Wind Chill Advisory 4, NWS Marquette, MI

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
405 PM EST WED JAN 30 2008

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT)...
UPPER AIR PATTERN CONSISTS OF A NEGATIVELY TILTED 500 MB TROUGH OVER
THE LOWER GREAT LAKES WITH TROUGHING IN THE ROCKIES ALSO. THIS
TROUGHING IN THE ROCKIES WILL BECOME THE NEXT SNOWSTORM THAT WILL
HIT SE OF HERE THU NIGHT AND FRI.

IN THE MEANTIME...THINGS WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY QUIET DOWN AS A
STRONG SFC LOW IN EASTERN ONTARIO HEADS AWAY AND THE TIGHT PRESSURE
GRADIENT LESSENS WHICH WILL ALLOW THE WIND AND BLOWING SNOW TO DIE
DOWN. THE GOOD THING IS HAZARDS WILL ALSO DECREASE AS WE HAD AT ONE
TIME TODAY...27 HAZARDS AND ARE NOW DOWN TO 18 AND SLOWLY DECREASING
THEM. THAT MIGHT BE A RECORD FOR HAZARDS AND THE INTERESTING THING
IS WE WOULD HAVE HAD PLENTY MORE IF THE NEARSHORE FOR LAKE SUPERIOR
WAS STILL GOING. ANYWAY...LAKE EFFECT WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT...BUT
WITH THE COLD TEMPERATURES...THE SNOWFLAKE SIZE WILL BE SMALL WITH
VERY DRY AIR MOVING ACROSS LAKE SUPERIOR. THIS SHOULD KEEP AMOUNTS
IN CHECK. WITH WINDS THOUGH...BLOWING SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO BE A
PROBLEM AND KEPT BLIZZARD WARNINGS GOING THROUGH 9 PM FOR THE
KEWEENAW AND ALSO LUCE AND ALGER COUNTIES WITH THE STRONG WINDS
CONTINUING TO CAUSE PROBLEMS THERE. WILL PROBABLY THEN HAVE TO DO AN
ADVISORY FOR THOSE PLACES LATER TONIGHT AS THE WINDS START TO DIE
DOWN AND BLOWING SNOW GETS TO BE A BIT LESS OF A PROBLEM AND NEXT
SHIFT WILL HAVE TO DO THAT. HAVE BLOWING SNOW ADVISORIES FOR
ONTONAGON AND NORTHERN SCHOOLCRAFT WHICH I WILL CONTINUE INTO THE
EVENING HOURS ANYWAY UNTIL THE WIND DIES DOWN ENOUGH. HAD TO HOIST
WIND CHILL WARNINGS AND ADVISORIES AS TEMPERATURES WILL BE VERY
COLD. PROBLEM IS WINDS ARE UP PRETTY MUCH ALL NIGHT UNTIL LATE
TONIGHT WHEN THEY GET BELOW 10 MPH. WILL BE PLENTY COLD AND LOWERED
LOWS TONIGHT FROM GOING FORECAST AND WENT WELL BELOW GUIDANCE. LOWS
COULD GET DOWN TO -25 OVER THE WEST HALF AND WITH WINDS...NO
PROBLEM FOR A WIND CHILL WARNING WITH WINDS AND TEMPERATURES. OVER
THE EAST HALF OF CWA...SOMEWHAT WARMER TEMPERATURES WILL HAVE WIND
CHILLS UP A BIT AND WENT WITH A WIND CHILL ADVISORY THERE. SINCE DID
NOT WARM UP MUCH TODAY WITH MOST PLACES STAYING BELOW ZERO AND
REALLY COLD AIR TO COME IN...NO PROBLEM GETTING BELOW GUIDANCE
VALUES TONIGHT AT ALL AND DROPPED LOWS.

.LONG TERM (THU NIGHT THROUGH NEXT WED)...

