AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
947 PM EST FRI FEB 21 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 412 PM EST FRI FEB 21 2014

THE PLAINS STORM SYSTEM WHICH MOVED INTO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES
EARLY FRIDAY...WILL SLOWLY LIFT NORTH INTO HUDSON BAY THIS
WEEKEND. THIS PATTERN WILL CONTINUE TO GENERATE WIDESPREAD BLOWING
SNOW AND GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS ACROSS NORTHERN MICHIGAN TONIGHT.
SOME LAKE INDUCED SNOWS WILL LINGER OVER THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES
THIS WEEKEND...WHILE SOUTHWEST WINDS SLOWLY DIMINISH BY SUNDAY.

ANOTHER EXTREMELY COLD ARCTIC AIR MASS IS PROGGED TO PLUNGE INTO
THE GREAT LAKES AND UPPER MIDWEST NEXT WEEK. THIS PATTERN WILL
BRING A RETURN TO THE SINGLE DIGIT AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPERATURES...
WITH OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES WELL BELOW ZERO BY THE MIDDLE OF
NEXT WEEK.

&&

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 947 PM EST FRI FEB 21 2014

THOUGH OUR STRONGER DYNAMICS HAVE DEPARTED...LOCALLY HEAVY SNOW
CONTINUES TO FALL BETWEEN APX AND PLN. THIS IS EXACTLY WHERE ONE
WOULD EXPECT IT IN W/WSW FLOW ON NORTHERN LAKE MI...IF WE DIDN/T
HAVE A TON OF ICE COVER OUT THERE. OR DO WE? WE KNOW THAT THE
STRONG WINDS OF THE LAST 24-36 HOURS HAVE REMOVED /SOME/ OF THAT ICE
COVER (WITH THE LEELANAU CO COAST LOSING SOME OF ITS ICE CAVES).
HOW MUCH...WE DON/T KNOW...BUT THE LAKE RESPONSE (IF THAT IS
INDEED WHAT IT IS) IS IMPRESSIVE.

WITH INDIAN RVR/WOLVERINE ALREADY AROUND 7 INCHES...WILL SHORTLY
UPGRADE A HANDFUL OF FAR NORTHERN LOWER COUNTIES TO WARNINGS.
ALMOST FEELS LIKE A CASE OF LOCKING THE BARN DOOR A BIT TOO
LATE...BUT IT/S JUST SNOWING TOO HARD TO BE HAPPY W/O A STRONGER
HEADLINE. THINGS WILL CERTAINLY DIMINISH IN THAT AREA DURING THE
DAY SATURDAY AS DRIER MID-LEVEL AIR FINALLY CREEPS FURTHER NORTH.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 709 PM EST FRI FEB 21 2014

MOST OF THE HEADLINES SCHEDULED TO RUN OUT AT 7 PM HAVE BEEN
ALLOWED TO DO SO. HOWEVER...WITH HEAVIER SNOW STILL EXTENDING
WELL EAST OF I-75 IN NORTHERN LOWER...HAVE PUSHED THE ADVISORY FOR
ROGERS-ATLANTA-MIO DEEPER INTO THE EVENING. THE HEAVIER SNOW
ELEMENTS THAT CONTINUE OVER THE TIP OF THE MITT COUNTIES ARE
CONCERNING. GIVEN THAT THE DRIER AIR DOESN/T MAKE IT THAT FAR
NORTH UNTIL VERY LATE TONIGHT...AND GUSTY WINDS AND BLSN WILL
CONTINUE (THOUGH NOT AS STRONG AS EARLER)...WILL NEED TO CONSIDER
EXTENDING NORTHERN SECTIONS LONGER INTO THE NIGHT. WILL STEW OVER
THAT A BIT LONGER.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 412 PM EST FRI FEB 21 2014

WINTER THAT JUST KEEPS ON GIVING...IN A WORST POSSIBLE WAY. HIGH
IMPACT COMBINATION OF STRONG WINDS...WIDESPREAD SNOW SHOWERS...AND
WIDESPREAD BLOWING SNOW RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANT TRAVEL IMPACTS
ACROSS MUCH OF NORTHERN MICHIGAN THIS AFTERNOON. CULPRIT BEHIND SUCH
IS SLOWLY FILLING DEEP LOW PRESSURE MOVING NORTH OFF THE NORTH SHORE
OF LAKE SUPERIOR. STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT AND BACKSIDE
MOISTURE/DEFORMATION RESULTING IN THE ONGOING WINTER WEATHER
EVENT...AND SHOULD CONTINUE TO DO SO FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS
AFTERNOON. SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTH...AS WILL ITS
ASSOCIATED DEEPER MOISTURE. THIS WILL RESULT IN SLOWLY IMPROVING
CONDITIONS HEADING THROUGH TONIGHT. FORECAST CONCERNS CONTINUE TO
REVOLVE AROUND WIND/SNOW SHOWER TRENDS AS WELL AS HEADLINE DECISIONS.

