AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
122 AM EST SUN NOV 24 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 349 PM EST SAT NOV 23 2013

ARCTIC AIR WILL CONTINUE TO BRING LAKE EFFECT SNOWS THIS
WEEKEND...WITH HEAVY ACCUMULATIONS EXPECTED THROUGH TONIGHT ALONG
AND WEST OF U.S. 1 31...AND INTO EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN. A CANADIAN
CLIPPER SYSTEM WILL SWEEP OVER THE GREAT LAKES EARLY NEXT
WEEK...KEEPING THE AREA LOCKED INTO A COLD AND SNOWY PATTERN.

&&

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 122 AM EST SUN NOV 24 2013

LAKE SNOW EVENT LOOKING MUCH MORE LIKE A TYPICAL ONE FOR NORTHERN
MICHIGAN...WITH LOSS OF DEEPER SHEAR AND A WEAKENING LAKE SUPERIOR
CONNECTION HELPING BREAK UP SEVERAL DISTINCT BANDS INTO MUCH
WEAKER...DIFFUSE ONES. THOSE WILL BE LESS EFFECTIVE AT
ACCUMULATING...AND WILL IN ALL LIKELIHOOD BE ABLE TO CANCEL THE
CURRENT SUITE OF HEADLINES OVER THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS. WHILE THERE
WILL MOST CERTAINLY BE A COUPLE MORE INCHES IN SPOTS...WINDS HAVE
DIMINISHED...LEAVING LESS OF AN IMPACT...AND ROADS ARE ALREADY
SNOW COVERED ACROSS THE SNOW BELTS FROM CONDITIONS THE PAST 24
HOURS. HAVE RAISED OVERNIGHT LOWS A FEW DEGREES AS WINDS ARE
HAVING A HARD TIME DECOUPLING. STILL A WINDOW FOR THINGS TO
BRIEFLY CRATER TOWARD SUNRISE...BUT CONFIDENCE IN THAT IS LOW AT
THIS POINT.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 1012 PM EST SAT NOV 23 2013

ADVISORIES WERE POSTED A SHORT TIME AGO FOR PRESQUE ISLE CO...WITH
PERSISTENT SUPERIOR-HURON BANDING...AND ROSCOMMON CO...WHICH WAS
ABOUT TO GET IN ON THE END OF THE DOMINANT BAND IN NW LOWER.

AFTER EARLIER BACKING...LOW-LEVEL WINDS HAVE SHOWN LITTLE CHANGE
INTO NW LOWER OVER THE LAST HOUR. HOWEVER...UP ON SUPERIOR...SOME
VEERING IS SEEN ON BOTH MQT/MONTREAL RIVER RADARS...AND IN
SHORT-TERM MODEL PROGS. THE EARLIER BACKING DOWN HERE...AND
PRESENT VEERING UP THERE...HAS LED TO THE DOMINANT BAND BECOMING A
LITTLE DISORGANIZED AND WEAKER.

1000-850MB WINDS ARE PROGGED TO BACK JUST A HAIR ON NORTHERN LAKE
MI...AND REMAIN STABLE ON SUPERIOR. SLOW AND GRADUAL DRYING WILL
ALSO OCCUR THRU 09Z...ACCELERATING AFTER THAT. LAKE EFFECT SNOW
SHOWER MORPHOLOGY SHOULD NOT CHANGE A TON IN EASTERN UPPER/NE
LOWER MI...WHILE SHOULD STILL TEND TO DRIFT A BIT EASTWARD IN NW
LOWER.

HEADLINES...ADVISORIES SET TO EXPIRE AT MIDNIGHT FOR MANISTEE/
BENZIE COUNTIES. BEEN QUITE SOME TIME SINCE EITHER OF MBL/FKS HAS
HAD ANY SORT OF VSBY RESTRICTION...THOUGH RADAR STILL SHOWING SHSN
IN THE INTERIOR OF THESE COUNTIES. PLAN ON LETTING THAT HEADLINE
DIE A NATURAL DEATH AT MIDNIGHT. WILL CANCEL THE WEXFORD CO RIGHT
NOW. LEELANAU/GD TRAV ARE ALSO OUT OF HEAVIER SNOW....PROBABLY FOR
GOOD...BUT THE LAKESHORES REMAIN WINDY WITH LOW VSBYS IN
FALLING/BLOWING SNOW. WILL MAINTAIN WARNINGS THERE FOR
NOW...THOUGH WOULD EXPECT THOSE WILL BE ABLE TO BE CANCELLED
BEFORE THERE NORMAL EXPIRATION AS WINDS CONTINUE TO SLOWLY FALL
OFF. NO OTHER CHANGES PLANNED.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 709 PM EST SAT NOV 23 2013

LAKE EFFECT SNOW (LES) BANDS ARE SLOWLY GETTING DISPLACED
EASTWARD...AS 1000-850MB WINDS START TO GRADUALLY BACK. IMPRESSIVE
DOMINANT BAND IS NOW EAST OF TVC...EXTENDING FROM THE ENTRANCE OF
GD TRAV BAY...TO ELK RAPIDS...TO CENTRAL MISSAUKEE CO. AM FINE-
TUNING THE GRIDDED FORECASTS...BUT BY AND LARGE THE EVENING
FORECAST IS COOPERATING IN NW LOWER.

