Area forecast discussion, Jan 28, 3:46 AM CST, 7 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DULUTH MN
346 AM CST FRI JAN 28 2011
.DISCUSSION...THROUGH SATURDAY
POTENT CLIPPER WILL BE AFFECTING OUR CWA TODAY INTO
TONIGHT SPREADING SNOW...SOME HEAVY...THROUGH MUCH OF THE
NORTHLAND.
A WELL DEFINED SHORTWAVE SEEN ON WATER VAPOR WAS MOVING SOUTHEAST
THROUGH CENTRAL SASKATCHEWAN. 998MB SURFACE LOW WAS ALSO OVER
CENTRAL SK. WAA WAS ALREADY OCCURRING...WITH LIGHT SNOW FALLING
OVER PARTS OF EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA/NORTHWEST MINNESOTA AS OF 09Z.
FREEZING DRIZZLE OVER PORTIONS OF NORTHWEST WISCONSIN SHOULD BE
OVER AS CLOUD TOP TEMPS HAVE COOLED TO -17C TO -19C. OBSERVATIONS
ALSO SHOWING SNOW.
WE HAVE MADE SOME SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE CURRENT FORECAST
TODAY INTO SATURDAY...MAINLY GOING WITH MORE SNOWFALL.
ALL THE MODELS FORECAST INCREASING FGEN...PARTICULARLY AROUND
925MB...ACROSS NORTHERN MINNESOTA THIS AFTERNOON. GOOD AREA OF Q-VECTOR
CONVERGENCE WILL ALSO PASS NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE CWA
TODAY. AS A RESULT OF EXPECTED LIFT...FGEN...AND SOME WEAK
INSTABILITY...WE EXPANDED THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY TO INCLUDE
MUCH OF OUR CWA TODAY INTO TONIGHT. WE LEFT OUT THE COUNTIES FROM
BURNETT ON WNW TO SOUTHERN CASS. THE SNOW COULD BE HEAVY AT
TIMES...ESPECIALLY THIS AFTERNOON AND ALONG AND NORTH OF HIGHWAY
2. THIS WILL BE DUE TO THE ARRIVAL OF THE SHORTWAVE AND INCREASING
FGEN AS WELL AS THE STRONG LEFT OCCURRING IN THE DGZ. WE HAVE
SNOW TOTALS ON THE HIGHER END OF ADVISORY NORTH OF HIGHWAY 2
TODAY...AND THERE IS A CHANCE AN UPGRADE IN SNOW AMOUNTS MAY BE
NEEDED.
WE UPGRADED THE ADVISORY TO A WARNING FOR LAKE AND COOK COUNTIES
SINCE WE EXPECT HIGHER SNOWFALL THERE DUE TO ONSHORE WINDS AND
SUPPORTIVE LAPSE RATES FOR LAKE EFFECT/ENHANCED SNOWFALL. THE
EFFECT LAKE SUPERIOR WILL HAVE ON SNOW TOTALS IS A REAL CHALLENGE
WITH THIS SYSTEM. THE MODELS ARE ALL A BIT DIFFERENT WITH DELTA-T
VALUES AND LOW LEVEL WIND DIRECTION. WE FEEL MOST CONFIDENT THAT
THE NORTH SHORE WILL SEE HIGHER SNOWFALL DUE TO LAKE EFFECT
PROCESSES. THE SOUTH SHORE INTO THE TWIN PORTS COULD ALSO SEE
HIGHER SNOW TOTALS...ESPECIALLY TONIGHT. THE NAM IS MOST
SUPPORTIVE OF LAKE EFFECT ALONG THE NORTH SHORE...WITH THE GFS AND
ECMWF SHOWING MORE BACKED WINDS PUTTING THE TWIN PORTS AND
PORTIONS OF THE SOUTH SHORE IN THE ZONE FOR BETTER SNOWFALL. LATER
SHIFTS WILL HAVE TO MONITOR LOW LEVEL WINDS AND TEMPS AND ADJUST
ACCORDINGLY.
SNOW WILL DIMINISH AWAY FROM LAKE SUPERIOR TONIGHT...AND WE ENDED
THE ADVISORIES AWAY FROM THE LAKE AT 06Z.
LIGHT SNOW OR FLURRIES WILL LINGER CWA WIDE ON SATURDAY DUE TO
PLENTY OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND CYCLONIC FLOW. WE INCREASED POPS
OVER THE NORTHEAST HALF/TWO THIRDS OF THE CWA DUE TO THE POSITION
OF THE INVERTED TROUGH. MODELS CONTINUE TO OFFER DIFFERENT
SOLUTIONS REGARDING THE LAKE EFFECT SNOW SETUP. NAM SHOWS LOTS OF
SHEAR WITH WEAKER FLOW. PORTIONS OF THE NORTH SHORE AND EASTERN
HALF OF THE SOUTH SHORE BOTH HAVE MEAN ONSHORE WINDS...BUT
DELTA-T'S ARE MARGINAL FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOW. ECMWF FAVORS THE
NORTH SHORE INTO THE TWIN PORTS...AND IS SEVERAL DEGREES COLDER
WHICH WOULD MEAN MORE MEASURABLE SNOWFALL FROM THE TWIN PORTS UP
THE NORTH SHORE. WE HAVE LIKELY POPS ALONG PORTIONS OF THE NORTH
SHORE INTO THE TWIN PORTS AND BAYFIELD PENINSULA...BUT ONLY HAVE
1-3 INCHES OF ADDITIONAL SNOWFALL ON SATURDAY.
.EXTENDED...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY.
THE EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD WILL BE MOSTLY DRY AND COLD ACROSS THE
NORTHLAND AS A LARGE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM FROM CANADA SLOWLY BUILDS
OVER THE PLAINS AND NRN GREAT LAKES REGION. THE MAIN CONCERN DURING
THIS TIME FRAME WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR LAKE EFFECT SNOW. AT FIRST
THE BEST CHANCE FOR LES WILL BE ALONG THE NORTHSHORE SATURDAY NIGHT
DUE TO EAST/NORTHEAST WINDS. AS WINDS BACK OUT OF THE NORTH...ANY
LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL TRANSITION TO THE SOUTHSHORE SUNDAY...AND
REMAIN THERE OR OVER LAKE SUPERIOR THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.
