AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI
403 AM EST WED FEB 2 2011

.SHORT TERM...TODAY

A SLOWLY WEAKING BUT STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS TRACKING THROUGH
THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES EARLY THIS MORNING. WINDS HAVE BECOME
RELATIVELY LIGHT ACROSS THE SOUTHERN 4 COUNTIES AS A RESULT OF THE
BAGGY LOW TRACKING ACROSS NORTHERN OHIO. THE DRY SLOW ASSOCIATED
WITH THIS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS TRACKING INTO THESE COUNTIES AS
SNOW MIXES WITH SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN. BUFKIT SOUNDINGS SHOW THIS
DRY AIR MAINTAINING THIS MIXY PRECIPITATION THROUGH THE MORNING
HOURS AS THE DRY AIR CUTS OFF SNOW DENDRITE PRODUCTION. ONCE THE LOW
PASSES TO THE EAST OF THE AREA WINDS WILL PICK BACK UP CREATING SNOW
AND BLOWING SNOW...HOWEVER GUSTS ARE ONLY EXPECTED TO PICK BACK UP
TO 20 TO 25 MPH. SINCE THESE COUNTIES ARE NOT EXPECTED TO REACH
BLIZZARD CONDITIONS AGAIN THIS MORNING WILL DOWNGRADE THE BLIZZARD
WARNING TO A WINTER STORM WARNING THROUGH NOON GIVEN THE CONTINUED
SIGNIFICANT IMPACT OF THE PREVIOUS SNOW AND SLEET THAT FELL
OVERNIGHT. LOCATIONS IN THE WINTER STORM WARNING COULD SEE AN
ADDITIONAL 1 TO 3 INCHES OF SNOW THIS MORNING...WITH SLEET AND
FREEZING RAIN CUTTING INTO THE PROJECTED ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATIONS.

FURTHER NORTH MANY LOCATIONS ARE EXPERIENCING BLIZZARD CONDITIONS AS
HEAVY SNOW AND WINDS GUSTING TO 40 MPH ARE CAUSING WHITE OUT
CONDITIONS. WITH THE LOW TRACKING CLOSE TO THE REGION WIND GUSTS ARE
CURRENTLY BECOMING A BIT LIGHTER...HOWEVER WINDS WILL PICK BACK UP
AS THE LOW MOVES EAST AND THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS ONCE AGAIN.
MANY LOCATIONS HAVE ALSO HAD THUNDERSNOW WHICH HAS BOOSTED SNOWFALL
TOTALS ACROSS THE AREA. THE DRY SLOT MAY KEEP SNOWFALL AMOUNTS DOWN
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE BLIZZARD WARNING...HOWEVER AREAS
ACROSS THE NORTH WILL SEE SEVERAL MORE HOURS OF HEAVY SNOWFALL THIS
MORNING AS THE DEFORMATION AXIS SETS UP ACROSS THE SAGINAW VALLEY
AND NORTHERN THUMB. AREAS ACROSS THE NORTH STAND TO SEE AN
ADDITIONAL 4 TO 7 INCHES THIS MORNING...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTH
WHERE THE DRY SLOW WILL HAVE LESS OF AN IMPACT. WITH THE CONTINUED
BLIZZARD CONDITIONS FOR MUCH OF THE MORNING WILL CONTINUE THE
BLIZZARD WARNING FOR THE REST OF THE CWA THROUGH NOON.

CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE DRASTICALLY THIS AFTERNOON AS THE LOW TRACKS
TOWARDS EASTERN NEW YORK AND THE PRESSURE GRADIENTS BECOMES LOOSER
ACROSS THE CWA. A TROUGH AND WRAP AROUND MOISTURE WILL STILL EXIST
ACROSS THE AREA WITH WINDS OF 20 TO 25 MPH STILL PRODUCING A FAIR
AMOUNT OF BLOWING SNOW. ONCE THE WORST OF THE STORM IS OVER AND THE
AREA FALLS BELOW WARNING CRITERIA ADVISORIES MAY BE NEEDED THIS
AFTERNOON FOR THE CONTINUED SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW ACROSS SOUTHEAST
MICHIGAN.

