AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
1203 AM EST MON FEB 18 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 427 PM EST SUN FEB 17 2013

LAKE EFFECT FLURRIES WILL CONTINUE TO TAPER OFF AS HIGH PRESSURE AND
DRIER AIR SWEEP IN OVER THE REGION. MEANWHILE...DEEPENING LOW
PRESSURE WILL WORK INTO MINNESOTA MONDAY...BEFORE TRACKING ACROSS
NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY WITH A POTENTIAL
OF A WINTRY MIX OF RAIN...SNOW AND POSSIBLE FREEZING DRIZZLE THROUGH
MONDAY NIGHT...UNTIL A STRONG COLD FRONT CROSSES OUR NECK OF THE
WOODS TUESDAY...WITH LAKE EFFECT SNOWS REDEVELOPING AND ACCUMULATING
THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

&&

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1027 PM EST SUN FEB 17 2013

NO CHANGES NEEDED OTHER THAN KEEPING UP WITH EARLIER NOTED TRENDS.
LOW CLOUDS ARE OUT OF MOST OF NORTHERN LOWER...WITH THE LAKE MI
COAST...THE STRAITS...AND EASTERN UPPER STILL SEEING SOME.
MEANWHILE...THINNISH CIRRUS IS INCREASING FROM WEST TO EAST. TEMPS
ARE IN SINGLE DIGITS IN MUCH OF EASTERN UPPER...N CENTRAL AND NE
LOWER MI. HOWEVER...WE ARE SEEING A BREATH OF SE WIND AT MANY OF
THE SAME LOCATIONS. THAT HAS SLOWED THE TEMP FREE-FALL...AND
SIMILAR TREND WILL HOLD OVERNIGHT AS THE HIGH CLOUDS THICKEN AND
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS. IN FACT...MOST SITES SHOULD SEE
RISING TEMPS DURING THE LATE OVERNIGHT.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 856 PM EST SUN FEB 17 2013

THE LOW CLOUDS PEELING OUT A BIT AHEAD OF SCHEDULE HAS HAD AN
UNSURPRISING CONSEQUENCE...PLUNGING TEMPS. GRAYLING AND DRUMMOND
ISL ARE BOTH DOWN TO 1F...CAD 6F. INCREASING HIGH CLOUDS AND WARM
ADVECTION OVERNIGHT SHOULD AT LEAST HALT THE TEMP FALL...
BUT HAVE SHARPLY REDUCED MIN TEMPS IN MANY LOCALES.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 714 PM EST SUN FEB 17 2013

NORTHERN LOWER MI HAD BEEN ENJOYING IT/S OWN PERSONAL OVERCAST
LATE THIS AFTERNOON...BUT WE/RE SEEING PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL EROSION
FROM THE SW EARLY THIS EVENING. THAT LENDS CONFIDENCE TO GRADUALLY
SEEING THE LOW CLOUDS EITHER WIPED OUT OR PUSHED OUT OF THE REGION
TONIGHT. ARE STILL A FEW SNOWFLAKES FALLING WHERE THE CLOUD DECK
REMAINS (NEAR/EAST OF M-66). NO MAJOR CHANGES TO THE FORECAST...
SOME TWEAKS TO CLOUD COVER.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 427 PM EST SUN FEB 17 2013

OVERVIEW: SFC RIDGE AXIS DRIFTING OVERHEAD THIS AFTERNOON...
NORTHWESTERLY WINDS ON THE HURON COAST...SOUTHWEST ON THE MICHIGAN
SIDE. HYBRID LAKE AND HEATING INDUCED SNOW SHOWERS IN BETWEEN
BRINGING WHAT AMOUNTS TO FLURRIES TO NRN A GOOD PORTION OF NORTHERN
LOWER MICHIGAN. MAINLY SUNNY IN EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN. UPSTREAM...
LOW PRESSURE NOW ORGANIZING IN THE DAKOTAS. PULSE OF WARM ADVECTION
FORCING PRODUCING AN AREA OF LIGHTER PRECIP IN NRN MINNESOTA OVER
TOWARD LAKE SUPERIOR.