STRONG MOISTURE GRADIENT NOTED ON SATELLITE IMAGERY SLOWLY MOVING
NORTH ACROSS CENTRAL LAKE MICHIGAN INTO SOUTHWEST MICHIGAN...WITH
CLEAR SKIES JUST TO THE SOUTHWEST OF THIS AXIS. THIS DELINEATION
WILL CONTINUE TO ADVANCE STEADILY NORTH...ADVANCING UP INTO THE TIP
OF THE MITT THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT. SNOW SHOWERS...MARGINALLY LAKE
ENHANCED...WILL CONTINUE ACROSS NORTHWEST LOWER/EASTERN UPPER
MICHIGAN...WITH DRY AIR STEADILY ENDING COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OF
SNOW SHOWERS AS IT ADVANCES NORTH. STILL EXPECT ANOTHER
INCH...PERHAPS TWO...IN NORTHWEST LOWER AND EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN
WHERE UPSLOPE/MOISTURE IS MAXIMIZED AND MINOR LAKE CONTRIBUTIONS
CONTINUE. OTHER...AND PERHAPS BIGGER STORY...REMAINS THE WINDS.
DESPITE STEADY DEPARTURE OF LOW...TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT REMAINS.
CORE OF STRONGEST WINDS ENDS THIS EVENING...BUT CONDITIONS REMAIN
GUSTY RIGHT THROUGH TONIGHT...WITH SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 25 TO 30 MPH
REMAINING COMMON...ESPECIALLY NEAR LAKE MICHIGAN. BLOWING/DRIFTING
SNOW WILL CONTINUE...ESPECIALLY THIS EVENING.

HEADLINE MANAGEMENT: KINDA A TOUGH ONE...WITH INHERITED HEADLINES
SET TO EXPIRE AT 7 PM. THIS LOOKS LIKE A GREAT CALL FOR WIND
ADVISORY AREAS OF NORTHEAST LOWER AS CORE OF STRONGEST WINDS DEPART.
NOT SUCH AN EASY DECISION FOR NORTHWEST LOWER AND EASTERN UPPER...AS
DESPITE A GRADUAL EASING OF CURRENT CONDITIONS...REPORTS HAVE BEEN
MANY OF EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS...WITH NUMEROUS
ACCIDENTS AND EVEN SOME ROAD CLOSURES. WILL MAKE A LAST MINUTE CALL
BASED ON TRENDS...BUT CURRENT THOUGHT IS TO EXTEND AT LEAST PARTS OF
THE ABOVE AREA FOR A FEW MORE HOURS...GIVING SOME FLEXIBILITY TO THE
ONCOMING AFTERNOON CREW.

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 412 PM EST FRI FEB 21 2014

...LINGERING SNOW SHOWERS AND WIND INTO THE WEEKEND/BITTER COLD
NEXT WEEK...

HIGH IMPACT WEATHER POTENTIAL: SNOW SHOWERS AND SOME BLOWING SNOW
WITH GUSTY WINDS SATURDAY. TURNING COLD NEXT WEEK...BITTER COLD
TEMPERATURES AND WIND CHILLS FROM WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

PATTERN SYNOPSIS/FORECAST: FOUR WAVE HEMISPHERIC PATTERN WITH A LONG
WAVE TROUGH BEING CARVED OUT OVER CENTRAL NORTH AMERICA...AND
RIDGING STARTING TO PUMP UP OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC AND INTO
ALASKA.  CONCURRENT WITH THIS IS THE BREAKDOWN OF NARROW RIDGING
THAT SPANNED THE POLAR REGION...REPLACED BY AN UPPER LOW AND PULLING
SHORT WAVE ENERGY ACROSS THE EASTERN HEMISPHERE ARCTIC AND ONTO OUR
SIDE OF THE GLOBE.  THE COMBINATION OF THESE TWO FEATURES WILL SET
THE STAGE FOR MORE COLD WEATHER NEXT WEEK AS ARCTIC AIR PLUNGES INTO
THE NORTHERN TIER OF STATES AS A COLD UPPER VORTEX SETTLES ACROSS
ONTARIO/QUEBEC.

