AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI
647 PM EST MON JAN 31 2011

.UPDATE...

AN UPDATED SET OF GRIDS AND ZFPDTX WILL BE ISSUED WITHIN THE NEXT
HALF HOUR. THIS UPDATE WILL STRICTLY COVER POPS AND SNOW AMOUNTS
IN THE TONIGHT PERIOD. UPSTREAM RADAR RETURNS HAVE BEEN INCREASING
FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF HOURS. THIS REGION OF SNOWFALL IS OCCURRING
WITHIN A DEEP REGION OF FRONTOGENETICAL SUPPORT WITHIN THE EXIT
REGION OF A 130 KNOT UPPER LEVEL JET CORE OVER SOUTHERN QUEBEC.
THE STRONGEST FGEN FORCING OVER SE MI IS EXPECTED TO OCCUR BETWEEN
06Z AND 09Z. MOST OF THE FORCING WILL RESIDE IN THE 850-600MB
LAYER OVER THE AREA. NEAR THE OHIO BORDER HOWEVER...LOWER
TROPOSPHERIC FORCING PARTICULARLY IN THE 925-850MB LAYER IS EXPECTED
TO BE QUITE STRONG...ALBEIT BRIEF. IN LIGHT OF UPSTREAM RETURNS
HOWEVER...WILL INCREASE POPS TONIGHT. THE 18Z MODEL GUIDANCE DOES
NOT INDICATE FORCING PERSISTING OVER ONE AREA TOO LONG. ALTHOUGH THE
SURFACE LAYER OVER SOUTHERN MI IS EXTREMELY DRY...MID LEVEL MOISTURE
ADVECTION DOES BECOME QUITE GOOD TONIGHT...SO SATURATION SHOULD
OCCUR FAIRLY QUICKLY. MID LEVEL STABILITY IS ALSO SHOWN TO DECREASE
OVERNIGHT. THUS...PLAN TO CARRY A GENERAL 1 TO 3 INCH ACCUMULATION
FOR THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE ACROSS LENAWEE AND
MONROE COUNTIES WHERE BETTER MOISTURE/STRONGER LIFT WILL SUPPORT 2
TO 4 INCHES AND WILL WARRANT THE ISSUANCE OF A WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORY.

CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE TO BE CLOSELY MONITORED THROUGH
THE EVENING IN THE EVENT THAT FORCING SHOWS EVIDENCE OF BEING A BIT
MORE PERSISTENT.

&&

.AVIATION...ISSUED 608 PM EST MON JAN 31 2011

REGIONAL RADAR SHOWS SNOW SLOWLY MOVING TOWARD LOWER
MICHIGAN...ASSOCIATED WITH A FRONTAL BOUNDARY ALOFT. THE LOW LEVELS
ARE VERY DRY ACROSS SE MI AS EVIDENT BY SURFACE DEWPOINTS IN THE
SINGLE DIGITS. THE REGION OF FORCING WILL MOVE ACROSS SE MI BETWEEN
03Z AND 12Z. WHILE INITIALLY THE DRY AIR WILL INHIBIT SNOW FROM
REACHING THE GROUND...MODEL SOUNDINGS AND UPSTREAM OBSERVATIONS
INDICATE RAPID LOW LEVEL MOISTENING...WHICH SHOULD ALLOW CONDITIONS
TO QUICKLY FALL TO MVFR AND IFR. THE FORCING IS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN
AROUND 12Z...LEADING TO JUST SOME FLURRIES OR LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS
AFTER. FOR DTW...EVIDENCE IS NOW SUGGESTING NIGHTTIME ACCUMULATIONS
OF 2 TO 3 INCHES POSSIBLE.

