AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
349 PM EST TUE JAN 3 2012

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT AND WED/...

WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND RUC ANALYSIS SHOW THE NEXT SHORTWAVE TROF OF
INTEREST HEADING SE THRU MANITOBA AND THE DAKOTAS. IMPRESSIVE
WARMING IS NOTED AHEAD OF FEATURE. 850MB TEMPS AT KBIS/KABR/KINL
HAVE JUMPED FROM -1/-6/-15C RESPECTIVELY AT 00Z TUE TO 11/9/-9C AT
12Z. STRONG WAA HAS YET TO YIELD ANY PCPN. ONLY SOME MID AND HIGH
CLOUDS ARE NOTED. AS SHORTWAVE CONTINUES ESE...DON'T ANTICIPATE ANY
PCPN TO DEVELOP IN ONGOING STRONG WAA GIVEN OVERALL RELATIVELY DRY
ENVIRONMENT SHOWN ON THIS MORNINGS REGIONAL SOUNDINGS. THERE IS JUST
ENOUGH LINGERING OVERWATER INSTABILITY TO GENERATE SOME -SHSN OFF
THE LAKES UNDER SYNOPTIC FORCING. WIND SHOULD HAVE ENOUGH SOUTHERLY
COMPONENT TO WARRANT A MENTION OF -SHSN OVER THE E THIS EVENING...
AND ALSO OVER THE KEWEENAW LATER THIS EVENING AND OVER THE NE FCST
AREA WED MORNING AS SW WINDS VEER WNW. OTHERWISE...CONCERN AFTER
FROPA IS POTENTIAL FOR -FZDZ AS MIDLEVELS SHARPLY DRY WHILE MODELS
INSIST THAT A SHALLOW MOIST LAYER (2-3KFT THICK) MATERIALIZES. TEMPS
WITHIN THE SHALLOW MOIST LAYER ARE WARMER THAN -10C...SUGGESTING NO
ICE NUCLEATION. SATELLITE/UPSTREAM OBS HAVE YET TO SHOW ANY LOW
CLOUD DEVELOPMENT. HOWEVER...NOSE OF HIGHER SFC DWPTS WELL INTO THE
20S INTO SRN MANITOBA/ERN ND IS SUPPORTIVE OF A POTENTIAL LOW-CLOUD
DECK DEVELOPING AS THE MOISTURE ADVECTS INTO COLDER AIRMASS OVER THE
AREA TONIGHT. HAVE THUS INCLUDED A MENTION OF -FZDZ IN THE WNW WIND
UPSLOPE AREAS OVER WRN UPPER MI LATE EVENING INTO THE MORNING HRS
AND OVER THE NE FCST AREA WED. CONFIDENCE IS LOW.

CLOSELY FOLLOWED REGIONAL GEM FOR TEMP TRENDS TONIGHT. SOME AREAS...
ESPECIALLY W AND N...WILL SEE MINS EARLY THIS EVENING WITH TEMPS
SLOWLY RISING THRU THE NIGHT. MAX TEMPS IN THE UPPER 20S AROUND 30F
SHOULD BE THE RULE WED.

.LONG TERM /WED NIGHT THROUGH NEXT TUESDAY/...

WEAK SHORTWAVE WILL BE SLIDING THROUGH THE NW FLOW AT THE START OF
THE PERIOD AND WILL LEAD TO SOME MID CLOUDS OVER MUCH OF THE CWA.
LARGE DIFFERENCES IN H850 TEMPS BETWEEN 12Z NAM AND 06Z GFS...WITH
THE NAM AROUND -6C AND GFS AROUND -9C OVER THE ERN LK. 12Z GEM AND
00Z ECMWF ARE A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE GFS THAN THE NAM. THESE
DIFFERENCES PRODUCE UNCERTAINTY IN LK EFFECT CHANCES AND WILL JUST
MENTION FLURRIES OVER THE NW WIND FAVORED AREAS E OF MUNISING WED
NIGHT. AS SHORT TERM DISCUSSION MENTIONED...THERE COULD BE SOME
DRIZZLE INSTEAD...BUT FELT CHANCES WERE TOO LIMITED TO MENTION.