THU...WITH THE CONTINUING DEPARTURE OF THE UPPER TROUGH AWAY FROM
THE AREA TONIGHT...THE UPPER FLOW AT LEAST OVER THE NORTHERN U.S.
TURNS MORE ZONAL. THIS CHANGE IN UPPER FLOW WILL ALLOW FOR WARMER
AIR TO MOVE INTO THE CWA...NOTED BY 850MB TEMPS CLIMBING FROM -16 TO
-22C AT 12Z TO -12 TO -15C AT 00Z. HOWEVER...THE WARM ADVECTION AT
850MB IS STRONGER THAN BELOW 850MB...DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE HIGH
PRESSURE RIDGE CURRENTLY IN MN AND WI IS MOVING INTO THE CWA AND
CAUSES LOW LEVEL WINDS TO DIMINISH. BECAUSE OF THIS...HIGH
TEMPERATURES ARE STILL EXPECTED TO BE ON THE COOL SIDE AND HAVE
STAYED ON THE LOWER SIDE OF GUIDANCE. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THEY
WILL BE ANYWHERE FROM 10 TO 15 DEGREES WARMER THAN TODAYS
HIGHS...THOUGH...AND LIGHTER WINDS WILL HELP TOO IN MAKING IT FEEL
WARMER. ANY PCPN CHANCES ARE MOSTLY CONFINED TO THE KEWEENAW AS WEST
WINDS CONTINUE LAKE EFFECT THERE...THOUGH THIS IS EXPECTED TO
DIMINISH IN THE AFTERNOON AS WINDS BACK SW.

THU NIGHT AND FRI...UPPER TROUGH CURRENTLY OVER THE FOUR CORNERS IS
PROGGED TO LIFT INTO ILLINOIS BY 12Z FRI AND INTO WESTERN PA BY 00Z
SAT. THIS TROUGH WILL BRING A RELATIVELY STRONG SURFACE LOW INTO
NORTHERN OHIO BY FRIDAY EVENING. PCPN ASSOCIATED WITH THE
DEFORMATION SIDE OF THE LOW IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS NORTHERN
ILLINOIS...EASTERN WISCONSIN AND INTO LOWER MI AFTER MIDNIGHT THU
NIGHT INTO FRI MORNING. SOME SNOW ALONG THE NORTHWEST PERIPHERY OF
THE DEFORMATION SIDE COULD TOUCH THE LAKE MICHIGAN SHORELINE
COUNTIES...ENOUGH TO WARRANT CONTINUING SOME 20-30 POPS.
ELSEWHERE...A DRY FORECAST IS PLANNED WITH SURFACE AND UPPER RIDGING
OVER THE AREA. TEMPERATURES ARE TOUGH TO FORECAST THU NIGHT...DUE TO
A NUMBER OF FACTORS: LIGHT WINDS OVER MUCH OF THE CWA WITH THE
SURFACE RIDGE...MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES PRIOR TO SOME CLOUD ARRIVAL FROM
THE SYSTEM TO OUR SOUTH...AND COOL TEMPS ON THU. HAVE WENT A FEW
DEGREES COLDER IN THE INTERIOR THAN THE PREVIOUS FORECAST...AND IT
IS POSSIBLE THEY MAY NEED TO BE LOWERED MORE. GOING HIGH TEMPERATURE
FORECAST STILL SEEMS REASONABLE.

FRI NIGHT AND SAT...UPPER TROUGH PRESENTLY OFF THE COAST OF BRITISH
COLUMBIA SHOULD HAVE PROGRESSED INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS/SOUTH
CENTRAL CANADA BY 00Z SAT. THIS TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO
NORTHERN MN BY 12Z SAT AND INTO THE CWA BY 00Z SUN. DPVA AND WARM
ADVECTION AHEAD OF THIS TROUGH MAY BRING SOME LIGHT SNOW INTO THE
CWA AFTER MIDNIGHT FRI NIGHT...BUT IT APPEARS THE BETTER FORCING IS
ON SAT...AND THUS HAVE HIGHER POPS ON SAT. TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE
WARMER FRI NIGHT THAN THE PAST TWO NIGHTS...ESPECIALLY WITH
INCREASING WINDS...MOISTURE AND CLOUDS AHEAD OF THE SURFACE COLD
FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER TROUGH. GOING LOWS LOOK GOOD. WITH
WARMER AIR INTO THE CWA ON SAT AND WARMER LOWS...HIGHS SHOULD BE
SLIGHTLY WARMER ON SAT TOO THAN FRI NIGHT...PERHAPS UP NEAR 30.

