SHOULD BE UNDERWAY IN NW LOWER MI (MAINLY LEELANAU SOUTHWARD) AS THE
FLOW GOES NW OVER THERE. EASTERN UPPER MI SEES A NORTH/NNE FLOW
ESTABLISHED...SO NO REAL ENHANCEMENT UP THERE ONCE THE ESE FLOW ENDS
THIS MORNING. THERE IS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF CYCLONIC CURVATURE AND
1000-850MB CONVERGENCE TODAY...THOUGH THAT DOES START TO RELAX NORTH
OF THE BRIDGE THIS AFTERNOON.

BEST SNOWFALL TODAY SHOULD IN THE LEELANAU/BENZIE/TVC AREA...WHERE
LAKE ENHANCEMENT AND LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE WILL BE MAXIMIZED FOR THE
LONGEST PERIOD OF TIME. 4 TO 6 INCH ACCUMS EXPECTED THERE...WITH
LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE IF WELL-DEVELOPED BANDING OCCURS
THIS AFTERNOON. 3 TO 5 INCH ACCUMS WILL BE COMMON ACROSS MOST OF THE
REST OF THE FORECAST AREA...EXCEPT FOR THE FAR SE (HTL TO OSCODA AND
SOUTHWARD)...WHERE 1 TO 3 EXPECTED.

THIS MATCHES UP PRETTY WELL WITH ONGOING HEADLINES. MISSAUKEE CO IS
THE ONE THAT MOST CONCERNS ME...COULD SEE A DOMINANT BAND
POTENTIALLY PUNCH INTO THERE...ESPECIALLY BY THIS EVENING. BUT
CURRENT SNOWFALL FORECASTS THERE ARE JUST A BIT SHORT OF CRITERIA
THERE...AND WILL KEEP THEM IN AN ADVISORY.

SURFACE WINDS ARE GENERALLY PRETTY LIGHT THIS MORNING...EXCEPT ALONG
THE IMMEDIATE HURON COASTLINE...WHERE 20-30MPH GUSTS ARE OCCURRING.
WINDS WILL GET GOING ON THE LAKE MI COAST SOUTH OF SLEEPING BEAR AS
SOON AS MIDDAY...BUT WON/T REALLY EXPAND OUT OF THAT AREA UNTIL
DUSK. WILL ADJUST MENTION OF BLOWING SNOW IN THE GRIDS/TEXT PRODUCTS.

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

COLD NW FLOW IN THE WAKE OF THE SURFACE LOW WILL PERSIST INTO EARLY
MONDAY. LARGE ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE THRU THE OHIO VALLEY
MONDAY...WITH CORRESPONDING RIDGING ALOFT OVERHEAD ON MONDAY NIGHT.
THIS WILL GIVE US A RELATIVE QUIET PERIOD. BUT AMPLIFYING TROFFING
OUT WEST WILL OPEN UP THE GULF IN THE WAKE OF THE ARCTIC HIGH...AND
ABUNDANT MOISTURE WILL START SURGING NORTH INTO OUR REGION AS SOON
AS TUESDAY. SNOW/WINDS TONIGHT INTO MONDAY ARE ONE CONCERN. THE
BEGINNING OF THE NEXT EVENT ON TUESDAY IS ANOTHER.

MODELS...VERY GOOD AGREEMENT IN OUR NECK OF THE WOODS THRU MONDAY
NIGHT. DIFFERENCES ARE STARTING TO EMERGE UPSTREAM...ON PRECISELY
HOW PIECES OF ENERGY WILL START TO EJECT FROM THE MEAN TROF IN THE
WEST. WILL NOT GET TOO HUNG UP ON THOSE DIFFERENCES AT THIS
TIME...AS ALL SOLUTIONS STILL SUPPORT PRECIP HERE BY MIDWEEK.

TONIGHT...700-500MB Q-VECTOR CONVERGENCE WILL FINALLY SLIDE OFF TO
THE EAST BY MIDNIGHT. WE WILL SEE A CORRESPONDING DECREASE IN DEEP
MOISTURE. HOWEVER...A WEAK SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE IN OVERNIGHT...WITH A
NARROW BAND OF ENHANCED 850-700MB MOISTURE...700-500 Q-VECTOR
CONVERGENCE AND TOTAL DEFORMATION...BY 12Z. THUS WE WILL HAVE ENOUGH
INSTABILITY (850MB TEMPS -16/-17C) AND FORCING TO SUPPORT LAKE
EFFECT/ENHANCED SNOW SHOWERS. EASTERN UPPER MI IS LARGELY OUT OF
THIS INITIALLY...BUT CYCLONIC CURVATURE FINALLY RELAXES AND BACKS
WINDS NW VERY LATE. THAT WILL PUSH SNOW SHOWERS INTO THE WEST HALF
OF CHIPPEWA COUNTY...THOUGH ONLY WITH 1-2 INCH LOCAL ACCUMS (UNLESS
INTERACTION WITH SOME SORT OF DRAINAGE FLOW BOUNDARY OCCURS...THOUGH
IT LOOKS AWFULLY WINDY FOR THAT).

THE MAIN ACTION SHOULD BE IN NORTHERN LOWER MI. THE PREVAILING WINDS
WILL BE FROM THE NNW...THOUGH BACKING NW VERY LATE. THUS PLACES WEST
OF M-66 WILL GET THE WORST OF IT...PARTICULARLY HIGHER TERRAIN
LOCALES. LOCAL 3-5 INCH ACCUMS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE. EASTERN PRESQUE
ISLE AND NE ALPENA CO COULD SEE LOCALIZED 2 INCH ACCUMS ON THE
SHORTER NNW FETCH OVER THERE. IN BETWEEN...LESS THAN AN INCH
FORECAST.

