AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
1237 PM EST WED FEB 6 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 408 AM EST WED FEB 6 2013

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION TODAY BRINGING AN END TO
THE LAKE EFFECT SNOW THAT HAS BEEN HANGING ON NORTHERN MICHIGAN.
HOWEVER...TONIGHT AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING IN TEXAS WILL
LINK UP WITH AN ALBERTA CLIPPER SO THAT SNOW WILL BREAK OUT OVER
CENTRAL AND NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN. THIS SYSTEM HAS THE POTENTIAL
TO PRODUCE MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW...ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF M-32. THIS
SYSTEM WILL DROP SNOW THROUGH THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT...BEFORE
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BACK INTO THE REGION.

&&

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1105 AM EST WED FEB 6 2013

BROAD HIGH PRESSURE SITTING ACROSS THE REGION TODAY LEADING TO
SUNSHINE FOR AT LEAST A PORTION OF THE CWA THIS MORNING. STILL
SOME LIGHT LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS/FLURRIES IMPACTING A PART OF
NW LOWER MICHIGAN. LAST BIT OF LAKE SNOWS HAVE BEEN SHIFTING
TOWARD THE TIP OF THE MITT COUNTIES OVER THE LAST FEW HOURS WITH
THE LOW LEVEL FLOW BACKING TOWARD SOUTHWEST.

REST OF TODAY...RELATIVE QUIET BEFORE THE STORM IF YOU WILL. LIGHT
SNOW SHOWERS/FLURRIES WILL SHIFT UP INTO THE STRAITS/MACKINAC
COUNTY THIS AFTERNOON...BUT WITH VERY LITTLE ACCUMULATION IF ANY.
SOME SUNSHINE ACROSS THE REGION...ALTHOUGH I SUSPECT WE GET SOME
CU/STCU TO FILL IN THIS AFTERNOON THANKS TO DAYTIME "HEATING."

LOOKING AHEAD TO TONIGHT...NO BIG CHANGES IN THE AVAILABLE 12Z
GUIDANCE AT LEAST IN TERMS OF THE HEAVIEST SNOWFALL PLACEMENT.
LIGHT WARM ADVECTION SNOWFALL WILL SPREAD WEST TO EAST INTO THE
CWA THROUGH THE COURSE OF TONIGHT. INITIALLY...SNOWFALL WILL BE ON
THE LIGHTER SIDE THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING. BEST SNOWFALL LOOKING
TO OCCUR THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING AS THE LOW TO
MID LEVEL CIRCULATION TIGHTENS AND ROLLS UP THROUGH SE LOWER
MICHIGAN PLACING THE BEST F-GEN RESPONSE UP THROUGH THE S/SE PART
OF THIS CWA INTO CENTRAL LOWER MICHIGAN. HAVE TWEAKED FORECAST
SNOWFALL AMOUNTS JUST A BIT AND HAVE A THREE PERIOD COMBINED
SNOWFALL TOTAL (TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT) OF 8 TO 10 INCHES
FROM HARRISVILLE TO CADILLAC AND AREAS SOUTH...GREATEST ACROSS
GLADWIN AND ARENAC COUNTIES AND AGAIN WITH THE HEAVIEST THURSDAY
AFTERNOON THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING. NO HEADLINE DECISIONS
YET...BUT SUSPECT WE WILL HAVE A WARNING ACROSS THE SE COUNTIES
WITH THE REST OF THE WATCH COUNTIES GOING INTO ADVISORIES. BUT
WILL WAIT TO SEE WHAT THE REST OF THE 12Z GUIDANCE HAS TO SAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 408 AM EST WED FEB 6 2013

