.SHORT TERM...(715 PM EST TUE DEC 6 2011)
(TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT)
UPDATED THE GRIDS/FCST TO RAISE POPS FOR SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS
MAINLY SOUTH AND EAST OF AN AZO TO LAN LINE THIS EVENING.
VISIBILITIES HAVE LOWERED TO 2-4 MILES IN THIS AREA RECENTLY AS A
FAST MOVING MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE EMBEDDED IN THE SW FLOW TRAVERSES
THE AREA. THIS WAVE AND ASSOCIATED DEEPER MOISTURE IS EXPECT TO EXIT
BY MIDNIGHT OR SO. EARLIER DISCUSSION FOLLOWS.

THE MAIN CHALLENGE DEALS WITH THE RISK FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW
THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT.  TRENDS SUPPORT INCREASING SNOW
AMOUNTS IN THE FORECAST FOR THAT TIMEFRAME. MOST MODELS SHOW THE
FAST MOVING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM ON THE ARCTIC FRONT IS TAKING A
TRACK FURTHER NORTH...THROUGH LOWER MICHIGAN.  MOISTURE DEEPENS TO
AT LEAST THE -30 DEG C LEVEL AND SOME OMEGA IN THE DGZ ESPECIALLY AS
WE PROGRESS THROUGH THU NIGHT.  DELTA T VALUES INCREASE THROUGH THE
EVENT AND SOME LAKE MOISTURE COULD COME INTO PLAY.  SO FAIRLY
WIDESPREAD LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED. I INCREASED SNOW
AMOUNTS FOR THIS EVENT.  THE TREND NEEDS TO BE MONITORED.

MID LEVEL MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO STREAM IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST
THIS EVENING.  A DRY LAYER WAS SHOWN BELOW THIS LEVEL...UP BETWEEN
4K TO 7K FT.  THERE IS STILL A RISK FOR FLURRIES AS SOME OF THE
PRECIPITATION THAT FALLS OUT OF THIS MID DECK FEEDS INTO THE STRATO
CU DECK CLOSER TO THE GROUND.  WILL MAINTAIN A LOW RISK FOR THE
FLURRIES.

I LOWERED TEMPERATURES ESPECIALLY FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF NIGHTS.
THE ARCTIC AIR COMING DOWN WILL SEND TEMPERATURE DOWN TO WELL BELOW
NORMAL VALUES.  LOOKS LIKE 925 MB TEMPERATURES WILL BE FALLING TO
COLDER THAN -10 DEG C THU NIGHT.

.LONG TERM...(345 PM EST TUE DEC 6 2011)
(FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
MAIN FOCUS OF THE LONG TERM CONTINUES TO BE THE LAKE EFFECT CHCS
INTO SAT. OTHERWISE THE WEATHER LOOKS TO BE RATHER QUIET FOR
DECEMBER STANDARDS IN MICHIGAN.

UPPER TROUGH/PV ANOMALY WILL JUST BE MOVING OVER THE AREA AT THE
BEGINNING OF THE LONG TERM ON FRI MORNING. THIS WILL HELP TO KICK
START LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE AREA. NO MAJOR CHANGES TO
THE THINKING WITH REGARDS TO LAKE EFFECT AS OVER-LAKE INSTABILITY
REMAINS GREAT WITH H850 TEMPS EXPECTED TO BE AROUND -18C OR SO. THE
MAJOR LIMITING FACTOR WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE MOISTURE. MOISTURE IS
NOT EXPECTED TO BE THAT GOOD WITH THE DEPTH REMAINING AROUND ONLY 5K
FEET. THIS WILL PRODUCE SOME ACCUMULATIONS FOR THE FAVORED NWRLY
FLOW LOCATIONS...BUT ACCUMULATIONS SHOULD NOT BE SIGNIFICANT. TEMPS
WILL BE HARD PRESSED TO GET TO 30 ON FRI AND SAT.

THE TROUGH IS NOW EXPECTED TO MOVE OUT BY 12Z SAT...PROVIDING ONLY A
GLANCING BLOW TO THE AREA. RIDGING ALOFT BUILDING IN WILL HELP TO
DIMINISH THE LAKE EFFECT...ALTHOUGH SOME LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS WILL
REMAIN ON SAT WITH GOOD INSTABILITY IN PLACE EARLY. GOOD WARM
ADVECTION WILL THEN OCCUR FOR THE SECOND HALF OF SAT...ELIMINATING
THE INSTABILITY OVER THE LAKE. WE WILL THEN REMAIN DRY FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE WEEKEND AND INTO MOST OF MON AS WE WILL BE IN
BETWEEN THE JET STREAMS. TEMPS WILL MODERATE WELL INTO THE 30S.

A NRN STREAM WAVE WILL PASS BY TO OUR NORTH ON MON NIGHT...AND WILL
HELP TO PUSH A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA. THIS WAVE WILL BE
WEAKENING AS IT SLIDES DOWN THE RIDGE TO OUR WEST. IT WILL NOT HAVE
A GOOD SUPPLY OF MOISTURE EITHER WITH SRN BRANCH OF THE JET KEEPING
GULF MOISTURE LOCKED UP. THIS FRONT WILL PROVIDE A LOW CHC OF SOME
LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS MON NIGHT...WITH IT MOVING OUT BY TUE.

&&

.AVIATION...(1215 AM EST WED DEC 7 2011)
CLOUD BASES OF 2500-3500 FT AGL WERE THE RULE AT 05Z... WITH A
NARROW SLOT OF CLR TO SCT SKIES ALSO SLIDING THROUGH THE REGION.
THIS AREA OF CLEARING LOOKS SHORT LIVED HOWEVER SINCE THERE IS MORE
STRATOCU CLOUDS APPROACHING BEHIND IT FROM THE WEST/SOUTHWEST. THIS
DECK ALSO HAS BASES OF 2500 TO 3500 BUT IS PROGGED TO WORK EAST OF
THE AREA BETWEEN 15Z AND 18Z. WILL THEREFORE HAVE SCT CLOUDS AFTER
THAT...UNTIL THE COLD FRONT BRINGS BKN STRATOCU BACK AROUND/AFTER
00Z FROM THE WEST.

&&

.MARINE...(345 PM EST TUE DEC 6 2011)
WINDS AND WAVES WILL LIKELY BECOME HAZARDOUS TO SMALL CRAFT LATE
TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY AS COLD AIR FLOWS IN FROM THE WEST.  A SURGE
OF ARCTIC AIR ARRIVES FRIDAY AND THAT WILL CAUSE THE  HAZARDOUS
BOATING CONDITIONS TO PERSIST INTO THE WEEKEND.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...(345 PM EST TUE DEC 6 2011)
NO HEAVY PRECIPITATION EVENTS ARE FORECASTED THROUGH THE REMAINDER
OF THE WEEK. THE ELEVATED WATER LEVELS WILL LIKELY RECEDE AS WE GO
THROUGH THE WEEK AS NO ADDED RUNOFF WILL ENTER THE RIVERS.

&&

.GRR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
MI...NONE.
LM...NONE.
