AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
1132 AM EDT TUE APR 3 2007

...MAJOR WINTER STORM DEVELOPING...
...EMERGENCY TRAVEL ONLY TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY...ESPECIALLY ACROSS
THE NORTH CENTRAL U.P....

.SYNOPSIS...
14Z WATER VAPOR LOOP...12Z RAOBS AND RUC 500MB HEIGHT ANALYSIS
SHOWED A SHRTWV TROUGH DEEPENIONG OVER EASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA INTO SW
MN AND RIDGING ACROSS THE STATE OF MI. THE DEEPENING CAN ALSO BE
SEEN NEAR THE TROPOPAUSE WITH A 90-100KT JET STREAK DEVELOPING FROM
ST. CLOUD MN NORTHEAST TO FAR NORTHERN LAKE SUPERIOR. DPVA AHEAD OF
THE SHRTWV TROUGH...UPPER DIVERGENCE IN THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF
THE JET STREAK AND INCREASING MID-LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS HAS HELPED IN
DEVELOPING AND INTENSIFYING PCPN OVER THE NORTHERN 2/3 OF MN...
NORTHWEST WI AND INTO THE WESTERN UPPER PENINSULA. THE FRONTOGENESIS
CAN BE SEEN BY BANDED FEATURES IN THE RADAR IMAGERY. IN ADDITION...
ALONG THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE PCPN IN CENTRAL MN...STEEPER LAPSE
RATES HAVE LED TO A FEW LIGHTNING STRIKES. ALMOST ALL OF THE PCPN IS
SNOW...WITH ONLY A FEW REPORTS OF LIGHT RAIN ALONG THE SOUTHERN
EDGE. IN FACT...THE OBSERVATION IN DULUTH HAS HAD SNOWFALL RATES OF
AN INCH PER HOUR ALREADY. AT THE SURFACE...1004 MB LOW PRESSURE IS
LOCATED JUST TO THE NE OF DUBUQUE WHILE 1049MB HIGH PRESSURE IS
LOCATED UP IN NW MANITOBA. A TIGHT TEMPERATURE GRADIENT EXITS AT
850MB BETWEEN THESE FEATURES...WITH A 2C AND 5C READINGS AT MPX AND
GRB RESPECTIVELY...WHILE INL AND ABR ARE AROUND -11C. EVEN FARTHER
TO THE NW...A -19C REPORT CAME IN JUST SOUTH OF WINNIPEG. LAST ITEM
TO NOTE IS DENSE FOG THAT DEVELOPED AROUND 730 AM OVER THE HIGHER
TERRAIN OF THE NORTH CENTRAL U.P.. DEWPOINTS IN THE LOW 30S OVER
LAKE SUPERIOR UPSLOPED THIS MORNING ON NE WINDS AND APPEARED TO BE
ENOUGH TO PRODUCE THE FOG. ISSUED A DENSE FOG ADVISORY EARLIER TO
ACCOUNT FOR THE FOG.

&&

.UPDATE...
MAIN UPDATE CONCERN IS PCPN COVERAGE...TYPE AND AMOUNTS FOR THIS
AFTERNOON...AND AMOUNTS/WINDS FOR TONIGHT.

LOCAL RAPID UPDATE WRF-ARW RUN...13 KM RUC AND THE 12Z NAM HAVE A
GOOD DEPICTION ON THE CURRENT LOW TRACK AND PCPN COVERAGE. COMMA
HEAD DEVELOPING OVER DULUTHS FORECAST AREA INTO THE WESTERN U.P.
SHOULD CONTINUE TO EXPAND AND INTENSIFY...DUE TO THE SHRTWV TROUG
OVER SW MINNESOTA DEEPENING AND CLOSING OFF INTO AN UPPER LOW NEAR
MINNEAPOLIS BY 00Z. SINCE THE BEST AREA OF LIFT IS OCCURING OVER THE
WESTERN HALF OF THE U.P....PARICULARLY WEST OF A LINE FROM
MICHIGAMME TO CRYSTAL FALLS...HAVE RAISED QPF AMOUNTS THERE. LOCAL
WRF-ARW RUN SUGGESTS AROUND 0.50 INCH OF QPF...WHICH MAY NOT BE OUT
OF THE QUESTION. SINCE THERE IS GOOD LIFT BOTH WITHIN THE DENDRITIC
SNOW GROWTH ZONE AND IN THE AGGREGATION LAYER BETWEEN THE SURFACE
AND 5000 FT...THE SNOW SHOULD BE WET WITH SNOW TO WATER RATIOS
AROUND 10 TO 1. FARTHER EAST...IT APPEARS THE PCPN MAY TAKE A WHILE
TO GET GOING DUE TO DRY AIR JUST OFF THE SURFACE...SOME OF WHICH WAS
ANALYZED BY THE 12Z APX SOUNDING. HAVE ADJUSTED THE GRIDS TO ACCOUNT
FOR THE DELAYED TIMING. HOWEVER...PCPN SHOULD STILL GET IN THERE
LATE THIS AFTERNOON AS MID LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS INCREASES. AS FAR AS
TYPE GOES...GIVEN THAT SURFACE TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE MID 30S OVER
THE SOUTH CENTRAL...IT STILL REMAINS POSSIBLE THAT THE PCPN MAY
START OFF AS A RAIN OR RAIN/SNOW MIX. REGARDING THE CURRENT FOG
ISSUE OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL...ONCE THE SNOW GETS GOING AT A HARDER
RATE THAN WHAT IT IS DOING RIGHT NOW...THE FOG SHOULD DISSIPATE
SOME...AT LEAST OUT OF DENSE FOG CRITERIA. THEREFORE WILL LET THE
ADVISORY END AT 2 PM EDT. ONLY OTHER ADJUSTMENT TO THE TODAY PORTION
OF THE FORECAST WAS TO INCREASE THE WINDS QUICKER TO GALES ON THE
WEST THIRD OF LAKE SUPERIOR. THIS IS DUE TO WIND GUSTS ALREADY NEAR
GALES AT DEVILS ISLAND...AND THESE SHOULD ONLY INCREASE AS THE UPPER
AND SURFACE SYSTEMS DEEPEN.

