AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
1045 PM EST TUE DEC 13 2011

.SYNOPSIS.../ISSUED AT 335 PM/

ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE INTO EARLY THURSDAY...THANKS
TO HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS CENTERED OVER THE EASTERN ONE THIRD OF THE
COUNTRY. A STRENGTHENING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE ACROSS
WISCONSIN AND UPPER MICHIGAN WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING
RAIN BEGINNING ON WEDNESDAY. PRECIPITATION WILL TRANSITION TO LIGHT
LAKE EFFECT SNOW ON THURSDAY AS COLDER AIR MOVES IN BEHIND THE
DEPARTING SYSTEM.

&&

.SHORT TERM.../ISSUED AT 1025 PM/...TONIGHT

JUST LIKE LAST NIGHT WE HAVE A WEAK BAROCLINIC ZONE OVER THE
FORECAST AREA. TEMPERATURES HAVE BOTTOMED OUT FOR THE MOST PART
WITH THE MOISTURE HOLDING STEADY IN THE LOWER 30S FOR THE
DEWPOINTS. THERE MAY BE SOME BOUNCING AROUND FOR THE HOURLY
TEMPERATURES, BUT FOR THE MOST PART THEY AREN'T GOING VERY FAR
FROM WHERE THEY ARE NOW. A LOT OF THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE NEST
SYSTEM OFF TO THE SOUTHWEST OF THE REGION. THE
SOUTHERLY/SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW IS BEGINNING TO WORK ITS WAY INTO THE
FORECAST AREA AND WILL BEGIN TO HOLD THE TEMPERATURE STEADY OR
CAUSE THEM TO RISE OVERNIGHT. CAN PATCHY FREEZING DRIZZLE BE RULED
OUT? NOT ENTIRELY, BUT LOOKING AT THE CURRENT TEMPERATURES AND
THE TRENDS, THERE COULD BE ISOLATED PATCHY THAT WOULD FREEZE FOR A
SHORT TIME, BEFORE THE WARMER AIR MOVES INTO THE REGION WHICH IS
EXPECTED AFTER 06Z. SO WILL MAKE SOME MINOR ADJUSTMENTS IN THE
WEATHER GRIDS, BUT FOR THE MOST PART, WILL LEAVE THE GOING
FORECAST AS THINGS SEEM TO BE WORKING OUT.

JSL

&&

.LONG TERM.../ISSUED AT 335 PM/...WEDNESDAY AND BEYOND

WEDNESDAY...THE BRIEF PERIOD OF DRIZZLE WILL LIFT NORTHWARD
THROUGH THE MORNING WHILE MORE SUBSTANTIAL STEADIER RAINS WILL
DEVELOP IN ITS WAKE...AS LOW PRESSURE LIFTS INTO THE WESTERN GREAT
LAKES. THIS CAUSED BY WHILE STOUT H8 LLJ DIRECTING +3C TO +5C H8
TD'S UP OVER TIGHTENING LOW LEVEL BAROCLINICITY/WARM FRONT.
COMBINED WITH RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF H4-H2 UPPER JET...THE
ATMOSPHERIC COLUMN SATURATES...AND MORE PERSISTENT MODERATE RAINS
WILL DEVELOP THROUGH THE DAY. DOWNSLOPING AREAS WILL LIKELY
RECEIVE LESS QPF...AS WELL AS EASTERN UPPER DUE TO LATER ARRIVAL
OF FORCING...BUT EVEN DESPITE INITIALLY DRY MID LEVELS...PWATS
APPROACHING 1.00" OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO SQUEEZE OUT AROUND A FEW
TENTHS OF AN INCH SOUTH...TO NEAR A TENTH NORTH.

SMD

LATER PERIODS...

HIGH IMPACT WEATHER POTENTIAL...LAKE EFFECT SNOWS BEGINNING LATE
THURSDAY AND LASTING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO
BRING SOME LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS TO THE AREA.  THIS WILL LIKELY CAUSE
SOME SLICK ROAD CONDITIONS...BUT EXPECT ANY ACCUMULATIONS THROUGH
THE END OF THIS FORECAST PERIOD WILL REMAIN BELOW 6" TOTAL AT ANY
ONE LOCATION.