TONIGHT...LOW LEVEL FLOW BACKS S/SW AND INCREASES AS SFC RIDGE AXIS
EASES OFF TO THE EAST AND UPSTREAM LOW ADVANCES INTO MINNESOTA BY
12Z MONDAY MORNING. INITIALLY...THIS WILL BRING WARMER/DRIER AIR UP
INTO NRN MICHIGAN AND SHOULD JUST ABOUT FINISH OFF REMAINING LAKE
EFFECT...SAVE FOR PERHAPS THE WESTERN PART OF MACKINAC COUNTY. THINK
LOWER CLOUDS WILL THIN OUT THIS EVENING AS WARMER AIR WORKS
NORTHWARD AND FLOW TRAJECTORY BACKS SOUTH (NO LONGER OFF THE
LAKES)...ALTHOUGH MID AND HIGH CLOUDS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE.
TEMPS...THERE WILL BE A WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY FOR TEMPS TO DIP
QUICKLY THIS EVENING AS WE LOSE THE LOWER CLOUD COVER. BUT TEMP DROP
WILL BE THROTTLED BY INCREASING LOW LEVEL FLOW JUST OFF THE SFC AND
LIKELY REDEVELOPMENT OF A SFC WIND DURING THE NIGHT. BUT GIVEN THE
COLD TEMPS NOW IT WILL NOT TAKE LONG FOR TEMPS TO DIP QUICKLY. HAVE
FORECAST LOWS PRETTY MUCH COLDER THAN ALL MOS GUIDANCE.

PRECIP: RESIDUAL LAKE INDUCED FLURRIES INTO THE STRAITS AND WESTERN
MACK COUNTY THIS EVENING. MAY GET A LITTLE LIGHT SNOW TOWARD MORNING
IN EASTERN UPPER AND INTO THE TIP OF THE MITT COUNTIES AS INITIAL
WARM ADVECTION FORCING SLIPS THROUGH THE REGION. NOTHING SUBSTANTIAL.

MONDAY...AFOREMENTIONED LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND OCCLUDED FRONT
TRACKS JUST INTO LAKE MICHIGAN BY 00Z SHOVING WARM NOSE ALOFT INTO
EASTERN UPPER/NRN LOWER MICHIGAN (SFC WARM FRONT REMAINS ACROSS THE
LOWER GREAT LAKES). THIS ONCE AGAIN INTRODUCES P-TYPE ISSUES FOR THE
CWA. HOWEVER...AFTER INITIAL PULSE OF WARM ADVECTION FORCING ACROSS
THE NORTH IN THE MORNING PRODUCING SOME LIGHT SNOW...WEDGE OF DRY
MID LEVEL AIR OVERSPREADS THE CWA FOR MUCH OF THE AFTERNOON.
MOISTENS UP IN THE LOWER 3KM BUT THE SATURATED LAYER REMAINS PRETTY
MUCH WARMER THAN -5C SUGGESTING LITTLE OR NO ICE IN THE CLOUDS.

BOTTOM LINE...FREEZING DRIZZLE DEVELOPING DURING THE AFTERNOON
TRANSITIONING SLOWLY OVER TO DRIZZLE FOR SOME AREAS (S/W COUNTIES)
AS SFC TEMPS GRADUALLY CLAW THEIR WAY ABOVE 32F. EVEN SO...COLD

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 427 PM EST SUN FEB 17 2013

LOTS OF WEATHER TO BE CONCERNED WITH OVER THE COMING DAYS. THE FIRST
SYSTEM WILL AFFECT THE REGION MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY WITH LAKE
EFFECT BEHIND IT TUESDAY NIGHT INTO POSSIBLY WEDNESDAY. AFTER A
BREAK IN THE ACTION THURSDAY...ANOTHER WEAKER SYSTEM MOVES UP FROM
THE SOUTH THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY NIGHT. MAYBE ANOTHER BREAK
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY THEN YET ANOTHER SYSTEM LOOKS LIKE ITS ON THE
HORIZON JUST BEYOND THE SCOPE OF THIS FORECAST. THE MAIN LONG TERM
FORECAST FOCUS IS ON PRECIPITATION TYPE AND SNOW AMOUNTS FOR MONDAY
NIGHT INTO TUESDAY.

