AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
1233 PM EST WED DEC 14 2011

UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION FOR 18Z TAFS

.DISCUSSION...

UPPER AIR PATTERN CONSISTS OF A 500 MB RIDGE ACROSS THE CENTRAL
U.S....TROUGHING IN THE WESTERN U.S. WITH 2 DISTINCT BRANCHES. THE
SOUTHERN BRANCH IS IN THE DESERT SW WITH THE NORTHERN BRANCH HAVING
A TROUGH IN THE NORTHERN ROCKIES. THERE IS ALSO A SHORTWAVE IN
NORTHERN ALBERTA. THE ALBERTA SHORTWAVE AND THE NORTHERN ROCKIES
SHORTWAVE WILL AFFECT THE AREA TODAY INTO THU.

NAM SHOWS SOME 850-500 MB Q-VECTOR CONVERGENCE AND DEEPER MOISTURE
ARRIVING TODAY AND LASTING THROUGH TONIGHT BEFORE THE CONVERGENCE IS
GONE LATE THU AFTER THE SECOND SHORTWAVE MOVES THROUGH. ISENTROPIC
LIFT AND MOISTURE MOVE IN TODAY ON THE I280K-I295K SURFACES...THEN
THE LIFT MOVES OUT LATE TONIGHT AND IS REPLACED BY DOWNGLIDE ON THE
ISENTROPIC SURFACES FOR THU. GFS SHOWS ABOUT THE SAME THING AS WELL.

TOUGH FORECAST CONTINUES TODAY WITH MIXED PRECIPITATION TYPES STILL
BEING THE MAJOR PROBLEM THROUGH TONIGHT. PCPN HAS BROKEN OUT IN
NORTH CENTRAL WISCONSIN AND IS FAST APPROACHING THE AREA. HAD TO
SPEED UP THE ARRIVAL OF THE PCPN THIS MORNING. NO REPORTS OF
FREEZING RAIN OR DRIZZLE...JUST EITHER SNOW OR RAIN IN WISCONSIN.
TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE CWA ARE ABOVE FREEZING. FOR THIS
REASON...REMOVED ANY MENTION OF FREEZING RAIN OR FREEZING DRIZZLE
OUT OF THE FORECAST. DID PUT UP A DENSE FOG ADVISORY FOR ALL BUT THE
W 1/3 OF THE CWA AS VISIBILITIES...ESPECIALLY IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN
ARE 1/4 MILE OR LESS. ALSO ISSUED AN SPS IN CASE ANY UNTREATED ROAD
SURFACES DO GET ICY WITH TEMPERATURES ONLY SLIGHTLY ABOVE FREEZING.
STILL LOOKS LIKE A RAIN/SNOW MIX OVER THE CWA WITH MOST OF THE PCPN
BEING RAIN.

OVERALL...DID NOT MAKE TOO MANY CHANGES TO THE GOING FORECAST FOR
TEMPERATURES OR WEATHER. FREEZING RAIN IS POSSIBLE TONIGHT. COLD AIR
COMES IN FOR THU AND LAKE EFFECT PCPN TAKES OVER. LOOKING AT GFS
BUFKIT SOUNDINGS FOR KERY AND KCMX...LAKE EFFECT DOES NOT LOOK TOO
BAD. INVERSION HEIGHTS ARE IN THE 3000-5000 FOOT RANGE WITH SOME DRY
AIR IN THE LOWER LEVELS.

IN THE EXTENDED...00Z ECMWF BRINGS IN A WINTER STORM FOR MONDAY FOR
THE UPPER GREAT LAKES. IT WAS TRYING TO DO THIS EARLIER SEVERAL DAYS
AGO AS WELL...BUT BACKED OFF ON IT AND TOOK IT TO THE FAR SOUTH. NOW
THIS STORM IS BACK. CANADIAN SHOWS THIS AS WELL. GFS HAS BEEN
CONSISTENT WITH TAKING THE STORM FURTHER SOUTH. QUESTION IS WHICH
MODEL WILL WIN OUT. CONFIDENCE IS FAIRLY LOW WITH THIS FORECAST AS
MODELS HAVE KIND OF DONE A FLIP FLOP WITH THIS SYSTEM. FOR
SATURDAY...LOOKED LIKE A WEAK SYSTEM COMES THROUGH WITH SOME LIGHT
SNOW. COLDER AIR WOULD COME BACK IN ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE SYSTEM
FOR TUE AND WED WITH SOME LAKE EFFECT SNOW. TEMPERATURES LOOK TO
STAY ABOVE NORMAL IN THIS FORECAST PERIOD. WITH THIS POSSIBLE SYSTEM
FOR MONDAY...CHANCE POPS LOOK WARRANTED FOR NOW. WILL BE INTERESTING
TO SEE IF LATER RUNS OF THE CANADIAN AND ECMWF TAKE THE SYSTEM
FURTHER SOUTH AGAIN AND IF THE GFS CONTINUES TO REMAIN CONSISTENT.
&&

.AVIATION /FOR THE 18Z TAF ISSUANCE/...

LOW CLOUDS/FOG CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF THE TAF PERIOD...AS A LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM CURRENTLY OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS MOVES NORTHEAST
THROUGH THE UPPER GREAT LAKES AREA. EXPECT MUCH OF THE PCPN TO BE
RAIN OR RAIN/SNOW MIX THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF THE EVENING...BUT
WILL TRY TO CHANGE OVER TO ALL SNOW...ESPECIALLY AT KCMX/KIWD AS A
HEAVIER PCPN AREA MOVES THROUGH. ALSO...EXPECT FOG TO THICKEN THIS
EVENING AT KSAW AND POSSIBLY REACH AIRPORT MINS...BEFORE ANOTHER
SURGE OF PCPN ARRIVES AND RAISES CIGS/VSBYS SOME. ALL IN
ALL...EXPECT ALT LANDING MINS TO CONTINUE UNTIL THE LOW EXITS THE
AREA LATE TONIGHT AND THURS. THIS SHOULD LEAD TO SOME RAISING OF
CIGS/VSBYS EVEN THOUGH THERE MAY BE SOME LAKE EFFECT SNOW DEVELOPING
AT KIWD/KCMX THROUGH THE MORNING.
&&

.MARINE /FOR THE 4 AM LAKE SUPERIOR FORECAST ISSUANCE/...

SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE INTO THE 15 TO 25 KT RANGE OVER THE
CENTRAL AND EAST PORTIONS OF THE LAKE TODAY AHEAD OF LOW PRESSURE
IN THE PLAINS. THE LOW IS FCST TO DEEPEN AS IT LIFTS ACROSS THE
UPPER LAKES BY THURSDAY MORNING. NORTHWEST GALES TO 40 KTS ARE
EXPECTED OVER MUCH OF THE LAKE LATE THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH
THURSDAY EVENING. GALE WATCH IN EFFECT FOR ALL BUT FAR WESTERN LK
SUPERIOR. AN UPGRADE TO A WARNING WILL LIKELY COME LATER TODAY.
STRONG WINDS WILL DIMINISH ON FRI WITH THE SLOW APPROACH OF A HIGH
PRESSURE RIDGE. A STRONGER SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL REDEVELOP ON SAT
AFTER THIS HIGH SHIFTS TO THE SOUTHEAST WITH WINDS TO AROUND 30 KT
OVER WEST AND CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE LAKE.
