AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
605 PM EST THU DEC 20 2012

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 458 PM EST THU DEC 20 2012

THE WINTER STORM IS ONGOING AND IS PACKING QUITE A PUNCH. HAVE SEEN
WIDESPREAD/SYNOPTIC SNOW INCREASE IN INTENSITY LATE THIS MORNING
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. HEAVIEST SYNOPTIC SNOW IS ROUGHLY EAST OF A
LINE FROM BARAGA TO IRON MOUNTAIN. SNOW REPORTS FROM INLAND
MENOMINEE COUNTY TO FAR SOUTHERN MARQUETTE COUNTY HAVE BEEN IN THE 6
TO 9 INCH RANGE SINCE 8 AM EST. THIS WAS IN AREA OF STRONGEST H85-H7
FGEN...THAT WAS CURRENTLY LIFTING NORTH TOWARD LK SUPERIOR. AT
20Z...983MB SFC LOW WAS JUST NORTH OF CHICAGO WITH TROUGH PUSHING
NORTH-NORTHEAST INTO CNTRL LK MICHIGAN. SEEMS THAT ANYWHERE SOUTH OF
1005MB ISOBAR...SFC WINDS/GUSTS ARE BEGINNING TO INCREASE AND THESE
STRONG WINDS WILL AFFECT AREAS ALONG LK SUPERIOR AND IN THE SCNTRL
CWA TONIGHT. EXPECT SIGNIFICANT BLOWING AND DRIFTING TONIGHT IN THE
SCNTRL CWA EVEN AFTER THE SNOW DIMINISHES/ENDS.

SFC LOW PROJECTED TO SLIDE INTO CNTRL LOWER MICHIGAN OVERNIGHT. ALSO
A SURFACE TROUGH EXTENDS SOUTH INTO SOUTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN. FARTHER
NORTHWEST TRACK OF THE LOW ALLOWS WIDESPREAD SNOW ACROSS UPR
MICHIGAN TO PERSIST THROUGH MIDNIGHT OVER EAST HALF OF UPR MICHIGAN.
ADDITIONAL SNOW AMOUNTS 3 TO 6 INCHES EXPECTED OVER SCNTRL...WITH
THE MOST OCCURRING JUST INLAND FROM BAY OF GREEN BAY AND LAKE
MICHIGAN. ADDITIONAL UPSLOPE FROM NE WINDS WILL SUPPORT LAKE
ENHANCED SNOW OVER MUCH OF NCNRL UPR MICHIGAN...HURON MOUNTAINS TO
GWINN. ADDITIONAL SNOW AMOUNTS THROUGH TONIGHT COULD PUSH PAST 10
INCHES IN ISOLD HIGHER TERRAIN SPOTS. SNOW AMOUNTS OVER LOWER
ELEVATIONS HAVE BEEN HAMPERED THUS FAR BY JUST ENOUGH WARMING OFF
THE 36-38F DEGREE WATERS OF LK SUPERIOR. SEEMS THAT TOTAL SNOW
AMOUNTS THROUGH TONIGHT ALONG LK SUPERIOR SHORE WILL HAVE HARD TIME
REACHING PAST 5-8 INCHES DUE TO THE WARMER BLYR TEMPS AND LESSER
ADDITIONAL ACCUMS. SYSTEM IS KIND OF MORE LIKE NOVEMBER THAN LATER
DECEMBER.

OVER EASTERN CWA...ADDITIONAL SNOW AMOUNTS UP TO 8 INCHES SEEM
REASONABLE...WITH MANY SPOTS SEEING 1-2" PER HOUR SNOW RATES AT
LEAST THROUGH THIS EVENING. THUS FAR SNOW AMOUNTS IN THE WEST HAVE
BEEN APPROXIMATELY 2 TO 4 INCHES. LAKE ENHANCED SNOW MAY BOOST
TOTALS OVER HIGHER TERRAIN OF GOGEBIC AND ONTONAGON COUNTY THOUGH BY
LATE EVENING...DEEPER MOISTURE CUTS OUT FAIRLY QUICK...ULTIMATELY
LIMITING SNOW AMOUNTS OVERNIGHT SINCE TEMPS AT TOP OF LOWERING
INVERSION ARE GENERALLY WARMER THAN -10C.

LAKE ENHANCED SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT NCNTRL UPR MICHIGAN
INTO FRIDAY MORNING. MIXED LAYER WINDS UP TO 40 KTS WILL LEAD TO
SIGNIFICANT BLSN ISSUES ALONG OPEN AREAS OF LK SUPERIOR BTWN
MARQUETTE AND MUNISING. CONTINUED TO MENTION NEAR BLIZZARD
CONDITIONS IN WSW STATEMENT. SINCE HAZARD WILL NOT BE TOO WIDESPREAD
AND THERE IS NO ICE YET OFFSHORE PROVIDING PLATFORM FOR SNOW TO BLOW
IN OFF OF/...OPTED TO NOT UPGRADE TO ANY KIND OF BLIZZARD WARNING.
ADDITIONAL SNOW AMOUNTS ON FRIDAY WILL BE MAINLY LESS THAN 4 INCHES
THROUGH EARLY AFTN...GREATEST OVER NORTH CENTRAL UPR MICHIGAN.
CONDITIONS ALL AREAS WILL DRASTICALLY IMPROVE BY MID-LATE AFTN.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 458 PM EST THU DEC 20 2012

FRIDAY NIGHT...EVEN WITH 850 MB TEMPS AROUND -10C...ANY LINGERING
LAKE EFFECT OR LAKE ENHANCED SNOW WILL QUICKLY DIMINISH AS THE
FAVORABLE 850-700 MB MOISTURE MOVES TO THE EAST AND INVERSION
HEIGHTS DROP TO AROUND 3K FT. NNW FLOW WILL COULD STILL PRODUCE SOME
SCT LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS MAINLY FROM MARQUETTE EASTWARD COULD STILL
GIVE MINOR ACCUMULATIONS OF LESS THAN A HALF INCH.