SAT NIGHT THROUGH WED...UPPER LEVEL PATTERN STILL FORECAST TO
AMPLIFY OVER THE COURSE OF THIS PERIOD...WITH A TROUGH EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP OVER THE WESTERN STATES ON SUNDAY...WHICH THEN IS PROGGED TO
SHIFT EASTWARD MON THROUGH WED AS ANOTHER STRONG SYSTEM DROPS DOWN
INTO BRITISH COLUMBIA. THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERN IS THE STORM SYSTEM
THAT DEVELOPS AS A RESULT OF THE TROUGH MOVING THROUGH THE PLAINS.
THE 29/12Z ECMWF SHOWED A DECENT SNOWSTORM FOR THE CWA LATE
MON...THOUGH THE 30/00Z ECMWF NOW TAKES THE STORM BOTH SLOWER AND
FARTHER SOUTH. 30/12Z ECMWF IS SIMILAR. THE PRESSURE IS PRETTY
IMPRESSIVE...982MB MOVING THROUGH SE LOWER. THE 06Z GFS IS A BIT
MORE PROGRESSIVE WITH THE WHOLE STORM AND WEAKER...HAVING A LOW MOVE
UP THROUGH NORTHERN LOWER AT 12Z TUE. 12Z GFS NOW TAKES TWO
DIFFERENT LOWS AT DIFFERENT TIMES...WITH THE SECOND LOW SIMILAR TO
THE 30/12Z ECMWF. HAVE DECIDED FOR NOW TO MAINTAIN CHANCE POPS FOR
SNOW BOTH MON AND TUE UNTIL MODELS SETTLE DOWN ON A SOLUTION. PRIOR
TO THE STORM...SHRTWV THAT MOVED INTO THE AREA LATE SAT WILL BE
EXITING THE AREA SAT NIGHT. WILL MAINTAIN CHANCE POPS FOR SAT NIGHT
FOR TIMING DIFFERENCES REGARDING THE WAVE. STILL SEEMS LIKE A DRY
SUN OVERALL...THOUGH GIVEN 850MB TEMPS AROUND -10C IN THE WAKE OF
THE SHRTWV AND A NW WIND IN THE MORNING...DECIDED TO INCLUDE SOME
SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR LAKE EFFECT. SINCE THE OVERALL TREND FOR THE
STORM ON MONDAY INTO TUESDAY IS SLOWER...HAVE DRIED OUT SUNDAY
NIGHT. AFTER THE STORM...UPPER TROUGH MOVING INTO THE CWA WILL BRING
COLDER AIR IN...WITH 850MB TEMPS DROPPING PERHAPS AS LOW AS -20C.
HOWEVER...THE 06Z GFS AND 30/00Z ECMWF ARE AT ODDS WITH HOW LONG
THIS UPPER TROUGH STAYS IN THE AREA...WITH THE 06Z GFS MORE
PROGRESSIVE. HPC AND THIS FORECAST WILL FAVOR A BLEND OF THE
TWO...WHICH WOULD HAVE THE UPPER TROUGH EAST OF HERE LATE WED. WILL
HAVE LAKE EFFECT SNOW CHANCES FOR THE NORTH AND NORTHWEST SNOWBELTS.

&&

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

CONTINUED WITH PERSISTENCE AT KCMX WITH VLIFR CONDITIONS AS WINDS
CONTINUE TO BLOW THE SNOW AROUND AND WINDS STAY UP UNTIL AFTER
MIDNIGHT WHEN CONDITIONS WILL THEN GO TO IFR AND THEN MVF BY THU
AFTERNOON AS WINDS FINALLY DIE DOWN ENOUGH TO STOP BLOWING SNOW.
KSAW HAS STRONG WINDS TO CONTINUE THE BLOWING SNOW THOUGH THE
AFTERNOON WITH IFR CONDITIONS CAUSED BY BLSN. AS WINDS DECREASE LATE
THIS AFTERNOON...MVFR CONDITIONS TAKE OVER AND THEN BY EVENING...VFR
CONDITIONS PREVAIL THROUGH THE REST OF THE PERIOD.

&&

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

WITH COLD TEMPERATURES AROUND AND HIGHER WINDS...FREEZING SPRAY WILL
CONTINUE TO BE A PROBLEM THROUGH THU NIGHT. AS THE STRONG LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM PULLS AWAY TO HUDSON BAY AND THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
LESSENS...WINDS WILL COME DOWN AND GALES SHOULD END LATE TONIGHT
ACROSS LAKE SUPERIOR. NEXT STORM SYSTEM STAYS WELL TO THE SOUTH FOR
THU NIGHT AND FRI. NO STRONG WINDS SEEN AFTER THURSDAY MORNING
THROUGH THE REST OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.
