AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI
954 PM EST MON JAN 2 2012

LATEST UPDATE...SHORT TERM AND MARINE...

.SYNOPSIS...(430 PM EST MON JAN 2 2012)
BANDS OF HEAVY LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT FOR
AREAS TOWARD THE LAKE MICHIGAN SHORE. NEAR WHITEOUT CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED IN THE HEAVIER BANDS. THE LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL BEGIN TO
TAPER OFF OVERNIGHT AND DWINDLE TO FLURRIES TUESDAY MORNING. MAINLY
DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THE REST OF THE WEEK WITH A MODERATING
TREND IN TEMPERATURES. READINGS WILL BE BACK ABOVE NORMAL BY THE END
OF THE WEEK...AROUND 40 FOR HIGHS.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(954 PM EST MON JAN 2 2012)
(TONIGHT AND TUESDAY)
WILL LET THE WARNING EXPIRE FOR THREE COUNTIES...LAKE...OSCEOLA AND
KALAMAZOO AT 03Z AS FORECASTED.  THE FLOW HAS BECOME MORE NNW TAKING
MOST OF THE LES AWAY FROM THESE COUNTIES.

DOMINATE LAKE BANDS CONTINUE FROM JUST OFFSHORE OF MUSKEGON AND
OTTAWA COUNTIES...INTO EASTERN ALLEGAN COUNTY AND ACROSS MOST OF VAN
BUREN COUNTY AS OF 0230Z.  RADAR WAS ESTIMATING ONE HALF TO ONE INCH
PER HOUR SNOWFALL WAS STILL OCCURRING IN THESE BANDS.  STILL
EXPECTING A DIMINISHING TREND LATE TONIGHT AS INVERSION LEVELS DROP
AND ANTICYCLONIC FLOW DEVELOPS.  IT STILL APPEARS THAT WE WILL
LIKELY BE ABLE TO DROP ALL HEADLINES PRIOR TO DAYBREAK TUE.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
MAINTAINED THE GOING HEADLINE TIME FRAME AND STRUCTURE FROM THE
MORNING UPDATE. THE LAKE SHORE COUNTIES REMAIN IN THE WINTER STORM
WARNING THROUGH 500 AM TUESDAY...WHILE KALAMAZOO...LAKE AND OSCEOLA
COUNTIES REMAIN IN THE WARNING THROUGH 1000 PM THIS EVENING.

TWO DOMINANT BANDS OF HEAVY LAKE EFFECT SNOW PERSIST THIS
EVENING...ONE STRETCHING FROM GRAND HAVEN SOUTH ACROSS ALLEGAN
COUNTY INTO VAN BUREN AND WESTERN KALAMAZOO COUNTIES. THE OTHER BAND
IS CONNECTED TO LAKE SUPERIOR AND STRETCHES FROM TRAVERSE CITY DOWN
INTO PORTIONS OF OSCEOLA COUNTY. IN THESE BANDS...INCH PER HOUR SNOW
RATES HAVE BEEN REPORTED AS WELL AS WHITEOUT CONDITIONS. ALL OF THE
HEADLINES LOOK GOOD...WITH QUITE A FEW TOTALS NOW COMING IN IN THE 6
TO 10 INCH RANGE...WITH MORE SNOW ON THE WAY. THE HIGHEST TOTAL SO
FAR COMES FROM 1 WEST OF ALLEGAN WITH 11 INCHES OF NEW SNOW.

SOLID MOISTURE AND LIFT CONTINUES IN THE DGZ THIS EVENING IN A
NORTH-NORTHWEST FLOW. MUCH OF THE SAME AREAS WILL CONTINUE TO BE
IMPACTED...WITH A SLIGHT WESTWARD SHIFT WITH TIME IN THE POSITION OF
THE BANDS. MOISTURE DECREASES CONSIDERABLY AFTER MIDNIGHT...BUT
EXTENDED THE TIME FRAME EARLIER GIVEN THE TYPICAL DIURNAL BOOST LAKE
EFFECT NORMALLY GETS AND THE LONG FETCH WITH SOME PRE-CONDITIONING
OFF OF LAKE SUPERIOR.