UPPER LEVEL FLOW OFF THE PACIFIC STARTING TO BECOME MORE DOMINANT
ACROSS THE WESTERN/CENTRAL U.S. EARLY THIS MORNING...UNDERCUTTING
ARCTIC JET BRANCH ROTATING BENEATH A POLAR VORTEX OVER JAMES BAY.
BROADLY ANTICYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT AND HEIGHT RISES SPREAD ACROSS THE
PLAINS/MIDWEST.  MIDNIGHT SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS A 1006MB LOW ALONG
THE ONTARIO/QUEBEC BORDER WITH A TRAILING COLD FRONT BACK TO THE
SOUTHWEST ACROSS FAR SOUTHEAST LOWER MICHIGAN/NORTHERN PORTIONS OF
INDIANA AND ILLINOIS.  1020MB HIGH WAS PARKED OVER THE MID/UPPER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.  NORTHWEST FLOW LAKE SNOW BANDS COMING IN OFF
ALL THREE LAKES EARLY THIS MORNING IN THE WAKE OF THE DOWNSTREAM
SURFACE LOW...WITH WARM ADVECTION CLOUDS SPILLING SOUTHEAST ACROSS
THE DAKOTAS/MINNESOTA AND ADJACENT AREAS OF MANITOBA/NORTHWEST
ONTARIO.

ANTICYCLONIC FLOW/HEIGHT RISES WILL BUILD INTO THE UPPER LAKES TODAY
AS JET AXIS CROSSES MICHIGAN THIS AFTERNOON...AND EVENTUALLY MOVING
INTO A POSITION PUTTING MICHIGAN IN THE JET ENTRANCE REGION
TONIGHT.  SURFACE HIGH ACROSS THE MIDWEST WILL SLIDE EAST INTO THE
REGION TODAY...AND GIVE WAY TONIGHT AS WARM ADVECTION PATTERN SETS
UP ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA.  SHORT TERM FORECAST CONCERNS WILL DEAL
WITH NUISANCE LINGERING LAKE EFFECT TODAY...THEN SNOW EVOLUTION
TONIGHT WITHIN ISENTROPIC ASCENT PATTERN.

AS SURFACE HIGH BUILDS EAST OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS AND LOW
LEVEL WIND FIELDS WEAKEN...EXPECT ORGANIZATION OF CURRENT LAKE SNOW
BANDS TO WEAKEN AS WELL (LOSS OF LAKE SUPERIOR EFFECTIVE FETCH WILL
HELP).  CAN SEE SOME LINGERING SNOW SHOWERS IN THE WHITEFISH BAY
VICINITY MUCH OF THE DAY.  OUTSIDE OF THAT...WARM ADVECTION AC/AS
DECK ALREADY SPREADING ACROSS WESTERN LAKE SUPERIOR AND WILL INVADE
THE UPPER PENINSULA AND TIP OF THE MITT COUNTIES LATER THIS
MORNING...WITH MORE CLOUDS SPREADING INTO THE REST OF NORTHERN LOWER
DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING HOURS.  DAYTIME HIGHS TODAY
FROM THE TEENS-LOWER 20S EASTERN UPPER...WITH MAINLY 20S ACROSS
NORTHERN LOWER.

AS WARM ADVECTION RAMPS UP AND LOW LEVEL MOISTURE INFLOW
INCREASES...DEEP LAYER SATURATION EXPECTED TO TAKE PLACE DURING THE
EVENING HOURS.  THIS WILL GET SNOWFALL GOING ACROSS THE ENTIRE
FORECAST AREA BY MIDNIGHT OR SHORTLY THEREAFTER...AND WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.  LIQUID QPF AMOUNTS FOR TONIGHT
EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM AROUND A TENTH OF AN INCH ACROSS EASTERN
UPPER (WHERE PRECIPITATION INTENSITY MAY BE IMPACTED BY DOWNWARD
BRANCH OF A LOW-MID LEVEL FRONTOGENETIC CIRCULATION) ...AND
0.10-0.25 INCH FOR NORTHERN LOWER (HIGHEST WEST OF AN ACB-HTL LINE
CLOSER TO FRONTOGENETIC UPWARD FORCING).  SNOW-LIQUID RATIOS AT
FIRST GLANCE SHOULD VARY FROM NORTH TO SOUTH DUE TO ORIENTATION OF
THERMAL GRADIENT/WARM ADVECTION...BUT BETTER FORCING AT FAVORABLE
DENDRITIC GROWTH TEMPERATURES WILL BE FARTHER SOUTH.  SO POSSIBLE
THAT SNOW RATIOS WILL BE SOMEWHAT MORE UNIFORM AND WILL GO A LITTLE
HIGHER THAN CLIMATOLOGY (WHICH IS AROUND 14:1).  HAVING THIS IN
MIND...WILL GO WITH 1-2 INCHES FOR EASTERN UPPER AND FAR NORTHEAST
LOWER MICHIGAN...AND 2-3/2-4 INCHES ELSEWHERE (3-4 INCHES ALONG/WEST
OF M-37 CORRIDOR).  AS THIS WILL DOVETAIL INTO THE LONGER TERM
FORECAST...WINTER STORM WATCHES WILL BE ISSUED SPANNING THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS TONIGHT AND CONTINUING THURSDAY (MORE DETAILS BELOW).

