1137 PM EST MON JAN 28 2008

.AVIATION...LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR ANTICIPATED OVERNIGHT AT
PLN/TVC/APN. AREA OF LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN SHOWERS WILL MOVE
THROUGH NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN...ENDING W-E BETWEEN 06Z AND 09Z
CIGS WILL BOUNCE AROUND BETWEEN MVFR AND VFR THROUGH THE TIME...BUT
EXPECTED TO LOWER TO PREDOMINATE MVFR LATER OVERNIGHT. ON TUESDAY...
LIGHT RAIN AND DRIZZLE CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO PREVAIL WHILE IFR CIGS
AND REDUCED VSBYS DEVELOP DUE TO ONGOING SNOW MELT.

ADAM

.UPDATE...ISSUED AT 1045 PM.

FIRST ROUND OF WARM ADVECTION DRIVEN PRECIP EXITING  THE EASTERN
THIRD OF THE CWA ATTM. AND DESPITE A VERY DRY ATMOSPHERE/ MIXED
PRECIP CONCERNS TO START...ALL OBSERVATIONS REPORTING RAIN EVEN IN
EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN. A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THE MAGNITUDE OF WARM
ADVECTION OVERWHELMING THE DEGREE OF EVAPORATIVE AND DYNAMIC
COOLING. SFC DEWPOINTS AT MOST OBS SITES NOW AROUND OR ABOVE 32F. SO
LOOKS LIKE ANY FREEZING RAIN THREAT HAS BEEN AVERTED. MEANWHILE
UPSTREAM...SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWING STRONG MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE
PUNCHING INTO SW WISCONSIN WITH PRONOUNCED MID LEVEL DRYING BEHIND.
SECOND AREA OF ASSOCIATED COOLING CLOUD TOPS AND EXPANDING PRECIP
PUSHING OUT OF EASTERN WISCONSIN AND ACROSS THE LAKE.

FOR THE REST OF TONIGHT...MAIN FORECAST ISSUES REVOLVE AROUND
CONTINUING PRECIP CHANCES/P-TYPE...AND FOG POSSIBILITIES. SATELLITE/
RADAR EXTRAPOLATION SUGGESTS UPSTREAM SHORT WAVE AND SECOND ROUND OF
LIGHT PRECIP WILL TRAVERSE SW-NE THROUGH THE CWA BETWEEN NOW AND
ROUGHLY 09Z...PERHAPS HANGING ON THROUGH 12Z IN EASTERN UPPER.
UPSTREAM DRY SLOT FOLLOWS SUITE AND 00Z NAM FORECAST SOUNDINGS THEN
SUGGEST SOME DRIZZLE POSSIBILITIES AS SATURATED LOWER LAYERS DROP
WELL BELOW THE -10C LEVEL. WILL CRAFT UPDATED GRIDS/ZONE FORECASTS
ACCORDINGLY. AS FAR AS P-TYPE IS CONCERNED...MOST OBS SITES ACROSS
NRN LOWER MICHIGAN REPORTING DEWPOINTS >32F...AND 00Z NAM FORECAST
SOUNDINGS STILL SUGGEST ALL LIQUID. ONLY EXCEPTION REMAINS IN
EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN WHERE MUCH OF THE SOUNDING TEMP PROFILE COOLS
BELOW FREEZING OVERNIGHT AND SUGGESTS A RAIN/SNOW MIX POTENTIAL.

FOG ISSUES...DESPITE THE RAIN AND MELTING SNOWPACK...STRONG WINDS
AND POCKETS OF LINGERING LOW LEVEL DRIER AIR (AS EVIDENCED BY CLR
SKY REPORTS IN SFC OBS) HAVE KEPT FOG IN CHECK. AND BELIEVE THIS
WILL REMAIN THE CASE THROUGH THE NIGHT. FOG POTENTIAL ACTUALLY LOOKS
BETTER ON MONDAY AS WINDS DIMINISH/HIGHER DEWPOINT AIR CONTINUES TO
ADVECT INTO THE REGION AND MELTING PROCEEDS. WITH THIS IN MIND HAVE
ADDED AREAS OF FOG TO THE GOING TUESDAY FORECAST.

ADAM

&&

.DISCUSSION...ISSUED AT 345 PM.