SATURDAY...MID LEVEL AND SFC RIDGING BUILDING INTO THE AREA WITH
BACKING WINDS AND DEVELOPING ACYC FLOW WILL SHOULD LIMIT LES TO NO
MORE THAN ISOLD -SHSN WITH LITTLE OR NO ACCUMULATION.

SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY...NW FLOW BTWN A MID/UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER
QUEBEC AND A RIDGE OVER THE PLAINS WILL ALLOW A SHORTWAVE TROUGH TO
DROP SE THROUGH NRN ONTARIO INTO THE NRN GREAT LAKES. THIS WILL DRAG
A COLD FRONT THROUGH LAKE SUPERIOR AS ARCTIC HIGH RPESSURE OVER
CENTRAL CANADA BUILDS TO THE SOUTH. SOME LES MAY BE POSSIBLE AS
850 MB TEMPS DROP TO AROUND -12C...BUT THE SHALLOW COLD AIRMASS WITH
INVERSION HEIGHTS ONLY AROUND 3K-4K WILL SHOULD RESULT IN ONLY LIGHT
SNOWFALL AMOUNTS OF AN INCH OR LESS FOR NW FLOW FAVORED LOCATIONS.

MON-TUE...THE GFS SHOW GREATER DIFFERENCES IN HANDLING THE
INTERACTION OF SHORTWAVES MOVING OUT OF THE PLAINS AND THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A SURFACE LOW NEAR THE OHIO VALLEY. ALTHOUGH
CONFIDENCE IN THE DETAILS IS LOW...SOME WEAK TO MODERATE FORCING ON
THE NORTH END OF THIS SYSTEM MAY BRING SOME LIGHT SNOW AND SOME
ADDITIONAL LES TO NRLY WIND FAVORED LOCATIONS.

WED-THU...MODEL TRENDS CONTINUE TO FAVOR A TRACK TO THE SOUTH AND
EAST OF THE NRN GREAT LAKES WITH THE NEXT MAJOR MID LEVEL TROUGH AND
SFC LOW. REGARDLESS OF THE LOW TRACK AND DEVELOPMENT...NRLY FLOW
WITH 850 MB TEMPS TO AROUND -15C COULD BRING ANOTHER PERIOD OF LES
INTO THE CWA.
&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 604 PM EST THU DEC 20 2012

MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT AS THE SURFACE LOW
OVER ILLINOIS MOVES NORTHEAST. IN ADDITION...SURFACE N-NE WINDS WILL
ALSO INCREASE. ALL OF THIS SHOULD COMBINE TO KEEP LIFR CONDITIONS OR
LOWER AT ALL SITES THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. SAW MOST LIKELY TO
SEE CONDITIONS BELOW AIRPORT LANDING MINIMUMS TONIGHT DUE TO THE
HEAVY SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW WITH GUSTS TO 40 KT NOT OUT OF THE
QUESTION LATER TONIGHT. CONDITIONS SHOULD SLOWLY START TO IMPROVE
LATE TONIGHT AT CMX AND IWD AS THE SNOW MOVES EAST...BUT THE WIND
WILL STAY STRONG OUT OF THE NORTH SO IT IS UNCLEAR IF VSBYS WILL
IMPROVE GREATLY UNTIL WELL INTO THE DAY ON FRIDAY. CONDITIONS BY FRI
AFTERNOON SHOULD GO TO IFR/MVFR AT ALL SITES.

.MARINE...(FOR THE 4 PM LAKE SUPERIOR FORECAST ISSUANCE)
ISSUED AT 458 PM EST THU DEC 20 2012

EXPECT GALES TO 35-45KT TO OCCUR OVER ALL OF LAKE SUPERIOR AND WILL
KEEP GALE WARNINGS IN PLACE. STORM GUSTS NOT OF QUESTION...BUT
SHOULD NOT BE TOO WIDESPREAD/FREQUENT GIVEN LACK OF REALLY COLD AIR
SPILLING ACROSS LK SUPERIOR.

FRIDAY MORNING INTO FRIDAY EVENING NORTHERLY GALE FORCE GUSTS TO
35-45 KNOTS WILL CONTINUE...MAINLY ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL AND EASTERN
LAKE SUPERIOR AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES EASTWARD INTO THE NEW
ENGLAND STATES AND HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES INTO THE UPPER LAKES. NORTH
GALES SHOULD SUBSIDE TO 20 TO 30 KNOTS LATE FRIDAY NIGHT. WINDS FROM
SATURDAY ONWARD ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN LESS THAN 25 KNOTS.
