AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
701 PM EST SUN JAN 6 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 336 PM EST SUN JAN 6 2013

SCATTED SNOW FLAKES WILL GRADUALLY END TONIGHT...WITH DRIER AND
COLDER AIR FILTERING IN FOR THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THE COOL DOWN WILL
BE SHORT LIVED THOUGH...AS HIGH PRESSURE AND UNSEASONABLY WARM
CONDITIONS SET IT ON MONDAY AND LAST RIGHT ON THROUGH THE WEEK.
ALTHOUGH WE WILL SEE A FAIR AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE THIS WEEK...A SERIES
OF DISTURBANCES WILL PERIODICALLY SKIRT BY JUST TO THE
NORTH...BRINGING VARYING AMOUNTS OF CLOUD COVER...AND THE OCCASIONAL
CHANCE FOR SOME GENERALLY LIGHT PRECIPITATION.

&&

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 700 PM EST SUN JAN 6 2013

HAVE EXTENDED THE CHANCE OF SOME LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS WRN
SECTIONS OF CHIPPEWA/MACKINAC COUNTIES AND ACROSS PORTIONS OF FAR
NW LWR MICHIGAN FOR ANOTHER COUPLE OF HOURS BASED ON RADAR TRENDS.
BY LATE EVENING...ALL CHANCES OF SNOW WILL COME TO AN END AND
PERSISTENT LOW CLOUDS WILL BEGIN TO BREAK UP AS SIGNIFICANTLY
DRIER LOW LEVEL AIR ARRIVES WITH THE SURFACE RIDGE AXIS. CURRENT
CLOUD FORECAST HANDLES THIS SCENARIO WELL.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 336 PM EST SUN JAN 6 2013

ON THE LATEST SURFACE WEATHER MAP OF INTEREST...1010 MB LOW
PRESSURE WAS OVER SOUTHEAST ONTARIO...1025 MB HIGH PRESSURE WAS
OVER NORTHEAST ONTARIO AND 1002 MB LOW PRESSURE WAS OVER SOUTHERN
SASKATCHEWAN. SATELLITE IMAGERY ALONG WITH SURFACE OBSERVATIONS
SHOWED LOTS OF LOWER CLOUDS ACROSS THE AREA...BUT MAINLY JUST MID
CLOUDS ACROSS EASTERN UPPER. APX AND SURROUNDING RADARS WAS SHOWING
SOME LIGHT RETURNS ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTHERN LOWER. THE MAIN SHORT
TERM FORECAST CONCERNS REVOLVE AROUND CLOUD COVER AND SUBSEQUENT LOW
TEMPERATURES TONIGHT.

TONIGHT...PERHAPS A FLURRY OR LIGHT SNOW SHOWER THROUGH EARLY
EVENING FROM NORTHERLY FLOW LES. OTHERWISE...DRY AIR WILL ADVECT
IN FROM THE NORTH AS SURFACE AND UPPER LEVEL RIDGING BUILD INTO
THE REGION. SO THE AGE OLD QUESTION IS WHETHER OR NOT IT WILL
CLEAR OUT. AM ALWAYS A LITTLE HESITATE TO DO SO IN THE MIDDLE OF
THE WINTER...BUT CURRENT FORECAST AND SURROUNDING OFFICES DO
SO...AND NORTHERLY FLOW IS THE BEST FLOW TO DO SO...SO WILL
CONTINUE ON THIS TRACK FOR NOW. WITH DIMINISHING WINDS AND
POTENTIALLY CLEARING SKIES...TEMPERATURES MAY PLUMMET. WILL
CONTINUE WITH LOWS RANGING FROM THE SINGLE DIGITS ABOVE ZERO
INLAND TO THE TEENS NEAR THE LAKESHORES.

MONDAY...SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT REALLY TIGHTENS UP AS STRONG HIGH
PRESSURE SLIPS OFF TO THE EAST AND A FAIRLY DEEP ALBERTA CLIPPER
MOVES BY TO THE NORTH. SO EXPECT GUSTY SOUTH SOUTHWEST WINDS AND
MILDER TEMPERATURES WITH HIGHS IN THE MIDDLE AND UPPER 30S. SKY
COVER REMAINS A BIT TENUOUS...AS OVER LAKE INSTABILITY IS ALRIGHT TO
START THE DAY...WHICH WANES THROUGH THE DAY. SO WILL CONTINUE WITH
CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES...MOST CLOUDS SHOULD BE NORTH FROM THE
CLIPPER MOVING BY.

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 336 PM EST SUN JAN 6 2013

MONDAY NIGHT...850 MB TEMPERATURES REMAIN BELOW 0C AND CONTINUE TO
COOL OVERNIGHT, WITH THE SOUNDINGS ON THE GFS AND ECMWF ALSO
REMAINING BELOW FREEZING, WILL EXPECT THAT AS THE FRONT PUSHES INTO
E UPPER OVERNIGHT THAT THERE WILL BE A CHANCE FOR LIGHT SNOW.
HOWEVER, IT LOOKS LIKE THE LIFT FROM THE 500 MB SHORTWAVE IS A
LITTLE DELAYED, SO HAVE THE CHANCES JUST OUTSIDE OF THE FORECAST
AREA, THEN OVERNIGHT, AS THE WAVE MOVES INTO AND THEN OUT OF THE
REGION WILL HAVE SLIGHT TO CHANCE POPS IN E UPPER. HOWEVER,
CONSIDERING THE SOUNDINGS ARE PRETTY DRY, WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF
NOTHING HAPPENED, MAYBE FLURRIES.

