AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
200 PM EST THU JAN 6 2011

.SYNOPSIS.../ISSUED AT 418 AM/

SEVERAL WEAK DISTURBANCES...ROTATING AROUND A BROAD UPPER AIR LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM CENTERED IN THE GEORGIAN BAY...WILL BE THE FOCAL
POINT FOR NUMEROUS SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE REGION THURSDAY INTO
FRIDAY. A NORTHWEST FLOW OFF LAKE MICHIGAN...WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO
BRING SOME LAKE EFFECT AND LAKE ENHANCED SNOWS TO EASTERN
UPPER...AND NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN...ESPECIALLY TONIGHT INTO
FRIDAY. MODERATE TO SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN
THE NORTHWEST FAVORED SNOW BELTS BY FRIDAY NIGHT...WITH MUCH LIGHTER
AMOUNTS EXPECTED FOR INTERIOR LOCATIONS WELL AWAY FROM LAKE MICHIGAN.

WINDS WILL TREND NORTHERLY SUNDAY...AS THE STORM SYSTEM MOVES TOWARD
THE NORTH ATLANTIC. THIS PATTERN WILL CONFINE LAKE SNOWS...TO THE
LAKE MICHIGAN AND LAKE HURON SHORELINES THROUGH MONDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM.../ISSUED AT 200 PM/...THIS AFTERNOON

UPDATE...WITH SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OVER 6 INCHES ALREADY REPORTED IN
ANTRIM AND KALKASKA COUNTIES...COUPLED WITH ANTICIPATED
ACCUMULATIONS TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...WILL PROBABLY GO AHEAD AND
ISSUE A HANDFUL OF WARNINGS/ADVISORIES VALID THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING.
MORE INFO WITH THE AFTERNOON (4PM) FORECAST DISCUSSION.

ADAM

MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE CENTER WORKING THROUGH SRN LAKE MICHIGAN THIS
MORNING. ASSOCIATED SFC LOW NOW CENTERED OVER THE SOO AREA AND
SLOWLY WORKING THROUGH THE REGION...WITH A TRAILING COLD FRONT/SFC
TROUGH STRETCHING DOWN THROUGH NRN LOWER MICHIGAN AND FLOW TURNING
SHARPLY NW BEHIND THE FRONT.

AREA OF LIGHT SYNOPTIC SNOWFALL THAT PRODUCED AROUND AN INCH OF
ACCUMULATION OVER A GOOD PORTION OF THE CWA IS NOW EXITING INTO LAKE
HURON. BUT WITH COLDER AIR ADVECTING INTO THE REGION...LAKE
EFFECT/INDUCED PRECIP OFF LAKE MICHIGAN HAS BEEN GRADUALLY RAMPING
UP OVER A PORTION OF NW LOWER MICHIGAN THIS MORNING SEEMING MORE
TIED TO THE H8 TROUGH AXIS NOW SLIDING THROUGH NW LOWER MICHIGAN...
WITH SOME AREAS FROM PETOSKEY TO GRAND TRAVERSE BAY SEEING SOME GOOD
SNOWFALL AT TIMES. LAKE CONVECTION HAS BEEN MAINLY CELLULAR/
UNORGANIZED AND TRANSIENT...SO FAR.

REST OF TODAY...LOW LEVEL FLOW EXPECTED TO FURTHER VEER NNW THIS
AFTERNOON AND INCREASE. AS THIS OCCURS...INITIAL BATCH OF ENHANCED
SNOWFALL NOW MOVING THROUGH NW LOWER MICHIGAN SHOULD GET SHOVED
INLAND AND WEAKEN OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS...FOLLOWED BY A TRANSITION
TO MORE THE TRADITIONAL NNW LAKE EFFECT BANDS. QUESTION IS...WILL
THERE BE ENOUGH ACCUMULATION IN TOTAL TO WARRANT ANY HEADLINES IN
THE SHORT TERM. GIVEN THE EXPECTED TRANSITION TO NNW FLOW...THIS
SHOULD FOCUS AFTERNOON ACCUMULATIONS FURTHER SOUTH AROUND THE
TRAVERSE CITY/KALKASKA AREA...AND POINTS SOUTH. SO WITH THAT IN MIND
WILL NOT ISSUE ANY HEADLINES JUST YET. WILL SEE HOW THINGS SHAKE OUT
THIS AFTERNOON AND HEADLINES FOR TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY ARE STILL A
POSSIBILITY.