&&

.LONG TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY

FORECAST FOR TONIGHT IS DRY OUTSIDE OF A CHANCE FOR A FEW LAKE
EFFECT SHOWERS THIS EVENING ACROSS THE THUMB. MODEL FORECAST
SOUNDINGS FROM OVER LAKE HURON SHOW INVERSION HEIGHTS AND MOISTURE
DECREASING DRAMATICALLY THROUGH THE EVENING...WHILE WIND FIELDS ALSO
SHIFT FROM NORTH TO WEST AS HIGH PRESSURE EXPANDS INTO THE AREA FROM
THE SOUTH AND LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES TO EXIT EAST. MIN TEMPERATURES
WILL BECOME CHILLY OVERNIGHT AS SKY COVER DIMINISHES AND AS WINDS
LULL OVERNIGHT. CONTINUED TO UNDERCUT MOS GUIDANCE GIVEN GOOD
RADIATIONAL COOLING SETUP...WITH FORECAST LOWS BETWEEN 0 AND 5 IN
MOST LOCATIONS AND AROUND 10 IN URBAN METRO DETROIT.

A MASSIVE DOME OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD FROM THE GULF COAST INTO
THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT...WHILE UPPER
LEVEL ENERGY DROPS INTO NORTHERN ONTARIO AND HUDSON BAY. THIS WILL
PUSH A WEAK AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ACROSS NORTHERN
CANADA...MAINTAINING A TIGHT SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER LOWER
MICHIGAN AND BRINGING BREEZY CONDITIONS. THE WEATHER WILL REMAIN DRY
THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT WITH SOME CLOUDS DROPPING IN LATE AS THE
LOW TRACKS TO OUR NORTH. HIGHS WILL ONLY REACH ABOUT 20 ON
THURSDAY...BUT GUSTY CONDITIONS WILL HOLD WIND CHILLS IN THE SINGLE
DIGITS.

NEXT COMPACT UPPER LOW LOOKS TO DROP INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST FRIDAY
NIGHT...THEN OPEN UP AND MIGRATE SLOWLY EAST ACROSS THE CENTRAL
GREAT LAKES SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. THIS WILL PROVIDE A CHANCE FOR
LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS AND ONLY LIGHT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS IF ANY.
OCCASIONAL MODEL RUNS HAVE BROUGHT A LOW TRACKING UP THE EAST COAST
CLOSE ENOUGH FOR THE PRECIPITATION SHIELD TO JUST BRUSH FAR
SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN...AND WILL KEEP AN EYE ON THIS. A FEW EARLIER
MODEL RUNS YESTERDAY HAD SHOWN MORE OF AN IMPACT...BUT MODELS HAVE
SINCE BECOME MORE PRONOUNCED WITH NORTHERN STREAM ENERGY FROM CANADA
AND LONGWAVE TROUGHING OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS...AND BETTER DEFLECT
THIS SYSTEM AWAY FROM THE AREA.

ONLY ITEM OF CONCERN AT THIS POINT IN THE EXTENDED FORECAST IS THE
EVOLUTION AND TRACK OF AN EARLY WEEK WINTER STORM SYSTEM THAT WILL
AFFECT EITHER THE GREAT LAKES OR EAST COAST. THIS WILL DEPEND ON THE
PHASING OF BOTH AN UPPER SHORTWAVE ROTATING AROUND THE HUDSON BAY
VORTEX...AND AN ANOTHER SHORTWAVE DROPPING OUT OF THE GULF OF
ALASKA. GFS/EURO DROP BOTH OF THESE FEATURES INTO THE MEAN TROUGH
ALREADY SPANNING MOST OF THE COUNTRY...BUT DIFFER BOTH RUN TO RUN
AND MODEL TO MODEL WITH HOW THEY HANDLE IT BEYOND THAT. LATEST RUNS
OF BOTH GFS AND EURO KEEP THE HEAVIEST SWATH OF SNOW JUST SOUTHEAST
OF LOWER MICHIGAN...BUT WILL MAINTAIN THE LOW CHANCE POPS FOR NOW.

