AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
1105 AM EST TUE DEC 8 2009

.UPDATE...

UPDATED TO UPGRADE KEWEENAW COUNTY FM WINTER STORM WARNING TO
BLIZZARD WARNING CONSIDERING EXPOSURE TO STRONG NE WINDS/RATHER
UNSTABLE LLVLS THAT WL ENHANCE MIXING ON NW FLANK OF DEEP SFC LO
PROGGED TO LIFT FM THE PLAINS TO NRN LWR MI ON WED AFTN. THE WORST
CONDITIONS ARE NOT LIKELY TO BEGIN UNTIL 12Z WED. MAY UPGRADE OTHER
COUNTIES AS WELL...BUT PROJECTED WORK ON HOUGHTON NOAA WEATHER RADIO
THIS AFTN THAT MAY LAST INTO THE EVNG WARRANTS AN EARLIER ISSUANCE
OF HEADLINE FOR THAT AREA BEFORE THE WORK BEGINS.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND RUC ANALYSIS SHOW LONGWAVE TROUGH EXTENDING
FROM WESTERN HUDSON BAY SOUTHWEST THROUGH MONTANA THE SOUTHWEST TO
THROUGH THE GREAT BASIN. A BROAD WEAK RIDGE IS OVER THE UPPER GREAT
LAKES REGION. A SHORTWAVE STRETCHES FROM NORTHERN MINNESOTA EAST TO
NEW ENGLAND. OTHER WEAK SHORTWAVES ARE BEING EJECTED OUT OF THE BASE
OF THE LONGWAVE AND ARE OVER SOUTHWEST SOUTH DAKOTA AND OVER THE
CENTRAL PLAINS. SURFACE ANALYSIS DEPICTS A LARGE HIGH OVER SOUTHERN
SASKATCHEWAN AND ACCOMPANYING RIDGE BLANKETING THE GREAT LAKES
REGION. A DEEP LOW IS DEVELOPING OVER GRAND JUNCTION. A WEAK SURFACE
TOUGH ASSOCIATED WITH MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE STRETCHES FROM NEW ENGLAND
TO WESTERN LAKE SUPERIOR THIS MORNING.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
THE SOUTH END OF THE LONGWAVE TROUGH WILL SWEEP INTO THE CENTRAL
PLAINS WHILE THE NORTH END REMAINS OVER THE NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS AND
CENTRAL CANADA. THIS WILL PUSH THE RIDGE OVER THE FORECAST AREA A
LITTLE NORTH INTO CENTRAL ONTARIO. THE GRAND JUNCTION LOW WILL SHIFT
TO NEAR KANSAS CITY. THE SURFACE RIDGE OVER THE AREA WILL SHIFT TO
NEW ENGLAND. WEAK SHORTWAVES WILL MOVE INTO NORTHERN MINNESOTA AND
OVER CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY. WINDS WILL BE OUT OF THE
NORTHWEST THIS MORNING OVER THE LAKE AND VEERING MORE NORTHEAST. THE
LAKE-850MB DELTA-T'S WILL BE AROUND 18C OVER LAKE SUPERIOR. 925MB
WIND CONVERGENCE WILL BE WEAK. THUS WILL BE CALLING FOR LES DOWNWIND
OF LAKE SUPERIOR. GUIDANCE SHOWING NEARLY SATURATED CONDITIONS WILL
BE THE RULE OVER THE FORECAST AREA IN THE MORNING CONTRIBUTING TO
THE LAKE EFFECT SNOWS.

THE LONGWAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE TO THE WESTERN DAKOTAS WHILE THE
SOUTHERN PART OF THE TROUGH WILL BECOME A CLOSED LOW OVER SOUTHERN
WISCONSIN TONIGHT. SHORTWAVES SHIFTING OUT OF THE BASE OF THIS LOW
WILL SPREAD INTO THE FORECAST AREA LATE. THE SURFACE LOW WILL MOVE
INTO SOUTHERN LAKE MICHIGAN. CYCLONIC FLOW ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
WILL KEEP A EASTERLY FLOW ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. DELTA-T'S WILL
BE BETWEEN 13C AND 17C OVER LAKE SUPERIOR. DEEP MOISTURE WILL BE THE
RULE OVER THE UPPER GREAT LAKES REGION. LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE WILL
BE PARTICULARLY STRONG OVER LAKE SUPERIOR CONTRIBUTING TO MORE LES
DOWNWIND OF LAKE SUPERIOR. THE PRESSURE GRADIENTS WILL BE FAIRLY
TIGHT CONTRIBUTING TO CONSIDERABLE BLOWING SNOW AS WELL. SO LES WITH
STRONG WINDS ARE APT TO PRODUCE OCCASIONAL WHITE OUT CONDITIONS OVER
MUCH OF THE AREA CALLING FOR A WINTER STORM.

