&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 339 PM EST TUE JAN 13 2009/

SHORT TERM...

TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...

LAKE EFFECT GAINING A MORE CELLULAR NATURE THIS AFTERNOON GIVEN
INCREASING LLEVEL INSTABILITY.  MOST OF THE ACCUMULATING SNOW IS NOW
OVER...BUT SOME HEAVIER CELLS ARE CERTAINLY POSSIBLE GIVEN WHAT HAS
OCCURRED THIS MORNING AND MODERATE LEVELS OF INSTABILITY.
TONIGHT...THE LLEVEL FLOW WILL BACK...FETCH OVER THE LAKE WILL
DECREASE AND AS DRIER AIR WORKS IN FROM THE WEST...WE SHOULD SEE
SNOWS WEAKEN AND PULL EAST.

TONIGHT WE WILL ONCE AGAIN GET A VERY BRIEF BREAK AS A WEAK H850
RIDGE MOVES OVERHEAD AND IS QUICKLY REPLACED BY AN ARRIVING SHOT OF
STRONG ISENTROPIC LIFT.  WILL UP POPS TO LIKELY AFTER ABOUT 9Z OVER
WESTERN AREAS AS THE GFS/NAM AGREE ON AREA OF ISENTROPIC LIFT BEING
OVERHEAD WELL BEFORE DAYBREAK.  TEMPS WILL FALL QUICKLY THIS EVENING
BUT WILL LIKELY LEVEL OFF OR EVEN RISE SOME AS MID AND UPPER LEVEL
CLOUDINESS SPREADS BACK OVERHEAD AHEAD OF THE SNOW.

GFS NAM ARE QUITE SIMILAR WITH TRACK OF LOW FOR WEDNESDAY...WITH
BOTH HAVING A TRACK FURTHER SOUTH THAN THIS PAST SYSTEM WITH THE GFS
A LITTLE BIT SOUTH OF THE NAM/SREFS.  WILL LEAN TOWARDS A NAM-LIKE
SOLUTION FOR WEDNESDAY AND BEYOND WHICH FAVORS A LOW TRACK PRETTY
MUCH DIRECTLY OVERHEAD ON WEDNESDAY.  GIVEN THAT THIS CLIPPER WILL
BE QUITE MOISTURE STARVED /DEWPOINTS WILL LIKELY NOT REACH MUCH
ABOVE 10F DURING THE EVENT/ WE WILL NOT SEE MUCH QPF...ONE TO TWO
TENTHS.  THE DENDRITIC GROWTH ZONE IS WELL SITUATED FOR HIGH
SNOW:LIQUID RATIOS...SO EXPECT A WIDESPREAD 2-3 INCH SNOWFALL.
WINDS DURING THE DAY WILL BE LIGHT...GIVEN THE LOW TRACK OVERHEAD.
HAVE OPTED FOR NO HEADLINES DURING THE DAY AS 2-3 INCHES WILL FALL
BELOW CRITERIA...BUT WILL MENTION TRAVEL IMPACTS IN THE HWO.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT IS WHEN THINGS GET MORE INTERESTING AS LOW DEPARTS
AND 1045 HIGH MOVES INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS.  T850 FALLS BELOW -20C
AND BUFKIT PROFILES SUGGEST TERRIFIC CONDITIONS FOR FLUFFY LAKE
EFFECT SNOW...AND LOTS OF IT.  EXPECT SNOW:LIQUID RATIOS TO APPROACH
20:1 AND GIVEN EXTREME INSTABILITY...EXPECT HEAVY LAKE SNOWS.
CURRENT TRAJECTORY FAVORS BERRIEN/CASS/ST JOE COUNTIES.  CERTAINLY
EXPECT WARNING LEVEL SNOWFALLS FROM THE EVENT...BUT GIVEN SOME
UNCERTAINTY IN BAND LOCATION GIVEN A BACKING WIND PROFILES AND THE
AMOUNT OF TIME UNTIL THE EVENT...WILL PAINT A BROADER LES WATCH FOR
THE COUNTIES MENTIONED ABOVE AND A SURROUNDING SET.  ONE FOOT SNOW
TOTALS APPEAR LIKELY.  WINDS ARE MORE OF A QUESTION.  RISE FALL
COUPLET IS MORE WELL ALIGNED AND SOMEWHAT STRONGER THAN TODAY...BUT
ARRIVES AT NIGHT AND H925/H850 FLOW IS NO MORE THAN 25-30KTS.
SO...EXPECT BLOWING SNOW ALONG WITH THE LAKE EFFECT...BUT FEEL THAT
WIDESPREAD BLIZZARD CONDITIONS ARE NOT LIKELY.  SO HAVE CANCELLED
THE BLIZZARD WATCH BUT WILL MENTION LOCAL BLIZZARD CONDITIONS
POSSIBLE IN LAKE SNOW BANDS.

