AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
1245 AM EST FRI FEB 11 2011

UPDATED FOR 06Z AVIATION DISCUSSION

.SHORT TERM (THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY)...

WEAK SFC RIDGING IS RESULTING IN WSW WINDS OVER W LAKE SUPERIOR AND
WNW OVER E LAKE SUPERIOR. WINDS COMBINED WITH 850MB TEMPS NEAR -22C
IS CAUSING LES OVER THE KEWEENAW PENINSULA AND NEAR WHITEFISH POINT.
ELSEWHERE...DRY AIR LEFT CLEAR SKIES FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL VISIT TO
MARQUETTE TODAY...ALTHOUGH CURRENT TEMPS ARE ONLY IN THE UPPER
SINGLE DIGITS AND LOW TEENS ABOVE ZERO.

TONIGHT...TEMPS LAST NIGHT FELL TO A VERY CHILLY -21 NEAR
WATERSMEET...WITH 1000-500MB THICKNESS WAS AROUND 500DAM WITH FAIRLY
LIGHT SFC WINDS. THICKNESS VALUES TONIGHT ARE EXPECTED TO BE AROUND
512DAM WITH SIMILAR WIND SPEEDS FEWER CLOUDS...SO TEMPERATURES
SHOULD BE COMPARABLE. LES SHOULD CONTINUE OVER THE KEWEENAW
PENINSULA AND E LAKE SUPERIOR AS WESTERLY WINDS PREVAIL.

FRIDAY...AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE FROM CENTRAL
CANADA TO W LAKE SUPERIOR BY 00Z SAT. THE SFC TROUGH WILL MOVE OVER
THE CENTRAL CWA BY 00Z SAT. SW WINDS AHEAD OF THE TROUGH FRI MORNING
WILL KEEP MOST OF THE LES OFF SHORE UNTIL THE TROUGH MOVES IN AND
MORE WESTERLY WINDS ARE REALIZED. OVERALL FORCING AND MOISTURE IS
NOT THAT IMPRESSIVE AND MODELS ARE STRUGGLING TO EVEN HAVE 0.01
INCHES QPF SATURDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. KEPT POPS LOW EXCEPT OVER THE
KEWEENAW AND E LAKE SUPERIOR WHERE LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL BE ENHANCED
BY THE SYNOPTIC SYSTEM.

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...

TROF OVER MUCH OF THE ERN 1/2 OF NAMERICA TROF WILL SHIFT E FRI
NIGHT INTO SAT ALLOWING FOR WEAK RDGG TO MOVE IN FROM THE WEST.
DRYING AND SUBSIDENCE WILL BRING DRY CONDITIONS OVER INLAND AREAS
FRI NIGHT INTO SAT MORNING. CONTINUED NW FLOW AND 850 MB TEMPS OF
-16 TO -18C WILL KEEP LES GOING OVER NW COUNTIES AND ALGER-LUCE AND
NRN SCHOOLCRAFT ALTHOUGH LOWERING INVERSION HGTS AND DRYING WILL
KEEP ACCUMULATIONS GENERALLY UNDER 2 INCHES.

NEXT SHORTWAVE IN ZONAL WNW FLOW WILL APPROACH THE UPPER GREAT LAKES
SAT AFTERNOON. INCREASING 285K-290K WAA/ISENTROPIC ASCENT WILL
RESULT IN A BETTER CHC FOR SNOW LATE SAT AFTERNOON INTO SAT NIGHT
MODELS INDICATE LIFT INITALLY WILL GO INTO MOISTENING COLUMN. KEPT
HIGHER CHC POPS ON SAT AFTERNOON OVER WI BORDER COUNTIES AND THEN
BROUGHT HIGH CHC TO LIKELY POPS INTO ERN COUNTIES SAT NIGHT AS LIFT
AND MOISTURE SPREAD EAST. WITH MIXING RATIOS AROUND 2G/KG ON THE
285-290K SFC AND AROUND 6HRS OF ASCENT...A QUICK 1-2 INCHES OF SNOW
WOULD BE POSSIBLE.

ANOTHER SHORTWAVE MOVES THROUGH ON SUN...PROVIDING ANOTHER
OPPORTUNITY FOR -SN. STEEP MIDLEVEL LAPSE RATES OF GREATER THAN 7C
ARE PRESENT HICH COULD PROVIDE A LITTLE CONVECTIVE NATURE TO THE
SNOW.

COLD ADVECTION IN A NNW FLOW BEHIND SUNDAY/S SHORTWAVE SHOULD ALLOW
FOR SOME SCT LES SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MORNING FOR COUNTIES DOWNWIND OF
LAKE SUPERIOR ACROSS NRN COUNTIES.

BROAD RDGG MOVES IN OVER THE WRN GREAT LAKES BY MON NIGHT WITH
GENERALLY DRY CONDITIONS AND A WARMUP TO ABV NORMAL TEMPS BY
MIDWEEK. TRENDED TOWARD THE HIGHER END OF GUIDANCE FOR MIDWEEK AS
MODELS INDICATE 850 MB THERMAL RIDGE WITH 10C TEMPS OVERHEAD. MAX
TEMPS IN THE 40S ARE CERTAINLY POSSIBLE BY WEDNESDAY ACROSS PORTIONS
OF THE CWA.

&&

.AVIATION (FOR THE 06Z TAF ISSUANCE)...

AT CMX...MVFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH EARLY MORNING AS LAKE
EFFECT CLOUDS WITH A BAND CONTINUES TO AFFECT THE AREA. LAKE EFFECT
WILL GET PUSHED BACK OUT LATE OVERNIGHT AS SW WINDS AGAIN PUSH IT
NORTH OF THE TAF SITE. LOWER CIGS TOWARD THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD
AS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE MOVES IN WITH APPROACHING TROUGH. AS COLD
FRONT MOVES THROUGH FRI EVENING...IFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED WITH
BLOWING SNOW AND SNOWSHOWERS. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF WORSE
VISIBILITIES AND LOWER CIGS OCCUR WITH THESE HIGHER WINDS...BUT
CONFIDENCE IS LOW RIGHT NOW AS TO HOW MUCH SNOW IS GOING TO BE BLOWN
AROUND AND THERE WILL BE AT LEAST 3 MORE TAF ISSUANCES TO FIGURE
THAT OUT.

AT SAW...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED UNTIL LATE FRI EVENING WHEN A COLD
FRONT COMES THROUGH AND BRINGS GUSTY WINDS AND AN MVFR DECK WITH IT.

&&

.MARINE (FOR 4 PM LAKE SUPERIOR FORECAST ISSUANCE)...

WINDS WILL DECREASE THROUGH TONIGHT AS A WEAK RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE
APPROACHES THE AREA. WINDS WILL THEN INCREASE AGAIN ON FRIDAY AS A
TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES THE AREA. WINDS MAY GUSTS UP TO 24
KTS OVER NORTH CENTRAL LAKE SUPERIOR FRIDAY NIGHT BEFORE WEAKENING
ON SATURDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES INTO THE AREA. A LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM WILL THEN MOVE OVER SUNDAY MORNING...LEAVING A TROUGH OVER
THE AREA THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL THEN MOVE
OVER LATE MONDAY...BEFORE LOW PRESSURE BEGINS TO MOVE INTO THE
REGION.
