AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
1254 PM EST FRI JAN 18 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 449 AM EST FRI JAN 18 2013

A CLIPPER SYSTEM WILL DROP INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS THIS MORNING...
WHILE PUSHING INTO THE GREAT LAKES LATER TODAY. THIS FEATURE WILL
FINALLY EXIT NORTHEAST INTO QUEBEC SUNDAY. THIS PATTERN WILL
GENERATE SOME SNOW OVER NORTHERN MICHIGAN TODAY...WITH MILDER
TEMPERATURES AND A WINTRY MIX POSSIBLE SATURDAY.

COLD AIR AND NORTHWEST FLOW WILL SETTLE INTO THE REGION SUNDAY...ON
THE BACKSIDE OF THE EXITING STORM SYSTEM. THIS PATTERN WILL GENERATE
NUMEROUS OPPORTUNITIES FOR SNOW THIS WEEKEND...THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF
NEXT WEEK. THE GREATEST SNOW ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED ACROSS
TRADITIONAL SNOWBELTS...OF EASTERN UPPER AND NORTHWEST LOWER
MICHIGAN.

&&

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1103 AM EST FRI JAN 18 2013

LOW PRESSURE ANALYZED OVER NORTH DAKOTA THIS MORNING WITH A WARM
FRONT STRETCHING SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH NORTHERN ILLINOIS. STRONG
PULSE OF WARM ADVECTION NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT LEADING TO A
SOMEWHAT WIDESPREAD CORRIDOR OF LIGHT TO OCCASIONALLY MODERATE SNOWFALL
NOW ADVANCING INTO THE REGION. 12Z NAM/GFS AND RECENT RUC40 CROSS
SECTIONS SUGGEST THE STRONGEST UPWARD FORCING WILL DEVELOP OVER
THE NRN HALF OF THE CWA BY EARLY AFTERNOON...MAINLY NORTH OF
M-32...AND PERSIST THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS. OVERALL...LOOKS
LIKE GENERAL 2 TO 3 INCH SNOWFALL ACROSS THE NRN PART OF THE
CWA...INCH OR LESS TO THE SOUTH.

BUT A COUPLE ITEMS OF CONCERN WITH THIS SYSTEM. FIRST OFF...LAKE
ENHANCEMENT POTENTIAL: INITIALLY SOUTHWEST TO SOUTH LOW LEVEL MEAN
FLOW AND STILL PLENTY OF OVER WATER INSTABILITY/COMBINED WITH
SYNOPTIC FORCING AND MOISTURE SHOULD LEAD TO SOME ROBUST LAKE
ENHANCED SNOW SHOWERS PUSHING INTO PARTS OF MACKINAC
COUNTY...BOOSTING SNOW ACCUMS THERE. SECOND...AFOREMENTIONED MODEL
CROSS SECTIONS SUGGEST A RATHER POTENT BULLSEYE OF UPWARD FORCING
ALONG THE FRONTAL SLOPE THIS AFTERNOON OVER THE TIP OF THE MITT
INTO EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN...COINCIDENT WITH THE BEST DGZ (-12C
TO -18C) AND REGION OF REDUCED STABILITY ALOFT. THIS SUGGESTS THE
POTENTIAL FOR A RATHER ROBUST NARROW CORRIDOR OF HEAVIER SNOW
SETTING UP ACROSS THAT REGION. SO...WITH COLLABORATION WITH
MQT...HAVE HOISTED A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR THAT AREA AND
WILL SEE HOW IT GOES.

MEANWHILE...SOME FREEZING DRIZZLE LOOKING LIKE A POSSIBILITY
TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY OVER PARTS OF NRN LOWER MICHIGAN...AND ALSO
HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE POTENT COLD FRONT AND GUSTY WINDS/PLUMMETING
TEMPS SATURDAY EVENING. WILL LIKELY BE ISSUING ADDITIONAL
HEADLINES TO COVER THESE HAZARDS THIS AFTERNOON.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 643 AM EST FRI JAN 18 2013

FORECAST GOING TO PLAN OUTSIDE OF TEMPERATURE TRENDS AND SOME
MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SKY COVER. LAKE EFFECT FLURRIES CONTINUE
TO WANE AS THEY LIFT NORTH INTO FAR NW LOWER. THE STRONGER SNOW
SHOWERS THAT WERE IMPACTING CHIPPEWA COUNTY HAVE INDEED GONE
OFFSHORE...THIS HAS LEFT CLEAR SKIES IN EASTERN UPPER AND SINGLE
DIGIT TEMPS. TEMPS REBOUNDED ACROSS NE LOWER WERE ALSO IN THE
SINGLE DIGITS...WHILE THE MILDEST READINGS WERE ACROSS NW
LOWER...MORE SO IN CLOUD...WHETHER LAKE INDUCED...OR BY INVADING
HIGH CLOUDS AHEAD OF UPSTREAM WARM FRONT. NO CHANGES IN THE TIMING
OF THE SNOW...SHOULD SPREAD THROUGH THE REGION MID MORNING
INITIALLY AROUND TVC...THEN NE INTO EARLY AFTERNOON. NOT LIKING
THE COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OF THE SNOW UPSTREAM ACROSS WISCONSIN
WITH VSBYS ONLY DOWN TO AS LOW AS 1 1/4SM. CLOUD TOPS IF ANYTHING
HAVE WARMED A TOUCH. NOT A GOOD SIGN...BUT DONT FEEL CONFIDENT
ENOUGH TO LOWER ANY EXPECTED SNOW TOTALS FOR THE DAY JUST YET.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 449 AM EST FRI JAN 18 2013

HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SFC IS BEGINNING TO CROSS NRN
MICHIGAN...BEHIND A DEPARTING LONGWAVE TROUGH WHICH HAS BROUGHT US
THE RECENT CHILLY TEMPERATURES AND LAKE EFFECT SNOWS. TEMPERATURES
AT THE SFC REMAIN COLD WITH SINGLE DIGITS IN CLEAR SKIES ACROSS
MACKINAC COUNTY AND NE LOWER. MEANWHILE TEENS WERE OBSERVED IN NW
LOWER WITHIN DECAYING LAKE EFFECT LIGHT SNOWS. THE MODERATE TO
HEAVY SNOWS ACROSS CHIPPEWA COUNTY HAS BROUGHT SOME SIGNIFICANT
SNOWFALL TO THE NRN PORTIONS OF THE COUNTY. ALL SNOW SHOWERS WERE
PUSHING NORTH AS WINDS CONTINUE TO BACK MORE OUT OF THE WEST AND
EVENTUALLY SW BY DAYBREAK. THIS WILL GRADUALLY PUSH THE HEAVY
SNOWS OUT OF CHIPPEWA COUNTY...A PROCESS THAT HAS ALREADY BEGUN
WITH ONLY AREAS AROUND PARADISE AND THE SAULT SEEING SNOWFALL.
ONLY ANOTHER INCH IS POSSIBLE ACROSS THESE FAR NRN SECTIONS OF THE
COUNTY OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. THUS...THE WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORY HAS BEEN CANCELLED. STILL...THESE SNOWS BROUGHT 8-9
INCHES OF SNOW TO THE PARADISE AREA SINCE YESTERDAY.

UPSTREAM...SHORTWAVE ENERGY IS DIVING INTO SRN MANITOBA AND NORTH
DAKOTA...WITH A WARM FRONT EXTENDING FROM LOW PRESSURE IN THIS
AREA INTO SRN MN. LATEST SATELLITE SHOWING A RAPID EXPANSION OF
MIDDLE AND UPPER LEVEL CLOUDS BURIED WITHIN DEVELOPING STRONG
ISENTROPIC ASCENT...HIGHLIGHTED AT 285K WITH STRONG WINDS LIFTING
3+ G/KG MIXING RATIOS PERPENDICULARLY UP STEEP PRESSURE SFC'S.
THESE CLOUDS WERE RAPIDLY DEVELOPING INTO THE GTV BAY REGION EARLY
THIS MORNING...WHILE GENERAL LIGHT SNOWS WERE TRYING TO EXPAND
ACROSS WISCONSIN.

