AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI
1245 PM EST SUN NOV 16 2014

LATEST UPDATE...
AVIATION

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 330 AM EST SUN NOV 16 2014

UNSEASONABLY COLD WEATHER WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEK
WITH SEVERAL MORE CHANCES FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW. LAKE EFFECT SNOW
SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP TODAY AND ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM AND COLD FRONT WILL BRING MORE SNOW SHOWERS TONIGHT. WINDY
AND UNSEASONABLY COLD WEATHER IS ANTICIPATED EARLY TO MIDWEEK WITH
LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 330 AM EST SUN NOV 16 2014

SW FLOW LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THROUGH
THE DAY WITH H8 TEMPS DOWN AROUND -11 TO -12 C AND DEEP LOW TO MID
LEVEL MOISTURE IN PLACE ALONG WITH SOME WEAK TO MODERATE LIFT UP
INTO THE DGZ. NO CHANGES TO OUR ONGOING WINTER HEADLINES ARE
NECESSARY EARLY THIS MORNING WITH KGRR RADAR TREND AND SFC OBS
SHOWING SNOW ACROSS THE ADVISORY AREA.

LOW PRESSURE TRACKING SE THROUGH THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES REGION
AND A COLD FRONT WILL BRING MORE SNOW SHOWERS TONIGHT WITH LIGHT
ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATIONS.

IT WILL BECOME WINDY MONDAY AS WEST WINDS RAMP UP TO 20 TO 30
MPH. WEST FLOW LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS WILL BECOME WIDESPREAD
WITH DEEP MOISTURE IN PLACE AND AS H8 TEMPS FALL TO -16 C MONDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

THE SAME GENERAL WX PATTERN WILL CONTINUE MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH
TUESDAY WITH UNSEASONABLY COLD AND BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS AND
WEST TO WNW FLOW LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS. ADDITIONAL LAKE EFFECT
SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ARE LIKELY MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY WITH
HAZARDOUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS ANTICIPATED ACROSS MUCH OF OUR AREA.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 330 AM EST SUN NOV 16 2014

DEEP UPPER TROUGHING IS IN PLACE ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION TO
BEGIN THE LONG TERM TUESDAY NIGHT. IT REMAINS IN PLACE INTO FRIDAY.
AIR WILL BE PLENTY COLD ENOUGH FOR THE LAKE EFFECT SNOW TO CONTINUE
TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. LIKE THE ECMWF/S SOLUTION IN KEEPING
THE UPPER TROUGH AND COLD AIR A LITTLE LONGER. THE GFS LIFTS IT OUT
A BIT QUICKER.

LAKE SNOWS SHOULD CONTINUE PRETTY MUCH UNABATED THROUGH THE WORK
WEEK OR THROUGH FRIDAY IT APPEARS. MULTIPLE SHORTWAVES WILL BE
ROTATING THROUGH THE UPPER FLOW WHICH WILL ENHANCE LAKE EFFECT AT
TIMES BY PROVIDING SYNOPTIC SCALE LIFT. THESE LOOK TO SWING THROUGH
WEDNESDAY AND AGAIN THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. IT WILL REMAIN COLD
THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.

THE PATTERN SHIFTS TO MORE OF A ZONAL FLOW AS WE HEAD INTO NEXT
WEEKEND WITH A MODERATION IN 850MB TEMPS TO ABOVE ZERO C. LAKE
EFFECT SHOULD END WITH A WARMER LOOKING SYSTEM FOR NEXT WEEKEND.
WARMING UP ENOUGH FOR RAIN THOUGH IS STILL A QUESTION MARK. GFS
IMPLIES WARMER...BUT GIVEN THE PATTERN THIS WEEK I HAVE DOUBTS AS TO
WARMING ENOUGH FOR RAIN NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1245 PM EST SUN NOV 16 2014

TRENDS IN CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS IS
THE MAIN FOCUS OF THE 18Z FCSTS. BAND OF SNOW SHOWERS ORIENTED
FROM WSW TO ENE IS CURRENTLY IMPACTING MAINLY THE KGRR TERMINAL
WITH MUCH BETTER CONDITIONS ON EITHER SIDE OF THIS AT THE
REMAINING SITES. WE EXPECT THE BETTER SNOW SHOWERS WILL TRANSITION
TO MORE OF A SSW ORIENTATION AND WILL IMPACT THE KMKG TERMINAL
MORE SO LATER THIS AFTERNOON WITH IFR CONDITIONS AND BELOW LIKELY THERE.
THE OTHER SITES WILL LIKELY SEE IMPROVING CONDITIONS.

A BAND OF SNOW SHOWERS IS EXPECTED TO SHIFT THROUGH THE AREA FROM
THE WEST TO EAST OVERNIGHT TONIGHT INTO THE MORNING HOURS
TOMORROW. THIS WILL PRODUCE A FEW HOURS OF MVFR CONDITIONS INLAND
WITH IFR CONDITIONS CLOSER TO THE LAKE. A BRIEF BREAK IN THE SNOW
SHOWERS WILL OCCUR LATE MON MORNING BEFORE LAKE EFFECT PICKS UP
TOWARD THE END OF THE PERIOD AND WIND GUSTS INCREASE INTO THE
20-30 KNOT RANGE.

&&

.MARINE...
ISSUED AT 947 AM EST SUN NOV 16 2014

WE HAVE ISSUED A GALE WATCH FOR THE PERIOD FROM LATE MONDAY
THROUGH 18Z TUE FOR THE ENTIRE NEARSHORE AREA. WE WILL BE KEEPING
THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL THE GALE WATCH BECOMES
VALID.

LATEST DATA CONTINUES TO INDICATE THAT THE STRONG COLD AIR
ADVECTION MOVING IN OVER THE WARMER WATERS HAS A VERY GOOD
POTENTIAL TO MIX DOWN GALES BEGINNING TOWARD MON EVENING AND
LASTING THROUGH TUE MORNING.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 330 AM EST SUN NOV 16 2014

NO HYDRO ISSUES ANTICIPATED DUE TO UNSEASONABLY COLD WEATHER
THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEK AND ALL PCPN WILL FALL IN THE FORM OF
SNOW.

&&

.GRR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
