AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
407 AM EST SUN NOV 30 2008

.SYNOPSIS.../ISSUED AT 405 AM/

A STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE NORTHEAST INTO SOUTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN
TONIGHT...AND THEN INTO QUEBEC BY LATE MONDAY. SEVERAL INCHES OF
SNOW...ALONG WITH BLOWING SNOW...ARE EXPECTED ACROSS LOWER MICHIGAN
TONIGHT AND MONDAY. LIGHT LAKE EFFECT SNOWS ARE THEN EXPECTED MONDAY
NIGHT INTO TUESDAY...BEFORE A BRIEF QUIET PERIOD ARRIVES FOR LATE
TUESDAY. THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM IS EXPECTED LATE TUESDAY NIGHT INTO
WEDNESDAY...WHICH MAY BRING MORE ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL...AND
POSSIBLY A TOUCH OF RAIN. THE ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN DOES NOT LET
UP...AS WE MAY BE FACING A PERIOD OF RATHER SIGNIFICANT LAKE
EFFECT SNOW FOR THE LATTER PART OF THE WORK WEEK.

&&

.SHORT TERM.../ISSUED AT 405 AM/...TODAY

RELATIVELY QUIET WEATHER EXPECTED IN THE SHORT TERM TODAY...AS
AFOREMENTIONED STORM SYSTEM DEVELOPS TO OUR S/SW. IN ADVANCE OF
STORM...UPPER CLOUDS WILL THICKEN...LOWER...AND OVERSPREAD
REGION. TOGETHER WITH LOW CLOUDS FORECAST TO DRIFT IN FROM THE
NORTH...THIS WILL RESULT IN MAINLY CLOUDY SKIES TODAY.

SNOW WILL REACH FAR SRN AREAS LATE THIS AFTERNOON...JUST A BIT
SLOWER THAN EARLIER THOUGHT. MODELS SUPPORT THIS TREND...AS DOES
20-30C 850 MB DEW POINT DEPRESSIONS LAST EVENING ACROSS PARTS OF THE
OHIO VALLEY. NEVERTHELESS...EXPECT SNOW TO COMMENCE IN THE
CAD/HTL/TAWAS CORRIDOR BETWEEN 21-00 UTC. WARM LAKE HURON TEMPS
AND AN ASSOCIATED SURFACE BASED MELTING LAYER AROUND 1.2 KFT MAY
ALSO SUPPORT SOME RAIN AS THE PRECIP BEGINS ALONG THE LAKE HURON
SHORELINE S OF TAWAS.

SMITH

&&

.LONG TERM.../ISSUED AT 405 AM/...TONIGHT AND BEYOND

TONIGHT AND MONDAY...MODELS ARE IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT THAT LOW WILL
MOVE NORTHEAST TO NEAR DTW BY 06Z TONIGHT...AS BROAD PRECIP SHIELD
OVERSPREADS REGION. MODEL RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY HAS BEEN QUITE
GOOD...WITH JUST A SLIGHT WESTWARD PUSH OF THE HEAVIEST PRECIP
NOTED (IN ADDITION TO PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED SLOWER TREND). GFS
REMAINS MORE BULLISH THAN NAM WITH OVERALL QPF -- AND GENERALLY
ACCEPTED. EXPECT SNOW TO ADVANCE FROM S TO N ACROSS REGION THIS
EVENING...REACHING TVC/GLR/APN 03-05Z...AND THE STRAITS AROUND
06Z. MID LEVEL WAVE WILL DEEPEN AND CLOSE OFF ACROSS THE LOWER
GREAT LAKES...WITH DEEP EASTERLY FLOW AND ISENTROPIC ASCENT ACROSS
LOWER MI. JET KINEMATICS NOT IDEAL. HOWEVER...STRONG QG SUPPORT
FOR ASCENT AHEAD OF WAVE -- ALONG WITH A PERIOD OF VERY
RESPECTABLE UPPER DIVERGENCE -- IS STILL ANTICIPATED.

LAKE ENHANCEMENT IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE A MAJOR PLAYER ON FRONT END
OF SYSTEM -- THOUGH IT MAY STILL GIVE A SLIGHT LITTLE BOOST TO
SNOWFALL ACROSS NE LOWER (WITH LAKE TEMPS NEAR +6C AND 8H TEMPS
AROUND -5C). THIS...ESPECIALLY COUPLED WITH IMPACT OF
TERRAIN...AND EXPECTED STORM TRACK...SUPPORTS HEAVIEST SNOW
ACROSS NE LOWER -- GENERALLY ALONG AND E OF A LINE FROM ROGERS
CITY TO GAYLORD TO CADILLAC. FROM 6 TO 9 INCHES OF SNOW CAN BE
EXPECTED IN THIS AREA BY LATE MONDAY...WITH UP TO 6 INCHES IN
AREAS FARTHER W. AT THIS TIME...IT APPEARS THAT ERN UPPER WILL BE
LARGELY SPARED...WITH UP TO 4-5 INCHES OVER MAINLY ERN PARTS OF
CHIPPEWA/MACKINAC COUNTY BY LATE MONDAY.