TODAY AND TONIGHT...THE AFOREMENTIONED LAKE EFFECT SNOWS NOT ONLY
CONTINUE TO SHIFT NORTH WITH THE BACKING WINDS...BUT AN INFLUX OF
RELATIVELY DRIER AIR CONTINUES TO EAT AWAY AT THE SNOW...LEAVING
MAINLY FLURRIES IN NW LOWER. THIS LOW LEVEL AIR MASS WILL CONTINUE
TO DRY THROUGH THE MORNING...LEAVING BEHIND LITTLE IN THE WAY OF
LAKE EFFECT SNOWS. THE SAME GOES FOR CHIPPEWA COUNTY...AS THESE
SNOWS WILL MOVE OUT OFFSHORE IN DEVELOPING SW FLOW. THIS LEAVES
LITTLE TO NO LAKE EFFECT PRIOR TO THE ARRIVAL OF UPSTREAM WARM
ADVECTION/ISENTROPIC ASCENT. SKIES WILL RAPIDLY BECOME CLOUDY
ACROSS NRN MICHIGAN BY MID TO LATE MORNING...WITH THE ARRIVAL OF
THE STRONGEST WARM ADVECTION AND SYNOPTIC SNOWFALL OF 1-2 INCHES.
RAPID SATURATION OF THE ATMOSPHERE/SNOWS OCCUR FOR ROUGHLY 4 HRS
WHILE LOW LEVEL TEMPERATURES KEEP OVERLAKE INSTABILITY HIGH ENOUGH
WITH INVERSION HEIGHTS AROUND 3KFT. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR A LAKE
MICHIGAN ADDITION TO THE SNOWFALL...WITH SW WINDS BLOWING THIS
LAKE CONTRIBUTION INTO THE STRAITS REGION. NOT EXPECTING TOO MUCH
LAKE HELP...BUT MAYBE UP TO 3 INCHES IN THIS REGION. THIS SHOT OF
WARM ADVECTION WILL BE RELATIVELY QUICK...WITH MOISTURE BRIEFLY
STRIPPING OUT ALOFT FOR A POTENTIAL PERIOD OF FREEZING DRIZZLE.
INDICATIONS IN LATEST SATELLITE AND MODEL DATA VERIFY A SECONDARY
PUSH OF MID AND UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF ICE
CRYSTALS BEING REINTRODUCED INTO THE LOWER LEVELS FOR THE
CONTINUATION OF LIGHT SNOWS. HAVE MADE A CHANCE TO MOT JUST
MENTION A CHANGE OVER TO FREEZING DRIZZLE...BUT MIX IT WITH LIGHT
SNOW. THE EXTENT OF THIS SECONDARY PUSH OF DEEPER MID AND UPPER
LEVEL MOISTURE IS UNCERTAIN...SO MENTIONING BOTH PRECIP TYPES
SEEMS PRUDENT. THIS HAS AN EFFECT ON HOW FAR SOUTH TO CONTINUE TO
MENTION PRECIPITATION THROUGH THE NIGHT. DID KEEP THE MENTION OF
THE FREEZING DRIZZLE AND LIGHT SNOWS FURTHER SOUTH THROUGH THE
NIGHT (BACK DOWN INTO FAR NRN LOWER). THIS MAY VERY WELL MAY NOT
BE FAR ENOUGH SOUTH...IT'S POSSIBLE THAT MOST ALL OF NRN LOWER
WILL CONTINUE TO SEE PERIODS OF LIGHT FREEZING DRIZZLE AND SNOW
THROUGH THE NIGHT. VERY DIFFICULT FORECAST.

ON A SIDE NOTE...WE WILL OBVIOUSLY BE WARMING IN THIS PATTERN.
HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL REACH THE MIDDLE 20S NORTH TO THE LOWER AND
MIDDLE 30S SOUTH. THESE MIDDLE 30S WILL BE OUT OVER THE LAKES AND
IN DOWNSLOPING REGIONS IN AND AROUND GTV BAY....WHERE THE FREEZING
PART OF THE DRIZZLE WILL BE OUT OF THE EQUATION...SO LESS IMPACT
THERE. WILL HIGHLIGHT THE LIGHT SNOWS AND FREEZING DRIZZLE IN THE
HWOAPX DUE TO THE POTENTIAL HAZARDOUS TRAVEL IMPACTS.

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 449 AM EST FRI JAN 18 2013

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...THE WEEKEND CAN BE SUMMARIZED AS PERIODS OF
SNOW WITH DRASTICALLY CHANGING TEMPERATURES. A CANADIAN CLIPPER
SYSTEM WILL DROP INTO WRN LAKE SUPERIOR SATURDAY MORNING...BEFORE
LIFTING NORTHEAST INTO QUEBEC SUNDAY. AT UPPER LEVELS...A 500MB
TROUGH DROPPING OUT OF CENTRAL CANADA WILL DIG INTO THE GREAT
LAKES SATURDAY NIGHT...BEFORE EXITING NORTHEAST SUNDAY. ADDITIONAL
LIFT SATURDAY NIGHT WILL BE SUPPLIED BY UPPER JET DYNAMICS...AS THE
LEFT EXIT REGION OF A 300MB JET PUSHES OVER THE NRN LAKES. SOME
CONCERN SATURDAY AFTN/EVENING WITH RESPECT TO PCPN TYPE AS CLIPPER
RIDES NORTH OVER LAKE SUPERIOR...ALLOWING WARM 850MB TEMPS TO LIFT
AT LEAST AS FAR NORTH AS CAD AND SAGINAW. ECMWF CURRENTLY TRENDING
THE WARMEST...WITH ABOVE FREEZING TEMPS EXTENDING FROM THE SFC
THROUGH 1300FT AS FAR NORTH AS TVC AND APX SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. HOWEVER ANY WARM AIR LIFTING INTO NRN MI SAT AFTN AND
EVENING WILL BE SHORT LIVED. MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW COLD AIR DROPPING
QUICKLY BACK INTO THE REGION BY 06Z SUNDAY...ON THE BACKSIDE OF
THE EXITING SFC AND UPPER LVL FEATURES. 850MB TEMPS WILL DROP FROM
AROUND -2C/0C OVER NRN MI SATURDAY AFTN TO -20C SUNDAY. LAKE INDUCED