TELECONNECTIONS...DON/T WAVER TOO FAR FROM WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN THUS
FAR THIS FALL.  THE ARCTIC OSCILLATION CONTINUES TO REMAIN IN THE
POSITIVE...WITH CURRENT DETERMINISTIC/ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE SUGGESTING
THAT IT MAY MAKE A RUN AT NEUTRAL THIS WEEKEND...BUT THEN LIFT BACK
INTO THE POSITIVE CATEGORY.  RECALL THAT OVER THE PAST TWO
MONTHS...FORECASTS OF THE AO TO SWITCH NEGATIVE HAVE CONSISTENTLY
FAILED TO VERIFY...WITH NO REASON TO DEVIATE FROM THIS THINKING
RIGHT NOW.  THE PNA REMAINS SLIGHTLY POSITIVE WITH A POSITIVE /AND
UNWAVERING/ NAO.

WITH LITTLE IN THE WAY OF LARGE SCALE CHANGES...EXPECT THE SPLIT
FLOW PATTERN OVER THE CONUS TO CONTINUE THROUGH THIS FORECAST PERIOD
/AND LIKELY THROUGH MUCH OF THE REMAINDER OF DECEMBER/...WITH
FREQUENT CUT OFF LOWS IN THE SOUTHWESTERN US...AND CHANGEABLE
IMPACTS OF THE NORTHERN STREAM ON OUR WEATHER.

THE PERIOD STARTS RAINY WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS ISENTROPIC ASCENT GIVES
WAY TO AN ARRIVING COLD FRONT DURING THE OVERNIGHT.  MODEL PWATS
SUGGEST MOISTURE COULD REACH NEAR RECORD TERRITORY AROUND 1 INCH
OVERNIGHT. WITH GOOD DYNAMIC SUPPORT...HPC/GUIDANCE CONSENSUS QPF
AMOUNTS OVERNIGHT OF ONE HALF TO TWO THIRDS OF AN INCH LOOK VERY
REASONABLE AND SEE NO REASON TO STRAY FROM THESE. IT WILL BE A MILD
NIGHT INDEED AS OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES CLIMB AHEAD OF COLD FRONT
ARRIVAL WITH SOME COOLING OVER EASTERN UPPER TOWARDS DAYBREAK.
HOURLY RAW/MOS TEMPS SUGGEST TEMPERATURES WARMING FROM AROUND 40
WEDNESDAY EVENING TO THE MID AND PERHAPS UPPER 40S TOWARDS
DAYBREAK.

THE FRONT WILL NOT HAVE CLEARED THE CWA BY DAYBREAK...SO WILL UP
POPS OVER SOUTHEASTERN AREAS FOR THE MORNING HOURS.  OTHERWISE...
BIGGEST QUESTIONS FOR THURSDAY WILL BE LINGERING PRECIPITATION
CHANCES AND WHEN THE COLUMN WILL COOL SUFFICIENTLY FOR A CHANGEOVER
TO SNOW.  MODEL VERTICAL PROFILES SUGGEST THAT IT WILL TAKE MOST OF
THE DAY FOR THIS TO OCCUR...WITH ANY LAKE RESPONSE REALLY NOT
GETTING GOING UNTIL VERY LATE IN THE DAY AS DELTA T/S DON/T CROSS
THE 13C THRESHOLD UNTIL ABOUT 21 UTC.  WILL CONTINUE LIKELY POPS IN
THE AFTERNOON FOR NORTHWESTERLY FLOW SNOWBELTS /WESTERN CHIP...AND
THE BIG 5 IN NORTHERN LOWER/ BUT KEEP PRECIPITATION AS A MIX UNTIL
EVENING.  RIGHT NOW WOULD EXPECT ANY TRAVEL IMPACTS TO HOLD OFF
UNTIL THURSDAY NIGHT.

