.LONG TERM...(MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 442 AM EST SUN NOV 10 2013

THE MAIN CHALLENGES THIS PERIOD CONCERN THE TIMING OF THE ARCTIC
FRONT MONDAY INTO MONDAY EVENING AND SUBSEQUENT LAKE EFFECT SNOW
SHOWERS. THE GFS CONTINUES TO BE A LITTLE FASTER WITH THE FRONT THAN
THE NAM...AND AS A RESULT BRINGS THE COLD AIR IN QUICKER WITH A
FASTER CHANGE/OVER TO SNOW SHOWERS. HAVE LIGHT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS
OVER MAINLY FAR SOUTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN BEGINNING EARLY MONDAY
EVENING AS SURFACE TEMPERATURES FALL BELOW FREEZING AND AS LOW LEVEL
THICKNESSES FALL UNDER 1300 METERS. CONCERN FOR THE POSSIBILITY FOR
HEAVY LAKE EFFECT SNOW GIVEN LONG LAKE FETCH AND COLD AIR SUFFICIENT
FOR LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS. HOWEVER...NAM NOT IMPRESSIVE WITH
INVERSION HEIGHTS. ALSO...BELIEVE VERY STRONG SUBSIDENCE ABOVE THE
UPPER FRONT WILL HINDER SNOW SHOWER DEVELOPMENT. IN ADDITION...NAM
SUPPORT FOR WINDS BECOMING NORTH/NORTH ALLOWING THE HEAVIER LAKE
EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS TO OCCUR WEST OF THE FORECAST AREA. FOR NOW...
HAVE THE HIGHEST SNOWFALL OVER LAPORTE COUNTY WITH 2 TO 3 INCHES FOR
THE EVENT. OTHERWISE...ONGOING TEMPERATURES APPEAR ON TRACK...WITH
THE COLDEST MORNING WEDNESDAY MORNING.