NORTHEAST WINDS WILL INCREASE THROUGH THE DAY ON TUESDAY...GUSTING
OVER 20 KNOTS AT TIMES. THE HEAVY WET SNOW ASSOCIATED WITH THE
APPROACHING STORM SYSTEM IS NOT FORECAST TO ARRIVE AT DTW UNTIL 03Z
TO 06Z TUESDAY EVENING.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...ISSUED 353 PM EST MON JAN 31 2011

SHORT TERM...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

LIGHT SNOW IS EXPECTED AFTER MIDNIGHT AS SOME MID LEVEL MOISTURE
MOVES INTO THE GREAT LAKES REGION TONIGHT. RECENT MODEL RUNS ARE
FAIRLY CONSISTENT WITH PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS FOR SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN
WITH LOWER AMOUNTS TOWARDS THE SAGINAW VALLEY AND HIGHER AMOUNTS IN
THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES. THEREFORE...ACCUMULATIONS OF AN INCH ARE
FORECASTED THROUGH MOST OF THE CWA WITH CLOSER TO 2 INCHES IN MONROE
AND LENAWEE COUNTIES. WINDS WILL REMAIN NORTHEASTERLY OVERNIGHT AND
INCREASE SLIGHTLY TO SUSTAINED 10 TO 15 KNOTS AS THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT...ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT WILL IMPACT
THE REGION ON TUESDAY NIGHT...BEGINS TO TIGHTEN ACROSS THE GREAT
LAKES REGION. ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER THROUGH THE NIGHT AND ONGOING
SNOWFALL WILL NOT ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO DROP OFF AS MUCH AS PREVIOUS
NIGHTS GIVEN THE LACK OF SIGNIFICANT COLD OR WARM AIR ADVECTION.

LONG TERM...

WINTER STORM STILL ON TARGET TO IMPACT SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN DURING THE
TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY PERIOD.  LATEST WATER VAPOR AND
UPPER AIR ANALYSIS SHOWING THE MAIN PLAYERS STILL WELL UPSTREAM AND
IN THE ORGANIZING PHASE...WITH A STRONG MID LEVEL PV ANOMALY TIED
WITH BY A 130 KNOT UPPER JET CORE EJECTING EASTWARD ACROSS NORTHERN
MEXICO AND ANCHORED SOUTH OF A DIGGING POSITIVELY TROUGH WORKING
ACROSS THE ROCKIES.  A PERIOD OF STRONGER SURFACE CYCLOGENESIS WILL
COMMENCE IN RESPONSE TO THE PRONOUNCED HEIGHT FALLS/INCREASING LARGE
SCALE ASCENT AS THESE FEATURES EMERGE INTO WILL SOUTHERN PLAINS/
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY.  MODELS CONTINUE TO DISPLAY
STRONG CONSENSUS AND LITTLE RUN TO RUN INCONSISTENCY IN DEPICTING
THIS LARGE SCALE PATTERN EVOLUTION AS IT EVOLVES WITH TIME AND
TRANSLATES DOWNSTREAM INTO TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY.  DESPITE THE
HIGHER DEGREE OF CONFIDENCE THIS PROVIDES...THERE REMAINS SOME ROOM
YET FOR SLIGHT BUT STILL IMPORTANT ADJUSTMENTS AS THE MODELS WORK TO
DEFINE THE EXACT RESPONSE TO THE AFOREMENTIONED UPPER WAVES
INTERACTING EAST OF THE ROCKIES.  IN FACT...THE 12Z NAM GIVES THE
FIRST WOBBLE IN PROVIDING A SLIGHTLY WEAKER/SOUTHERLY SURFACE LOW
TRACK.  THIS ADJUSTMENT HAS AGREEMENT FROM MANY OF THE GFS ENSEMBLE
MEMBERS...ALTHOUGH THE 12Z GFS STILL CARRIES A STRONGER SOLUTION.

