AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
1243 AM EST WED DEC 12 2012

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 424 PM EST TUE DEC 11 2012

WV IMAGERY AND RUC ANALYSIS INDICATED A BROAD MID/UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
FROM NRN HUDSON BAY INTO THE CNTRL CONUS. WEAK SHORTWAVES MOVING
THROUGH THIS TROUGH HAVE SUPPORTED AREAS OF VERY LIGHT SNOW AND
FLURRIES TODAY. SOUTHERLY CONVERGENT FLOW OFF LAKE MICHIGAN
SUPPORTED A DOMINANT LAKE EFFECT BAND INTO LUCE COUNTY THIS MORNING
AND EARLY AFTERNOON WHICH DROPPED AT LEAST 7 INCHES OF SNOW NEAR
MCMILLAN. THIS BAND HAS SINCE WEAKENED AND MOVED EAST.

MAIN FCST CONCERN TONIGHT IS POSSIBILITY OF MODERATE LAKE EFFECT
SNOW SHOWERS OVER THE NW CWA.

TONIGHT...THE NW ONTARIO TROUGH WILL MOVE EAST AND DRAG A COLD
FRONT INTO WRN LAKE SUPERIOR. THE COLDER AIR ALONG WITH WINDS
VEERING WRLY WILL PROVIDE FAVORABLE CONDITIONS FOR LES INTO THE
KEWEENAW. WITH 850 MB TEMPS DROPPING TO AROUND -15C...INVERSION
HEIGHTS AOA 7K FT...AND LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE STRENGTHENING DOWNWIND
FROM THE APOSTLE ISLANDS...A MODERATE TO POSSIBLE HEAVY LES BAND IS
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP. SNOWFALL AMOUNTS OF AT LEAST 2 TO 5 INCHES ARE
POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN FROM TWIN LAKES TO
CALUMET. SINCE MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT THAT A HEAVIER
BAND WILL SET UP OVER THIS AREA...HAVE ELECTED TO GO WITH AN
ADVISORY FOR NORTHERN HOUGHTON COUNTY. THERE IS STILL TOO MUCH
UNCERTAINTY TO INCLUDE KEWEENAW OR ONTONAGON IN AN ADVISORY AT THIS
TIME AS IT LOOKS LIKE THEY MAY BE ON THE FRINGE OF WHERE THE HEAVIER
SNOW BAND WILL SET UP. MODEL SNDGS INDICATE SUBSIDENCE WITH QUICKLY
LOWERING INVERSION HEIGHTS AFTER MIDNIGHT SO EXPECT DIMINISHING LES
INTENSITY BY THAT TIME. COLDEST TEMPS TONIGHT SHOULD BE ALONG THE
WISCONSIN BORDER WHERE SINGLE DIGITS COULD BE REACHED UNDER LIGHT
WINDS AND CLEARING SKIES OF SFC RDG. ELSEWHERE EXPECT LOWS TO BE
GENERALLY IN THE TEENS.

WEDNESDAY...THERE COULD BE SOME LINGERING LES OVER THE KEWEENAW
EARLY IN THE DAY BUT OTHERWISE SUBSIDENCE/DRYING AND LOWERING
INVERSION ALONG WITH QUICKLY BACKING FLOW SHOULD QUICKLY END LES.
SHORTWAVE QUICKLY MOVING ACROSS THE US/CANADIAN BORDER LATE IN THE
DAY MAY BRUSH THE NW PART OF LAKE SUPERIOR WITH LIGHT SNOW/FLURRIES
BUT OTHERWISE FORCING INDICATES BETTER CHC OF SNOW WILL STAY NORTH
AND WEST OF THE CWA. INCREASING H925 WINDS TO 35-45 KTS  LATE IN
THE DAY ALONG WITH NEUTRAL TO SLIGHLY UNSTABLE TEMPERATURE PROFILE
FM SFC-H9 AND INCREASING PRESSURE FALLS OVR LK SUPERIOR AND INTO
ONTARIO MAY RESULT IN AREAS NEAR LK SUPERIOR OVR NCNTRL AREAS TO
GUST AOA 30 MPH TOWARD EVENING. EXPECT HIGHS IN THE UPR 20S AND
LOWER 30S.

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 424 PM EST TUE DEC 11 2012

JET STREAK WILL BE PUSHING THROUGH THE NEARLY ZONAL NORTHERN FLOW AT
THE START OF THE PERIOD. THE LEFT FRONT OF THIS 110KT STREAK WILL BE
OVER UPPER MICHIGAN AND AIDING A WEAK 1012MB SFC LOW TRACKING ALONG
THE WARM FRONT ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT. FAIRLY DRY SURFACE TO H850 LAYER
OVER MUCH OF THE LAND CWA...SO DON/T THINK THERE WOULD BE MUCH SNOW
HITTING THE SURFACE EVEN WITH THE STRONG WAA ALOFT. THUS...WILL
LIMIT THE EVENING SLIGHT CHANCES TO THE TIP OF THE KEWEENAW
PENINSULA WITH THE CHANCES OVER NORTHERN LAKE SUPERIOR. THIS FORCING
WILL SHIFT EAST DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AND FOLLOW THE LOW INTO
ONTARIO.

