AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
423 AM EST FRI JAN 3 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 412 AM EST FRI JAN 3 2014

AFTER A RATHER QUIET WEATHER DAY TODAY...TEMPERATURES WILL WARM
SIGNIFICANTLY...UP TO MORE SEASONAL VALUES FROM TONIGHT AND INTO
TOMORROW. THIS WILL OCCUR UNDER DEVELOPING GUSTY SOUTHERLY
WINDS...AHEAD OF APPROACHING LOW PRESSURE. THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING
ACCUMULATING SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW TO ALL OF EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN
TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING...WITH LESSER AMOUNTS ACROSS NORTHERN
LOWER. BEHIND THIS SYSTEM...SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY...BITTERLY COLD
AIR WILL BLAST BACK INTO THE REGION...ALONG WITH MORE ACCUMULATING
LAKE EFFECT SNOWS. NASTY WINTER CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED FOR
NORTHERN MICHIGAN RESIDENTS.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 412 AM EST FRI JAN 3 2014

CURRENTLY...SHARP UPPER TROUGH IS EXITING EAST WHILE INCREASING
HEIGHTS AND SUBSIDENCE HAS BEEN ON THE INCREASE. WE REMAIN LOCKED IN
VERY COLD AIR ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES WITH WEAKENING WINDS AHEAD OF
APPROACHING HIGH PRESSURE...WHICH HAS BEEN RESULTING IN THE BACKING
OF WINDS FROM NW TO WEST. EVEN WEAK FLOW HAS BEEN ABLE TO SCOOP UP
LAKE MOISTURE AND FEED IN IN UNDER NEATH OF THE LOWERING INVERSION.
LOW CLOUDS HAVE EXPANDED INLAND UNDER THIS SCENARIO...LIKELY AIDED
BY STRONG BL COOLING. TEMPERATURES WERE WIDE RANGING AGAIN...WITH
CLEAR SKIES RESULTING IN TEENS AND LOWER 20S BELOW ZERO...AND CLOUDY
AREAS STILL CLINGING TO SINGLE DIGITS ABOVE ZERO...BARELY. A
DRAINAGE FLOW OUT OF ONTARIO HAS ALSO RESULTED IN A BIT OF WIND UP
THERE...WITH WIND CHILLS DOWN AS LOW AS -30F. BRRRRRRRRR!

FURTHER UPSTREAM...NICE LITTLE SHORTWAVE IS SEEN PUSHING THROUGH THE
PAC NW...WITH DEEPER MOISTURE SEEN ON WV IMAGERY OUT AHEAD OF
IT...ACROSS MT/DAKOTAS AND SRN CANADA. THE HIGHEST LEVEL CLOUDS WERE
ALREADY PUSHING INTO WESTERN LAKE SUPERIOR..AT THE SFC...LOW
PRESSURE WAS MOVING INTO SRN SASKATCHEWAN...WITH STRONG LOW LEVEL
SOUTHERLY WINDS (ZERO GULF OF MEXICO MOISTURE HELP) BLOWING ACROSS
THE EASTERN DAKOTAS. THERMAL ADVECTIONS WERE RATHER IMPRESSIVE DUE
TO THESE WINDS...RESULTING IN THE GREATEST INGREDIENT IN OVERALL
DEEP LAYER -DIVQ...BUT THERE WAS ALSO A SEMBLANCE OF A DOUBLE JET
STRUCTURE. THIS HAS LED TO SOME DEVELOPING UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE
CO-LOCATED WITH THE THERMAL ADVECTIONS.