MONDAY NIGHT...EXTENDED MODELS CONTINUE TO REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT
THAT NORTHERN JET STREAM ENERGY LINKS UP WITH ENERGY IN THE SOUTHERN
STREAM...RESULTING IN A DEEPENING STORM SYSTEM ACROSS NORTHERN
MICHIGAN. LATEST MODELS HAVE INCREASED THE AMOUNT OF MID LEVEL WARM
AIR MONDAY NIGHT LEADING TO PRECIPITATION TYPE ISSUES (SNOW VERSUS
FREEZING RAIN OR JUST PLAIN RAIN). THEREFORE...BASED ON MODEL
SOUNDINGS/CROSS SECTIONS SHOWING +2 C FOR UP TO A 2000 FOOT THICK
LAYER HAVE PUSHED RAIN OR FREEZING RAIN UP THROUGH MUCH OF NORTHERN
LOWER. A MIXTURE OF SNOW AND FREEZING RAIN IS EXPECTED INLAND AND
ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN WHILE PLAIN RAIN WITH A POSSIBLE MIX WITH
SNOW IS EXPECTED NEAR THE LAKESHORES. MEANWHILE..LIGHT SNOW SHOULD
BE THE DOMINANT FORM OF PRECIPITATION ACROSS EASTERN UPPER. THE
MIXED PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO TURN OVER TO ALL SNOW OVERNIGHT
AS COLDER AIR IS DRAWN INTO THE REGION FROM THE NORTH. ACCUMULATIONS
ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM 1 TO 3 INCHES FAR NORTH...WITH AN INCH OR
LESS SOUTH. LOWS IN THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 20S (WHICH SHOULD OCCUR
TOWARD MORNING).

TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT...LAKE ENHANCED SNOWFALL TUESDAY FOLLOWED
BY LAKE EFFECT TUESDAY NIGHT IS EXPECTED DUE TO STRONG COLD AIR
ADVECTION ON THE BACKSIDE OF DEPARTING AREA OF LOW PRESSURE. THE
RATHER TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THE DEEPENING LOW AND STRONG
ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE TO THE NORTHWEST SHOULD LEAD TO GUSTY NORTHWEST
WINDS RESULTING IN BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW. COULD SEE SEVERAL
INCHES OF SNOW ACROSS FAVORED LES AREAS (WNW AND NW FLOW) WITH A
COUPLE OF INCHES ELSEWHERE. TEMPERATURES WILL FALL DURING THE DAY
WITH HIGHS OCCURRING EARLY IN THE DAY (MATCHING LOWS FROM MONDAY
NIGHT). LOWS MAINLY IN THE SINGLE DIGITS TO AROUND 10 ABOVE ZERO.

WEDNESDAY...LINGERING MAINLY NORTHWEST FLOW LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS
EXPECTED TO DIMINISH AS THE DAY WEARS ON AS THE ARCTIC HIGH BUILDS
IN FROM THE NORTHWEST. HIGHS RANGING FROM THE MIDDLE TEENS NORTH TO
THE AROUND 20 SOUTH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY...RIDGING AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT
EXPECTED TO BRING A BREAK IN THE ACTION. IT STILL LOOKS COLD
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS LONG AS IT CAN CLEAR OUT...SO WILL DROPPED MINS
BY A FEW MORE DEGREES WITH LOWS GENERALLY 0 TO 10 BELOW EXCEPT THE
SINGLE DIGITS ABOVE NEAR THE LAKESHORES. HIGHS RANGING FROM THE
MIDDLE TEENS TO THE LOWER 20S.

THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...EXTENDED MODELS CONTINUE TO BE IN
GENERAL AGREEMENT THAT A SYSTEM WILL MOVE SLOWLY NORTHEAST OUT OF
THE SOUTHWESTERN STATES WHILE SHEARING OUT ACROSS THE REGION
BRINGING ANOTHER CHANCE FOR MAINLY LIGHT SNOW AND SNOW SHOWERS. THE
TIMING OF HOW QUICKLY MOISTURE WILL MOVE OUT OF THE REGION IS A BIT
UNCERTAIN. HOWEVER...LATEST MODEL TRENDS HAVE DRIED OUT SATURDAY SO
HAVE LOWERED POPS. HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD THEN ENSURE PRECIPITATION
FREE CONDITIONS SUNDAY. EXTENDED MODELS ARE THEN ADVERTISING ANOTHER
SYSTEM JUST BEYOND THE EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD. HIGHS IN THE MIDDLE
TO UPPER 20S FRIDAY...THE MIDDLE 20S TO LOWER 30S SATURDAY AND THE
UPPER 20S TO MIDDLE 30S SUNDAY. LOWS MAINLY IN THE TEENS.

WILL REMAIN GUSTY THROUGH TUESDAY AS THIS SYSTEM WORKS THROUGH THE