BEFORE THE LOW DEPARTS THERE WILL BE STRONG WINDS ALOFT...ESPECIALLY
ABOVE THE INVERSION WHERE H900 WINDS APPROACH 45-50KTS ON WEDNESDAY
EVENING. BUT BELOW THE INVERSION WINDS ARE LIGHTER AND ONLY APPROACH
30-35KTS. AREA OF HIGHER PRESSURE FALLS OVER THE NORTHERN LAKE
INDICATES THE POTENTIAL FOR GUSTY WINDS ON WEDNESDAY EVENING. WITH
IT OCCURRING AT NIGHT...EXPECT THE SUSTAINED WINDS TO BE
HIGHER...BUT THE GUSTS MORE OCCASIONAL AND THE STRONGEST OVER THE
DOWNSLOPE AREAS OF THE NORTH CENTRAL. LOW LEVEL JET DIMINISHES
THROUGH THE NIGHT WITH THE LOW SHIFTING TO THE NORTHEAST AND EXPECT
THE SURFACE WINDS TO FOLLOW SUIT. THESE NIGHT TIME STRONG LOW LEVEL
JET ABOVE AN INVERSION ARE ALWAYS DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT
OF WIND THAT WILL MAKE IT TO THE SURFACE. BUFKIT MOMENTUM TRANSFER
IS USUALLY DECENT AT APPROXIMATE SUSTAINED WINDS/GUSTS...AND BOTH
NAM/GFS SOUNDINGS FOR STDM4 AND EAST BUOY ONLY SHOW A 6HR PERIOD
WEDNESDAY EVENING OF 30-35KTS. WILL LEAVE THE GALE WATCH AS
IS...SINCE HIGHER PLATFORMS WILL LIKELY SEE SOME OF THESE WINDS.

AREA WILL BE SOUTH OF THE TRAILING SURFACE TROUGH ON THURSDAY AND
EXPECT AN ABOVE NORMAL DAY OVER UPPER MICHIGAN. REMAINING
SOUTHERLY FLOW AND A FEW BREAKS IN THE MID CLOUDS SHOULD LEAD
TO ALL OF THE AREAS RISING ABOVE FREEZING DURING THE DAY.

MODELS HAVE THE IDEA OF THE TROUGH SAGGING SOUTH OVER SOUTHERN LAKE
SUPERIOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND REMAINING IN PLACE INTO FRIDAY
EVENING. THIS IS IN RESPONSE TO A SHORTWAVE THAT STREAKS THROUGH
THE ZONAL FLOW ON THURSDAY. AS THE TROUGH TRIES TO SAG SOUTH...LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE WILL INCREASE ON THE NORTH SIDE OF IT...BUT THERE IS
LITTLE TO NO CONVERGENCE ALONG THE TROUGH TO SUPPORT PRECIPITATION.
THUS...THE MAIN FORCING MECHANISM COMES FROM UPSLOPE FLOW. WITH THIS
SURFACE TROUGH STALLING OVER THE AREA...THE LOW LEVEL FLOW IS VERY
COMPLICATED AND UNCERTAIN AND MAKES PINPOINTING THE LIGHT
PRECIPITATION VERY DIFFICULT. SINCE THE TOP OF THE CLOUDS ARE
AROUND -8C AT 4KFT...DON/T EXPECT THERE TO BE MANY ICE CRYSTALS
IN THE CLOUDS AND REMOVE THE SNOW MENTION AND JUST GO WITH
DRIZZLE OR FREEZING DRIZZLE. LIGHT WESTERLY FLOW WOULD
FAVOR IT TO BE MAINLY OVER THE KEWEENAW ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
AFTER THAT...THERE ARE NO STRONG INDICATIONS ON WIND DIRECTIONS AND
WILL KEEP IT HIGHLIGHTED TO THE KEWEENAW FOR MUCH OF THE PERIOD
SINCE THEY WOULD HAVE MORE OPPORTUNITIES WITH THE VARIED WIND
DIRECTIONS. IN ADDITION...PICKED OUT A FEW LOCALIZED AREAS IN THE
NORTH CENTRAL TO HIGHLIGHT A SLIGHT CHANCE OF FREEZING
DRIZZLE BASED ON CONSENSUS WIND DIRECTIONS.