CORRIDOR OF STRONG UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION WILL RESIDE ON THE
NORTHERN FLANK OF THE LOW LEVEL CYCLONE AS IT TRACKS THROUGH THE
OHIO VALLEY...TIED TO EXPANDING UPPER DIFFLUENCE...STRENGTHENING MID
LEVEL FGEN FORCING AND A PERIOD OF COUPLED UPPER JET DYNAMICS.
THERE WILL BE NO LACK OF MOISTURE QUALITY AS THIS FORCING ARRIVES
INTO SOUTHERN MICHIGAN THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS...WITH SUSTAINED
MOISTURE TRANSPORT PUSHING SPECIFIC HUMIDITY VALUES INTO THE 3
G/KG.  MOISTURE CONTENT NOT NEARLY AS GOOD NORTH OF I-69...OWING TO
SOME RELUCTANCE OF THE DRY POLAR AIR TO RELEASE NORTHWARD GIVEN THE
POSITION OF THE ANTICYCLONE HOLDING TO THE NORTH.  A WILDCARD STILL
WORTH NOTING WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR CONVECTION TO THE SOUTH TO
INTERRUPT AND/OR SHUNT THE BETTER FEED OF MOISTURE TO THE EAST.
NONETHELESS...STILL PLENTY OF MOISTURE IN THE COLUMN TO ACHIEVE A
HEALTHY ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL AREAWIDE GIVEN THE DEGREE OF FORCING.
THE MAJORITY OF THIS WILL OCCUR BETWEEN ROUGHLY 03Z AND 15Z
OVERNIGHT TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING.

A LOOK AT THE MOISTURE/THERMAL PROFILE REVEALS A LESS THAN
IMPRESSIVE STRUCTURE FOR GOOD DENDRITE GROWTH PRODUCTION.  THE
THERMAL PROFILE CARRIES A TEMPERATURE OF -10C OR WARMER BELOW 600 MB
PER BOTH NAM/GFS MODEL SOUNDINGS...WITH THE ISOTHERMAL LAYER AND
BETTER ASCENT RESIDING BENEATH THE DGZ.  MODEL CROSS SECTIONS DO
DISPLAY A RESPECTABLE DEGREE OF INSTABILITY/LOWER STATIC STABILITY
WITHIN THE SATURATED THETA-E FIELDS...WITH EVIDENCE OF A TIGHTENING
AGEOSTROPHIC CIRCULATION IN RESPONSE TO THE STRENGTHENING MID LEVEL
FGEN.  MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES STEEPEN CONSIDERABLY...AND GIVEN THE
POSITION OF THE IMPINGING DRY SLOT WEDNESDAY MORNING...WOULD NOT BE
SURPRISED TO SEE SOME THUNDER SNOW.  TAKING ALL THIS INTO
ACCOUNT...STILL LOOKING AT A WINDOW OF HIGHER INTENSITY SNOWFALL
/PERIOD OF 1-3 INCH SNOWFALL RATES/...BUT PREFER A SLIGHTLY LOWER
DURATION /6-8 HOURS/ OF HEAVIER SNOW TAKING POSSIBLE MID LEVEL DRY
SLOTTING INTO ACCOUNT.  THIS STILL SUPPORTS CARRYING A GOOD
ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL OF 8-12 INCHES SOUTH OF I-69 AND 7-10 INCHES
SAGINAW VALLEY/NORTHERN THUMB.  DO WANT TO TEMPER EXPECTATIONS IN
SEEING WIDESPREAD ACCUMULATIONS IN EXCESS OF THIS DESPITE SOME RAW
DATA SUGGESTING AS MUCH...GIVEN SOME CONCERNS NOTED ABOVE.  THE
ADJUSTMENT NOTED BY THE NAM TRICKLES DOWN TO A .2-.3" DROP IN TOTAL
MODEL QPF AND A MUCH MORE DEFINED NORTHERN EDGE TO THE PCPN
GRADIENT.  THIS STILL LEAVES SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN WITH A SOLID WINTER
STORM...BUT OVERALL TRENDS PROVIDE ENOUGH DOUBT TO JUSTIFY SCALING
BACK ON THE HIGHER END ACCUMULATION EXPECTATIONS.