ADAM

&&

.LONG TERM.../ISSUED AT 655 AM/...TONIGHT AND BEYOND

ALL SORTS OF FUN AND GAMES OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. THE UPPER
LOW NOW OVER QUEBEC WILL SHOOT BACK WESTWARD...AND GET DRAGGED
OVERHEAD FRIDAY EVENING BEFORE LOOPING BACK TO NEW ENGLAND SATURDAY.
THE UPPER LOW WILL SHOVE A BOUNDARY SOUTHWARD ACROSS NORTHERN MI
FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND FRIDAY NIGHT. THE NNE 1000-850MB WINDS BEHIND
THIS BOUNDARY WILL QUIET THINGS A BIT BY SATURDAY. LES TRENDS REMAIN
THE MAIN CONCERN.

MODELS...DIFFERENCES EMERGE BY FRIDAY NIGHT AS TO HOW QUICKLY TO
START TO EJECT THE UPPER LOW TO THE SE. THE GFS IS OVER LAKE ERIE BY
8/06Z...WHILE NAM/12Z ECMWF/21Z SREF STILL HANG BACK OVER NORTHERN
LOWER. PER HPC...A BIG OLE BLEND IS IN ORDER...AT LEAST UNTIL THE
COMPLEX INTERACTION OF VARIOUS SHORTWAVES RESOLVES ITSELF BETTER.

TONIGHT...OUR INITIAL SURFACE LOW WILL HANG AROUND NEAR GEORGIAN
BAY...DEEPENING A BIT TO 992MB. A 2ND LOW WILL MIGRATE RAPIDLY
SOUTHWARD FROM NORTHERN ONTARIO OVERNIGHT...REACHING EASTERN
SUPERIOR AT 994MB OR SO BY MORNING. OUR INITIAL NNW 1000-850MB WINDS
WILL SLOWLY BACK TO THE NW THRU 06Z. THEY WILL BACK FURTHER TO WNW
ON LAKE MI/HURON OVERNIGHT...AND GO ALMOST WEST ON EASTERN UPPER MI
(WITH VERY TIGHT CYCLONIC CURVATURE THANKS TO THE APPROACHING LOW).
850MB TEMPS WILL STABILIZE NEAR -16/-17C.

EASTERN UPPER...AGAIN A PREVAILING NNW FETCH EARLY ON WILL KEEP
THINGS MOSTLY QUIET OUTSIDE OF PARADISE AREA. VERY LATE...1000-850MB
CONVERGENCE INCREASES MARKEDLY AS THE SURFACE LOW APPROACHES FROM
THE NORTH. THIS WILL INCREASE SNOWFALL RATES INTO FAR WESTERN
CHIPPEWA. 2-3 INCHES THERE WILL SUFFICE FOR NOW...BUT THE VAST
MAJORITY OF EASTERN UPPER WILL BE AN INCH OR LESS.

NORTHERN LOWER...REASONABLY VIGOROUS LES STILL EXPECTED...WITH DELTA
T/S 20-22...INVERSION HEIGHTS 6-7K FT...AND INCREASING MOISTURE
ABOVE 750MB (MAINLY OVERNIGHT...AS SYSTEM TO OUR N APPROACHES). THE
SLOWLY BACKING WINDS...FROM NNW TO WNW...WILL TEND TO SPREAD THINGS
OUT A BIT. GIVEN THE BEST SNOWFALL RATES SHOULD BE OVERNIGHT...WHEN
MOISTURE IS DEEPEST...BEST SNOWFALL WILL BE IN THE NW/WNW SNOWBELTS
(MAINLY INSIDE A TVC-GRAYLING-PETOSKEY TRIANGLE). WILL HAVE 1-3 FOR
TVC/CAD AREAS...2-4 KALK/GLR/BOYNE CITY. MINIMAL SNOWFALL EAST OF
I-75. THE MAX AMOUNTS ARE MARGINAL ADVISORY ACCUMS...BUT THERE IS NO
NEED TO ISSUE THAT HEADLINE THIS EARLY.

FRIDAY...UPPER LOW WILL DROP ACROSS EASTERN UPPER AND OVER FAR
NORTHERN LOWER MI. AN ASSOCIATED WNW-ESE ORIENTED SURFACE BOUNDARY
WILL VERY SLOWLY CROSS EASTERN UPPER...EVENTUALLY TAKING ON A W-E
ORIENTATION WHILE REACHING FAR NORTHERN LOWER MI LATE IN THE DAY. A
WAVE WILL BE PRESENT ALONG THIS FRONT...MOST LIKELY JUST WEST OF
EMMET COUNTY AT 00Z. THE COLD CORE LOW WILL LOWER 700MB TEMPS TO
-26/-27C...THAT WILL ALSO BE THE TOP OF THE INVERSION (8-9K FT) FOR
MOST OF THE DAY. OMEGA WILL ALSO BE NICELY ENHANCED IN THE
CONVERGENT AND SHARPLY CYCLONIC FLOW PRESENT UP THRU 500MB.