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 408 AM EST WED FEB 6 2013

THURSDAY...THE 500 MB SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVES INTO WISCONSIN BY 00Z
WITH THE SFC HIGH NE OF THE REGION AND THE SFC TROUGH/SFC LOW MOVING
UP THE OHIO VALLEY. THIS IS PRODUCING STRONG ISENTROPIC LIFT OVER
LOWER MICHIGAN, AND IS ALSO COUPLED WITH THE RRQ OF THE 500 MB JET
STREAK, THE CORE OF WHICH 80-100 KNOTS IN QUEBEC. THIS SYSTEM ALSO
IS TAPPING THE GULF MOISTURE THROUGH THE DAY WITH THE MOISTURE AXIS
FOR THE 850 MB LEVEL AND THE 700-500 MB LAYER LAYING OUT OVER C
LOWER. THE 500 MB SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING INTO THE REGION, WILL HELP
TO KEEP THE DYNAMIC LIFT GOING, AIDING THE ISENTROPIC LIFT. WITH ALL
THESE FACTORS, IT LOOKS LIKE MODERATE SNOW SOUTH OF M-72, TO
POSSIBLY HEAVY AMOUNTS NEAR M-55, ESPECIALLY IN THE AFTERNOON. LIGHT
NORTH OF M-72 AND MINOR AMOUNTS IN E UPPER. SO BASED ON THAT WE WILL
HAVE WINTER STORM WATCH FOR AREAS SOUTH OF M-72. WILL START IT
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AFTER MIDNIGHT WHEN THE SNOW WILL START WITH THE
ISENTROPIC AND DYNAMIC LIFT AS DISCUSSED EARLIER.

THURSDAY NIGHT...FOR THE EVENING, THE ISENTROPIC LIFT AND THE 500 MB
SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE MODERATE SNOW IN THE SE
COUNTIES, SO BASICALLY EAST OF I-75 AND SOUTH OF M-72. 850 MB
TEMPERATURES ARE BORDERLINE FOR LAKE ENHANCEMENT (AROUND -11C OR
-10C) AND WITH THE NORTH CHANNEL AND THE A GOOD PORTION OF GEORGIAN
BAY FROZEN, THE FETCHES ACROSS LAKE HURON IN NE LOWER WILL BE
DIFFICULT TO GET SIGNIFICANT BANDS, BUT THERE WILL PROBABLY BE A
LITTLE ENHANCEMENT, TRIED TO UP SOME OF THE AMOUNTS ALONG THE LAKE
HURON SHORE. SO WILL STRETCH THE WATCH OUT TO MIDNIGHT
THURSDAY/FRIDAY. AFTER MIDNIGHT, THINGS BEGIN TO QUICKLY DRY OUT AS
THE SFC LOW MOVES INTO WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA, AND THE 500 MB
SHORTWAVE MOVES EAST OF LAKE HURON. THIS TAKES THE 700-500 MB LAYER
MOISTURE OUT OF THE REGION. THE 850 MB TEMPERATURES FALL BACK BELOW
-10C BY 12Z AS WELL. WINDS WILL BE TRICKY WITH NE WINDS IN NW LOWER,
AND MAYBE NNE. THIS COULD BRING SOME LAKE SNOW TO NW LOWER. ADDED
SOME MINOR AMOUNTS THERE OVERNIGHT.