ON THURSDAY THE LAKE SNOWS WILL SLOWLY WEAKEN AND PULL EAST...BUT
ADDITIONAL LIGHT ACCUMS LOOK POSSIBLE.  WILL ALSO LIKELY SEE WIND
CHILLS APPROACHING ADVISORY LEVELS...BUT WILL HOLD OFF ON FLAGS AT
THIS TIME GIVEN ACTIVE SHORT TERM WEATHER.

LONG TERM...

THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY

ARCTIC CHILL STILL ON THE WAY WITH TEMPS EXPECTED TO BE WELL BELOW
NORMAL BY FRI MORNING. ACTIVE NORTHWEST FLOW WILL CONTINUE INTO
THE WEEKEND SUPPORTING AT LEAST TWO MORE CLIPPER SYSTEMS EACH WITH
THE POTENTIAL OF BRINGING SNOWFALL TO THE REGION. CURRENT MEAN
ENSEMBLE AS WELL AS THE LATEST 12Z GFS AND ECMWF...CONTINUE TO
SUPPORT BREAKDOWN OF THE THE POTENT EAST ASIAN JET...WITH A
TRANSITION TO HIGHLY AMPLIFIED FLOW OVER THE PACIFIC. THESE TWO
FEATURES WILL ALLOW A PATTERN TRANSITION LIKELY BACK TO A NEGATIVE
PNA REGIME AS THE EASTERN PACIFIC RIDGE BREAKS DOWN ALLOWING
RESURGENCE OF THE EASTERN CONUS RIDGE WITH TROUGHING SETTING UP IN
THE WEST. THIS COULD SPELL ANOTHER ROUND OF ACTIVE WEATHER AS
SOUTHWEST FLOW LOOKS TO SETUP ONCE AGAIN. THIS FITS THE BILL FOR A
LA NINA PATTERN...WHICH IS GAINING STRENGTH IN THE PAC. BOTTOM
LINE...EXPECT TEMPS TO GRADUALLY WARM BACK TO CLIMO NORMS...AND
POSSIBLY ABOVE AT SOME POINT. FELT THE BEST SOLUTION WAS TO MODIFIED
THE DATABASE WITH A BLEND OF THE NAEFS/GEFS/AND 12Z-00Z ECMWF WHICH
HAS THE SUPPORT FROM THE AFOREMENTIONED GUIDANCE.

COLDEST DAY LOOKING TO BE FRIDAY AS A AN ARCTIC HIGH WILL SHIFT JUST
SOUTH OF THE AREA...AN OPTIMAL LOCATION FOR EXCELLENT RADIATIONAL
COOLING AND COLD TEMPS. TEMPS THU NIGHT WILL FALL OFF
DRAMATICALLY...ESPECIALLY WHERE CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS OVERLAP
THE LONGEST. THIS LOOKS TO FAVOR THE SOUTHWEST CWA. HAVE ADJUSTED
TEMPS DOWN SOME FRI...IN LINE WITH SHALLOW MIXING TYPICAL IN AN
ARCTIC INTRUSION. FEEL MANY PLACES WILL STRUGGLE TO GET ABOVE
ZERO...ESPECIALLY WHERE THE SNOW PACK IS DEEP AND GIVEN H925 TEMPS
AROUND -17C. NEXT CLIPPER WILL ARRIVE FRI NIGHT...BRINGING CHANCES
OF SNOW TO THE REGION INTO SAT. HAVE OPTED FOR FASTER ENSEMBLE
MEANS...WHICH SUPPORT SNOW ARRIVAL FRIDAY NIGHT AND ENDS THINGS BY
SAT NIGHT WITH POSSIBLE LAKE SNOW CHANCES IN THE NW. ANOTHER SYSTEM
IS EXPECTED IN THE SUNDAY NIGHT MON TIME FRAME...AND AGAIN HAVE
PREFERRED THE FASTER NAEFS/GEFS MEAN SOLUTIONS...DO TO TYPICAL SLOW
FORECAST MODEL BIAS WRT CLIPPERS.

RIDGING WILL BE ONGOING EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE WESTERN RIDGE SHIFTS
SLOWLY EAST. HAVE KEPT TEMPS AT OR JUST BELOW CLIMO NORMS. STILL
POSSIBLE THAT ONE MORE CLIPPER SYSTEMS COULD AFFECT THE REGION AS
PREFERRED BY THE GFS...BUT FEEL AN ADJUSTMENT TOWARD THE EXPECTED
PATTERN SHIFT...SUPPORTED BY THE MEAN ENSEMBLE PROGS...IS PRUDENT.
