AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
415 PM EST FRI DEC 5 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
UPPER AIR PATTERN CONSISTS OF A 500 MB RIDGE ON THE WEST COAST WITH
TROUGHING ACROSS THE REST OF THE COUNTRY. THERE ARE TWO SHORTWAVES
OF INTEREST THAT WILL AFFECT THE CWA. BOTH ARE COMING SOUTH OUT OF
CANADA. THE FIRST ONE WHICH IS KICKING OFF SOME LIGHT SNOW IS ACROSS
SOUTHERN MANITOBA AND THE SECOND ONE IS ACROSS NORTHERN MANITOBA.
THE SOUTHERN SHORTWAVE WILL AFFECT THE CWA THIS EVENING AND THE
SECOND AFFECTS THE CWA SAT MORNING.

SHORT TERM THROUGH 00Z SUN...
NAM SHOWS SOME 850-500 MB Q-VECTOR CONVERGENCE ALONG WITH SOME
MOISTURE MOVING ACROSS THE CWA TONIGHT WITH THE DEEP MOISTURE AND
DYNAMICS PULLING OUT SAT MORNING. NAM SHOWING ISENTROPIC LIFT ON
I270K-I285K SURFACES AND MOISTURE THIS EVENING MOVING THROUGH BEFORE
THE LIFT AND MOISTURE START MOVING OUT SAT MORNING. GFS SHOWS ABOUT
THE SAME THING AND WILL USE A BLEND OF THE TWO FOR THIS FORECAST.
GOING FORECAST HAD THINGS WELL IN HAND AND DID NOT MAKE TOO MANY
CHANGES. PREVIOUS SHIFTS THINKING THAT A LAKE ENHANCED SN BAND WOULD
DEVELOP OFF LAKE MICHIGAN STILL LOOKS VALID...BUT THE FLOW APPEARS
TO HAVE ENOUGH WESTERLY COMPONENT TO FOCUS THE HEAVIER SNOW INTO
MACKINAC COUNTY SE OF ERY TONIGHT AND SAT MORNING.

THE THING TO CONCENTRATE ON IN THIS FORECAST IS THE NEAR BLIZZARD
CONDITIONS THAT WILL DEVELOP LATE TONIGHT ACROSS THE WEST AND MOVE
TO THE CENTRAL AND EAST ON SATURDAY. WINDS WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH TO
BLOW AND DRIFT THE POWDERY LAKE EFFECT SNOW AROUND TO CREATE
BLIZZARD OR NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS ALONG AND NEAR LAKE SUPERIOR ON
SAT. FOR THIS REASON...PUT UP SOME BLIZZARD AND WINTER STORM
WARNINGS ALONG THE LAKESHORE COUNTIES WHICH WOULD BE VULNERABLE TO
NW AND N LAKE EFFECT SNOWBELTS. WITH PASSAGE OF THE ARCTIC COLD
FRONT...THERE LOOKS TO BE A VERY HEAVY BAND OF SNOW WHICH WILL MOVE
THROUGH IN THE MORNING...THEN LAKE EFFECT BEGINS IN EARNEST. STRONG
WINDS WILL FRAGMENT THE SNOW FLAKES WITH ARRIVAL OF COLDER/DRIER AIR
IN THE AFTN. THE RESULT WILL BE A MORE EFFICIENT REDUCTION IN VSBY.
BLIZZARD WARNINGS WERE ISSUED FOR THE KEWEENAW PENINSULA AND ALGER
AND NORTHERN SCHOOLCRAFT COUNTIES WHICH WOULD BE MOST EXPOSED TO NNW
FLOW FOR THE LONGEST PD OF TIME AND ALSO THE STRONG WINDS. OTHER
PLACES MIGHT HAVE BLIZZARD CONDITIONS...BUT HOISTED ADVISORIES OR
WARNINGS BASED ON SNOWFALL AND LOW VISIBILITIES. MIGHT NOT
NECESSARILY GET SNOWFALL AMOUNTS TO VERIFY A WARNING PER SE...BUT
COMBO OF SNOW AND LOW VISIBILITIES WOULD JUSTIFY PUTTING SOMETHING
OUT AND ADVISORY JUST DOES NOT CUT IT IN THIS SITUATION WITH THE
SNOW SIGNIFICANTLY BLOWING AROUND.

.LONG TERM...

LOOK FOR PURE LES WITH RISING HGTS/DNVA/H85-5 QVECTOR DVGC IN WAKE
OF DEPARTING SHRTWV/SFC LO. THE INTENSITY OF THE LES OVER THE FAR W
SHOULD DIMINISH OVERNGT WITH THE APPROACH OF HI PRES RDG AS
INVERSION HGTS FCST TO LOWER BLO 4KFT BY 12Z SUN AT IWD. STILL
EXPECT HI SN/WATER RATIOS THROUGH THE END OF THE EVENT WITH TEMPS
WITHIN THE INCRSGLY SHALLOW MOIST LYR ARND FAVORABLE DGZ OF -15C.
BLIZZARD CONDITIONS OVER ALGER/NRN SCHOOLRAFT COUNTY SHOULD PERSIST
THROUGH MUCH OF SAT NIGHT WITH H925 WINDS IN THE 30-35KT RANGE. LES
WL DIMINISH OVER THE E HALF SUN AFTERNOON WITH ARRIVAL OF HI PRES
RDG. SUN WL BE ANOTHER VERY COLD DAY UNDER ARRIVING RDG AXIS AND 850
MB THERMAL TROF WITH TEMPS IN THE -17C TO -19C RANGE.