FRIDAY...HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SFC, AND THE 500 MB HEIGHTS ARE
BUILDING. MOISTURE AT 850 MB IS LESS THAN 10% AND THE 700-500 MB
LAYER RH IS LESS THAN 40%. SO THE SKY WILL PROBABLY CLEAR, PARTLY
SUNNY AT THE LEAST. OVERNIGHT, WILL BE DRY AS WELL, WITH SOME HIGH
CLOUDS IN E UPPER AS THE NEXT SYSTEM TRIES TO GET SOME MOISTURE OVER
THE 500 MB RIDGE AND INTO THE UPPER GREAT LAKES.

EXTENDED (SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)...LOOKING AT THE DETERMINISTIC
MODELS IN THE EXTENDED, THE GFS HAS NOW COME ON BOARD WITH THE ECMWF
TRACK THAT IT WAS ADVERTISING FROM THE 04/12Z RUN, AND SUBSEQUENTLY
THE 05/00Z AND 05/12Z. HOWEVER, WITH THE NEW 06/00Z ECMWF, THE SFC
LOWS ARE NOW TOGETHER. SO THE FORECAST WILL GO LIKE THIS...SATURDAY,
THE RETURN FLOW GETS GOING IN THE MORNING AND GOES THROUGH THE DAY.
850 MB TEMPERATURES GET TO AROUND -5C BY 00Z NEAR THE STRAITS, AND
0C NEAR LDM. MOISTURE BEGINS TO MOVE INTO THE REGION NEAR E UPPER BY
00Z. THE DAY LOOKS DRY FOR THE MOST PART, AS THE GFS HAS BACKED OFF
ON ITS QPF WHICH LOOKS MORE OF WHAT I WOULD EXPECT WITH THE PATTERN.
THE MOISTURE STILL LOOKS UNCOORDINATED WITH THE 700-500 MB RH MAX
OVER THE DRY AIR AT 850 MB OR VICE VERSA DEPENDING ON THE MODEL. SO
WILL BACK OFF THE CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION. SUNDAY, THE DAY SHOULD
BE DRY AS THE MODELS STILL HAS THE STORM SYSTEM WELL TO THE SW. WILL
HAVE TO TO STEP THE POPS DOWN MORE AS THE ECMWF HAS HELD STEADY WITH
THE PRECIPITATION MOVING INTO THE REGION DURING THE DAY, AND THE GFS
HAS NOW FOLLOWED SUIT. THE MAIN THRUST OF PRECIPITATION WILL BE
OVERNIGHT AS THE SFC LOW MOVES THROUGH THE UPPER GREAT LAKES. THE
GFS, DESPITE NOT HAVING THIS FEATURE YESTERDAY, STILL IS ABOUT 100
MILES WEST WITH THE SFC LOW. IF THIS IS THE CASE THEN THE MIX OF
RAIN WILL GET INTO E UPPER. HOWEVER, WILL CONTINUE WITH THE ECMWF'S
MORE CONSISTENT TRACK. MONDAY, THE MODELS BEGIN TO GET IN LINE AGAIN
WITH THE TRACK TO A CERTAIN EXTENT PUSHING THE SFC LOW INTO QUEBEC
BY 00Z. IF THE ECMWF IS RIGHT THERE, WHICH IS THE COLDER OF THE TWO
MODELS AT 850 MB, THEN THERE COULD BE SOME N TO NNW FLOW LAKE
EFFECT. GFS IS STILL -8C TO -6C EVEN IN E UPPER, SO NO LAKE EFFECT
IF THIS IS THE CASE. HOWEVER, OVERNIGHT, THE MOISTURE BEGINS TO EXIT
QUICKLY SO IF THERE IS ANY INSTABILITY, THERE WON'T BE MUCH SYNOPTIC
MOISTURE TO WORK WITH. TUESDAY, HIGH PRESSURE AND DRY AIR. LOOKS
LIKE A DRY DAY.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY AFTERNOON)