SHORT TERM (TONIGHT)...986MB SURFACE LOW OVER ND LATE THIS AFTERNOON
WILL CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN AS IT SLIDES TO A POSITION OFF THE NORTH
SHORE OF LAKE SUPERIOR TUESDAY MORNING.  WARM ADVECTION WITHIN BROAD
SOUTHWEST LOW/MID LEVEL FLOW SPREADING CLOUDS AND SOME LIGHT
PRECIPITATION ACROSS IL/IN/WI...THOUGH STILL NOT MUCH REACHING THE
GROUND ACROSS WI AS PRECIPITATION STRUGGLES THROUGH DRY AIR MASS IN
PLACE OVER THE WESTERN LAKES.  A SECOND AREA OF PRECIPITATION
STRETCHED FROM NE/EASTERN SD/WESTERN MN AHEAD OF A SHORT WAVE TROUGH
COMING OUT OF CO AND FOCUSED ALONG AN AXIS OF MID LEVEL
FRONTOGENESIS.  ALTHOUGH F-GEN FORCING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE IT WILL
IMPACT NORTHERN MI TONIGHT...COMBINATION OF PERSISTENT WARM
ADVECTION AND AN ADDED BOOST FROM AFOREMENTIONED SHORT WAVE WHICH IS
EXPECTED TO CROSS THE FORECAST AREA OVERNIGHT SHOULD RESULT IN AN
INCREASE IN PRECIPITATION COVERAGE DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND
THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS.  NEXT ISSUE IS PRECIPITATION TYPE...
TEMPERATURES HAVE WARMED QUITE NICELY ACROSS THE REGION THIS
AFTERNOON...MID/UPPER 30S ACROSS EASTERN UPPER/NORTHEAST AND NORTH
CENTRAL LOWER...WITH MID/UPPER 40S ALONG THE LAKE MICHIGAN SHORELINE
AIDED BY DOWNSLOPE WIND COMPONENT.  MODEL VERTICAL TEMPERATURE
PROFILES ARE QUITE DIFFERENT TONIGHT...WITH THE GFS BEING COLDER
THAN THE NAM.  EARLY AFTERNOON AIRCRAFT SOUNDINGS OUT OF PLN/CIU ARE
SIMILAR TO GUIDANCE 6H FORECASTS...BUT SUGGEST THAT SOMETHING IN
BETWEEN IS PROBABLY MORE REFLECTIVE OF REALITY.  THE MAIN CONCERN
WILL BE ACROSS EASTERN UPPER WHERE COLUMN ALOFT SHOULD BE COLD
ENOUGH FOR ALL SNOW...SO PRECIP TYPE WILL BE FOCUSED ON DEPTH OF
SURFACE BASED WARM LAYER.  BOTH NAM/GFS SUGGESTING THAT SURFACE
BASED WARM LAYER WILL BE MINIMAL/NON-EXISTENT AND THAT PRECIP WILL
BE ALL SNOW.  PROBLEM IS THAT SURFACE TEMPERATURES IN BOTH MODELS
ARE RUNNING WELL SHORT OF CURRENT OBSERVATIONS (A GOOD 4-8
DEGREES)...WITH MID/UPPER 40S TEMPERATURES FLOODING UP THROUGH THE
STRAITS AND INTO AT LEAST MACKINAC COUNTY (ERY UP TO 43F AT
20Z...MCD AT 45F). LOSS OF DIURNAL HEATING AND WET BULB COOLING WILL
HAVE SOME IMPACT...BUT CURRENT THINKING IS THAT BEST CHANCE FOR SNOW
OR MIXED RAIN/SNOW WILL BE ACROSS NORTHERN AND PERHAPS FAR EASTERN
PORTIONS OF CHIPPEWA COUNTY.  GIVEN SURGE IN SURFACE TEMPERATURES
THIS AFTERNOON APPEARS FREEZING RAIN THREAT ACROSS NORTHEAST LOWER
WILL BE MINIMAL...ONLY REAL CONCERN IS HIGHER TERRAIN ACROSS
INTERIOR NORTHERN LOWER.  EXPECT PRECIPITATION TO TAPER OFF TO
DRIZZLE LATE AS MID LEVEL MOISTURE GETS STRIPPED OUT IN WAKE OF
SHORT WAVE TROUGH.

ONSET OF PRECIPITATION MAY ALSO BRING A PERIOD OF STRONG WINDS DUE
TO THE DRY LOW LEVELS.  GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 40 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE
THIS EVENING.

JPB

REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST (TUESDAY THROUGH NEXT MONDAY)...A VERY BUSY
STRETCH OF WEATHER IS EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. THE
MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS WILL REVOLVE AROUND THE DETAILS OF A
VIGOROUS WEATHER SYSTEM MOVING ACROSS THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY INCLUDING WHETHER OR NOT HEADLINES WILL BE NECESSARY.
THEREAFTER...POPS WILL BE THE MAIN ISSUE AS THE PATTERN REMAINS
RATHER ACTIVE.

TUESDAY...RELATIVE LULL IN THE ACTION AS THE FIRST AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE CONTINUES TO TRACK ACROSS ONTARIO. DO NOT BE FOOLED THOUGH
AS AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL BE LURKING ACROSS THE MID MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY. MODEL SOUNDINGS/CROSS SECTIONS SHOW MOISTURE SHALLOWING
OUT...MAINLY CONFINED TO BELOW 800 MB. THEREFORE...WILL CONTINUE
WITH ONLY A CHANCE OF LIGHT RAIN AND DRIZZLE FOR MUCH OF THE DAY.
HIGHS OF WELL INTO THE 30S TO AROUND 40 EXPECTED WITH SOUTH
SOUTHWEST WINDS OF BETWEEN 10 AND 20 MPH.