GUSTS TO 30-40MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG THE COASTLINES
TONIGHT...RELAXING A BIT TOWARD DAWN. A FEW GUSTS TO 30MPH POSSIBLE
INLAND. SO BLOWING/DRIFTING SNOW WILL REMAIN AN ISSUE.

MIN TEMPS WILL RANGE FROM NEAR ZERO IN THE ST MARYS VALLEY...TO THE
MID TEENS ALONG THE NW LOWER MI COAST.

MONDAY...THAT LAST BAND OF FORCING/MOISTURE WILL WORK ITS WAY OUT OF
THE REGION IN THE MORNING. BY AFTERNOON...850-700MB RH LEVELS WILL
DROP OFF TO 30 TO 40 PERCENT. 1000-850MB WINDS WILL BACK WESTERLY
DURING THE AFTERNOON AS HIGH PRESSURE PASSES TO OUR SOUTH. WARM
ADVECTION WILL BOOST 850MB TEMPS TO -11C ON LAKE MI BY 00Z. LAKE
EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE STILL BE FAIRLY WIDESPREAD IN THE
MORNING IN THE USUAL NW FLOW SNOWBELTS...BUT WILL DIMINISH TO SCT IN
THE AFTERNOON. LOCALIZED 1-2 INCH ACCUMS NOT OUT OF THE REALM OF
POSSIBILITY IN THE SNOWBELTS (ESPECIALLY UP AROUND PARADISE)...BUT
MOST PLACES WILL SEE MUCH LESS. OUTSIDE OF SNOWBELTS...SOME PARTIAL
SUNSHINE SHOULD BE SEEN BY AFTERNOON. WILL BE A TOUCH ON THE BRISK
SIDE...ESPECIALLY IN THE MORNING ALONG THE COASTS. MAX TEMPS TEENS
TO AROUND 20F.

MONDAY NIGHT...1000-850MB FLOW REMAINS ANTICYCLONIC AND BACKS SSW
WITH HIGH PRESSURE TO OUR SE. 850MB TEMPS RISE TO -10C ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA. EXPECT LITTLE IF ANY PRECIP TO LINGER INTO THE
EVENING HOURS. STRONGER ISENTROPIC ASCENT WILL DEVELOP EASTWARD INTO
WI OVERNIGHT...AS WARM/MOIST ADVECTION INCREASES. THERE IS A SMALL
CHANCE FOR SOME LAKE ENHANCED SNOW TO GET GOING NEAR LAKE MI BY
DAWN...THOUGH FOR THE MOST PART THIS SHOULD HOLD OFF TIL AFTER
12Z/7AM. WILL KEEP A SMALL CHANCE OF SNOW IN THE FAR WESTERN AREAS.
INCREASING CLOUDS AND SOUTH WINDS WILL KEEP TEMPS FROM FALLING TOO
FAR IN THE WEST. MINS WILL BE IN SINGLE DIGITS CENTRAL AND EAST...TO
MID TEENS WEST.

TUESDAY...SNOW REMAINS LIKELY AS THE WARM CONVEYOR BELT DEVELOPS
EASTWARD INTO MI. MAIN SURFACE WARM FRONT WILL ALIGN ALONG THE
NORTHERN OHIO VALLEY TO THE EASTERN LAKES. HIGHEST QPF WILL BE NORTH
OF THAT BOUNDARY...BUT PROBABLY SOUTH OF US. FOR NOW...A GENERAL 2
TO 4 INCH SNOWFALL LOOKS MOST LIKELY...BUT THAT COULD DEFINITELY
CHANGE. MAX TEMPS MAINLY AROUND 20 TO THE LOWER 20S.

LATER PERIODS...GENERAL CONSENSUS IS THAT SOME SORT OF LOW WILL
DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONTAL ZONE TO OUR WEST...AND LIFT UP INTO THE
LAKES REGION WEDNESDAY. EXACTLY WHERE AND HOW STRONG IS MUCH TOO
EARLY TO TELL...WITH THE ECMWF STILL OFFERING A QUIET VIGOROUS
SOLUTION (AND MAYBE WORKING MIXED PRECIP INTO THE SE ZONES)...WITH
THE GFS AND ESPECIALLY THE NAM MUCH WEAKER. SO THE XMAS EVE FORECAST
STILL LOOKS LESS THAN GREAT...BUT HOW POOR IS STILL UP IN THE AIR. I
WOULD LEAN TOWARD THE ECMWF AT THIS TIME...WHICH WOULD MAKE FOR AN
INTERESTING DAY.

WEAK LAKE EFFECT COULD LINGER INTO EARLY XMAS MORNING...BUT AFTER
THAT PACIFIC AIR FINALLY FLOODS INTO THE REGION. MUCH MILDER WX IS
STORE BY FRIDAY...AND OUR NEXT PRECIP EVENT FRIDAY AND BEYOND WILL
BE A WINTRY MIX OR JUST OUTRIGHT RAIN.

EXPECT CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE TO SOLID IFR OVERNIGHT AND
PERSIST THRU THROUGH SUNDAY. HEAVIEST SNOWFALL THROUGH MIDDAY SUNDAY
WILL BE FOUND AT APN WHERE LAKE ENHANCEMENT IS MAXIMIZED UNDER E/SE
