AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI
342 AM EST THU JAN 23 2014

LATEST UPDATE...
SYNOPSIS/SHORT TERM/LONG TERM

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 342 AM EST THU JAN 23 2014

COLD AIR WILL REMAIN ENTRENCHED OVER THE AREA THROUGH THE NEXT WEEK.
THIS COLD AIR COMBINING WITH A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE IS BRINGING SNOW
SHOWERS TO THE LAKESHORE AND SOUTHWEST CORNER OF MICHIGAN TODAY.
THIS SNOW WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT. ANOTHER
STRONG AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL PUSH THROUGH THE AREA LATER ON
FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT. STRONG WINDS WILL BLOW AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM
ON FRIDAY BEFORE SNOW THEN DEVELOPS FROM NORTH TO SOUTH. THERE IS A
POTENTIAL FOR NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. COLDER AIR WILL MOVE BACK IN ON SATURDAY WITH POTENTIAL FOR
LAKE EFFECT. ANOTHER SYSTEM COULD BRING SNOW TO THE AREA DURING THE
DAY ON SUNDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 342 AM EST THU JAN 23 2014

QUITE A COMPLICATED SCENARIO FOR THE AREA WITH REGARD TO HEADLINES
OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. WITH THE FCST PACKAGE THIS
MORNING...WE WILL MAINTAIN THE ONGOING HEADLINES FOR LAKE EFFECT
THIS MORNING. WE ARE ISSUING A WIND CHILL ADVISORY FOR THE ENTIRE
AREA FOR OVERNIGHT TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING. WE ARE ALSO VERY
CONCERNED ABOUT THE POTENTIAL SETUP OF WIND...SNOW...AND BLOWING AND
DRIFTING SNOW FOR THE DAY ON FRIDAY AND FRIDAY EVENING.

FOR THE LAKE EFFECT TODAY...THE BIGGEST CONCERN IS ACROSS THE SW
CORNER OF THE CWFA. THERE IS A NICE BAND ONGOING FROM NEAR GRAND
HAVEN TO KALAMAZOO WITH THE MEAN LOW LEVEL NW FLOW IN PLACE.
INVERSION HEIGHTS ARE OVER 10K FEET AND THERE IS A NICE CONVERGENCE
BAND IN PLACE DOWN THERE. WE EXPECT THAT THIS BAND WILL REMAIN
ACROSS THE SW CORNER OF THE CWFA UNTIL THE MESOLOW SEEN NICELY
OFFSHORE FROM MANISTEE DROPS SOUTH OF THE AREA AND THE FLOW
TEMPORARILY BECOMES NE.

THE NRN LAKESHORE COUNTIES ARE NOT SEEING INTENSE LAKE EFFECT THIS
MORNING...BUT THERE ARE SNOW SHOWERS OUT THERE. THE CONCERN FOR THE
NRN LAKESHORE COUNTIES IS HOW MUCH THE MESOLOW AFFECTS THOSE
COUNTIES THROUGH 12Z THIS MORNING UNTIL IS DROPS SOUTH OF THE KMKG
AREA. WE THINK THAT AT LEAST THE WRN HALF OF THESE COUNTIES COULD
SEE SNOW SHOWERS FROM THIS...AND THEY WOULD HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO
DROP DECENT SNOWS IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. THIS IS WHY WE ARE
LEAVING THE ADVISORY OUT FOR NOW UP NORTH.

AS MENTIONED ABOVE...THE FLOW WILL BECOME N TO NE AS THE MESOLOW
SHIFTS SOUTH OF THE ENTIRE AREA. THIS WILL GIVE A BRIEF REPRIEVE TO
MOST OF THE AREA. THE BAND OF SNOW SHOWERS IS EXPECTED TO COME BACK
INLAND LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS THE SFC RIDGE STARTS TO
BUILD TOWARD THE AREA. AS THE SNOW SHOWERS MOVE ONSHORE...
CONVERGENCE FIELDS ARE SHOWING THAT THERE COULD BE SOME DECENT SNOW
BURSTS TOWARD SOUTH HAVEN BEFORE THE REMNANTS OF THE BAND MOVE
INLAND AND DISPERSE. A FEW LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE
EARLY TONIGHT...BUT THE UPPER JET CORE MOVES EAST OF THE AREA
OVERNIGHT WHICH WILL SQUASH ANY LAKE EFFECT.

