AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
350 PM EST FRI FEB 20 2009

.SYNOPSIS.../ISSUED AT 350 PM/

HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS WILL SHIFT EAST INTO THE GREAT
LAKES TONIGHT. THIS SCENARIO WILL BRING A GRADUAL END TO LINGERING
LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS THIS EVENING...WITH A BRIEF PERIOD OF DRY
WEATHER THEN EXPECTED OVERNIGHT. LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
OVER THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY EARLY SATURDAY AND TRACK INTO
SOUTHERN MICHIGAN...RETURNING THE THREAT FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW TO
NORTHERN MICHIGAN FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEKEND. A RENEWED SURGE
OF COLD AIR AND LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS WILL FOLLOW TO ROUND OUT
THE WEEKEND...BEFORE DRY WEATHER AGAIN RETURNS EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH
THE APPROACH OF HIGH PRESSURE.

KAS

.SHORT TERM.../ISSUED AT 350 PM/...TONIGHT

SFC RIDGE AXIS JUST UPSTREAM STRETCHING ACROSS WISCONSIN THIS
AFTERNOON...SLOWLY MAKING PROGRESS INTO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES.
NONETHELESS...WITH H8 TEMPS RUNNING AROUND -15C AND A STEADY NW FLOW
OFF THE LAKES...FAIRLY WIDESPREAD COVERAGE OF LIGHT LAKE EFFECT SNOW
SHOWERS CONTINUES OVER A PORTION OF NRN LOWER MICHIGAN...ESPECIALLY
ACROSS THE GRAND TRAVERSE BAY/KALKASKA/MISSAUKEE COUNTY AREA WITH A
FLOW TRAJECTORY CONNECTED BACK TO LAKE SUPERIOR. SOME DOWNWIND
DIURNAL EXPANSION TO THE SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY HAS TRANSPIRED THIS
AFTERNOON. BUT DRIER LOW LEVEL AIR SITUATED OVER THE NRN/ERN PART OF
THE CWA HAS LIMITED CLOUD COVER LET ALONE SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY FOR
THOSE AREAS WITH QUITE A BIT OF SUNSHINE DOMINATING.

TONIGHT...SFC RIDGE AXIS EXPECTED TO SLIDE OVERHEAD WHILE MEAN LOW
LEVEL NW FLOW FINALLY WEAKENS AND BACKS BY MID EVENING. WILL
PROBABLY TAKE UNTIL THAT TIME TO FINALLY GET RID OF THE REMAINING
LAKE EFFECT CONVECTION AND HAVE THUS STRETCHED HIGHER (LIKELY) POPS
INTO THE MID EVENING TIMEFRAME BEFORE ENDING. ONLY MINIMAL
ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATIONS ANTICIPATED.

ELSEWHERE...CLR TO PTCLDY SKIES OVER THE NRN/ERN PORTION OF THE CWA
FOR THE EVENING FOLLOWED BY INCREASING CLOUDS OVERNIGHT WITH THE
APPROACH OF TOMORROWS HEADLINE SNOW MAKER.

.LONG TERM.../ISSUED AT 350 PM/...SATURDAY AND BEYOND

FORECAST FOCUS FOR THE LONG TERM LIES SQUARELY WITH EVENTUAL IMPACTS
OF VIGOROUS NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE DIVING INTO THE NORTHERN
PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON. NORTHERN HEMISPHERIC WATER VAPOR IMAGERY...
OVERLAID WITH RUC INITIATION AND 12Z UPPER AIR ANALYSIS...SHOWS THE
POTENCY OF THIS SYSTEM WITH TIGHT COMPACT SIGNATURE AND 110+ KNOT
250MB JET DIVING IN JUST BEHIND IT. NO SURPRISE GIVEN ITS APPEARANCE
THAT OVERALL THEME OF NUMERICAL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS A QUICKER NEGATIVE
TILT/CLOSING OFF OF THE MID LEVELS...AND A SUBSEQUENT FARTHER NORTH
PASSAGE COMPARED TO JUST 24 HOURS AGO. SNOWFALL AMOUNTS AND
NORTHWARD PLACEMENT OF BEST DYNAMICS REMAIN A FORMIDABLE CHALLENGE
THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT.

SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT...WOW...WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES.
YESTERDAY AT THIS TIME IT LOOKED AS IF THE AFOREMENTIONED CLIPPER
SYSTEM WOULD PASS HARMLESSLY TO OUR SOUTH...JUST BRINGING SOME
NUISANCE LIGHT SNOW TO THE NORTHWOODS. LATEST WATER VAPOR IMAGERY
AND MODEL GUIDANCE TELL A VASTLY DIFFERENT STORY...WITH A RAPIDLY
DEEPENING MID LEVEL WAVE (NOT SO EXPLOSIVE AT THE SURFACE WITH LACK
OF STRONG BAROCLINIC ZONE) CUTTING RIGHT ACROSS CENTRAL MICHIGAN
SATURDAY...REACHING GEORGIAN BAY BY SUNDAY MORNING. THIS PLACES MUCH
OF NORTHERN MICHIGAN DIRECTLY IN THE CROSS HAIRS OF HEAVY SNOW.
PLENTY GOING FOR THIS SYSTEM TO LAY DOWN A PATH OF SIGNIFICANT SNOW
(MAYBE EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY...EXTREMELY HEAVY SNOWFALL RATES)
SATURDAY AND SATURDAY EVENING AS DEEPENING SYSTEM INTERACTS WITH
NORTHWARD SURGING WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO MOISTURE TAP. COUPLE THIS
WITH STRONG DPVA PASSAGE...DEEP LAYER OMEGA PEGGED IN FAVORABLE DGZ
(FAVORING HIGH SLR...ON THE ORDER OF 20 TO 1)...AND STRONG
SUGGESTION OF ENHANCED CONVECTIVE BANDING STRUCTURES ALONG LEADING
EDGE OF DRY SLOT PUNCHING INTO SOUTH CENTRAL MICHIGAN...SUPPORTS
POTENTIAL OF VERY HEAVY SNOWFALL RATES...EASILY ON THE ORDER OF AN
INCH TO TWO PER HOUR. CROSS SECTIONAL ANALYSIS INDICATES HEAVIEST
SNOW WILL FALL ALONG AND SOUTHEAST OF A LINE EXTENDING FROM ALPENA
TO HOUGHTON LAKE (UPWARDS OF 6 TO 8 INCHES BY LATE SATURDAY
EVENING). IN ADDITION...SOLID LAKE ENHANCEMENT POTENTIAL EXISTS NEAR
THE LAKE HURON SHORELINE WITH MAINTENANCE OF -10C OR COOLER 850MB
TEMPERATURES OVER CENTRAL LAKE HURON AS WINDS BACK EASTERLY AHEAD OF
APPROACHING SYSTEM. THUS...COULD EASILY SEE SOME FAVORED LOCATIONS
IN ALCONA AND IOSCO COUNTIES APPROACHING A FOOT. SNOW INTENSITY WILL
GRADUALLY TAPER OFF FARTHER NORTH AND WEST...BUT STILL WITH SEVERAL
INCHES EXPECTED UP TO THE STRAITS. EASTERN UPPER APPEARS TOO FAR
REMOVED FROM BEST DYNAMICS TO SEE APPRECIABLE SNOW. NOW...THAT
SAID...FGEN AND DEFORMATION PROCESSES (ALTHOUGH STRONG FGEN APPEARS
LACKING IN THIS CASE) SEEM TO SET UP FARTHER NORTH AND WEST THAN
MODELS DISPLAY. IF THIS OCCURS...COULD EASILY SEE WARNING CRITERIA
SNOW UP THROUGH THE M-32 CORRIDOR. SYSTEM SNOW TAPERS OFF LATER
SATURDAY NIGHT...ONLY TO BE REPLACED BY NNW LAKE ENHANCEMENT...
TARGETING THE GRAND TRAVERSE BAY REGION FOR ADDITIONAL OVERNIGHT
ACCUMULATIONS. DID NOT GO TO OVERBOARD WITH SNOWFALL AMOUNTS FOR
THIS REGION...WITH FORECAST RAOBS SUGGESTING MINIMAL OMEGA THROUGH
THE COLUMN. DO FEEL THIS IS UNDERDONE...BUT GIVEN COMPLEXITY FROM
COMING EVENT...WILL LET FUTURE SHIFTS ADJUST SNOW AMOUNTS UPWARD AS
NECESSARY.