TODAY AND TONIGHT...THE LOW LEVEL LAKE CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT
NORTHWARD THROUGH THE DAY...AND INTO EASTERN UPPER AS HIGH PRESSURE
PRESSES EAST AND WINDS TURN OUT OF THE SW. THE INLAND PENETRATING
CLOUDS WILL LIKELY BREAK APART WITH SOME LOW LEVEL MIXING...BUT WE
WILL ALSO HAVE HIGHER LEVEL CLOUDS ALREADY INCREASING THROUGH THE
DAY...ESPECIALLY AFTERNOON. AT THIS TIME...WE WILL ALSO SEE SKIES
THICKENING IN CLOUDS IN WESTERN AREAS AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING LOW
PRESSURE. ADVECTED MOISTURE ALOFT/SYNOPTIC SNOW WILL NOT MAKE A
CONNECTION WITH WHAT SHOULD JUST BE VERY SHALLOW LAKE FLURRIES UNTIL
LATE IN THE AFTERNOON. THIS WOULD BE FOR PORTIONS OF NW LOWER...BUT
ESPECIALLY WESTERN CHIP/MACK. WOULD EXPECT TO SEE SNOWS FLYING BY
LATE AFTERNOON THERE...WITH MAYBE UP TO AN INCH OF SNOW. WINDS WILL
ALSO BE RAMPING UP AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT STARTS TO TIGHTEN...WITH
GUSTS HITTING 20-25MPH AS THE SNOW GETS GOING.

TONIGHT...THE REAL ACTION GETS REALLY RAMPED UP TONIGHT. THE LOW
PRESSURE WILL LIFT FROM THE EASTERN DAKOTAS THROUGH WESTERLY LAKE
SUPERIOR...AND THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS EVEN FURTHER WITH
25-30 MPH GUSTS BEING COMMON ACROSS ALL BUT NE LOWER BY DAYBREAK.
STRONG DEEP LAYER WARM ADVECTION IS MAXIMIZED IN THE EVENING WITH
UPPER DIVERGENCE ALSO MOVING IN FOR THE NIGHT. THE STRONG WARM
ADVECTION WILL DEPLETE THE OVERLAKE INSTABILITY DOWN TO JUST A
MARGINAL STATE BY 12Z...BUT INVERSION HEIGHTS FOR A GOOD CHUNK OF
THE NIGHT WILL AVERAGE 4000 FEET. THERE IS A BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME
WHERE THERE IS A RATHER DEEP DGZ...BUT LIFT IS NOT MAXIMIZED AT THAT
TIME. HOWEVER...THE BEST SYNOPTIC SNOWFALL RATES ON NRN EDGE OF
DEEPER MOISTURE/BEST CLOUD ENHANCEMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THE WARM
FRONT WILL SETTLE IN LONGEST ACROSS EASTERN UPPER/CHIPPEWA COUNTY.
THE COMBINATION OF THE LAKES AND THE SYNOPTIC SNOWS ARE LIKELY TO
RESULT IN A GOOD 4-7 INCHES OF SNOW ACROSS WESTERN SECTIONS OF
CHIP/MACK...WEST OF INTERSTATE 75. LESSER AMOUNTS EAST OF THERE AND
ONLY UP TO AN INCH OF SO ACROSS PORTIONS OF NW LOWER. COMBINE THIS
WITH THE WINDS...AND WE ARE GOING TO SEE A RATHER NASTY WINTER
WEATHER CONDITION OUT THERE. STRONG WIND GUSTS WILL MORE THAN LIKELY
HIT ADVISORY LEVELS ACROSS THE COASTLINE OF NW LOWER TOO. WILL ISSUE
A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY AND HIT THE IMPACT AREAS HARD WITH WORDING
FOR A POSSIBLE UPGRADE TO A WARNING...DUE TO THE WIND FACTOR. WILL
NOT ISSUE THE WIND ADVISORY YET...AS EVEN A LITTLE BIT OF SNOW MIGHT
RESULT IN A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY AS WELL. WILL HIT THE
EXPECTATIONS WITH SPSAPX...HWOAPX...WEATHER STORY GRAPHIC AND THE
BRIEFING TO GET ALL THE MESSAGES ACROSS.