MODELS IN MUCH BETTER AGREEMENT THAN YESTERDAY HEADING INTO THE
WEEKEND...WITH THE GFS SHIFTING TOWARDS THE ECMWF/UKMET/GEM
SOLUTION. BUT...WITH THE INTERACTION OF SEVERAL DIFFERENT WAVES BY
THE TIME IT GETS HERE LEADS TO SOME UNCERTAINTY. THAT BEING
SAID...WITH THE CONSISTENCY OF THE ECMWF OVER THE LAST COUPLE DAYS
AND IT/S SUPERIOR SATELLITE BASED INITIALIZATION...WOULD WANT TO
LEAN TOWARDS THAT IDEA. WITH THE CURRENT TRACK...MUCH OF THE CWA
WILL SEE MEASURABLE...BUT LIGHT SNOW DUE TO THE BROAD AREA OF
CIRCULATION. BEST CHANCES WILL BE OVER THE SOUTHEAST HALF OF THE
CWA AND CLOSER TO THE LOW TRACK AND ALSO OVER NORTH CENTRAL UPPER
MICHIGAN WHERE UPSLOPE FLOW MAY INCREASE AMOUNTS. WITH THE ZONAL
FLOW IN PLACE AHEAD OF THIS WAVE...THERE WON/T BE MUCH COLD AIR TO
WORK WITH AND THAT LIMITS ANY LAKE ENHANCED POTENTIAL DURING THE
SYSTEM AND ALSO ON THE BACKSIDE. 12Z ECMWF HAS COME IN WITH A SLIGHT
SHIFT TO THE NORTH WITH THE LOW...SO FUTURE SHIFTS WILL HAVE TO
MONITOR IF THIS TREND CONTINUES.

FORECAST BECOMES MORE UNCERTAIN FOR MONDAY/TUESDAY OF NEXT
WEEK...WITH THE 00Z ECMWF HOLDING THE UPPER TROUGH OVER THE UPPER
GREAT LAKES REGION AND THE GFS AND IT/S ENSEMBLE PUSHING THE WAVE
OFF TO THE NEW ENGLAND STATES. 12Z ECMWF HAS TRENDED MORE
PROGRESSIVE...SO THERE COULD BE LIGHT LES OFF LAKE SUPERIOR MONDAY
AND TUESDAY AND SLIGHT CHANCE POPS REPRESENTS THAT WELL AT THIS
POINT.
&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z WEDNESDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1236 AM EST WED DEC 12 2012

CMX...EXPECT LINGERING LES TO SHIFT TO THE N OF CMX AND DIMINISH
THRU THIS MRNG AS LARGER SCALE SUBSIDENCE DEVELOPS OVER THE AREA AND
THE FLOW BEGINS TO BACK MORE TO THE SW...WITH PREDOMINANT MVFR
CONDITIONS BY 09Z. AS THE WIND BACKS FURTHER TO THE S ON WED...VFR
WX WL BE THE RULE WITH ARRIVAL OF DRIER AIR.

IWD/SAW...PREDOMINANT MVFR CIGS AT TAF TIME WL GIVE WAY TO VFR WX BY
09Z UNDER LARGER SCALE SUBSIDENCE AND AS BACKING FLOW TO A MORE
DOWNSLOPE SW DIRECTION ADVECTS DRIER AIR INTO THE AREA. EXPECT VFR
CONDITIONS AND GUSTY S WINDS ON WED AS THE PRES GRADIENT TIGHTENS
OVER THE UPR LKS.

.MARINE...(FOR THE 4 PM LAKE SUPERIOR FORECAST ISSUANCE)
ISSUED AT 424 PM EST TUE DEC 11 2012

SOUTHWEST WINDS TO 25 KTS WILL SHIFT WESTERLY THIS EVENING AS A
TROUGH MOVES THROUGH THE AREA AND THEN DIMINISH BRIEFLY BLO 20 KNOTS
LATE TONIGHT INTO WED MORNING. EXPECT INCREASING SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST
WINDS LATE WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. MARGINAL GALES TO 35
KNOTS ARE POSSIBLE OVER EASTERN PORTIONS OF LAKE SUPERIOR SO WILL
KEEP GALE WATCH IN EFFECT. A WEAK TROUGH DROPS ACROSS THE LAKE BY
THURSDAY EVENING. WINDS WILL DIMINISH SIGNIFICANTLY THURSDAY NIGHT
INTO FRIDAY IN THE WAKE OF THIS TROUGH. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
DEVELOPING IN THE PLAINS PUSHES INTO WESTERN GREAT LAKES LATE
SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY WHILE HIGH PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS NEW ENGLAND.
WINDS SHOULD INCREASE FROM THE EAST ON SATURDAY OVER LAKE SUPERIOR.
SINCE EXACT TRACK AND DEPTH OF SFC LOW REMAINS UNCERTAIN AT THIS
TIME...WILL KEEP WINDS SUB-GALE FOR NOW.