TUESDAY...THE SFC HIGH REASSERTS ITSELF AND THE RETURN FLOW. BOTH
MODELS HAVE CLEARING SKIES DURING THE DAY, THEN CLOUDING BACK UP
LATE IN THE AFTERNOON AS THE NEXT SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE UPPER GREAT
LAKES. RIGHT NOW HAVE MID 30S, BUT DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH THE SUN IS
EFFECTIVE, WOULDN'T THINK THAT 40 IS OUT OF THE QUESTION, ESPECIALLY
NEAR LAKE MICHIGAN AND ALONG M-55.

TUESDAY NIGHT...THE NEXT SFC LOW AFFECTS THE REGION WITH E UPPER
WHERE THE CHANCE POPS ARE FOCUSED AS THE MOISTURE AND ENERGY IS
FOCUSED. FOR THE EVENING, THOUGH THE MOISTURE IS PRETTY SPARSE, SO
IT WILL REMAIN DRY IN N LOWER AND JUST BARELY CHANCE POPS FOR AREAS
NORTH OF M-123 IN E UPPER. OVERNIGHT, THE MOISTURE VENTURES SOUTH TO
AROUND M-72, BUT THE MAIN FOCUS WITH THE DEEPER MOISTURE THAT
FOLLOWS THE COLD FRONT AND TRAILS THE 500 MB TROUGH.

WEDNESDAY...THE 700-500 MB MOISTURE BEGINS TO MOVE OUT OF THE REGION
DURING THE MORNING. WITH THE 850 MB TEMPERATURES FALLING TO AROUND
-8C, IT LOOKS LIKE THERE COULD BE SOME LIGHT LES IN THE AFTERNOON,
HOWEVER, WITH QUICKLY SHIFTING WIND DIRECTIONS AND THE 850-700 MB
LAYER RH FALLING TO LESS THAN 60% BY 00Z, WILL EXPECT THAT CHANCE
POPS OR SLIGHT CHANCE ARE SUFFICIENT FOR E UPPER. OVERNIGHT, HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION BOTH AT THE SFC AND AT 500 MB. AS
WELL AS THE 850 MB TEMPERATURES RISING. WILL HAVE TO SEE IF THERE IS
ENOUGH MOISTURE THAT GETS TRAPPED BELOW THE INVERSION FOR CLOUDS. AT
THIS POINT THE MODEL SOUNDINGS POINT TO NO.

EXTENDED (THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)...THURSDAY, THE ECMWF HAS TRENDED
BACK EVEN MORE KEEPING THE DAY DRY, AND MOST OF THE NIGHT. THE GFS,
AS HPC HAS MENTIONED IN THEIR DISCUSSION, IS EJECTING THE 500 MB LOW
OUT OF MEXICO FASTER THAN THE ECMWF. WOULD TEND TO SIDE WITH THE
ECMWF SINCE IT TENDS TO DO A BETTER JOB WITH EJECTING THESE SW UPPER
LOWS. SO WILL PROBABLY CUT THE POPS OVERNIGHT AS WELL WITH THE ECMWF
BARELY GETTING ANYTHING UP THE FAR NORTH BY 12Z. FRIDAY, WITH THE
SLOWER SOLUTION, BOTH THE MODELS ARE BACKING OFF ON THE TIMING OF
THE COLD FRONT FROM DURING THE DAY TO OVERNIGHT, AND EVEN THEN, IT
IS STILL RAIN. SO WILL HAVE THE CHANCE OF RAIN. SATURDAY, THE COLD
FRONT MOVES INTO THE REGION AND CHANGES THE RAIN TO SNOW ON THE GFS,
THE ECMWF IS DRAGGING IT'S FEET GETTING THE FRONT INTO N MICHIGAN.
SO WILL HAVE THE CHANCE POPS FOR RAIN DURING THE DAY. AFTER 00Z, THE
COLD AIR CONTINUES INTO THE REGION AND EVERYTHING SHOULD BE CHANGING
TO ALL SNOW BY 12Z. SO WILL HAVE A MIX OVERNIGHT. SUNDAY, BOTH
MODELS HAVE SOME LES. THE 850 MB TEMPERATURES -16C ON THE ECMWF AND
-12C ON THE GFS. WINDS ARE A GREAT DIRECTION FOR THE FORECAST AREA
ON THE GFS, BUT THE ECMWF IS QUITE A DIFFERENT STORY. IF ECMWF SHOW
UP, IT WILL BE A GOOD LES EVENT, BUT WE HAVE BEEN DISAPPOINTED BY
THE MODELS BEFORE ON THE DAY 7-8 PROGS.
