DEVELOPMENT FOR SNOW SHOWERS...MAINLY ACROSS EASTERN SECTIONS OF THE
CWA. WILL HAVE TO CONTINUE LIKELY SNOW SHOWERS FOR BOTH OF THESE
TIME FRAMES...WITH ANOTHER 2-4 OF SNOW IN NNW/NW FLOW REGIMES. THE
DISRUPTION/DIURNAL DEVELOPMENT FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON WOULD NOT LEAD
TO THIS MUCH SNOW...LIKELY UP TO 2 INCHES IN SOME OF THE FAVORED LES
LOCATIONS.

TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE PERIOD WILL BE HIGHS IN THE MIDDLE TO UPPER
20S INTO SATURDAY...WITH LOWS IN THE UPPER TEENS/AROUND 20F. SKIES
WILL GENERALLY REMAIN CLOUDY.

SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS WILL
PERSIST THROUGH AT LEAST SUNDAY NIGHT...GRADUALLY TAPERING OFF
MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT TO LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS OR FLURRIES. THERE
WILL BE SOME CONCERN DEALING WITH TROWAL/WARM AIR WRAPPING BACK INTO
AT LEAST EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN SAT/SAT NIGHT BRINGING H8 TEMPS UP
TO -10C OR SO...WHICH WOULD IMPACT THE FLUX OFF LAKE SUPERIOR AND
DECREASE CHANCES FOR LAKE EFFECT. HOWEVER...THERE WILL BE ENERGY
DROPPING DOWN THE BACK SIDE OF THE LONGWAVE TROUGH ALOFT WHICH WILL
RESULT IN A CHANCE FOR SYNOPTIC SNOWS AS WELL. THESE MORE SPECIFIC
PARAMETERS ARE TOO DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE THIS FAR OUT...BUT JUST
LOOKING AT THE OVERALL PATTERN SUGGESTS THAT CHANCES FOR SNOW ARE
STILL IN ORDER THROUGH MONDAY. AM SURE THAT APRIL SUN ANGLE WILL
PLAY A PART IN ALL OF THIS...WITH DIURNAL SNOW SHOWERS SEEING SOME
RAIN MIXING IN AT TIMES IN THE AFTERNOON...WHERE TEMPS ARE EXPECTED
TO GET UP INTO THE UPPER 30S...AND CERTAINLY MORE CELLULAR NATURE TO
PRECIP IN THE AFTERNOONS. BY TUESDAY...WE ARE ALREADY LOOKING AT
NEXT SHORTWAVE TROUGH LOOKING AT US FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS. LOTS OF
SPREAD IN THE EXTENDED MODELS REGARDING SOLUTIONS AT THIS POINT. GFS
IS RATHER COOL...ALLOWING US TO SEE A WARM ADVECTION SNOW...OR RAIN
AND SNOW SCENARIO WORKING UP FROM THE SW. WILL DO JUST THAT...A
CHANCE OF RAIN OR SNOW.   SMD