THE SNOW BY MORNING SHOULD HAVE DWINDLED TO SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS
WITH NOT MUCH MORE IN THE WAY OFF ACCUMULATION EXPECTED. SCATTERED
SNOW SHOWERS TUESDAY MORNING WILL DECREASE TO FLURRIES BY MIDDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM...(430 PM EST MON JAN 2 2012)
(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)
ONCE THE LAKE EFFECT SHUTS DOWN ON TUE...THE LONG TERM PORTION OF
THE FCST LOOKS RELATIVELY QUIET FOR EARLY JANUARY. THE FOCUS OF THE
FCST WILL BE ON A WAVE THAT IS EXPECTED TO CLIP THE CWFA LATE TUE
NIGHT AND WED...AND A FRONTAL SYSTEM EXPECTED TO DROP IN ACROSS THE
AREA NEXT WEEKEND.

THE AREA WILL START OUT THE LONG TERM PERIOD UNDER CONTROL OF SHORT
WAVE RIDGING ALOFT. THIS WILL BE BEHIND THE LARGE UPPER TROUGH
HELPING WITH THE LAKE EFFECT...AND AHEAD OF THE NEXT TROUGH DIGGING
TOWARD THE AREA. THE INCOMING SHORT WAVE TROUGH WILL CROSS ACROSS
THE AREA LATE TUE NIGHT AND WED MORNING. MOISTURE PROFILES ARE NOT
IDEAL TO SEE A WHOLE LOT OF SNOW FROM THIS SYSTEM. MID AND UPPER
LEVEL MOISTURE IS MOVING OUT JUST AS THE LOWER LEVELS ARE SATURATING
SUFFICIENTLY TO ALLOW SNOW TO REACH THE GROUND.

A DECENT UPPER RIDGE IS THEN FCST TO GRADUALLY TRANSLATE EAST TOWARD
THE AREA THROUGH THU BEFORE IT GETS FLATTENED BY JET ENERGY COMING
OFF OF THE NRN PACIFIC. THIS WILL BRING DRY CONDITIONS WITH
MODERATING TEMPERATURES INTO FRI. TEMPS AT H850 WILL WARM UP TO
AROUND 6 TO 8C...AND WILL SUPPORT MAX TEMPS AROUND 40F.

WE WILL SEE THE ENERGY THAT WILL FLATTEN THE JET ARRIVE IN THE
REGION THEN FOR THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. THIS WILL SET UP TROUGHING
OVER THE AREA AND BRING A COLD FRONT DOWN INTO THE AREA. MOISTURE
LOOKS AT THIS POINT TO BE RATHER MEAGER...SO WE HAVE A SMALL CHC OF
SNOW IN FOR SAT AND SUN. THE TROUGH SHOULD MOVE ON BY MON...
BRINGING DRY WEATHER AND SEASONABLE TEMPS TO THE AREA.

&&

.AVIATION...(648 PM EST MON JAN 2 2012)
REGIONAL RADAR SHOWS 2 MAIN BANDS OF SNOW. THE FIRST STRETCHES FROM
THE TRAVERSE CITY AREA SOUTHEAST TO NEAR ALMA. THE OTHER STRETCHES
FROM NEAR WHITEHALL SOUTHEAST TO WRN ALLEGAN COUNTY. WENT WITH
VSBYS AROUND 4 MILES AT KMKG FOR SEVERAL HOURS AS SOME SNOW SHOWERS
WILL MOVE ACROSS THE TAF SITE. HOWEVER MUCH OF THE TIME VSBYS AND
CIGS MAY BE VFR. FLURRIES EXPECTED AT KGRR/KAZO/KBTL AND GENERALLY
DRY AT THE ERN SITES.

&&

.MARINE...(954 PM EST MON JAN 2 2012)
WILL LET GALE WARNING EXPIRE AT 11 PM AND REPLACE WITH A SCA AS
WINDS CONTINUE TO DIMINISH.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...(430 PM EST MON JAN 2 2012)
LIMITED HYDRO CONCERNS THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS WITH COLDER WEATHER IN
PLACE. THE COLDER WEATHER DOES NOT STAY LONG...SO ICE JAMS ARE NOT
EXPECTED TO BE AN ISSUE. RIVER LEVELS REMAIN UP ACROSS THE KALAMAZOO
AND ST. JOE BASINS HOWEVER...WITH A RIVER FLOOD ADVISORY CONTINUING
AT VICKSBURG ON THE PORTAGE RIVER. OUTSIDE OF THE LAKE EFFECT
PRECIPITATION TONIGHT...MAINLY DRY WEATHER IS FORECAST INTO THURSDAY
NIGHT.