CURRENT SURFACE/COMPOSITE ANALYSIS SHOWS SUB-975MB OCCLUDED SURFACE
LOW LIFTING NORTH OF LAKE SUPERIOR...WITH A STRONG CYCLONIC GRADIENT
ENCOMPASSING THE UPPER MIDWEST/GREAT LAKES.  THIS IS ACCOMPANIED BY
STRONG WINDS SOUTHWEST WINDS AND AN AXIS OF COLDER AIR COMING ACROSS
MINNESOTA AND WISCONSIN.  DEEPER MOISTURE WRAPPING AROUND THE
CYCLONE HELPING PRODUCE SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS NORTHERN MICHIGAN.

OCCLUDED SYSTEM WILL BE WELL NORTH OF THE STATE SATURDAY BUT ITS
LARGE CYCLONIC WIND FIELD WILL STILL IMPACT THE UPPER LAKES.  WILL
BE A SIMILAR SETUP FOR SUNDAY AS WELL AS AIR MASS GETS INCREMENTALLY
COLDER WITH TIME...WITH ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE NOSING INTO THE
MISSISSIPPI AND OHIO VALLEYS.  ONLY REAL CHANGE THROUGH THE LATTER
HALF OF THE WEEKEND IS A SLOW BACKING OF BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS TO A
MORE WEST/NORTHWEST DIRECTION.

PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERNS: LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS THROUGH THE
WEEKEND.  GUSTY WINDS SATURDAY AND RESULTANT BLOWING SNOW/WIND CHILL
ISSUES.

SATURDAY/SUNDAY...SOUTHWEST BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW WILL CONTINUE INTO
SATURDAY...WITH JUST ENOUGH COLD AIR AND INSTABILITY OVER LAKE
MICHIGAN AND CYCLONIC FLOW TO CONTINUE WITH SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS MUCH
OF THE FORECAST AREA...THE EXCEPTION MAY BE OVER THE FAR SOUTHEAST
CORNER OF THE FORECAST AREA.  STRONG WINDS OF TODAY SHOULD AID LAKE
SNOW DEVELOPMENT BY BUSTING UP SOME OF THE ICE COVER ON THE LAKE AND
ALLOWING FOR A LITTLE BETTER HEAT/MOISTURE FLUX ESPECIALLY OVER THE
FAR NORTHERN END OF THE LAKE.  LITTLE CHANGE IN THIS SETUP IS
EXPECTED GOING INTO SATURDAY NIGHT...WITH LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS
ANTICIPATED.  BRISK WEST/SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE SATURDAY WITH
WIND GUSTS STILL IN THE 25-30+MPH RANGE...SO SOME BLOWING SNOW WILL
STILL BE AROUND ALONG WITH WIND CHILLS IN MANY SPOTS FALLING INTO
THE SINGLE DIGITS WITH HIGHS RANGING FROM THE MID TEENS TO MID 20S
(WARMEST NEAR SAGINAW BAY).  SUNDAY LOOKS THE SAME AS WELL...MOSTLY
NUISANCE SNOW SHOWERS AS WINDS SLOWLY BACK TOWARD MORE OF A WEST-
NORTHWEST DIRECTION AS AIR MASS CONTINUES TO SLOWLY COOL.

EXTENDED FORECAST (MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)...PRESSURE GRADIENT
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO RELAX INTO THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WORK
WEEK...THOUGH SNOW SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE OFF LAKES SUPERIOR AND
MICHIGAN.  SHORT WAVE FORECAST TO PASS BY MONDAY NIGHT...WHICH WILL
REINFORCE THE COLD AIR ACROSS THE UPPER GREAT LAKES IN ITS WAKE.
DAYTIME HIGHS LIKELY TO SINK BACK INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS BY
WEDNESDAY.

OUTLOOK (THURSDAY/FRIDAY)...COLDER AND COLDER...COULD BE A CHANCE
FOR SOME SINGLE DIGIT BELOW ZERO HIGHS ACROSS NORTHERN LOWER
MICHIGAN BY FRIDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 633 PM EST FRI FEB 21 2014

IMPROVING CONDITIONS TONIGHT. COLD AND GUSTY WESTERLY WINDS.

STRONG LOW PRESSURE JUST NORTH OF SUPERIOR WILL MOVE NORTH TO
JAMES BAY BY SATURDAY MORNING. DEEPER MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH
THIS SYSTEM WILL PULL AWAY FROM THE REGION TONIGHT...LEAVING LAKE
EFFECT CLOUDS/SHSN AS THE MAIN CONCERN BY LATE TONIGHT/SATURDAY.
VSBYS WILL IMPROVE TO MVFR/VFR AT ALL SITES...THOUGH PLN/MBL/TVC
WILL MAINTAIN MVFR CIGS. APN SHOULD BE VFR THRU THE FORECAST.

GUSTY WSW TO W WINDS WILL CONTINUE...WITH LOCALIZED BLSN.