WE WILL SEE SOME COLDER AIR MOVE IN THE TONIGHT WITH A WIND THAT
WILL REMAIN UP AROUND 10-15 MPH TONIGHT AS THE GRADIENT BEGINS TO
INCREASE. THE COLDER AIR COMBINED WITH THE WINDS LOOK TO BRING WIND
CHILLS DOWN INTO ADVISORY CRITERIA FOR MOST OF THE CWFA. THE COLDEST
VALUES WILL BE ACROSS THE FAR SOUTH AND EAST WHERE LITTLE TO NO
INFLUENCE FROM LAKE MICHIGAN WILL BE FELT. THESE SRN AND ERN AREAS
COULD SEE VALUES FLIRT WITH WARNING CRITERIA OF -25F...HOWEVER WE DO
NOT HAVE GOOD CONFIDENCE THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN.

THE FRI PERIOD LOOKS TO BE A PERIOD IN WHICH CONDITIONS WILL
DETERIORATE AS THE DAY PROGRESSES FOR MULTIPLE REASONS INCLUDING
STRONG WINDS...HEAVIER SNOW DEVELOPING...AND THE POTENTIAL FOR NEAR
BLIZZARD CONDITIONS TO DEVELOP IN BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW. YET
ANOTHER STRONG WAVE ORIGINATING FROM NRN CANADA AND THE ARCTIC WILL
DIVE SOUTH TOWARD THE AREA.

WE WILL BE ISSUING A WINTER STORM WATCH FOR FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT
FOR MOST OF THE WRN 3/4 OF THE CWFA. THIS IS WHERE A COMBINATION OF
THE WORST WIND AND BETTER SNOWFALL AND RESULTING WORST POTENTIAL
BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW WILL OCCUR WITH THE PREVAILING SW FLOW
DURING MUCH OF THE EVENT.

THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL STRENGTHEN SIGNIFICANTLY AS THE SYSTEM
COMING IN FROM THE NORTH PUSHES INTO THE STRONG HIGH EXPECTED TO BE
TO OUR SOUTH. THIS WILL BE ADVECTING WARMER AIR INTO THE AREA. AS
THE MOISTURE DEPTH INCREASES...THE ISENTROPIC ASCENT COMBINED WITH
SUFFICIENT OVER LAKE INSTABILITY WILL HELP TO DEVELOP SNOW ACROSS
THE NW PORTION OF THE CWFA BY 18Z FRI WITH LOW LEVEL SW FLOW. THE
SNOW WILL THEN SPREAD SOUTH AND EAST THROUGH 00Z SAT.

THE WINDS WILL GET CRANKING BEFORE THE PCPN BEGINS AND THEN WILL
OVERLAP THE PCPN SOME AS IT BEGINS TOWARD THE AFTERNOON. THE SNOW
COULD FALL AT A PRETTY GOOD CLIP LIKE IT DID YESTERDAY AND BE BLOWN
AROUND BY WIND GUSTS UP AROUND 40 MPH OR SO. THE SNOW ALSO ALREADY
ON THE GROUND COULD GET ALSO BLOWN AROUND. THE GOOD THING IS THAT
THE WINDS DIMINISH LATE FRI AFTERNOON WHILE PCPN IS STILL DEVELOPING
TO THE SOUTH. THERE COULD BE A PERIOD WHERE SNOW WOULD BE BLOWING
AND DRIFTING AND FALLING SNOW COULD CREATE NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS.
SNOW WILL THEN DIMINISH TO LAKE EFFECT ALONG THE COAST FRI NIGHT.

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 342 AM EST THU JAN 23 2014

COLD AND SNOW CONTINUES TO BE THE MAIN THEME OF THE FORECAST AND THE
LONG TERM IS NO EXCEPTION. 850MB TEMPS ARE SUB -20C MUCH OF THE
PERIOD WITH THE COLDEST AIR MOVING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH
MONDAY NIGHT. THE -28C ISOTHERM IS INTO THE CWA ON MONDAY...A DAY
THAT WILL LIKELY SEE HIGHS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS ABOVE ZERO F.

TWO SYNOPTIC SNOW EVENTS ARE SEEN IN THE FORECAST PERIOD...SATURDAY
AND AGAIN ON SUNDAY. THE SATURDAY EVENT IS AN EXTENSION OUT OF THE
SHORT TERM PERIOD AS A COLD FRONT WILL BE PRESSING OFF TO THE EAST
OF THE AREA. SUNDAY ANOTHER IN A SERIES OF CLIPPERS AFFECTS THE