WAA HI CLDS WILL MOVE IN FM THE WEST ON SUNDAY AHEAD OF YET ANOTHER
CLIPPER LOW. MODEL CONSENSUS INDICATES THAT THIS CLIPPER SYSTEM WILL
DIVE THROUGH THE NRN PLAINS AND LOWER MIDWEST SUN NIGHT AND MON. 12Z
UKMET SEEMS TO BE THE OUTLIER SHOWING A MUCH NORTH TRACK WITH SYSTEM
INTO THE UPPER GREAT LAKES BY 12Z MON. KEPT GOING CHC POPS SUN NGT
INTO MON WITH ONSET OF ISENTROPIC LIFT AND LIGHT MODEL QPF IN
ADVANCE OF THIS CLIPPER. BUMPED UP POPS TO LIKELY FOR LATE SUN NIGHT
INTO MON FOR AREAS DOWNWIND OF LK MI IN SRLY FLOW AS MODEL SNDGS
INDICATE MOISTENING/DESTABILATION OFF THE WATER. GOOD LLVL
CONVERGENCE DEPICTED BY GFS SHOWS POTENTIAL FOR INTENSE LAKE
ENHANCED/LAKE EFFECT SNOW BAND AFFECTING DELTA/SCHOOLCRAFT AND
PERHAPS WRN ALGER COUNTIES. MAY NEED TO CONSIDER HEADLINES AT SOME
POINT FOR THIS POTENTIAL EVENT ALTHOUGH FOR NOW WILL CONTINUE
MENTION IN HWO.

TROUGH/COLD FRONT MOVING ACROSS THE AREA MON NIGHT AND SHIFTING OF
WINDS TO NW WILL BRING MORE LES TO AREAS DOWNWIND OF LAKE SUPERIOR
LATE MON NIGHT INTO TUE. REINFORCING SHOT OF COLD AIR WITH YET
ANOTHER CLIPPER SYSTEM FOR TUE NIGHT INTO WED WILL BRING IN 850 MB
TEMPS AROUND -20C AND SUSTAIN LES FOR NW LAKE SUPERIOR SNOWBELTS
THROUGH MUCH OF THE REST OF THE WEEK. LOOK FOR BELOW NORMAL TEMPS
FOR BLO NORMAL TEMPS BY MIDWEEK WITH HIGHS BARELY IN THE TEENS AND
INTERIOR LOWS AOB 0F.

.AVIATION (FOR THE 18Z TAF ISSUANCE)...

AT KCMX...LK EFFECT WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT NORTH AND CONDITIONS
IMPROVE TO VFR FOR A TIME. NEXT LOW PRES SYSTEM DROPPING INTO THE
UPPER LAKES REGION BRINGS MORE SNOW INTO THE REGION BY THIS EVENING.
UPSTREAM OBS SUGGEST IFR VSBY WITH THE SNOW...THEN AS ARCTIC FRONT
NEARS AND WINDS SHIFT TO NW...HEAVY LK EFFECT MAY RETURN YET AGAIN
LATE TONIGHT. CONDITIONS DETERIORATE RAPIDLY TO VLIFR SAT MORNING
WITH BLOWING SNOW/SNOW WITH WIND SHIFT AND STRONG WINDS BEHIND THE
ARCTIC FRONT AND WILL LOOK TO STAY DOWN ALL DAY.

AT KSAW...EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS TO PREVAIL THRU THIS AFTN. MVFR/IFR
CONDITIONS DEVELOP IN THE EVENING AS -SN SPREADS INTO THE AREA IN
ASSOCIATION WITH APPROACHING LOW PRES SYSTEM. SNOW/WINDS DIMINISH
ONLY VERY LATE TONIGHT. CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE FROM MVFR LATE
SAT MORNING TO VLIFR WITH BLOWING SNOW AND STRONG WINDS BEHIND THE
ARCTIC FRONT THAT COME THROUGH SAT MORNING AND WILL LOOK TO STAY LOW
FOR A WHILE.

.MARINE (FOR THE 4 PM LAKE SUPERIOR FORECAST ISSUANCE)...

ON SATURDAY...A STRONG COLD FRONT PLOWING THROUGH WITH DEEPENING SFC
LOW WILL LEAD TO GALES UP TO 40-45 KNOTS FOR THE E 2/3 OF LAKE
SUPERIOR THROUGH SAT NIGHT. WINDS DIMINISH BY SUNDAY AS HIGH
PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES. SRLY WINDS ON MONDAY NOW LOOK
TO STAY BLO GALES WITH A FEW GALE GUSTS POSSIBLE OVER THE EAST HALF
OF LAKE SUPERIOR.
