AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
1157 PM EST MON JAN 3 2011

.SYNOPSIS.../ISSUED AT 311 PM/

AN ALBERTA CLIPPER...WILL CROSS THE REGION TONIGHT...RESULTING IN
MORE LIGHT SNOW ACROSS ALL OF NORTHERN MICHIGAN. LAKE EFFECT WILL
BECOME REINVIGORATED...IN THE WAKE OF THIS SYSTEM TUESDAY. THEN
ANOTHER ALBERTA CLIPPER WILL MOVE THROUGH WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY
NIGHT...BRINGING ANOTHER SHOT OF LIGHT SNOW TO ALL OF NORTHERN
MICHIGAN...FOLLOWED BY MORE LAKE EFFECT SNOW THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY.

AJS

&&

.SHORT TERM.../ISSUED AT 1024 PM/...TONIGHT

MASS OF SNOW IS BEGINNING TO INCREASE FOR THE EVENING AS THE NEXT
SHORTWAVE/SFC WAVE MOVES INTO THE FORECAST AREA. SO FAR, THE SNOW
REPORTS HAVE BEEN LIGHT, SO AT THIS POINT, WILL ALLOW THE FORECAST
TO GO AS IS. ALTHOUGH WILL HAVE TO WATCH THE LES BAND THAT IS
FORMING ACROSS LEELANAU COUNTY AS THE WIND DIRECTIONS BEGIN TO
VEER TO THE WEST. ONCE THIS SYSTEM IS THROUGH THE WINDS WILL TURN
MORE TO THE WEST AND THE 850 MB TEMPERATURES WILL FALL OFF.
MOISTURE LOOKS LIKE IT WILL REMAIN AROUND 80% IN THE 850-700 MB
LAYER. SO THIS BLOB OF SNOW WILL BEGIN TO TURN INTO MORE DISCREET
BANDS BY 12Z.

JSL

&&

.LONG TERM.../ISSUED AT 311 PM/...TUESDAY AND BEYOND

...GROWING SNOW PACK THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH NUMEROUS BOUTS OF
LIGHT-MODERATE LAKE EFFECT SNOW AND COLDER THAN NORMAL
TEMPERATURES...

EASTERN NOAM REX BLOCK WILL BE THE CONTROLLING FEATURE THROUGH
NEARLY ALL OF THE LONG TERM FORECAST.  THE SOUTHERN VORTEX WITHIN
THIS BLOCK WILL GRADUALLY SINK SOUTH THROUGH LATE THIS WEEK...AND MAY
MOVE OVERHEAD AS WE HEAD TOWARDS FRIDAY.  ELSEWHERE...LARGE VORTEX
OVER FAR EASTERN ASIA WILL REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH THE PERIOD...AND
OVER TIME WILL GRADUALLY HELP PUMP UP HEIGHTS OVER ALASKA.  AS WE
REACH NEXT WEEKEND...THIS RIDGING OVER ALASKA WILL HELP FORCE
DOWNSTREAM HEIGHT FALLS OVER WESTERN NOAM...WITH THIS DEVELOPING
TROUGHING HELPING ERODE OUR REX BLOCK BY THE END OF THE FORECAST.
GIVEN THE PRESENCE OF THE POLAR VORTEX MENTIONED ABOVE TEMPERATURES
WILL REMAIN AT OR BELOW NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD.  IN ADDITION...
THROUGH AT LEAST FRIDAY...THE LOCATION OF THE POLAR VORTEX NORTH OF
OUR REGION SHOULD ENSURE AN OVER-LAKE TRAJECTORY TO THE FLOW WITH
CONTINUED LAKE EFFECT SHSN.

MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS THROUGH THE PERIOD WILL RESIDE WITH
SHORTWAVES EMBEDDED IN THE FLOW SOUTH OF THE POLAR VORTEX...WHICH
SHOULD HELP BRING SOME ENHANCED PERIODS TO THE CONTINUING LAKE
EFFECT.

FIRST WAVE WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION TONIGHT...AND PULL EAST AS
THIS FORECAST BEGINS ON TUESDAY. THERE WILL BE SOME RESIDUAL LAKE
ENHANCED SYNOPTIC SNOWS TO START THE MORNING...WHICH WILL LIKELY
RESULT IN 1-2 INCHES FROM I-75 WEST.