THE EASTWARD SHIFT EVENTUALLY REACH EASTERN UPPER AND NE LOWER...
BUT FOR NOW AM NERVOUSLY WATCHING THE STRONGER BAND A BIT W OF
ROGERS CITY.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 349 PM EST SAT NOV 23 2013

DEEP TROUGH AND VERY COLD AIR MASS NOW FIRMLY ENTRENCHED ACROSS NRN
MICHIGAN. NEAR 1050 MB HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WORKING INTO THE UPPER
MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY RESULTING IN ONGOING NNW FLOW LAKE EFFECT
EVENT ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES GIVEN THE EXTREME LAKE INSTABILITY
(LAKE-H8 DELTA T/S PUSHING 30C). ANTECEDENT AIR MASS IS DRY...
EVIDENCED BY NEARLY CLEAR SKIES WEST AND NORTH OF THE GREAT LAKES
AND NEGATIVE SFC DEWPOINTS (FAHRENHEIT) NORTH OF LAKE SUPERIOR. BUT
THE RELATIVE WARM LAKE TEMPS AND MOISTURE FLUX OFF THE LAKES
PROVIDING SUFFICIENT MOISTURE TO GENERATE SOME BEEFIER LAKE SNOW
SHOWERS SO FAR.

MOST DOMINANT LAKE BAND HAS SET UP FROM LAKE NIPIGON IN ONTARIO TO
TO MUNISING...THEN DOWN ACROSS LAKE MICHIGAN AND INTO THE GRAND
TRAVERSE BAY AREA...ALONG EVIDENT LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE AXIS. THUS
MOST PERSISTENT WINTRY CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN REPORTED AROUND THE
GRAND TRAVERSE BAY REGION TODAY. A COUPLE STRONGER DOMINANT BANDS
IMPACTING AREAS EASTWARD TO THE US-131 CORRIDOR...WHILE WEAKER BUT
STILL DECENT MULTI-LAKE BANDS IMPACTING MUCH OF THE REST OF THE SNOW
BELTS TODAY.

TONIGHT...AFOREMENTIONED HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM FORECAST TO DEVELOP
SOUTHEASTWARD TO THE KANSAS/IOWA BORDER BY SUNDAY MORNING...BACKING
THE MEAN LOW LEVEL FLOW MORE NORTHWESTWARD WITH TIME. THIS SHOULD
FOCUS LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE AXIS AND DOMINANT LAKE BANDING BACK
TOWARD THE I-75 CORRIDOR AS WE GO THROUGH THE NIGHT. THERE WILL BE
SOME FURTHER DRYING/SUBSIDENCE OVERNIGHT THAT WILL TEND TO DIMINISH
LAKE SNOWS. REGARDLESS...CERTAINLY THE POTENTIAL TO PICK UP AN
ADDITIONAL 4 TO 6 INCHES WHERE LAKE BANDS PERSIST THE LONGEST. BEST
GUESS FOR TOP END AMOUNTS IS ACROSS ANTRIM/KALKASKA COUNTIES...
PARTS OF LEELANAU/MISSAUKEE/OTSEGO AND CRAWFORD COUNTIES...AS WELL
AS WESTERN MACKINAC COUNTIES. SO...AT THIS POINT...GOING HEADLINES
WILL REMAIN AS IS...BUT WILL ALSO ADD OTSEGO AND CRAWFORD COUNTIES
TO THE MIX WITH SOME HEAVIER/PERSISTENT LAKE BANDS ANTICIPATED
TONIGHT.

ONE FINAL WORD...PRESQUE ISLE AND ALPENA COUNTIES HAVE BEEN
GETTING SOME PERSISTENT LAKE BANDING OFF HURON...WITH ORIGINS UP
INTO EASTERN LAKE SUPERIOR. AM GETTING CONCERNED ABOUT THAT AREA AND
MAY ALSO HOIST A LAKE SNOW ADVISORY TO COVER IT. WILL SEE.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 349 PM EST SAT NOV 23 2013

A VERY ACTIVE/PROGRESSIVE PERIOD THROUGHOUT THE LONG TERM
PERIOD...WITH MANY DIFFERENT LAKE EFFECT SNOW WIND REGIMES SETTING
UP ALONG WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT SHORTWAVES MOVING OVERHEAD PRODUCING
SOME SYNOPTIC SNOWFALL FOR THE REST OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.

SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...NORTHWEST FLOW REGIME LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL
DWINDLE IN THE MORNING HOURS OF SUNDAY AS MUCH DRIER AIR MOVES OVER
NORTHERN MICHIGAN AND WINDS BEGIN TO BACK TO A SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW
SETTING UP FOR THE NEXT ROUND OF LAKE EFFECT SNOW FOR WESTERN
MACKINAC COUNTY AND AREAS NEAR THE COAST OF NORTHWEST LOWER MICHIGAN
SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. WITH GENERAL MODEL AGREEMENT OF 850 TEMPS
OF -10 TO -14C OVER LAKE TEMPERATURES OF NEAR 9C...850-700MB
RELATIVE HUMIDITY WELL ABOVE 60 PERCENT AND MODEL SOUNDINGS WITH
INVERSION HEIGHTS OF UP TO 4K...THESE INGREDIENTS WILL BE MORE THAN
ENOUGH TO GENERATE LAKE EFFECT SNOWS ONCE AGAIN...WITH INTENSITIES
WAVERING FROM LIGHT TO MODERATE AND GENERATING 3-6 INCHES POSSIBLE
OVER MACKINAC COUNTY. NEXT SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVES THROUGH NORTHERN
MICHIGAN MONDAY NIGHT...VEERING WINDS TO WEST AND THEN
NORTHWEST...ENHANCING SYNOPTIC SNOWFALL THAT WILL OVERSPREAD THE
ENTIRE FORECAST AREA OVER NORTHWEST LOWER MICHIGAN. OF COURSE
UNCERTAINTY OF EXACTLY WHERE HEAVIER SNOW BANDS MAY FORM EXISTS.
TEMPERATURES WILL ONLY MAKE IT INTO THE LOW 20S AND DIPS BACK DOWN
INTO THE TEENS FOR MONDAY MORNING. HIGHS MONDAY WILL REACH INTO THE
LOW 30S.

TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...PRETTY STRONG WAVE BEGINS TO PUSH THROUGH
THE GREAT LAKES REGION BY TUESDAY MORNING. WITH WESTERLY WINDS
CONTINUING TO PRODUCE LAKE EFFECT SNOWS WITH 850 TEMPS STILL BETWEEN
-8 AND -10C AND AMPLE MOISTURE. WINDS VEER NORTHERLY BY TUESDAY
AFTERNOON...850 TEMPS DECREASE TO NEAR -15C GENERATING YET MORE LAKE
EFFECT SNOW FOR EASTERN UPPER AND EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF
OUR CWA...LEELENAU...BENZIE...AND MANISTEE COUNTIES. LAKE EFFECT
SNOWS SHOULD FINALLY BEGIN WINDING DOWN LATE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AS
DRIER AIR FILTERS IN BEHIND THE DEPARTING SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND AN
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT. AS STATED IN THE LAST DISCUSSION...THIS IS A
VERY PROGRESSIVE UPPER AIR PATTERN AND UNCERTAINTIES ARE TOO HIGH
FOR THE LONGER TERM PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST. ALTHOUGH IT APPEARS
THAT WE WILL BE IN A PROLONGED SNOWY PERIOD. TEMPERATURES THROUGHOUT
THIS PERIOD WILL CONTINUE TO BE ABOUT 5 TO 10 DEGREES LOWER THAN
NORMAL...WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 20S TO LOW 30S...WHILE LOWS WILL BE
IN THE TEENS TO LOW 20S.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 122 AM EST SUN NOV 24 2013

LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE EARLY AFTERNOON
HOURS...BRINGING THE HIGHLY VARIABLE CONDITIONS AS ANTICIPATED IN
SUCH A SETUP. HOWEVER...THE WORST OF THIS EVENT HAS ENDED...WITH
NO MAJOR PRIMARY SNOW BANDS ANTICIPATED...AND ONLY BRIEF PERIODS
OF IFR VISIBILITIES AS TRANSIENT BANDS PASS BY THE TERMINAL SITES.
THE WORST OF CONDITIONS WILL BE NEAR THE PLN AND TVC TERMINALS...
WITH APN ON THE FAR EASTERN FRINGE AND UNLIKELY TO EXPERIENCE
ANYTHING WORST THAN A VERY BRIEF PERIOD OF REDUCED VISIBILITY.
WINDS WILL SLOWLY BACK AROUND TO THE WEST AND SOUTHWEST...FOCUSING
THE MAJORITY OF LINGERING ACTIVITY UP NEAR PLN FOR A TIME INTO
EARLY OR MID AFTERNOON...WITH CONDITIONS IMPROVING ELSEWHERE...AS
JUST SOME MID CLOUDS PASS OVERHEAD. WINDS HAVE SETTLED DOWN...AND
WILL REMAIN FAIRLY LIGHT (LESS THAN 10 KNOTS) INTO EVENING. SHOULD
SEE SOME SNOW SHOWERS REDEVELOP LATER TONIGHT...BUT THAT WILL BE
AFTER THE END OF THE CURRENT TAF PERIOD.

&&

.MARINE...
ISSUED AT 349 PM EST SAT NOV 23 2013

NORTHWEST GALE FORCE GUSTS WILL PERSIST ON THE LAKES THROUGH THIS