FOR TONIGHT INTO WED...THE WEATHER LOOKS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS ACROSS
THE CWA...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTH. MODELS ARE COMING INTO VERY
GOOD AGREEMENT...SHOWING THE 500MB UPPER LOW DEEPENING ABOUT 100
METERS AS IT MOVES TO NEAR THE SLEEPING BEAR DUNES LAKESHORE AROUND
12Z. THIS DEEPENING CAUSE THE SURFACE LOW TO LIFT UP TO NORTHERN
LAKE HURON BY 12Z AND DEEPEN AROUND 10 MB. AS THIS OCCURS...WINDS
WILL RAPIDLY INTENSIFY...WITH 45 KT WINDS ON EASTERN LAKE SUPERIOR
LIKELY BY 12Z WED. THESE MAY BE UPGRADED TO 50 KT ON THE NEXT GLF
ISSUANCE. GIVEN THE STRONG WINDS...THE TRAVEL SHOULD BECOME VERY
DIFFICULT OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL U.P. AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.

LAST ITEM TO NOTE...12Z NAM QPF FOR 21Z TUE TO 03Z THU (36 HR) IS
2.35 FOR THE HURON MOUNTAINS INTO THE NEGAUNEE AREA...WITH A BROAD 1
TO 2 INCH AREA FOR THE REST OF THE NORTHERN U.P.. IF THIS IS
CORRECT...THIS WOULD TURN OUT TO BE CLOSE TO OR ABOVE THE RECORD
GREATEST 2 DAY SNOW FOR APRIL AT THE OFFICE.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
THE MAIN CONCERN WITH THIS FORECAST PACKAGE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR
SNOW TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND RUC SHOWING A LONGWAVE TROUGH OVER CENTRAL
NORTH AMERICA...WITH WEAK RIDGES OVER THE GREAT LAKES AND OVER THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST. SURFACE ANALYSIS INSIST ON A LOW JUST SOUTHEAST
OF JAMES BAY AND A DEEPER LOW OVER EASTERN IOWA. A WARM FRONT
EXTENDS EAST FROM THE SECOND LOW ACROSS THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY. A
COLD FRONT DRAPES SOUTHWEST THROUGH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA. LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE WRAPPING AROUND THIS LOW IS FEEDING THUNDERSTORMS OVER
NEBRASKA AND IOWA THIS MORNING AND SOME SNOW OVER THE NORTHERN
PLAINS.

THE MID LEVEL TROUGH WILL DEEPEN INTO A CLOSED LOW OVER MINNESOTA
TODAY AS THE RIDGE OVER THE FORECAST AREA SHIFTS EAST TO THE
ONTARIO/QUEBEC BORDER. SHORTWAVE ENERGY WRAPPING AROUND THIS LOW
WILL DEVELOP AND SWING THROUGH WISCONSIN TODAY. THE SURFACE LOW WILL
MOVE OUT OF EASTERN IOWA INTO THE KGRR AREA OF LOWER MICHIGAN
DRAGGING THE COLD FRONT INTO INDIANA AND WESTERN KENTUCKY BY 00Z
WEDNESDAY. A RIDGE WILL PUSH INTO SOUTH CENTRAL CANADA AND DAKOTAS.
850-500MB Q-VECTOR CONVERGENCE WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE AREA AHEAD
OF THE MID LEVEL LOW. THE SURFACE WINDS NORTH OF THE LOW WILL SHIFT
NORTH ACROSS THE AREA. THE GREATEST AMOUNT OF DEEP MOISTURE WILL BE
FOCUSED OVER THE FORECAST AREA AROUND 00Z THIS EVENING.