AS FOR HEADLINES...HATE TO DO IT WITH NO WATCH IN EFFECT...BUT GIVEN
OVERWHELMING 12Z SUPPORT...WILL PULL THE TRIGGER ON A WINTER STORM
WARNING ALONG AND SOUTHEAST OF A LINE EXTENDING FROM ALPENA TO
HOUGHTON LAKE...WITH WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES ACROSS THE REMAINDER
OF NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN. WARNINGS AND ADVISORIES WILL RUN FROM
12Z SATURDAY THROUGH 03Z SUNDAY. BASED OFF SYSTEM SPEED/ONSET OF
NORTHERN LAKE MICHIGAN LES...COULD SEE THE NEED FOR SOME EXTENSIONS
...BUT FIGURE THIS IS A GOOD STARTING POINT.

SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT...NNW FLOW LAKE SNOWS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE
THROUGH THIS PERIOD WITH MAINTENANCE OF PLENTIFUL LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
AND 850MB TEMPERATURES AVERAGING IN THE NEGATIVE UPPER TEENS
CELSIUS. SIMPLY USING MODEL SOUNDINGS...WHICH SHOW INVERSIONS
REMAINING AT 850MB OR LESS THROUGH THE DURATION...SUGGEST ADDITIONAL
ACCUMULATIONS SHOULD BE HELD IN CHECK. HOWEVER...AS JUST EXPERIENCED
LAST NIGHT...WITH MOISTURE UP THROUGH FAVORABLE DGZ...INVERSION
HEIGHTS CAN BE SEVERELY OVERRATED. ONCE AGAIN...GIVEN BREVITY OF
TIME...DID NOT MAKE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO INHERITED GRIDS...WHICH
FEATURED OVERALL GIST OF FORECAST. MUCH LIKE SATURDAY NIGHT...
HOWEVER...COULD EVENTUALLY SEE THE NEED TO UP THE SNOW AMOUNTS
THROUGH THIS PERIOD...WITH SOME POTENTIAL HEADLINES IN FAVORED
LOCATIONS.

LATER PERIODS (MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)...TIMING AND MAGNITUDE OF
SHORTWAVES DURING RAPID TRANSITION TO WHAT BECOMES ESSENTIALLY ZONAL
FLOW ACROSS THE NORTHERN CONUS REMAINS PROBLEMATIC AT BEST THROUGH
THE UPCOMING WORK WEEK. AFTER SOME VERY LIGHT LINGERING LAKE SNOWS
MONDAY...STILL LOOKING LIKE WE CAN SQUEEZE OUT AT LEAST A FEW DRY
PERIODS MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY AS MID LEVEL AND SURFACE RIDGE AXIS
CRESTS THE REGION. BEYOND THAT...YOUR GUESS IS AS GOOD AS MINE WITH
VERY PROGRESSIVE FLOW DEVELOPING ACROSS THE NORTHERN CONUS. GIVEN
INHERENT TIMING ISSUES OF ANY WAVE...HAVE TAKEN THE SIMPLE WAY OUT
(IS USUALLY THE CASE AT THIS TIME FRAME) AND SIDED WITH HPC
GUIDANCE...FEATURING CHANCE POPS TUESDAY NIGHT ALL THE WAY THROUGH
FRIDAY. ALTHOUGH GRIDS WILL FEATURE ALL SNOW MENTION THROUGH THE
PERIOD...DEGREE OF WARMING IN QUESTION OWNING TO EXACT PASSAGE OF
VARIOUS WAVES...WITH SOME POTENTIAL OF A WINTRY MIX AT ANY TIME
THROUGH THIS PERIOD (ESPECIALLY IF THE 12Z GFS HAS ITS WAY).

MSB

.AVIATION.../ISSUED AT 231 PM/...VALID FOR 18Z TAFS

LAKE SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS NW LOWER MICHIGAN WILL CONTINUE TO DWINDLE
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS...IMPACTING JUST THE TVC TAF SITE WITH
BKN MAINLY VFR CIGS AND SLIGHTLY REDUCED VSBYS THROUGH 00Z.
MEANWHILE...DRIER AIR BLEEDING INTO THE TIP OF THE MITT COUNTIES AND
NE LOWER MICHIGAN WILL RESULT IN SCT VFR CLOUDS AT PLN/APN.

VFR CONDITIONS PERSIST AT THE TERMINAL SITES THROUGH TONIGHT.
HOWEVER...A RATHER STRONG AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO SPIN
UP OVER THE PLAINS TONIGHT AND ROLL THROUGH LOWER MICHIGAN SATURDAY.
THIS STORM WILL BRING A RAPID DETERIORATION TO CONDITIONS AT ALL 3
TERMINAL SITES SATURDAY MORNING WITH SNOW AND IFR CONDITIONS
DEVELOPING BETWEEN 14Z AND 16Z.
