NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI
1241 PM EST WED JAN 30 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 330 AM EST WED JAN 30 2013
TEMPERATURES WILL FALL THROUGH THE DAY TODAY RESULTING IN RAIN
GRADUALLY CHANGING TO LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS AND FLURRIES. IT WILL BE
COLD WITH POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS BEGINNING
TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. THE COLDEST DAYS WILL BE THURSDAY AND FRIDAY
AND TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN BELOW NORMAL THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
&&
.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 330 AM EST WED JAN 30 2013
NUMEROUS SHORT TERM FCST CONCERNS INVOLVE DETERMINING POTENTIAL FOR
SIGNIFICANT LAKE EFFECT SNOW TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY AND DEALING WITH
HYDROLOGICAL/FLOODING ISSUES (PLEASE REFERENCE HYDRO SECTION BELOW
FOR THOSE DETAILS).
KGRR RADAR/SFC OBS INDICATE RAIN ACROSS OUR AREA EARLY THIS MORNING.
THE RAIN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS BEFORE
GRADUALLY TAPERING OFF LATER THIS MORNING. IT WILL BEGIN TO
TRANSITION TO SNOW SHOWERS OVER OUR FAR NW FCST AREA AROUND LDM AND
PENTWATER FIRST AS NNW FLOW CAA STRENGTHENS ON THE BACK SIDE OF THIS
SYSTEM.
LOW LEVEL CRITICAL THICKNESS TOOLS SUGGEST P-TYPE UP AROUND LDM WILL
ALREADY SWITCH OVER TO SNOW BY AROUND 12Z. AN INCH OR TWO OF SNOW
ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED TODAY OVER OUR FAR NW COUNTIES AND PERHAPS
LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS TODAY THROUGH THIS EVENING GIVEN DEFORMATION
ZONE DYNAMICS IN THAT AREA.
PCPN TYPE WILL CHANGEOVER TO LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS/FLURRIES IN THE KGRR
AREA TOWARD MID AFTERNOON AND IN OUR SE FCST AREA TOWARD LAN AND JXN
BY LATE AFTERNOON. HOWEVER WITH THE EXCEPTION OF OUR FAR NW FCST
AREA THE REST OF OUR AREA WILL ONLY RECEIVE UNDER AN INCH OF SNOW
THIS AFTERNOON.
SIGNIFICANT WNW FLOW LES WILL DEVELOP TONIGHT AS H8 TEMPS PLUNGE TO
AROUND -18 C BY 12Z THURSDAY. THE MOST PROLIFIC WNW FLOW LES SHOULD
OCCUR THURSDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT WITH H8 TEMPS OF -19 TO -21
C... DEEP MOISTURE... GOOD UPSTREAM RH AND INSTABILITY ALL IN PLACE.
DGZ DEPTH IS FAVORABLE AS ARE OMEGAS... PARTICULARLY THURSDAY NIGHT
WHEN OMEGAS ON THE ORDER OF 15 MICROBARS/SEC ARE NOTED IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE DGZ NEAR LAKE MI. SIGNIFICANT LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL CONTINUE
FRIDAY.
OUR FAVORED WNW FLOW SNOW BELT REGIONS HAVE POTENTIAL TO PICK UP 6
TO 12 INCHES OF SNOW FROM TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY WITH LOCALLY HIGHER
AMOUNTS IN EXCESS OF A FOOT LIKELY FOR THE COUNTIES ALONG THE LAKE
MI SHORELINE. WE WILL ISSUE A LAKE EFFECT SNOW WATCH FOR OUR WESTERN
TWO TIERS OF COUNTIES FOR TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY.
.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 330 AM EST WED JAN 30 2013
THE OVERALL THEME SEEMS TO BE COLD WITH SNOW INTO SUNDAY THEN A SLOW
WARMING TREND AFTER THAT.
WHILE THE MODELS DO SEEM TO BE IN GOOD AGREEMENT TONIGHT WITH THE
OVERALL PATTERN THERE IS A CLEAR SHIFT TO A MORE SOUTHERN POSITION
OF THE POLAR JET INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. THAT WILL ALLOW FOR A
MORE SOUTHERLY TRACK ON ANY CLIPPER SYSTEMS ON THE NORTHERN STREAM.
THAT HAS ALLOWS ME TO DROP THE MENTION OF RAIN FOR MONDAY.
