AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
1145 PM EST WED JAN 2 2008

.SYNOPSIS...

WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND RUC ANALYSIS SHOW AN AMPLIFIED PATTERN OVER
NAMERICA WITH A RIDGE OVER THE ROCKIES AND A TROF OVER THE ERN THIRD
OF THE CONUS. PATTERN IS BECOMING PROGRESSIVE WITH SIGNIFICANT
HEIGHT RISES NOTED OVER THE NRN PLAINS INTO SCNTRL CANADA (12Z RAOBS
SHOWED 12HR 500MB HEIGHT RISES UPWARDS OF 180M). WITH THE RIDGE
SLIDING EWD...PACIFIC AIR/DEVELOPING STRONG WAA PATTERN HAS PRODUCED
A HUGE AREA OF HIGH CLOUDS ACROSS CNTRL CANADA INTO THE NRN PLAINS.
AT THE SFC...HIGH PRES RIDGE EXTENDS FROM TX TO MN. LES OFF LAKE
SUPERIOR HAS BEEN WINDING DOWN THIS AFTN...MOST NOTABLY OVER THE W
WHERE LATEST VIS IMAGERY SHOWS LITTLE ORGANIZED LES REMAINING.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT AND THU)...

MAIN FCST ISSUE IS ENDING LES TONIGHT/MIN TEMPS TONIGHT AND WINDS
THU.

WITH SFC RIDGE REACHING WRN LAKE SUPERIOR EARLY THIS EVENING AND
THEN SLIDING E OF THE LAKE AROUND 09Z...LES WILL END FROM W TO E
TONIGHT AS WINDS BACK TO THE SW OR S. OPTED TO CANCEL ONGOING ADVYS
OVER THE ERN COUNTIES WITH THIS FCST ISSUANCE AS LES IS CURRENTLY
NOT ORGANIZED INTO SIGNIFICANT BANDS. THERE WILL PROBABLY BE SOME
BURSTS OF SNOW WITH VIS DOWN TO 1/2SM EARLY THIS EVENING...BUT THOSE
OCCURRENCES WILL BE VERY SHORT LIVED. MAY SEE ACCUMULATIONS AROUND 1
INCH THRU 00Z WITH ANOTHER 1 INCH TONIGHT BEFORE SNOW ENDS. TEMPS
TONIGHT WILL BE A TRICKY. WITH SFC RIDGE PASSING DURING THE NIGHT
AND STRATOCU SCATTERING OUT WITH THE RIDGE PASSAGE...THERE WILL BE
AN OPPORTUNITY FOR TEMPS TO PLUMMET. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF
COMPLICATING FACTORS. FIRST...CI AND HIGH BASED AS/AC CLOUDS ARE
RAPIDLY SPREADING ESE INTO MN/NRN ONTARIO...AND SECOND...RETURN FLOW
ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE HIGH RAPIDLY INCREASES...AIDED BY SIGNIFICANT
PRES FALLS. LATEST ANALYSIS SHOWS 3HR PRES FALLS REACHING AN
IMPRESSIVE 10MB ACROSS ERN SASKATCHEWAN/MANITOBA. ALTHOUGH THESE
NEGATIVES FOR A STRONG SFC TEMP FALL (CLOUDS/INCREASING WINDS) WILL
QUICKLY ARRIVE AFTER RIDGE PASSAGE...THERE SHOULD STILL BE A SHORT
WINDOW OF 2 TO PERHAPS 4HRS OF GOOD TO EXCELLENT RADIATIONAL COOLING
IN MOST AREAS...ESPECIALLY WHERE NEW SNOW HAS ACCUMULATED. HAVE THUS
GONE BLO LOWEST MOS GUIDANCE...GENERALLY AROUND -5F IN MUCH OF THE
INTERIOR (AS LOW AS -10F AT CHAMPION).

WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN FEATURE THU UNDER TIGHT PRES GRADIENT BTWN
DEPARTING STRONG SFC HIGH PRES RIDGE AND LOW PRES TRACKING TO HUDSON
BAY. ALTHOUGH THIS WILL BE A WAA PATTERN OVER A SHALLOW EXITING
ARCTIC AIRMASS...SITUATION IS STILL FAVORABLE FOR WINDY CONDITIONS.
FORTUNATELY...THERE WILL BE SOME STABILITY AS GFS/NAM SHOW 60KT AT
3KFT. BIGGEST FACTOR SUPPORTING/ENHANCING SW WINDS WILL BE THE
STRONG SFC PRES FALLS (8-10MB/3HR) SPREADING E ACROSS ONTARIO THU.
EXPECT TO SEE WIND GUSTS UPWARDS OF 35-40MPH ACROSS MUCH OF THE N
AND E LATE THU MORNING THRU AT LEAST MID AFTN. WITH UNCERTAINTY ON
HOW STABILITY WILL AFFECT THE INCREASE IN WINDS...KEPT WINDS BLO
ADVY CRITERIA FOR THIS FCST ISSUANCE. THE STRONG WAA PATTERN WILL
ALSO LEAD TO CONSIDERABLE MID/HIGH CLOUDS THU AS IS OCCURRING
UPSTREAM THIS AFTN. LOWER LEVELS APPEAR PLENTY DRY ENOUGH THOUGH TO
PRECLUDE ANY MENTION OF PCPN. KEPT MAX TEMPS A BIT BLO ALL MOS
GUIDANCE GIVEN CLOUDS AND CONSIDERABLE SNOW COVER UPSTREAM WHICH
WILL TEMPER WARMING AT THE SFC.

&&

.LONG TERM (THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY)...

THU NIGHT THROUGH FRI NIGHT...WINDS DECOUPLE AS 925MB WINDS REMAIN
FROM THE WSW AND 850MB WINDS BECOME WNW...ESPECIALLY OVER THE WEST
HALF OF THE LAKE. BY 06Z FRI...WINDS COUPLE UP OUT OF THE WEST BUT
REMAIN RELATIVELY LIGHT THROUGH SUN. KEPT WX GRIDS DRY THROUGH FRI
NIGHT AS LITTLE MOISTURE AND EVEN LESS FORCING WILL BE PRESENT OVER
THE CWA.

SATURDAY...KEPT SCHC FREEZING DRIZZLE IN FCST FOR 12-18Z SAT. NAM
AND GFS BOTH SUPPORT IT BY A THICK DRY LAYER FROM AROUND 900-600MB
AND THEN A SATURATED LAYER BELOW. A WEAK SHORTWAVE AT 500MB CREATING
WEAK POSITIVE VORTICITY ADVECTION INTO OUR CWA...AND CORRESPONDING
SLIGHTLY NEGATIVE OMEGA VALUES...AS WELL AS TEMPS ALL > -10C...MAY
SUPPORT ENOUGH LIFT FOR THE DRIZZLE. THE SFC TEMP IS PROGGED TO BE
BELOW FREEZING UNTIL AROUND 18Z. FROM 18Z SAT TO 00Z SUN...KEPT THE
SCHC OF RAIN SINCE THE GFS IS SHOWING A LITTLE DEEPER MOISTURE...
ADDITIONAL PVA AND SLIGHTLY GREATER LIFTING ON ISENTROPIC SURFACES.
AS FAR AS P-TYPE GOES...THE ECMWF SOLN SUPPORTS RAIN IN THE
AFTERNOON. THE GFS IS THE COLDER SOLN WHEN COMPARED TO THE ECMWF
THE GFS DOES NOT HAVE THE 1500FT WET BULB ZERO HEIGHT INTO THE U.P.
UNTIL 00Z SUN...WHILE THE ECMWF HAS IT IN THE CWA BETWEEN 12Z SAT
AND 00Z SUN. THE WET BULB ZERO HEIGHTS SUPPORT RAIN FROM SAT NIGHT
THROUGH MON NIGHT.

SUNDAY...WHILE WAA IS PREVALENT ON SUN...LACK OF UPPER LEVEL FORCING
AND OVERALL MOISTURE MAY INHIBIT THE CHANCE OF RAIN WE HAVE GOING.
BACKED OFF POPS TO 30 PERCENT. THERE MAY JUST BE LOW CLOUDS...FOG OR
DRIZZLE FOR SUN AND SUN NIGHT. WILL NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON THIS
DURING THE NEXT FCST UPDATE.

SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...LOW LEVEL OMEGA VALUES OF AROUND
0 TO -1 ARE FAVORABLE FOR LIFT OVER THE EAST HALF ON 00Z MON-00Z
TUE...BUT NOT AS FAVORABLE OVER THE WEST. 280K GFS ISENTROPIC SFC
INDICATES WEAK SUBSIDENCE OVER THE WEST MON 18Z. CUT BACK POPS TO 30
OVER FAR WEST ACCORDINGLY. POSITIVE VORTICITY ADVECTION OVER THE
EAST HALF ON TUE WILL CREATE A BETTER CHANCE FOR PCPN. KEPT GOING
POPS OF 50 IN THE EAST HALF AND SOUTH CENTRAL.

TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...00Z ECMWF AND 06Z GFS NOW BOTH SHOW A
CLOSED LOW OVER THE MIDWEST AT 12Z TUE...THE ECMWF STRONGER OF THE
TWO. THE GFS HAS A MORE ELONGATED SHAPE AND ONLY HAS THE EAST HALF
IN THE WARM SECTOR...WITH 850MB TEMPS ABOVE FREEZING THROUGH WED
18Z. THE ECMWF KEEPS THE ENTIRE U.P. IN THE WARM SECTOR...WITH 850MB
TEMPS ABOVE FREEZING THROUGH WED 12Z...AS THE CENTER OF THE LOW
TRACKS ACROSS FAR WESTERN UPPER MI ON WED MORNING. THERE IS A
GENERAL CONSENSUS THAT THERE WILL BE SOME SORT OF PCPN (GFS/ECMWF
SUPPORT) TUE 12Z-WED 12Z. MADE WEST HALF CHANCE OF RAIN OR SNOW AND
EAST HALF CHANCE OF RAIN THROUGH WED 12Z...THEN MADE ENTIRE CWA
CHANCE OF RAIN OR SNOW WED 12Z-THU 00Z TO REFLECT THE MODEL
UNCERTAINTY.

&&

.AVIATION (FOR THE 06Z TAF ISSUANCE)...

LIGHT WESTERLY FLOW WILL BECOME MORE SOUTHWESTERLY OVERNIGHT AND
INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE MIDDLE PORTION OF THIS FORECAST
PERIOD.  THE INCREASED WIND...ALONG WITH NEWLY FALLEN SNOW...WILL
ALLOW FOR POTENTIAL BLOWING SNOW MAINLY FROM 15Z TO ROUGHLY 03Z.  AT
THIS POINT...EXPECT VIS TO REMAIN ABOVE 5SM WITH BLSN...AND CIGS TO
STAY ABOVE BKN035 THROUGH 03Z.  AT THAT POINT...LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
AT CMX SHOULD BRING ABOUT A LOWER CLOUD DECK.  STILL THE MAIN
CONCERN OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS WILL BE THE STRONG WINDS TO NEAR
40KT...WITH THE HIGHEST GUSTS EXPECTED AT CMX.

&&

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

WINDS WILL GENERALLY DIMINISH INTO THE 5 TO 15 KT RANGE TONIGHT AS
SFC HIGH PRES RIDGE QUICKLY SLIDES ACROSS LAKE SUPERIOR. HOWEVER...
LIGHT WINDS WILL BE SHORT LIVED AS TIGHT PRES GRADIENT DEVELOPS BTWN
THE DEPARTING STRONG SFC HIGH PRES RIDGE AND LOW PRES TRACKING E TO
HUDSON BAY. WITH AIRMASS NOT FULLY STABLE OVER LAKE SUPERIOR AND
IMPRESSIVE PRES FALLS ACROSS ONTARIO ENHANCING S TO SW WINDS...STAGE
WILL BE SET FOR SOLID GALES THU. EXPECT TO SEE SOME GUSTS TO 45KT...
AND NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION THAT A FEW GUSTS COULD REACH 50KT BTWN
THE KEWEENAW AND ISLE ROYALE. WINDS WILL DIMINISH THU EVENING/NIGHT.
NO GALES ARE EXPECTED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FCST PERIOD.
