PRESSURE NOW OVER THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THIS STORM SYSTEM
WILL TRACK THROUGH THE NORTHERN OHIO VALLEY TONIGHT SPREADING A DEEP
PLUME OF MOISTURE NORTHWARD AND INTO SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN OVERNIGHT.
CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE FROM SOUTH TO NORTH WITHIN THE 02-05Z
WINDOW AS AN AREA OF SNOWFALL EXPANDS IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY.
A PERIOD OF MODERATE TO OCCASIONALLY HEAVY SNOWFALL WILL PROMOTE
IFR/LIFR VISIBILITY AND CEILING RESTRICTIONS THROUGH THE EARLY-
MID MORNING HOURS.  PREVAILING NORTHEAST WINDS WILL STRENGTHEN
SLIGHTLY TONIGHT/EARLY FRIDAY AS THE DEEPENING LOW PASSES BY TO THE
SOUTH.  WINDS BACK TO NORTHWESTERLY AND BECOME GUSTY BY FRIDAY
AFTERNOON.

FOR DTW...A BRIEF MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW AT THE ONSET WILL QUICKLY
TRANSITION TO ALL SNOW AS THE PRECIPITATION INTENSITY INCREASES.
HEAVIEST SNOWFALL WILL ARRIVE 05Z-10Z...WHERE SNOWFALL RATES OF ONE
HALF TO ONE INCH PER HOUR WILL BE POSSIBLE.

//DTW THRESHOLD THREATS...

* MEDIUM CONFIDENCE IN CEILING FALLING BELOW 5000 FEET
  00Z-04Z...HIGH CONFIDENCE AFTER 04Z.  HIGH CONFIDENCE CEILING
  WILL REMAIN BELOW 5000 FT THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE TAF CYCLE.

* LOW CONFIDENCE IN A BRIEF RAIN/SNOW MIX AT THE ONSET 02-04Z.
  HIGH CONFIDENCE OF SNOW AS THE PRECIPITATION TYPE AFTER
  04Z.

* LOW CONFIDENCE IN CIGS/VSBY FALLING BELOW 200FT AND/OR 1/2SM
  OVERNIGHT.

.PREV DISCUSSION...ISSUED 353 AM EST THU FEB 23 2012

SHORT TERM...TODAY

A COMPACT MID LEVEL DISTURBANCE...EVIDENT ON WATER VAPOR
IMAGERY...IS BRINGING A WIDESPREAD DUSTING...WITH LOCALIZED AREAS
GETTING CLOSE TO AN INCH OF SNOW TO AREAS NORTH OF M-59 EARLY THIS
MORNING. THIS QUICK MOVING FEATURE SHOULD EXIT SOUTHEAST MICHIGIN
WITHIN THE NEXT FEW HOURS.

WITH THIS FEATURE TO OUR EAST A WEAK RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL
MOVE THROUGH THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES...KEEPING THE WEATHER DRY FOR
THE REST OF THE MORNING AND INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS. THE NEXT
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AFFECTING THE REGION WILL TRACK INTO THE WESTERN
OHIO VALLEY LATE THIS AFTERNOON. WHILE SOME OF THE PRECIPITATION
FROM THIS SYSTEM MAY MAKE ITS WAY INTO THE SOUTHERN CWA THIS
AFTERNOON...AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES AROUND 40 DEGREES WILL KEEP THE
PRECIPITATION TYPE AS A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW...WITH NO SIGNIFICANT
ACCUMULATIONS IF ANY EXPECTED THROUGH 00Z.

LONG TERM...

WINTER STORM TAKES AIM AT SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN TONIGHT.

WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS ACTIVE PATTERN OVER THE ROCKIES...WITH
RAOBS SHOWING OUR UPPER LEVEL PV CENTER COMING OUT MONTANA...AS A
250 MB TEMP OF -44 C WAS REPORTED AT GREAT FALLS. 00Z REGIONAL
GEM/UKMET/GFS ALL LOOKED INITIALIZED DECENTLY OUT THERE...THE ONLY
COMPLAINT I SAW WAS ACROSS MINNESOTA...AS MSP CHECK IN COLDER AT
850/700/500 MB...BUT THIS WAS TIED TO THE SHORTWAVE WHICH TRACKED
THROUGH LOWER MICHIGAN LATE IN THE EVENING/EARLY THIS MORNING.