THERE IS STILL THAT STRONG EAST ASIAN JET NEAR 35N THAT EXTENDS FROM
150E TO 165W AT 30TH/00Z WITH SPEEDS TO 200 KNOTS. LITTLE QUESTION
THAT WILL HAVE SIGNIFICANT DOWNSTREAM IMPACTS AS ALL THAT ENERGY
MOVES INTO WESTERN NORTH AMERICA THIS COMING WEEKEND. IT HELPS TO
RETROGRADE THE POLAR VORTEX FROM NEAR BAFFIN ISLAND (30TH/00Z) TO
WESTERN HUDSON BAY BY SUNDAY. THAT WILL HELP TO KEEP THE POLAR JET
CORE NEAR OR SOUTH OF SOUTHWEST MICHIGAN THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THAT
IN TURN MEANS THE COLD AIR WILL BE DEEP ENOUGH FOR LAKE EFFECT SNOW
THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
A SHORTWAVE MOVES JUST SOUTH OF MICHIGAN SATURDAY AND THAT TURNS
THE BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS MORE WESTERLY. THE MOISTURE STAYS DEEP
ENOUGH AND 850 MB TEMPS COLD ENOUGH THAT A WEST SOUTHWEST WIND LAKE
EFFECT EVENT IS LIKELY. THAT IS FOLLOWED SUNDAY BY A DIGGING JET ON
THE WEST SIDE OF THE POLAR VORTEX THAT BRINGS A DECENT SOUTHWEST
WIND LAKE EFFECT EVENT FOR SATURDAY NIGHT. WITH IS FOLLOWED BY MORE
COLD AIR AND LAKE EFFECT SUNDAY. THEN THERE IS THE MONDAY
SYSTEM...IF THAT CONTINUES TO TRACK FARTHER SOUTH WE COULD HAVE
ANOTHER SNOW EVENT MONDAY.
&&
.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1241 PM EST WED JAN 30 2013
PLENTY OF IMPACT TO AVIATION INTERESTS OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
LOTS OF IFR AND LIFR PRESENT ACROSS THE AREA AT 1730Z. THIS IS ALL
ASSOCIATED NEAR THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MOVING BY JUST TO THE
SOUTH OF I-94. LIGHT RAIN TO DRIZZLE IS ALSO BEING FOUND. AS THE
LOW MOVES SE OF THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON...PCPN WILL BEGIN CHANGING
OVER TO SNOW FROM W TO E. PCPN WILL BE DIMINISHING AS THIS
CHANGEOVER OCCURS...SO NOT A LOT OF SNOW ACCUMULATION THIS EVENING
AT THE TERMINALS.
LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS WILL THEN DEVELOP THIS EVENING. INITIALLY
THE FLOW WILL BE NW...WHICH WILL FAVOR KAZO. THE FLOW WILL THEN
BACK TO WNW AND WILL SLOWLY SPREAD STRONGER SNOW SHOWERS NORTH
THROUGH THU MORNING. WE TRENDED THE TERMINALS THIS WAY WITH IFR
VSBYS AS THE STRONGER SNOW SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE IN. WE
WILL ALSO SEE PERSISTENT WIND GUSTS AROUND 25 KNOTS OR SO...EVEN
OVERNIGHT AND CONTINUING INTO THU.
&&
.MARINE...
ISSUED AT 330 AM EST WED JAN 30 2013
A SCA REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH 18Z AND WE WILL HOIST A GALE WARNING
FOR THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT WITH WNW TO NW GALES OF 35 TO 40
KTS ANTICIPATED.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 330 AM EST WED JAN 30 2013
A FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE LAKESHORE COUNTIES AS WELL
AS LAKE AND NEWAYGO COUNTY WHERE AREAS THAT RECEIVED SUBSTANTIAL LAKE
EFFECT SNOW IN THE LAST WEEK HAD A RAPID SNOW MELT OCCURRING OVER
FROZEN GROUND. RAINFALL TOTALS OVER THE LAST 24 HOURS HAVE BEEN
IMPRESSIVE AND HAVE EXCEEDED TWO INCHES IN SOME AREAS NECESSITATING
THE AREAL FLOOD WARNING.
THE EXPECTATIONS IN THE WARNING AREA ARE THAT WE WILL SEE SMALLER
STREAMS AND RIVERS SPILL OUR OF THERE BANKS...PONDING OF WATER IN
LOW SPOTS OF ROADWAYS AND FLOODING OF CULVERTS...DITCHES AND FIELDS.
THE FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA WHERE THE
SNOWMELT AND ALL THE RAINFALL COULD CAUSE FLOODING ISSUES THROUGH
THE DAY.
