Area forecast discussion, Mar 17, 11:05 AM EDT, 22 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI
1105 AM EDT MON MAR 17 2014

LATEST UPDATE...
UPDATE

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 330 AM EDT MON MAR 17 2014

AFTER QUIET DAYS TODAY AND TUESDAY...A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE
INTO THE REGION TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY.  THIS SYSTEM WILL
BRING RAIN TO THE AREA INITIALLY...BUT THEN IT IS EXPECTED TO CHANGE
TO WET SNOW INTO WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.  LITTLE TO NO ACCUMULATION IS
EXPECTED HOWEVER.  ANOTHER CHANCE OF RAIN AND SNOW WILL COME FRIDAY
AND FRIDAY NIGHT.

DAYTIME TEMPERATURES WILL REACH THE 25 TO 30 DEGREE TODAY...THEN
WARM INTO THE LOW TO MID 40S FOR TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.  THEN
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO SLIP BACK INTO THE 30S FOR THE WEEKEND.

&&

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1106 AM EDT MON MAR 17 2014

I LARGELY EXPUNGED THE CHANCES FOR SNOW THIS EVENING FROM OUR
GRIDS AND WORDED FORECAST. I DO SO SINCE THERE IS TO MUCH OF A
DRY AIR LAYER BETWEEN THE SURFACE AND 800 MB (RUC/NAM SOUNDINGS) FOR
SIGNIFICANT SNOW TO REACH THE GROUND. THERE IS WARM ADVECTION LIFT
AIDED BY JET ENTRANCE REGION DYNAMICS TO BRING AN AREA OF MOSTLY
VIRGA ACROSS OUR NORTHERN CWA FOR THIS EVENING. THE LIFT IN THE
DGZ IS ACTUALLY STRONG OVER THE NORTHERN HALF OF LOWER MICHIGAN
THIS EVENING WHILE THIS WARM ADVECTION LIFT EVENT OCCURS. CURRENTLY
THERE IS AN AREA OF SNOW SHOWERS GOING ON OVER NORTHERN WISCONSIN
AND EASTERN MINNESOTA. THAT IS THE AREA THAT WILL PASS NORTH OF
OUR CWA EARLY TONIGHT. I DID LEAVE FLURRIES IN THE FORECAST NORTH
OF ROUTE 10 THROUGH FOR THIS EVENING SINCE IT IS POSSIBLE A FEW
SNOW FLAKES COULD REACH THE GROUND UP THERE.

OTHERWISE THE GOING FORECAST LOOKS GREAT.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 330 AM EDT MON MAR 17 2014

NOT MUCH CHANGE TO THE GOING FORECAST.  THE MAIN FOCUS WAS ON THE
SYSTEM THAT WILL IMPACT THE REGION TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY.

THE MODELS REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT TRACKING THE MID WEEK SYSTEM TO
OUR WEST AND ALLOWING LOWER MICHIGAN TO GET INTO THE WARM SECTOR.
THIS MEANS RAIN FOR MUCH OF THE EVENT TUESDAY NIGHT...THEN AS THE
SYSTEM MOVES NE ACROSS THE EASTERN U.P. AND INTO CANADA COLDER AIR
WILL WRAP IN ON WEDNESDAY LEADING TO RAIN MIXED WITH WET SNOW
FLAKES.  WE SHOULD TREND TOWARD MORE SNOW BY THE END OF THE DAY
WEDNESDAY.  HOWEVER ACCUMS SHOULD BE MINIMAL...PERHAPS UP TO AN INCH
IN THE HIGHER GROUND TOWARD HIGHWAY 10.  THE SYSTEM WILL LARGELY BE
DRIVEN BY THE UPPER JET AND IT/S UPPER DIVERGENCE WHICH CROSSES
CENTRAL LOWER LATE TUESDAY NIGHT...SO WILL TREND POPS HIGHER OVER
THE NORTHERN CWA.  TEMPS SHOULD MAKE IT INTO THE 40S TUE AND
WED...BUT A BRISK WSW WIND WILL BRING FALLING TEMPS BY WED AFTERNOON.

UNTIL THEN WE WILL BE WITHIN A WARM ADVECTION PATTERN TODAY THROUGH
TUESDAY.  SEEING SOME LIGHT SNOW BEING REPORTED NEAR THE NORTHERN
MN/WI BORDER THIS MORNING.  THIS AREA SHOULD SLIDE ESE TOWARD THE
HIGHWAY 10 REGION BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON...SO HAVE ADDED LOW CHANCE
POPS THERE.  THIS SNOW WILL HAVE TO BATTLE DRY LOW LEVELS SO MOST
PLACES WILL PROBABLY ONLY SEE A TRACE OF SNOW INTO THIS EVENING
BEFORE IT LIFTS OUT BY MIDNIGHT.

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 330 AM EDT MON MAR 17 2014

WE WILL REMAIN LOCKED IN A COLD PATTERN DURING THE LONG TERM PERIOD
AS TROUGHING ALOFT GENERALLY PERSISTS OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION.
THERE ARE A COUPLE OPPORTUNITIES FOR SNOW THAT WILL NEED TO BE
WATCHED.

SOME LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY NIGHT IN THE
WRAPAROUND/CYCLONIC FLOW BEHIND THE DEPARTING SYSTEM. LITTLE OR NO
SNOW ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED. SFC RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BRINGS A
PERIOD OF DRY WEATHER ON THURSDAY.

A BURST OF ISENTROPIC LIFT THURSDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY AHEAD OF
A DIGGING SHORTWAVE OVER THE NRN PLAINS COULD LEAD TO A BAND OF
ACCUMULATING SNOW OVER SRN LWR MI. HOWEVER CONFIDENCE IS LOW AT THIS
TIME AS MODELS ARE NOT IN GREAT AGREEMENT ON QPF AMOUNTS AND WHERE
THIS BAND MAY SET UP.

THE UPPER WAVE IMPACTS THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY SATURDAY AND
SHOULD BRING A BETTER CHANCE FOR A PERIOD OF ACCUMULATING SNOW
RELATED TO THE DEFORMATION ZONE. AMOUNTS DO NOT LOOK TOO
SIGNIFICANT AT THIS TIME THOUGH. MUCH COLDER AIR MOVES IN BEHIND
THIS SYSTEM NEXT SUNDAY WITH H8 TEMPS FALLING TO NEAR -20C.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z TUESDAY MORNING)
ISSUED AT 740 AM EDT MON MAR 17 2014

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 325 PM EDT SUN MAR 16 2014

RIVERS FOR THE MOST PART ARE HOLDING STEADY THANKS TO THE FREEZING
TEMPERATURES. HOWEVER FROM TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY THE STRONG
WINDS... TEMPERATURES IN THE 40S AND DEW POINTS RISING ABOVE
FREEZING WILL FREE UP MORE WATER AND LIKELY PUSH RIVER LEVELS UP.
AT THIS POINT THE SYSTEM IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH FOR DANGEROUSLY
STRONG MELT OFF... SO LIKE THE PAST FEW SYSTEMS... ANOTHER PERIOD
OF MELTING BUT NOT ENOUGH TO CAUSE DANGEROUS FLOODING.