MODEL TRENDS TONIGHT VS 24 HOURS AGO IS FOR A STRONGER STORM
SYSTEM...AND SUBSEQUENTLY FARTHER NORTHWEST TRACK AND HIGHER QPF.
UKMET/REGIONAL GEM INDICATING THE FAVORABLE TRACK FROM ROUGHLY ST
LOUIS (00Z THURSDAY)...THROUGH SOUTHERN ILLINOIS/CENTRAL
INDIANA/NORTHERN OHIO AND THEN THROUGH ERIE PA. WHILE THE 00Z GFS IS
FAVORING A SLIGHTLY FARTHER NORTH TRACK...AS THE LOW EMBRACES THE
MOISTURE/HEAT FLUX FROM THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES. THIS LEADS TO
PRECIPITATION TYPE CONCERNS FOR THE BOTTOM FOUR COUNTIES
(WASHTENAW/WAYNE/LENAWEE/MONROE) AS WEDGE OF WARM AIR AROUND AND
SLIGHTLY ABOVE 850 MB WORKS INTO THE STATE...ALONG WITH MID LEVEL
DRY SLOT CONCERNS IMPINGING ON THE SOUTHERN MICHIGAN BORDER.
GFS ALSO SHOWING 3 TO 5 G/KG OF SPECIFIC HUMIDITY WORKING INTO
SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN...AND THAT HIGHER 5 G/KG IS USUALLY TELL TALE
SIGN WE ARE PROBABLY LOOKING AT SLEET EVENT TOWARD THE OHIO BORDER.
EVEN CONCERNED THE WARM LAYER AND SURFACE TEMPS WILL BE SUFFICIENT
FOR STRAIGHT RAIN RIGHT AT THE BORDER. THE CENTRAL PART OF THE CWA
(I-69/M-59) LOOKS TO BE IN THE SWEET SPOT...CENTERED AROUND THE -4 C
ISOTHERM AT 850 MB...AS FGEN/LIFT IS STELLAR...WITH CONTINUED
EVIDENCE OF SUBSTANTIAL INSTABILITY HIGHER UP (700-500 MB LAPSE
RATES GREATER THAN 7 C/KG)...WHICH I THINK MAY ALLOW FOR CONVECTIVE
SNOWFALL RATES OF 1 TO 2 INCHES PER HOUR. THE PROBLEM IS USUALLY
WITH THIS UNSTABLE PROFILE/INTENSE LIFT (GREATER THAN 20
-UBARS)...THE PRECIPITATION AXIS TENDS TO BE NARROW AND
FOCUSED...TIED WITH THE TROWAL STRUCTURE...AND HAVE CONCERNS THE
AXIS MAY NOT REACH THE FAR NORTHERN COUNTIES (BAY/MIDLAND) AND
SNOW TOTALS/QPF MAY REALLY STRUGGLE (SEE REGIONAL GEM) UP THERE.

ONCE AGAIN...THE 00Z EUROPEAN HAS COME IN AND THROWN A WRENCH INTO
THE EQUATION (QUARTER TO 3 TENTHS OF AN INCH QPF)...AS SYSTEM COMES
THROUGH MUCH WEAKER...WITH DUAL LOW PRESSURE CENTERS EVENTUALLY
CONSOLIDATING OVER THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES. UNFORTUNATELY...TONIGHT
WE DO NOT HAVE THE NOGAPS TO FALL BACK ONTO TO EITHER...AS IT IS
ADVERTISING AN UNINSPIRING FLATTER WAVE QUICKLY MOVING THROUGH THE
SOUTHERN OHIO VALLEY.

EVEN THOUGH MY PREFERENCE IS WITH A BLENDED GFS/CANADIAN/UKMET
SOLUTION...WHICH TRANSLATES TO 4-8 INCHES FOR THE CENTRAL SECTION
OF SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN...DONT LIKE REALLYING ON INSTABILITY TO HELP
CONTRIBUTE TO MUCH OF THE QPF TOTALS...AND CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH
ENOUGH TO UPGRADE TO A WARNING. WILL MAINTAIN THE WATCH AS WE
STILL HAVE SUFFICIENT TIME TO UPGRADE AND FINE TUNE THE
FORECAST...AS WE ARE PROBABLY ONLY LOOKING AT ABOUT HALF THE
COUNTIES REACHING WARNING CRITERIA.

FEW CHANGES MADE BEYOND FRIDAY. UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL SWING
THROUGH DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEKEND...WITH POSSIBLE
FLURRIES/SNOW SHOWERS. PRONOUNCED UPPER LEVEL RIDGE MOVES OVERHEAD
SATURDAY NIGHT...WITH WARM ADVECTION PATTERN SETTING UP FOR
SUNDAY. HOWEVER...WITH THE EXPECTED SNOW PACK...PLANNING ON TEMPS
COMING UP SHORT OF 40 DEGREES AT THIS POINT.

MARINE...

A WEAK RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL TRACK THROUGH THE CENTRAL GREAT
LAKES TODAY...MAINTAINING A LIGHT AND VARIABLE WIND FIELD. A STRONG
LOW WILL LIFT OUT OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY AND THROUGH THE
SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES BETWEEN LATE TONIGHT AND INTO FRIDAY. BREEZY
ENE WINDS DEVELOPING IN ADVANCE OF THIS LOW WILL BECOME GUSTY BUT
MOST AREAS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW GALE THRESHOLDS AT THIS
TIME. HOWEVER THE GUSTY ONSHORE WINDS MAY BRING WAVE HEIGHTS UP TO
SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT ACROSS OUTER SAGINAW
BAY AND THE LAKE HURON NEARSHORE WATERS. ALTHOUGH NO HEADLINES WILL
BE ISSUED AT THIS TIME WILL MONITOR FUTURE FORECASTS FOR THIS
POSSIBILITY. BREEZY SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL DEVELOP LATE SUNDAY NIGHT
INTO MONDAY AS A LOW TRACKS ACROSS THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES.