BY AFTERNOON...THE STAGE WILL BE SET FOR A PERIOD OF PRETTY
FAVORABLE LAKE EFFECT SNOW PARAMETERS.  T700 DROPS BELOW -20C WITH
LAKE INDUCED EQUILIBRIUM LEVELS CLIMBING TO 10KFT IN THE PRESENCE OF
DECENT RESIDUAL MOISTURE ON THE MESOSCALE.  THE DGZ WILL BE
WELL-PLACED AS WELL...SUGGESTING GOOD ACCUMULATION POTENTIAL.  THE
BIGGEST QUESTION WILL BE THE WINDS.  THE NAM KEEPS LOW LEVEL WINDS
SOMEWHAT MORE TRANSIENT THAN THE GFS/GGEM WITH THESE SOURCES OF
GUIDANCE FAVORING A 295 FLOW FOR THE 18Z TUE-06Z WED PERIOD.  THE
LOCAL WRF IS QUITE A BIT MORE BACKED...FAVORING A 280 FLOW...AS IT
FAVORS A STRONGER LLEVEL RESPONSE TO SECONDARY SHORTWAVE THAT
ARRIVES IN THE AFTERNOON. CAN/T DISCOUNT THIS LATTER EVOLUTION...
WHICH SERVES TO LOWER CONFIDENCE IN JUST WHAT AREAS WILL BE MOST
UNDER THE GUN.   FOR THE TUESDAY-TUESDAY NIGHT PERIOD...FULLY EXPECT
ADVISORY LEVEL SNOWFALL SOMEWHERE IN THE BIG 5...WITH MY INITIAL
THOUGHTS BEING THAT CHARLEVOIX/ANTRIM/WESTERN OTSEGO MAY HAVE THE
BEST SHOT.  WITH ONGOING SYNOPTIC SNOWFALL THIS EVENING...AND
CONFIDENCE STILL A LITTLE SHAKY IN THE LLEVEL WIND FIELDS...WILL NOT
ISSUE A HEADLINE THIS AFTERNOON FOR TOMORROW...BUT THINK ONE WILL
LIKELY BE NEEDED AT SOME POINT.

MOISTURE DEPARTS LATE TUESDAY NIGHT WITH BACKING FLOW BEGINNING TO
DEVELOP IN RESPONSE TO NEXT NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE.  THIS SHOULD
SERVE TO WEAKEN ANY REMAINING LAKE EFFECT AND PUSH IT NORTH AFTER
MIDNIGHT WITH LITTLE IF ANY ACCUMULATING SNOWS TOWARDS DAYBREAK.

AFOREMENTIONED SHORTWAVE APPROACHES WEDNESDAY WITH INCREASING QG
SUPPORT FOR ASCENT IN THE PRESENCE OF LOW-MID LEVEL ISENTROPIC
ASCENT.  THIS SHOULD ALLOW FOR A BLOSSOMING AREA OF LIGHT SYNOPTIC
SNOWS TO OVERSPREAD THE REGION DURING THE DAY. GIVEN GOOD GUIDANCE
CONSENSUS AS WELL AS CLIMATOLOGY...WILL UP POPS TO CATEGORICAL OVER
WESTERN AREAS OF NORTHERN LOWER IN THE AFTERNOON WITH LIKELIES IN
MOST OTHER LOCATIONS SAVE THE LAKE HURON COAST WHICH MAY WAIT UNTIL
EVENING TO SEE ANY SNOWFALL.  OTHER QUESTION WILL BE THE POTENTIAL
FOR A SOUTHWEST FLOW LAKE EFFECT SNOW BAND TO DEVELOP AS PARAMETERS
APPEAR FAVORABLE AT THIS JUNCTURE GIVEN SUPPORTIVE T85S AND A
DECENT FETCH OVER NORTHERN LAKE MICHIGAN.   IT/S A LITTLE EARLY TO
PINPOINT A BAND IN THE GRIDS...BUT WILL BE SOMETHING TO WATCH.

SHORTWAVE MOVES EAST OF THE REGION ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH ANOTHER
ONE QUICK ON IT/S HEELS FOR THURSDAY IN AN ATMOSPHERE THAT BECOMES
INCREASINGLY SUPPORTIVE FOR NORTHWEST /OR NORTH NORTHWEST/ FLOW LAKE
EFFECT SNOWS.  THIS SETUP LOOKS PRETTY IMPRESSIVE ON THE
GFS/NAM/SREF WHICH ALL BRING A PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF THE
POLAR VORTEX OVERHEAD...WITH T700S DROPPING INTO THE -20 TO -25C
RANGE WITH LAKE INDUCED EQUILIBRIUM LEVELS NEARING 12KFT.  THE ECMWF
IS NOT AS IMPRESSIVE WITH THIS FEATURE BUT WOULD STILL BE SUPPORTIVE
FOR CONTINUED LAKE EFFECT SHSN.  WILL CONTINUE GOING LIKELY POPS FOR
ALL OF EASTERN UPPER AND MOST OF NORTHERN LOWER...WITH CHIPPEWA
COUNTY AND THE BIG 5 LOOKING TO BE THE MOST LIKELY TO NEED HEADLINES
DOWN THE ROAD. IF THE GFS/NAM/SREF SOLUTION PANS OUT FOR THIS
PERIOD...WARNING LEVEL SNOWFALLS WOULD BE POSSIBLE IN AT LEAST
LOCALIZED SPOTS.  ANOTHER INTERESTING PERIOD WE/LL HAVE TO WATCH.