BEST CHANCE FOR SOME ACCUMULATING LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL COME
THURSDAY NIGHT AS SECONDARY SHORTWAVE PUSHES THROUGH THE REGION
UNDER CYCLONIC FLOW AND DELTA T/S REACHING THE UPPER TEENS.
SYNOPTIC MOISTURE PEELS OUT RAPIDLY...HOWEVER...SO THE WINDOW FOR
GOOD SNOWS IS SMALL.  RIGHT NOW...EXPECT THAT LATE THURSDAY EVENING
WE/LL SEE ABOUT A 6-8 HOUR PERIOD OF POTENTIALLY DECENT
ACCUMULATIONS WITH A MIXED LAYER FLOW AROUND 330 DEGREES...WITH THE
FLOW VEERING MORE AFTER MIDNIGHT.  A 1-3 /4?/ INCH SNOWFALL LOOKS
POSSIBLE AT THIS TIME...MOST LIKELY IMPACTING ANTRIM AND NORTHERN
KALKASKA COUNTIES...WITH LESSER AMOUNTS SURROUNDING THIS.  DESPITE
THE MUCH COOLER AIRMASS...WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES A LITTLE ABOVE
GUIDANCE WITH CLOUD COVER THROUGH THE NIGHT SUGGESTING THAT TEMPS
WILL HAVE TROUBLE DROPPING MUCH MORE THAN INTO THE MIDDLE 20S /LOWER
20S OVER EASTERN UPPER/.

WITH HIGH PRESSURE STRENGTHENING IT/S INFLUENCE OVER THE REGION ON
FRIDAY...EXPECT ANY RESIDUAL LAKE EFFECT TO BE WEAK FOR THE DAY
FRIDAY...BUT LIKELY STILL ONGOING GIVEN DELTA T/S IN THE UPPER TEENS
UNDER WEST NORTHWEST FLOW.  T92S WILL RANGE FROM THE MINUS TEENS
OVER EASTERN UPPER TO AROUND -8 NEAR M-55 SUGGESTING A HIGH
TEMPERATURE RANGE FROM THE MID 20S NORTH TO AROUND FREEZING OVER THE
SOUTH.  IT WILL CERTAINLY FEEL CHILLY GIVEN THE RECENT STRETCH OF
WARM WEATHER...AND THE AFOREMENTIONED WINDS WHICH WILL REACH
10-15MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...

NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVES WILL DOMINATE FORECAST CONCERNS THROUGH
JUST ABOUT THE END OF THE PERIOD BEFORE THE NEXT SOUTHWESTERN CONUS
CUTOFF LIFTS NORTH AND EAST AND BRINGS /POTENTIALLY/ THE NEXT
MOISTURE-LADEN SYSTEM.

WILL CONTINUE LIKELY POPS FOR WEST NORTHWEST FLOW AREAS FRIDAY NIGHT
AS SHORTWAVE TROUGH AXIS BRINGS A RENEWED SHOT OF MOISTURE WITH
TEMPERATURES CONTINUING TO SUPPORT A LAKE RESPONSE.  NOT A TERRIFIC
SETUP WITH WEAK WIND FIELDS AND DEPRESSED INVERSION HEIGHTS...BUT
THE LIGHT SNOWS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE.

NEXT NORTHERN STREAM SYSTEM ARRIVES LATE SATURDAY BUT A CONSENSUS
/AND WELL AGREED UPON/ LOW TRACK NORTH OF ANJ SUPPORTS VERY LITTLE
IN THE WAY OF SYNOPTIC PRECIPITATION FOR MUCH OF THE AREA.  FOR
SATURDAY AFTERNOON...COULD SEE SOME LAKE ENHANCEMENT OVER EASTERN
UPPER AS DYNAMIC SUPPORT IMPROVES AND DELTA T/S CONTINUE IN THE MID
TEENS...DESPITE THE WARMING TEMPERATURES ALOFT.  SATURDAY
NIGHT...WILL PAINT HIGHEST CHANCES OVER NORTHERN AREAS...BUT STILL
KEEP ALL AREAS BASICALLY IN LOW CHANCE POPS.

