AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI
349 AM EST MON FEB 18 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 349 AM EST MON FEB 18 2013

A STRONG CLIPPER SYSTEM WILL PRODUCE A PERIOD OF RAIN WHICH WILL
ARRIVE MID TO LATE AFTERNOON TODAY.  THE RAIN WILL CONTINUE INTO THE
EVENING.  THEN A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION AFTER
MIDNIGHT AND SWITCH THE RAIN TO SNOW.  THE SNOW IS EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE TUESDAY ALONG WITH STRONG WESTERLY WINDS.  A QUICK FREEZE
UP IS EXPECTED EARLY TUESDAY MORNING.  THE COMBINATION OF THE FREEZE
UP...SNOW AND WIND WILL MAKE FOR HAZARDOUS TRAVEL ACROSS ALL OF
SOUTHWEST MICHIGAN BY EARLY TUESDAY MORNING AND LASTING INTO TUESDAY
EVENING.

THE SNOW AND WIND WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH INTO TUESDAY NIGHT...WITH
ONLY LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS CONTINUING INTO WEDNESDAY.  ANOTHER CHANCE
OF ACCUMULATING SNOW WILL COME THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 349 AM EST MON FEB 18 2013

NASTY PERIOD OF WEATHER UP COMING...AND WILL ISSUE A WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORY FOR THE ENTIRE CWA.

STRONG CLIPPER TYPE SYSTEM WILL PUSH RAIN OUR WAY BY MID TO LATE
AFTERNOON.  BUT THE MAIN EVENT WILL COME LATE TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY.
THE COLD FRONT APPEARS SLIGHTLY SLOWER...BUT WILL PUSH THROUGH
BETWEEN 06Z AND 09Z TONIGHT.  SHARPLY COLDER AIR WILL TURN THE RAIN
TO SNOW BETWEEN MIDNIGHT AND DAYBREAK AND WILL COME WITH WESTERLY
WINDS OF 30 TO 40 MPH.  ALONG WITH THE QUICK FREEZE UP...EXPECT
SIGNIFICANT BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW THROUGH MUCH OF TUESDAY.

THE SNOW WILL BECOME ENHANCED BY THE LAKE INTO TUESDAY AND THE SNOW
BANDS WILL CARRY WELL INLAND GIVEN THE STRONG WINDS.  SHOULD BE A
I-96 CONVERGENCE BAND BY TUESDAY MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON.  THEN
WINDS VEER TO THE WNW LATE IN THE DAY...WHICH WILL FAVOR THE SW
CORNER OF THE CWA.  INVERSION HEIGHTS BEGIN TO LOWER TOWARD MIDNIGHT
TUESDAY NIGHT AND THE SNOW INTENSITY SHOULD DROP OFF.  HOWEVER
LIGHTER SNOW SHOWERS MAY PERSIST THROUGH MUCH OF WEDNESDAY ALONG THE
LAKE SHORE.

ACCUMS SHOULD NOT BE THAT HIGH.  GENERALLY 1 TO 3 INCHES FOR INLAND
AREAS...AND UP TO 6 INCHES FOR THE LAKE SHORE COUNTIES.  HOWEVER DUE
TO THE COMBINATION OF ELEMENTS...FEEL TRAVEL WILL BECOME HAZARDOUS
AND JUST BE AN OVERALL NASTY PERIOD WITH MODERATE IMPACTS.

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 349 AM EST MON FEB 18 2013

THE MAIN CHALLENGE IN THE LONG TERM DEALS WITH THE TIMING AND TYPE
OF PRECIPITATION FOR THE POTENTIAL STORM FOR THE END OF THE WEEK.

THE CHALLENGING PART OF THIS STORM WILL BE THAT IT WILL BE WEAKENING
AS IT MOVES INTO THE AREA.  THUS THE AMOUNT OF WARM AIR THAT MOVES
IN IS SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN.  FROM A SOUNDING PERSPECTIVE IT APPEARS
THAT THE ENTIRE T TRACE REMAINS BELOW FREEZING THU NIGHT INTO FRI
NIGHT.  THE GFS HAS CONSIDERABLY DEEPER MOISTURE...THROUGH THE DGZ
AT THE ONSET THU NIGHT INTO FRI...BUT THE HIGH RES EURO IS DRIER IN
THE DGZ.  AS A RESULT THE GFS WOULD KEEP SUPPORT SNOW...AND THE HIGH
RES EURO...FZDZ.  BOTH MODELS HAVE SHOWN DECENT CONTINUITY WITH THE
HANDLING OF THE MID LEVEL LOW.  SO...SOME BETTER CONFIDENCE WITH THE
TIMING OF THE ARRIVAL OF THE PRECIPITATION...GENERALLY THU NIGHT FOR
MOST LOCATIONS.  AS FOR THE TYPE OF PRECIPITATION...NOT READY TO
CHANGE THE FORECAST  THIS FAR OUT GIVEN THE SUPPORT OF THE GFS...BUT
THIS IS SOMETHING WE WILL NEED TO MONITOR CLOSELY.

WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN FOR WED NIGHT INTO THU...THE FORECAST
WILL FEATURE DRY AND COLD WEATHER.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1142 PM EST SUN FEB 17 2013

NO SIGNIFICANT WEATHER ISSUES FOR THE SW MICHIGAN TAF SITES
THROUGH MID MORNING MONDAY. WINDS WILL BECOME GUSTY FROM THE SOUTH
BY THEN AS THE STORM APPROACHES FROM THE WEST.

RAIN WILL OVERSPREAD THE TAF SITES IN THE 22Z TO 01Z TIME FRAME.
CONDITIONS WILL QUICKLY GO TO MVFR THEN IFR IN RAIN STRATUS AND
FOG. IT WILL CONTINUE WINDY TOO. THE CHANGE TO SNOW WILL BE AFTER
06Z.

&&

.MARINE...
ISSUED AT 349 AM EST MON FEB 18 2013

WILL CONTINUE THE SCA INTO TONIGHT.  HOWEVER GALES STILL APPEAR
LIKELY BY LATE TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT.  SO HAVE
HOISTED A GALE WARNING STATING LATE TONIGHT.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 349 AM EST MON FEB 18 2013

IT APPEARS A QUARTER TO A HALF INCH OF RAIN WILL ARRIVE FOR THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING.  THEN QUICKLY FALLING TEMPS WILL LOCK MUCH OF
THE LIQUID UP...REDUCING MUCH RUN OFF.
