AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
635 PM EST SUN DEC 21 2014

.NEAR TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 341 PM EST SUN DEC 21 2014

HAPPY WINTER SOLSTICE EVERYONE...THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT DAYS WILL
BE GETTING LONGER FROM HERE ON OUT (NOT THAT ANYONE WILL BE ABLE
TO TELL FOR A WHILE). WEATHER WISE...SHORT WAVE EVIDENT ON WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY ACROSS FAR NORTHERN MINNESOTA AND SOUTHWEST ONTARIO
WILL MOVE NORTHEAST ACROSS LAKE ONTARIO TONIGHT. NOT MUCH
MOISTURE/LIFT DOWN THIS WAY BUT THIS FEATURE MAY SCRAP EASTERN
UPPER...MAINLY CHIPPEWA COUNTY AND WESTERN PORTIONS OF MACKINAC
COUNTY WITH A LITTLE LIGHT SNOW (ONLY LIKE HALF AN INCH AT BEST).
MEANWHILE...LOW CLOUDS REMAIN ENTRENCHED ACROSS THE REGION WHICH
MAY ATTEMPT TO LIFT OUT DUE TO WARM AIR ADVECTION LEAVING AN
EXTENSIVE MID LEVEL CLOUD DECK. MY BET WOULD BE FOR THE LOW CLOUD
DECK TO REMAIN BUT EITHER WAY...CLOUDY SKIES SHOULD CONTINUE
ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA. TEMPERATURES ARE NOT EXPECTED TO DROP MUCH
TONIGHT WITH LOWS ONLY RANGING FROM THE MILD MIDDLE 20S TO MIDDLE
30S.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 341 PM EST SUN DEC 21 2014

...WET TO START THE HOLIDAY WEEK THEN TURNING COLDER...

WEATHER IMPACTS: WINTER STORM POTENTIAL FOR CHRISTMAS EVE/DAY HAS
DIMINISHED IN LATEST MODEL TRENDS. STILL CAUTIOUSLY WATCHING THIS
SYSTEM.

SYNOPTIC OVERVIEW: STRONG PACIFIC JET ENERGY CONTINUES TO POUR INTO
THE PAC NW/BRITISH COLUMBIA REGION THIS MORNING...SQUEEZED BETWEEN
STRONG RIDGING JUST OFF THE SRN CALIFORNIA/BAJA REGION AND A FAIRLY
DEEP TROUGH AXIS ALONG 165W. MID LEVEL FLOW DOWNSTREAM ACROSS THE
CENTRAL CONUS ALREADY STARTING TO BUCKLE TODAY UNDER THE INFLUENCE
OF INCOMING SHORT WAVE ENERGY IN THE NRN ROCKIES (AND A COUPLE SMALL
SCALE WAVES MOVING THROUGH THE PLAINS). ACROSS THE GREAT
LAKES...SUBTLE MID LEVEL RIDGING IS CURRENTLY MOVING ACROSS THE
REGION WITH A RIDGE OF SFC HIGH PRESSURE JUST OFF TO THE EAST INTO
NEW ENGLAND. BUT ABUNDANT STRATUS IS DRAPED FROM THE MIDWEST INTO
NRN MICHIGAN BRINGING A RATHER DRAB WINTER SOLSTICE TO THE NORTH
WOODS.

FORECAST OVERVIEW: PACIFIC SHORT WAVE ENERGY STILL SLATED TO DIG OUT
A DEEP CLOSED SFC AND UPPER LOW ACROSS THE PLAINS OVER THE NEXT 24
HOURS. INITIAL SFC LOW THAT DEEPENS IN THE PLAINS SLOWLY WEAKENS AND
MIGRATES INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST/WESTERN GREAT LAKES BY WEDNESDAY AND
STILL LOOKING TO BRING A ROUND OF (MAINLY) RAIN TO THE CWA MONDAY
NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY...ALTHOUGH THERE WILL BE SOME ICING CONCERNS
INITIALLY MONDAY NIGHT (SEE BELOW). BUT UNFORTUNATELY...THERE REMAIN
MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS SPECIFICALLY AROUND MIDWEEK FOR A HIGH
IMPACT WEATHER EVENT. GUIDANCE TRENDS HAD BEEN BACKING OFF ON THE
STRENGTH OF THIS SYSTEM WITH THE INITIAL SFC LOW/UPPER WAVE
WEAKENING AND MOVING THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES MIDWEEK. BUT...TODAYS
12Z GUIDANCE (GFS AND EURO) ARE MORE AGGRESSIVE IN DIGGING SHORT
WAVE ENERGY DEEP INTO THE SOUTHERN STATES AND GULF COAST THEN
LIFTING THIS WAVE (AND A QUICKLY DEEPENING SFC LOW) UP THROUGH THE
OHIO VALLEY AND CENTRAL GREAT LAKES. OF COURSE...MODEL SOLUTIONS
VARY WITH THE EURO TAKING A BIT MORE EASTWARD TRACK THROUGH LAKE
ERIE...GFS RUNS THIS SYSTEM UP THROUGH LOWER MICHIGAN. YET ONE MORE
POTENTIAL SCENARIOS FOR THE CHRISTMAS EVE/CHRISTMAS DAY TIME FRAME.

MONDAY...PROBABLY THE "QUIETEST DAY" OF THE UPCOMING HOLIDAY WEEK.
MAY STILL BE SOME LIGHT WARM ADVECTION SNOWFALL EXITING THROUGH
EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN INTO ONTARIO EARLY MONDAY MORNING. BUT
OTHERWISE...DRY WEATHER WILL PREVAIL UNDER MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND
INCREASING SOUTHERLY WINDS...WHICH SHOULD FINALLY PUSH TEMPS TO
ABOVE FREEZING FOR MOST AREAS.

MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...SHORT WAVE TROUGH CLOSES OFF AND
DEEPENS THROUGH THE PLAINS/MIDWEST WITH ATTENDING SFC LOW SLIDING
INTO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES. DEEP WARM AIR/MOISTURE TRANSPORT
DEVELOPS AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM MONDAY NIGHT. AIDED BY EXIT REGION
UPPER JET FORCING THAT NOSES UP INTO THE LOWER GREAT LAKES BY
TUESDAY...SHOULD RESULT IN A NICE PUSH OF PRECIPITATION. FORECAST
SOUNDINGS MONDAY NIGHT SUGGEST RAIN FOR NRN LOWER MICHIGAN AND A
RAIN/SNOW TRANSITION ACROSS EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN WHERE UP TO AN
INCH OF SNOW IS POSSIBLE. BUT...WITH SFC TEMPS DIPPING BACK DOWN TO
AT OR BELOW FREEZING MONDAY EVENING...AM INCREASINGLY CONCERNED WE
END UP WITH SEVERAL HOURS OF LIGHT FREEZING RAIN ACROSS THE HIGHER
TERRAIN OF NRN LOWER MICHIGAN AND UP TO A TENTH OF AN INCH OF ICE
ACCUMULATION. NOT ENOUGH FOR A WARNING...BUT SOME TYPE OF ADVISORY
HEADLINE MAY EVENTUALLY BE NEEDED. SFC TEMPS WILL EVENTUALLY REBOUND
TO ABOVE FREEZING BY TUESDAY AND REMAIN THERE THROUGH WEDNESDAY WITH
PERIODS OF LIGHT RAIN/FOG THROUGH THAT PERIOD. ENOUGH COLD AIR COULD
BLEED BACK INTO THE REGION WEDNESDAY TO SEE SOME SORT OF CHANGEOVER
DURING THE DAY. BUT AS MENTIONED ABOVE...A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY STILL
SURROUNDS THE MIDWEEK TIME FRAME.

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 341 PM EST SUN DEC 21 2014

MODELS ARE STILL IN DISAGREEMENT WITH EXACTLY WHAT THIS PRIMARY
SYSTEM WILL DO...BUT ONE THING IS BECOMING CLEAR...THERE SEEMS TO BE
NO GREAT LAKES BOMB THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT. ALSO BEGINNING TO
BE MORE CONFIDENT THAT THE RAIN WILL BEGIN TO CHANGE OVER TO SNOW
DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS OF CHRISTMAS EVE FROM WEST TO EAST. ONCE
TEMPERATURES DO FALL BELOW ZERO AND THE GROUND COOLS ENOUGH FOR THE
SNOW TO ACTUALLY STICK INTO CHRISTMAS AFTERNOON THE WRAP AROUND
MOISTURE IS ALMOST NON EXISTENT AS IT RAPIDLY EXITS EAST WITH THE
DEPARTING SYSTEM. ALL-IN-ALL THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR AT LEAST SOME
PICTURESQUE DENDRITIC FLAKES FALLING CHRISTMAS DAY.

THE SECONDARY STORM SYSTEM LATER IN THE PERIOD TOWARDS THE WEEKEND
STILL IS VERY UNCERTAIN TO WHERE IT WILL TRACK...OR IF IT WILL EVEN
COME TO REALIZATION. WITH TOO MANY POSSIBILITIES TO BEGIN TO EVEN
MENTION...FROM RAIN TO A BIG SNOW MAKER. WILL CONTINUE TO HOLD OFF
UNTIL GREATER CONFIDENCE IS ACHIEVED. TEMPERATURES WILL DROP
THROUGHOUT CHRISTMAS DAY...STARTING IN THE LOW TO MID 30S IN THE
MORNING AND DROPPING INTO THE LOW TO MID 20S BY THE EVENING HOURS.
THE COOLING TREND WILL CONTINUE WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES FRIDAY NEAR
FREEZING...SATURDAY IN THE MID 20S...AND THEN SUNDAY ONLY IN THE
UPPER TEENS TO LOW 20S. LOW TEMPERATURES BOTH FRIDAY AND SATURDAY
MORNINGS WILL BE IN THE UPPER TEENS TO LOW 20S...WITH SUNDAY MORNING
POSSIBLY DROPPING INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS TO LOW TEENS.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN...
EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN...AND ADJACENT NEARSHORE WATERS OF LAKE
MICHIGAN...LAKE HURON...AND LAKE SUPERIOR.

.DAY ONE...REST OF TODAY AND TONIGHT.

NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.

A STORM SYSTEM WILL IMPACT MUCH OF THE GREAT LAKES REGION MONDAY
NIGHT INTO MIDWEEK. THE LATEST TRENDS CONTINUE TO SUGGEST THAT A
MAJORITY OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE IN THE FORM OF RAIN.

HOWEVER...FREEZING RAIN IS LIKELY ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF
NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN MONDAY NIGHT. SLICK TRAVEL IS
POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY ACROSS SECONDARY AND SNOW COVERED ROADS.

RAIN MAY CHANGE TO SNOW WEDNESDAY NIGHT BEFORE ENDING CHRISTMAS
MORNING. AT THIS TIME...LITTLE OR NO SNOW ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED.

THERE REMAINS SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH THE EVENTUAL TRACK OF THIS
STORM...AND ANY CHANGE IN THE FORECAST TRACK COULD LEAD TO A RENEWED
THREAT FOR WINTRY WEATHER OVER NORTHERN MICHIGAN TOWARD CHRISTMAS.
THOSE WITH TRAVEL PLANS SHOULD CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE LATEST
FORECAST INFORMATION.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED THROUGH MONDAY. SPOTTERS ARE
ALWAYS ENCOURAGED TO RELAY PRECIPITATION REPORTS.