&&

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 412 AM EST FRI JAN 3 2014

OVERVIEW...HEMISPHERIC LONGWAVE PATTERN CONTINUES TO FEATURE LONG
WAVE TROUGH ANCHORED OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF NORTH AMERICA WITH
HIGH LATITUDE BLOCKING.  RIDGING CONTINUES OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC
EXTENDING NORTHWARD INTO ALASKA...HELPING TO DELIVER RE-ENFORCING
SHOTS OF ARCTIC AIR TO THE LOWER 48.   SIGNIFICANT COLD AIR EVENT
TAKING SHAPE EARLY NEXT WEEK AS POLAR VORTEX DROPS INTO THE GREAT
LAKES.  PATTERN SIMILAR TO MID JANUARY OF 1994...WHEN RECORD COLD
SHATTERED RECORDS ACROSS A NUMBER OF LOCATIONS OVER THE UNITED
STATES.  FOR THOSE WANTING A COLD AIR BREAK...MODERATING
TEMPERATURES BY THE END OF THE WEEK AS THE COLDEST AIR RETREATS
NORTH AND LONGWAVE PATTERN DE-AMPLIFIES.

SATURDAY...ALBERTA CLIPPER WILL TRACK EAST ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST
AND LAKE SUPERIOR.  ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE IN ADVANCE OF ARCTIC BOUNDARY
WILL BRING A BAND OF SNOW ACROSS EASTERN UPPER AND WESTERN PORTIONS
OF NORTHERN LOWER.  HIGHEST SNOW ACCUM/S WEST OF I-75 TIED TO
DEEPEST MOISTURE AND POSSIBLY SOUTHWEST FLOW LAKE ENHANCEMENT WITH
SHALLOW LAKE INSTABILITY.  BLOWING SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO BE AN ISSUE
THROUGH AT LAST THE FIRST PART OF THE DAY WITH WIND GUSTS OF 40+ MPH
POSSIBLE /ESPECIALLY ALONG THE LAKE MICHIGAN COAST/.

SATURDAY NIGHT-SUNDAY...ARCTIC FRONT SLIDES EAST OF THE FORECAST
AREA SATURDAY NIGHT WITH VERY DRY AIR SWEEPING INTO THE NORTHERN
LAKES /H8-H7 RH <20%/.  THIS INITIAL SURGE OF VERY DRY AIR AND
SUBSIDENCE WILL INHIBIT MUCH IN THE WAY OF LAKE EFFECT SATURDAY
NIGHT.  BY SUNDAY...FRONTAL WAVE WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE SOUTHERN END
OF THE ARCTIC BOUNDARY OVER THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND LIFT
NORTHEAST INTO THE OHIO VALLEY.  STILL SOME QUESTION AS TO HOW FAR
WEST THE DEFORMATION/F-GEN SNOW BAND ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FEATURE
WILL MAKE IT.  00Z MODELS DRAWING THIS MOISTURE NORTH TOWARD FAR
SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE AREA /STANDISH-TAWAS CITY-GLADWIN/.  THIS IS
SLIGHTLY FURTHER NORTH-WEST THAN SOME OF THE PREVIOUS RUNS.  BECAUSE
OF THIS...WILL INCREASE POPS SLIGHTLY OVER SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE
AREA FOR SUNDAY /INTO SUNDAY EVENING/.  CERTAINLY A SITUATION TO BE
WATCHED AS A SLIGHT JOG NORTH/WEST WITH PCPN WOULD BRING
ACCUMULATING SNOW INTO EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA.