FLATTENING UPPER RIDGE ON THURS WILL BACK H850-500 WINDS TO THE WEST
AND PRODUCE BROAD WAA OVER THE UPPER GREAT LKS. WITH MOISTURE
STREAMING THROUGH THE UPPER FLOW...THINK THERE WILL BE SOME MID
CLOUDS OVER THE AREA THURS INTO THURS NIGHT...BUT DRIER LLVLS WILL
LIMIT PCPN EVEN WITH THE INCREASING WAA. SFC LOW DEVELOPING OVER THE
CANADIAN ROCKIES ON THURS IN RESPONSE TO SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH
THE NRN STREAM WILL SHIFT SE TOWARDS LK WINNIPEG BY 00Z FRI. DEEPEST
MOISTURE AND STRONGEST WAA WILL OCCUR OVER SRN ONTARIO AND NRN LK
SUPERIOR ALONG THE DEVELOPING WARM FRONT THURS AFTN INTO THE
EVENING...SO WILL CONTINUE CHANCE PCPN MENTIONS THERE.

WITH THE SFC LOW SLIDING THROUGH SRN ONTARIO THURS NIGHT AND
FRI...SW HALF OF THE AREA WILL BE UNDER DRY WARM MID LVL AIR /H850
TEMPS RISING TOWARDS 2-3C BY 12Z FRI/. MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW
MOISTURE TRAPPED BELOW THE H900 INVERSION ON THURS NIGHT INTO THE
FIRST PART OF FRI...WHICH COULD LEAD TO BROAD LOWER STRATUS AT LEAST
ON THURS NIGHT. NOT ENTIRELY CONF ON AMNT/COVERAGE OF LOW
CLOUDS...SO WILL CONTINUE PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES OVER THE SW HALF OF
THE AREA. INCREASING WINDS...DRIER AIR...AND WEAKENING INVERSION ON
FRI SHOULD DIMINISH CLOUD COVERAGE OVER THE SW HALF. THE REST OF THE
AREA WILL BE ON THE EDGE OF THE MID CLOUDS FROM THE SYSTEM OVER THE
N. WITH AREA IN WARM SECTOR...EXPECT ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES
ACROSS THE AREA ON FRI. WILL CONTINUE UPPER 30S FCST...BUT COULD SEE
SOME LOWER 40S OVER THE SCNTRL...WHERE THE WARMEST LLVL AIR WILL BE
LOCATED.

DAYS 4 THROUGH 7 /FRI NIGHT THROUGH NEXT TUESDAY/...