FOR FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...ALL GUIDANCE POINTS TOWARDS THE POLAR
VORTEX SINKING SOUTH TOWARDS THE AREA TO START THIS PERIOD.  THIS
LOOKS TO SPAWN DECENT CYCLOGENESIS SOMEWHERE OVER THE EASTERN
LAKES...WITH POTENTIALLY MUCH STRONGER CYCLOGENESIS OFF THE MID
ATLANTIC COAST.  WITH SUCH COLD AIR MOVING IN ALOFT BEHIND THIS
DEVELOPING LOW...HAVE LITTLE QUALMS WITH GOING LIKELY POPS FOR THE
NORTHWEST SNOWBELT FOR FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT.  HEADING INTO THE
UPCOMING WEEKEND...AS THE POLAR VORTEX PUSHES EAST TOWARDS THE
NORTHEASTERN CONUS CYCLONE...THE FLOW SHIFTS NORTHERLY RESTRICTING
LAKE EFFECT ACTIVITY CLOSER TO THE LAKE MICHIGAN SHORELINE OVER
NORTHERN LOWER...AND OVER WESTERN PORTIONS OF CHIP/MACK.  WILL
LINGER LAKE EFFECT POPS THROUGH THE END OF THE FORECAST ON MONDAY AS
I FAVOR A SLOWER BREAKDOWN OF THE OVERHEAD REX BLOCK...MORE IN LINE
WITH THE GGEM AND 06Z/12Z GFS AND THE NEW 12Z ECMWF BUT SLIGHTLY
SLOWER THAN THE PREVIOUS 00Z ECMWF...WHICH WOULD HAVE LIKELY SHUT
PRECIP DOWN BY SUNDAY.  COULD SEE A DAY IN THE TEENS FRIDAY IF THE
CORE OF THE COLD AIR ALOFT MOVES OVERHEAD FRIDAY...BUT CONFIDENCE
NOT QUITE HIGH ENOUGH TO DO THIS ON DAY 5...SO WILL PAINT HIGHS
AROUND 20.  GRADUAL MODERATION WILL ENSUE AFTER THIS...BUT HIGHS
WILL LIKELY REMAIN NO HIGHER THAN THE MID 20S THROUGH THE END OF THE
PERIOD. LOWS MOST LIKELY WILL REMAIN IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE
TEENS...BUT AS WE REACH SUNDAY/MONDAY...THE INCREASED LIKELIHOOD OF
A NORTHERLY FLOW REGIME SUGGESTS THAT SOME CLEARING TO THE
CLOUDINESS WOULD BE POSSIBLE...WITH SOME SINGLE DIGITS CERTAINLY NOT
OUT OF THE QUESTION.

ARNOTT

&&

.MARINE.../ISSUED AT 311 PM/

ALL QUIET ON THE MARINE-FRONT THIS EVENING UNDER LIGHT SOUTHERLY
FLOW AHEAD OF APPROACHING LOW PRESSURE WAVE.  NORTHWEST FLOW BEHIND
THIS SYSTEM WILL HELP GENERATE SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS FOR MOST IF
NOT ALL OF THE NEARSHORE WATERS ON TUESDAY WITH WHAT LOOKS LIKE
ANOTHER RESPITE LATE WEDNESDAY-WEDNESDAY NIGHT BEFORE LOW PRESSURE
STRENGTHENING EAST OF THE REGION ON THURSDAY RENEWS CONDITIONS
HAZARDOUS TO SMALL CRAFT. ANY GALE POTENTIAL LOOKS QUITE LOW THROUGH
THE END OF THE WEEK.

ARNOTT

&&

.AVIATION.../ISSUED AT 1143 PM/...VALID FOR 06Z TAFS

AS A WEAK SFC LOW TRACKS ACROSS N LOWER, THE SNOW WILL CONTINUE
UNTIL THE WINDS SHIFT MORE TO THE WEST EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. IN
WHICH CASE, THE FORECAST DIVIDES BETWEEN TVC AND PLN WITH ONE
WEATHER REGIME, AND APN IN THE OTHER.

FOR PLN AND TVC, HAVE EXTENDED THE SNOW OUT FOR A FEW MORE HOURS
AS THE LOW IS TAKING ITS TIME MOVING THROUGH THE REGION. AFTER
12Z, WITH THE WINDS PREDOMINATELY OUT OF THE WEST AND CONTINUING
TO VEER TO THE NW, THE LES BANDS WILL REFORM, SO THAT TVC AND PLN
WILL SEE SOME LAKE EFFECT SNOW DURING THE DAY. WITH THAT THE CASE
THE SITES WILL BE MVFR VSBY MOST OF THE TIME, WITH MVFR TO IFR
CIGS TONIGHT AND TUESDAY.

FOR APN, THE STEADY SNOW IS ON AN UPTICK FOR A BIT, AND THE SNOW
WILL BE SLOW TO LEAVE. HOWEVER, WITH THE NW WIND EXPECTED TO GET
INTO THE REGION BY THE AFTERNOON, THE LAKE BANDS THAT BEGIN TO SET
UP IN NW LOWER WILL HAVE SOME AFFECT IN NE LOWER AS THE BANDS
SWING AROUND. HOWEVER, BY THE EVENING, THERE WILL BE SNOW SHOWERS
IN THE VCNTY AS THE NW FLOW SHOULD KEEP THE SNOW OUT OF APN FOR THE
EVENING.