OTHER COMPONENT REMAINS THE WIND...AS PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS
CONSIDERABLY IN RESPONSE TO THE FALLING HEIGHTS DOWNSTREAM OF THE
POLAR HIGH ANCHORED OVER CANADA.  THIS WILL CERTAINLY INTRODUCE THE
BLOWING/DRIFTING SNOW ELEMENT AS NORTHEAST WINDS INCREASE TO 15-25
KNOTS.  HOWEVER...WILL SEE THE BETTER PRESSURE FALLS HOLD TO THE
SOUTH...WITH THE LOW FILLING CONSIDERABLY AS IT PASSES OUR
LONGITUDE.  THE ISALLOBARIC COMPONENT RAMPS UP BRIEFLY AS THIS
TRANSITION OCCURS...BUT NOT ENOUGH TO WARRANT AN UPGRADE TO A
BLIZZARD WATCH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...EXPANSIVE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE
JUST OFF THE COAST OF NORTH AMERICA AT THE PRESENT TIME WILL BE
FOLDING OVER AND ATTEMPTING TO BUILD EAST ACROSS THE NORTHERN
ROCKIES/PLAINS. SHORTWAVE TROUGHS DROPPING SOUTHEAST WITHIN THE
PREVAILING NORTHWEST FLOW OVER CENTRAL CANADA WILL TRY TO PREVENT
THE HEIGHT RISES OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION. IN ANY EVENT...VERY
DRY AIRMASS IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN PLACE DURING THE
THURSDAY-FRIDAY TIME FRAME...AS PW VALUES HOVER AROUND 0.10 INCHES
AND 850-700 MB THETA-E TROUGH LINGERS. WITH WARMING 850 MB TEMPS AND
AND SOUTHWEST FLOW...DON'T SEE MUCH OF A RISK OF FLURRIES OR SNOW
SHOWERS THURSDAY-FRIDAY...EXCEPT ACROSS THE FAR NORTH ON FRIDAY WITH
WEAK SHORTWAVE TROUGH/COLD FRONT. 850 MB TEMPS EXPECTED TO START OUT
IN THE NEGATIVE LOWER TEENS WEDNESDAY NIGHT...BUT WARMING TO THE LOW
SINGLE NUMBERS ON FRIDAY. NONE-THE-LESS...WILL HAVE SHALLOW/LINGER
ARCTIC AIRMASS...AND DESPITE THE SUNSHINE EXPECTED...TEMPS ARE
LIKELY TO BE HELD IN THE UPPER TEENS THURSDAY...AND LOWER 20S ON
FRIDAY...AS MINS SHOULD AT LEAST BE IN THE SINGLE NUMBERS...POSSIBLY
BELOW ZERO (ESPECIALLY TOWARD THE OHIO BORDER...CLOSER TO SURFACE
HIGH).

THERE WILL BE A MID LEVEL WAVE/LOW PRESSURE AREA PASSING THROUGH THE
GREAT LAKES AND OHIO VALLEY SATURDAY. MOST OF THIS ENERGY SHOULD
REMAIN SOUTH OF MI...ALLOWING FOR LOW POPS DURING THE WEEKEND. THERE
IS A CLIPPER SYSTEM PROGGED TO DIP SOUTH THROUGH NRN MI LATE SUNDAY
WHICH COULD YIELD SOME SNOW FOR METRO DETROIT. MODELS ARE NOT IN
CONCENSUS AS TO WHAT WILL HAPPEN SUNDAY NIGHT AND ONE SOLUTION IS TO
PHASE THE CLIPPER WITH A LOW EJECTING NORTH OUT OF THE GOM.

MARINE...

LIGHT SNOW AND NORTHEASTERLY WINDS ARE EXPECTED TONIGHT AS SOME MID
LEVEL MOISTURE MOVES INTO THE REGION. THE NEXT SYSTEM TO IMPACT THE
REGION WILL TRACK NORTHEAST THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY LATE TUESDAY
INTO WEDNESDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS WITH
HIGH WAVES AND HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY. HEAVY SNOWFALL CAN ALSO BE
EXPECTED FROM SOUTHERN LAKE HURON TO LAKE ERIE. A GALE WATCH WILL
CONTINUE FOR LAKE HURON SOUTH OF PRESQUE ISLE FOR LATE TUESDAY NIGHT
THROUGH WEDNESDAY. A GALE WATCH IS ALSO IN EFFECT FOR LAKE ST. CLAIR
AND LAKE ERIE ON TUESDAY NIGHT. A HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY WATCH WILL
ALSO CONTINUE FOR LATE TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH THE END OF