THE SFC LOW SHIFTING E THROUGH SERN ONTARIO AT THE START OF THE
EXTENDED PERIOD...DROPPING A COLD FRONT WILL SE ACROSS THE CWA FRI
NIGHT INTO SAT. DEEP MOISTURE/FORCING CONTINUE TO APPEAR LIMITED AND
WILL CONTINUE ONLY LOW END CHANCE POPS WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE
FRONT. THE COLD FRONT THAT DROPS ACROSS THE AREA LOOKS TO GET HUNG
UP OVER UPPER MI AND NRN WI ON SAT NIGHT DUE TO LIMITED COLD AIR
BEHIND TO GIVE IT A PUSH. ADDITIONAL LLVL MOISTURE FROM THE UPPER
TROUGH ROTATING THROUGH AND H850 TEMPS GRADUALLY FALLING TOWARDS
-14C BY SUN MORNING SHOULD LEAD TO A SLOWLY EXPANDING AREA OF LIGHT
LES SAT NIGHT INTO SUN...MAINLY FOR NW WIND LOCATIONS. LACK OF COLD
AIR GETTING FORCING INTO THE DGZ IS THE MAIN LIMITING FACTOR...SINCE
INVERSION HEIGHTS WILL INITIALLY BE AROUND 6KFT AND PLENTY OF LLVL
MOISTURE. DID BUMP POPS UP SOME FOR FAVORED LOCATIONS...BUT KEPT
THEM IN THE LOW CHANCE CAT DUE TO LIMITED ACCUM POTENTIAL.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO LK SUPERIOR ON SUN AS UPPER TROUGH
SHIFTS E. DRIER AIR AND SUBSIDENCE WILL LEAD TO LOWERING INVERSION
HEIGHTS AND SHOULD TAPER OFF LES IN THE EVENING. UPPER GREAT LKS
REGION SHIFTS BACK SLIGHTLY NW FLOW ALOFT AS THE RIDGE OVER THE WRN
CONUS FLATTENS. THIS WILL ALLOW WARMER H850 TEMPS TO INVADE THE
UPPER GREAT LKS REGION AND KEEP THE NRN STREAM WAVES RUNNING ALONG
AND JUST N OF THE U.S./CANADIAN BORDER. EXTENDED MODELS CONTINUING
TO SHOW WAVE AFFECTING SRN ONTARIO ON MON...WHICH MAY PUSH SOME PCPN
OVER THE NE HALF OF THE CWA...OTHERWISE THE FAIRLY QUIET AND ABOVE
NORMAL TEMP PATTERN OF WINTER CONTINUES.
&&

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

VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL INTO THE EVENING HRS AT KIWD/KCMX/KSAW
UNDER RELATIVELY DRY AIRMASS PER MORNING SOUNDINGS. WITH SFC HIGH
PRES RIDGE OVER THE AREA EXITING TO THE E... A STRENGTHENING S WIND
WILL DEVELOP AS PRES GRADIENT TIGHTENS BTWN THE DEPARTING HI AND A
DISTURBANCE/AREA OF PRES FALLS PASSING THRU NRN ONTARIO. AS IS
TYPICAL...THE STRONGEST S WINDS SHOULD IMPACT KIWD AND KSAW WITH
GUSTS AOA 25 KTS. SHOULD WINDS DECOUPLE SUFFICIENTLY THIS EVENING...
LLWS WILL BE POSSIBLE. AS THE ONTARIO DISTURBANCE MOVES FARTHER TO
THE E TONIGHT...A LOW PRES TROF WILL SWING ACROSS UPPER MI. AS THE
FLOW VEERS TO THE WNW...EXPECT LOW CLDS/MVFR CIGS AND PERHAPS SOME
-FZDZ OR -SN TO DEVELOP WHERE THIS FLOW UPSLOPES AT KCMX/KIWD.
CONFIDENCE IS LOW. DOWNSLOPE NATURE OF THE WIND AT KSAW WILL LIMIT
THIS POTENTIAL THERE.
&&

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

PERIOD OF S TO SW GALES ARE EXPECTED LATE AFTN/EVENING OVER MUCH OF
LAKE SUPERIOR AS PRES GRADIENT TIGHTENS BTWN DEPARTING HIGH PRES AND
APPROACHING LOW PRES TROF. HEALTHY AREA OF PRES FALLS (CURRENTLY
8MB/3HR JUST NW OF LAKE SUPERIOR) SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO NUDGE
WINDS TO GALE FORCE AS PRES FALLS SHIFT EASTWARD THIS EVENING. SW
WIND WILL VEER TO THE NW LATER TONIGHT WED...WITH SPEEDS UP TO 25-30
KTS. AS AN AREA OF HIGH PRES MOVES INTO ONTARIO THU...WINDS OVER THE
LAKE WILL DIMINISH BLO 20KT. LOOK FOR A STRONGER WESTERLY WIND OF
25-30 KTS TO RETURN FRI FOLLOWING THE PASSAGE OF ANOTHER LOW PRES
SYSTEM THRU ONTARIO.