WILL LIKELY GET ANOTHER RESPITE SUNDAY/SUNDAY NIGHT WITH PERHAPS
SOME LINGERING LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS FROM THE TIP OF THE MITT
NORTHWARD BEFORE WARM ADVECTION SHOULD SHUT THINGS OFF.  TEMPS LOOK
TO WARM NICELY BY AFTERNOON SUNDAY WITH T92 AROUND -4C EASILY
SUGGESTING MID TO PERHAPS UPPER 30S.

AS WE HEAD INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...THE NEXT SOUTHWESTERN CONUS CUTOFF
WILL EJECT NORTH AND EAST. CLEARLY...THIS WILL BE OUR NEXT CHANCE
FOR SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION WITH THE RENEWED INFLUENCE OF THE
MOIST SOUTHERN STREAM.  MODELS ARE ALL OVER THE MAP AT THIS POINT
WITH A COMPLEX INTERACTION OF NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVES WITH THE
EJECTING ENERGY FROM THE SOUTHWEST.  THE 12Z ECMWF CERTAINLY PAINTS
A SNOWY STORY BY TUESDAY...WITH THE 12Z GFS /AND THE OLD 00Z ECMWF/
MAINTAINING A SUPPRESSED STORM TRACK WITH LITTLE NORTHERN STREAM
PHASING.  THE 12Z GEFS SUGGESTS SIGNIFICANT SPREAD...WITH STORM
TRACKS RANGING FROM OVERHEAD TO THE FAR SOUTHEASTERN STATES.
GUIDANCE CONSENSUS UP TO THIS POINT HAS BEEN DRY AND WILL NOT JUMP
ON THE NEW ECMWF WITH TODAY/S PACKAGE.  I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED
WITH A NORTHERLY SHIFT FROM THE GFS...HOWEVER...GIVEN THE
PREDOMINATE LA-NINA STORM TRACK THAT HAS BEEN FAVORED SO FAR THIS
LATE FALL.  WE/RE A LONG WAYS OUT...AND GIVEN THE COMPLEX
INTERACTION MENTIONED ABOVE...EXPECT MANY MORE SHIFTS IN THE
GUIDANCE BEFORE THIS PART OF THE FORECAST BECOMES CLEAR. CERTAINLY
SOMETHING TO KEEP AN EYE ON THOUGH.

.MARINE.../ISSUED AT 335 PM/

LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS WILL GRADUALLY BECOME MORE OUT OF A
GENERAL SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST DIRECTION HEADING THROUGH
TONIGHT...ONLY TO BE SHARPENED OUT OF THE SE WEDNESDAY WITH THE
APPROACH OF A WARM FRONT. THESE SE WINDS WILL INCREASE THROUGH THE
DAY WITH SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WINDS DEVELOPING AND EVENTUALLY
CHOPPY WAVES...LASTING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...WITH SOME
NEARSHORE SEEING CHOPPY WAVES INTO FRIDAY. HEADLINES HAVE BEEN
POSTED. EXPECT DRIZZLE AND LIGHT RAIN DEVELOPING
WEDNESDAY...PICKING UP IN INTENSITY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

SMD

.AVIATION.../ISSUED AT 639 PM/...VALID FOR 00Z TAFS

MUCH LIKE LAST NIGHT, THERE IS A RATHER WEAKLY DEFINED FRONT THAT
IS STATIONARY THROUGH THE STRAITS AREA. THIS IS WHERE THE LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE IS FOCUSED AS THE TIP OF THE MITT (AND PLN) NORTH
HAVE IFR CIGS. SOUTH OF PLN, AT THE OTHER TAF SITES, VFR CIGS WILL
BE IN PLACE AT THIS POINT, BUT WITH THE SYSTEM TO THE SW OF THE
FORECAST AREA MOVES TOWARDS US, THE LOWER CIGS IN CENTRAL PLAINS
WILL BEGIN TO FILL IN UNDER THE MID CLOUDS THAT WE HAVE NOW. RAIN
WILL MOVE IN DURING THE MORNING AND SPREAD ACROSS NORTHERN
MICHIGAN DURING THE DAY.