THE LONGWAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE INTO CENTRAL CANADA AND EXPAND OVER
THE NORTHERN PLAINS ON WEDNESDAY. A PRONOUNCED SHORTWAVE TROUGH
MOVING THROUGH THE BASE OF THE LONGWAVE WILL SWEEP THROUGH THE UPPER
GREAT LAKES AS IT WEAKENS. THE DEEP LOW WILL MOVE TO CENTRAL LAKE
HURON. DEEP MOISTURE WRAPPING AROUND THIS LOW WILL BLANKET THE GREAT
LAKES REGION. THE TIGHT GRADIENTS POINT TO STRONG WINDS...WHICH WILL
VEER NORTH OF THE WESTERN LAKE SUPERIOR AND STILL NORTHEAST OVER THE
EAST PART OF THE LAKE.  A -22C 850MB THERMAL TROUGH WILL SHIFT INTO
WESTERN ONTARIO AND THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY. DELTA-T'S
WILL CONTINUE TO BE COLD ENOUGH TO KEEP LAKE EFFECT SNOWS GOING.
THUS WILL KEEP LES GOING.

THE LONGWAVE WILL MOVE INTO THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY AND
CENTRAL CANADA WEDNESDAY NIGHT. A SHORTWAVE WILL SWING THROUGH THE
BASE OF THIS TROUGH AND THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA. DEEP MOISTURE
WRAPPING AROUND THE LOW WILL REMAIN OVER THE FORECAST AREA. THE
SURFACE LOW WILL LIFT NORTHEAST INTO QUEBEC KEEPING A NORTHERLY FLOW
AROUND THE FORECAST AREA. THE 850MB THERMAL TROUGH EDGE EVER CLOSER
TO UPPER MICHIGAN CAUSING THE DELTA-T'S TO INCREASE TO 24C. LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE OVER THE FORECAST AREA. TOGETHER THIS
SHOULD KEEP LAKE EFFECT SNOWS GOING.

THE LONGWAVE TROUGH WILL BECOME ELONGATED AGAIN ON THURSDAY. THIS
TIME IT WILL STRETCH FROM A LOW OVER NORTHERN SASKATCHEWAN ACROSS
NORTHERN ONTARIO...AND CENTRAL QUEBEC. WEAK SHORTWAVES WILL SWEEP
THROUGH THE BASE OF THIS TROUGH AND THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA. THE
SURFACE LOW WILL MOVE TO EAST CENTRAL QUEBEC CAUSING THE GRADIENTS
TO WEAKEN AND WINDS TO DIE DOWN A BIT. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT OUT OF
THE NORTH. A LARGE HIGH WILL DOMINATE THE THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND THE
SOUTHERN STATES. THE 850MB THERMAL TROUGH OF -24C WILL SLIDE INTO
WESTERN LAKE SUPERIOR. COLD AIR WILL REMAIN EMBEDDED OVER THE AREA.
THEREFORE...HIGH TEMPERATURES SHOULD REACH ONLY INTO THE SINGLE
DIGITS...WHILE OVER THE EAST TEMPERATURES COULD REACH 20C.
THEREFORE...WILL BE LOOKING FOR LES AGAIN.

&&

.AVIATION /FOR THE 12Z TAF ISSUANCE/...

AT KCMX...FOR THE FIRST SIX OF HOURS OF THE FCST PERIOD VIS WILL
REMAIN VFR WHILE CIGS TEETER NEAR THE VFR/MVFR LINE AS DISORGANIZED
-SHSN PERSIST. EXPECT DETERIORATING CONDITIONS TO VLIFR DURING THE
LATE EVENING AS RAPIDLY DEEPENING LOW PRES MOVES NE TOWARD THE GREAT
LAKES... SPREADING SNOW AND GUSTY WINDS INTO THE AREA. AT
KSAW...EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS TO LINGER THRU THE AFTN UNDER
INCREASING/THICKENING MID/HIGH CLOUDS AHEAD OF STRENGTHENING LOW
PRES OVER THE SRN PLAINS. EXPECT DETERIORATING CONDITIONS IN THE
EVENING TO VLIFR AS RAPIDLY DEEPENING LOW PRES MOVES NE TOWARD THE
GREAT LAKES...SPREADING SNOW AND GUSTY WINDS INTO THE AREA.

&&

.MARINE /FOR THE 4 AM LAKE SUPERIOR FORECAST ISSUANCE/...

BIG STORM AND STRONG WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE PROBLEM FOR THIS
FORECAST. UPGRADED THE GALE WATCH TO A GALE WARNING EVERYWHERE.
STRONGEST WINDS APPEAR TO BE AHEAD OF THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
TONIGHT THROUGH WED AND THEN AFTER LOW PASSES...WINDS DIE DOWN A
BIT. THIS WILL BE THE FIRST GALE EVENT. SECOND GALE EVENT WITH WINDS
A BIT LESS THAN WED WILL BEGIN ON THU WITH GALES FOR THE EASTERN TWO
THIRDS THU AFTERNOON THROUGH FRI. A THIRD GALE EVENT WOULD BE
POSSIBLE IF THE GFS VERIFIES FOR SAT. WILL HAVE TO WATCH THAT EVENT
TOO AS PRESSURE GRADIENT GETS TIGHT AGAIN WITH THAT. ADDED PLENTY OF
FREEZING SPRAY TO THE FORECAST...AS TEMPERATURES STAY NEAR OR BELOW
20F THROUGH THE PERIOD. PUT OUT A LAKESHORE FLOOD STATEMENT FOR
ALGER AND MARQUETTE COUNTIES AS WAVES GET UP TO 17 TO 22 FEET WHICH
SHOULD CAUSE SOME MINOR FLOODING OF LOW LYING ROADS NEAR LAKE
SUPERIOR AND SOME BEACH EROSION AS WELL.