THE MID LEVEL LOW WILL SHIFT TO NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN WITH
SHORTWAVE ENERGY SWOOPING ABOVE LOWER MICHIGAN TONIGHT. THE SURFACE
LOW WILL MANEUVER OVER NORTHERN LAKE HURON KEEPING THE WINDS OUT OF
THE NORTH. 290K ISENTROPIC ANALYSIS INDICATE ASCENT NORTH OF THE LOW
WHICH WILL HELP TO PRODUCE LIFT OVER THE AREA. THE AREA OF Q-VECTOR
CONVERGENCE WILL SHIFT TO THE EASTERN U.P. THE BASE OF LOWEST
INVERSION WILL BE AROUND 3K FEET. THUS CAN EXPECT SOME LAKE EFFECT
ENHANCEMENT AS WELL. THE LOW INVERSION WILL HELP TO LIMIT SNOWFALL.
THE NORTH SHORE OF THE FORECAST AREA WILL RECEIVED THE HEAVIEST
AMOUNT MAINLY OVER THE EASTERN U.P. BY LATE OVERNIGHT.

THE MID LEVEL LOW WILL MOVE GEORGIAN BAY ON WEDNESDAY. THE STRONGEST
SHORTWAVE ENERGY WILL ROTATE ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES. THE
SURFACE LOW WILL LIKEWISE MOVE THROUGH NORTHERN GEORGIAN BAY.
ISENTROPIC ASCENT WILL DIMINISH THROUGH THE DAY AND THE Q-VECTOR
CONVERGENCE WILL MOVE INTO EAST CENTRAL ONTARIO. DEEP MOISTURE WILL
ALSO SHIFT EAST. THE LOWEST INVERSION WILL LIFT TO 4.5K FEET. THUS
SNOWFALL SHOULD DIMINISH.

THE MID LEVEL LOW WILL MOVE TO THE QUEBEC BORDER WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
DRIER AIR WILL ADVECT INTO THE AREA AROUND 800 MB AND ABOVE. THE
LOWEST INVERSION WILL REMAIN AROUND 4.5K FEET. THE MEAN RH BELOW
850MB WILL REMAIN AROUND 90 PERCENT OVER THE AREA. THE NORTHERN
PLAINS RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD. A WEAK SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. THE 850MB TEMPERATURE WILL BE AROUND -17C
OVER LAKE SUPERIOR. SURFACE WINDS WILL SHIFT A LITTLE WEST OF NORTH.
PURE LAKE EFFECT SNOWS WILL BE THE RULE.

THE MID LEVEL LOW OVER THE ONTARIO BORDER WILL STALL OUT AND BECOME
ELONGATED BACK ACROSS CENTRAL ONTARIO ON THURSDAY. SHORTWAVES
ROTATING AROUND THIS LOW WILL SWEEP THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA. LOW
LEVEL RH WILL WILL REMAIN OVER THE AREA. THE SURFACE RIDGE OVER THE
NORTHERN PLAINS WILL SPREAD INTO THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY
WHILE DRY AIR ADVANCE INTO THE FORECAST AREA. THE 850MB TEMPERATURE
WILL BE AROUND -17C. WITH THE LAKE TEMPERATURES AROUND 2C CONSIDER
LAKE EFFECT CONDITIONS TO PERSIST. THE AREAS DOWN WIND FROM A
NORTHWEST WINDS WILL BE THE AREA WITH THE MOST PERSISTENT LES.
WESTERN LAKE SUPERIOR WILL HAVE LIMITED AMOUNT OF LES DUE TO THE
SHORTER FETCH.

THE LOW WILL FINALLY SHIFT INTO SOUTHERN QUEBEC. WEAK SHORTWAVE
ENERGY WILL ROTATE THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA ENROUTE AROUND THE
BASE OF THE THE MID LEVEL LOW. DEEP MOISTURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE
FORECAST AREA. AN 850MB THERMAL POCKET WILL MOVE INTO CENTRAL
ONTARIO JUST NORTHEAST OF LAKE SUPERIOR CAUSING THE DELTA-TS OVER
THE BIG LAKE TO INCREASE TO AROUND 22C. SURFACE WINDS WILL REMAIN
OUT OF THE NORTHWEST PRODUCING LAKE EFFECT SNOW OVER THE AREAS MOST
PRONE TO LAKE EFFECT SNOWS WITH A NORTHWEST FLOW.