SUNDAY NIGHT INTO NEXT WEEK...SURFACE WAVE PUSHES INTO THE EASTERN
LAKES SUNDAY NIGHT...BRINGING BACKSIDE DEFORMATION SNOW CLOSE TO THE
LAKE HURON COAST /SEE PREVIOUS PARAGRAPH/.  POLAR VORTEX AND
ADDITIONAL SHORTWAVE ENERGY WILL ROTATE INTO THE GREAT LAKES SUNDAY
NIGHT INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.  THIS WILL USHER IN DANGEROUSLY LOW WIND
CHILLS...LAKE EFFECT SNOW...GUSTY WINDS AND BLOWING SNOW.  EXTREMELY
COLD AIRMASS WILL RESULT IN SMALL FLAKE SIZE...WHICH COMBINED WITH
THE GUSTY WINDS...WILL CREATE REDUCED VISIBILITIES AND HAZARDOUS
TRAVEL.  850MB TEMPERATURES WILL PLUNGE BELOW -20C WITH THICKNESSES
FALLING BELOW 500DM.  THIS WILL CREATE TEMPERATURES IN THE SINGLE
DIGITS /ABOVE AND BELOW ZERO/ WITH WIND CHILL VALUES AS COLD AS -30
DEGF.  SOME AREAS WILL LIKELY STRUGGLE TO REACH ZERO FOR A HIGH
TEMPERATURE ON MONDAY.  THIS WILL BE SIMILAR TO THE EXTREME COLD
EVENT OF MID JANUARY 1994...WHERE SEVERAL LOCATIONS IN NORTHERN
MICHIGAN HAD SUB-ZERO HIGH TEMPERATURES.  WILL HIGHLIGHT THESE
POTENTIAL IMPACTS IN THE WEATHER STORY GRAPHIC...HWO AND HAZARDOUS
WEATHER BRIEFING.  LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL CONTINUE INTO THE MIDWEEK
PERIOD AS ADDITIONAL SHORTWAVES ROTATE AROUND MAIN UPPER TROF.
TEMPERATURES WILL MODIFY TOWARD MORE NORMAL LEVELS FOR THE SECOND
HALF OF THE WEEK AS LONGWAVE PATTERN DE-AMPLIFIES.  THIS MAY BRING
ADDITIONAL SNOW CHANCES TO THE AREA WITH WARM AIR ADVECTION.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1100 PM EST THU JAN 2 2014

NORTHERLY FLOW LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT
TVC AND MBL ALONG LAKE MICHIGAN...AND APN ALONG LAKE HURON...
OCCASIONALLY DROPPING CONDITIONS TO MVFR/IFR WITHIN SOME SNOW
SHOWER ACTIVITY. LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL SHIFT TO THE S/SW FRIDAY
MORNING...ENDING LAKE SNOW SHOWERS FOR APN BUT PERPETUATING THE
CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS FOR TVC AND MBL. MAINLY LIGHT NORTHERLY
WINDS TONIGHT WILL BECOME S/SW FRIDAY MORNING AND STRENGTHEN TO
10 TO 20 KTS...AND THEN FURTHER STRENGTHEN FRIDAY NIGHT. LOCATIONS
ALONG THE LAKE MICHIGAN SHORELINE WILL SEE GUSTS OF 30 TO 40 KTS
FRIDAY NIGHT...WITH LOCATIONS INLAND GUSTING TO 20 TO 30 KTS.

&&

.MARINE...
ISSUED AT 412 AM EST FRI JAN 3 2014

HIGH IMPACT MARINE WEATHER DEVELOPS TONIGHT AFTER THE PASSAGE OF
HIGH PRESSURE THIS MORNING/PERIOD OF WEAKER WINDS THIS MORNING. LOW
PRESSURE WILL RACE ACROSS THE U.S. AND CANADIAN BORDER TONIGHT INTO
SATURDAY WITH SOUTHERLY WINDS RAMPING UP TO BRING GALE AND STORM
FORCE WINDS WITH SNOW TO MUCH OF THE GREAT LAKES. THESE WINDS DIE
OFF A BIT INTO LATER SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT...BUT ANOTHER
STRONGER BLAST OF ARCTIC AIR WILL BE POISED JUST OFF TO OUR WEST AND
NORTH. THIS ARCTIC AIR WILL PLUNGE INTO THE GREAT LAKES SUNDAY AND
PRIMARILY SUNDAY NIGHT. THERE WILL LIKELY BE MORE HEADLINES NEEDED
AT THAT TIME. BRUTALLY COLD AIR AND UNSTABLE CONDITIONS WILL
OCCUR.