LATE TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT...STRONG FORCING ALONG WITH ABUNDANT
MOISTURE OUT AHEAD OF THE VIGOROUS COLD FRONT WILL QUICKLY
OVERSPREAD THE REGION FROM THE WEST LEADING TO RAINFALL ACROSS THE
ENTIRE FORECAST AREA LATE IN THE AFTERNOON. THE ARCTIC COLD FRONT
THEN PLOWS ACROSS THE REGION IN THE EVENING WITH VERY STRONG COLD
AIR ADVECTION BEHIND IT (850 MB TEMPERATURES PLUMMET FROM AROUND
PLUS 4 C AT 00Z TUE TO BETWEEN -20 AND -25 C AT 12Z) LEADING TO
FALLING TEMPERATURES LIKELY LEADING TO A RAPID FREEZE UP OF AREA
ROADWAYS. MEANWHILE...A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE MOVES UP ALONG THE
FRONT WHILE RAPIDLY INTENSIFYING TO BETWEEN 975 AND 980 MB. 925 MB
WINDS OF 35 TO 40 KNOTS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO HAVE TOO MUCH OF A
PROBLEM MIXING DOWN WHICH WOULD LEAD TO THE POTENTIAL FOR BLIZZARD
LIKE CONDITIONS DEVELOPING AT TIMES TUESDAY EVENING AND TUESDAY
NIGHT (AND GALES ACROSS NEARSHORE ZONES). THEREFORE...WILL ISSUE A
WINTER STORM WATCH FROM TUE EVENING THROUGH WED ACROSS ALL ZONES
EXCEPT GLADWIN AND ARENAC COUNTIES FOR THE COMBINATION OF STRONG
WINDS...LOW VISIBILITIES AND LOW WIND CHILLS. ACCUMULATIONS WED
NIGHT ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM AN INCH OR TWO SOUTHEAST TO FOUR OR
FIVE INCHES ACROSS EASTERN UPPER WHERE THE BEST WRAP AROUND MOISTURE
IS SHOWN. TEMPERATURES WILL PLUNGE OVERNIGHT ENDING UP BETWEEN 10
AND 15 DEGREES BY WED MORNING.

WEDNESDAY...850 MB TEMPERATURES BOTTOM OUT BETWEEN -23 AND -28 C.
THE MEAN SURFACE-850 MB FLOW SETTLES IN OUT OF THE WEST LEADING TO
LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS. MEAN 900-700 MB RH FALLS FROM BETWEEN 70
AND 80 PERCENT IN THE MORNING TO BETWEEN 30 AND 50 PERCENT IN THE
AFTERNOON. MEAN 1000-850 MB WINDS REMAIN ABOUT 30 KNOTS THROUGH THE
DAY SO LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO BE PUSHED ALL THE
WAY TO THE LAKE HURON SHORELINE. ACCUMULATIONS DO NOT LOOK OVERLY
IMPRESSIVE AS COLD THERMAL REGIME WOULD SUPPORT SMALL SNOWFLAKE
PRODUCTION SO A COUPLE OF INCHES EXPECTED IN WESTERLY FLOW FAVORED
AREAS AND AN INCH OR LESS ELSEWHERE. HOWEVER...EXTENSIVE BLOWING AND
DRIFTING SNOW IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE LEADING TO POTENTIAL FOR
HAZARDOUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN NEARLY STEADY
IN THE TEENS OR FALL INTO THE UPPER SINGLE DIGITS AS COLD AIR
ADVECTION CONTINUES. WIND CHILLS VALUES COULD BE AS LOW AS 10 TO 15
DEGREES BELOW ZERO.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY...LAKE EFFECT IS EXPECTED TO LINGER AS
850 MB TEMPERATURES BEGIN TO STEADILY RISE BACK INTO THE -10 TO -15
C RANGE. THE FLOW IS SHOWN TO BACK FROM THE WEST INTO THE SOUTHWEST
BY THURSDAY. LOWS WED NIGHT WITHIN A FEW DEGREES EITHER SIDE OF
ZERO. HIGHS ON THURSDAY RANGING FROM THE UPPER TEENS TO THE MIDDLE
20S.

FRIDAY THROUGH NEXT MONDAY...ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN CONTINUES WITH
AN ENERGETIC SOUTHERN JET STREAM SENDING ENERGY NORTHWARD TOWARD
THE GREAT LAKES. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR MAJOR STORM SYSTEM TO
AFFECT THE REGION ON FRIDAY AND AGAIN SOMETIME EARLY NEXT WEEK. IN
BETWEEN...AN ALBERTA CLIPPER WILL BRING A CHANCE OF LIGHT SNOW LATE
SATURDAY INTO SATURDAY NIGHT. NO ARCTIC AIR IS IN SIGHT WITH
SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES EXPECTED WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 20S TO
LOWER 30S AND LOWS IN THE TEENS.