&&

.MARINE...

THE STRONG WINTER STORM SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT NORTHEASTWARD
THROUGH OHIO TODAY REACHING NORTH CENTRAL NEW YORK STATE BY THIS
EVENING. WINDSPEEDS OVERNIGHT HAVE SOLIDLY REACHED GALE FORCE ACROSS
ALL OF THE WATERS OF LAKE HURON. IN FACT...SMALL SCALE FUNNELING AND
CONVERGENCE OF THE NORTHEAST FLOW OVER INNER SAGINAW BAY HAVE LED TO
STORM FORCE WIND GUSTS THE PAST HOUR. WILL GO WITH A SHORT DURATION
STORM WARNING FOR INNER SAGINAW BAY UNTIL THE LATE MORNING. FARTHER
SOUTH...THE GALE WARNING IS IN SOME DOUBT AS MODEL GUIDANCE
CONTINUES TO WEAKEN WIND SPEEDS TRAILING THE LOW PRESSURE CENTER.
GIVEN THAT WINDS REMAIN ELEVATED ACROSS ILLINOIS AND PORTIONS OF
IOWA AND THAT CONDITIONS WILL BE CHARACTERIZED BY COLD AIR
ADVECTION...WILL ALLOW THE GALE WARNING TO CONTINUE ACROSS LAKE ST
CLAIR/MICHIGAN WATERS OF LAKE ERIE TO MONITOR TRENDS.

A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION THURSDAY
MORNING...THEN SLIDING EAST THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK
WEEK...SUPPORTING MODERATE SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 15 TO 20 KNOTS.

&&

.AVIATION...ISSUED 1253 AM EST WED FEB 2 2011

BLIZZARD OR NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS ARE IN PROGRESS AT ALL TERMINAL
SITES AND WILL PERSIST THROUGH MUCH OF THE EARLY MORNING HOURS.
IMPROVEMENT WILL BE NOTICED FIRST AT DETROIT METRO AND CITY AIRPORTS
AS THE DRY SLOT OF THE SYSTEM EVENTUALLY WORKS IN STRONG ENOUGH TO
CUT INTO SNOWFALL RATES. UNTIL THEN, STRONGER CONVECTION WILL
SUPPORT CONTINUED HEAVY SNOW BUT MORE SHOWERY IN NATURE AND WITH
SOME SLEET MIXED IN AT TIMES. FARTHER NORTH, HEAVY SNOW WILL BE
PERSISTENT AND WILL COMBINE WITH NORTHEAST WIND GUSTS NEAR 35 KNOTS
TO MAINTAIN BLIZZARD CONDITIONS THROUGH THE REST OF THE MORNING,
ESPECIALLY BEFORE SUNRISE. DUE TO THE DRY SLOT, TOTAL SNOWFALL
MAY TURN OUT TO BE CLOSER TO THE LOWER END OF THE 7 TO 11 INCH
RANGE AT METRO AIRPORT WITH RATES CUT INTO BY SOME INTERVALS OF
SLEET AND POSSIBLY EVEN FREEZING DRIZZLE, THE LATER OF WHICH IS A
BIT SOON TO ADD TO THE FORECAST BUT WHICH WILL BE MONITORED.
FARTHER NORTH, DOUBLE DIGIT ACCUMS LOOK SOLID TOWARD FLINT AND
MBS.

SNOW WILL BE ON A DIMINISHING TREND ALL AREAS BY LATE MORNING BUT IS
EXPECTED TO LAST INTO THE AFTERNOON IN MORE OF A MVFR FASHION AS
WRAP AROUND MOISTURE PIVOTS THROUGH THE REGION. SOME BLOWING AND
DRIFTING WILL BE MAINTAINED BY GUSTY WIND GRADUALLY SHIFTING
TOWARD THE NORTHWEST BUT EVEN THAT WILL EASE BY LATE IN THE DAY.