SO THE THERMODYNAMICS AND LARGE-SCALE KINEMATICS ARE THERE FOR
IMPRESSIVE LAKE ENHANCED SNOW. BUT...BUT...WINDS ARE GOING TO MAKE
THE /WHERE/ PART OF THE EQUATION PROBLEMATIC. WILL LOOK AT
1000-700MB WINDS...GIVEN THE DEEPER CONVECTIVE LAYER.

FOR EASTERN UPPER MI...WITH THE SURFACE LOW LIKELY TRANSITING THE
LUCE/WESTERN MACKINAC CO AREA DURING THE DAY...THE BEST ONSHORE FLOW
WILL OCCUR WEST OF THERE. IN FACT...THERE MAY BE SW FLOW CONCERNS
FOR A TIME INTO MACKINAC COUNTY AROUND MIDDAY (THOUGH THAT IS BRIEF
AND THE FLOW IS VERY WEAK)...AND SE WINDS INTO DETOUR/DRUMMOND LATE
IN THE DAY (SAME WEAK WINDS THOUGH). WILL GIVE MOST OF EASTERN UPPER
MI SNOW...THE BOUNDARY DROPPING THRU SHOULD FOCUS A BAND OF
SHSN...BUT KEEP AMOUNTS GENERALLY ON THE LIGHT SIDE...UP TO 2 IN.

NORTHERN LOWER...INITIAL WNW WILL GO WEST BY MIDDAY THRU THE
AFTERNOON (AND EVEN WSW NEAR LTL TRAV BAY). TOWARD EVENING...A QUICK
VEERING TO NW/NNW IS ANTICIPATED ON LAKE MI (WHILE SOUTHERLY ON
HURON). MEAN 1000-700MB WINDS WILL WEAKEN TO 10KT OR LESS IN THE
AFTERNOON. ACCUMULATING SNOW WILL OCCUR OVER ALL OF NW LOWER...WITH
THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS IN LEELANAU/ANTRIM/CHARLEVOIX/SOUTHERN EMMET...
WHICH WILL BENEFIT FROM THE LONGEST FETCH WILL OCCUR FOR THE LONGEST
TIME. 2-3 INCHES NEAR AND SOUTH OF M-72 AND WEST OF I-75...3-5 TO
THE NORTH (BUT SOUTH OF PLN). IN NE LOWER MI...THE SYNOPTIC FORCING
STILL JUSTIFIES NMRS SHSN AND LOCAL 1-2 INCH ACCUMS.

FRIDAY NIGHT/SATURDAY...UPPER LOW WILL PROCEED TO SOUTHERN LAKE
HURON FRI NIGHT...AND TO PA ON SATURDAY. THE SURFACE BOUNDARY WILL
PROCEED JUST SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA FRIDAY NIGHT...THEN HANG OUT
IN CENTRAL LOWER MI ON SATURDAY. THE CONVOLUTED AND HIGHLY CYCLONIC
LOW LEVEL WINDS PRESENT EARLY FRIDAY NIGHT...WILL GIVE WAY TO
NE-ERLY WINDS BY SAT MORNING...AND BACK TO THE NORTH DURING THE DAY.

EASTERN UPPER...A DRYING TREND SHOULD TAKE HOLD FRI NIGHT...AS
SYNOPTIC SUPPORT EXITS SOUTH AND NE WINDS ARE NO HELP. NO MORE THAN
CHANCE POPS NEEDED FOR LATE FRIDAY NIGHT THRU SATURDAY...THOUGH
THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH MID/HIGH CLOUDS TO PRECLUDE MUCH CHANCE OF
SUNSHINE UNTIL MAYBE LATE SATURDAY.

NORTHERN LOWER...THE AIRMASS WILL CONTINUE TO MODERATE A BIT...AS A
TOUCH OF ATLANTIC AIR GETS DRAWN IN. 850MB TEMPS WILL WARM TO AROUND
13C...DECREASING DELTA T/S TO THE UPPER TEENS. THAT/S STILL PLENTY
FOR LES. THE PASSING BOUNDARY FRIDAY NIGHT WILL FAVOR HIGHER POPS
ACROSS THE REGION...BUT FOR THE MOST PART UNFAVORABLE WINDS WILL
LIMIT ACCUMS. 1-2/1-3 INCHES SEEMS REASONABLE FOR APN/ROGERS
CITY...AND FOR LEELANAU DOWN TO MANISTEE...LESS ELSEWHERE. THESE
AREAS WILL AGAIN BE THE MAIN FOCUS SATURDAY...THOUGH THE BETTER
ACCUMS WILL EXTEND FURTHER DOWN THE HURON COAST TOWARD OSC. STILL...
A COUPLE OF INCHES ONLY GIVEN THE LACK OF SYNOPTIC SUPPORT. WILL
HAVE LESS SNOW IN THE INTERIOR ON SATURDAY...THOUGH NOT MUCH IN THE
WAY OF SUN.
