AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

405 AM EST THU JAN 17 2008

.DISCUSSION...EARLY MORNING OBSERVATIONAL AND NUMERICAL MODEL
GUIDANCE ANALYSIS SHOWS RELATIVELY MILD SOUTHWEST FLOW DOMINATING
THE NORTHERN LAKES OUT AHEAD OF A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT BISECTING
CENTRAL UPPER MICHIGAN SOUTH INTO EASTERN OKLAHOMA. FORCING ALONG NORTHERN
SECTION OF THE FRONT RATHER LIMITED...WITH REGIONAL RADAR PLOTS
SHOWING SCATTERED AREAS OF MAINLY LIGHT SNOW OVER WISCONSIN...WITH
THE LEADING EDGE OF THIS AREA MOVING INTO NORTHERN LAKE MICHIGAN AND
CENTRAL AND EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN. HOWEVER...MAIN FEATURE OF
INTEREST BECOMING INCREASINGLY EVIDENT ON SATELLITE IMAGERY OVER THE
MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AS VORT MAX ROUNDS BASE OF ELONGATED CENTRAL
PLAINS TROUGH AXIS...FORCING A NEGATIVE TILT TO THE MID LEVEL
SHORTWAVE AND SPAWNING SURFACE LOW PRESSURE OVER MISSOURI. RADAR
IMAGERY ALSO BEARS THIS OUT WITH RAPIDLY EXPANDING COMMA HEAD SNOW
SHIELD MOVING NORTHEAST INTO NORTHWEST MISSOURI AND IOWA. CURRENT MID
LEVEL CONFIGURATION CLEARLY SUPPORTS 00Z MODEL GUIDANCE OF SYSTEM
BECOMING INCREASINGLY NEGATIVELY TILTED AS IT PIVOTS NORTH-NORTHEAST...
WITH STEADILY DEEPENING SURFACE LOW MOVING TO NORTHERN LAKE MICHIGAN
BY THURSDAY EVENING AND NORTH OF THE SOO BY EARLY FRIDAY MORNING.
SNOW AMOUNTS AND POTENTIAL WINTER WEATHER HEADLINES TAKE CENTER
STAGE THIS MORNING...WITH SECONDARY EMPHASIS ON WELL ADVERTISED
NORTHERN MICHIGAN ARCTIC OUTBREAK THIS UPCOMING WEEKEND AND
RESULTING LAKE EFFECT SNOW CHANCES.

TODAY AND TONIGHT...LIGHT SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO OVERSPREAD EASTERN
UPPER MICHIGAN THIS MORNING JUST AHEAD OF STALLING COLD FRONT IN
NARROW CORRIDOR OF LINGERING LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE...LOW AND MID
LEVEL MOISTURE FLUX...AND ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE. TOUGHER CALL SOUTH OF
THE BRIDGE...WITH NATIONAL MOSAIC RADAR IMAGERY SUGGESTING EXPANSIVE
TENNESSEE VALLEY PRECIPITATION SHIELD...ASSOCIATED WITH SOUTHERN
STREAM WAVE TRAVERSING THE GULF...WILL PASS OFF TO OUR SOUTHEAST AS
IT PIVOTS UP THE EAST COAST...WHILE BETTER MOISTURE CHANNEL TO OUR
WEST REMAINS TIED ALONG FRONTAL ZONE...WHICH ESSENTIALLY STALLS OVER
EASTERN WISCONSIN. IN ADDITION...LAST NIGHTS LOCAL 00Z SOUNDING
SHOWED MODEST 7KFT DRY WEDGE THROUGH THE LOW AND MID LEVELS...
SUGGESTING INITIAL PRECIPITATION WILL STRUGGLE TO REACH THE SURFACE.
THUS...HAVE CONTINUED TREND OF LOWERING POPS...WITH THE ANTICIPATION
OF SOUTHEAST AREAS REMAINING DRY. THINGS RAMP UP THIS AFTERNOON AS
MISSOURI LOW PIVOTS NORTHEAST AND UNDERGOES FAIRLY RAPIDLY DEEPENING
AS IT MOVES INTO NORTHERN LAKE MICHIGAN BY EVENING. MID LEVEL SYSTEM
ALSO DEEPENS RAPIDLY AS IT CLOSES OFF OVER CENTRAL WISCONSIN. STRONG
VERTICAL ASCENT ASSOCIATED WITH POCKET OF STRONG MID LEVEL -DIVQ AND
SOME SEMBLANCE OF UPPER LEVEL JET COUPLING MAKE A RUN AT THE AREA
LATER THIS AFTERNOON. HAVE GONE CATEGORICAL TO HIGH LIKELY ALL
AREAS...WITH MAIN EMPHASIS CENTERED ON EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN WHERE
DYNAMICS ARE BEST JUXTAPOSED WITH PREEXISTING MOISTURE CHANNEL.
EXPECT WIDESPREAD SNOW TO CONTINUE THROUGH THIS EVENING AS CENTER OF
SYSTEM PIVOTS INTO EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN. AS FOR AMOUNTS THROUGH
THIS EVENING...THINKING EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN WILL FALL SHORT OF
WARNING CRITERIA...AVERAGING 4 TO 7 INCHES...AS PATTERN RECOGNITION
OF PROJECTED PATH AND MODEL CROSS SECTIONS CONFIRM BETTER FGEN AND
DEFORMATION RESPONSE WILL CUT ACROSS CENTRAL UPPER MICHIGAN INTO
LAKE SUPERIOR. FARTHER SOUTH...LOOKING FOR AMOUNTS SIGNIFICANTLY
LESS...ON THE ORDER OF 1 TO 3 INCHES...AS SNOW WILL BE MORE
TRANSIENT IN NATURE AND WITH PASSAGE OF BETTER DYNAMICS TO THE
NORTH. WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW LAKE EFFECT TAKES CENTER STAGE AFTER
MIDNIGHT AS COLD AIR WRAPS IN BEHIND THE STORM. HOWEVER...THINKING
ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATIONS WILL REMAIN AT AN INCH OR LESS WITH THE
ANTICIPATION BANDS WILL TAKE A WHILE TO ORGANIZE GIVEN RAPIDLY
VEERING WIND FIELD. STRENGTHENING PRESSURE GRADIENT INSURES A RATHER
WINDY NIGHT...WITH WIND GUSTS PUSHING 35 MPH...ESPECIALLY OVER
NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN. AS FOR HEADLINES...WENT WITH A SNOW
ADVISORY TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT OVER EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN. OVER
NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN...NO HEADLINES JUSTIFIED GIVEN LESSER SNOW
AMOUNTS AND MAJORITY OF WIND KICKING IN AFTER MOST OF THE SNOW HAS
FALLEN.

FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT...LAKE EFFECT SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH FRIDAY
WITH LINGERING SYNOPTIC MOISTURE AND DELTA T/S PUSHING THE UPPER
TEENS. HOWEVER...THINKING SNOW AMOUNTS WILL BE GREATLY HAMPERED BY
CHANGING WIND FIELD THROUGH THE DAY...WHICH RUNS THE GAMUT FROM WEST
IN THE MORNING...TO SOUTHWEST DURING THE AFTERNOON...BACK TO
WEST-NORTHWEST BY EVENING WITH PASSAGE OF LOW AMPLITUDE SHORTWAVE.
SCATTERED SNOW SHOWER THREAT WILL CONTINUE AWAY FROM FAVORED LAKE
AREAS AS SURFACE TROUGH AXIS PUSHES THROUGH THE REGION. THINGS COULD
GET MORE INTERESTING IN FAVORED NORTHWEST FLOW AREAS LATER FRIDAY
NIGHT WITH APPROACH OF NEXT STRONGER SHORTWAVE AND ASSOCIATED MID
LEVEL MOISTURE SLUG. MODEL DERIVED SOUNDINGS SHOW INVERSION LEVELS
AROUND 7KFT WITH DELTA T/S PUSHING THE MID TO UPPER 20S. HOWEVER...
ONE POTENTIAL CAVEAT TO SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS REMAINS A
DENDRITIC GROWTH LAYER JUST OF THE DECK AS 850MB TEMPERATURES DROP
INTO THE NEGATIVE LOW TO MID 20S CELSIUS. BULLSEYE OF OMEGA CENTERED
AT AROUND -20C ALSO WORRISOME...SUGGESTING VERY SMALL FLAKE SIZE THAT MAY
GREATLY REDUCE VISIBILITY BUT STRUGGLES TO ACCUMULATE. AFTER HIGHS
IN THE 20S FRIDAY...THE INITIAL PUSH OF ARCTIC AIR FRIDAY NIGHT
DROPS TEMPERATURES INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS.

SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY...ARCTIC CHILL CONTINUES...WITH HIGHS IN THE
UPPER SINGLE DIGITS TO LOWER TEENS THIS WEEKEND WARMING TO THE MID
TO UPPER TEENS BY MONDAY. LOOK FOR LOWS A FEW DEGREES BELOW ZERO
AWAY FROM THE IMMEDIATE LAKE SHORES BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT.
THE COLD WITH ONLY BE FURTHER EXACERBATED BY STEADY NORTHWEST
WINDS...DROPPING WIND CHILL READINGS INTO THE TEENS BELOW ZERO. LAKE
EFFECT SNOWS WILL TRAVERSE THE NORTHERN MICHIGAN LANDSCAPE THROUGH
THE PERIOD. INHERITED GRIDS HAVE THIS WELL COVERED...WITH NO CHANGES
JUSTIFIED.
